GLORIA fl 2 r

THK STORY SO FAR Gloria Gonlan. beautiful flapper, juarries Dick Gregory, a struggling lawyer. Her idea of marriage ia fun and fine clothes . . . but no work or children. She refuses pointblank to do her own housework, and hires a maid. Hut Dick has to let the maid go, because he can’t afford her wages. Gloria has swamped him with debts for her clothes and anew automobile. She becomes infatuated with an out-of-work actor. When he leaves town to go to New York she follows him. But he spurns her. Then she tries to find a job as a chorus-girl but fails. It is only then that Gloria begins to realize how much she cares for Dick. She is tcrriby lonely for him. But she is afraid to go home. At last, however, she docs. Dick takes her back, but not as his wife. Gloria begins to wonder if he is iri love with his secretary. Susan Briggs. While Dick is out very late one night the house is robbed. Gloria feels sure Dick spent the evening with Miss Briggs. But next morning she learns that Dick was at the home of Dr. John Seymour, who had killed himself because of his wife's love affair with Jim Carewe. Gloria goes to Dick's office to tell him about the burglary, but he is not there. She has a long talk with Miss Briggs and wrings from her a confession that she is in love with Dick Gloria tells Dick that night that ho will have to discharge Miss Briggs. He refuses. And Gloria accuses him of being in love with Miss Briggs. By Beatrice Burton CHAPTER LIII r—l ICK frowned. His eyes looked D straight ahead of him under thpir bent brows. “No, I’m not ‘crazy’—as you call It—about any woman,” he said deliberately. He walked to the open window and stood, with folded arms, looking into the fragrant darkness beyond. “When you say that do you mean me, too?” Goria asked. There was an agony of entreaty in her voice. “Do you mean that you don’t care about me, any more?” Dick turned slowly toward her, without answering. The movement brought him face to face with her. She looked at him narrowly, at first only with curiosity; then with a kind of terror His eyes were cold and without light. Gloria felt as if some curtain had dropped between them a curtain that she could not pierce. She stepped back and put up her hand in a little defensive movement. “You don’t love me any more'.”.... She answered her own question. And then she burst into hysterical tears. Through her eyelashes, gathered into little wet points, she could see Dick looking at her curiously, as if he had never seen her before. ' She watched him drop into his Chair and pick up a book. He set it up between them, like a barrier, and began to read. The clock in the hall struck eleven... .and, as If the sound of it freed some blocked movement in Gloria’s brain, she pulled herself together and went upstairs. As she went she heard Dick strike a match, for his cold pipe. He was calmly settling down to a quiet evening No doubt he was glad she was gone! * * * WILD get back!” Gloria said fiercely to hersef the 1 I next morning when she awoke. She had set her alarm clock for seven! "I will get back into Dick’s life! I belong there. He can’t put me out of It!” She bathed and dressed herself In one of the bungalow aprons that Ranghild had worn for her morning work. Then she tiptoed downstairs and brought in the milk and the paper from the back porch. She lighted the gas stove and took the coffee tin from the kitchTired? No Pep? Just Dragging Along?

