THE STORY SO FAR: Gloria Gordon beautiful flapper, marries Dick Gregory, a struggling lawyer. Per idea of marriage is fun and fine clothes . . . but no work or children! Dick borrows Maggie, his mother's maid, to teach Glory to cook. But she refuses to learn. The young Gregorys give a housevanning. Among the guests is Stanley Wayburn. an actor with whom Glory ouee was in love. The “wild” party breaks up when Lola Hough scolds Bill, her husband, for petting. Maggie . disgusted, quits her job Gloria hires Ranghild Swanson to take her place, although Dick tells her they can’t afford a maid. Then she buys hundreds of , dollars’ worth of clothes, and insists upon anew car for herself. Gloria and Wayburn go joy-riding in the car, and are seen by mother Gregory. Next dav Glory invites Wayburn, May Seymour, wife of Dr. John Seymour, and May’s admirer. Jim Carewe, to the. house. Dick returns unexpectlv. He puts the guests out. Because of her affair with Carewe, May is voted out of the Home Women's Club. Utterly crushed, she gives up Carewe. Gloria goes to see Wayburn in his room.--, and returns to find that Dick has been brought home ill, by Miss Briggs, his secretary.
By Beatrice Burl on CHAPTER XXVII LORIA was furious with Miss Briggs for bringing Hick i___J home. He could have come alone in his taxi, just as well as not! . . . But, no, she,must be a ministering angel to Dick! That was her pose, Glory thought angrily. . . . Why couldn’t these secretaries realize that their jobs began and ended in the office ’ Gloria, herself, had never been interested in her employers when she had worked, except as employers. She was sure of that! “Miss Briggs didn't come into the | house,” Ranghild said. “She paid the taxi driver and went away. He and I got Mr. Gregory upstairs, and put him on his bed. . . . Oh, ma’am, what do you think is the matter with him?’’ Ranghild was almost in tears. “Oh, nothing much, but the flu,” Gloria answered. “He’s had it twice this winter . . . and he gits right ever it. He’ll be all right in a day or two.” “I tried to telephone you all over town," the maid went on. “I phoned Mrs. Seymour, and Mrs, Gail and Mrs. Hough, and Mr. Gregory's mother . . .’’ “Don’t ever do it again!” Gloria cried shaply. “I'm usually down town shopping, so it’s no use trying to get me by phone, anyway. . . . Let’s go up and try to get Mr. Gregory into bed before the doctor comes.” They were unlacing Dick's shoes when Dr. John arrived. Deftly as a nurse, he undressed Dick and put him into bed. lie took out his stethoscope and listened to Dick's back and chest. Then he gravely nodded his head as he timed Dick’s pulse. “Just what I told him he'd have if he didn’t take better care of himself,” he remarked dryly. “It’s pneumonia. I think I'd better telephone Mrs. O'Hara right away. - She's the best pneumonia nurse in this town.” Gloria stood like a statue in the middle of the room. In a dream. ... a nightmare. .. .she heard Dr. John call Mrs. O’Hara, and send a taxicab for her. She listened to him ordering things frojn the drug store... .camphorated oil, cotton, brandy. And all at once, it was brought home to Gloria why it was that Dr. John couldn’t go with May to all the parties and dances. Teople needed him, as Dick needed him now! Their very lives depended on his not going to parties with his fun-loving wife....on his sticking to his job! * * * f” 1 LORY ht and never thought of it IV 1 1 wa V before. She I always pitied May, because she was a doctor’s wife. Well, she still pitied her, and yet—- “ Now, then, Glory, the best thing you can do is to move all your things out of this room! And I want you to stay out, yourself!” Dr. John said briskly. Glory gave a nervous little laugh. “No need to gsk me to stay out of this room,” she said. “I’m frightened to death of sick people.” Her eyes were wide with fear. “What makes him breathe like that?” she asked. She had been watching the quick rise and fall of Dick’s chest under the bed clothes.

