i | -THIS HAS BAPPENED Virginia Brewster is in love with {to New York until the end of her Nathaniel Dann, but she is tricked inte promising to marry Frederick i in one year if she fails to earn $166;000 that he alleges her father cheated him out of. Brewster had tost his fortune before his death and Virginta 16 left destitute. She pawns her jewelry and Oliver Cutter promises to fnvest the money for her. She seeks work without success, and discovers that Dean has bribed the agency not to help her. Oliver gains her confidence and shows her attention which Niel re- sents, but she does not like the way his model, Chiri, treats him. Finally Virginia obtains a position she likes. Shortly afterward she is| charged by Cutter's wife with try- ing to alienate his affections. She appeals to him to explain, and demands an accounting of her investments. He confesses that he has not made any money for her, but promises her any amount if she will go away with him, She de- nounces. him and leaves his office. Her firm requests her to go on a voyage as ship hostess. This separa- tion, togather with the Cutter affair and the misunderstanding about Chiri, causes a lovers’ quarrel which is not mended before Vir- ginla eails. 8he and Niel both suffer, but her work and the hope from a friend of her father, O. D. Leigh, in Haiti, help her endure the Neartache. Arriving at Haiti, she goes out to the home of Leigh but finds the plantation terribly run down. Leigh 4a quite ill, and Virginia comes away in despair when she realizes that he 18 in no position to help her raise the hundred thousand. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XLVI Virginia was sadly disappointed. Nathaniel's letter had told her nothing of his feeling for her . . . it lacked tendernees. It was entirely in the nature of the repressed conversations that had usurped their old, free exchange of | confidences after Ntel's discovery of | her association with Oliver. He hoped, and Virginia failéd to ®ee, that it was ironical, that she was having a fine time. He spoke of his work, nothing definite. The bad weather she was lucky enough to escape. The artists’ ball and, near the end: “. . . . Chiri's a peach. Been a little off my appetite but she keeps me going with etuff she says I ought to have. I think I used to misjudge her. Remember the time we talked about the sawdust and the quick- sand? I'm beginning to believe we were both wrong and that hte kid's full of gold-dust.” Virginia finished the letter, folded it and put it away. There was a dull, heavy oppression in the region of her heart and a band secemed tight- ening round her head. Breathing was difficult and painful. Wisely she had chosen to read the letter in the privacy of her state- room, but remembering the doctor’s | warning against letting herselt go, she closed her eyes, clenched her hande and waited calmly for the little Horses that were stamping thelr hoofs up and down her nerves to leave her. 8he had told the medical man | that it felt like that and he had replied that she might visualize her nerve torture 80 if she wished, if she would promise to think of the horses as intruders that she must banish quietly, and never once feel that they were beyond her control.

Vor these reasons she had | stifled her longing to reach him by | mail. | He could ascertain easily enough | when the Agena was due to arrive if he wished to know, she consoled herself when she thought of the | welcomeless homecoming she was inviting. But she did not expect to sce him at the pier, She was long in leaving the ship, | having 1cmained to speed e | “guests,” and to receive their pressions of gratitude for a pleas- ant voyage. She walked listlessly down the gangplank without a glance at the pier which was nearly deserted now. Suddenly a pair of arms opened lout before her and she walked blindly into them. They closed about her, held her with her face pressed tight against a rough over- coat while Nathaniel: confessed his joy at having her back. Happiness surged over Virginia like an ether that wiped out every- thing but this great this indescrib- able, relief of being with Niel again. But trouble does not vanish until it is conquered. Nathaniel knew nothing of Virginia's momentarily overwhelming joy. He only knew that she broke from his embrace before he was ready to release her, and looked at him with eyes al- ready wiped of truth. “How good of you,” mured. “1 didn’t expect you.” Nathaniel clamped his lips close, and scanned her face through nar- rowed eyelids for a few seconds. “I know you didn't,” he replicd, with a short, rasping laugh. “But I'm such a poor fool that I came anyhow.” “Coming up to ked indifterently. o, I'm not,” he growled. “I've had enough. But I'll take a taxi with you, and drop off at the studio.” He was furious with himself be- cause he could not resist lingering in her company. He had come because he could not keep aw He had meant to greet her with no more warmth than she herself displayed. He'd take his cue from her. Her | she mur- my hotel?" she silence had proved her love was gone, but he wanted additional proof. That everything was at an end between them now was incon- trovertible. He wanted to turn on his heel and walk away. And he hadn't been able to do it. e took some pride in his refusal to accompany her to her hotel, but it hardly made up for his weakening enough to go as far as his studio. Virginia was mired in a strange mixture of cmotions. She was elated one moment because his love had endured despite her casting him to he epell of her rival, and depressed the next because she could not re- veal her elation to him.
