GLORIA
THE STOKY SO I'.YH Gloria Gordon, beautiful flapper, marries Dick Gregory, strugslingyounr lawyer. Her idea of ciarriaere is srood times, rood clothes . . . and no work Or children 1 Dick borrows liis mother's maid, Mftffle, to teach Gloria to oook. B’lt siir refuses to learn. Dick has an attaok of flu, While he Is working: at home with MiBB Brljfg-s, his secretary. Gloria plans a house-warming:. She asks Stanley Wayburn, an actor with whom she was once in love, to be one of the guests. He accepts. When Dick meets Wayburn he is instantly .jealous, although the actor devotes himself to Mrs. Gall. Glory drinks too much, and faints away while dancing with Dr. John Seymour, whose wife. May. is in love with Jim Carewe. The party breaks up when Lola Hough scolds Bill, her husband, for petting. Maggie, disgusted. units her job and returns to mother Gregory. Then Glory hires Ranghild Swanson, allthough Dick tells her they can t afford a maid. And she buys 8409 worth of clothes besides 1 Then she begs Dick to buy her an automobile. He says he hasn't enough money to do it. By Beatrice Burton CHAPTER XY mF 1 sell my own car, I’ll make enough on the sale to pay down something on the new one for you,” Dick said. “I don't suppose I really need that old speedster of mine. It would probably do me good to walk to the office once in a while.” "You do look pale, Dick,” Glory said, "and I’m not saying that just because I want you to sell your car. ....You really don’t look well.” But as the days went by Glory thought that Dick had forgotten all about the little blue car. On the morning of her twentyfirst birthday Dick was gone when she opened her eyes, after a night of deep, dreamless sleep. "Did Mr. Gregory take his car this morning?” she asked Ranghild when she brought up her breakfast tray. “He did, ma’am,” Ranghild answered. “And an hour ago a man drove anew car into our driveway. It’s standing there, now.” Glory leaped from bed. She ran downstairs in her bare feet and looked out of the sunroom window. There it was, with the sunshine striking Its polished sides....her little blue Winged Victory! Her very own! Glory thrilled with happiness as she stood looking at it. While she was dressing the telephone rang. “This is Miss Briggs speaking, - ’ came a cool, low voice over the wire. “Mr. Gregory asked me to tell you that an Instructor would be out about 12 to tea-h you to drive the new automobile.” "Thanks,” Glory said shortly. She hung up the receiver with a bang. What right had Dick to give Miss Briggs a message like that for her? Why should Miss Briggs hove to know that she didn’t know how to run an automobile . . . that her family had never owned one? And why hadn’t Dick telephoned, himself, to wish her a happy birthday? , . . There had been a time only a, few short weeks ago when he had called her up three or four times a day just to hear the sound of her voice. Oh, well, that was the way marriage changed a man! As soon as he had you, he stopped caring for you . . . evidently. Or, at any rate, he didn’t care half so much for you as he had. * * *. HE demonstrator arrived a little before 12 and drove ■■■ Glory to Riverside Park. As they bowled along he explained the mechanism of the car to her. Around and around the park they drove. And at last he let Glory take the wheel for a few minutes. "Tomorrow I’ll be out at the same time and I’ll let you drive,” the demonstrator told Glory, as they drove back to the house. He jotted down some Instructions for Gloria. After he had gone Gloria stood on the front steps. It was only 3 o'clock. She hadn’t seen her mother for more than a week. She decided to walk the long mile to her old home. Mrs. Gordon saw Glory coming up the street, from her arm chair in the bay window. She came out on the porch to welcome her. "Well. I thought you had forgot-

ten that you had a mother, dearie,” she said, her eyes shining with tears, her lips smiling. With arms linked they went into the house. “Well, I've had the busiest time of my whole life so far," Glory explained. "First of all. I gave a housewarming and then I spent a whole day shopping, and I've been picking out anew automobile!.... And today I got it. Dick gave it to me for a birthday present You forgot that today was my birthday, didn’t you, motherkin?" Mrs. Gordon bridled. "Indeed I did not!’ she said. “I called up this morning to ask you and Dick to come here for supper tonight. The maid said you were still asleep. Then I called again a few minutes ago, and she said you were 0ut....8ut I went right ahead and baked your birthday cake, anyway.” She led Glory out into the little kitchen that was more like a sittliig room than anything else. There was a rocking chair with a red calico cushion in one corner, and the table was set ready for a meal. The family always ate breakfast there. Glory went into the dark pantry. On the shelf was ft brown crock, half filled with baked beans. "Yum, yum. my favorite food!” Glory smacked her lips greedily. Mrs. Gordon took a plate out of the cupboard. She put a large helping of beans on it, and a slice of cold roast beef. “There, dearie, while you’re eating that, I’ll call up Dick and ask him to come here to supper,” Mrs. Gordon said. In a few minutes she came back Into the kitchen. "All right, he’s coming,” she told Glory. “Now I’ll sit right down here and peel these potatoes, while you finish your snack." "You don't seem a bit excited about my having an automobile, Mother, Glory complained. “I thought you’d be tickled to death.’’ “Well, T am,” her mother said placidly, “but I’m getting used to seeing you get everything you want, Glory, since you married Dick. After you came home with that new fur coat I was ready for anything. I could see then that Dick was going to spoil you ... by giving you everything that you wanted, or thought you wanted. You’re a lucky woman, Glory. I/e's a man In a mil lion.” * * * *| LORY laughed knowingly. “He is not!” she said. It's like pulling teeth to make him spend a nickel! . . . But I’ve Just told him that if he wants me to live with him he’s got to come across with the things that other men give their wives!” "Gloria Gordon! That’s a terrible way to talk!” her mother said in a shocked voice. "And you only married a few weeks!” “What has that to do with it?” Glory asked, folding her napkin. “I m going to start out the right way. Dick's got to know right from the beginning that he can't make a dishmop of me. Hook at yourself, Mother! All your life you've worked your fingers to the bone for Dad and what have you got out*of it? Not a thing that I can see!” Mrs. Gordon peeled potatoes silently, for a. few minutes. “Well, you may not be able to see it, but I have a lot of happiness, Gloria,” she said quietly. “Your Dad and I get along pretty well, together. T care more for him today, when he’s old and broken-down, than I ever did before in my life, I guess. . . . And we’re contented, owning this little house of ours. It's paid for, at last, after thirteen years!” Glory shook her head- Her mother was beyond her comprehension. She had so little, and yet she was happy. Anyone could see that she was happy . . . with the smile that always lurked In her spectacled blue eyes, and the upward twist of her humorous mouth. “I’ll go out and buy some flowers for your table tonight,” Glory said. “You needn’t,” Mrs. Gordon answered. “I've nine geraniums in bloom in the front windows. You can go and cut the blossoms from them if you will, for me. . . . And I’ve bought little red candles to go on the cake.” Glory went into the dining room to set the table. The side-board drawers were filled with snowy linen. Much of It was darned but the mended places looked

