i ! 1 | § i CHAPTER XLVII ‘What effect the statement had had upon Virginia Chiri could not learn. The ability to hide her real fealings was something that Vir- ginia had mastered. She merely nodded her head slowly and said: “I suppose so; Niel has become famous, 1 hope.” Chiri snapped upright in her chair, “He might have if you hadn’t made it impossible for him to work!" she exclaimed. “His first mural was cold, unfinished, but it brought him a new commission, He isn't able to touch it, though!"™ Virginia jumped to her feet. “Why do vou tell me this?” she asked warmly. Chiri laughed, with a ripple of victorious undertone. “Because it explains what happened one night after Niel came back to the studio from wearing out the pavements. Walking vou out of his life.” Virginia's eyes widened, but she waited in silence for the rest of. the story. She saw it now. to claim a conquest. She Lreathed a prayer for that embrace on the pier. It was like a shield now, pro- tecting her from belicving anything she might hear. “And did he succced?” she asked quietly when Chiri failed to go on. No, he didn’t,” the girl said sur- prisingly. “He never will succeed, But he will always hate you, too. For you cannot marry him. She spoke the last words with low, hard emphasis and looked at Virginia with direct candor. Virginia started, thing for Mr. Dann and myselt to discuss,” she said icily. “And me,” Chiri said softky. “It's a triangular affair now.” ‘ Virginia suppressed an #mpulse to refuse to listen any longer. There was conviction in the girl's words and manner. She was either tell- Chiri had come ing the truth or she was a con- summate actress. Virginia felt herself impressed in gpite of her firm faith in Na- thaniel. J“There's a chink in every ar- Chiri went on. “I found the one in Nathaniel's, It's all in know- ing the psychological hour in| It which to look for it. k “He will not marry me, ha doesn’t need to, because he didn%t start the thing. I'm perfectly will- ing to take all the responsibility] . . only . . . he cannot marr you elther. If he does I pronfse you never to give up searching feoy other chinks.” Virginia had rounded the foot of the bed, was leaning againat ft, her hands outspread upon the ‘imi- tation mahogany. Her head was thrown back and her eyes closed. 8he remaimed so for a moment that worried Chiri, Then suddenly she looked at the other girl with a gaze so discon- certingly straight that Chirl flushed. Virginia smiled. “You know I don’t belleve you,” she said easily. And to herself she added: *“Be- cause Niel never would have come to me again.” Chiri rose, shrugged her shoul- ders. “It you wish to live in a fool's paradise . . ." she trailed off sug- gestively and stopped. Virginia walked to the door and | held it open for her. “I am sorry for you,” she safd, ‘“because you will never win Nathaniel with a lie,” . Her voice held Infinite eom- passion for one who had bungled a rare chance at happiness—if happiness can really be found fin the role of comforter to a heart- broken lover. “Oh hell,” Chirl said and walked through the open door. That was the last Virginia saw of her for & long time. But she was not to escape a second unwelcome caller in the person of Frederick Dean. He had communicated a wish to | #ee her and Virginia consented in the faint hope that he would not presume unless it were to her ad- vantage. Besides, she had another reason for sceing him. He had become, in her mind, a monster. Could she marry him? She turned her head and studied lim now as they were whisked through an entrance to Central Park.

She had given great deal of time to training the ex-gocre- tary to carry on her work and she had confidence n her ability to do so. The last night in her hotel she dampened a towel with witeh Lazel, bound it round her cyes and climl into bed, to lic stil ‘or endless hours, her hands knotted close to her sides and her nostrils filled with the ador of the great armful of ros:s I'rederick Dean had sent She had et them room.

She would wake, gasping for breath, with beads of perspira tion upon her forehead, and trem- bling until her teeth chattered, It was a hideous dream. And the days were only waking night- mares. Nathaniel did not come near her. She lived in a terrified leneliness, broken, only by the oc- compaigionship of Miss who saw that something was very much the matter with her. Virginia never gave her a chance to offer sympathy and not often woud she accept her invitation to have lunch or dipmer together. The days would have seemed in- tarminable to her had it not been for the abyss that vawned such a At night, listening to her clock tick through the darkness, she would be scized with a frantic de- sire to epring upon stop it. But she knew it she did her mind would be shattered. Dry sobs welled chokingly into her throat and she would pull the covers over her head to shut out the sound. And time ntrched on, bringing a sorry mockery.

Twelve thousand dollars a year ago might have saved her. She did not know how, but it might have. As the last two weecks faded, Vir- ginia's longing to see Nathaniel grew beyond Mher control. She wrote him a note, asking him to call at her hotel the following eve- ning. He did not answer, But she was ready and waiflng before eight o'clock She had put on her prettiest frock, a blue-gray taffeta, with a cream lace bertha. Around her neck she wore a choker of amethysts. now, these Nathaniel would appreciate the delicate harmony of color. She wished to delight him, to leave a charming memory picture. Very carefully she applied a makeup to hide her palenes There was no need to do anything to her eyes-——they sparkled with unnatural brightness. At eight-hirty she applied a sec- ond touch of lipstick. At nine she repeated the process and at ten she removed her pretty dress, the amethysts and the lipstick. Much later she slept a little, still huddled brokenly in the shabby armchair, And about the same time one who had kept a vigil across the strect turned wearily back to his cheerless studio. There was a dullness in Virgin- ia's suffering after that. As though it did not matter,s0 much that her gallant youth was demanded as a sacrifioe to old desimvs, The morning of the day before the last brought Virginia a brief notc fgom Frederick Dean. It in- formed her that he was prepared to receive her at his home any time the following day, but if she chose to put off coming until the last minute of her year he would still be waiting to welcome her at midnight, Virginia read it, dry-eyed and stomily calm. Then she sat down to write to Nathaniel. She had decided to tell him that she was going to marry Dean.

Able Man Berlin, June [z Berlin papers of various shades of opinion united today in praising Governor Alfred E Smith as the democratic nominee, Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung, or- gan for the industrialists, said Smith was the ablest goyernor w York state has had since Grover | Cleveland and Charles Evans Hughes.

It contrasted this with the treatment certain classes of German society gave former President Ebert, who was a saddlemaker. Boersenzeitung, a conservative nationalist paper, said of Gov.
