It had con- | gerned Frederick Pean. Would he | have the power to stand in her way, to cause her to lose a postilon she desired to take? Virginia knew that his interests were far-reaching. That | they might extend to influence with the ruling powers of the Blue Capel- | la line was easily within the realm of | probability. | It such were the case, at least he ' bad not chosen to take any action sgainst her. She had been engaged after a few minutes’ talk with Mr. Welkins and nothing had occurred to cause her any regret or dissat- lsfaction in regard to the work. Bhe liked it. At first it had been difficult to accustom herself to giv- Ing up her days to confinement within the four walls of an office, but she consoled herself with think- Ing how much worse it would be if she were employed as a companion and could not see Nathaniel each evening. Each evening, that is, except those on which Oliver insisted that she keep a rendezvous with him. Virginia never could see that it was neces- sary to have those secrét meetings. Again and again she told Oliver to judgment about her “in- but he stubbornly refus- ed to go on unless she consented to talk over the deals he went into with her money. “But I don't know when you ought to buy or sell,” she expostu- lated. Patiently Oliver explained the operations of the market, He appear- ed anxious to have her understand what he was doing for her. But Vir- ginia had no flair for the game, and though she listened she never was able to advise him, Oliver seemed to get on just the same!. At any rate he gave Virginia great encourage- ment each time they met, which was once or twice a week. “I believe we threw Dean off the scent,” he was wont to remark with | great satisfaction. While it was true that there had | ‘been no onslaught upon his position i in the financial world and no sign of | enemy activity, nevertheless he did | not nueglect. to cautipn Virginia | against becoming careless.

Yet she would not tell him about Oliver her own. There was reason to believe that she would have the money in time endure 1t alone. i Nathaniel was doing splendidly | with his mural work, It appeared 1o | absorb him. It had been a long time | since he had argued against her de-| cision to work through the fall. Vir- ginia was grateful for the ascendency of his love for his art and made no move to distract him. Matters stood thus on a beautiful | morning in September when Virginia stopped at the hotel desk for her mail on Ler way to breakfast in the dining room. She was subtly changed from the glorious girl who had driven down to her engagement party in her fiance's studio with stars in her eyes and heaven in her heart. Her gray eyes were now deeper and darker, as though they had not looked on the sun for many years and her full red lips had lost the soft curves of youth to take on the chiseled lines of character growth. She was thin and devoid of color, but there was an intensity of feeling about her like the effulgence of a perpetual light. One sensed the glow of her—quiet, steady and determin- ed. The clerk on duty grected her with respectful cheerfulness and handed over a pile of letters. Virginia glanced over them hastily and return- ed all but one to be held until eve- ning. The one she took with her to read at the table. The monogrammed “J. C.” on the envelope meant nothing to her. She thought it must be a letter from a friend and proceeded to open it ex- pectantly. She did not receive many letters from her friends these days. They appeared to have accepted her | decision to drop out as being sincere, as it was.

She stood a moment uncertainly as her Lostess made 10 move to rise from a love seat where she reposed with Low legs curled under her and puffed on a cigarct in an ivory hold- foot long. or a moment of tense silence she she surveyed Virginia as though her aller were a stranger whom she wanted to be rude to.

They had little time to think of a mrade who could join them only in fancy when she found a minute to close her eyes and shut out the sight of her present sur- roundings. Times were when the noise and the heat of summer had pressed and beat upon her until ghe found herself doubting if wind-swept golf courses and sea-leaping beaches were not things she had once known only in her dreams. Her first summer in the city was over. Bhe knew New York now as millions know it and, strangely, she loved it the more for having shared its sweltering discomfort. A sea breeze and a mountain top would never again be just a sea breeze and a mountain top to her, When poets sang of primroses now Virginia would know what a primrose might be to one whom life has touched with understanding. There was no heat this September morning and Virginia began reading her letter with a sense of pleasurable anticipation and a feeling of physical The letter was short, just a note, in fact. It stated that the writer was in town for a day or so and asked her to call. There was a peremptory tone in it that brought a little frown to Virginia's brow. It was signed *“Jean Cutter” with & flourish and no clos- ing courtes Virginia folded 1t up hulf resent- fully, inclined to ignore the request, But the fact that it was trom Oliver's wife caused her to reconsider and de- cide to think it over. She owed Oliver too much to disregard Jeanic's invitation ¢ven though it werc couch- | ed more in the words of a command. | She had a busy day before her and forgot all about the note until that] fternoon. The burden of making pereonal replies to the ever-increas- ing number of inquiries that came to her had beconie so heavy she had set herself to making up a set of HORNSBY SUSPENDED Manager of Boston Braves Out of Picture for Five Days for Demon- stration Against Umpire.