like bits of embroidery done by some expert needlewoman ... as, indeed, her mother was. • • • At - T six o’clock Glory heard footsteps on the front porch. She ran to open the door for her father. He held her away from him, and looked at her. "Well, my fine lady!” he said, proudly. “Your old Dad never thought he'd have a princess like this!” A lump rose in Glory’s throat. He was so little and old . . . her Dad! His w-hole life had been a disappoint ment. He had spent years writing a history of the world. And after he had finished it no one would publish it. There were two or three hat boxes jp In the attic filled with the manuscript of that lifework that no one would ever see. . . . And now he was working for a printer far down on Capitol Ave. for a tiny salary. As they stood there under the gaslight in the hall, Dick rang the front doorbell. Mr. Gordon let him In. “How do you do, sir?” asked Dick, towering above the old man. "How’s business, these days, with you?” “Fine as silk,” answered Glory's father, as he helped Dick off with his coat. That had been his answer, always. He and his business .. . everything about him . . . were always “flno as silk.” He would have no one's sympathy, and no one’s pity. He was as proud as Lucifer. Mrs. Gordon bustled In. “We can sit right down to supper as soon as I make the gravy,” she said, when she had kissed Dick. ”Glory > you light your birthday candles, please.” Dick followed his wife into the dining room. “Did you like your car?” he asked. "Adored it,’’ Glory answered, throwing her arms around his neck. "But why didn’t you call me up to tell me the instructor was coming, instead of letting Miss Briggs know all your business?” "She knows it all, anyway,” Dick replied. "A man’s secretary has to know his business... .And she’s a regular clam, anyway. Never opens her mouth to a soul!” “Did you have to sell your old car?” Glory asked. “R&nghlld said you drove away in it this morning.” “Sure I sold it,” Dick answered. Where did you think I got the noney for the payment on your car .. .stole It?” “Well, I though you might have used the money for my car Instead of buying that old telephone stock,” she said. Dick put a warning finger to his Ups. The kitchen door opened and Mrs. Gordan came into the room with a tray of soup-plates. * * * t A I FTER dinner, Glory's father A got up from the table and went upstairs. Presently he came down with a dusty bottle in his hands. “Port wine,” he said, looking at Dick. "I’ve had that bottle put away for fifteen years. Shall we drink the bride's health....or her birthday, I should say?” “This, I suppose,” Dick said, be-

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
RATESCHEDULE BATTLE STARTS NEXT TUESDAY Farmers and Railroad Companies to Settle Dispute. B" United Frees CHICAGO, Sept. s.—Seventy-three western railroads have agreed to ‘‘split the difference” with the farmer in the matter of rate schedules. Instead of demanding freight rate increases averaging 11 per cent, as originally planned, the roads which haul the western shippers’ products to market, have united in an application for Increases averaging only 5 per cent. This would increase the annual freight revenue $83,500,000. But the farmer, shying at any change which will add to his annual freight bill. Is prepared to protest this application as vigorously as he prepared to protest the original and higher one. The fight will be taken up here beginning next Tuesday In a special hearing before the Interstate commerce commission. The grounds for the higher rate application as outlined In briefs prepared for presentation before the commission include these contentions of the roads: 1. That they are warranted In view of the prevailing price levels of western products. 2. That because of competition of the Panama Canal, less freight is being shipped through the midwest than at any time in recent years. 3. That the roads are not earning a fair return on their property investments. The American Farm Bureau Federation and numerous western

If the application for the 6 per cent Increase is successful, Charles Evans Hughes, attorney for the Chicago, Milwaukee A Bt. Paul receivers, Is expected to proposed that the receipts of the higher rates be pooled and distributed so that the less profitable roads may bring their annual return up to the standard 6% per cent. This plan of "cooperative profiting” Is said to be vigorously opposed by the roads that have been making satisfactory profits during the last five years.
