THE STORY SO FAR “Where you ran a carpet “I'm going to run an automobile, Gloria Gordon tells her hard-worked mother on the eve of her marriage to Ihek Gregory. She baa made up her nilnd that through Dick she will gain the luxury and easy life that her butterfly soul craves. He has already given her a house. On the night before the wedding Pick begs Gloria to come downstairs to kiss him. after she has fetired She refuses . . . but only because she doesn’t believe in surrendering to a man's • wild whims. So Pick waits for his Idas until after the wedding, when the two leave on their honeymoon. By Beatrice Burton CHAPTER 11. _ ■] ER honeymoon was the most Lj wonderful time of Gloria’s * A i life. She slept the mornings away, and breakfasted elegantly at noon. In the afternoons she and Dick hired a fiacre to take them far up the steep road to Mt. Rcyal, or out into the country. They ate in quaint little French restaurants. And Gloria shopped! —— She brought beads and earrings and more than a dozen bottles of French perfume, while Dick stayed in the hotel reading. Gloria had never known any one who read so much as he.

The Sequel to

By Ellnore Melierin Her -words poured out like a blessing—a holy ointment of. As though to her own thought she spoke: “Once when life seemed done for me; when it seemed very hard, Jake came. He said She noblest things. He was as kind. No one can know, nc: any one, the greatness that he did.’i* David looked at her white face and her deep, tremulous eyes. They were filled with tears. He would have told her that he knew Jake’s service and blessed him; that he heard Jake’s murmur. “Sweeter — whiter —my Helena —’’ and that he bowed to Jake for that. But she seemed not to see or care. She seemed then to him more lonely than the dead —lonelier than the picture Emerson had drawn of her that had whipped up in him such a maddening desire to rush down and look at her; see if her face might be the same; speak to her; say out his thoughts— She was standing now with an infinite, yearning tenderness on her face as it had been in that last moment when she stooped to put her arms on Jake. The 'friend who had helped her and who had her trust was gone. He wondered what she would do now. She would become more aloof —more shut away than ever. More tragic than a death is that — He said softly: “Yes—there was a greatness in him —he understood.’ 1 She turned away sharply, wondering hew be came to say a thing like that. Then he added: “How sad that there should come a time when we can not do anything at all for those we love —when we stand silent and let them pass—it seems to me as though all gladness leaves the earth with Jake —” She tried to smile, but the tears were in her throat. For it was so, Indeed. Jake's friendship and his love fcr her kept her in tune with the brightness of life. It was his way to bring her Joys—a flower or a jewel— No other did this. She had Jennie and Jonathan, Mary and Janina. They had her love. In these last years, though, It was always she who brought the merriment to them; not they to her In these new times It was Chlckle who surprised Jennie with anew waist, Jonathan with a richly colored tie, or the two of them with little pastries for dinner. And when she called cm Mary there were the children, of course—trinkets for them and toys. But from Jake she had taken and taken. He wanted that. What was a sapphire bracelet! Only that it gave a sparkle or two to her eyes. And what was a basket of orchids if she would blush with childish delight at his extravagance! Many, many days his face was in her thoughts—the rolllcky light In his eyes. She would stop short In her work because of tears—or to say to herself: “Oh, gone! Not really—'* and then a whole troupe of smiling, vital Jakes stepped before her. She heard him often as that moment when he said: "Now wait —’tls the first time, begorra, your friend Mr. Munson, ever spoke of marriage—" One night she went home for dinner. Jonathan took Jake’s death muoh to heart: “That was the friend of friends, Chlckle girl. That was one of God’s noblemen—" And Jennie, with her old-fashioned ideas, wished to visit the grave—why, yes, when Thanksgiving came let them all go down and fill their arms with flowers. You don’t know —the dear ones gone may like a thought like that. There they are up behind the golden benches looking down to see if one forgets or if one holds the memory warm and most beloved. This night Chlckle wanted only Wildie with her—wanted a long, long walk. Five years there had been walks with the dog—Just five years slnoe Jake had brought him—since the night he stood in the hall, so tickled to find her glad. Yet when she stooped, enraptured and kissed the dog, Jake’s face grew white and l.e said with a sharp breath: "Here l Don't you do that again! Not while I’m around!" She hadn’t trusted Jake a great deal in those days. How wrong one’s vision often Is! And now—gone from her — he reached out to drop more gifts in Chickie’s lap—lt was of these that she must think. The seven dollars bo had left her in his will —not j neven osly —a sum thafr staggered Chickte’a thought

