A ring on the finger is a badge of
slavery that women are generally
proud to wear, especially when il is
an engagement ring, with a sparke
of diamonds like the price mark of
a princess, saying. ' See how much 1
cost I" or ' he must love me a lot to
have spent so much money on this
diamond advertisement."

r.'rrW-i on (jlona s finger she had"
laughed with joy dver it. never
dreaming that he had houglit it on
credit and mentioned her name as
security, and still less dreaming that
lie had not yet freed himself from
the rmg'ess engagement to Lois.
When Freneau died the gems that
had looked !o Gloria like jeweled
laughter beenne teardrops of undy
ing grief S ic had ta!:en a dismal
pleasure in kissing l!ie riii. and talk
ing to it as to her lest lover. .When
her tender heart yielded to tl.e jeal
ousy of her fat'.ier and .to his au
thority ud she surrendered the ring
to him her finger see.ncd to be sud
denly naked and ashamed of itself.
Her father's delight in his victory
became only selt'ij.incsa and an aLuse
of parental co.itro!.
lier very finger ached to have its
ring back and she determined to go
to her father and demand it. S.ie
went down the stairway to his library
with a resolute step. She marcucd
in upon him. He looked lonesome
in his big dark room at his game
of solitaire. Ker mother had been
dead for years and the little girl and
boy he had raised had outgrown him.
David v.as married and living in an
other house. Gloria had planned to
leave him. She had as it were packed
u i her heart for departure. In her
own loneliness she understood his.
, The look of determination in her face
changed to one of pity. She felt more
.like her father's mother than like
rebellious daughter. She decided to
postpone the quarrel tor the ring ot
a few minutes.
He had not heard her, so she
coughed. The look of joy that bright-
' ened his eyes when they rested on her
filled her with tenderness. He pushed
back his cards and opened hit arms
to her. She ran to him and seated
herself on the arm of his chair, em-

"I'm going to take you home at

She answered with more ice: Im

Mulrv's usual smile was twistedN
into a look of terror. He had more
reasons than even Royce suspected
for wishing to keep the searchlight of
the nress and the police court out of

The riddle maddened her with its un
certainties. That visit of Lois to Mulry's office
seemed to involve her in Freneau's
duplicity. Lois had confessed to steal
ing the photograph of Freneau. She
had said that she -planned to have a
miniature made for Gloria. But this
seemed now to be only a hasty ex
cuse, a desperate lie to' hide a dis
covered theft. She decided to ques

decided not to go. Now she decided

house to tell her to.
