But that doesn’t stop Gloria from seeing Wayburn. Dick is dangerously ill with pneumonia. He <g nursed by Mrs. O'Hara, whose sisters, Susan Briggs, is Dick’s secretary. Toward the end of Dick's illness, Wayburn tells Gloria he is going to New York to get a job on the stage tin re. He needs money. Gloria promises to get $"00 for him. She is left in charge of Dick one day when he asks her to mail a letter for him. It 's sealed and addressed to "Miss Susan Briggs." NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY By Beatrice Burton. CHAPTER XXXII G 1”" ” LiORIA went into her own room after her wraps to go out and mail Dick’s letter. The clay was cold and there was a tiny jet of steam hissing out from the radiator beside her dressing table. It gave Gloria a sudden idea. She picked up the envelope and held it against the little jet of steam. The edges of the gummed flap began to eurl back slowly. ....She would just open that letter and read what was in it! She would find out what Dick was writing to Miss Briggs about! He had no business to be writing to her anyway. Didn’t Miss Briggs telephone him every morning from the office to tell him how things were going there? If he had anything Important, to say to her, why didn't he say it then instead of putting It Into a letter, for goodnes sake?... .Unless it was something that he didn't want anyone to hear. Ah, that must be It? Gloria picked up her nail file from her tray of toilet things. She slipped its sharp point under the loosened flap of the envelope. Then she stood still, looking down at the sedate syllables of Susan Briggs’ name. She was filled with sudden selfdisgust. What a sneaking thing she was doing! Opening another person’s letter! Gloria flung the envelope down on her dresser as if it had been a live coal. She pressed the flap down tight. Then she snatched it up and went back into Dick’s bedroom. “Looky here, Rikky,” she began. "Do you think it’s fair of you to write a letter to Miss Briggs and ask me to mail it for you? Particularly when you give it to me all sealed up for fear 1 might take a peek at It. . . . Her** It is! I’m not going to post it for Vi.it." * * * HE tossed it down onto the covers of Dick’s bed. "As if I care a snap of my fingers what you’ve written to your old Miss Briggs!” she added scornfully. “You flatter yourself!" Dick threw back his head and laughed. "By Jove, I believe you do care, at that!” he said. “I believe you do!” The thought that sue might be jealous of Miss Briggs seemed to please him immensely. He ripped open the envelope. “Here’s the letter I wrote to her, Glory,” he said. "Want to see it?” Gloria took the two sheets of paper that he handed to her. One was a hill for a hat that Gloria had bought two or three weeks before on one of her shopping trips with May. The other sheet was a note to Miss Briggs. Gloria read it with frank curiosity. “Dear Miss Briggs,” it ran. "This bill is okeh. Will you please send a check with it? Sincerely yours, "Richard Gregory.” Gloria looked at it dumbly. "What did you think I was writing to Miss Briggs? A love letter?” Dick asked good-naturedly. "Did you think I was having an affair of the soul with her?” His wife nodded and hung her head. "I'm afraid I did," she said in a shamed undertone. Dick took her hand and held it in one of his. "Well, you need never be afraid of that sort of thing,” he answered her. "I'll never cheat, Gloria. No matter what T do, I'll he honest with you. If ever I find a woman I care for more than I care for you, I'll tell you all about it . . . even before I tell her!" Gloria looked at him thoughtfully with her wide, brown eyes. "You don’t suppose you ever will care for anybody but tne, do you?” she asked, startled. She was surprised to feel the surge of jealousy that swept through her at the thought of Dick ever falling in love with any other woman. "Not a chance in the world,’’ Dick answered. “You know I'll never care a rap about anybody but you. But I'm just telling you that you needn’t worry about letters I write to Miss Briggs or any other woman llvin,

