By Beatrice Burton * CHAPTER XXXI G 1 LORI A pulled herself away from him and she put on her hat. From under its wide brim she looked at Wayburn with distress in her eyes. “It was dreadful of me to let you know I noticed your raggedy sleeve, Stan,” she said finally. “But so long ns I have ...” She bit her lip in embarrassment. “Well, go on. What were you going to say?” Wayburn asked impatiently. “Only this . . . you can’t go down to New York in that old suit. You’ve got to have some new clothes,” Gloria answered. “The more prosperous you look the better job you’ll land.” “Nobody knows that any better than I do!” said Wayburn harshly. “But new clothes don’t grow on the bushes, Russet. If they did, I’d have picked off a couple of new suits weeks ago. believe me!” “If I were a man friend of yours, you’d let me lend you some money, wouldn’t you?” Gloria asked. Wayburn nodded. “Well, think of me just as a friend . . . not a woman, then,” Gloria went on. “If I could get hold of some money somewhere, to help you out, would you take it?” “No, it would be out of the question,” Wayburn answered. “No decent man ever borrows from a woman.” Gloria suddenly remembered the day at the tea house when Stan had borrowed five dollars from her, and forgotten to pay it back. She remembered the two $lO bills sne had left in this very room a few weeks before, for him. And she hated herself for remembering. “If you’d promise to let me pay it back with interest, I might consider borrowing a little money from you,” Wayburn surprised her, “just to tide me over until I get my job in New York. . .” Gloria nodded. “All right, Stan,” she said. “I’ll get it for you.” And so the matter was settled.

OR the next week Gloria I H I racked her brain, wondering Li I how she was going to get hold of at least S2OO for Stanley Wayburn. She looked at her engagement ring, her wrist watch, and the little platinum bracelet Dick had given her for Christmas. She wondered how much they would bring if she pawned them. And besides, she hated the thought, of giving up her jewelry. There must be some other way she could get the money. . . Sho was wondering about it one afternoon, as she sat beside Dick. “A penny for your thoughts. Glory,” ho said suddenly. He sat up in bed, and the book that he had been reading tumbled tothe floor. Gloria bent to pick it up. She laid in on the counterpane. Instantly Dick’s arms'were around her. Gloria wrenched herself out of them, and Btood up. •'Don’t do that!” she cried sharply. “Let me alone!" The look of tenderness that had been in Dick’s eyes, was blotted out. Gloria knew that she ha i cut him to the heart when she had snatched herself away from him. But she didn’t care. “Can’t I kiss you any more, Oloty?” Dick asked. “After all, you're my wife you know.” “Yes, but I belong to myself first!” Gloria answered. “And I don’t want to be kissed right this minute, as it happens.” The minute she had said it she was sorry. . . . How could she have been so brutal to Dick when he was still so weak and sick? It was not his fault that she had married him, without being sure of herself. His only crime had been that he loved her too well. “Don’t mind what I say, today. I'm in a fiendish mood, I guess,” she said. She was. She was in a frenzy of worry....wondering how to get the money for Stanley Wayburn. “I’m sorry I was cross, Dick,” she said softly. But the gentleness in her voice only fanned the slow anger in Dick to sudden flame. “There’s something behind all this c ddness of yours. I’m not blind!" v,e flared up. “You can’t make a fool of me!....How about this guy, Wayburn? You still see him, pon't you?" Gloria gasped. At times like this, life with Dick was not lacking in adventure! And Gloria, like all women, thrilled to adventure. She knew how to meet it. It was the breath of life to her! Moreover, Dick as the Male Proper, in a jealous mood, was much easier to deal with than Dick the Model Husband. Gloria understood him.... She had learned all about jealousy from Stanley Way bum! • • * S' —HE went over to Dick and laid her small hand against his L_J mouth. “Hush!” she said. “You mustn't get excited like this. You’ll make yourself sick!.And you know that what you’re saying is crazy nonsense, anyway!” Dick’s sense ached with the longing to take her in his arms. The

warm nearness of her made his head go round. But he clenched his hands at his sides, until the nails bit into his palms. “I’m tired,” he said. “I think I’ll go to sleep for a while. Perhaps you’d better go." And to his relief, Gloria went. Dick heard the door of her room close, and the bolt slide into place. • * * That night Gloria sat for a long time before her mirror. “How long am I going on like this?" she asked her own face, as it glimmered at her from the silver depths of the looking-glass. She couldn’t go on being Dick’s wife! Not while she felt as she did about Stanley Wayburn, at any rate. That much was certain. She found herself facing a problem that women have faced since this world began. She was chained to one man. And she was sure she loved another! What was she going to do about

arm nearness of her made his head Y ,*"

