(“H A PT C H A P When Gloria Kerr returned .from St. Louis 'she found half a hundred calling cards awaiting her. The worn- en she was anxious to meet had called while she was out of town. Those who delayed their visits until her re- turn were peOple whom she readily recognized as being quite on the outer fringe of society. In them shc was not interested. When Gloria went to return the calls. of those whom she had come to know-were regarded as .the first families of Belmont, she found no one at home. FHA PT Somewhat mortified, but making no confession of her feelings even to Mrs. Gilbert. Gloria threw herself into the work of remodelingLocust Lawn with all the vigor she would other- wise have expended upon social du- ties. Her active superintendence kept her a good part of the time in the country, although she still made her home with Mrs. Gilbert. Sometimes she would pass the night at Locust Lawn out of a sense of duty to her father. The evenings spent in his company were not ones of unalloyed pleasure. More and more she was coming to acknowledge toherself that her father did not, could not enter into her life, into the activities'which gave her pleasure. ' CHAPTE C‘H.\P Kerr honestly tried, but it was im- possible. For one thing, he was en- gaged in a heated political campaign. fighting to retain supremacy. Gloria. on her side, saw that she had been rebuffed socially, and was not on close enough terms of intimacy with her father to tell him about it. The girl knew that he had been the social lead- er in-Belmont, and she was ashamed that she‘ had not been able to win all hearts as he had done Gloria’s admiration of her father‘s powers did not lessen upon their bet- ter acquaintance. Strange as it may seem, her loyalty to hi m “as strength- ened by each turn of fortune’s wheel which thus: her back upon, herself. The fri‘volous veneer in her nature was being worn avg, .y. and the real of hdspital 3 home.

Beloved. ,On the side of a meadowed slape; And Love in our hearts. Beloved, Love. and Spring and Hope. Now was spring here, and hope and the promise of love, but he did not come. After her return from St. Louis she had waited in vain. Then she had asked to have'him invited. to 1wiinner. When Mrs. Gilbert telephoned thim he refused owing to press of 'business, but asked to Speak to Glo- ' ria. She came to the telephone and , l 3 ;they had a pleasant chat. He told her . i ,that he was busy finishing some magâ€" ' {azine articles which the editor was pressing him for, and that he was ‘working night and day. For the time ‘tbeing Gloria accepted this explana- ’ tion. The day of their telephone con- versation there came from him a box ‘of red roses at the dinner hour. It must not be thought that Glo- ria was entirely cut off from society. It was the society she craved. the in- ‘ timate association with certain ones, which she was not. finding. To all the ’formal functions Gloria was invited. Ebut she no longer cared for big balls “as formerly Her dances were all taken, but there was something in the Eatmosphere which dampened her spir- ; iits. Although every one was superfi- - :cially pleasant, there was no cordial- ’ity in it a all. So she busier] herself I lmore and more with remodeling her [country home. _ 3 One day at Locust Lawn a man en- ;gaged in digging the foundation for :the new porch touched his hat and L "called Mrs. Hayes by name. She ,stopped to talk to him and betrayed , fa knowledge of his family affairs ’,which astonished Gloria. After they é; ghad passed, the girl questioned her :1 ;about the workman and how she came ito know him. dr‘ -..â€"â€".-â€" v i t I l 1 l I c l I warm was oegiumng to appear. Kerr’s was indeed a powerful person- ality, and Gloria was coming to see why he was so successful. A woman’s intuition and not an understanding of the facts in the case was the girl’s tu- tor Shehugged to her heart the com- parison of Joe Wright and her father. In the younger man she saw some of the traits which made her father a powerâ€"magnetism, reserve strength, and a legical mind. Wright had that and more: he had all the social graces. To her, however, his great- est appeal was that he was youth, eternal youth, and love. What Gloria could not understand was why Wright was avoiding her. In her ears she could hear him Whisper as he had that night: “His wife came to the mission for help last winter when he was sick,” Mrs. Hayes explained. Gloria looked at the man in the trench, bending his oack in pain that she might have a place to serve tea in the afternoon and loll: in a swinging seat in the moonlight. He was but a unit out of those teeming millions of units to whose existence she had al- ways been indifferent. Had she been told in other days that this man’s family had almost died of want she would have let it stay in her mind no longer than the neus that a hundred {poor girls had been burned to death in a fire tiap a bribed factory inspec- tor had branded as safe. In other words, she would not have considered the matter at all. To have dominion over palm and pine to Gloria meant only that from these lands should‘be gathered the best there was for the lords of the earth. And of that order she knew herself to be one. Sin and suffering were familiar to her in the abstract, sodden wretches she had seen invade even Fifth ave- nue, but that back of all were stories of weaknesses. misfortunes, Oppres- sion, inhuman exploitation. and man’s inhumanity to man she had not con- sidered. She believed they were born into their caste just as she was born into hers. - Now as she listened to this work- man talk, heard his story from Mrs. Hayes, learned that he had little chil- dren dependent upon him just as she had been dependent upon her father before he had made a settlement upon her, making her independent, Gloria began to realize that there was such a thing as the fellowship of man. She was not uncharitable. Whenever any appeal had been made to her she had always emptied her pocketbook thoughtlessly and considered her duty done. Now the thought of personal service came to her. She was igno- rant of what she could do, even of its power ;to bring her any measure of happiness, but it was worth trying. They had driven in silence almost to town before Gloria turned to Mrs. Hayes and said: “Mrs: Hayes. the next time you got to the mission -I want you to take me.” Several days later Gloria went with Mrs. Hayes to view at close range the work being done'in the poorer quar- ters of Belmont by the Presbyterian Mission. She met Mrs. Wallace, the matron, and from her learned the story of the humble but unfortunate toilers, and the evils to which they. were-constantly a prey through their ignorance and inability .to .protect themselves. Gloria then‘acc’ompanied her on a round of visits, and soon the girl’s interest was such that on the days Mrs. Hayes went to the mission 'she was glad to go with her. The boss was disturbed at his daughter’s trip' into the lowest quar- " . 1""I!