her hands almost as if she were "ringing them. She was terribly cifraid she was going to cry. And she turned away and looked out of the window so that Dick shouldn't see her face.... ♦ * * E’LL never cheat,” he had said to her. What an ugly woj’d ‘■cheat” was! Gloria saw now that she ought to have told Dick how she felt about Stanley Wayburn from the moment when he had kissed her in his dress-ing-room. That would have been the square thing to do! But the whole affair had happened so gradually that she hadn’t realized that it had completely separated her from Dick until it was too late. But was it too late, after all, to put Wayburn out of her life? Couldn’t she forget him and try to be a good wife to Dick? ....After all, what were a few kisses, a few automobile rides with Wayburn? Therh had been no real harm in them—and Stan was going away soon. Gloria stared out into the street, thinly veiled by gray April rain. ‘‘l’ll try to get that money and give it to Stan and then I’ll never see him again. .. .I’ll never think of him again!” she said defiantly. It was as if she disputed something with herself. She put her handkerchief up to her eyes and brushed the welling tears away. ... The telephone buzzed loudly in the quiet room. Gloria glanced at her wrist watch. It was 2:30. And 2 o’clock was the time that she usually met Stan at the corner for a drive or a hike! lie was probably phoning to ask why she had failed him! "Shall I answer the phone, honey?” Dick asked. "No, no! Let me do it!” Gloria rushed across the room like a small whirlwind and took the instrument from his hand. “Hello,” she said nervously. To her relief it was not Stan’s voice that answered. "This is Maggie, ma’am,” the grim voice at the other end of the wire said. "Will you please go up to the Methodist Hospital right away? Dr. Seymour has just taken Mr. Dick’s mother there to operate on her for appendicitis!” * * * Dick's mother! Gloria could scarcely believe her ears. Mother Gregory with her bright eyes and the blown roses in her cheeks, was the last person in the world who looked like a hospital case. ‘Mr. Dick’s father is out of town,” Maggie went on. "And I do think someone of the family should be at the hospital when they operate on poor Mis’ Gregory. . . . Please don’t let Mr. Dick know about it, ma’am. It might kill him the way his heart is, and all!” "Os course, I won’t," Gloria snapped, as she hung up the receiver. But how to keep Dick from know ing about his mother. That was the question. She couldn’t go away and leave him all alone in the house, sick and helpless as he was! And there was no one to stay with him. It was Mrs. O’Hara’s day off.

“Good-by you two,” Gloria said, and was gone.

Would you mind if I phoned Miss Briggs to stay hero with you while Im gone?” Dick considered. “Oh, I can stay here alone, can’t I?” he asked, after a minute’s pause. "There’s no need to bother Miss Briggs.” “That’s nonsense! You can’t stay here by yourself;” Gloria cried. She picked; up the telephone and called Dick’s office number. Miss Briggs’ low, sweet voice answered at once. "Could you leave the office for nn hour or two end come out here 10 the house?” Gloria asked her. “I’ve had some bad news from my mother and I’ve got to leave Mr. Gregory for a little while. It’s jour sister’s day off duty, you know.” "I’ll be there right away,” Miss Briggs answered. Gloria was sure she could hear a note of eagerness in her voice, “Did Miss Briggs say she’d come?” Dick asked. “Did she say she'd come?” Gloria laughed with cutting sarcasm. “Oh, boy, did she! Why you couldn’t keep her awiy with wild horses! Her idea of a perfect time is taking care of you for an afternoon... .You flip it from me. Rikky, she has a real crush on her boss! And don’t you forget it!” “Why don’t you phone mother to come instead?” Dick asked, ignoring Gloria's remarks about Miss Briggs. “I'd rather have her. She hasn’t been hero for an age.” “Oh, she’s not at home today,” Gloria replie i. “I happen to know.” She had a sudden vision of Mother Gregory in the white operating room of the hospital. "I’ve got to hurry!” she said. “Here, put your arms into your bath robe! And let me brush your hair.... I must doll you all up for Miss Briggs!” ♦ • • S - ““| HE straightened the covers of Dick’s bed and laid the ~T, volume of Stevenson’s “Vailima Letters” on his bedside table. “There’s your book,”'she said. “Your darling Susie can sit .hero with her best bedside manners and read it to you all afternoon in her soothing sickroom voice....and you won't miss ycur Gloria a bit!” And again she was surprised at the sharp pang of jealousy* that prickled through her at the thought of Miss Briggs sitting there with Dick all afternoon. “If there’s anything I can do for your mother let me know,” Dick called after her as she went into her own room to dress. His kindness was a reproach in itself. How good he was to her! And she didn’t deserve it! Gloria was ready to go long before the doorbell rang. When at last it d.d, Gloria snatched up her coat and ran downstairs impatiently. “If I’d had any sense I’d have sent a cab for you. Time counts in

She knew that what Gloria meant was that if she had had any sense* she would have hurried to the house in a cab herself! She bit her lip and said nothing. When she opened the dor of Dick's room there was a radiant smile in her ej'es. ”Good-b>", you two,” Gloria said, and was gone. (To Be Continued)
