There she finds Dick i'l, and Miss Briggs urging him to go home in a. taxicab NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Bv Beatrice Burton CHAPTER XXVI. U|. | ET’S stay downtown for dln- ' j I ner,” Gloria proposed euddenly. “ft’s so dull at home. And you and Miss Briggs have been working late. Why don't we ask Her to have a bite with us?” “Gosh, I'm pretty tired. I'd rather go home," Dick answered. "But . . . ask her if you want to." Gloria danced out to Miss Briggs. ‘‘We want you to come out to dinner with us. We’re going to stay downtown,” she said with the petulant sweetness of a spoiled child that will have its own way or know the reason why! “Oh, I can't go—not in this old dress!” Miss Briggs replied, flushing. “And my face is dirty, too.” "Oh fudge! You look lovely," Gloria insisted. She took Miss Briggs’ coat and hat down from the hooks on the wall. “You and I ought to have a chance to get acquainted.” she went on with gay spitefulness. “We Aatdly know each other, and we really should be great friends. After all. we're both interested in the same man, aren’t we?” Miss Briggs didn’t answer. She drew in her breath and gave Gloria a sharp, searching look. Her lips tightened as with pain. Gloria returned her look with Innocent eyes. Rut she had found out what she wanted to know In that second . . . that Miss Briggs was in love with Dick Gregory! Dick came out of his office carrying his hat and overcoat. “Ready?” he asked. Gloria did not notice how sick he looked. “I think so,” she answered. Miss Briggs lowered her eyes. With one hand she braced herself against her desk. “It—it's just lovely of you and Mrs. Gregory to ask me to go to dinner with you,” she said, "but I can’t. I’m not dressed, for one thing. And I promised mother we’d go to the movies tonight... .and, besides, you’re too sick to go anywhere but hone, Mr. Gregory.” She turned to Gloria with distress In her voice. “Really, he’s been sick all day," she said. Dick looked at her gravely. “I'm sorry you can’t go,” he said. "We both are. Perhaps you’ll come with us some other time." Miss Briggs gave him a wistful smile. Her blue eyes were troubled above the sudden flush in her cheeks. It was then that Gloria saw that Miss Briggs had a certain beauty of her own. Nor the beauty of coloring and features, but of Inner warmth and radiance!.... The beauty that,, for lack of a better word, we call “charm." • * * I A IFTER she had gone Gloria 1 /\| turned furiously to Dick. F V | “You know, of course, why she would not go to supper with us. don’t you?” she asked. Her voice v r.s accusing. “She thinks I’m sick....that I ought to be home in bed," Dick answered simply. “Oh, piffle!" Gloria sneered. “The woman’s in love with you. And you know it! She wouldn’t go because she can’t bear to see us together... It pretty nearly killed her a minute ago when you kissed me! I know! I saw her face!.... She’s jealous of me!” “Cut out the movie stuff, Glory," Dick said gruffly. "Miss Briggs has worked for me for years and years. She’s all wrapped up in her job. It’s her lover and her child ....her whole life. She never gives me or any other man a thought!” "Is zat so,” Gloria said babyishly. "I’m glad you think so. . . . Come on, let’s go.” Late that night she lay in bed watching the tossing branches of the trees outside her window.

Puzzle a Day w From the wrecked Shenandoah, near Ava, Ohio, fell these five pieces of eteel. What these triangles were originally used for the finder could not discover. So he cut one in half, fitted the six pieces together, into a perfect square. Then he cemented them upon a. board and painted upon it "Shenandoah, Sept, a, 1925.” This is one of the few relics left in Ava of the fatal accident. Can you make a duplicate? La*t puzzle answer: The baggage man earned more than the clerk fog at the end of the first year he had received S6OO and $625 or $1,225, I*llll6 the clerk received $1,200. In the next year the baggage man go'- $650 and $675 or $1,325, while the clerk got $1,300. In fact, the clerk will always receive $25 less than his friend.

