CHAPTER u
Thb surprise which Gloria knew har
unexpected arrival would occasion
wna even greater than aha could Im-
agine. Several things had happened
In Belmont recently to disturb l)avld
Kerr, and ha was In no frame of mind
for further complications.
The stock-yard* company was be-
ginning to hint at certain favors U
wished extended, and with an election
coming on, Kerr was In no mood for
such concessions. Worse still, the
Belmont Newt had Juat changed own-
ership, and the new editor was not
displaying that subservient fealty
which had characterised all Belmont
papers In the past Already the Nawa
waa snapping at bla heels and aaldng
questions which were extremely polnt-
e<l- To have Gloria descend upon him
at auch a time waa too much for even
David Kerr. Hia mastery of the situ-
ation caused him to have no great
fear for the stock-yard demands and
the newspaper outcry, vexing prob-
lems though they were, but Gloria-
Gloria in Belmont—was Quite-another
proposition.
“Father, this Is Gloria,’* explained
David Kerr’s daughter when she had
established telephone connection with
Locust Lawn.
“Gloria 1" he exclaimed. "Where
are you?”
“Here, in Belmont, at the station.
I Just came."
"How did it happen? I wasn’t look-
ing for you.”
"Aren’t you glad to see me?”
"Glad to see you? Of course I am,
but It’s a surprise. When did you
come? How do you happen to be
here? Why didn’t you let me knew?"
“I wanted to surprise you,” she
laughed. “Annabel Hitchcock's aunt
Eled, so we couldn't go to California.
I bad nothing else to do, so I came
home. Wasn't that right?”
"Exactly, exactly. Rut it’s a bad
time to come to Belmont."
“I don’t care, I’m so glad to be
home. How do I get out to Locust
Lawn?”
“You can’t well wait there for me
to come in for you. Take a carriage
and tell the driver you want to go to
the end of the Townsend Park car
line. Wait for me in the drug store.
1’U K?t there almost as soon as you
do.’’
“Hurry, father, because I’m so anx-
ioup to aee you. It’s been an age
since I saw you, and you know I don’t
know a thing about Belmont. I’m Juat
dying to meet everybody, and then
I'll ask some of the girls out to visit
me.”
"We’ll talk that over after awhile,”
»was hie noncommittal response. “Wait
jfor me at the drug store. Good by.”
The carriage drive through Belmont
and Townsend Park, a suburb, was of
educational value. It gave her an In-
creasing ref pec t for Belmont. Al-
thougu there was no remarkable resi-
dence district, there were occas onal
“You Old Dearl”
homes which denoted refinement as
•ell as comfortable circumstances.
This was not In keeping with what
David Kerr’a daughter bad been
taught about her father's town. The
number of automobiles also surprised
her. By the time she reached the
place appointed for her meeting with
her father there was not so much of
condescension In her attitude toward
Belmont
This changing viewpoint did not
mean a diminution of enthusiasm.
More than anything else It spurred
her curiosity. She realised that the
real Belmont was an advance over
what she had been led to expect. Just
how much only a dip Into the social
whirl could reveal. The pleasurable
part of It all waa that Olorla was still
queen by right of Inheritance. If the
kingdom was more extensive than she
had thought, the court Ufa would aleo
he more brilliant.
Gloria had not long to wait for her
father. An old-fashioned carriage cov-
ered with mud and drawn by fat bay
horses drew up before the drug store.
Out of the vehicle a somewhat pon-
derous individual pulled himself—a
smooth shaven man who appeared to
ht something over fifty, with heavy
Jaws and piercing eyes which looked
clear through you from under beetllqg
eyebrows. With a cry the girl flung
herself upon him and smothered him
with kisses.
“You old dear!” she exclaimed.
“You haven't changed a bit I’m so
glad to be at home with you. Isn’t
it Just dandy to be back In Belmont!”
Tfte man smiled. Even If he had
hot changed, aa she bad sworn, he
recognized that she had changed. In
the two years since he had seen her,
out of the chrysalis had come the but-
terfly; and this radiant girl was his
daughter. For one brief instant he
unlocked the neglected; chamber of his
heart which was the prison of the
past, and thought of Gloria’s mother.
Then the present with its obligations
and its stern realities recalled him to
the life that was from the days that
once had been.
Welcome home, daughter,” ho said,
making a peck in the general direc-
tion of her mouth do duty for an an-
swering kiss. With David Kerr kiss-
ing had long ago become au obsolete
