Brewster had lost his fortune in speculation before his death and| ¥irginia is left destitute. She pawns | some of her jewelry and Oliver Cut- fer promises to invest the money for her. She seeks work eess. She discovers that she 18 b ing shadowed and suspects that Dean has bribed the ag s not to help her. Oliver gains her confi- dence and shows her attentions which Niel resents, but n Vir- ginta does not like the familiarity ! with which his model “hin, treats him. Dean sends Virginia an evening | wrap which she returns, telling him how contemptible she thinks spying tactics are. His threat to ruin Cutter frightens Virginia and she warns Oliver. Then she is lucky enough to get a position which sl like: The summer passes and Beptember she is amazed when c¢harged by Cutter's wife with trying to alienate his affcctions. She ap- peals to Oliver to explain, and d mands an accounting of her invest- ments, Then he confesses that he has not made a penny for her, but that he {s madly infatuated with her and will gladly give her the hundred | thousand if she will go away Wwith | him. | NOW GO ON WITH THE STOR CHAPTER XXXVIIT i Virginia submitted unresistingly | to Oliver's embrace, Her mind was | blurred with shock and despair.
