 Maggie opened the door of Moth er Gregory's large and imposing house for Glory. "How do you do, Maggie?" Glory said as naturally as she could. Mag gie nodded grimly,
 Mrs. Gregory is In the front par Tor. ma'am," she said. Glory drew in long breath, as the dark red curtains of the old fashioned room dropped behind 1 her.
 Mother Gregory was sitting in a | Sleepy Hollow chair before the fire. The parlor with Its heavy walnut furniture and oil paintings was in shadow.
 Did you want me for anything spccial?" Glory faltered, She was afraid of Mother Gregory as she never had been afraid of any | body before in all her life.
 Something very special .. if you call it that!" the older woman snapped The thin nostrils of her Roman nose dilated, angrily.
 "Who who was that man you had in your car out in the country this afternoon" she asked, And what were you doing in such God forsaken spot with him?" a..
 "Oh, it's not so God-forsaken as al that" Glory answered with all the courage she could command. You were there, weren't you?"
 Yes, and on d perfectly good er- rand . collecting the rent from the tenant out on our farm," Moth CT Gregory answered. "Now, I've been frank with you -. you be frank with me! Who was the man?''
 You wouldn't know him Stanley Wayburn, the actor" Glory answered. She lifted her head and went on bravely.
 TT just happened to bump into him . . and offered him a lift, ' she said, What makes you always think the worst of me?"
 Mother Gregory looked at Glory for a full minute before she an swered.
 Well, on this particular occa- sion," she said, the thing that makes me think so badly of you is 1 that I plainly saw the fellows arm around you, Gloria! I was right be- hind your car for a good half-mile before your friend saw me"
 Spying on me-" Glory cried dis. dainfully. "A fine thing to dol"
 Mother' Gregory laughed with grim triumph.
 "Youl stand a little watching, guess, young woman!" she said And now. look bree, I'm not go- And now, look here, I'm not go. ing to let him find you out for him self.
 'He wouldn't believe you if you did tell him. And that's all tha1 stops you. Don't think for minute I don't know it," interrupted Glory And another thing MT. Way burn did not have his arm around me when you saw us! It may have been lying along the back of tht seat, but that's all . I'll tell Dtcl about it, myself"
 She turned on her heel and wen out of the house.
 Glory intended to tell Dick al about her chance meeting witl Stanley Wayburn, that night. Bu when he came home long afte midnight, he told her that he wa going out of town for two or thre' days on business. And she forgo about Wayburn, for the time.

 Aren't you sorry for the way yo talked to me today down in you ofice?" she asked.

 s In the morning when GIor r Rawoke he was gone.
 While she was having her coffe . the telephone rang.