custom. Then, too, no one had ever
accused him of being unduly demon-
strative.
Seeing the negro driver bowing and
scraping, Gloria left her father to
speak to him. She might have for-
gotten Locust Lawn, but she had not
forgotten Locust Lawn’s chief fac-
totum. Old Tom, who had been in
Kerr’s employ for a generation, had
been her constant companion when
she had outgrown the continuous
vigilance of her nurse.
"How d’ you do, Tom,” she said, ex-
tending her hand. “I don't believe
you remember me. Now, do you?”
"Bless yo’ heart. Miss Glory,”
grinned the old negro, "I’d sho’ly know
you anywheres. An’ it does me a
pow’ful sight o’ good te see you. Why,
chile, when you went away you wu*
Jea’ a little gal. An’ now look at you;
you’a a reg'lar growed-up woman. Ah
reckins you’ll want to git mahrled
soon. Hey?"
Gloria laughed; that same fresh, In-
fectious laugh of hers which had
warned many a wary suitor that he
had not found the combination to her
heart and had brought him to that
plane of friendship on which he was
always welcome. As well try to de-
scribe Pattl’e singing, in the days
when her charm was greatest, as try
to describe Gloria’s laugh. There be
those persons so presumptuous that
hearing it would aver she had
never loved. Whether David Kerr was
one of those hie countenance did not
betray. As he waited for her answer
to the question put her by the old
negro, a privileged servitor, his face
was as impassive as ever it was on
the night of an election.
"Why, Tom," she explained when
she had ceased to laugh at the fool-
ishness of the questlou, “I love every-
body, of course, but nobody In the
wide, wide world like that. I’m never
going to marry any one; do you think
so?"
"Miss Glory, you neveh do know
what de Lord'll pervide. Look at me.
Ah done say dat, too, when 1 wuz
young lak you; but Ah’s bad fo’ wives
already, an' mah time ain’t come to
die ylt.” ’
“All right, Tom. I don’t kDow what
the Lord will provide, but I’m not go-
ing out of my way to help Provl-
denoe."
The words of this colloquy were
neither more nor lese than David Kerr
had anticipated. It was from the
spirit rather than from the wording
of her reply that the father sought to
ascertain the anawer. It had been bis
one hope that somewhere on her
travels she would meet a man worthy
the love of a woman such as she, that
she would marry dftm and never re-
turn to Belmont. Almost unconscious-
ly, with that end vaguely in view, he
had been diminishing his activities.
He had money enough for Gloria’s fu-
ture, already she bad her own Income,
and his age made even power Irk-
some. Ho would move away from
Belmont when Gloria married, and
when she came to visit him It would
be to some charming rural spot in the
east she'loved so well. Other men
of his type had retired, why not he?
One bad even raised a horse which
had won the greatest classic of the
Eugllsh turf. But for him, he had
mused, there would be no such pur-
suits to bring him Into the public eye.
That he wlebed to avoid for Gloria’s
sake. And now all his plans seemed
to be coming to naught—Gloria had
come home, free of heart and anxious
to mingle in Belmont society.
The drive to Locust Lawn waa un-
eventful. Gloria watched for land-
marks along the way, and commented
on the changes twelve years had made
Locust Lawn seemed closer to town
than In the old days. Moat of her -re-
marks shout places they passed were
addressed to Tom, because together,
when she waa a child, they had been
over the road many times. David
Kerr, never much of a conversation-
alist, waa content to listen, hoping
some chance speech might aid In clear-
ing up tha situation. Everything
Gloria said, however, seemed only a
confirmation of her determination to
enter at Once Into Belmont'a gayetles
“Dar's de Brat sight o’ Locust laws,
Miss Glory.” .
They had Just reached the tqp of a
hill and Tom pointed with his whip
to a house on the next eminence.
Looking i)p, Gloria saw, not the estate
of her imagination, but a square red
brick house looking rather desolate
through the bare branches of many
trees. Locust Lawn at the end of
winter was no enchanted fairy bower;
but she waa far too clever a girl, and
far too «tood at heart, to betray any
disappointment. To her the place was
home, and she was anxious to recog-
nise It as such.
The Interior of the house was no
more Inviting. As soon as possible
Gloria wandered from room to room,
her inspection making her give silent
thanks that she had not asked any of
her friends to Join her in her descent
on Belmont. The wall paper with big
yellow flowers, the carpets with big
