To keep from being placed in Such a. position was Wright’s mm aim 3 “Miss Kerr! You here!” It was : all he could say, but he put into it a awealth of feeling which made it im- fpossible to mistake his meaning. He gtorgot David Kerr, he forgot every 'one but this girl whom now he met again after so long a time. Thus \sithin a quarter of an hon-1 after meeting the boss of Belmont “'right found himself invited to his home The circumstances that hao brought about the, invitation he wo: {'3 “There’s no need now of your fear- ing you will be lonesome, Miss Gloria,’ was Mrs. Gilbert’s comment. “Hon lucky to find an old friend.” “When did you and Gloria meet?" Kerr asked the newspaper man. “First on a steamer going to Eu- rope)’ “And then accidentally any number of times on the continent,” added Gloria. “Yes indeed ” replied Gloria, with? such spirit that no one could believe' she was merely saying the polite! thing. ‘I command vou to come to see i me at once, Mr. Wright. I know hard: IV a soul in Belmont. You see I just; came home this morning.” l Selfish as they wished to be, for a time they were forced to join in the general conversation and satisfy the curiosity of the others concerning pre vious acquaintanceship. “Here! in Belmont!” He made no effort to conceal his surprise. “Yes,” she said proudly; “I am the daughter of David Kerr.” Had she struck him a blow full in the face she could not more have stag- gered him. in the joy of meeting her, lVrig'nt had forgotten everything but the pleasure of seeing her again and the memories her presence conjured up of what he called their mad old, glad old Paris days when they had been so much together. He had for- gotten the sordid present with the fight to make friends for his kind of newspaper, the effort to meet the pay roll, and the continuous struggle against what he knew to be the evil influences of David Kerr. David Kerr, her father! With G‘loria’s explanation, raised by her pride in her father al- most to a boast, all this was brought back to him. He still smiled, but his heart went dead within him. The sun which had shone for him so gloriously only a minute ago was now hidden be- hind the blackest cloud in the heavens. Mrs. Gilbert was the first of the ’others to recover the power of speech. “You know each other!” “Joe Wright. of all persons!” ex- claimed Gloria, shaking his hands heartily, her face radiant with smiles. To the surprise of the others pres- ent Gloria gave a little scream of de- light and came forward with both hands outstretched to greet the young man. He no less gave evidence of his pleasure at the meeting. His face lighted up with a smile and the way 'he grasped both her hands betokened his happiness at seeing her again. If the others could not share their grati- fication, they could at least share their surprise. “You’re the last person I’d expect to find in Belmont.” “But you’re not the last person I’d hope to find here,” he replied. “I don’t mean it that way. Belmont is my home, too. I was born here.” “Indeed we do,” replied Gloria. “We traveled abroad for a time in the same party. How do you happen to be “There isn’t much to tell. I live here now.” "‘How funny!” “I’m not apologizing for it," he laughed. him to Miss Kerr that the editor of the Belmont News and the daughter of David Kerr came face to face.

For remu k embohiau “For meif is the first time in tv «five years." At any rate, I’m glad we’re both here.” He was anxious to have her interpret the present. “Well,” he answered. He wanted her to begin, and thus give him the cue to her line of thought. “This isn’t much like Paris.” “You’re here.’ “Yes,” she laughed, “and you’re here, too. That’s why it isn’t like Paris when I saw it last.” “Well?” Gloria smiled, inviting him to begin the story of all that had han- pened since they had shaken hands and parted. he to go to London and she back to Paris where she was to see him later but where disappoint,- ment awaited her. made it a point to meet at "varicu: places in Europe. To add eonfusim: to their friendship, which he had high 1y priZed, had just come the astound- ing revelation that she was David Kerr’s daughter. How could he be a friend of the daughter and an enemy of the father? Then, too,- what did she knew of her father’s methods, and of his own attitude toward the boss of Belmont? And if she knew, what did she think?

With (“min the undercurrent of unrest mutt Then they sat down to talk of other days. For the first time that evening Gloria and Wright found no one to in- terrupt their conversation. “You don’t know how glad I find you here.” “Are you. 9” he replied, retaining her hand while he spoke. “Since- thats the case I w’ouidnt care to be any- \xheie else in the xxorld. ” He was standing in front of the grate, his admiration for the girl shin- ing honestly forth from his eyes as he watched her say the last good-byes. When the others had gone, she turned to Wright with a smile. ‘Walking across the room to him she held out her hand, and said simply: “Then I’ll appeal to Mr. Wright to help me.” “I have no influence with her,” laughed Wright “I’ll tell you about it éome other time,” said Mrs. Hayes to Gloria, not despairing of making her a. worker. “Iim afraid you’ll.find me hard 'to convert." “Not since you ran away from us in Paris,” pouted Gloria. Dr. Hayes and his wife left the li- brary conveyed by Mrs. Gilbert. “It isn’t our fault, is it?” asked Gloria. To her, settlement work was a sealed book. Slatternly women with troops of dirty, sniveling brats re- pelled her. Were she ever to develop any philanthropy along these lines, she was sure that the work would be carried on vicariously. “Of course it isn’t our fault,” added Dr. Hayes emphatically. “I still say, Rose,” turning to his wife, “that I have no sympathy for people who use the bath tub for a coal bin,” Gloria cautiously. _ “Not fashionable and highly insani- tary, ” was his verdict. “A germ is no respect er of persons. My Wife’ 8 liable 0 bring home anything from measles to socialism.” ‘ But think of the poor, unfortunate, ignorant people, ” pleaded Mrs. Gilbert, n he with Mrs. Hayes was interested in a mission established in a poor quarter of the town by the Presbyteri- an church.