Gloria looked at the letter. It was addressed in Dick’s fine dashing hand to “Miss Susan Briggs,”

it? Wasn’t there some way out of it? There must be! She knew Dick would never let her go without a struggle. Os course, she could always go back to work. But she shuddered at the thought of getting up at seven eveiy morning. of gulping down a cup of coffee, and dashing downtown to hammer her fingers off on a typewriter all day. Ugh, she had had enough of that! It was worse than housework. That wasn’t what she wanted to do. Not by a long chalk! There was a verse pasted on her mirror. Gloria raised her eyes to read it, although she knew it by heart: “Life is but once, Drink the cup, Wear the roses, Live the verses. • • * HAT was Gloria's creed. She I believed In getting all the L—7 1 happiness there was . . . to the last drop! She simply was not going to be harnessed to hard work and dullness If there was any way out! She wanted laughter, dancing, Puzzle a Day There are some numbers which have certain peculiarities. If you subdivide them and add all these divisors you will get exactly twice the number itself. The smallest number of this class is six. Six can be divided by 1,2, 3 and 6. And these divisors and you have twelve or twice six. See if you can discover the next larger number of this kind.

This forms four words running across, “cram,” "role," "opal’’ and “pest”; four words going down, “crop, ’ "rope,” “alas” and "melt,” with the word “coat” running diagonal.y. That was an easy puzzle for a change.

music—the jazz of life. In her mind, Stanley Wayburn stood for those things. When she thought of Dick she thought of meals to be cooked, socks to be darned, bills to be paid, long dull evenings by the living-room fire. He stood for Marriage. . . . And Gloria was sick and tired of married life. “If I’d only known what it was like. I’ll bet a hat I’d still be single!” she said to her face in the glass. It looked back at her with brilliant, unhappy eyes, Gloria was struck again with the fact of her own good looks. Why, she didn’t need any man! Not Dick, or Stan Wayburn, either! ....Her face was her fortune! . Why should she be a household drudge, or an ofllce hack, either? With a face like hers? She could carve out a future for herself... .just as Kit Cameron had! On Broadway. That street of stars! Gloria snapped out her light and went to bed. Against the darkness of her room she seemed to see her name in electric lights above the doors of a theater. .. ."Gloria Gordon Gregory.” Yes, if worse came to worst, she could go on the stage to earn hir own living!... .Kit was in New York. She could show her the ropes! Gloria smiled as she closed her eyes and dropped off to sleep. • • * SHK next morning Dick was not so well. “Something seems to have upset him. He’d better nay in bed all day and rest,” Mrs. O’Hara said to Gloria at breakfast. “This is the day I have my afternoon off duty, too. So perhaps you’d better sit with him this afternoon, Mrs. Gregory.” Gloria had come downstairs hatted to go out. She drained her coffee cup and stood up. "All right, I’ll be home early,” sho answered. “I’m going to run over to Mrs. Seymour’s for a little while.” She found May having breakfast at one end of the dining room table. The morning paper was propped against the coffee pot. And a halfsmoke' 1 cigaret was burning itself away 1 the edge of her plate. “Have a cup of coffee?” May asked. “No, thanks, I’ve just hnd breakfast,’’ Gloria replied. She came to the point at onie. “May, you don’t happen to have any money knocking around that you want to lend to a friend in need, do you?” she asked bluntly. • Muy shook her head in a puzzled sort of way. "Heavens, no, I haven’t one sou to lend anybody," the said. "I’ve just been wondering when they’re going to threw me into jail for debt. . . . What do you need money for?’’

Gloria Is Jealous When Dick Writes a Letter to •Miss Briggs.

Gloria flushed. She bit off h hangnail, nervously, before she answered. She wondered if May divined that she wanted the money for Wayburn. “What does anybody need money for*'" she asked shrugging her shoulders. May sat looking at her with narrowed eyes. j “Give me the low-down on this,” she said at last. “If you just wanted this money for clothes you’d ask Dick for it, I know. What mischief have you been up to?” She broke off suddenly. Gloria’s face was red with anger. “Well, you’re a tine friend!’’ she cried, “i lower my pride to ask you for a loan. And .all you can do is to pry into my affairs instead of lending me a little. You make me sick, May!’* 1 ! !i • • • —,l HAT afternoon when G'orU | I I went Into Dick s room to sit I - I with him, he held a letter out to her. “Would you mind running down to the comer to mail this for me?” he asked.
