GLADY'S STORY
OUR sister la downstairs," said
Rex. "I've put her In charge of
the woman In the dressing-room,
who has taken her Into a small
salon, which Is empty. She Is very
much upset. Go down to her at
once."
He caught Laurie's arm, as she
swayed, almost fainting In her re
lief. "Steady!" he said gently. "You
mustn't give way. Walt for me
downstairs. I won't be long."
As she hurried out, trembling,
she saw Ilex Moore advancing on
Jimmy Dallas with murder In his
eyes.
Gladys was weeping quietly In the
simple, unrestrained misery of a
tired child. The tears rained down
In a curtain. She had evidently
changed her clothes before her flight
the night before. She wore a light
blue muslin frock and a thin crepe
coat over It, and a darker blue
crochet cap on her glorious curls.
The dress and coat were crumpled,
and looked sorry finery.
Her whole aspect was bedraggled,
like a flower that someone has
broken off Its stem and flung away.
She had lost all her defiance; the
Rex advanced on Jimmy
note of gay selfishness had gone.
Thero was no trace of sullen resist
ance In the exquisite, tear-drenched
fav.
l..:urio took hor In her arms,
thanking the drosslng-room attend
ant and Intimating that she. could
go. The little salon led out of a
writlug-roora. Nobody was likely to
disturb them at this late, or, rather
early hour.
"Glad Glad! My little one, don't
cry!" soothed Laurie, like a mother.
"You've nothing to cry about now.
I've found you, darling; that's all
that matters. You're quite safe with
me. And Rex Is hero. Rex found
you, Glad. He's wonderful. I'm so
happy. I can think of nothing now
that you're safo."
THE! girl cried a little more, but
not for long. In the atmosphere
of love and selfless devotion with
which her sister had always sur
rounded ber, she soon rocoverod her
self. But It was a stricken soul that
looked out of the groy-blue eyos.
Glad's heart had been sorely
wounded, but her self-assurance had
received a more crushing blow still.
She had thought horself so strong,
so Independent. She had Imagined
she could have plenty of fun, and
not pay for 1U She had put her
faith In man In the shape of Jimmy
Dallas. And she had had a nasty
tumble from the dizzy height of ro
mance and adventure Into the mire
of crass reality,
"Laurie, I'm so wretched!" she
said. In a voice hoarse front fatigue
and fright "1 thought be loved me.
I was crazy about him. And now
you'll hate and 4apla me. And I
loathe myself for being susfe a fool."
"Don't talk Ilka that Olad!" said
Laurie. And now ber Urel-hoadsd-nojf
realed Itself, .snd she apokt
In e.n.:et businesslike way.
"Brrtn:n is all right I hs7e seen
Mr. !. and I know that he

"Laurie, he can do something to
me 1 can't tell you what!" Glad
confessed, shaking In a sudden
paroxysm of fear and shame. "When
I'm with him, I can't even think of
myself. I didn't know what I was
doing. Now it seems It can't have
been me who came here with him,
and lied to you, and made poor Nelly
so miserable, by telling her she must
keep my secret."
"Never mind, darling," said
Laurie. "It's all right now."
But Gladys had to unburden her
poor llttlo heart.
"Now 1 know 1 never believed In
him at all," she repeated In i
strangled voice. "I Just wanted to
be with him anyhow. It was all my
fault, Laurie. I led him on to think
that I knew what be meant And I
thought 1 did.
"But when we were back again
here last night, after she show and
the supper I Just knew that I had
been all wrong. I didn't want Just
a good time. I didn't want to be

made a silly scene. ! knew what I'd

LAURIE sat with her sister's
hands clasped In hers. She did

"What did you do, darling?"
"I don't know. It was very late
you know. I had to get a porter tc
lot me out of the hotel. But It wasn't
dark long. I got to the river and I
thought I'd throw myself In. You
soo, I'm crnzy nhotit Jimmy, and I
didn't want to live any longer. I
Just didn't
"But I was frightened and people
looked nt mo so quoorly. Oh, Laurie,
there were such dreadful people
wandering about by the river! 1 fell
like I did whon I wna 111 In Sydney. I
think I must have had fever."
"But all today?" Laurie asked.
"What havo you been doing?"
"Wandering about, I think. I sat
in a pretty park for hours. There
were lots of children playing ahout
They wore so swoet."
"What havo you had to eat?"
"Nothing. I found I'd loft my bag
at the hotel. I hadn't even a hand
kerchief!" And Gladys gave a shrill
little lnugh that tore her sister's
heart "I didn't want food, anythow.
I walked about the streets until It
was dark. I looked In the shops. Ob.
Laurie, the shops are too lovely,
aren't thoy?"
This was a touch of the real
Gladys, and Laurie smiled.
Then Gladys began to cry again,
from sheer weakness,
"When It wns dark, I dldu't know
what to do." she said. "1 went Into a
big church somewhere; there was a
service going on, and such lovely
music. But 1 felt terrible when It
was over and they shut the doors.
"And in the and 1 thought the only
thing to do wna to come back to the
hotel and ft Jimmy to give me
some monr to get back to England
with. I found my way somehow I
met a man who spoke English and
Joit before I got to It, I came across
Res Moore. Hp was almost Immedi
ately outsldo. That seemed to be the
end of everything."

Elagabalus, profligate emperor of
Rome, knew that his wild rule could
end In only one way sudden death.
It was his choice that he kill himself
whon the time seemed ripe and, in
his vanity, he set about to make his
death the most expensive the empire
had even seen.
To this end he had created a tall
tower, studded with gems and dec

From this tower he could J;imp to-fiis
death. Poisons wore also prepared for
