Her father was question- ing her about matters she preferred to keep to herself. “I! Miss Gloria can spare you, Mr. Kerr,” said the judge, “Mr. Kendall would like to see you in my omce. I’ve come back to be persuaded that I ought to join the cheerful givers." “I'll tell Kendall, Gloria, that he's got to join the lodge,” were Kerr’s parting words as he went into the in- ner oflice. Remembering that Miss Kerr had not been given the chance to explain? her visit fully, Judge Gilbert took a chair beside her and said: “Now, I’m at your service, prepared to believe the most terrible things about our fair Belmont.” “When you talk like that, Judge Gilbert, I’m afraid you’re laughing at Of late Gloria’s seriousness had far outweighed her old mood of joyous- ness, and she now insisted on being taken seriously. THE DAUGHTER 0F DAVID KERR " " “You’ve lectured‘ne so long for be- ing shocked at wnat I’ve found that I’m afraid to say any more.” Judge Gilbert was seeking in his mind for- some plausible reason to ad- vance which would be sufficient to re move Gloria from the Work she has undertaken, when Williams entered. “I beg your pardon. sir,” said Eh: secretary, “but Mr. Wright is here.” “Mr. Wright,” exclaimed Gloria.

In»: and with the campaign now end- ing in a lurid blaze of political pyro- t:;chnics. Gloria Kerr was the last person he would have thought of meet- ing in Gil bert’s office. He had prom- ised hinlSt If that after the election, no matter “bother it went his way or not, he would see her and make his ex- cuses for not having had the time to ho v‘”: her as he had wished. He won}( also begin to look about for a rnrohaser for the News. He hoped he would have no difficulty in getting Glo- ria to leave Belmont. Then for the nrw life with her where they could be ever together, one in heart and hope and happiness. When Williams told Wright that Judge Gilbert was ready to see him, he opened the door and saw the law- yer advancing to meet him with ex- tended hand. The adviser of Belmont corporations knew the value of a hand- shake and a cordial greeting. It made a visit to his office take on the air of a social affair. “I’m so glad you came " he said to the editor, shaking hands heartily. “I came as soon as I could.” Wright was not going to be outdone, and therefore used his most genial tone, although the shaking hands on his side was a perfunctory performance. He knew Judge Gilbert's real attitude, and undue cordiality under the circum- stances savored too much of the Greeks bearing gifts. “Miss Kerr. and I have just been speaking of you.” “What!” exclaimed Wright. Look- ing past the judge, for the first time he saw Gloria. At mention of her name the girl rose from her chair. She really thought she merely wanted to speak to him. once more look into his eyes, and then take her departure. They shook hands in rather a con- strained manner, Gilbert watching them closely the while. At sight of her, Wright stepped for- ward and said, “How do you do. Miss Kerr? It’s a great pleasure to see you. I certainly did not expect to find you here.” “Naturally not,” she replied. “I came to see Judge Gilbert on a mat- ter of business and am just leaving.” Despite herself she could not help 'adding, “My friends find me most of the time at Locust Lawn.” Something in her manner brought the lawyer at once into the conversa- tion with a turning of the subject. “I couldn’t tell you very well over the ’phone what I wanted,” he ex- plained to Wright. "It'll be a little while before I can talk to you. I need a few minutes more to ascertain fully the wishes of my clients.” The conversation was so business- like that Gloria forced herself to say: ”I must be going. Please don’t let me keep you from your work” Bnt at this Gilbert held up his hand appealingly and begged, “Please don’t to. I want you to do me a favor. iWait for Mrs. Hayes. Until I’ve fin- ished this conference, won’t you be 130 good as to act as hostess here and entertain Mr. Wright?” “Really, Judge Gilbert, 1â€"" . “I’m sure Mr. Wright wishes it.” He €tnterrupted her because he did not know what she might say, and he {knew his remark would bring from the {newspaper man a request that she re- quiet dignity, “but if she would be so Bust a few minutes.” _ There was no time for them to pro- vtest. He slipped into the office where :Kendall and Kerr were closeted, and closed the door quietly after him. The situation was not without its Eembarrassment. Taking into consider- :ation everything which had happened in the last month, there was little won- der that each felt constrained. In ad- dition to that, Gloria felt as if she had just been figuratively thrown at- his head. To a high-spirited girl this in itself was mortifying. They sat without a word until the silence be- came painful. Wright was desperate. Here was the one woman in all the world, and he was afraid to open his mbuth. At last he mustered sufficient courage to remark; "Didn’t I tell you," the judge said to the girl. “Not a word. You must take my place until I return. If you’ll pardon me, I'll be with you again in This remark served only to punctu- ate the silence.” It seemed to him, from the length of time before she re- plied, that Gloria was mentally inspect- ing the, records of the weather bureaus tor the last twenty years. “Yes,” she said, a word that did not smear so ponderons as to require all Spring: in the hills. Beloved, (m the side of a meadowed slope; And Love in our hearts. Beloved. Love and Spring and Hope. “I wouldn’t have Miss Wright make martyr of herself,” Wright said with CHAPTER XHI.

