The harder he tried to fight agdinst his conviction of what he should do, the more Wright was convinced that there was but one course for him to pursue: it would be best for him to leave Belmont.

No one ever knew exactly what had taken place in Noonan's lodging house that afternoon in early spring.

When 40 response greeted her knock, sur brise gave way to alarm, and she called upon Dr. Norton to aid her fn opening the door.

The following day ehe remained in bed, speaking never a word, busy with her own thoughts. The next day, that of the election, she dressed, but did not leave her room. . When it was séén that Gloria was under the cloud of a settled melan- eholy, there was debate how best to minister to her. Her very silence made the problem more perplexing. She uttered never a word by which they might pluck out the heart of the mystery. Strange ae it may seem, she did not even ask about Joe Wright. She did however, read the morning and afternoon papers carefully. In neither was there any reference to an attack on the editor. As her mind beat upon the bars of its new iron cage, it sufficed her to know that all must be well with him Gi « Joe Wright's injuries-were not of a Serious nature, yet it was thought best that he remain at home for several | days.

The few remaining hours of darkness he rolled and tossed. It was not the bruises he had received in the fight at Noonan's that kept him awake, annoying as they were. It was always the one, thought --QGloria, Gloria, Gloria. Morning brought -diversions which slightly relieved the tension. There were two editorials to be written upon the political situation. This was fol- lowed by conferences with men on the paper, and then came the letter to the newspaper broker announcing that the News was for gale. He did not dictate this to his secretary, but wrote it out laboriously in long-hand. The morning wae more than half over when he began to pack. It was Wright's intention to leave Belmont that night, ostensibly on a vacation for the purpose of recuperation after the hard campaign. The owner of the News felt, however, that he would nev- er return. The many steps necessitated in packing taught him how weak he was, and after hunch he called in Patty, the little daughter of his lindlady, to help him." They had always been the best friends, and her sorrow when she learned he was going away on a long vacation was genuine. The child was of much assistance, bringing all the smaller things from the living 'room into the bedroom where the real work of packing was being done. When the packing was about com- pleted' the little girl remembered that searching for it in a pile of clptiing beside Wright's trunk she felt |gome- thing bard. To satisfy her curiosity she drew it forth, to discover, instead of her doll, that it was a framed pie- ture of a young woman. It was a pic- ture of Gloria which had appeared in a weekly spciety paper, Patty hac helped wrap the framed pictures in old newspapers, and as she brought Gloria's picture, she exclaimed triumphantly, "Here's another picture, Mr. Joey." Wright had put it aside purrepti- tiously when packing the things he had planned to take with him for im- mediate use. For the fraction of a minute there had been a debate in his mind as to whether of not he would be weak enough to carry her picture \ she had brought a doll with her.

Wright had - discussed the affair with Dr. Norton and had also told Ar- thur Morrison what little he knew. THis was the first intimation coming from the ring that they even knew of the occurrence. The newspaper man was curious to know the ring version of it. Dr. Hayee' remark afforded him the opportunity to approach the mat- ter cautiously, 3 "What was Mrs, Hayes' connection that--ah--little episode?" he asked. "I gathered from Dr. Norton that in some way or other she knew something about it." Dr, Hayes stared at him in amage- ment. Miss Kerr had never uttered a word, yet he readily believed, as did the others, that both Wright and she were the only ones who could tell the story. The woman in whose room they had béen found was eiill In a delirious condition at the city hospital and nothing could be learned from her. Although Kerr had ordered (Me police Lo bring in Ryan and Kelly, the search had been unsuccessful "What!" gasped Dr. Hayes, "don't vou know how you got out of that mess and why the thugs didn't finish you?"
