CHAPTER XVII

VIRGINIA knew in a flash of
' anguished comprehension that
she could not tell Nathaniel of her
bargain 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 100000 was as
far beyond his reach as hers, and
if he were told that lack of it would
spell unutterable heartbreak for
both of them he would be as un-
happy and as desperate as she.
And before morning Virginia
knew to the fullest just how un-
happy, how desperate her situation
was.
More surely than ever she realized
that she must take her fight alone.
She might fall beneath the Jug
gernaut of defeat, but until her last
hope was dead she would spare Ma
thaniel the crushing knowledge of
what might come.
She arose in the morning steeled
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 Mr. Gardiner at his
office and when the time came she
was there, waiting impatiently in
the anteroom. 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.
IT didn't want to see you at my
hotel" Virginia explained. Then,

added simply.

Charges that Indianapolis high

Charles w. Kern to the school
board, in asking an investigation Of
conditions.
The board failed to act on recon-
mendation of Albert F. Walsman,

left in hands of various principals,
monthly audits and reports to the
board being required.
Two years ago the board handed
down such an order, Kern said, only
two or three reports being made.
Kern criticised principals for per-
mitting large sums to accumulate in
cafeteria funds.
Cafeteria Profit
"The very fact that Arsenal Tech
nical High School has a sum in
excess of $4,000 from its cafeteria
fund indicates pupils are not
getting their meals at the lowest
possible price"

There was an aching pressure in
her head and the floor of the ele-
vator seemed to drop from under
her feet and leave her suspended
in air as she was carried swiftly
to the street level.
Other passengers looked at her
queerly and she was aware of it
but did not care. There was so
little to care about except the
menace that stood in the way of
her marriage to Nathaniel. That
alone absorbed her. Other thoughts
only nagged disagreeably at tired
mind.
Her only really valuable pos
sessions, the pearls she loved, were
not hers Well, she had feared il
might be like that. The shock of
having her fears confirmed had

Perhaps there would be nothing at

Gid not want to be in debt, to be
owing money on the strength of any
hoped-for funds so uncertain as
money from that source.
Out on the street she leaned for
moment against a plate glass
window and tried to think what it
was she had meant to do next.
Get the pearls? Yes, but there
was something before that. It
eluded her and she let it go. 1--WE

Up and down the street, cars of

until a cruising taxi stopped at her

She told the driver to take her
to the Ritz. but before they turned
off Fifth Ave. she remembered what
it was she wanted to do first of all.
She must get her balance from the
bank
1t did not surprise her to learn
that her account was overdrawn.
She had expected that as she had
expected to lose her pearls. but
there was no shock attached to this
bit of news.
Her emotions were chilled. insen-

Well, she had enough money to
take room in a second-rate hotel.
She hadn't kept her taxi waiting
this time, so she walked. It was
not far and she left the exercise

way she bought a paper.
From the Ritz she telephoned to
several hotels that were advertised
IN the paper and made a mem

BY the time she had finished
packing she had decided upon the
one she would go to.
