GLORIA'S ROMANCE (Oonttatud from U«t la sue.) <CHAPTER XVI. CONTINUED.) She rowed for the New York shore and crept toward it slowly, though the boat turned southerly so fasi that sne feared to be syept on down to the city's crowded water pavements. It was lonely out there on the dark river. Her arms ached with fatigue, her silken hands were pouching with blisters. Finally she felt the keel grate and she landed on a rocky point. She for got the little dinghey and it slipped back and danced on down the river tu some unknown fate. Gloria felt better on the firm earth and she grew angry again. She stared at the barge, now a mere smudge on the vague horizon. She whispered to herself: ‘•I'll get him yet, and he won't get away!” Gloria thought of her / father's yacht. She believed tahf it haa i»een recently put into commis sion. If only she had it now! But it was loafing at anchor in the river at her father's country home, the last she had heard of ft. To get a yacht! That was her small requirement now. She must get home to get it. She plunged along till she came to a lonely road. After a time a farmer appeared driving a wagon load of empty milk cans. Gloria envied him his throne on the high seat. He was the rich one now ano she the pauper. He called: “Have a lift, miss? How fur ye goinT' "I'm going as far as you'll take me. please.” "Get in. then, miss, and well jog along.' The farmer was naturally anxious to know what errand his guest was on. but she did not exchange information for hospitality She grew so impatient for faster progress that when the fanner came to his own lane and turned into it she was glad to get down and walk Gloria trudged till she was worn out. Ali the motors she saw seemed to be going the wrong way. When finally she heard one coming behind her she was so delighted that she turned and held out her hands. She wanted to embrace the driver for being so kind as to be going her way. Anybody looks well coming to a res cue. but the young man driving the southbound automobile was too good looking for his u<n comfort or any one else'a He accepted Gloria as a pas senger with more enthusiasm than she relished. He jumped to the grougd. lifted his hat. assisted Gloria into the front seat, and took his place beside her. He shot the car forward with a swagger and his compliments began to puff out of him. Gloria endured a number of his flatteries because she needed his motor, but she grew angrier and an grier. and when he began to call her "Cutie” she decided that his usefulness had ceased to exist. t>ne of the twain simply had to get out and walk. Glori-t was sure that it was not to be herself. She plotted carefully how to throw this rew skipper overboard. The victim helped her to an idea by leaning close io her and murmurirfg. “Kind of cozy. Cutie, huh?” "Very.” said Gloria, foaming at his impudence. "We make a great team, huh?” ‘Great." said Gloria. ■■AJI* girl,” said the youth and slid his left arm around her. Gloria laughed harshly and somt how • managed to knock the nat off her wooer's head. The wind whipped it back and the driver shut oft '.he engine and threw on his emergency brake. “So sorry.” said Gloiia. smiling in the dark. “Ass all right. Cutie.” said the young tnan. “Back in a minute.” He slid from his place and ran back along the ~oad for his hat. Gloria had I een studying his methods of running the car and comparing it with her own. As soon as the driver started back. Gloria pressed ,'the self-starter button and put the car into motion. The man heard the engine sputter and he yelled. “Hey!” thinking the gasoline to blame. He was sure that he had | forgotten to stop his engine and he was afraid that the car was running away with its pretty passenger. He ran after |t. forgetting his hat in his alarm, lest Gloria be dashed to pieces on the side: of the road. The clean way the carl leaped across the hill and the hand Gloria waved in farewell reassured nim ks to her safety, but filled him with disgust and with fear that she were teme new type of automobile thief. Gloria's conscience was clear. The young impertinent had -.med his pun ishment. The walk would do him good. Khe would restore his car to him by liunting up the owner of its number wnen she had time. If necessary her father tould buy the car. It was a nice car. Fhe loved its appetite for miles and fed It well. And finally it brought her back to her home As she ran in through the gates she almost collided with her father's car. The piercing searchlight blinded her until he heard her voice from behind It. He welcomed her to his arms and was so glad to have her safely there again that it was several mlnutec before he began to scold her. She asked him to hush, please, as »-he had no time to waste and rhe wanted to borrow his yacht and Its entire trew for awhile.

