i THIS HAS HAPPENED NATHANIEL DANN Is engaged io VIRGINIA BREWSTER, whose father dies suddenly after losing his fortune. NIEL begs her to marry him at once, but FREDERICK DEAN and his daughter, CLARISSA persuade her to make her temporary home with them. This angers NIEL for he suspects DEAN’S motives. VIRGINIA becomes unhappy in her new home and resolves to tell NIEL her fears. But when she phones his studio late at night his model. CHIRL, answers. This causes doubt and a lovers’ quarrel which is later mended. Hoping to get NIEL out of the way, DEAN has a company he controls offer him a high-salaried commercial position in San Francisco, NIEL is overjoyed and begs VIRGINIA to marry and go west with him. But she refueses to let him sacrifice his art study. VIRGINIA is involved in trouble with CLARISSA when the latter s fiance. RUSSELL WAINGOULD. catches her unexpectedly in a half-drunken embrace. CLARISSA accuses her of trying to marry money and VIRGINIA resolves to leave the house immediately. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

CHAPTER XIII. Did Dean believe, as Clarissa, that Virginia would throw Niel over for money? Virginia swayed in dismay at the thought and put out a hand to steady herself. “No, no,” she cried under her breath, “he couldn't!' He knows how much I love Niel.” She struggled to put . the shocking impression out of her mind, but memory mocked her. What about those fatherly caresses? Weren’t they just a little warmer than they used to be? Merely sympathy, she tried to tell herself. But deep in her she knew differently knew that something more than sympathy was the reason for the subtle change in Frederick Dean’s manner toward her of late. It could mean only one thing, reason insisted. Dean must have believed his attentions would be welcome. And if that was the way he felt about it, then he evidently judged her as his daughter did. Virginia could not be insensible to this situation. She knew that father and daughter shared the same thought concerning her. And the knowledge roused in her an overwhelming impulse to show them both how mistaken they were. She no longer needed to draw upon her courage.to face Dean. It had not been her intention to tell him what Clarissa had accused her of but now she wanted to do something, say something to defend herself against ther unjust estimation of her. Her steps grew brisker as she moved up to the door and walked into the presence of the man she felt was her enemy. “Come over here,” he invited fr i a comfortable davenport. Virginia walked determinedly over, but as he rose to meet her she

Money for Your Spring Repairs Certainly it costs money to reroof, paint, decorate and do all the thihgs a house ~ 'needs in the spring! But it is more costly to let these things go until the simple repairs no longer are enough.* The Morris Plan will loan you money, at reasonable rates, for spring repairs. Repayments of the loan are made over a period of a whole year—weekly, semimonthly or monthly—whichever suits your convenience. The Morris Plan will loan you money for all other worthy purposes.

suddenly sat down in a chair a few feet away from him. Dean reseated himself, folded up the newspaper he had been reading, and looked at her inquiringly. His first glance had shown him that she was agitated, perhaps angry, and caution prompted him to let her be the first to speak. “I’ve come down to tell you that I shall pack my things and leave your house immediately,” she said, plunging in without preliminaries. “Why, my dear, what is the matter? Has something gone wrong?” ‘lt’s hardly worth while discussing it in detail,” Virginia declared firmly. “I think I’ve made a mistake in refusing to do as Nathanial wishes and I’m going to live in a hotel until we can be married without improper haste.” Dean leaned forward, 'a touch of consternation written upon his aristocratically handsome features. “Do you realize what yo’i .re saying?” he asked in a voice .hat convinced Virginia he doubted her sincerity. Her lips tightened until they were no longer the color of red roses and her chin lifted high from the delicate curve of her white throat. “Perfectly,” she said glacially, and stopped there. “But you must have some reason, some explanation,” the man expostulated. “Surely you can't throw my hospitality in my face in this manner simply because you feel you have made a mistake about your plans.” Virginia could not accept the charge of ingratitude and remain silent. # “Os course there is an explanation,” she admitted defensively. “I’ve learned why Clarissa wished to have me here, and I've also discovered that my coming is misunderstood.” “By Clarissa? Sne is not the head of this house, let me remind you, Virginia.” He smiled placatingly and his deep-set eyes glinted with eagerness. “If Clarissa could misunderstand me others could do the same,” Virginia remarked pointedly. Dean’s Smile vanished instantly and his eyes appeared to become lost under his heavy eyelids. There was a pause in which Virginia's words seemed to hang in the air like bombshells about to explode. Dean broke the silence, speaking gently.” “Won’t you tell me all about it?” he asked. "I cannot always find excuses for Clarissa, but you see it is I and not she whom you are taking to task.” “I’m not taking anyone to task,” Virginia denied; “but if you insist I’ll have to tell you. Clarissa has a shameful idea that I would give up Niel if—if someone with more money wanted to marry me.” Dean almost permitted himself to smile again. “To Clarissa that w’ould not be shameful. I'm afraid,” he said. “Certainly she would never consider she was insulting you with that idea. She would call it the only thing to do, no doubt.” His words held a note of regret and apology, but it struck Virginia that he was in complete accord with his daughter's views.

