Mrs. O'Hara, comes to nurse Dick. In his delirium he calls for Gloria, but pushes her away when she goes to him. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

By Beatrice Burton CHAPTER XXVIII "—> LORI A went downstairs. She put on her hat and coat to go out of doors. She felt that, somehow, she must get away from the sound of Dick's voice moaning “Glory... .Glory,” It kept repeating itself over and over in her ears. Gloria's impulse was always to escape the unpleasant things of life —poverty, hard work and sickness. She hated them with all her soul. With a sigh of relief she opened the front door and went out. Someone was coming up the walk. In the light that streamed out from the hall door Gloria, could see that it was Mother Gregory. Her face was haggard with anxiety. “What in the world has happened?” she asked, as she came up the front steps, Maggie says Ranghild has been phoning for me. I've been at the church guild all afternoon, sewing.” ' “Dick's sick. Dr. John says that cold of his has developed into pneumonia," answered Gloria. She followed her mother-in-law back into the house. Mother Gregory covered her face with- her large capable hands, and began to cry. “Oh, my dear God!” she sobbed. And the very voice of prayer was in her tone. Gloria watched her in surprised silence. She wouldn'* ha’-e believed there was any tenderness or softness in Mother Gregory. She had always thought that the love she had for Dick was the grim kind that a Spartan mother might have had for her son. Presently Mother Gregory dried her eyes and started for the stairs. ** * - r 1 ALFWAY to the first, landing 11—I she stopped and turned. 1* ■H "There's something I’ve been wanting to say to you, Glory, and I may as well say it now,” she said emphatically. “If Dick dies, remember, it’s you who've killed him! He's been all run down from worry for weeks and weeks. Maggie's told me how you've worn him out with your rowdy parties and your late hours! And just the other day he had to come to his father for money to pay for some of your folderols! ....If you had any brains you’d know that worry kills more people than hard work ever does!. .. .It's no wonder to me....” Her voice broke again, and she went on upstairs. Gloria slammed the door behind her and went outdoors. I’ r heart was filled with hate and anger her mother-in-law. She walk*l along the lamp-lit streets thinking of cruel cutting things she might have said to her, if she had only thought of them in time! How she wished she had! The streets were very quiet. Scarcely any one passed. And as Gloria wandered along, a sort of peace stole over her There was a hint of spring in the air. The town. Itself, seemed to be waiting for the caress of a divine hand that would waken buds on the trees and early crocuses in the brown earth. Gloria suddenly wanted someone to whom sh a could go with her trouble—her misery. Not her mother!. . .she had never confided in her mother. Not May Seymour—not Stanley Wayburn, either. They were fair weather friends. There was no sympathy for any one in either of them. That was a cinch! Then Gloria thought of Lola Hough. Shabby, neglected Lola, whom she had hurt and insulted only yesterday. Would Lola forgive her? Gloria knew she would.

And not only would she forgive her. She would probably have comfort and understanding for her, too ... .Lola was like that. Trouble softened people and made them more human. And when it came to trouble, Lola certainly had more than her share. In fact, trouble was about all she did have! * * * IFTEEX minutes later Gloria was ringing the bell of the —J’ld Hough homestead. Lola, herself, came to the door.

She . . . p.okod up the telephone to give May’s number. rs. O'Hara was talking. . . . Gloria listened intently. ie was covered with a big flannel Lola was silent. She measured //- apron. And under one arms tea into the little brown pot on the carried young Teddy Hough. table. Her eyes were thoughtful. • >•?*-p Veil, of all things! It's Glory “Oh, I see!" she exclaimed pres'm just on my way upstairs to "What do you see?” Gloria asked \n/IMff//ffl the babies to bed,” she went “I see why .you come to me with y 1 1[//! J# “Come along and then we can this story,” Lola said. ”1 wondered t '■\T \ I >la seemed to know thct Gloria you're in love with, isn't it?”

She . . . picked up the telephone to give May’s number. 'Mrs. O'Hara was talking. . . . Gloria listened intently.

