her effort to protect herself, she
forgets to steer the clar. and it
overturned in the road. Way-

found and taken to a hospital.
There she calls for Wayburn.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
LORIA was asleep when her
mother arrived at the hospi-
tal.
Mrs. Gordon and the floor nurse
sat at the foot of her bed talking
in low tones.
”She won‘t wake up for a while,"
the nurse said. “We gave her a
sleeping powder."
Gloria's mother clasped her hands
tightly together.
"You're sure she's not seriously
hurt?" she asked for the third time.
"Well. her collar bone's broken
and she's pretty well bruised." the
nurse answered. for the third time,
also. "But she's not going to die.
of course?
“Who is ‘Stan'?" she asked. after
a moment's silence. "She kept ask-
ing about ‘Stan' before she went
to sleep."

lilrs. Gordon wondered if Gloria
had been seeing Wayburn all during
her married life. She wondered if
Wayburn had been with her when
the car had been wrecked that after-
noon.
She stood up and looked at Glo-
ria‘s face.
A year ago Gloria, in her sleep.
had looked as innocent and sweet
as a baby. Mrs. Gordon had often
told herself so when she had gone
into her daughter's icon: to tuck
her up for the night. ‘
Now that look of child-like inno-
cence had gone. There was a new
and hard expression around the
beautiful mouth.
What had brought it there, Mrs.
Gordon wondered.
And as if in answer to her ques-
tion, Gloria stirred in her sleep and
murmured "Stan."

AN hour later she stirred again
and opened her eyes. She
smiled as she saw her mother.

"I guess it's pretty badly wrecked.
Your dads going to see about it in
the morning." Mrs. Gordon sn-
swered. She took the fingers of
Gloria's bandaged hand in hers.
The girl winced and drew them
away.
“Stan?" she asked, after another
long pause.
Mrs. Gordon shook her head.
“Was it Wayburn who was with
you in the car this afternoon?" she
asked.
Gloria closed her eyes. She pre-

HE‘S been seeing that Way-
burn again. I‘m sure of it!"
Mrs. Gorlon said to Gloria‘s
father that night. as they walked
home. “The nurse says she‘s been
calling for him ever since she came
into the hospital!"
“Do you think he was with her
in the car when it turned over?"
Mr. Gordon asked.
His little Gloria! His baby girl!

of woman who ran around with men
after she was married!

“I'm afraid I do." Mrs. Gordon

She wouldn‘t answer me when I
asked her about him.”

W0 weeks later Gloria was able
to sit up and have visitors. The
first of them was May Seymour.
The minute Gloria laid eyes on
May she saw that she was bursting
with bad news.
"Well, I must hand it to you for
giving the gossips the best nine-day
wonder of the year. Glory!" she said,
after she had kissed her on both
cheeks.
Gloria started.
"What do you mean, May?" she
asked. There was a. queer, sinking
feeling at her heart.

little mud stained flask, covered
with cheap leather.
"How did you happen to have this
