TWENTIETH INSTALLMENT.
The mystery of mysterie. the mys
tery that envelops every other. , it the
mystery of life and its negative, death.
Pierpont Stafford v had given his.
daughter, Gloria what the penniless
Jnsk had given his 'daughter Nell,
life, the tame all beginning, all neces
sary gift of Judge Freeman to his
daughter Lois. -, .. ; ' -
. Through the existences of these
three daughters Richard Freneau had
wandered like a handsome Don Juan,
wrapping each in romance and grief,
as in acrfhiion cloak with a black
lifting. At Palm Beach he had flirted
with Lots Freeman and won the child
heart of Gloria Stafford. Gloria's
father had wisely snatched her away
.from his spell and sent her to school
for five years before she should enter
the school of life. ' '
In that long interlude Dick Fre
neau's frivolous heart had gone but
terflyine hither tni yon. In his hum-
Ubler days as a broker's clerk he met
Nell irask, whose pretty lace was ner
only fortune,! and the cause of her
misfortune. Freneau had dealt sacri
lege to the power of life and left Nell
a mother with no wedding ring.
In his later prosperfty as a winner
and loser of fortunes he had forgotten
Nell and turned tor more gorgeous
creatures, such as Lois. Her he had
won away from tht sacraments of her
wedding ring, 'And then Gloria drift
ed back into his life like a white dove,
and .he .felt that he had never loved
till now. What the .result of such a
union might have been no -one was
ever to know., for Gloria fell ill, and
merely to breathe became the one
great problem witu her. -
Perhaps the torments of pain and
the terrors of delirium she underwent
in that Ions battle were less than the
pangs she would have had to endure.
as the wite ot freneau, tor ne naa an
the graces and none, of the severities
of character. Gloria had known only
kits charms when she saw him mur
dered before her window. , She had a
long battle to persuade her people
that she even saw the deed. Her doc
tor, Stephen Royce, persisted in de
claring that what, she witnessed was
the fiction 6fhej imagination. : ;
With great, difficulty she had
learned a few truths. She had over
taken Trask only to be.tpld that she
had, better let him go since hisveon
fession would involve - her brother
David.' ' She had refused to believe
that David had taken, justice into his
own hands, and like an ancient Indian
hirrl s hravo i to assassinate his
enemy. Trask alone could cleat David
ot that charge or lasten it on mm.
And, Tnask'had vanished. - i
. Dr. Royce hacT done all he could to
kdep Gloria from piercihg the veil
about the,3rime. But now that she
had learned part of Freneau's du
plicity he was ready to help her learn
all the:truth. He was eager to. know
it hmiself. ' ' ' ': ,- '
When she told him that; Trask had
been carried off, he saidy "They can't
carry him far without killinarhim. He
is doomed anyway; I'm- afraid. W
must find him soon or there will be
nothing , to find."
He spoke a truth that Trask him
self was beginning to. realize. The hu
man fram. .ia nnt built to serve as a
buffer betweenyachts and barges, and
Trask t frame wa4 wrecked witnin- nis
flesh by his accident. His fear of jus
tice had made him consent to the ef
fort to escape. from the-Stafford house
but the judge's1 automobile, had not
Mn. fat when h was' xomDelled to
beg that it run more slowly. .Finally
it grew plain to mm mat ne wan auuui
to escape from earthly judgment and
punishment altogether. He had noth
ing to fear from the pohce or the
wearers of the black robe. He began,
to fear the more what higher courts
awaited hint. He ' dared not enter
those tribunals' with a burden Jon his
soul. : ., '. ' ,
Suddenly' He 'felt that Gloria, who
had been his tormentor aridt bis en
emy, waslhe one person on earth who
could give him comfort.. Suddenly he
began to cry out that he wanted to be
taken back to her. led and Nell and
the chauffeur thought him mad, but
they were afraidtof hifa. He held the
uncanny weapon of the power to die.
"He'll be dying on us," the chauf
feur said, s he checked' the car and
began to turn X round. He had a su
perstitioSs fear, of thwarting a man t
last wish. He was not afraid of any
thing else, but.e was in a panic lest
Trask should die in his car. He paid
little heed to Trask't gspans and made
all speed to the Stafford home.
Royce had just taken Gloria into his
car to set forth on a hunt for Trask
when . Judge . Freeman's motor
brought him back. Judge Freeman
saw the meeting and he was .covered
with chagrin. ,He saw that Gloria
recognized his chauffeur, and she
threw him i look of reprbach, but she
was too much absorbed I in Trask's
needs o reproach him. .
- To Gloria's 1 astonishment, when
Trask was lifted from the car he did
not glare at her, but put his hand out
to her. '
' "He's got a lot He wants to tell
you," Nell explained. , 1
Royce motioned for one of the re
clining chairs to be brought from the
sun parlor and Trask 'waa placed in
it. When they .started to take him
into the house, however, he shook His
head and moaned: "No, no; leave me
out under tjie sky over where there's
flowers." " '
It is strange how the suffering of
an enemy pleads and prays for him.
Gloria was distracted with sympathy
for Trask, and her heart ached for
him as for an old friend in distress.
She had the servants carry him to a
flower-walled nook where the breeze
was spicy and there was shade with
out gloom.
Judge Freeman watched the group
and an idea came to him. He stepped
into the house and motioned to Pier
pont Stafford's secretary to bring his
note pad and pencil.
''Is it a dictation?" the secretary
asked.
"Yes," said the judge, "but it's be
yond mine. It's possibly the final
statementof a dying man and it may
have legaf importance." ' "
He led the secretary back of ' the
arbor, where he could hear without
being seen.' The secretary did, not
relish such eavesdropping, but the
judge kept him to the work.
There' was 'tome delay , in making
Trask as easy as possible, and Royce
sent for his medicine case that he
might keep him from a sudden col
lapse. Trask grew impatient voth the
delay and clutched at Gloria, . mum

