Into his arms, bolding her close to

“ Why did yoo leave roe?" asked
Gloria petulantly. “ So long.“
He had been away from her fifteen
minutes—and to Gloria the time bad
seemed long! Little enough o f love'a
confession, surely, but a golden crumb
to a man’s starving love. He drew
her closer.
“ O h !“ cried Gloria. She wrenched
away from him violently. "You—you
hurt me. I.et me g o !“ She burled
her face In her hands; he saw her
shoulders lift snd droop: he beard
her sob: “Oh. I was a fool—"

and be stood for a moment speechless,
staring at her as across a chasm
shadow-filled.
“Gloria." he said, bewildered.
But now aer hands, too. were at her

white face was lifted and she broke
out passionately Into hot words; he
saw her breast heaving and sensed
that she was stirred to depths never
until now plumbed. What be mold
not glimpse were the vague, unrea
sonable reasons, the distorted horrors
grinning at her among the spaces of
black gloom Into which her spirit had
sunk; his comprehension found never
a clew to a condition which In Gloria
was hardly other than an Inevitable
result of all that bad gone before.
