swamped him with debts for her

She becomes inlatuatod with

New York. Gloria follows lllln.
He spunls hcr, telling her that
he has Just married a Russian
actress. Then Gloria tries to
land a Job as a choms girl and
falls. Dist-enraged. she comes
home to Dick.
He takes her back. but not as

that time. But next morning
she teams that he was at the
house of DR. JOHN SEYMOUR.
who had killed himself because
of the love strair between his
wife MAY and Jill! CAREWE.
Gloria goes to Dick’s office to
tell him about the robbery. and
to make one last attempt to win
him again. Dick is out. and
Gloria has a long talk with Miss
Briggs. She accuses Miss Briggs
of being in love with Dick.
wow (it) ON WITH THE STORY)
lSS BRIGGS stood up then. and
faced Gloria.
The flush in her cheeks had
gone. and her eyes were the cold
blue of a Polar lake.
"What right have you to say such
a thing to me?" she asked.
Glo'ria's laugh was taunting.
“Well. it's the truth. isn't it? You
are in love with Dick, aren't you?"
she said.
She could see Miss Briggs‘ hieast
heave under her plain blue dress.
“What if I am?" she asked. “I'd
never lot him know it! It wouldn't
hurt anyone. . . ."
She seemed to be lost in thought
for a moment. Then her eyes
flashed with spirit.
“I am in love with him-you may
as well know it!" she cried. "I do
care about him!" .
Gloria wouldn't have believed that
such a tone could have been wrung
from the sedate and proper lilies
‘ Briggs. It was vibrant with tender-
ness.
Gloria blinked with surprise. She
couldn't imagine Miss Briggs telling
' her secret to the wife of the very
man she loved. There must be
something back of it. . . . Perhaps
~Dick loved her. And she knew it.
and didn't care who also knew it!
“And Dickf—Is he in love with
you?" Gloria asked. “Does he make
love to you down here in this ofiice
when you’re alone with him all day?"
A queer t spression of disgust went
over Miss Briggs' white face.
"Oh. no!" she said. "I wouldn't
care for him if he were that kind of
a man! . . .. I'm just the woman
who works for him. And I'm con-
tented to be just that—for him."
The whole spirit of her love for
him was in the words. They tilled
Gloria with pity for her.
“lilies Brigs." she said. “I'm truly
sorry for you. .. t» You’d rather
hoped to marry Dick all those years
when he was a. bachelor. hadn't
you?"
Miss Briggs smiled a wry little
smile that twisted her mouth up at
one corner. '
"I suppose I had, without quite
knowmg it." she said. "Oh. let's
stop talking about it: .. .. .you'll
never speak of it to Mr. Gregory,
will you? Please. I’d die of shame!"
"We—cl. I’m not so sure you

There was a musty smell in the
rooms. The house needed a thorough
airing. on well an a good cleaning.
Gloria threw the windows wide
open and went llpstdirs. She took
00' her hat and went to work.
All the soiled linen came off the
beds. She made them up fresh and
smooth. She hung a neat row of
towels: in the bathroom, and scoured

She began to enjoy her job. it
was rather fun to dash around from
room to room banging the ashes
the tray on Dick's bedside
table, slapping up the pillows on the
window seat in the room where Dick
uni banished her. ‘
She would show Dick that she
really did mean to be a good wife
to him . . . and he would take her
back into his heart. again.
It was perfectly silly for them to
live apart this way. under the suns
roof. And unnatural. besides.
”And if Dick ever brings up Stan
Wayburn again. I'll accuse him of
being in love with Miss Briggs."
Gloria said to herself. "I'll tell him

That'll shut him up. quick enough!’
The more she thought about Miss
Briggs the more firmly Gloria do
I‘ldod to tell Dick he‘d have to send

LORIA ran downstairs. She
hosted the water in the kitchen
tank and washed up the dishes
in the sink. She scoured it out. and
mapped the floor. It didn't look
much better when she had finished
than when she began . . . but it
had the strong. pungent smell of a
good cleaning, anyway. That was
something. At least Dick could tell
that she had been at work on it! He
could see that she was trying her
best to be a housekeeper.
That, if anything, ought to melt
him!
At five o'clock Gloria ran upstairs
and bathed.

afternoon cleaning up a house.

sheer clenuncss. And all around her
hung the old fragrance of mimosa-
llowcr that had always turned Dick's
head.
She was Gloria at her loveliest ,5 ,
hcr most alluring.
when she heard Dick's key in the
lock she ran downstairs to him, on
winged feet.
“1 was just going out to buy some
things for our supper." she said to
him with an adorable'emiie. "l've
i so busy all (lay that i forgot to
phone the grocer."
Her voice was as natural and
sweet as if it had never uttered a
~l'uei word. It implied that she and
Dick were the best friends in the
world.
“The stores are all closed at this
time of night. and you know it,"
tic said to her. “Don't stall. . . .,
