THE STORY SO FAR Gloria Gordon, beautiful flapper, marries Dick Gregory. a struggling lawyer. Her idea of marrige is fun and fine clothes, but no work or children Dick borrows Maggie, his mother's maid, to teach Gloria to cook. But ■he refuses to learn. Later Maggie leaves, disgusted with Gloria’s "jazzy" way of living. Then Gloria hires Hanghlld Swanson, although Dick tells her they can’t afford a maid. She swamps Dick with debts for new Clothes, and anew automobile. Gloria goes riding in it with Stanley Wayburn. an actor. They are seen by Mother Gregory, who begs Gloria to mend her ways. Gloria pays no attention to what she says. She promises to lend S2OO to Wayburn. who expects to go to New York to get a Job. Nor does she profit by the example of her friend. May Seymour, wife of Dr. John Seymour, who is snubbed everywhere because of her foolish love affair with Jim Carewe. ' Dick becomes dangerously ill with pneumonia. He is nursed by Mrs. O'Hara, whose sister Susan Briggs, is Dick’s secretary. Dick recovers and one day while Gloria 18 alone in ihe house with him he attempts to kiss her. She repulses him. Word comes that Mother Gregory has been rushed to the hospital for an appendicitis operation. Gloria sends Tor Miss Briggn to stay with Dick while she goes to the hospital. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY By Beatrice Burton CHAPTER XXXIII G 1 LORIA ran out to the parage and started the little blue u—roadster. Two minutes later it was skimming Coe. shining wet pavements on th* to the hospital. Gloria’s heart beat fast as she neared the street corner that had become the favorite meeting place Os herself and Stanley Wayburn. ... .Yes! There he was! Standing in the misty rain, smoking his everlasting clgaref He swept off his hat as Gloria headed her car in toward the curb, and stood bare-headed in the rain. “For the love of Mike, put on your hat! Do you want to catch your death o’ dampness?" Gloria asked, opening the door of the car. “Jump in, and be quick about it!” “If I’m going to catch cold, I’ve caught it now. You’ve kept me waiting there In th 6 rain for almost an h0ur....d0 you know it?” Stan asked. He settled into his seat and shook the raindrops from his pearlgray hat. “I wasn’t coming today at all,” Gloria said. "You weren’t coming?” Stan repeated. There was surprise in his voice. Gloria shook her head. "No,” she answered. “But they telephoned to say that I’d better go right over to the hospital. Mother Gregory’s there to be operated on for appendicitis... .1 must hurry!” She pressed her foot down on the accelerator, and the little car shot forward eagerly. "I asked you to ride with me so I could tell you why I made up my mind not to meet you today,” Gloria went on bravely. “This is the last time I’m ever going to see you ntR talk to you.” Stan opened the door of the car and tossed out his half-smoked ciga ret. “What's the big idea, Russet?” he asked, laying his arm along the back of the seat. Gloria leaned forward, away from it. “You see. it’s this way....l’ve been thinking a lot about Dick and you and me lately,” Gloria tried to explain. “I knew I couldn’t go on living in the same house with him so long as I was thinking about you all the time... .seeing you every day. “Last night I made up nay mind to leave go to New York to get a job on the stage... .but today when I looked at Dick I saw how much he needs me. Why, he’s crazy about me, Stan! It would kill him if I went away from him! So I’ve made up my mind to put you right out of my thoughts and be a good wife to Dick from new on. I owe it to him....” • • • TTjrn AYBURN interrupted Her \]y with an easy laugh. _L_J “You can’t put me out of your thoughts, Russet,” he said. “You can chuck me out of your life ....but you’ll go on thinking about me just the same. I know women!” “Oh, I know you know all about women!” Gloria answered bitterly. ‘And two weeks after you’ve left — you’ll have forgotten all about me. You’ll have a dozen new sweeties. But Dick’s not like you. Stan I’m the only woman in the world

Gloria knelt down and put her ear to the crack of the door. She held her breath and listened. for him. That’s why I’ve got to stick.” She slowed down the car and drove up before the hospital where Dr. Seymour had taken Mother Gregory. “Aren’t you making a mountain out of a molehill, Russet?” Stan asked, lighting a fresh cigaret. “I haven't hurt you. I haven’t asked you to leave your husband for me. Our friendship’s been just a flame where I could warm my heart....” “Oh, cut the poetry!” Gloria cried impatiently. “You know just as well as I do that we had no business ever seeing each other. There’s no such thing as a harmless friendship between a married woman and a single man! N> woman has enough room in ner life for two men!” “Well, don’t get sore, at me about it!” Wayburn defended himself. “It’s not my fault that you’re unhappy with your husband.” Gloria opened her eyes with surprise. “Well, if that isn’t just like a man!" she exeyaimed indignantly. “All you’ve done for the last three months is to follow me around and make love to me at every turn! And then you have the nerve to tell uis it isn’t your fault that I’m unhapnv with Dick?.... Why didn't you lot m ealone? I was contented enough until you came back to town.” Waybum’s lip curled In contemptuous amusement. “I did let, you alone, Russet,” he said. “It was you who came to the theater to hunt me up, if you *ememlier....l knew what ailed you. You were bored with married life. You wanted something more exciting. more jazzy. You ivantad a love affair with me. Now, be honest with yourselfl Didn’t you?” * * * Hf “133 leaned forward and took Gloria's gloved hands in his. J “You’re just a peppy young Flapper, who got married too soon,” he said. “You’ll settle down after a while and be a fine wife. You’ll for get you ever knew me.” “Is that what you want me to do?" Gloria asked. “Now that you’re leaving town you’re perfectly contented not to see me again, aren't you? You want me noc to bother you any morc # don’t you? You're tired of me.” "I’m not going for two weeks or more,” Wayburn answered. “In the meantime I want to see you just as often as you’ll let me see you, Russet And let’s not quarrel any more... .What’s the use?” Gloria opened the door of the au tomobile and slipped out of it. Years afterward, when Stanley Wayburn thought of her, he saw her as she was now....her eyes full of unshed tears, her soft mouth trem bling. "I won’t see you again,” she said briefly. “Goodby, Stan.” Wayburn watched her run up the front gteps of the hospital, and disappear within Its swinging doors. “Along about day after tomorrow, she’ll be calling me up again,” he said comfortably to himself. “I know Women.” He turned down the brim of his

