And, Gloria, I want you to promise, by nll that's good and holy, that you won't let a word or a sign or a hint slip to any- body else. Not to a soul on earth. ‘Will you, Gloria?” Yes." She looked at him curtous- she had never known her father to be so tensely in earnest. “Then,”’ he said, ‘go turn the key in the lock, and hurry before any one comes."” She locked the door and returned to him, “Feel under my pillow. Got it?” She felt the cold barrel of a revol- ver and started back; never had she known her father to carry arms. Then, gingerly, she sought again. She found a small parcel and drew it out. tish affair and rectangu- and shape of an octavo volume—a flat box, if not a book. It was wrapped in a bit of sotled cloth. “Quick,” he commanded nervously, “Out of sight with it. Stick it into your blouse, if you can; tuck it away under your arm; it won't show so much there.” Catching something of his suppress- ed excitement, she obeyed. “I managed a little note to Mark,” he said when she had buttoned the loose shirt again arid he had sunk back, white and exhausted, among his pillows. “I stuck it inside the cloth. Lord, if IT was only on my feet! But you'll do it for me, my girl? With never a hint to any one?” Gloria stopped and kissed him on the forehead, “T promised papa,” she sald assur- ingly. ‘Unlock the door again, then. There's somebody coming, Sit down over there, across the room. ind leave as s00n as you can,’ Gloria sat in her chair across the room, looking innocently the part of a daughter in @ sick-room, when the door opened and the Placerville doc- tor came in, <A moment later she slipped out. Sho went out into. the sunshine. Down the road she saw Gratton. He came quickly to meet her. She raw that he was eying her keenly, and her thought was that he was wondering if by ance she had seen the hotel register. “T don't know just what to do,” said Gratton, “My business {s going to hold me here longer than I had thought. I—I promised to go back with you this afternoon. Would it be all right if T got a man to drive you back? I am terribly sorry, Gloria, ‘but'"— ‘§ Business is business!" She laughed a trifle nervously. Then her inspira- tion: “I Know! I can go to our moun- tain home. I'll phone mamma, and she will come up. We'll spend a few days, and’’—— For an instant his eyes fairly hey were bright with triumph. ‘ust the thing! I'll go for the horses. I'll ride over with you and ‘et right back here,"’ “But—" But already, excusing himself hur- riedly, Gratton was off for the horses, THE TRAP. It was rpid-afternoon when Gloria and Grattdén came to the log house in the woods. Jim Spalding, coming to take their horses away to the sta- ble, though a man of no wild flights of imagination and given to minding his own business, was plainly curious, “We rode on ahead, Jim,” Gloria told him, and Jim detected no false note in her galety. ‘Mamma is com- ing."* Spalding gave them a key and they went to the house. It was Glorin who unlocked the door; Gratton, his white face looking more than ever bloodless, saw her hand tremble. She hurried in, excused herself, and ran up-stairs. Gloria turned into her own room, lockimg the door behind her. She looked at herself in her glass; she was pale, her eyes looked unnaturally big and brilliant, She bit her lps -and turned away. From her blouse she brought out the parcel her father had intrusted to her, slipping it under her matiress, smoothing the counterpane when she had done. Then, with but one clear thought in the world, that touch with telephone, After the irritating way of tele- phones, she was put presently into communication with Mrs. Gaynor. “Gloria! Gloria! Is that you?" Her mother’s voice sounded strange in Gloria's eare—shaken with emotion. “Yes, mamma, Y’—— “But where are you? Where were you all might? Are you sure every- thing ig all right?"