'Wayburn tilled two glasses and gave one to Gloria. “Here’s how!” he said. She was thinking of love . . that maze where all of us wander and get lost, searching everywhere for the one person who was meant for us. . . . She thought of Dick, who loved her. And of Miss Briggs, who loved Dick. She wondered if Dick knew that his secretary cared for him. Gloria was sure he must know it. Why, anyone could see it, from the very way that Miss Briggs looked at him the tones of ner voice when she spoke to him! . . . Gloria raised herself on one elbow, and spoke into the darkness of the bedroom. "Dick,” she said, "why do you call Miss Briggs ‘Susy’ when you’re alone with her, and ‘Miss Briggs' When I’m around? . . . Dick, why do you?" There was no answer. Dick was asleep. • * • Irp 1 IE next afternoon while Gloria I was dressing to meet Way- *— J burn and go riding with him, the telephone buzzed. It was Stan himself. "Our drive's called off,” he said. Gloria’s heart, that had been soaring like a lark, sank. "Why?" she asked. Was he going somewhere with Myra Gail? “Because you’re coming here ini stead” Stan answered. "To my li’l ol’ family hptel. Suite 208. And hurry along!” “Well, I like that!” Gloria said to herself indignantly, after she had hung up the receiver. “Calls me up and tells me what I’m to do! What I’m not to do! Who does ne think he is....the kaiser?” The little family hotel where Wayburn lived was old and shabby. There was a musty'smell in the halls as Gloria walked through them to Stan’s suite . . a smell of dusty carpi t, boiled cabbage and cheap perfume. \ She tapped on the painted panels of his door .... He opened it with a flourish. • * 8 |\ V ’r| ILL you walk into my yy parlor, said the spider J tc the fly,'" he quoted. His voice was curiously thick. “Stan, have you been drinking?” Gloria asked. "You should ask! You who only last night presented me with the most wunnerful bottle o’ brandy ever drunk!” he said cheerfully. Her eyes searched the room. There were several bottles and a plate of dry, hard sandwiches on a table in the center of it. “Been drowning all my troubles," Stan explained weakly. “If you drank all that, you must have a million troubles," she answered. Stan shook his head. “Only one," he said. "Only one trouble in the whole wide world!” Gloria was sure that he meant her . . . that she was the one thing that troubled him. "And what is that?” she asked deStan?” She gave him her hands and sat down beside the table with its bottles and glasses. "Money!” Wsyburn said unexpectedly. “Money!” Gloria was silent.

THE FLAPPER WIFE

■ "Here, I am out of a job," the actor went on, dejectedly. ‘'No prospect of getting another one, very soon! Fur overcoat In pawn! Watch in pawn! Landlady raising old Harry about not getting her rent. . . . I sure am In one tight pluce!” He took his silver clgaret case from his pocket and held it out to her. “Smoke?’’ he asked. "No, thanks," Gloria shook her head. "But look here, Stan, let me lend you some money on this clgaret case! We're old friends, you and I." Wayburn did not look at her while she took two $lO bills ... all the money she happened to have . . . from her bag and laid them under the sandwich plate-pn’the table. Then ho put his cigaret case back into his coat pocket. "Gloria,” he said Anally, "you shame me with your kindness.” Wayburn Ailed two glasses and gave one to Gloria. "Herfs how!" he said. • • • | C IHE did not look at him. Her IU I ®y es traveled slowly around L—J the garish walls of Wayburn’s sitting room. There were dozens of women's photographs on them . . . women who looked like actresses. Women who did not look like actresses. Pretty women. Women who smiled. Women who pouted adorably . . . All of them hateful to her, because they had cared for Wayburn! And she, herself? Was she just one more pretty girl for Wayburn’s collection? Suddenly Gloria felt as if she were not in the room alone with Wayburn. She felt as if all of these women were there, too, looking at her ... as Bluebeard's dead wives looked down at the living one who came to the Chamber 'of Horrors! And she felt ashamed .. . ashamed of visiting Wayburn in his rooms! Secretly! Love shouldn’t be like this! Hidden, furtive, and ashamed! Why, love should be like the sunrise! She stood up. "I’m going," sne cried. And before the befuddled Wayburn knew what she was doing, she had slammed the door behind her and was gone. She began to sob as she drove 1 home through the early spring twilight. She made up her mind never to see Stanley~Wayburn again, so long as she lived! She would forget him! . . . Let some other woman have him . . . someone of the women whose faces plastered the walls of his room! How she hated and loathed those women! * * • Ranghild met her at the door of the house, with a frightened face. "Mr. Gregory came home, sick, about an hour ago. His secretary brought him in a cab," she whispered.

Wayburn Tells Gloria That His Biggest Worry Is Lack of Money.

G* - - "| LOR IA ran upstairs. Dick stretched out on his > bed, fully dressed. His wife touched his closed eyelids and his forehead with her hand. They were burning hot. His breath came In short, quick gasps. “Dick!" Gloria cried. She was filled with a sudden fear. Sickness had always terrified her.

She had never forgotten one night in her early childhood, when her only brother had died a few hours after his birth. She could still remember her mother's terrible cries, heard through the thin walls of the little house.... “Diek!" she called again. This time he moved, hut he did not open his eyes. In a panic she ran downstairs to the hall. Ranghild stood there wring ing her hands in her apron. "Now. don't get excited,” Gloria said with a shaking voice. She was so excited herself that she could hardly take the telephone receiver from its hook. She called Dr. John, and asked him to come to Dick at once. Then she turned to Ranghild with narrowed eyes. "You said Miss Briggs brought Mr. Gregory home," she asked. “Did she help you get him upstairs, or did she leave right away?” (To Be Continued)
