 Virginia knew in q flash Of an guished comprehension that she could not tell Nathaniel of her bar gain with Frederick Dean. She could not rob him of his peace Of mind destroy his power to create or go on with his work. In all likelihood Sl00,00o was as far beyond his reach as hers, and if he were told that lack of it would spell unutter- able hcartbreak for both of them he would be as unhappy and as desperate as she.
 And before morning Virginia knew to the fullest just how un- happy. HOW H"Sncfatc her SitnatlOn vas. More surely than ever she realized that she must make her fight alone. She might fall be- meath the Juggernaut of defeat. but until her last hope was dead she would spare Nathaniel the crushing knowledge of what might come.
 She arose in the morning steelcd with this resolve. And the fear Of defeat helped her. too: it drove her on to battle against hopeless odds.
 By telephone she made an ap- pointment with Mir Gardiner at his office and when the time came she was there, waiting impatiently in the ante-room. He had suggested coming to her but she had wanted it this way.
 You look too worn to have come out" he reproved her when she had sunk wearily into deep leather chair by his desk.