Gloria winced-aT the insult to her
dead.' but she. made no protest.
Trask held her, with lean fingers that
hurt as he dragged her close.
"You said you se'en me kilf that
man.i What was 'he to you?"
' Gloria flushed as she, sighed:' "I
loved him. We were engaged to be

Traslc ' chbckled gruesomely. ' "I
thought likely. I guess I lone you a
service gittin' rid of him. He was
engaged to my girl first, misty. He
promised to marry, her. He told me
he was goin' to marry her and He
allowed he'd come right, back. But
he never did. ,
"You see I used to be a bargeman,

"I ketched him with his arm 'round
Nell and, I was goin' to beat him up.'
Wisht I ilyid. But he says they were
engaged. So I wished 'enVwefl, Nell
bein' happy as all get out. Then he
comes, gets a, telegram to go
back to the city. He never comes
back, never writes. : Seemed like Nell
took on more'n she ought to' and by
and by I knew why. t , .
"Her Maw didn't get any better

afterwards havin' Nell goin' crazy

"I got over bein' mad at Nell, and
we come away from there 'before the
baby was born. ' I 'took up the barge
business again and didn't have much
time for lookin' up Mister Freneau.
When I found him by accident it was

no, he wouldn't, He jest laughed at
her and told her to go on away.

want anything but that feller's life. I
put out after him and always jest

too, but' the judge kept silence and
so did Gloria on her, tide of the
flower screen. . v .
Gloria was not concerned about
Trask's bewilderrnent. She was star
ing at the little baby that Nell carried
always in her arms. ; Her last spark
of love for Freneau died out-of her
soul, leaving it utterly dark. There
was not enough embers left to flare
'with jealousy. She was restless to
nave aone wun rreneau iorever.
.When Trask aooealed for her for
giveness If he had caused her anv
pain, she gave it freely. Her bitter-
heart felt that Trask had done a
cleansing -task in removing Freneau
from the earth. .-.
Trask sank back exhausted and his
hand relaxed its hold on her. Then
she left him to the ministrations of
Doctor Royce, who whispered to her
that she had better not linger to the
last. He sent her away; She went to
her room in a loneliness more pro
found than she hAd ever felt. She
had not even a defd love for companr.
lOnship now, she tpund the photo

