' Mrs. Gordon and the floor nurse ysat at the foot of her bed talking Sip low tones. y. “She won’t wake up for a while,” nurse said. “We gave her a peeping powder." Gloria's mother clasped her hands ; tightly together. "You’re sure she’s not seriously hurt?" she asked for the third time. “Well, her collar bone’s broken and she’s pretty well bruised,” the nurse answered, for the third time, also. “But she's not going to die, of course.” "Who is ‘Stan’?” she asked, after a moment's silence. "She kept asking about ‘Stan’ before she went to sleep." Gloria’s mother didn’t answer. She knew at once who ‘Stan’ was ' That Had been what Gloria had always called that good-for-nothing Wayburn! Mrs. Gordon wondered if Gloria had been seeing Wayburn all during her married life. She wondered if Wayburn had been with her when the car had been wrecked that afternoon. She stood up and looked at Gloria’s face. A y®ar ago Gloria, in her sleep, had looked as i’inocont and sweet as a baby. Mrs. Gordon had often told herself so when she had gone into her daughter’s room to tuck her up for the night. Now that ook of child-like innocencd had gqne. There was anew arid hard expression around the beautiful mouth. What had brought It there, Mrs. Gordon wondered. And as if in answer to her question, Gloria stirred in her sleep and murmured “Stan." • • • SN nour later she stirred again and opened her eyes. She smiled as she saw her moth or, who was sitting beside her. "Car?” Gloria asked, after a few minutes. Her voice was drowsy. "I guess it’s pretty badl: wrecked. Your dad’s going to see about it in the morning," Mrs. (Jordon answered. She took the fingers of Gloria’s bandaged hand In hers. The girl winced and drew them away. “Stan?" she asked, after another long pause. Mrs. Gordon shook her head. “Was It Wayburn who was with you in the car this afternoon?” she asked. Gloria closed her eyes. She pretended that she was asleep so that she would not have to ansv/er her mother's question. But her pale lips quivered and a tear slid down her check from unher shadowy lashes . . . then an- * • • t" 1 HE’S been seeing that WayJN I burn a ß ain - I’m snre of it! ” I I Mrs. Gordon said to Gloria’s father that night, as they walked home. "The nurse says she’s been calling for him ever since she came into the hospital!” "Do you think he was with her In the car when it turned over?” Mr. Gordon asked. His little Gloria! His baby girl! . . . Ah, no! She wasn’t the kind of woman who ran around with men after she was married! * Not the little daughter that he and mother had raised so carefully! . . . The little daughter who had learned her prayers at his knee! Not his Glory! There couldn't be anything had in her! “Mother, you don’t think Way-

wonder of the year, Glory!” she said, after she had kissed her on both cheeks. • Gloria started. “What do you mean. May?” she asked. There was a queer, sinking feeling at her heart. "Well,” May went on cheerfully, 'that cat, Mrs. Wing, saw you pick Wayburn up in your car the afternoon of the wreck. She said that Wayburn was three sheets to the wind.... And the story’s going ’round that you were too squiffy to drive straight...." "It’s not true!” Gloria burst out angrily. "I hadn’t had a thing tq, drink! Not a thing!” May smiled sweetly. “You can tell me the truth, dearie! You know I'll never breathe It to a soul," she said. "I don’t care whether you do or not! I tell you I didn’t have a thing to drink! It was raining and the car skidded Into the ditch, that’s all,” Gloria said. “But Stan was with you, wasn’t he?” May asked. . “Yes, he was,” Gloria answered defiantly. “But how did you know he was?"

about It!" she added a moment later. "Mrs. O'Hara is a friend of one of the nurses who took care of you here at the hospital the night of the wreck. And this nurse told her about your calling for someone named ‘Stan’ all the time!" Gloria stared at May without speaking. "Mrs. O’Hara asked John who ‘Stan’ was,” May went on. “And It mar," occurred to John who ’Stan' . . But the minute he told me about it I knew you’d been calling for Wayburn! I guess I’m some little Sherlock Holmes!" ‘I hope Dick hasn't heard about my calling ‘Stan,’ ” Gloria said. "But I suppose he has!” May took out her vanity case and powdered her prominent nose. "By the way, Dick’s muoh better, John says,” she remarked. “He thinks he’ll be able to come here to see you in a day or two.” And the next afternoon Dick came to the hospital. Gloria wakened from a cat-nap to find him standing beside her bed, looking down at her. She smiled up at him in welcome. "Well, Dick Gregory!” she cried, “It certainly seems fine to see you standing on your own feet again! Do you feel really well now?” “Not well but a lot better,” Dick answered. He drew up a chair to the side of the bed and sat down. “Your car's still in the shop," he said, without smiling. “The man I sent out to tow it back to town said it was pretty badly smashed. . . . Tell me, Gloria, how did you happen to run off the road that day?” Gloria swallowed hard. “Well, it was raining, you know,” she began, "and the car skidded . . . and that's all. The next thing I knew I was lying in the road with the car on top of me!" “What were you doing out In the country fifteen milc-s from home?" Dick went on. “Oh, don’t ask me any more questions!" Gloria cried impatiently. "Havn’t I been through enough, lying here flat on my back for two weeks. Give me a little peace!” “Was anybody with you?” Dick asked relentlessly. Gloria closed her "I’m tired,” she said. “Go away.” "Not until you tell me If anyone was with you In your car that day,” Dick said In a low monotone. Gloria opened her eyes. She smiled

at Dick, showing the two tiny dimples that were tucked in at the corner of her mouth. “You haven’t kissed me yet, Rik-ky-Tikky-Tavy,” she said. “I’m not going to kiss you,” Dick answered calmly. “Never again?” "Perhaps . . . but not right now,” Dick replied. “Right now I’m interested in just one thing. I want to know who was with you ’way out In the country that day of the wreck! And, by Jove, I’m going to find out, too!” Gloria burst out laughing. "Not if I don’t choose to tell you,” she said. "After all, nobody knows who was along hut me! And I’m not going to tell” Dick whitened. Suddenly Gloria was sorry for him. “I was all alone, Dick,” she said. “There wasn’t anyone with me. Cross my heart" * Dick looked at her quietly for a minute. Then he put his hand into his coat pocket and pulled out a little mud-stained flask, covered with cheap leather. “How did you happen to have this along with you?” he asked. “Have you taken to solitary drinking. Gloria?” His wife widened her eyes that were the color of brown pansies. “Where in the world did you gel that thing?” she asked. “I never saw it before in my life.” She shuddered as she looked at the flask. She seemed, still, to see it in Stan’s hand as he tried to make her drink from It "You mean to tell me, upon your word of honor, that you never have seen this whisky flask before In your life?" Dick asked her. /Gloria answered him gravely. “I mean just that!” she said. She watched him put the flask back into his pocket. She drew a long breath of relief. Then fascinated, she saw him draw from his coat another shining object ... a silver cigaret case. It. too. was caked with yellow mud. "Did you ever see this before, Gloria?" he asked. Gloria shook her head. "Never?” Dick asked, "Think before you speak." “Never!" Dick smiled scornfully. “What kind of a woman are you, anyway?" he asked. “You know as well as I do whose cigaret case this Is!" He turned It over, so that Gloria could see the initials that were engraved upon It. . . . “S. W.” Stanley Wayburn! * (To Be Continued.) MOTHER!
