One of The Star's Week-End Fiction Series. Each story complete in three installments. M so worried over Gloria, Prof. € Kennedy, that 1 hardly know what I'm doing.” Mrs. Bradford Brackett was one of those stunning women of bafMing age of whom there seem to be ;80 many nowadays. One would scarcely have believed that she could be old enough to have a daughter who would worry her very much. Her voice trembled and almost broke as she proceeded with her story, and, looking gloser, 1 saw that, at least now, her face showed marks of anxiety that told on her more than would have been the case some years before. At the mention of the name of Gloria Brackett 1 saw that Craig was extremely interested, though he did not betray it to Mrs. Brackett Al- ready. with my nose for news. I had scented a much bigger story than any that had been printed. For the Bracketts had lately been more or less in the news of ihe day. Choking back a little suppressed ob in her throat, Mrs. Brackett took from a delicate gold mesh bag and laid on the desk before Kennedy a small_clipping from the “Lost and Found” advertisements in the Star. 1t read: X “Reward of $10,000 and absolutely no questions asked for the return of |a diamond mnecklace of seventy-one stones which disappeared from a house at Willys Hill, Long Island, last Saturday or Sunday. .A RUE & CO., Jewelers, 5th avenue.” 1 recognized the advertisement as one that had occasioned g great deal of comment on the Star, due to peculiar nature. It had been a great mystery —perhaps much more so than if the advertisement had been word- ed and signed in the usual way. 1 knew also that the advertisement had created a great furore of excite ment and gossip at the fashionable North Shore Hunt Club, of which Bradford Brackett was master of fox hounds. “At first,” explained Mrs. Brackett, nervously, “La Rue & (0. were able to keep the secret. They even refused to let the police take up the case. But as public interest in the adver- tisement increased at last the secret leaked out—at least, that part of it which_connecetd our name with the loss. That, however, secemed only to whet curiosity. It left wondering what was back That's what we've been t avoid—that sort of publicity.’ She paused a moment, but Kennedy said nothing. evidently thinking that the best safety valve for her over- wrought feelings would be to let her tell her story in her own way. “Why, you know,<" she resumed jrapidly.” to hide her agitation. “the most ridiculous things have been said. Some people have even said that we lost nothing al all, that it was all a clever attempt at notoriety to get our names in the papers. Some have said it was a plan to collect burglary in- surancé. But we are wealthy. They didn’t_stop to think how inconceiv- able that was. We have nothing to lose, even if the necklace is never heard of again.” For the moment her indignation had got the better of her worry. Most opinions, I recalled, had been finally that the disappearance was mixed up with some family affairs. At any rate, here was to be the real story at last. 1 dissembled my interest. Mrs. Brackett's indignation was quickly succeeded by the more poignant feel- !ings that had brought her to Ken- of it ng all to its | everybody | gers, even though they were to be trusted to right the wrong, was more than she could bear. Mrs. Brackett was now genuinely in tears, her shoulders trembling under the emo- tion, as she bowed her head. _Her despair and ,self-accusation would really” have moved any one; much less were needed to enlist Kennedy. He said nothing, but his look of encour- agement seemed to nerve her up again to go on. She forced back her feelings herolcally “We put the advertisement that way because—well, now you under- why,” she resumed; then anticipating our question, added, *“But there has been no response.” I knew from her tone that even to herself she would not admit that Gloria might have been guilty. Yet subconsciously it must have been in her mind and she knew it was in ours. Her voice broke again. “Mr. Brackett has repeatedly or- dered Gloria to_give up her fast acquaintances. But she defles him. Even to my pleadings she has turned a deaf ear. It was most pathetic to watch the workings of the mother's face as she was forced to say this of her daugh- ter. All thought of the necklace was lost, now. “I—1 ‘want my daughter back,” she almost wailed. “Who are these rapid youngsters?” asked Cralg gently. “I don’t know all of them,” she re- plied. here is young Rittenhouse Smith; he is one. The Rittenhouse ou know, are a very fine But young ‘Ritter,’ as the younger set “call him, is wild. They've had to cut_ his allowance two or three times, I believe. An- other of them is Rhinelander Brown. | L don’t think the Browns have much money, but it is a good family ~Oh.” she added witira faint gttempt at a smile, “I'm not the only mother who i has heartaches. But the worst of it is that there are some professionals with whom they go—a dancer, Rex Di Mond. and a woman named Lernice Bently. 1 don't know any more of them, but J presume there is @ regular organization of these ociul gangsters.” “Did ~ Signor Franconi—ever go with them?” asked Craig ‘Oh, mercy. no,” she hastened. ‘And they can’'t seem to break the gang up,'’ ruminated Craig, evi- dently Iiking her characterization of the group. Mrs. Brackett sighed deeply and wipad away another tear. “I've done what 1 could with Gloria. 1I've cut her allowance—but it has done no good. I'm losing my hold on her altogether. You-—you will help me— I mean, help Glorla?" she asked eag- erly, leaning f rd in an appeal { which must have cost her a great jdeal, so common it the repression lot such feclings in women of her type ladiy.” returned Kennedy heart- ily. *I will do anvthing {n my ve Proud though she was.