Wright had almost forgotten what he had said when she at last gave the conversation football a dainty kick by saying: “Yes.” This time he was ready for her. His embarrassment was wearing 01! and he began again promptly: “Don’t the rains make the road pret- ty bad out your way?” “My friends manage to get out to see me.” This was a chill rejoinder, and Wright felt he had lost several points in their game of indirection. “Locust Lawn is quite a. distahce out,” he ventured. “Not far enough to discourage my friends.” This geaded him to an apology. He regretted that she was not making it easy for him, but he forgave her be- cause he knew she did not understand. “Because I’ve been so busy, please don’t think that I’m discouraged.” “Why should I think of it at all?" she replied with spirit. Her remark hurt him, bot 1 her words and her manner of speech. If tore away his reserve and made him burqt forth in protest. “That’s not like you. Gloria. We’ve been such good friends.” “We have been good friends,” she admitted promptly. “Is there any reason, Joe, why we should not be now ? His heart beat high within him at her words. They were so direct, so honest, so like the one woman of his dreams. It grieved him that he could not be as direct with her; but that was impossible, for over them was the sinister shadow of David Kerr, her father, the boss of Belmont. “There’s no reason why we shouldn’t be good friends, Gloria. What put that idea into your head ?” “My circle of friends in Belmont seems to have grown smaller and smaller.” “Please don’t put me on the out- side.” “You seem to have put yourself there.” The conversation lagged. There was so much to think about. Gloria was seeking to reconcile his explanations with her own observations. Looking at him closely she saw that he did not have that fresh, robust look which a month ago had made him seem fit for a gladiatorial contest. As he sat in' the big ofl‘ice chair he seemed to relax with fatigue. His face was thin- ner, and there were little lines of worry about his eyes. Between his. brows and on either side his mouth were to be seen creases which the girl thought proclaimed to the world his strength of character. A month ago she had not noticed them. She had felt he was such a man, but the wrinkles, confirming her belief, could almost be called a source of joy to her. They had made away with some of the youthfulness, but in his face she now saw something which more than compensated. It had greater strength now, strength such as was written on her father's countenance. igain Gloria seemed to make a men- “You look tired.” Her low, sympa- thetic tones and her solicitous look did what nothing else could do. They melted his stern purpose to bear it all in silence for yet a few days into a desire to take her as much as he dared into his confidence. With a woman’s quick perception she would understand that he was unhappy. Her empathy and her confidence in him would nerve him to fight the "good fight as nothing else could and his heart was stirred by the possibility.” “Yes,” he admitted, “I’m tired and“ sick at heart.’ "I can’t pick up and run away like that; but I’d do it anyway if it would bring back the dear old days.” “The days I knew?” the girl made bold to as}: “The days you made soâ€"delightful." “Can thev be gone forever?” “You mua;'â€" â€"” Wright did not care to put his 119% in words. . Carried feather than she had in- tended, Gloz'ia beat a retreat by say- ing: “Why don’t you take a. vacation? Go to Europe.” “XX ho k. 0‘5 = E XX'e may meet in Paris again some day.’ “Some time' soon, I hope. I’m sick and tired of it all here, Gloria. To- day it has seemed like the game isn’t worth the candie. What do you think?” “I’m all in the ‘dark, mo,” was her confession.