She was covered with a big flannel bath apron. And under one arms she carried young Teddy Hough. “Well, of all things! It's Glory Gregory!” Lola cried. She smiled. “I'm just on my way upstairs to put the babies to bed,” she went on. “Come along and then we can talk in peace.” Lola seemed to know thct Gloria had come because she was in trouble without being told. Upstairs in the big front bedroom the twins, in righties and red bathrobes. were having bread and milk for their supper. Before the grate fire a bath basin was waiting for young Teddy. On the mantel shelf his bottle of milk stood In readiness. Gloria sank into an armchair covered with clean, faded cretonne. With somber eyes she watched Lola, bathe her baby. “Isn’t he a little old kewpie?” Lola laughed as she took him out of the tub and bundled him into his sleeping-bag. In Gloria’s opinion Teddy was far too fat, but she didn't say so. She knew that, in Lola's eyes, her three babies were beautiful as cherubs. Lola tucked them tenderly into their little beds and turned out the light. “Good-night, baby birds,” she said, softly closing the door. Gloria followed her silently down stairs to the dining room. A cold supper was laid there for one. Sliced corned beef, bread and butter and a bowl of canned peaches. Lola took an extra plate from the china closet. “Stay and have a bite of supper with a lonesome woman.” she begged. “And while I’m boiling the water ( for the tea, you can tell me what’s on your mind. I can see that something’s bothering you.” “Something? .... Everything!” Gloria Cried. “My whole life’s wrong from start to finish, and I’m just beginning to find it out. .. .Lola. I’m married to a man I don't love.” Lola stared at her with wide-eyed astonishment. “You don’t care for Dick?” she asked incredulously, 'why, you must be crazy, Glory! Dick’s the very nicest man I kn0w....” Gloria interrupted her with a harsh laugh. “And not only that.” she said, “bu* the man I do care about doesn’t give a snap of his fingers for me!” “Who’se the man? Anyone 1 know?” Lola asked curiously. “Yes, you know him. But I'm not going to say who he is,” Gloria an swered, stubbornly, “so don’t ask me!”

I Puzzle a Dav f~r |"S __| -j — m mmmm rnm—mJLmmmmmm L_ J_4 • |MIER| I I MOM. J •ATHOS& It is unlawful for a woman to set foot In Athos, Greece, where the monks of the Greek Church live. But as often happens, a young woman disobeyed the law. She saw a monk coming down the path and entered this building to escape notice. She ran In at the Athos door and about five minutes later left by the only other door, back one. This woman claimed later that before she left the building she entered every room once and once only. Was she telling; the truth? Is it possible to enter every room once in this fashion? Last puzzle answer: Otto Kemmerlch swam 11*4 miles during the first four-hour period; 9 miles during the second; 6% miles during the third; 4V4 miles during the fourth; miles during the fifth, and in the last period, which was two hours long, 2>4 miles plus 1 mile, or 3>4 miles. Adding, you find he swam 37 miles in 22 hours, decreasing the first five periods by 2*4 miles each.

Lola was silent. She measured tea into the little brown pot on the table. Her eyes were thoughtful. j “Oh, I see!” she exclaimed presently. “What do you see?" Gloria asked "I see why .you come to me with this story," Lola said. “I wondered why you’d picked me....lt’s Bill you're in love with, isn't it?” Gloria threw back her head and laughed wildly. That Lola should think she was in love with Bill Hough was too funny!... .Couldn’t she see that he was fat and middleaged, and had puffs under his eyes? I ....But that was the way with women who loved their husbands. j They thought everybody else was in j love with them, too! “Bill? Not in a million years!” Gloria answered soberly, ”No, the reason I told you about myself. Lola, is because you have more sense than the rest of the girls I know. And you won’t blab it all over, either. ....And I just had to tell some-| body! What would you do if you J were I?” • + * EOLA pondered. “Well.” she said at hurt, “if I were you. I’d go right home and tell Dick about it. That’s the only square thing for you to do. so far as I can see.” Slowly Gloria shook her lovely j head. Her eyebrows straightened into a frown. “Os course, I can’t do that, with Dick so sick," she mused. "But when he's better, I think I will tell j him—that is, if he gets better.” Lola set her cup down with a clatter. “Do you mean to say Dick’s sick?” ! she asked. She couldn’t believe her J ears. ,"I forgot to tell you he’s down j with pneumonia,” Gloria answered. “That's why I had to get out of the j house . .‘ ~here's } nurse there, and Mother Gregory, besides. And the whole place sounds and smells j like a hospital. Oh, it’s awful!” Lola gasped. For a minute she was speechless. “Well, my advice to you is to get | home as soon as you can!” she j cried, when she had found her voice. ; “The idea of of leaving a sick husband! Suppose Dick wants you and [ you aren’t there? . . . Fbr good- j ness sake. Gloria, don’t sit there! You’ve got to go home right away!” Dully, Gloria ro.se to her feet. “I suppose I must.” she sighed drearily. "But, gosh, how I hate to go back there!” • • • F'l HE next ten days were a | j nightmare to Gloria. Dick I * hovered between life and death. Sometimes he called for her in his delirium. Sometimes it was his mother he wanted. Mother Giegoi-y eftme every morning and sat in the sunroom, knitting or reading her Bible. At meals, she and Mrs. O'Hara told each other all their best stories about operations and unusual diseases. Gloria shivered through these meals. One sunshiny afternoon she made up her mind to ask May Seymour to go for a walk with her. She went out into the hall and picked up the telephone to give May's number. Mrs. O’Hara was talking on the extension, up in Dick’s room. Gloria listened intently. “He'll get well if his heart holds out. But It’s pretty weak,” she heard Mrs. O’Hara say. Then another voice answered her. "Well. I’m at his office. Phone me if anything happens,” it said. | It was Miss Briggs’ voice! She and j her sister were talking about Dick.
