| There is absolutely nothing to
be gained by trying to make fool
of me-" she exclaimed at last.
"Oliver does not conduct his bust
ness with clients who slip out of
the back doors of hotels and sneak
into his Office after every one else
has gone"
Virginia cried out in protest.
But we had to do it that way,
Jeanne. If Oliver told you I am
sure he must have explained why
we had to be careful about it"
you know perfectly we'll he
didn't tell me! My information
came through the mail Anony-
mously, of course, but the writer
said you would understand if told
you his initials were "F. D."
A low moan of despair answered
her. Virginia was leaning back i'll
her chair, white and trembling.
Have you told Oliver?" she whis-
pered after a while.
jeanne had sat motionless, watch
ing her unpityingly. When Vir-
ginia looked up at her she shook
her head.
mo" she said brifly. Il believe
you and 1 can settle this"
But he must know!" Virginia
declared emphatically. Hes in
danger. Jeanne"
Really, Virginia, your acting is
very clever, but assure you 1 am
not deceived by it. The situation
is dramatic enough without any
theatrical touches"
oh don't misunderstood. Jeanne, q"
Virginia pleaded. oliver has been
helping me make some money that
need very badly. We had to do
it secretly because some one who
doesn't wish me to have it threat
ened to ruin him for it."
Virginia's words rushed out in
frantic appeal, but Jeanie curled her
lips in a smiling sneer as she list
ened, her cigaret holder poised grace
fully between them.
Surely you don't expect me TO be-
lieve such a silly fabrication as
that?" she asked lightly. Though
I suppose you couldn't have done
any better on the spur of the mo-
ment"
But I tell you 1t is the truth"
Virginia insisted, her voice and eyes
filling with tears of evaporation. 1T
isn't fair to take the word of an
anonymous correspondent against
mine" she added impatiently.
Your own word is quite sufficient
to prove all that my correspondent
told me-" Jeanie snapped back at
her. You have admitted meeting
Oliver in his Office after business
hours And no one but an idiot
would believe your ridiculous ex-
PLANTATION"
Virginia dropped her hands with
a gesture of hopelesSnesS.
Il asked you here to talk 1t over
because 1 gave you credit for too
much intelligence to attempt to
blind ne, but it seems I was mis-
taken"
Jeanne went on with dellberate
cruelty ut is a mistake you may
find very painful, if you persist in it,
let me warn you. 1 have no interA
ton of giving Oliver his freedom
unless 1 am driven to it, and in
that case it will not be pleasant for
the woman who is named in my
suit"
Virginia sp1ang to her feet, her
eyes blazing and her hands clenched
white.
How can you be such fool?" she
cried furiously. ASK Oliver why we
met and see if he does not give you
the same explanation. 1t is not
likely both of us would make up
an identical story on the spur of
the moment as you said"
MOP" jeanne drawled. Il wasn't
informed of the number of times
you've met but I dare say you
found a moment or two to prepare
your stories to correspond"
Virginia gasped.

impatiently. Have a cigaret?"
mo, thank you" Virginia declined
and sank into the chair indicated
jeanne shrugged.
I'm leaving shortly" she said,
suddenly dropping her insolent
drawl. Dining at Syosset. Do you
mind if we dispense with the bother
of leading up to the main subject?'
IF had any idea what you
wanted to see me about" Virginia
returned suggestively, II might know
what the main subject was"
Jeanie regarded her for a moment
without answering. Il was sure
you wouldn't come if you thought
knew" she said graphically
I'm glad you didn't think so, for
wanted to have this talk with you.
1t will save lot of trouble. I hope. ''
Possibly it will save time for
both of us if you tell me what it is
1 might have expected you to
know" Virginia replied.
mo doubt it will. Very we'll then,
you might have guessed that I've
learned of your interest in
Oliver"
Virginia drew back from the
shock of the words as though she
had recoilad from an unexpected
blow. One hand shot up in defense
and then fell Imply in her lap.
II see 1 was right. You didn't
think 1 knew. Stupid of you. Vir-
ginia, to imagine such sordid af-
fair wouldn't get out"
She spoke with cool, detached
regret, as though the matter under
discussion did not touch her per-
Sonally.
Virginia sat bolt upright and
looked at her with pure amazement
written on her delicate features.
Have you asked me to come
here to listen to such ridiculous
nonsense as that?" she said with
more bewilderment in her voice.
Again jeanne shrugged. whether
it is ridiculous nonsense or not you
know better than I. but whatever
it is it must stop"
IF you mean my friendship with
Oliver" Virginia said quickly, that
is mostly of business nature. How
can you object to it?'
Because it is conducted outside
of business hours" Jeanne returned
fatty. Perhaps I'd better explain
that I know all about these secret
meetings of yours and divers, Vir-
ginia."
Virginia went pale. "Who told
your" she asked in genuine fear.
1t was fear the cause Of which
jeanne misunderstood. If anyone
knew, who could it be but the spy
in the employ of her arch enemy?
OF course, Oliver himself might
have told Jessie, but then why
should she be making such dread
full mistake? To Jeanie it appeared
that Virginia was frightened be-
cause she had been discovered. And
Virginia was thinking Of Deans
threat to ruin Oliver.
IT am glad you see It's no use
pretending any longer" Jeanne said
with hard satisfaction. Nov we can
discuss the matter intelligently. Just
what do you want with Oliver, Vir-
ginia?"
HE was helping me speculate on
Wall Street." Virginia told her with
simple truthfulness.
Jeanne jerked the cigaret out Of
the holder, tossed 1t away and
crushed in another Her motions
betrayed suppressed anger and her
face was flushing darkly.

holder toward a nearby chair and
nodded her head.
Virginia felt a Tightening in her
throat and a wave of warmth in
her cheeks.
Jean Cutter had been her friend.
But there was no welcome in her
manner or in the words she drawled
at Virginia in the voice of one who
is both amused and annoyed at the
antics of a nuisance.
