to her eyes-they spanked with
unnatural brightness. &
At $3.50 she applied a second
touch of lipstick. At 9 she re-
peated the process and at 10 shsI
removed her pretty dress, the
amethyst sand the lipstick. Ig
Much later she slept a little, still
huddled brokenly in the shabby
armchair.
And about the same time one who
had kept a vigil across the streee
turned YEARLY back to the cheerlesS|
studio.
There was a dizziness in Virgin
las suffering after that AS though
it did not matter so much that her
gallant youth was demanded as a
sacrifice to old desires.
The morning of the day before
the last brought Virginia a brieS
note from Frederick Dean.
1t informed her that he was pre-
pared to receive her at his homo
ony time the following day, but IL
she chose to put off coming until
the last minute of her year he
would still be waiting TO welcome
her at midnight.
Virginia read it. dry-eyed and
stonily calm. Then she sat down
to write to Nathaniel.
She had decided to tell him that
she was going to marry Dean. l.
seemed, somehow, less cruel than
letting him learn of the event in
directly.
The temptation to tell him tho
whole story came to her as She
wrote his name, but she put IL
aside.
Let him continue to believe that
she preferred the love of riches
to the love of a man. It would
hurt him less than the truth She
though.
With the letter finished and put
aside for mailing after her mar
riage, she set herself stoically to
the task of packing her things.
Her hope had touched bottom.
The Blue Capella officials had re.
GREETED sincerely that she was leav-
ing them,
She had told them two weeks be-
fore and had asked that they give
Miss Evans trial as her successor.
She had given a great deal OF
time to training the ex-secretary to
carry on her work and she had con-
tdence in her ability to do so.
The last night in her hotel She

bound it round her eyes and climbed
into bed, to lie still for endless
hours, her hands knotted close to
her sides and her nostrils filled with
the odor of the great armfuT OF
roses Frederick Dean had sent.
She had let them remain in theV
room. 1t was gesture Of sur

| asked when the moment came for
revealing his reason for wishing to
see her.
Virginia caught her breath sharp
ly. "You insist upon it?" she
cried.
Dean misunderstood her. She re-
ferred to the need for discussing
their plans.
You're not thinking of welching,
are you?" he demanded.
Virginia stiffened. please take
me back to my hotel, if that is all
you have to say to me. You may
make whatever plans you choose,
but don't forget that have nearly
two months yet in which to get you
your pound of flesh"
Dean Laughter scornfully. "Still
chasing rainbows? Well, dear girl,
let me see your hand. want to
order your wedding ring"
For many nights after that drive
Virginia dreamed of huge wedding
ring that slipped over her head and
shoulders and contracted inch by
inch until she was slowly crushed.
She would wake, gasping for
breath, with beads of perspiration
upon her forehead, and trembling
until her teeth chartered.
1t was a hideous dream. And the
days we're only waking Nightmares.
Nathaniel did not come near here.
She lived in terrified loneliness,
broken only by the occasional COM
partnership of Miss Evans, who saw
that something was very much the
matter with her.
Virginia never gave her a chance
to offer sympathy and not often
would she accept her invitation to
have lunch together.
The days would have seemed in
terminable to her had it not been
for the abyss that yawned such Il
short distance ahead.
At night, listening to her clock
tick through the darkness, she would
be seized with a frantic desire to
spring up and stop it.
But she knew if she did her mind
would be shattered. Dry sobs welled
chokingly into her throat and she
would pull the covers over her
head to shut out the sound.
And time marched on, bringing
a sorry mockery. Two weeks before
the last day of grace Virginia re-
ceived notice from Mr.. Gardiner
that her fathers estate had been
finally settled and that there was
$4,000 to her credit in the bank.
1t meant nothing to VIRGINIA now.
Except that she redeemed the
things she had pawned with Uncle
Simon
She might have retrieved these
things before, but she wanted to
keep available all her funds.
Twelve thousand dollars a year
ago might have saved her. She did
not know how, but it might have.
AS the last two weeks faded, Vir-
ginia's longing to see Nathaniel
grew beyond her control.
She wrote him a note, asking him
to call at her hotel the following
evening. He did not answer.
But she was ready and waiting
before 8 o'clock.
She had put on her prettiest
frock, a blue-gray taffeta, with a
cream lace bertha. Around her neck
she wore a choker of amethysts.
Nathaniel would appreciate the
delicate harmony of color. She
wished to delight him, to leave a
charming memory picture.

