Former Governor James P. Good

the Public Service Commission in
the renewed effort of his Winona

The commission entered a second

for our marriage?" q
Don't make it too far off," he
pleaded.
mot a day after I've proved that
I can earn my right to love-" Vir-
ginia's answer was fraught with a
different meaning for each of them,
but Nathaniel did not know that.
well, I suppose I would con-
graduate you if you weren't the
girl I want to marry" he admitted,
half reluctantly. after all, you're
right. One has a right to justify
his existence as he sees fit. If you
don't think it's doing enough for
the world just to make one man
idiotically happy 1 can't stand in
your way"
THANK you, Mel. Now let's talk
about you. When are you going
to begin work on the murals?"
"Just as soon as 1 have those IL
Illustrations out Of the way. Chiri
got temperamental today and
walked out"
Virginia started to ask why he
didn't use another model, but
checked herself abruptly.
Honesty compelled her to admit
to herself that it wasn't Niels best
interest that had prompted the
question so much as a wish of her
own that he replace Chiri. And she
was determined not to let her
ridiculous feeling toward Miss Mond
color her remarks.
Perhaps Neil might discover how
she felt, and even though he
laughed at her. as Virginia knew
he would, she'd be terribly humil-
lated.
She felt Inundated enough as it
was to have to acknowledge to her
self that Chiri disturbed her, but
she couldn't help how she felt.
II can help making an open fool
of myself, though" she warned her
self silently.
81 suppose you must finish with
her." she said conversationally.

CHAPTER XVII

IT EST you forget what the world
IL has to OFFER" Virginia read on
Frederick Deans card.
It seemed to her, as she stared
at the bit of pasteboard, that she
could see his jeering smile behind
the words, knocking her flight with
him, haunting her with her mis-
fortune.
She was tempted to throw the
fragile blooms across the room with
the same fury that she tore his card
to bits, but their beauty restrained
her. Hastily she replaced them in
the box and put on the lid.
What horrid thing to do,' she
considered, frightened little that
the ignoble gesture of Haunting a
symbol of what she had lost could
upset her so greatly. To be dis
turbed was to admit her enemv'S
power, she knew.
The thought so occupied her that
she overlooked the astonishing fact
that Dean had her address.
When it did at last occur to
her she puzzled over it in much
annoyance until she solved the
question. She assumed he had got
it from some one at her former
home.
II should have left instructions
not to give my address to any one"
she regretted, provoked with herself.
But who could have guessed that
even Frederick Rean would be so
contemplate as to mock me with
things that I love!'
Her afternoon was now thor
oughly saturated with gloom. There
was nothing she could do but wait
for call from Nathaniel
She sat huddled in chair, her
head on herlarms and her eyes few
erishly dry, trying TO hold her
courage together by the will to do
it.
Bitter loneliness, bitter despair,
crept up and sought to take pos
session of her soul, but Virginia
fought them off with the thought
of her ultimate happiness if victory
were hers.
"It must bel 1t must be! Oh,
dear God, help mel"
But help seemed very far away
and the orchids on the bed were
so near. Time dragged along in
weary, heavy seconds and endless
minutes until-was it really SOP
Nathaniel telephoned
He noticed at once when he came
for her that Virginia's spirits were
very low and he set himself to