Ibf. Royce and Judge Freeman were at the house. They sat with Gloria while she told them of her adventures as she ate a hastily reassembled din ner. She said to Dr. Royce: “I am sur prised. Stephen, at your leaving me alone by myself to solve my new prob lems. Os course, you didn't know where I was going, but you usually manage to arrive in the knick of time. You ought to have been there.” “1 wish I had been there." Royc«> re plied. His heart ached at the sigh' of her beauty and at the adventurous spirit which sent her tender body into sc much danger with so few resources. “1 won't let you quit my sight again Gloria.” he said and stared with such idolatry that she felt a little afraiJ that he was loving her too well. "Then you will come along and help me to capture the man who ~illed my beloved Dick?" “All right, captain." said Royce with a plucky smile, though her aiiujion to Freneau cut him to the quick. Judge Freeman seemed to he agitated by the clan Gloria outlined for the pursuit and capture of Trask. “You must not permit this. Pierpont." he pro tested. anxiously. "Your daughter has no legal right to arrest the man Trask. If she should capture hint she wout.v have to turn him over to the authorities and she would have to face a public ex planation.” Gloria retorted with vigor: “You had him. judge, and you said that he slipped out of your fingers. Now you advise me not to go after him again. You let him escape once and want me to let him escape a second time. Why. I do not know. Why don’t you tell me why?" Judge Freeman looked away guilty. His eyes turned to Pierpont and his answer was to him and not to Gloria. “You must realize, Pierpont, that such a cruise is no place for a gtrl of Gloria’s position and breeding." “That's true,” said Pierpont. “It's all off. Gloria." “No. it isn't!” Gloria cried. “If you don’t help me to catch that fiend I'll get the police after him." “What police?” Pierpont laughed. “The local chief? He couldn't capture a snail." “The man is out of his jurisdiction, anyway," said the judge. “It would be quite a * complicated process getting the fellow arrested and he would prob ably be hard to find.” “My way is a very simple way." said Gloria. “Instead of the sending, go' That’s a good motto. But the judge will neither send nor go. and once more I want to ask him why?” . The judge was not used to being cross examined and he bore it ill. He faltered: “Some day’ you'll know and you’ll real ize that I acted for your peace of mind.” Royce saluted and waited for orders. Pierpont decided to go. Judge Freeman refused and repeated his warnings, but Gloria would not even tell him good-by She. her father and Royce went down to the yacht landing and were carried aboard in a little boat, the oars flashing in the moonlight and the sailors coming handsomely alongside. It was splendid to feel the deck under foot. Gloria, chuckled at the contrast between the yacht and the canal boat. She rejoiced in the famous speed of the engines and she could imagine the prow slicing the waves in pursuit of the lum bering barge. She was on a race horse and she was chasing an ox. But race horses are delicate giants and so are race cars and racing yachts. This sea rover declined to rove. There was en gine trouble in the works and the cap tain brought the hateful news that the yacht could not budge for several hours. Gloria was bitterly disappointed and completely baffled. “It’s the old story of the tortoise and the hare.” she grumbled. “While we are sleeping here the barge is moving along every moment. We'll never find it. It’ll get away for keeps this time.” “Never despair,” said Royce stupidly. “Don’t speak to me." said Gloria. She flounced away to the stern deck to be by herself. Then the soft breeze blew away her anger and her furies. In spite of herself she fell asleep. Her father came to urge her to go to her berth, but she refused to stir. “You'd better sell this old tub and buy a motor boat," she said. Judge Freeman looked away guilty.