en cupboard. She stood looking at it helplessly. How did you make coffee? There were no directions on the gay wrapper around the tin, and Gloria didn’t own a cook book. Then suddenly she remembered that Dick knew how to make coffee. She would run upstairs and ask him how it was done. She knocked on his door. “Dick ....I’ve brought you the morning paper,” she called, brightly. In a moment Dick opened the door. “Thanks.” His eyes took her in —the bungalow apron, the rolled-up sleeves, and the coffee tin in her hand. “What do you think you’re doing?” he asked. An amused smile flickered over his face. "Making coffee for my husband!” Gloria answered pertly. “Only, I don’t know how to make it. Aside from that I’m getting along fine!” Dick’s smile broadened into a grin. “I suppose you’re after my recipe,” he said. “I use a tablespoon of coffee for each cup, and an extra one for the pot.” * * * LORIA’S spirits lifted at his good humor. And something k—in her breast that had been like a lump of ice, seemed to melt. ... . She was sure that he hadn’t meant his harshness to her last night. He hadn’t meant what he had said..., She put up her lips for him to kiss. “You aren’t peeved at your Glory, are you?” she asked. She laid her hand on his cheek, and came a step nearer. Then, with a little sigh, she put her head down on his shoulder. It was good to be there with Dick, friends once more. Like the solution of a problem. “We’ve quarreled long enough.... you and I. Kiss me!” she said. But as she spoke, she knew she was making a mistake. She could feel Dick draw away from her. Her hands dropped at her sides, and she went downstairs without another word. She made the coffee, according to Dick's campfire recipe, and put it on the stove to boil. When he came downstairs to breakfast, it was more than ready. “I’m sorry there isn’t toast,” Gloria said as she poured it for him, “but there wasn’t so much as a crumb of bread in the house. I’ll stock up today.” She tried to drink a cup of her coffee. But she had to admit to herself that it was too bitter to drink. She didn’t dare to offer Dick a second cup of it. “Will you he home tonight for dinner?” she asited as he got up from the table. She hoped that he would at least offer to kiss her goodby. But he didn’t. “Yes, I’ll be home,” he said colorlessy. "I think I’ll take your car today. You don’t seem to drive it any m0re....d0 you mind if I do?” Gloria shook her head. There was a lump in her throat. She watched Dick drive down the street, her vision blurred with tears. She wiped them away, angrily. “What’s tjie matter with me?” she asked herself. “Am I falling in love with the poor simp?” Was she?....Or had she always been in love with him? And had it taken her jealousy of Miss Briggs to unveil the fact to her?.... * * * SHE thought of Miss Briggs down in Dick’s office with him all day was a torment to her. She stopped in the middle of her work a dozen times that morning to wish that Dick had a man secretary instead of Susan Briggs. “He’s just got to fire her!” she kept telling herself. “I just won’t have her down in that office with him. That's all there is to it!” Soothing and sympathetic, was she? Well, Gloria would show Dick that she, herself, could be soothing and sympathetic. If that was Miss Briggs’ method of “vamping” Dick, that would be Gloria’s game. Two could play at any old game.... The sight of Dick’s shabby old house-coat hanging in his closet was an inspiration to Gloria. She would buy him anew one. Goodness knows he needed it! And It wouldn’t be a dull gray one like this.... It would have some pep and dash about it.... * * * W~~~\ lIEN Dick came home that night, the table was neatly i—J sei. There was an appetizing odor of frying steak in the house. And Gloria, in a clean white dress, came out of the kitchen to meet him. “Dinner will be ready in two minutes,” she greeted him cheerfully. “And when you go upstairs to wash your hands, take a peek at the surprise I have for you up there.” On the bed in Dick’s room was spread Gloria’s “surprise”... .a purple silk house-coat lined with scarlet. “Holy suffering cats!” Dick said to himself. “Does she thb ,t I’d wear a thing like that?” He went down to dinner in his suit. Gloria’s face fell when she saw him. “Aren’t you going to put on your new housecoat?” she asked. Dick shook his head. “You know I never wear bright colors like that, Puzzle a Day A diver cut a hole in the submerged submarine S-51 in an effort to release the men trapped within.

