M!IIETE ZENITH EPISODE
Her Vow Fulfilled

As Lois Stafford fed down the ter
races of her father-in-law' majestic
estate, her own life seemed to be SYM
boized n her desperate ambition to
destroy herself. The flowers and the
aromatic shrubs threw out their frag-
rance about her, but she would not
pause. She was bent upon the tragedy
waiting for her in the deep ravine
toward which the express train was
plun@iEg as if in obedience to her sum-
mons.
The cries Of Gloria, who pursued
her frantica1ly, came to her like the
voice of conscience. She had never
needed that voice and she would not
hearkCn to it now. She had trOdden
the primrose path Of dalliance and it
had led her forth into the glare Of eX-
posture. She would not endure the
shame. It seemed better to her ire
sponsble soul to run away from self
denial. She had not cared what laws
OF fidelity she broke and she did not
care now what hearts she might
break. Her husbands furnished honor,
her fathers blighted career, did not
win thought from her.
1t WAS Gloria who thought Of these
things even as she followed. Gloria
1elt more guilt than Lois, for Gloria
had confronted Lois with the proofs
OF her perfidy, never fancying that
Lois would answer the charge by pun
fishing herself with the same reckless
ness that had marked her sin. AS she
saw Lois running toward death with
eagerneSS, she understood for the first
time that it vas il Lois character
70 90 everything Dassionate!y. She
realized that Lois had always been
LOIS, and that her fault was, perhaps,
p2%oua her own control. Lois was
The commonwealth. (Scotland Neck, N.C.) 1896-1929, 1917-06-01

born without imagination OF conse-
quences and without an instinct of
justice for others. Was Lois to blame
for her failure to inherit such quail
tiles? At the time, at least, Gloria
was convinced that Lois was like one
born blind, more to be forgiven than
hated. Gloria felt only pity for her
siSter-in-laW and she accused herself
Of cruelty in demanding payment Of
her.
Gloria ran as fast as she could, her
heart beating till she was ready to
fail down with the pain Of it. She
was about to give up when Lois, glanc-
ing back for a last look at the beauti-
full earth she was about to leave,
stumbled and went to her knees.
She rose at once and sped on, but
Gloria had been enabled to gain On
her, and to overtake her at the very
edge of the ravine. With loving ruth
lessness Gloria flung herself on Lois
and dragged her back.
Lois fought with insane ferocity,
tearing Gloria's hands loose and with
ing out of her clasp But Gloria seized
hold again and again. Lois carried
her back to the brink and the turf at
the edge gave way under their feet as
they Wrestled. Gloria had now her
own life to@fight for as well as Lois,
for at any moment both women might

They were still battling when the
engine reared past. The trainman,
leaning out OF his window, stared up
at them in amazement. They were
still struggling when the last coach
flashed past.
It was only then, when her weapon
of suicide was gone from her reach,
that Lois gave up the fight. She fell

afraid OF facing life than death, and
she sobbed with terror if not with re-