And when she spoke, her ! voice was, too, Gloria was sure she! had met her somewhere, l>efore. “How do you do? I'm Mrs. O'Hara," she said, as she cpme up ' the front steps.” I feel almost as if j I If now you, Mrs. Gregory. My j sister, Sue Briggs, has worked for : your husband for a good many 1 years.” Miss Briggs’ sister! This woman! j . . . That was why she had looked so familiar to 'Gloria! She I had the same shadowy blue eyes j and delicate features. Her voice I was as low and sweet as Miss i Briggs' own lovely voice. “Dr. Seymour is waiting for you." Without another word, the nurss disappeared around the turn at the stair-landing. * * * G r ~~~“ LORJA went out into the bright kitchen. Ranghild, in her black dress, stood at the sink washing lettuce loaves in a colander. “Will you have dinner at the usual time?” she asked ehokily. Her eyes were red-trimmed. Without warning she began to cry, covering her face with her wet | hands. Gloria stared at her. j “What in the world is the matter with you?” she asked. “You’ve just | got to get hold of yourself, Rang- I hild! Mr. Gregory's not dead yet. you know!” “Oh, I know that pneumonia! My man, he died of it five winters ago in Sweden ...” Ranghild sobbed. She took a handkerchief from her apron pocket and wiped her swollen eyelids. “That's how T happened to come j ito this country. I couldn’t hoar to ‘ I stay at home without my Henrik. Everything made me think of him ' | • • • the pine woods Where we went ; ! for picnics, the light from the blast ; furnaces where lie worked . . .. . j Shall we have the potatoes baked or I mashed for dinner, tonight.

She I could that Mrs. Gregory was not * interested in her story. “I didn't know you were a widow, Ranghild,” Gloria said. “And bake the potatoes, please.” She went hack into the living-room and picked up a fashion magazine. “Mrs. Gregory!” came Mrs. O'Hara's voice from the stairway. Gloria went out into the hall. The nurse had changed into her white uniform and cap. She was bending over the bannisters. “Your husband is calling for you," she said softly. "I thought he was delirious. He didn’t know anything a while ago,” Gloria answered. She did not want to go upstairs to Dick. She hated the thought of seeing him breathe in that terrible, hurrying way. It frightened her. The look of his face had frightened her this afternoon . . . the skin flushed, the eye bright with fever. No, she was not going to go upstairs
Puzzle a Day
All the champion swimmers seem to be trying for long distance records (probabl yto save the fare). Otto Kemmerich, famous German swimmer, swam thirty-seven miles in 22 hours.' The first four hours he swam the greatest distance, slowing up his speed the same amount with each succeeding four hours, until the last two hours, v hen he swam one mile more than in. the previous four hours. What distance did he travel in each of the six periods? Last puzzle answer: \ KSHEMANOpAfT 'X X XPS Va L^ 2s \ Cut one triangle in half along the dotted line. Then place as shown above.

"He made me take .all my things out of it. even. ' Mrs. O'Hara smiled gently. "Dr. Seymour is still upstairs. He told me to call you himself,” she said. With slow, reluctant feet Gloria went upstairs. • * * F" 1 "1 ROM behind the closed door of Dick’s room she rould hear a low. moaning sound. It was not like rack's voice. And yet it was his voice.

You don't know what you’re asking of me She darted across the hall and into the guestroom, closing the door behind her. She threw herself down on the blue silk cover of the bed. and covered her ears with her hands to shut out the sound of Dick’s moaning. But she heard it anyway. It went cn nnd on In her brain . . . “Glory . . . Glory . , . Glory . . ." At last she got up and tapped on the door of the sick room. Mrs. O'Hara opened it at once.