Gloria,” he said, “although It Is a doggoned nice coat. Thanks.” “What'll I do with it?” Gloria asked pathetically. She looked as if she were going to cry. “Take it back?” “You didn't pay cash for It, did you?” Dick asked. “N—no,” Gloria faltered. •"I charged it to you.” “And how much was it?” Dick’s voice had grown stern. “Not very much... .only $50,” Gloria replied. “It really was a bargain. It had been $75... .awfully good silk in it.” Dick sat down at the dining room table. “Now look here, Gloria,” he said. “I’ve told you a dozen times that you’re not to go downtown and run up bills without asking me about it, first And in spite of it, you charge a SSO house-coat to me In a store where I owe money as it is!” Gloria felt a frown growing between her eyebrows. “Well, what do you want me to do....take the thing back?” she asked. “I’m going to be terribly ashamed if I have to, let me tell you!” “I’ll take it back,” Dick answered. “Just do it up in a bundle, and I’ll take it with me in the car tomorrow morning... .1 hate to seem ungrateful, Glory, but a SSO present that isn’t paid for wouldn’t give me any satisfaction, at all. I’d have the blues every time I put it on.” Gloria shook her head. “I can’t understand you at all, Dick,” she said. “Suppose you do owe a few bills? Everybody does. Nobody ever has every dollar paid right up on the first of the month.” Dick was silent. He made little dots on the tablecloth with the tines of his fork. "I I suppose you’ll have a fit if I mention the word ‘clothes’ to you,” Gloria went on, after a minute, “but I haven’t a single summer dress. You know you promised me I could have some, before you went away on your trip. Remember?” “Yes,” Dick answered quietly. “But don’t you think it’s more Important for us to get some of our old bills paid off, first?” “No!” Gloria cried, angrily. “I’m just about at the point where I could go to jail for debt, cheerfully, like Mr. Mlcawber. That is, if I could have a few clothes... .I’m in rags!” Dick’s lip curled. “Pretty costly rags, I'll say,” he remarked. “You bought three SIOO dresses just a few Relieved His Rupture I was badly ruptured while lifting a trunk several years ago. I feared my only hope of cure was an operation. Trusses did me no good. Finally I got hold of something that quickly and completely cured me. Years have passed and the rupture has never returned, although I am doing hard work as a carpenter. There was no operation, no lost time, no trouble. I have nothing to sell, but will give full information about how you may find complete relief without operation, if you write to me, Eugene M. Pullen, Carpenter, 317-M, Marcellus Avenue, Manasquan, N. ,T. Better cut out this notice and show it to any others who are ruptured —you may save a life or at least stop the misery of rupture and the worry and dread of an operation.—Advertisement BLACK-DRAUGHT A FAMILY CUSTOM Florida Lady Tells How the Use of Black-Draught Has Proved Valuable :n Her Home. Mrs. Nora Owen, of Ocala, Fla., says that Black-Draught has been her favorite liver medicine so long that its use has, become an established family custom. “My mother always used it,” says Mrs. Owen, “and when I married and had a family of my own, I just kept up the tradition, I guess. “I have found it excellent for spells of indigestion. My son grew pale and bad. He had several bad spells and uothing seemed to stay on his stomach. At last I made a tea of Black-Draught. He retained this and in a few days he was quite all right again and has been well ever since. “We all take Black-Draught in this house. My husband takes It for headache. Sometimes 1 take It myself for indigestion and constipation. I have found it most valuable in raising my family. The children do not object to taking it, in . the form of a tea.” A great many of the complaints from which members of a family often suffer are due to disorders of the stomach, liver or bowels. Thedford’s BlackDraught, with its natural, easy action, tends to relieve these disorders and leave the organs healthy and function ing properly. Black-Draught is purely vegetable and absolutely harmless.

And Dad could buy and sell me a dozen times over ” “It’s Just terrible that you have to supiiort a wife, isn't it?” Gloria asked with fine sarcasm. “I feel sorry for you!” “You should!” Dick answered. “All I hope Is that you’ll feel so sorry for me that you won’t buy any more SSO hats for a while!” Gloria moved irritably under his angry gaze. “You think of every penny....” she said. “I’ve got to think of every penny!” Dick answered, "And you must, too, for a while, until I get on my feet again. That sickness of mine knocked everything in the head.... There’s just one way of looking at this thing. Our marriage has liecome nothing but a business partnership—and a one-sided one, at that.” “Oh, is that so!’’ Gloria cried. “So that’s the way you’ve come to feel about it....We11, thanks, I don’t care for any!