She now tried to erase the impres- sion by say:ing ' ‘Matter? Nothing. Why?” The boss’ suspicions were not to be SO .LIJE‘ d. ‘ “You’re keepin’ somethin’ back from me, Gloria. What is it?” “No, I’m not,” she insisted. “Has anyone done anythin’. or said anythin’ to you?” “Nothing.” "But somethin’s back 0’ all this. You. ain’t happy. Anybody can see that. Now what’s it all about?” He wait. ed for her to reply, but She would? not speak. “Can’t you answer?” Forced into a corner, unable to turn the conversation, Gloria saw no way- of escape, and finally stammered: “It’sâ€"it’sâ€"wellâ€"it’s just an atmos- phere.” ' , . “You go every place.” “To all the big things, yes.” “PeOple are nice to you.” She hesitated, but finally said,‘ “Ye-es.” ' “Ain’t they?” "Oh, I suppose so,” she admitted in a lifeless manner.‘ “Perhaps I’m'not, used to western ways, yet the nice people look just like nice people look back East.” “What’s different, then?” “They seem to keep me at arm’s length. I don’t see why. You’re the biggest man in Belmont, and yet 1â€"” She did not finish the sentence. “Yetâ€"Iâ€"what?” he urged. “I don’t understand, that’s all.” “'Who, for insmnce?” Gloria thought for a moment, and resolved only to name persons in a general way, “'Well, Letty Loomis.” “Old John Loomis’ daughter?" “Is he the big wholesale grocer?” “That‘s him. What ’d she do?” “I tell youâ€"she didn’t do anything. S It’s justâ€"an atmosphere.” 1 i | i I “Huh! A beautiful lot 0’ airs she’s got a right to put on,” snorted the boss. “D’ you know how old Loomis made his money?” “Out of groceries, didn’t he?” “Groceries, nothin’. T'hats just a stall. He’s got a warehouse chuck; full of rotten whisky he sells in pro- ; hibition Kansas. That’s his real busi- ness. He don‘t sell enough gioce1i1s in a year to feed a first class boardin’ house. I wouldn’t let him sell any- thing to the poor farm. Don’t let that girl 0’ his put it over you any. And they say he passes the plate in church! Gadé I hate a hypocrite. I’ll make him sweat for it._” Her father was so wrought up that lGloria was afraid to speak further, 1 but when he insisted she told of sevs eral instances of which she had been pleased to term antagonistic atmos- phere, and in each case Kerr related some disgraceful characteristic of the head of the family. Once he did not hesitate to give his opinion of a soci- ety woman whose history he knew well. This intimate knowledge of Bel- mont affairs and his belittling refer- ences to leading citizens made Gloria reach the. conclusion that in some 11 av he was in a class by himself. This caused her to soothe him with the remark: “Father, I think they’re jealous be- cause you’re head and shoulders above them all.” She might not love him, but her pride in him and her loyalty to him were all the greater for the lack of love. She felt that she was at fault for not having that true filial regard which other daughters had for their fathers, and therefore whenever she could she strengthened her faith in him as Belmont’s leading citizen. She was proud to be his daughter. On the day of his intiérview with McMinitry .Kerr- had asked Kendall and Dr. Hayes to meet him at Judge Gilbert’s oflice directly after luncheon. At this conference he intended to tell them they would have to acquire the News. The transfer of the property need not bé made until after the election, but he named to know at once that it w as his. vuvv v”â€"‘ The boss was late, and the three men had to wait some time for him. “I Wouldn’t want the boys to know it,” said Gilbert disconsolately, “but I’m afraid he’s got us beat.” Kendall was hOpeful still. “It’s three days till election,” he urged. “Anything can happen in that. time.” ‘ you ment.

' - "‘How ’5 it look, Mr. Kerr?” asked Gilbert. ' “It might be worse,” was the reply. “We count thevotes, don’t we?” Gilbert was not optimistic. “I'm afraid it isn’t going to be that close.” “Have you heard anything from the eleventh?” queried Kendall. .“I had a talk with Sweeney this morning: angl he_ said he coyld nut wish I believed in miracles like do,” was Dr. Hayes’ rueful com- CHAPTER XI. ~ by: chronic dhâ€";e common to woman- land?

On Friday morning last we saw a rather new and novel shipment of fur animals passing through here from the west to Georgetown, en route to Prince Edward Island, in the shape of several crates of live skunks. Upon inquiry we learned that this is becom- ing quite an industry in the country, as they bring 825 a pair for breeding purposes. There being a scarcity of fur, these little animals are being bred on farms in different places and their pelts sold. We had always had the - impression that the farther one kept from these animals the better, but we were agreeably sprprised to find about \ BR. PIERCE’S Favorite Prescripfiam Mrs. Fannie H.