“For a rising young lawyer, you’re quite a high-brow, it seems to me,” she said one morning. She was lying back in a long chair while the hotel hair-dresser marvelled her reddish* gold hair. She laughed almost scornfully. Dick made no answer. He sp.t down, and picked up a book, only o put it down. He filled his’pipe ar.d laid it unlighted, on the dresser. “Come he. \ restless soul, I want to talk to you,” Gloria held out to him a slim hand. “Do you know, it’s awfully cold out doors? I nearly froze yesterday. I need a coat. I’d like a fur one. I’ve been looking at one In that little shop down the street . Her voice trailed off. The hairdresser' had finished her work and was putting her iron and brushes away in a little black bag. Glory paid her. * * * T r "j HE moment the door had closed behind her, Dick came J across the room. He put his hands under Gloria’s elbows, holding her away from him. “Look here, please don’t have people hanging around here all the time,” he said. “You’re beautiful enough without having your hair curled every time the wind blows. I

Jake left to Jonathan In trust for her and she was to have it when she was 26—she was to have $30,000 and to do with it whatever she might like—just anything. The lawyer told her Jako said that very thing— It filled her heart with an odd fear. Oh, not for her was all this wealth. He meant she must do well with it —something to make him proud—she wondered what— CHAPTER ~LXXXI Widening Vista Sr HE felt half sad that Jake had given her all this money. She hack told him he must send her $7 and qUick. For she was to open a foundling asylum where every child would be God’s blessed child no matter who It was nor that it had but stolen passports. In a whimsical bitterness she wrote this —that night sh 6 felt so certain love and sweetness were not for her, so she must have a mission in her life. That was the time David went away and she dreaded so what he wpuld hear; the time Jake was coming back to say that sh must marry him —a thing she could not do. It was quite in Jest she wrote and to hide her panic at the vision of long, empty years.... But now the money would be In her hands. She was bewildered with a sense of its responsibility . Wildie brought her sticks, for be wanted notice. She threw the sticks so listlessly he pawed and gave sharp, inquiring yaps as though to say: “Wakj up, will you! Make it worth my while to fetch them!” But he was an understanding fellow tend resigned to a pretty lady’s moods. So finally he stretched himself forth at her feet, reaching up now and -hen to lick her hand, or rub his moisi, sleek nose along her arm. A lot Jake would care what she did with the money! Why, he would be the very one to say: “Take yourself to town, my dear, and deck yourself in pearls and laces!” He didn’t like old ruins wrapped with the flowers of May. The sweets of life were for the young and for the beautiful and it is suicide' to kill the Joy that should be ours. That was Jake’s creed. He mocked when she said so fervently that she was done with asking gifts of life; her turn had come to serve. So—she meant to climb a martyr’s pyre and thought that he would bring the torch to light it? Not much! He loved life far too well to see a beauty in denial. She mused in a vagrant way on this and how her life had shifted; the very fiber of her nature altered. Five years ago—three years ago she would not long have pondered where and how to spenß*a fortune. Then it was enough to see herself all color in a dress of shimmery green; to know herself so sweet with perfume at her ears. How far away that airy flippant seemed. Half with a touch of cynicism she regarded it, wondering why all this change had come; and if, after all, as Janina said, we should not care what tools life useo, nor through what flaming furnace she Is pleased to send us

so that we come out fine and strong in the end. She got up. Wildie stretched with long, sensuous yawns. At their feet, the city wearing her thousand ropes of glowing amber Jewels slept on a purple couch beneath the hills. Nothing decided. Oh—well—time yet. Still a few months before she was 26 —then a year before this new wealth would be completely in her hands. But It was nearing the end of her training. Soon she would be finished, then she would start out for herself —then she would be a person, alone. She thought a. great deal of this. It brought a wider sadness to her eyes; a depth that was appealing to the young pale mouth. David noticed it. Her rmellness affected him in a desolate way. She was very gentle; very eager in all her work, but she would not go out with him. She kept this up until he wondered if she had loved Jake, and, even on that fated night, was awaiting his coming. Was that the reason she canceled all her dates with him? He remembered vividly the pain and sweetness on her face when she kissed Jake; remembered, too, that twice in those nights when he brought her a cup of coffee, aching

His voice was choked and queer. Gloria could feel the beating of his heart against her own, and the quivering of his hands. With one of her own she pushed him away from her. She smoothed down h,er ruffled hair. “Do you think you can afford the cqat? It’s S4OO . . . the one I want, dear,” she said coolly. “It’s a Jacket of Siberian squirrel.” She laced her fingers at the back of ; his neck and held her face up to his. “Say you’ll get it for me,” she said. Without a word Dick nodded and turned away. He picked up his pipe and his book. “I’m going down to tjiie men’s lounge for a while,” he said shortly. "I’ll meet you at the elevator at 2.

to see her so white, so troubled, she had taken it without seeming to notice him. He was well aware that she had not thanked hifh. So perhaps her heart was lost with Jake. 1 \ This explanation piqued him. made him restless and unhappy. For ho was young and she had turned eyes dewy and tender to his. She had said,“You’re glorious!” And he liked that. Then, once she had been glad to have his arms about her. Trifles, but they thrilled warmly all along his nerves. Then there was the picture of her in the garden, tears on her lashes when she read that book of young and flaming love. Would she cry so if she were in love with Jake? Would she have let him hold her bands as she did—and as he now remembered? No —It pleased him better to believe that he wa dismissed because of that old thing in her life rather than because of a tragic love for Jake. So he persisted. The more aloof she was, the more impatient he became. And the more it seemed cruel and pathetic that she should hold to this idea of punishment. One nigiit as he was leaving the hospital he saw her walking down

