a canal boat captain. He met her in
a cheap boarding house, where he
paid his landlady nothing much ex'
cept his promises and some extrava-

He behaved very shabbily in his af-
fair with Nell Trask, and deserted her
her, he got a tip on the market and
sold it to broker, who gave him a
share of the proceeds.
He was so tired of poverty that he
went to New York and anticipated his
promise. But Gloria and her father
were abroad on a summer vacation,
and Freneau was thrown on his own
resources. lie fiirted himself into an.

a most cor initial tip, he got in as a
sort of stow way in a piratical raid
on the market and cleaned up SO
much money that Mulry was glad to
take him into full partnership as the

Never before in all her luxurious
young life had Gloria encountered the
slightest hardship The most eX
quisite of the niceties of existence had
been hers as regularly as the breath
she drew. So she had wearied of them
and rebelled. And now she had found

Gloria felt it especially lucky that
since she had to be rescued fate had

looking rescuer for her. The more
she studied Mr.. Freneau the better
she liked him. He had a nice name
too-a nice, marriable name.
The only fly in the ointment was the
bad behavior of DR.. Royce. She had
thought him charming. But now he
sulked and moped.
DIR. Royce was glum because he did
not know just what he ought to do
He was confronted with a duty that
ne could not solve. 1t was like some
obscure disease, hard to diagnosticate.
To speak up and denounce Freneau
as liar and thief was impossible
Royce had no proof that Freneau had
played either the cad or the coward
He knew only that Freneau must have
seen him battling with the Indian, and
a decent man would have come to
the assistance of a fellow white
Even if Freneau had felt that he ought
to put Gloria in the boat first, he
might have come back to help Royce.

everglades by that $4,000 lottery prize.
He had won it; and it looked as If
Freneau were expecting to win
Gloria's love in the bargain. For

her eyes.