Bradford Brackett's election as . F. H. had been a crowning distinc- tion in his socizl carcer, and he did not propose to have Gloria's escapades spoil attracted by glamour of the life and flattery of its satellites. What the end of it all might be I preferred not to guess. Craig was looKing about at the va- riegated crowd. Suddenly he jogged my elbow. There, just around the turn of the railing of the gallery, sat a young man, dark of hair and eyes, of a rather distinguished fore|fn lg- earance, his face set in a scowl as he ooked down on the heads of the dancers. One could have followed the tortuous course of &loria and her partner by his eyes. which the man never took off her, even following her back to the table in the corner when the encore of the dance was finished. The young man's face at least was familiar to me, though I had not met him. It was Signor Franconi, quietly watching Gloria and her gay party. After a_few moments Cralg arose, paid his check, and moved over to the le where 'Franconi was sitting alone: He introduced himself and Franconi, with easy politeness, in- vited us to joln him.. I studied the man’s face attentively. Signor Franconi was still young, in spite of the honors that had been showered on him for his many in- ventions. I had wondered before why such a man would be interested in a girl of Gloria's evident type. But as I studied him I fancied I understood. To his serious mind it was just the butterfly type that offered the great- est rellef. ‘An intellectual woman would have been merely carrying into an- other sphere the problems with which he was more than capable of wres- tling. ~ But there was no line of ap- proval in his fine face of the butterfly and candle-singeing process that as golng on here. must say 1 heartily lfked him. “What are you working on now?" asked Kennedy as a preliminary step to drawing him out against the time when we might become better ac- quainted and put the conversation on a firmer basis. “A system of wireless transmission of pictures.” he returned mechanical- ly. “I think I have vastly improved the system of Dr. Korn. You are familiar with it, I presume?" Kennedy nodded. “I have seen it work,” he =aid simply. That telephotograph apparatus, 1 Temembered, depended on the ability of the element selenium to vary the strength of an electric current pass- ing through it in proportion to the brightness with which the selenium is lluminated. DG e DA BN ADAMSON’S ADVENTURES WANTED—HELP. MALE. “That system,” he resumed, speak- ing as though his mind was not on the subject particularly just now, “produces .positive pictures at one end of the apparatus by the succes- sive transmission of many small parts separately. I have harnessed the al- ternating current in a bLrand-new way. 1 think. Instead of prolonging the operation I do it all at once, pro- jecting the image on a sheet of tiny :_»h-nlu:l cells.

T find, to these af- | ternoon dances, in the city and out at a place not far from Willys Hills.” “What sort of places prompted Kennedy. { " “The Cabaret Rouge’ answered defiance that really masked fear of ! public opinion. i 1 knew of the place. It had an e | tremely unsavory reputation. In fact, ithere were two places of the same ! name, one in the city and the other out on Long Island. Mrs. Brackett must have seen Ken- nedy and me exchange a look askance at_the name. “Oh, it's not a question of morals, alone’ she hastened. sometimes common sense and fool- ishness are fair equivalents for right and wrong.” Kennedy looked up quickly, gen- {uinely surprised = at this bit of worldly wisdom. i “When women do stupid, dangerous things, trouble follows,” she pe sisted, adding, “if not at once, a bit ilater. This is a case of it." One could not help feeling sorry for the woman and'what she had to | face. “I had hoped, oh, so dearly,” she went on a moment later, “that Gloria would marry a young man who, I know, I8 devoted to her, an Italian of fine family, Signor Franconi—vou must have heard of him—the Inventor of a new system of wireless trans- mission of plctures. But witl such a scandal—how can we expect it? Do you know him? “Not personally. though 1 have heard of him,” returned Kennedy briefly. b Both Craig and myself had been in- terested in reports of his invention which_he called the “Franconi Tele- phote.” by which he claimed to be able to telegraph either over wires or by wireless light and dark points so rapidly and in such a manner as to deceive the eye and produce at the revelving end what amounted to a continuous reproduction of a picture at the transmitting end. At least, in !spite of his soclety leanings. Franco- ni was no mere dilettante inventor. “But—the necklace” suggested Craig, after a_moment, for the first time interrupting the rather ram- bling trend of Mrs. Brackett's story, “what has this all to do with the necklace?” She looked at him almost despair- ingly. 