couraged to wait just a little longer
and see if something more to her
liking would not turn up.
She had gone through the storm,
Squirmed under the spotlight, and
if anything good could come from
it Virginia felt entitled to hold back
for it.
She was pretty sure of getting a
job now, and although she was still
living on the money she had raised
at "Uncle Simon'S," and her per-
sonal belongings were gradually dis
appearing from her room, she had
received an unexpected boon as a
result of the attentions of the press.
She had gone to the hotel man
ager and explained that she must
have a cheaper room or leave the
hotel.
Her circumstances were fairly we'll
known to the world at large by this
time and Virginia had no need to
keep up a false appearance.
The manager very genially as
sured her that he could not afford
to lose her patronage and Virginia
was told that if she would stay and
pay for her room she might appear
as often as she liked in the dining
room as guest of the management.
Naturally Virginia was inclined
to refuse, but when it was explained
to her that the hotel would consider
itself well repaid she consented to
think it over. She had been ad-
amant in turning down all offers
that smacked of charity but this
was business proposition.
And while it did not please her to
think Of adjoining the public dining
room as an object of curiosity, it
helped her morale to know that she
had, even if not by her own efforts,
earned her board.
Still she insisted upon cheaper
room and got one without a private
bath. Now if she got so low in
funds she had to accept the free
dom of the dining room at least it
would not be because of extrava-
CANT room rent, she prided herself
as she packed her things for the
transfer.
When 1t was made and she was
settled in the cramped new quar-
tiers she realized that, for the first
time in many days, there was lull
in her affair.
1t gave her time to think of
Oliver and wonder if he had any
news for her. Miss Evans had tele-
phoned several times to say he
wanted to see her, but Virginia had
questioned her sufficiently to make
sure that it was not important and
had not gone down. Now she de-
cided to finish up the day with a
visit to Wall Street.
Oliver professed great surprise at
seeing her and chided her with
neglecting him.
But I've been faithful just the
same" he ratified on disarmingly,
seeking to cover his eagerness. He
hoped she would not see how glad
he was that she had come in.
Have you made any headway?"
she questioned without attempting
to disSemble her true interest.
Lots. You'll be rich in a few
months, Virginia"
Virginia drew in her breath slowly
and her eyes lighted up like stars
"I'll never be able to thank YOU"
she breathed intensely.
Nothing to that" he assured her
But if you want to do something

ooh, I'm sorry" Virginia cried
with genuine regret. II always have
dinner with Niel-Nr. Damn"
"Your boy friend huh? Well, II
was you who talked gratitude, you
know. I never think about the
damned thing"
Virginia glanced at him keenly.
He did look awfully depressed and
tired.
isn't Jeanne back from Aiken
YETI" she asked sympathetically.
Oliver nodded glumly. Back and
of 20 the Riviera. Long Island next.
That's my season"
Virginia bit her lip in distress.
She smarted a little under the
thought that he deemed her in
sincere in her protestation of graft
tude.
Perhaps she ought to dine with
him surely Nathaniel would
understand
She forgot that she hadn't told
Nathaniel anything about Oliver
afraid of his love-inspired question
ing.
"ITl telephone Mel" she said i'm
pulsively. Oliver found a polite
excuse to leave the office while she
made the call.
Nathaniel rebelled against break
ing their standing dinner engage
ment, but Virginia explained that
she wanted to spend the evening
with a friend who really needed her
companionship.
"Well, don't I need it?" Nathaniel
grumbled.
Are you going to be in your
studio?" Virginia came back, mean
ing to say she would drop in some
time after dinner if he were.
But Nathaniel was disgruntled.
"I don't know" he said shortly and
Virginia's temper flared up a bit
too. A very little, but enough to
check her premise to pay him a
visit.
Chris splitting a spaghetti feed, "
he went on. IF you're throwing me
down I'll go over there"
He did not mean it as threat;
rather a plain statement of inten-
ton such as he might have made
to anyone. To Virginia, however,
it seemed that he was holding
Chris invitation over her head as
the price of her final decision.
Two bright red spots glowed in
her cheeks and quick, angry tears
stung her eyes. Had he chosen to
name Chiri purposely? Did he
guess that she verged on jealousy Of
the girl?
Virginia had no time then to
decide whether it was Chris invita-
ton or Chiri herself that he was

using to bargain with her. Well, if
he hoped to fan her jealousy, she
would give him no satisfaction.
Then I'll see you tomorrow" she
said pleasantly. Have good
time" She banged the receiver on
the hook with an emphasis that be-
lied the sweet tones Of her voice.
When Oliver came back she was
powdering her nose with vigorous
rapidity. There were no signs, be-
yond the dash Of fire in her eyes,
that she was disturbed.
That dinner with Oliver was the
only one Virginia had had since
she left the Deans that was perfect
in every respect so far as food and
service were concerned.
But it seemed that the black
cloud of trouble that had settled
over her would not lift long enough
to permit her to enjoy it.
The entire evening was clouded
with remorse over her hasty words
with Nathaniel when he mentioned
Chiri.
She knew, now that she was
calmer, that he could not have been
capable of tormenting her with any
thing calculated to arouse her
jealousy even if he possessed her
secret. Virginia rebuked herself
harshly for having imputed such a
contemplate design to him.
But in coming to this view and
generating Nathaniel of one fault
she still charged him with another.
He had shown her that if she chose
to dine with someone else he would
go out and enjoy himself just the
same, she believed.
Her pride rebelled at the thought
that he would try to pique her into
doing as he wished. He ought to
know that I'd be with him if I
could always do as I like" she
thought veXedly.

He Colddn' t Sleep
Stomach Hurt So
Back Ached for Years. Finally
Found Relief. Perfectly Well Now.

Friends of Mr.. Henry Remillard,
294 N. Dearborn ST., Bradley, Ill,
we're recently surprised by his sud-
den return to good health. He ex-
plains it as follows:
"For many years I had chronic
indigestion and for the last six
months I never knew what it was to
have good nights sleep, my Stom-
ach hurt so. I had gas and bilious
attacks whenever tried to eat, and
my heart palpitated so could hard
ly breathe. My kidneys we're weak,
and I had terrible headaches and
pains in my back. I was consti-
pated, felt tired and WORKOUT all
the time, and was absolutely dis
couraged. But new hope came to
me the day I started taking Viuna.
It promptly gave me the help I
needed, and today I can hardly
realize that was ever so sick. M
stomach never gives me a moment
of trouble, and sound sleep is sure
ly a blessed relief. The gas pains,
biliousness, and Shortness Of breath
are all gone. I am rid of the head
aches and back-ache, and feeling
splendid in every way. I owe my
health to Viuna, and can never hope
to praise it enough"
viuna acts promptly on sluselsh
Jowels, lazy liver and weak kidneys. 1t
purif1es the blood, clears the skin, re-
stores appetite and digestion, and brings
new strength and energy to the whole
body. Take bottle on trial. Then If
you're not glad you tried Viuna, your
money win be refunded. 81 at druggists.
