She stood pouting at life in general
and study In particular. She turned
back to her task and stood in so mel
ancholy posture that Doctor Royce
passing her window and seeing her
paused to study her for moment as

college; they were members of the
same fraternity.

sum-" Doctor Royce suggested.
Gloria was shocked at the idea. She
pointed to the blackboard I'm in
Jail for thousand years. 1t will take
me at least that long to do this hate
full problem"
Royce could not enter her room to
go to the blackboard, so he asked her
to bring the blackboard to him. She
fetched it joyously and gave him chalk
and said: There isn't any answer,
though"
He was too polite to say, "Why, this
is the easiest thing in the world" but
he showed that it was for him by the
speed and smiling ease of his chalk
work
In a moment the riddle was solved.
Gloria understood it little less than
before, but it meant a release from
captivity, ard she was so. entranced
that she flung her arms about him and
gave him a resounding kiss and called
him "a wonderful, marvellous, angel
man."
To her it was a kiss of childish
gratitude for the help of older wis
dom. She hurried the blackboard back
to the easel and began, to copy the
doctors neat figures in her own
scrawl.
But Royce stood quivering with the
unexpected attack. He knew that it
was young girls kiss given in conf
dence and ignorance and it was
therefore sacred. But he could not
help feeling a thrill of prophetic hope.

Soon she must grow up to womanhood
and-she must love someone, and why
not him? She was very rich, but his
own future was gorgeous in his
dreams, and Gloria was the most
gorgeous thing in his gorgeous
dreams
Then he >reproached himself for the
mood and grew sad at the thought of
the years that must roll over Gloria s
sunlit head before he could even pay
court to her. And in those years what
dangers might she not encounter
dangers to her health, her soul, her
happiness? He longed to protect her
through them all.
He saw that Gloria had already for
gotten him. She had copied his work
and she was rubbing out his calcula-
tons. He wondered If that were
prophetic, too.
When Gloria had the blackboard all
shipshape she howled to the govern
ess to come and see her triumph.
Gloria regretted the deception; but
what other refuge has the weak from
the strong?
Miss Sidney raised her eyebrows
and doubtless suspected that Gloria
had enjoyed outside aid; but she had
an engagement Of her own with the
tutor of q rich young imbecile, and
she pretended to be convinced.
Gloria was permitted to call it an
algebra lesson, and for a reward she
was assigned to the study of list of
the English kings. Gloria did not mind
that, for she hid stolen novel inside
the page and read something far more
important to her than ancient history

any importance that day, neither had

The Most Unkindest Cut.

The truest and most devoted friend
that man ever had is the little mani
mate bundle of nerves that stands
guard by his bedside through the
dead hours of the nights, its palpitat-
ing little heart spreading cheer and
confidence over the surrounding
gloom. Yet man often forgets the debt
of gratitude he owes this faithful and
tireless little friend for the sleepless
watchful hours it subjects itself to in
order that he may slumber in secur-
ity and comfort, and when it sings it's
merry morning lay l have seen him,
instead Of bestowing fond caresses,
reach from his warm quilts, grasp it
ruth1essly and slam it into the farth-
est and darkest corner of the room,
crushing the dainty hands that seemed
uplifted in an attitude of horror and
protection and unworthy reproaches
as these, Damn that blinkety-blank
alarm clock anyhow!" then return to

came back N-iss Sidney pointed to the

herself sill 3 back into childhood
at breakl.o-k speed. She had no
more idea of what it all meant than
newborn babe. She put ON pair OF
big tortoise shell spectacles, but they
made her look younger than ever and
gave her 70 help. She could see that
foolish arb, but she could not see why
anyone should want to know what
would happen if you did such fool
ish thing as to multiply it by itself.
When the blackboard blurred before
her eyes she moved to the window and
stared at the glittering merriment Of
the crowd. Everybody was at play ex-
cept Gloria; people in bathing suits.
Yachting flannels, golf toys, tennis
things, bicycle clothes, motor gear.

By and by Gloria saw Lois Freeman
come in from the links. When Dick
freneau sauntered up Lois deserted
her father at once. Gloria did not like
the way she ogled Mr.. F,reneau Lois
used the same languishing express
sions Gloria had seen her working off

Gloria wanted to run out and warn
poor Mr.. Freneau that Lois was a de-
ceitful mink. Mr.. Ferneau had such
lovely, trusting eyes; it was crime
to lure him on. Gloria meditated

years they had been very near to each

ria's proud soul to watch David com

FIRST EPISODE
Lost in the Everglades.

Rather remarkable, isn't it," said
the sick old lion, Judge Freeman
that the most expensive hotel and
the most luxurious resort in the
world should be only few miles from
an almost impenetrable wilderness in
habited by Indians that the United
States army could never dislodge?'
Yes, it is odd" said his young doc
tor; "but the prices here are almost az
mpenetrable as the knife grass of the
everglades. And as for Indians, the
United States navy couldn't dislodge
some of these old millionaire squaws
from their snobbery."

the judge agreed. Here we've been
for two whole weeks and Lois doesn't

Royce checked him with a gesture

"Sit still, judge; it's only Gloria

The judge settled back into his
blanket, grumbling: THE little devil

things that amused and justified her
flight She was child, but she had
possessed herself of this perilous en-.
CINE She was flying at forty miles an
hour along almost deserted roads, cut
ting through sleeping villages, little
GASES in jungle that closed more
and more gloomily, threateningly
about the road. She had no idea OF
the time or the distance. She only
knew that at last she was free. At
last she was ruling something.
Then abruptly she lost control OF
the wheel. 1t wavered this way and
that with terrifying uncertainty. The
steering gear had broken.
With sudden sharp swerve the car
shot from the road and out upon the
beach. Paralyzed with amazement
more than fear, Gloria was carried
across the sand straight into the
waves. They rushed toward her as IL
the ocean were hungry for her But
the wheels sank in the wet sand and
the breakers did not capture Gloria
They almost drowned her in their
warm flood, however, and she made
haste to extricate herself and climb
out.
No human being saw that strange
apparition, unless it were Father Nep
tune, and he must have thought 1t was
Venus rising from the sea again-this
time in a very fashionable but very
moist dinner gown.
Gloria was only the more exultant
from this new experience. She stood
moment on the car, then jumped on
and raced a wave to the shore.
She found herself in wilderness OF
sand dunes and mysterious bushes.
She plunged among them, thinking
less of making her way home than OF
exploring little deeper this Eden in.
to which she had stumbled
She did not know what dangers
lurked on every hand. There were
multitudes Of serpents in this Eden
cold, fierce rattlesnakes under the
most beautiful flowers Beneath the
moonlit waters of little bayous were
hungry alligators; under the unwary
feet the quicksands might open; the
paths ended suddenly In entangle
ments of tall sword grass that slashed
the skin at touch
And deep in the Businesses were the
remnants of the Seminole tribe who
had fought the whites for years and
bafiied them till palefaced treachery
overcame the Indian wiles. The red
men had never forgiven the whites,
and they regarded their intrusions
with hatred.
AS children scamper into blood
curdling danger with laughter, so the
child Gloria danced through Paradise
not knowing that she was lost in the,
everglades.