curled with aisgustaE tne Kisses sue

In her wrath she broke it to pieces.
and laying the; fragments in the
empty fireplace, set a match to them,
She watched them burn and flung1
herself across the bed; weeping mad
ly, sne wept nersen to exnausnon
and finally to sleep. It was a troubled
sleep with a hideous .vision of Fren
eau in infernal flames that mounted
ahnut him aa the flames had danced
around his photograph, only they did'
not consume hitr. i . ,
He put his arms out to her through
the flames, appealing for pardon. She
heard htm say: Gloria.' I had re
pented of my evil ways and vowed to
mend them, hut I was struck down
before I could. iForgive mel"
.She answered, him harshly) "Ask
Nell, not me. 'Come back and undo
the evil you did." J '
He sighed: "If. I only could. There
is only .one evi) that can be undone.
I stole your love from a man who
loved you before I did. and loves
you still. Give him your heart, Gloria.
Uive him your heart, Oloria Ulo
r.i-a'" . ' . , -
His voice died away at tht vision of
him faded and she woke, she wept
again to think of he pity of life and
death and love, and her heart melted
S. little toward Freneau.
She bathed heit eyes and went out
into the hall. There she found, Nell
Trask weeping inconsolaply. Her fa
ther was dead. Gloria tookthe girl
into her arms and tried to think of
consolations where there were none.
Her anger raged again at Freneau,'
whose treacheries were to blame Mr
everything. The man Jed, hearing
Nell weep', came .blundering into the
house and up the stairs and claimed
her from Gloria's arms, saying:
"Leave her to me, miss. She belongs
to me. She told me all you hfard to
day a long while ago. I love her just
the same, or more, maybe. And I'll
take good care of her and the baby,
It's a nice baby; it ain't to blame.
I'll take good care of the baby, miss,
and Ner!, too."
Gloria surrendered the girl to him
and saw that Nell leaned heavily upon
his strong, encircling arms. . ' ,
Gloria left them together and went
down to the living room. There she
TraskJ found Judge Freeman. The haggard-
ness seemed to have left his ancient
face. He spoke to her: !
"I heard what Trask told you. i I
never, waa so glad or so proud to 'be
proved wrong. I owe David a humble
apology." -
"Will you make it, to h)m?
"No, pot for the world. The most
profound apologies we make to people
are the silent ones they never hear. I
could not apologize to David without
telling him what I apologized for, and
tnat i could never Ho. Mis is going
to be a good wife to him. She, ought
to have her chance to build up their
life together. Have you the heart to
tear their home1 to pieces now? Have
yon the right?" - .
oloria answered drearily: I haven t
lh strength. That's about all I
know," . '
She walked out upon the lawn
where the sunset was adding almost
intolerable beauty to the majesty of
the river and the P.alisadeS. The vast
old peak. th relentless judges, were
being softened into a tenderness by

splashifig fountain whose waters were

last rites oi old I rask.' ! ,
"Is your heart at pence at last,
Gloria?" he murmured. '
"At peace, no!" she gasped, 'it is
all in chaos." , .,
"About Freneau, 1 mean."
"No, I ha,te hi now or at least
trying to." 1 .
Don't hate him, Gloria. DofVt
hate him." v . ' , ,
"You ask that?"
"Yes', for how was he to blame? He
tvas born what he was; be went the
way his nature drove-him. He had
little help from women except to be
what' he was. He paid a hideous price
for the wrong he, did." -, .
"Don't you hale hint?" " J , !
"No."' - " .
"Or anybody.'! .v V " '
"No. Hate is not only unchristian,

What more .might have been said
there was no telling, for Aunt Hort
tentia came buttling down the lawn
with a yard length of cginmittee lists
and tasks for Gloria. Before her
tempest of garrulity, Royce took
flight. Gloria was keot on the run for
days and nights. . She worked as only
rich women work when some orgy of
charity is ort foot. A . V- ,
Gloria in turn'kept everyone in her
neighborhood scampering. Her rather,
her father s secretary, even ner prom
er't wife, she made ute of.
' Lois responded to the lath with an
enthusiasm that surprised 'Gloria, She'