red flowers, the rocking chairs with
the crocheted tidies, and the marble-
topped table in the parlor with the
inevitable plush album upon if, were
no less distressing than the wax flow-
ers under the glass case, the sfeel en-
graving of the Scotch Covenanters
worshiping In a mountain glen, and
the tin bathtub. She even gave thanks
that she had not brought a maid.
‘‘MUtah K.,” said a negro mammy,
putting her head in the door of the
living room after Kerr and his daugh-
ter had finished going over the house,
"Tom wants to knew ef you !c goin’
to town dis mawnin’."
“No, Lily, I ain’t going to town to-
day. Tell Tom to send Yellow Sam
with the spring wagon for Gloria’s
trunks.
Dey’s ben telephonin' you from
town. Dey say It’a pow’ful important
business. Miss Glory, she done will-
in’ to stay wlf me. Jes’ lak she use'
to. Ain’t you, honey?”
To this Gloria gave laughing as-
sent, but her father shook bis head.
‘Tm not going to town today. And
tel! the telephone operator not to con-
nect any oca with Locust Lawn all
day. I ain’t going to he disturbed.
D’ you understand?”
Aunt Lily, who probably was given
that name by some ante-bellum Joker
because of her ebon hue, nodded her
acknowledgment of the order and with-
drew.
The reasons David Kerr had for not
wishing to get into communication
with any one in Belmont were several,
but the most potent was his desire to
be uninterrupted while engaged iu
studying his daughter and evolving
some plan whereby she could be taken
from Belmont before her slightest
suspicion had been aroused.
One episode in their tour of the
house had given him much comfort.
Gloria had paused in the old fashioned
parlor and gazed long at his life sized
portrait, done in oils, over the marble
mantel. Then she had looked about
the room, and not finding what she
sought, had asked:
"Where is one of my mother?”
"There is none,” he confessed, and
added quickly, “but I’m going to have
one painted for you. That was given
me recently by the First Ward club.”
"Wliat’s the First Ward club?"
"A political organization."
“PolitlcaJ Do you know anything
about politic*?"
David Kerr almost smiled.
“I don’t know whether the presi-
dent is a Democrat or a Republican,"
she added.
"Don’t bother about It”
"Oh, I'm not going to. I don't want
to be a suffragette and march tn a
parade and be put In Jail on bread
and water. I don't even read about
it.”
Her absolute ignorance of politics,
nothing remarkable In a girl.of her
years and training, was no small grain
of comfort to her father.
It was not until after luncheon that
Gloria disclosed the subject nearest
her heart. Her father, like a wise
general, permitted her to open the
engagement. He had never been a
man to exert more strength than was
necessary for the discomfiture of the
enemy He wanted all her batteries
unmasked, all her forces engaged, be-
fore be brought hia own aide Into ac-
tion.
FUr some time they sat tn aliened
In the living room, gazing Into the
open wood fire. More than once Kerr
thougfft his daughter was about
speak, but each time she seemed to
think better of it or else lose her
courage. He knew that something
weighed on her mind.
“I know I'm going to like Belmont
very much,” she ventured at last.
“And I want Belrqont to like me. My
coining borne is different from that of
other girts I know. At Annabel's
Jane Leigh's or any of the girls' homes
we haven't been in the house ten min-
utes before the telephone begins to
ring. In half an hour there are enough
engagements to last a week. In Bel-
mont I don't know any one yet.”
This was not said In any tone of
complaint. She could not dream of
•uch a thing, because her father’s po-
sition was such that her lack of
friends was only a temporary amlgar-
raasment. She knew that well enough.
“If I had known that I waa coming
home I would have brought some of
the girls with me.” She did not al-
low him to know that the house had
not come up to her expectations. 'Tm
glad 1 didn’t because I don't know any
one here yet, and although we'd all

“I did, but glrle like to get to a new
place. They’re not looking for any-
body, but the wider your territory the
more certain It la that lightning will

"You’ve had a pretty wide terri^

“But I always ran for cover when I
saw a storm coming."

Slowly her eyes wandered round the

“It ain’t much of a house, Gloria.

Kerr felt that if he could get her
away he could see to it that she did
not return, even at the cost of hia
leaving Belmont a year or two sooner
than he had planned. To this sug-

Then Gloria told of a girl she bad
seenr on the train who bad coma to
