GLORIA

Gloria was so light hatred and fleet

like an elusive bit of thistledown.

; had heard so much from grandmoth

concerning the desirability of this
same dignified young man as a future
husband, that she was in revolt ut the
possibility.
To Gloria, families of old and un
questioned standing or circumstances
of like unquestioned stability were
matters of indifference. She had come
to enjoy in full the. novel exnevience
of country life, and the sweet old ex
perience of occupying the verv room
that her own mother had occupied in
her far-away girlhood. After that,
Gloria wanted to go back to her fa.
thcr. The mother, whose picture on
the wall, was so like herself, had died
before she might even become a memory.
Father Bob, Gloria preferred to rail
him "Bob," had cared for her In child-
nood as tenderly as that mother might
have done, and had sent her later with
tears In his eyes away from him to
school. ' And though Bob's money was
hard won. Gloria never lacked for
the things that her associates enjoyed.

merely as a time when she would be

grandmother's home. Gloria was
grieved at Bob's desertion. Tt was
difficult for her to see the unselfish
ness of his plan. When Mrs. Everton
Blaine learned of her son's lnfntn
atlon for the little stranger, she was
distressed
Mrs. Blaine remembered Gloria's
mother as a graceful vounir nerson
who had married out of town, and
gone away, never to return. Everton

there before him, her blonde head

The blonde bend bent to rest
against the gray tweed shoulder.
"I love you both," Gloria said, "but
I must be true to Bob.
"Good bye, Everton."
Then Everton lUalne, smiling his
vast relief, put forth hU hand to
Gloria's father.
"Why should it be good hje, dear

A man can get a heap more
satisfaction fromasmall chew
of this class of tobacco, than
he ever could get from a big
chew of the old kind.
I le finds it costs less, too. The
good tobacco taste lasts so
much longer he doesn't need
to have a fresh chew nearly
as often.
