CHAPTER xviii.

XTIRGINIA was not sure she
v recognized the man, but there
was something vaguely familiar
about hin-a familiarity that dis
turbed her until she fell asleep that
night.
Where have I seen him before?'
she asked herself countless times;
and the very fact that she neither
could place him nor satisfy herself
why the matter should trouble her
at all made it impossible to dis
miss him from her mind.
The next morning her thoughts
we're taken up with plans for getting
a position and the mans haunting
presence there on the East Side did
not return to puzzle further.
First she read the help-wanted
columns of the newspaper that came
up with her breakfast There was
nothing worth trying for. Nothing.
That is, nothing that she had any
chance of getting. Nevertheless her
spirits were up. 1t was a new day,
ever a matter of promise to youth.
There was Oliver to see. And Miss
Evans. There must be many places
where she could be useful if only she
could find them!
Virginia bathed and dressed with
out pining for lost luxuries, in fact
without thinking at all of the
limitations Of her present bathing
facilities.
AS soon as she thought Oliver
would be in his Office she took a

"Of course I shall be, Oliver, but
I'm afraid I shouldn't have trou-
bled you with my affairs"
'Don't be a sill. I've got to be
here anyhow. No extra effort to
handle your Investments. Well,