Eyes, I'd rather. Soon reach the
stage where I won't need model to
finish the things"
They talked for a while Of his
work and then Nathaniel took Vir-
GINA unawares by a direct queS-
ton regarding her circumstances.
'5ave you all the money you
need?" He Intentionally put it
abruptly, hoping to surprise the
truth.
why, I Of course, Mel"
Virginia, you haven't"
''Yes, really I have plenty fer the
present, and you know I have all
uncle in England"
But I thought your father wasn't
on good terms with that branch Of
the family" Nathaniel said, trou-
bled.
That's true, but I'm sure he
would help me-"
What she did not add was, eff
ask him." She wouldn't have asked
him for worlds.
He and her father had quarreled
bitterly when her uncle had ex-
patriated himself, damning the
United States as unit for a gentle
man to live in.
And at best, if she humbled her
self to appeal to him, she could ben
eft only in easing her struggle for
a livelihood.
1t was unthinkable that she
should tell him of Frederick Deans
charges against her father. Vir-
GINA could hear him sneering that
no man could remain respectable
in America.
Oh, yes, he would believe her
father guilty, and even if he were
willing to part with 100000, and
Virginia doubted it, she could not
think of subjecting her fathers
memory to his contempt.
She succeeded, however, in salts
flying Nathaniel that she would not
be in want, and he dropped his in
tention of trying to force money
upon her.
Presently they left the restaurant

FIGHT DISCONTINUANCE
OF HEATING SERVICE

Attorney Leo M Rappaport today
headed a committee of property
owners who are protesting discon-
tinuance of the indianapolis Power
and Light Compang heating service
at Sixteenth and Alabama SITS.
Seventy-three residents met at
the Woman's Department Club
Wednesday night to oppose the petit
ton of the utility pending before
the public service commission. A
fund of about $4,000 was raised to
contest the utility'S petition.
About 400 homes are supplied by
the service, it is said. Commissioner
Howell Ellis has been assigned the
case. No date has been set for a
hearing.

THIS HAS HAPPENED

VIRGINIA BREWSTER, after losing
both father and wealth, consents TO
make her home with CLARISSA DEAN
and her father Her flance, NATHANIEL
pam, objects to this for he mistrusts
Meanwhile, DEAN plots to get MEL
away from VIRGINIA, but fails, and
later is forced to pay blackmail to a
MRS. FARLEY or face a scandal.
CLAR1SSA becomes Jealous of VIRGINIA,
and the latter resolves to leave, but
DEAN insists that she marry him, say
ing that she cannot endure poverty.
When she refuses, he threatens to
reveal the fact that her father cheated
him out of 100000 in a bootlegging
deal. Recklessly, she promises to earn
enough to repay him in one year--Or
marry him.
VIRGINIA leaves, but has to pawn a
ring to tide over until she can find
a position. She goes to NIEL'S studio
TO tell him of her break with the
DEANS, but her joy at seeing him is
cl0uded because she dare not reveal her
compact with DEAN, and also because of
the familiarity with which his model,
CHIRI, treats MEL.
She goes to an employment agency
seeking work and is sent out to inter-
view one Of the newly erich" impossibles.
She returns to the agency to report and
is surprised to find a man following her.
Discouraged, she goes to her hotel to
scan the help wanted ads and is angered
to ind orchids from DEAN awaiting her

along.
Just as Nathaniel signaled to one
down the block Virginia CHANGED to
glance across the street. A man
was emerging from the shadows Of
a doorway, but as Virginia's face
turned toward him he stepped
quickly back, though not in time to
prevent her from seeing him.

Sixty Years . Teacher,
 But Never Used . Whip

Montgomery, Ala. Sept. 26. w. A successful school teacher for 60 years without resorting to the whip to enforce discipline is the record of Miss Gussie Woodruff, who recent ly passed her eighty-fourth b:rth- day anniversary and her fifty eighth as head of . private ele- mentary grade school.
 Miss Gussie" nov is teaching the fourth generation of several families. Amonx her former pupils are leading business and profS'- sional men while several of the states outsta ndinS political figures received their early training in her school rooms.
 Believing a child can be better approached through other methods than whipping. Miss i. Woodruff. nevertheless. is not an advocate of "spoiling the rod and sparing the child" Firmness is characteristic of her every undertaking with them.
 Miss Woodruff observes more in- correct spelling now than in for. mer days, but more reading. She would not hazard an answer as to the cause of the former but thinks that the greater variety of reading material available today is respon- sib1e for the latter.
 The modern school encourages reading" she says, .'and I like that. Story books, history-it is quite . step forward that schools are pro- viding for children"