The nlana for the Polish fete were

. In his researches among the picture

him all about it. He decided that she
should be the pled piper, and he
would organize an' army of children
for her to. pipe away. .She kissed him
for the intpiratien and that event was
one of the succettet of the afternoon.
Mobs pf. people- thronged the Stafford
estate on the afternoon.Tjf the festival
and tt roads outside were quadruply
lined with automobiles.'.
. There was no hesitation about em;
?loying -piratical methods of extorting
rom the rich as much money at they
had been recklest enough to bring
with them. . The hollow eyes of the
rsgged ttarvelingt of Poland would
have filled with wonder if they eoud
have aeen in far-off America the well-
fed, silk-clad aristocrats' reveling tn
their behalf. It was a strange way of
getting food tor the hungry,' but it
wis the fashion of the day,, and most
important-of all, it accomplished itt
purpote. , i -d
The world Was - so 1 packed ' with
tragedy and to"hounded,with cries for
pity that it took something more than
sorrow to wheedle funds from the
weary public. It took beauty add
entertainment Gloria furnished these,
in full measure at her festival. In her
raggei doublet and hose, with her
feathered cap atilt, she danced and
piped, and the children followed about
the lawn with a -moving audience till
ahe led her little army into the great
cave mar. fcrponi nau urucrcu cun1
structed in one of his hills, I
The mothers left behind pretended
to weep for their lost ones, and they
begged the pied piper to return, so
Gloria, contra'ry to tradition, came
back from the cave, and, surrounded
by her kidnaped' trpop, bowed and
bowed, : . ,
Gloria was good and tired when the
last of the spectators had gone home
impoverished. She stretched herself
out on the divan in the living room
and felt her old loneliness come back
upon her. Her task was done and she
was, of no more use to the world, for,
of course, her father had pointed out
to her that her project to take the
funds to Poland in person was a beau
tiful impossibility. There were several
million soldiers between hjr and
Poland, and the price of the voyage,
even if she could make it, would buy
several thousands of loaves of bread.
She was in to forlorn a humor that
when Dr. Royce took a chair close to
her and poured forth his praises, she
accepted them .hungrily. . He was en
couraged to the wildest hopes by her
response and he kept hunching his
chair closer and closer. :
' His head was almost touching hers
when her father had come into the,
room with the proceedt pf the festi
val. There, were baskets of bills and
boxes of coin and the total was thou
sands of dollar. ' , ?
Royce fell, back disheartened. He
had forgotten how rich Gloria was,
and how poor in comparison was even
his success. - He had been on the
point of telling her how long and how
deeply he had loved her, but he felt
that such a declaration would only be
a presumptuous folly. ' -,
Gloria could not wad his thoughts,
but she knew that be had suddenly
chilled and shortly after he was gone.
And then she knew how much she .
milted him. She was tempted to fall
ill again so that 'she might summon
hint to wait' upon her once more.
But her health, which had broken
down when she was in the first flush
of her affair with Freneau (for "af-,
fair" was what she called' it now),
held up splendidly when she felt tick
at heart and weary of life, 1;
For some reason which he did nbt
make plain largely because his ex
cuse was artificial Doctor Royce

that he could, neither endure the lack
of Gloria nor .find a plausible reason

bled bis reason inarticulately.
He talked' very earnestly about
nothing at all and kept -saying that
he must go, but did not go.. At length
he really started, and Gloria felt that
she was being marooned once more
on the 1 dull waste of life. She
firetended to swoon. He heard her
ittle gatp and saw her toppling over "
on a carefully selected soft spot He
ran to her in great alarm, tried her
pulse and found if normal, chafed her
hand and fo'und it warm., He waa be
wildered, ' The symptoms and the
condition did not jibe ' . -Gloria
opened one eye and watched
him ' unbeknownst He let go her
hand and walked the floor. -
She sat up in disgust, demanding.
"Don't you know what is the matter ,
with me)" .-,
He. shook hit head meekly.
She cast her eyes up jm despair and
said: "I'm afraid you're too stupid
a doctor to keep in , the family.
Good-bye!" v ' ' - v

She looked at him with despair Mn
her eyes and nodded ' her head. ,4-
"I, said 'in the family!'" she said. '
And, "Oh !" said he, '
Then he stared at tier so, hard that

the change eome over his face from
bewilderment to an eager guess, to
