      CHAPTER I.

      ..................

      GLORIA SAT IN HER FAVORITE chair on the broad veranda. The shadow of the vines made a delicate tracery over her white dress. Gloria was lazily content. She had been comfortable and content for seventeen years.

      There’s that queer little thing again, going off with her queer little bag! Gloria’s gaze dwelt on the house across the wide street. Down its steps a small, neat figure was tripping. Gloria recognized it as an old sight-acquaintance.

      I wish I could find out where she goes at just the same time every day! In all the blazing sun—ugh! I’ll ask Aunt Em sometime. And that makes me think of what I want to ask Uncle Em! It was natural that Aunt Em should remind one of Uncle Em. Gloria’s thought of the two as the composite guardian of her important young peace and happiness—as well as money. For Gloria was rich.

      I suppose I might go down and ask him this morning. It’s a bore, but perhaps it will pay. Abou Ben Adhem, I’ll do it!

      Abou Ben Adhem, the great silver cat in her lap, blinked indifferently. He was Gloria’s newest pet, so named with the superstitious fancy that it might have the effect of making his tribe increase, and Abou Ben Adhem’s tribe was exceedingly valuable. Gloria set the big, warm weight gently down upon its embroidered cushion.

      A few moments later the dainty girlish figure came out again, gloved and hatted. Aunt Em followed it to the door.

      Walk slowly, dear—just measure your steps! And be sure to take the car at the corner. Perhaps you can bring Uncle Walter back with you.

      It was only Gloria who called him Uncle Em. He was not really uncle anyway to Gloria, being merely her kind, good-natured, easily-coaxed guardian. But for ten years he and this sweet-faced elderly woman in the doorway