1 don't really care for a thousand such necklaces,” she cried. “It is my daughter—her good name— her—her safety!” Suddenly she had become almost hysterical as she thought of the real purpose of her visit, which she had not_vet been able to bring herself to disclose even to Kennedy. —Finall with_an effort, she managed to con. trol herself and go on. “You see,” she said in a low tone almost as if she were confessing some fault of her own, “Gloria h: been frequuenting these—recherche places, without my knowledge, and there she has become intimate with some of the fastest of the fast set. “You ask about the necklace. don’t know, T must admit. Has some one of her friends taken advantage of her to learn our habits and get into the house and get it? have they put her up to getting it The last query was wrung from her as if by main force. She could not even breathe it without a shu der. “When the necklace was stolen she added tremulously, “it must have been an_inside job, as you detectives callit. Mr. Brackett and I were away at the time at a week end party. We supposed Gloria was_visiting some friends in the city. But since then we have learned that she motored out with some of her dance-crazed ac- uaintances to the Cabaret Rouge. not far from Willys Hills. It must have been taken then—by some of them.” ‘The recital to comparative stran- > R >, ] Mrs. Brackett, flashing at us a look of | “After all, | ing up and down, his face wrinkled with thought. “I don't know whether I feel more like a detective or a spiritual ad- er.”” He pulled out his watch. *“Half- | past four,” he considered. “I'd like to | have a look at that Cabaret Rouge here in_town.” It was a perfect autumn afternoon, one of these days when one who is nor- mal feels the call to get out of doors and enjoy what ig It of the fine weather before the onset of winter. We strode along in the bracing air un last we turned into Broadway at the upper end of what might be cailed **Au- tomobile row.” Motor cars and taxi- cabs were buzzing along in an endless stream, most of them filled with wom- en, gowned and bonneted in the latest mode. Before the garish entrance of the Cab- aret Rouge they seemed to pile up and discharge their feminine cargoes. We entered and were quickly engulfed in the tide of eager pleasure seekers. A handsome and judicious tip to the head- walter secured us a table at the far end of a sort of mezzanine gallery, from which we could lookdown over a rail- ing at the various groups at the little white tables below. There we sat, care- ful to spend the necessary money to en- title us to stay, for to the average New Yorker the test seems to be not so much what one is getting for it as how much money is spent when out for a “good time." | 'Smooth and glittering on the surface, | like its little opolished dancing floor in the middle of the squares of tables i downstairs, the Cabaret Rouge, ‘could see, had treacherous undercur- rents unsuspected until an insight such as we had just had revealed them. The very atmosphere seemed vibrant with laughter and music. A strong band played sharp, staccato, highly ac- centuated music—a band of negroes, as in many of the showy and high-priced places where a keen sense of rhythm was wanted. All around us women were smoking cigarettes. Instinctively one felt the undertow in the very atmos; phere. 1 wondered who they were and where they all came from, these expensively dressed. apparently refined. though per- haps only veneered girls. whirling about with the pleasantest looking young men who expertly guided them through the mazes of the fox-trot and the canter waltz and a dozen other steps I knew not of. This was one of New York's latest and most approved devices to be- gulle the languid afternoons of ladies of leisure. “There she " .pointed out Ken- nedy finally. “I recognize her from the plctures I've seen.” 1 followed the direction of his eyes. The music had started, and out on the floor, twisting in and out among the crowded couples, was one pair that seemed to attract more attention than the rest. Thef had come from a gay party seated in a little leather cozy corner like séveral about the room, evidently reserved for them. for the cozy corners seemed to be much in demand. Gloria was well named. She was a striking girl, not much over nine- teen surely, tall, lissome, precisely the figure that the modern dances must have been especially designed to set off. I watched her attentively. In fact, I could scarcely believe the impression 1 was gaining of her. Already one could actually see on her marks of dissipation. One does not readily think of a girl as sowing her wild oats. Yet they often do. This is one of the strange anomalies of the new freedom of women. A few years ago such a place would have been neither so decent nor at- tractive. Now it was superficially both. To it went those who never would have dared overstep the strict- 1y conventional in the evil days when the reformer was not abroad in the land. | 1 watched Gloria narrowly.