“She certainly did,’’ answered old Mr. Gregory. Mrs. Gregory beamed at Gloria. “Dick sometimes has nervous indigestion, as you probably know, my dear," she said In her rich contralto voice, "and when he has an attack, /i always cook everything for him myself ... vepr carefully. You undoubtedly will, too.” “I can’t cook,” Gloria said in a very small voice. “I can’t cook at all.” Mother Gregory frowned. Then her wide brow cleared. "You will learn,” she smiled comfortably. “You will learn.” And Gloria smiled back with her ripe lips. But there was no smile in her amber eyes. They were like pools of water that no sunlight has warmed. i• • • . , . She would never learn to cook! She would never be a household drudge, her hands shriveled with washing dishes. Her nails broken. Her dresses smudged with pastry flour, ... If Dick’s mother thought this was the kind of girl her son had married, she was jolly well mistaken! *• • - Gloria widened her eyes. She turned to Mother Gregory. “By the way, I’ll need a cook right the block. He followed slowly. At a corner she stopped. He drove close behind her and said: “Lonesome, girl? Like to have a ride?” She turned with a sharp indignant glance. He laughed and with a deep bow pulled off. his hat. “You frightened me.” “Is that the way you look when frightened? For a moment I had the shivers. Please come with me.” He looked quite boyish and said it in a very humble way that greatly pleased her. She hesitated: "I have some work to do ” He repeated, and taking her arm: “Please come. You’ve not talked to me in weeks. I wonder why—no, you really haven’t the right to end a thing in this queenly fashion without “By your leave, or any little gracious wmrd like that— ’’ For the firqt time in weeks a merriment rippled from her heart. "Oh, come on, then —won’t you, Helena —there are some things you ought to say to me. I’ve been hungering for them—” She wanted to go. It was dark. No one would see them. She went —It was a fragrant Indian summer night although the time was November. The wind was soft and the moon yellow as old gold. Chickie said it made her sad to look at moons and skies that are a thousand colors —to look on these and know that one who has rejoiced so much may not again behold their beauty....

away,” she said sweetly. “I wonder ts Maggie would know of anyone who wants a place. If Dick has a weak stomach, my efforts at cooking would kill him, most likely.” After dinner she and Dick walked home to the new house. It was white with green sifutters, and it nestled among the evergreens that surrounded it. Everything in it was fresh and new. Dick and she had spent happy months buying furniture for It. "I say, Glory, I wonder If we can afford a cook,” Dlok began the first of what Gloria later called his “economy sermons." • • • SHEY had just come into the little house. Glory switched on the lights and sighed with Joy. The house with its Chinese rugs and yellow silk curtains was a dream. A dream come true! "Afford a cook? Why, of course, we can afford a cook,” she said. It was absurd that a successful lawyer couldn’t afford a cook for his wife! “I’m not so sure,” Dick said. He set thejr bags on the floor and dropped into a chair. “You see, dearest,” he went on, “the furniture isn’t quite paid for. And our honeymoon sent a thousand dollars to the four winds. Then, there was the fur coat I gave you “Well, for goodness sake, what did you want to get married for, if you couldn’t afford to keep up a home?” Gloria asked with sudden fury. She was tired, and she was sure that Dick’s mother hated her. “Your mother thinks that I ought to spend my whole life cooking, so you think so, too! Well, I’m not going to . . . d’you hear?

"Dick!" Gloria called, “Oh, Dick!” Immediately he appeared In the doorway. His face was covered with lather, and he held a shaving brush. “Dick Gregory, why did you throw that water into my face last night?” Gloria asked. Dick grinned. “Because I thought you had hysterics, and I guessed right,” he

cheerfully answered. “I went out and got Doc Seymour, and he gave you some pills to put you to sleep, or you’d probably be crying yet.... or laughing. I’ll admit that the laughing got my goat.” “Well, don’t you ever dare to throw one drop of water at me ever again, no matter what I do,” Gloria said solemnly, “or I’ll walk right out of this house and never oome back.

IVom the stairway came the tinkle of dishes and the aromatic smell of fresh coffee. Magglp, Mother Gregory’s maid, walked into the room carrying a huge tray! “Here she is! The world’s best cook!” Dick said with a flourish, “Mother has promised to lend Maggie to us for a few weeks, until you get your bearings, Glory.” “Indeed, I wanted to come, Mr. Dick,” Maggie said heartily. “I phoned mother last night that you were ill, and Maggie came over first thing this morning,” Dick explained when the door had closed upon Maggie’s broad back. she sent word that you are worry about her. She says she can get along beautifully, alone, for a few weeks.” It had not occurred to Gloria to worry about Dick’s mother in a maidless house.