And no one mentioned her. Ber-

ascribed a false Importance to Rods
old flame.
And Lila was waiting in the fiat
CHAPTER III
DERTIE LOU approached he1
ID new home without a hint from
the other girls that Lila had re-
manned behind when they left to
go to the station to meet the re-
turning honeymooners.
Much to their dismay, Lila had
descended upon them in the fat an
hour or two before train time and
had insisted upon fulfilling what
she called her promise to Rod.
She rearranged everything she
could move unassisted. The girls
argued and protested. But Lila
had a way of coming out on top.
She professed to know more about
what Rod would like than anyone
else possibly could.
Mrs. Wards lips were drawn thin
in suppressed anger. But she kept
silent because she did not wish to
make a scene and start people talk
ing.
Her mind was busy turning over
ideas for covering BERTHE LOUIS dis
comfiture when she found Lila in
her home.
For Lila had announced her in
IF or n al viii -
curtains and Mrs. Ward suspected
that nothing short of plain eviction
would get her out.
When the girls were ready to go
to the station, she told Lila that
she really would not need her help.
1t was useless, however, as she
had known it would be. Lila re-
fused to go with them.
You can never get these rods up
alone" she declared with great
show of consideration. I'm fact, I
think Marcella had better stay and
help me-"
"Oh, no." Mrs. Ward said quick
ly. "Marcella will want to go to
the station"
She thought if she was left alone
with Lila she might find something
to say to the girl that would make
her conscious Of her bad taste in
coming to the apartment at this
time.
But Lila had suggested Marcella's
remaining because she suspected
what was on Mrs. Wards mind.
Marcella was utterly unaware Of
being pawn.
II really haven't finished putting
the kitchen dishes back in the cup
board, Mrs. Ward" she said, in an
undecided tone. II guess I'd bet
ter stay"
Mrs. Ward offered no further OBJ
jections. If Lila was bent on max
ing trouble, she would make it. And
all the more if she were put out.
The arrival of the bridal couple
in front of the grocery store was
heralded by laughing shouts and
loud honkings.
Mrs. Ward ran to a window in
the living room to see for herself
that it really was Rod and BERTHE
Lou.
A swarm Of friends piled out of
the cars behind that occupied by
the bride ana groom and literally
swept the young couple across the
sidewalk and up the flight of stairs
to the second floor of the new brick
building.
Mrs. Ward hurried out on the
landing to meet them. Marcella
was before her but Lila had stayed
behind, BERTHE Lou saw her mother
coming toward her and shouted:
Hey, Nuns, dig me outl"
BERTHE Louis friends made way
for her mother and BERTHE Lou
rushed into the dear familiar arms
like a homing bird.
Mrs. Ward Rugged her close. It
had been very strange in their big
old house without BERTHE LOUIS gay
laughter.

I of the bloom of her fairy tale eX-
istence had disappeared.
Would it all go? People weren't
happy. Could she and Rod escape?
Live their own lives, protect their
blesSedneSs?
BERTHE Lou sighed. Having to
fight somehow detracted from the
beauty of her marriage. She had
never cared much for things she
had had to wiring from reluctant
givers.
She liked people to be enthusi-
astic over her plans. Highly indi-
vidualistic, she wanted things whole,
entirely unmarried. And she feared
sordidness, feared to have her mar
riage SCARED by it. 1t would hurt
to have Lila intruding upon it,
marking it with sordid touches.
They we're met at the station by
a crowd and escorted to their new
home over the grocery store.
Rod had rented it before they
were married and the proprietor
had agreed to redecorate the rooms
while they were away.
BERTHE LOUIS bridesmaids had
promised to arrange the furnish
ingS and hang the new curtains
that BERTHE LOUIS mother had made.
BERTHE Lou was assured that the
place was dream, but her great
est Joy was that Lila was not among
those who met them.
And no one mentioned her. Ber-
tie Lou began to hope that she had
ascribed false Importance to Rods
old flame.

NEW YORK, November 16.-Mount

Of the worlds 66 active volcanoes,
DR.. Reeds says, "it is apparent that
each acts more or less independently of

or even complete, repose."

Etna's last serious outbreak was 18
years ago, but that period is a brief
unit when measured by repose periods
of hundreds of years in some volcanoes.
Other volcanoes have active periods re-
curing in a few years

Eight Kinds Of Lava.
Lava is molten rock There are
eight kinds, ranging from fairly light
cclored rock such as granite, to dark
baSalt. The GRANTEES containing quartz
and silica, which is the base Of sand,
do not melt as readily as the basalts
which contain a high percentage of
iron and manganese. The lavas from
Vesulus near Etna, are basaltic.
Volcanic energy, DR.. Reeds says,
comes from molten rock 80 to go miles
below the surface. Lava columns ex-
tend upward to volcanic vents. The
force which causes the eruptions is
believed to be mainly the slow forma-
ton of gas. Most volcanic gases have
been identified. Including forms of sui
phur and hydrogen. Beginning at a
depth of about six miles, steam may
be added to the destructive forces

The rising molten rock, usually the
first sign of the forces beneath, eats
through the dry upper rock wherever

Europe's highest volcano, is peculiar in
that its eruptive forces usually escape
