i THIS HAS HAPPENED Virginia Brewster is in love with an artist, Nathaniel Dann, but she is tricked into promising to marry Frederick Dean in one vear if she fails te earn $100.000 that he leges her father cheated him out of. Brewster had lost his fortune in speculation before his death and Virginia is left destitute. She pawns some of her jewelry and Oliver Cut- ter promises to invest the money for her. She seeks work, but without suc- cess. She discovers that she is being shadowed and suspects that has bribed the agencies not to help her. Oliver gains her confidence and shows her attentions which Niel resents, but then Virginia does not like the familiarity with which his model, Chiri, treats him. nds Virginia an evening ich she returns, telling him how contemptible ghe thinks his spying tactics are.

But no such opportunity had presented it- selt Virginia had remained defi- nitely businsss-like and aloof At times he had been driven to the verge of declaring his passion regardless of her —a manner her sense of impro- priety in the meetings had inspired in her. He had tried little things euch as linzering handclasps, re- vealing glances, unhappiness, and for breaking the ice Virginia had 1gnorad the occasions they hall penetrated her consciousness She did not wish to repeat the mistake che be- Meved she had made about him in the beginning, and so she told herselt that Oliver was merely lonely and looking for a sympathy she had no intention of giving him other formulas them on Generally che failed to notice his thinly-veiled efforts to inject | a wedge of nversonal interest into their maetings for the reason that the was absorbed in her own proh- lems. Her mind was ohsessed with the idea of freeing herself from | Frederick Dean's clutches. She had given Dttle thought to any- thing else when with Oliver. She had nat dared let herself dwell on the cost of failure when in Nathaniel's company, because he read trouble in her face and | asked questions. At the office she resolutely put it out of her mind to devote herself to work. But with Oliver she was frankly consumed with anxiety ahont the outcome of his efforts to help her 1t was qust this burning desire each time thev met to know 1f he had made any gain that impressed him with the importance of the money to her She had not told him what it meant to her. but he knew it concorned Frederick Dean and eoncludsd that the man had some hold on her Often he | and hatred in her name was ment en a flash of fear when Dean's to possess her was father to the fhought that cht listen to him ina ls = effort to frustrate Dean Pleverly, and without a p remorse he her b the gum need 4 ar t vear she had ziven him to accum ulate ft.

But Virginia was not nonpluged las he had hoped &he would he “Please remember that T have doubted it many times’" she re- plied calmly, “and vou always as- sured me vou could do it | Oliver looked straight at her, sat down in his chair, placed his el- |bows on the arms, and leaned for- ward and said very coolly: “And %0 I can—on my own terms as a broker.

She could not belisve he would dare to say such things to her. He waited for her answer and for several long. forturing seconds Virginia sat silent in the grip of shock. Oliver, watching, saw her dilated cyes contract back to mnor- mal and har stiffly held hody relax clowly. He was not quick enough to grasp the fact that this was the breaking of the spell that held her. When she jumped to her feet and blazed away at him with white hot words of anger, he was taken by surprise.
