this suggests Mr.. Heeney, who ar
rives at his destination in much the
same way.
Mr.. Heeney is conspicuous fig
ure in the headlines these days by
reason of his fight Thursday night
against Jack Delaney at the Gar
den, one of those elimination de-
velopmentS which may or may not
determine the identity of Gene Tun-
neys opponent in June.

The financial details of Mr..
Heeneys American activities make
thrilling reading and furnish fur
Their proof that the quick way to
OpuIence is through such academic
and scientific channels as are to
be found in bullying biceps and
granite fists.
A BOUT a year ago, Mr.. Heeney
IA landed in this grand and glori-
GUS country with two extra shirts, a
pair of widening eyes and enough
small change to get to Frisco.
He wasn't adverse to doing little
fighting for Tex Rickard, maybe in
a Semi-windup or preliminary bout,
but he had no visions of doing any
serious fighting. Mr.. Heeney is
extraordinary in that he has no
tremendous regard for his ability.
He had heard much of the superior
abilities of American ring1nen and
he was content to be sideline OBJ
server.
Il wanted to see New York, go
to Frisco, and then take steamer
home" Mr.. Heeney confessed to me
last week. 81 wanted to have a fight
or two, but I wasn't sure I could
make the grade, 1 certainly never
figured I would be in there men
toned as a contender for the world
championship"
Rarer, indeed, than a day in June
is a modern prize fighter who doubts
his own greatness.
For fighting Delaney, Heeney
will get rs per cent of the house.
1t Is estimated the house, in this
instance, will reach S15O,OOO, which
means Mr.. Heeney will get $4,000
for his end. And if this comes to
pass, his total earnings for the
year he has been here will reach
the 100000 mark.
Il II
T WOULD call this a fairly neat
L pickup for a young man who
came here for no other important
purpose than to send some picture
postcards back to Aunt Emma and
Uncle Alfred.
Mr.. Heeney is not exactly young
man, as the boys go in the beal1-
busting business. He says he is 20.
I suspect he is in the middle thir-
ties, at least. He is grazing at the
temples and has those tell-tale
weddings around the eyes that indi-
cate a strenuous and extended pc
Rod Of habitation in an earthly
world.
He has done more fighting in the
past twelve months than in the past
five years, circumstance which ex-
plains the metamorphosis of the
visitor from an ordinary European
heavyweight-and most of them are
very ordinary-into ring per-
former who will pay a bigger in
come tax next March than the aver
age captain Of industry.
Starting against Charley Ander-
son, whom he dismissed with an
airy gesture in nine rounds, Mr..
Heeney has sponsored an active
program embracing nine battles in
all and including as opponents
Paolina, Maloney, Sharkey and
Risko.
His has been what you might
call triumph for steady, con-
Scientious labor, rather than spec
tacular ability. In all his fights
where real issue was involved,
he has been just good enough to
win, or just good enough to look
as IL he should have won.

she gathered it up and threw it
into the box in which it had arrived.
Then she summoned a bellboy
with such impatience he thought
she must be trying to catch a
steamer.

box upon the boy. Right away

When he was gone she went to
the telephone and called Deans

There was a wait of several mo-

answered informed her that Mr..
Dean would be on the wire presently.
Virginias hand shook the receiver
against her ear and she bit her un-
derlip to stop its trembling. Now
that she had followed her impulse
to reach the man who was torment
ing her she found herself wondering
if it could do any good to talk to
him.
But whether it would or not she
felt compelled to take some action,
to protest against his having her
spied upon, if nothing else. He
wasn't playing fair. Vir-
GINA grimaced at the thought.

CHAPTER XXXIT.

0LIVER'S distaste for gratitude
~ did not disturb Virginia. He
always had been impatient Of most
accepted standards of conduct and
conventions, she remembered toll
erantly.
1t would be like him to get her
out of this APPALLING situation IL
which she found herself and at
tempt to pass it off with negli-
gent wave of his hand.
She smiled over the thought Of
how she would startle him with the
truth when she dared tell it. He
would know then how much she
owed him.
She unlocked the door and
entered the small dark room with
her mind filled with pictures Of the
future. Pleasant pictures.
Automatically she switched or
the light and took off her hat, still
half dreaming over the assurance
of success she had received from
Oliver.
1t was several minutes before
she noticed box on the bed. Her
first impression was that Frederick
Dean had sent more flowers and
she decided not to open the box.
But a second glance revealed thar
It was not from a florist. The
label was that of famous modiste
Virginia was curious to know
why anything from that shop
should be sent her. Perhaps it was
something she had ordered before
her fathers death, she reflected.
Often weeks we're required to
bring made border lingerieS and
garments from Italy or France to
America She'd better see what it
was. 1t would have to be returned
unless it had been included in the
bills already presented to the es-
tate.
Better send it back anyhow, if
the shop would credit it, Vir-
GINA thought as she united the
tape and turned back the tissue
folds.
When she held the contents up
for inspection she could not recall
having ordered anything of the
kind. 1t was a cape wrap of silver
metal lace, exquisitely made.
Virginia gazed at it admiringly a
moment before she threw it over

her shoulders and looked in the
mirror. 1t was richly smart with
the black chiffon dress she was
wearing and Virginia took it off an6
put it back in the box with a small
sigh of reluctance.
She was relying the tape when
her telephone rang and she an
swered, TO be told that Nathaniel
Damn was downstairs. Virginia S
heart sang with joy.
She darted about, washing her
hands at the stained lavatory in
the corner, touching her ear lobes
with perfume and setting the waves
of her bob more smoothly.
She was about to hurry out when
it occurred to her that Nathaniel
would want to take her to some bet
ter place than the hotel parlor to
talk.
Turning back to get light wrap,
her eyes fell upon the box on the
bed. She stopped, breathless with
delight at the thought that came
to her. Why not wear it? 1t must
belong to her.
She had bought nothing since her
mourning clothes were purchased.
Surely the bill for this was among
the accounts rendered. Possibly it
had been paid for. And it was very
lovely.
With quick, nervous fingers Vir-
GINA tore at the tape and pulled
of the lid Hastily, and little
guiltily, she threw the wrap about
her and whirled out of the room.
Her feeling of guilt vanished
completely in the happiness of see
ing Nathaniel's face light up with
admiration when she rushed eager
ly up to him. Her eyes fairly
sparkled and her soft lips parted
in an adorable, tempting fashion
What fairy has been waving d
wand over you?" Nathaniel in
quired with mock seriousness.
Don't be SO modest" Virginia
laughed back at him. Perhaps
you had something to do with
whatever it is you refer to. Weren't
we silly, Niel?" she added ingen-
ously.
You, WERE" Nathaniel told her,
but he smiled when he said it, and
Virginia let it pass. IT intended
to ask you to share walk in the
park" he went on, but you look
too gorgeous for it."
Nonsense. No one will notice
me-"
Maybe not, if every one has sud-
denly developed eye trouble" Ma
thaniel remarked. Wen take a
taxi to Fifty-Ninth st. don't want
10 lead a parade into the park"
"All right" Virginia assented
eff you think you can afford it,"
Don't try to patronize me, Gin
derella," Nathaniel bantered. How
do you know I'm not prince in
disguise"
Virginia looked at him with eyes
that proclaimed him a prince as
he was.
The distance to the park was but
few blocks, and shortly the two
lovers were walking blissfully into
the far, dim reaches of shaded
paths.
"You know, Virginia. you should
not have done it," Nathaniel said
reproachfully when at last they had
found a secluded bench. Life isn't
long enough"