She had beer, so busy living life that she had forgotten all about the Giver of Life! She went lightly to the side of Dick's bed, and took his hot, dry hand in iters. At her touch Dick stirred. He half opened his eyes. •■Rikky-Tikky-T&vy,” she said, calling him the foolish little pet nanto that no one but herself ever used for him. He closed his eyes. A feeling of pity swept over Gloria. Dick seemed so alone in his pain—in his struggle to live. Had she ever really given him ary comradeship? Any happiness? She wondered. Os course, she had . . . she told herself. She had been his wife. He hail had her kisses, hadn’t he? He had held her in his arms . . . and what else was there to love but lovemaking? . . . Dimly, Gloria knew that there was something else in Dick's love for her. But what was it? Unselfishness, perhaps. The sick hian moved again. He was trying to say something. Glory bent her head to listen. “Glory,” Dick moaned. “Here I am.” Glory whispered. “Right here, Dick. Right here beside you . , Khe stroked his forehead. He put up both his hands and thrust her away. “I want Glory," he moaned again. Glory rose and turned away from the bed.

He came upon several men who were eagerly watching one man In their midst who had a small board mounted on three legs, on which he was moving three halves of English walnut shells. The man placed a shell over a pea, mixed up the shells and then asked the bystanders to guess under which shell the pea was. One man offered to bet he knew. He won, and pocketed the money, came over to Worrell and said: "See how easy it is?" Worrell nodded, and, pulling out his $44, wagered he could pick out the right shell, too. He didn’t.

MR. FIXIT GETS COMPLAINT ON BOYS 9 PASTIME Youths Said to Be Stuffing Boards in Sewers.
Do You Know? Harry Newby is in charge of one of the most modern establishments in the country, the new municipal garage, across Alabama St. from the city hall.
If Mr. Fixtt can assist you in crashing the municipal gate to obtain needed repairs, send him a letter He is The Indianapolis Times representative at the city hall. Write him at The Times. Weary of drug- store corners and ukelele sonatas, the young- b*loods have discovered anew pastime, Mr. Fixit learned today. The latest sport is to stuff boards in sewers. DEAR MR. FLXIT—Boys will be boys, so some of them have stuffed boards down the sewer on the northwest corner of Forty-First St. and B.vram Ave., and when it rains we have a lake a preaching the size of Shank. Perhaps you can lend us a hand toward having it fixed. G. V. POLISTER. Walter Monroe, who knows the ins and outs of the underworld, will drain the lake. Os they don’t quit shooting three-barreled ones at Mr. Fixit, he’ll be a wreck. Here’s tough one: DEAR MR. FIXIT: Here are three problems upon which your help will be gratefully appreciated. Just east of Linwood Ave., on both sides of E. Michigan St., are vacant lots which are higher than the sidewalk. Rains have washed sand and mud down on the sidewalk to such an extent that the walk is entirely covered with mud for several yards. Children going to School 58 near by cannot keep out of the mud except by walking in the street, which is dangerous. E. Michigan St. from Sherman Dr. to Emerson Ave. is paved only for about eight feet next to the curb on either side, Just wide enough to park automobiles and delivery trucks so that traffic must take to the center of the street, where the street car company has a single track with no paving. The street Is full of holes and driving is not only trying hut dangerous. There is a spot and go signal at E. Washington St. and State Ave. It would help to keep traffic moving and thus relieve congestion down town if there could he a safety zone for street cars at that corner to that motorists would not he obliged to wait while passengers get off or on with thflb go' signah clear. HOPEFUL. Harry Stevens, of the department of Improved streets, promised relief from muddy sidewalks early next week. The ltoard of works at Mr. Fixit's request, ordered the Indlannpolls Street Railway Company to undertake the repairs to E. Michigan St. at once. Sergeant Mary Moore of the police accident prevention bureau promised an immediate count of traffic at E. Washington and State Ave., and an' early report to the board of safety concerning the need for a safety zone. Here’s good news for E. Thirtieth St. DEAR MR. FIXIT—Would like to know the result of the conference hetween city and county officials In