Puzzle a Day

Four spiritualists from the camp at Chesterfield, Ind., I had each collected the same number of "spirit” pictures. In order to secure some new recruits for their camp they decided to give 1-20 part of the total to each of the ten strangers.

hat, turned up the collar of his coat, and went away through the slanting gray rain, whistling "My Flapper Wife." • * • SHE combine,d smell of ether and carbolic acid made Gloria a little faint and dizzy as she walked through the hospital. A fresh-clieeked nurse led her to a bare little room at the end of a long hall on the third floor. "As soon as they bring Mrs. Gregory down from the operating room, I’ll let you know,” she said, and went away. There was a pile of magazines on a fumed-oak table in the middle of the room. Gloria picked one up, and settled down with it, in an uncomfortable wicker rock'ng chair. She turned the pages idly, Then she took off her hat and tossed it onto the table. She leaned lack against the chair and went to sleep. She was awakened by the clatter of dishes and silver. ""Outside the door of the waiting-room was a large cart, laden with trays of food for the patients. • Gloria glanced at her wrist-watch. It was five-thiry. Surely it must be time for them to be bringing Mother Gregory back from the operating room. At laat, Gloria got up and walked out into the hall. A few ycards away from where she stood was another cart. From it came a tiny sound, like the cheeping of small hungry robins. She walked over to the cart. On It, with their little pink hands waving in the air, were four little babies tucked into a nest of soft white wool. Gloria looked at them curiously. "Aren’t they the cutest things you ewer saw?” asked a gay voice be- | hind Gloria. She turned to nee the little fresh-faced nurse standing there. “It’s their feeding time. That’s why they’re howling,” she explained. “I’d let you hold one of them for a minute, but it’s against the rules of the hospital." Gloria shrank away from her. "Oh, I wouldn’t want to hold one!” she cried. "I’d lie afraid of hurting it! I don’t know how to hold a baby!” The little nurse stared. “A woman doesn’t have to learn how to hold a baby. She just knows how, the minute she takes it in her arms. It’s born In her,” she said. She gave Gloria a queer, puzzled look as she trundled the baby cart away. “That is, it’s born In most women,” she added. "Os course, there I are a few that don't like babies, ! specially. But I think they're unI natural and . . .’’ Without finishing her sentence she vanished around a corner. Presently-another nurse came into sight. “Are you Mrs. Richard Gregory?” she asked. Gloria nodded. “Dr. Seymour wanted me to tell you that the operation Is over, and that your mother-in-law came through It very well," she said. "And he says if you’d like to see her ,it's all right for you to, now.” “Will you take me to her room, then?" Gloria asked. * * * OTHER GREGORY lay on a narrow high bed in a whitewalled room. Her face was colorless and covered with sweat. She snored through her parted lips. As Gloria stood looking down at her, she half-opened her eyes. Her lips moved. She was trying to say something. Gloria bent her head to listen. "Dick,” she whispered, "Dick.” Then she lapsed into her stupor again.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

CINDERS ASKED FOR HOLES IN PAVED STREET Mr. Fixit Investigates Complaints of Times Readers.

Do You Know? William T. Bailey, assistant city attorney, will lead a large delegation to -Louisville. Ky., to capture the 1926 International Fire Chief's convention.

The car driver who passes along Ohio St. near Warman Ave. must negotiate hills and valleys in the paving, according to a letter Mi-. Fixit received today. DEAR MR. FIXIT: I wish to ad vise that Ohio St. at Warman Ave. is in rather poor condition That is, it is full of chuck holes, and a load or two of cinders would be very’ much appreciated by me as well as the many people who travel over this street. JOHN M„ BATES, 201 N. Warman Ave. W. P. Hargon, clerk of thi street commissioner's office, said he thought it would be possible to spread either gravel or cinders at the intersection. DEAR MR. FIXIT: We neigh bore are kindly asking you to get Temperance Ave. fixed so we can get in and out. It is in a very bad condition. We are paying big taxes and have no street to use at all—Just a big mud hole. We are not able to get out at all from Fletcher Ave. We kindly ask for something to be done before winter. JOSEPH SFERRNZZI, DAVID WALKER, PETE ESTRATE. Mr. Fixit was advised by the street commissioneris department that your complaint will be investigated. Hargon also will investigate the following: DEAR MR. FlXlT—Gerwyn and Albany Sts., west of Shelby, have recently had sewers, leaving no way but the alley for us to drive, as the city has blocked Albany St. as unsafe. Now traffic is heavy down our | alley. Large oil and dirt trucks | have knocked holes in It, making It impossible to get down after a ruin. Could we have some cinders to fill in those bad places? We haven t even a sidewalk to walk on. If we had cinders for those holes, could get out without drowning. MILLER AND ZIMMERMAN. S4O and 944 E. Albany St. DEAR MR. FIXIT: Would you please advise me as to the best course to follow to get our street graded?