“It’s the last thing I'd do,” she stated emphatically. “Oh come now, Virginia. You’ve in no state of mind to make decisions that will affect your whole life—perhaps make a mess of it. Be sensible and go up and dress for dinner. We’re dining alone, I understand, and I assure you I shall enjoy it greatly. I’ll speak to Clarissa tomorrow.” Virginia got up from her chair and Dean walked over to the door to open it for her. “Please understand that I am leaving at once,” she told him positively. For answer he closed the door again and put hiS back against it “Are you really In earnest?” he queried unbelievably. His doubt of her sincerity angered Virginia still further. "Do you think I would remain here where no one seems to care anything about loyalty or—or even love?” she flamed at him. “But how do you know that no one here cares about love?” Dean retorted instantly. “I imagine there's a love so obsessing that you’ve never dreamed of it,”'he went on excitedly. “What do you know about passion or desire? Have you ever yearned with every fibre in your body to fulfill your dreams? You’re too young to know what it’s like to feel starved, to want to live again, to get back your youth.” He stopped, panting a little and slightly flushed. Virginia’s eyes were fastened upon him in something akin to terror. His outburst of emotion was like a series of electric shocks to her, shaking her and filling her with apprehension. “Please—open the door,” she begged, hardly above a whisper. “Not yet,” he refused; “not until I tell you something more about love, my cold one.” He came toward her and Virginia stepped back to escape his outstretched hands. She looked beyond him at the door but he was still too near it for her to get past him. “Don’t be alarmed,” he said, observing her fright. “I shall do nothing but talk to you and as you have expressed your opinion of me and Clarissa you must be fair enough to hear what I have to say.” Virginia retreated another step. This brought her to a chair and she sank into it helplessly. “You think you know what love is,” Dean sneered. “Why, you haven’t even tasted life yet. And you’re willing to let a foolish infatuation for a young upstart rob you of your birthright, the only kind of life you know how to live. “I hoped you would come to your senses in time and get rid of him, but since matters have been precipitated by Clarissa's blundering you might as well know that I intended to offer you a chance to live as you were reared, in luxury, before you could marry that jackanapes.” “Oh, you are even worse than I thought,” Virginia cried furiously. “I guessed you must think I’d listen to such a horrid proposal, but I never dreamed you would make it.” “Then you must be a trifle thick, my dear,” Dean returned smoothly, not at all offended. “For it is’nt so absurd as you seem to think. You are the prettiest girl I know, and a charming one. I’m bored with smart women who hunt big game in the Social Register. And you’ve lost a fortune. That puts each of us in need of the other. It’s perhaps a little drawback that I’m not your I age, but nothing is perfect in this ! world, and I assure you*l’ve had younger girls than you are literally thrown at my head by mothers I’ve known since their debuts.”

He stood before her now, his ease of manner completely restored and his voice back to its normal, agreeable accents. He even permitted a smile to rest lightly upon his thin-cut lips. “You and Clarissa both seem to have suffered at the hands of fortune hunters,” Virginia said scornfully. “But if you find it so easy to buy what you want>—a wife that is young and pretty—why have you chosen to insult me with the offer?” “Because, my dear, you are more than young and pretty. You’re something that I want above all else in the world. You see, you

Her temples 'throbbed with ( the rush of blood to her head and she vas conscious for the first time in her life that desire could be degrading. “I wouldn’t marry you if I were starving,” she cried, jumping to her feet. Dean let her get to the door before he answered. “But I think you would to redeem your father’s honor,” he said slowly. (To Be Continued)

CONGRESS MAY DELAYRECESS Jam of Work to Keep Body Busy Until June 1. BY LEO R. SACK By United Press WASHINGTON, May 22.—Such a legislative jam exists in Congress that the plan to adjourn next Saturday Is being reluctantly abandoned. Another week for the present session is being discussed, with final adjournment date fixed for Friday, June 1. The idea of the early adjournment was to enable Congressmen and Senators to get away from Washington for a few days before the Republican national convention meets at Kansas City, June 12. The tax bill, which goes to conference today, will require several days for final action. The Muscle Shoals bill will reach the President In a few days. The McNary-Haugen farm relief bill now is before him. Advocates of Boulder Dam legislation are not willing that Congress adjourn without a vote on that measure. There are several golf courses In the coiintry designed especially for women.