Shots that are fired from guns do not often hit the the people they are fired at. The coolest target punc turer grows excited when hfs target is a man. and more excited when It is a woman. Gideon Trask was not an ex per with the rifle. He had been crazy enough to take the life of Dick Fre n«a«t —to wring it out of him with his THE ATLANTA SEMLWEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1916. hands. He thought he had escaped de tection until, with an appalling abrupt ness, Gloria Stafford—tholigh he did not know her name—charged him with the murder and declared that she had seen him commit it before her very eyes. He had not been quite crazy enough or quite wise enough to kill her then and there when she was alone and at his mercy. He thought to repear the consequences of the delay by shooting her down now that she reappeared with an armed force at her back. So he fired at Gloria where she stood in front of the pilot house demanding his sur render. They told Gloria afterwards she was brave as a veteran and faced the as sassin coolly. But she told the truth when she said that she was paralyzed with fear, so frightened that she could not even show her fright. When the muzzle of Trask’s rifle spat at her, she heard the bullet zing past her ear. She was already wondering whether she were dead or alive, whether the next one would strike where she heard the first one thwack. The pilot grunted and mumbled: “He got me!” She forgot Trask and whirled round to see the pilot fall across his' own wheel. The yacht wavered and swerved in its course. Gloria was the nearest to the pilot house. She had been a pupil of the pilot only a few minutes before. She ran to him, lifted him aside and seized the wheel by its projecting spokes, just in time to keep the yacht from crashing into the barge at full speed. She made a sharp turn, the yacht swerved and ground along the side of the barge. Gloria meanwhile was alarmed more for the life of the pilot than her own. She began to call “Stephen! Doctor Royce!” But Doctor Royce was too busy to hear her call. His Immediate interest was not in a wounded man, but in wounding a man. When he saw that Trask was aiming his rifle at Gloria again, his whole being thrilled with a ferocity unknown to him before. To save Gloria from being hurt he would have massacred a hundred Trasks. Trask was heavy and his agony seemed to increase upon him when, the desperate necessity of swim ming was over. He fainted the moment his dripping body was stretched out, and Dr. Royce had, as it were, to save his life twice, first to bring him back from the swoon of pain, and then to bring him back from the annihilation of his shattered machinery. , Meanwhile, Jed was locked in a fero cious wrestle with the Captain of J. Pierpont's yacht, who called the engi neer to his aid. As the engineer told Pierpont, "I had to knock him senseless before 1 could knock any sense Into him.” And now Nell Trask, who had turned from one battle to another, tearing now at Royce and now at the captain, recov ered from the stupor with which she had watched her father’s disaster, and, leaping over the yacht, knelt by him. calling to him with wild appeals and threatening Royce as his slayer. Gloria came running down from the upper deck and stood gazing at the re sult of her work with utter dismay Trask was crushed and perhaps killed. Jed was unconscious, and Nell seemed to have gone out of her mind. Gloria felt that her head was covered with blood guilt. The sobs of Nell were heart-breaking. Gloria forgot all her resentments against Nell and her father. She forgot that Nell had kept her prisoner. She saw only that Nell was a motherless daughter who saw her father dying She caught the girl in her arms, held her in spite of her resistance, murmur ing: "Forgive me, you poor child! It’s all my fault, but we won’t let your fath er die. Dr. Royce is a splendid physi cian. He saved my life. He will save your father’s. You can trust him.” Nell also forgot all other emotions in that one necessity for hope. She turned eyes of prayer on Dr. Royce and beat him on the shoulder with imploring ■ C-i-j Overworked ■ IS® Women hL \ £*> U’ Z?| = There is a never ceasing treadmill of work in " I the modern woman’s home; ambition to keep the I Sul-*" \ll == ' house neat and attractive, the children well dressed / 3J 1| and the family well fed and the constant struggle I iMil cooking, washing, ironing, dusting, mending and iXM sewing, to say nothing of social duties, often bring on some feminine disorder; physical weakness de- I —n —\\ ~ ve^°Ps an d ever y day becomes a period of misery. | ill/ \y To thousands of such women /v f/ Lytlia E1 Pinllliam ' s Vegetable Compound 11/ / j ilnrlllll I''''mW I / as brought health and strength and happiness.

