would not let her lover be snubbed 20
arrantly. She knew that argument
with this imperative relative was
worse than useless. so she merely nod
ded her head In obedience md sat
about to circumvent her. huttering
about again while her aunt returned
to her own list. Gloria annexed an
invitation. an envelope. and pen. and
tho deed was done. An invitation to
Mr.. Richard Freneau reposed In tho
basket with those all ready for tho
mail. and with elaborate Innocence
Gloria danced over to her ignorant
relation.
When that invitation was received
at the ONCE OF Freneau a Mulry Il
seemed like a message from heaven
to tho almost broken brokers. Tho
business was in fearful shape and
they wero about ready TO close up

Mulry had been pacing the door.

ON the back and said:
THE main thing Is that she thinks
you saved her.sso it's her turn to save
you. Marry her quick! We can Dor
row big wad on your fatherin-law's

Freneau saw the point and prom
ised. His triumphant smile did not
last long.
His mind shifted back and forth
like shuttlecock, weighing all the
chances. There was his ENHANCEMENT
with Lois. What doubledyed fool
he had been to flirt with Gloria's sis
ter-in-lsw! How very careless of him!
She might spoil everything. She would
be bound to see and know something
of his courtship.
He felt sure he could win Gloria
over again as he had won her heart
five years before. provided he could
still pose in the light of courageous
and faithful suitor. But Lois must be
kept from running everything. His
best chance lay in speed. he thought.
and his ability to keep Lois quiet.
His face cleared and his most
charming smile was turned to Mulry.

FOURTH EPISODE

Gloria went as II blindfolded
through the glittering thronss in the
corridor Of the Metropolitan. It was
a cruel humiliation to her young heart
not even to be recognized by the man
she had waited for through I'VE eter'
nal years. the man she had loyalty
considered herself engaged to all that
time.
But Freneau was not long in finding
out his mistake. Gloria had run away
from her father to run to Freneau.
only to run away from him in turn.
Old Stafford. looking for Gloria, en-.
countered Freneau. shook him warmly
by the hand and asked: Have you
seen my daughter?"
Then he realized with a shock that
the man Freneau was engaged to his
daughter. and that the respite Of five
years was up. The mortgage on
Gloria's heart was due. Stafford
glowered at the handsome young
enemy of his happiness.
But Freneau had suddenly realized

IS OPPOSED TO "CLIOUE".
a. j. Bcthea, in Statement, Says He
held No Caucus.

Columbia, Oct. 2S.-The following
statement has been issued by Licuten-
ant Governor A. ]. Bethea, relative to
his candidacy for governor, in which
he says that he held no caucus during
Fair week or at any other time:
II am absolutely and unalterably op-
| posed to the clique, to the secret eau
GUS, and to any and everything that
smacks Of ring rule and the machine
method in politics. Others may do as
they please, but as for me, 1 propose
to make my appeal directly to the peo-
pie, as l have heretofore done, and I
am willing to commit my cause to
their hands. 1t may be we'll, however,
for those who caucus and plot in Sc
cret places to remember that the SOW
ereign peope are going to have some
thing to say about the election in 1918
and that they are entirely competent
to do their own choosing. 1t is also
well to remember though those who
form cliqucs do not believe 1.-THE
| saying Of Jefferson, so often repeated
! by Wilson, that governments derive
their powers from the consent of the
governed.
1--WE are in the midst of a great and
righteous war to make the world safe
for democracy, and am giving now
and expect to continue to give what
| ever power, whatever strength and
whatever influence that I possess in
upholding the hands Of Woodrow Will
son and the honor Of tho flag of my
country. 1t is the duty Of every man
to do this, but it is also our impcra-
tive duty to keep democracy safe in
South Carolina. I know that stand
upon a platform that is as strong as
the Rock Of Gibraltar itself and I do
not intend to be showed off OF IL or
to alter my course. I am informed
and believe that vain efforts arc be-
ing made in certain quarters by a few
who would, if they could, use the
| PrusSian method to select candidates
and direct policies for our State gov
crnmcnt. This is one of tho things I
expect to fight and I know I have
thousands Of friends in all sections of
the state VINO will take tho same po-
sition and resent any effort on the
part Of anyone to dictate to them how

Big Painting Comes to Life in Screen
PLAY

one OF the most impressive scenes
ever reproduced on the screen is the
INSTALLATION Of Hoffmans wonderful
painting, MARY Magdalcne Brought
Before Christ" which will be shown
IN the Metro wonderplay starring
Ethel Barrymore, "The Lifted Veil,"
which will be seen at the Opera
House on Tuesday.
The picture is first seen as q stain
ed glass window in the church where
the heroine played byNIiss Barrymore,
is worshipping. Impressed by the
powerful sermon, and the sight of the
sun breaking through the stained
glass picture, the picture itself seems
TO assume life in her minds eye.
The figures of the painting are seen
to move and the whole impressive
scene. when the mob drags Mary
Magdalcnc before Christ, is acted be-
tore the spectator up to the moment
when Christ shamcs the woman's
captors with the words: Let him that
is without sin among you cast the first
stone"
Gradually the mob is seen to stink
away, leaving the two principal
figures together and then these dis
solve again into the stained glass win
dow.
The experience has profound ef-
feet on the life and thoughts Of
Clorinda Gilderslcevc, the heroine. In
Icldcntally, the scene furnishes an op-
nortnnity for remarkable photogra-
ply.