It was not Royce, but, doubtless, nature that brought back Trask to con sciousness. Royce received the credit and the gratitude. however, when Trask's eyes opened and his tortured lips moved. Nell and Gloria were overjoyed at the miracle, but Royce was the more alarm ed the more he studied Trask's body with fingers searching everywhere and finding everywhere the hints of broken bones and internal lacerations. He pre tended none the less to be confident, for the sake of all three, Trask and Nell and Gloria. A bucket of water restored Jed roughly to what wits he had. He caine up yelling, as if the fight had not been interrupted. They had to lie him up to keep him from continuing the war. It had taken this much time for the tug boat to round upon its course and come alongside the barge. The crew had watched the scrimmage with im patient envy. Tney came aboard now ready for carnage. They were armed witlf weapons of every sort, and with zest for blood. The yacht crew gathered itself to meet the onset of these re-en forcements. Now came the opportunity of Pierpont Stafford to use some of the heaviest ar tillery of battle —finance. He was too old and too little used to fisticuffs to at tack roustabouts with blow for blow. He put up the shield of his pocketbook. The captain of the tugboat led his little army forward in a wedge, demanding with tugboat emphasis: “What kind of pirates are youse. any how, and what you beatin’ up the old man fur? For two cents I'd—” Pierpont answered: “That’s what I want to know. What would you do for two cents?" “I’d t'row de whole bunch of youse into de river." "I see.” said Pierpont. "?nd what would you charge not to?” This stumped the captain. He could not quite make out Pierpont's drift. As he pondered. Pierpont gave him a chance to look into the depths or a wallet full of bills of a size and number that had not been seen hitherto In his circle. Pier pont kept moving the bills under the tugboat captain s very nose. They had the effect of catnip on a cat. The cap tain began to purr, also to reach out for the money. o “Let us understand the transaction, said Pierpont. “This man Thrask Is wanted on a serious charge. He ha<.

You take the barke on up the river ajid deliver It to the consignee. Is that the agreement?” “That's the agreement, sir,” said the captain, "pervidin’ I’m took care of proper.” “Would those take care of you?” askefl Pierpont, holding out two bills. “What does C stand for?” asked the captain. “I can only count up to double “C stands for a hundred,” Pierpont ex plained. “Two C*s will just about take care of me, sir,” said the captain. As soon as he touched the bill he touched his hat. called his crew back to the tug and set forth once more on hs twice inter rupted cruise. Pierpont ordered Jed re leased to care for the barge. He asked Nell to go with him, but she preferred to stay with her father, at Gloria’s invi tation. Nell was sullen with Gloria, but Gloria was neither surprised nor resentful. She would have thought les of Nell if she had been too easily placated by her father’s persecutors. Trask was no more responsive to Royce's ministrations. He was bewildered with pain and terrified by his captivity. He was as little grateful as a Hon that has teen trapped and bound. To Royce he was doubly a mystery, both as a patient and as a criminal. If he were guilty of murdering Frenau. then his life belonged to tne state, and It was Royce’s curious duty, as a citi zen' physician, to save Trask’s life so that the state might take it. Royce had done what he could to keep Gloria from investigating the murder. He had Hed to her, knowing that Fre neau had been killed by spme person from some motive unknown to him. He had told Gloria that her account of wit nessing the murder was only a delir ium. He had lost her confidence and her respect, and they were precious to him. He did not know that Gloria was tormented by a dual emotion toward him. one of suspicion and rancor, one of gratitude and affection. Gloria was helpless in the quarrel of her emotions.

While Gloria was at a little distance Royce was questioning Trask in a low tene, trying to persuade him to speak the truth, warning him that he might not have a long opportunity to unbosom himself of his crime. But Trask's mouth, distorted with suffering, W’as also twisted with a sneer of hate. He would not even answer Royce’s ques tions. Pierpont had drawn Gloria to one side, and he said: “Well, now that you’ve got your man, what are you going to do with him?” , “Find out why he killed Dick," Glo ria said, “and then turn him over to the police.” "In spite of all the publicity?” Pier pont asked. “Ln spite of all the publicity.” said Gloria. Pierpont gave up the fight. He loath ed the prospect of a newspaper scan dal, but if it had to come he must brace himself to endure it. He had done all that he could legitimately do, and more than that to thwart the police, and now the necessities of the law compelled him to give the law the right of way or sur fer the consequences. He resolved to turn Trask over to Judge Freneau as a representative of the law and let the judge assume the future responsibility. When the yacht reached the country house at length, Pierpont sought for Judge Freneau. He had left the house. Pierpont w’ould have sent Trask on after him, but he was too weak to be moved further. Besides. Royce was insistent in giving Trask the full benefit of his medical and surgical know'ledge, and asked for a guest room to lodge him in. Now Trask was stupified indeed.

And they had installed him in a luxurious cham ber in a palace. And his daughter was established in an adjoining room whose fittings would have satisfied a princess. They almost terrified the poor habitant of a canal boat. Royce decided to motor into the city to fetch his surgical instruments and bring out his assistant. While he was gone Gloria stole into Trask's room to question him. but he had passed into a state between sleep and coma, ajid she aared not trouble him. She found that Nell had fallen asleep, too.
