THIS HAS HAPPENED VIRGINIA BREWSTER, upon the sudden death of her father, goes to live with a friend, CLARISSA DEAN, and her father. Her fiance, NATHANIEL DANN, objects to this for he mistrusts DEAN’S motives. Upon phoning NIEL’S studio late one night, VIRGINIA is surprised when his model, CHIRL answers. This causes a quarrel which is later mended. Hoping to get NIEL away, DEAN arranges to have him ottered a position in San Francisco. NIEL begs VIRGINIA to marry him and go West, but she refuses to let him sacriflca his art study. CLARISSA becomes jealous of VIRGINIA. and the latter resolves to leave, but DEAN opposes her departure and asks her to marry him. When she refuses, he threatens to reveal the fact that her father cheated him out of SIOO,OOO. Recklessly, VIRGINIA promises to earn the money to pay him in one year or marry him if she fails. Then she leaves his house and pawns one of her rings before seeking a cheap hotel. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XVIII THERE was a rush of feet, a crash and a grunt, followed by a scream. Virginia was petrified with anew kind of terror. Physical violence of any kind had never touched her life and she felt sickened. For a few horrible moments a silence fraught with dreadful speculation replaced the quickly-ended sounds of struggle. A door slammed, and then came the sound of low sobs. Without a thought of danger to herself Virginia turned her key and threw open the door. As she stepped into the hall she almost ran into a rat-faced man on his way to the elevator. ‘•Hello, baby,” he greeted her, and smiled. Virginia brushed past him without answering or even deigning a second glance. His eyes glinted at her from under the drooping brim of his soiled gray hat and he half turned as if to follow her, but seemed to change his mind and went on down the hall and around the turn to the elevator. Virginia ran back to the door she had passed to deceive him. It was his door, or rather the door of the room adjoining hers. She could still hear those convulsive sobs that had drawn her to offer aid. Softly at first and then louder as no one answered, she rapped on the mahogany-painted panel. The sobs continued without abating, as if the occupant of the room had not heard the knocking. Virginia hesitated a moment and then tried the knob. The latch turned and she pushed open the door reluctantly, hating to intrude, but urged on by the thought that here was someone who might be in need of help and was unable to summon it except by loud shrieking. She experienced a strong desire to withdraw when she saw the figure on the bed. Over the edge dangled a pair of well-shaped legs in the sheerest of silk stockings, but the rest of the body was sprawled across the white cotton spread in an attitude of complete abandonment to a spell of weeping. It was the face that repelled and shocked Virginia. Under stiff, bleached curls she saw a highly col-

ored group of features that were both hard and weakly feminine. The face was partly buried in a pillow, but Virginia saw, on the exposed cheek, a dark red spot that appeared purple against the orange rouge. The owner lifted the unprepossessing head and glared at Virginia from swollen, mascarasmudged eyes. “What do you want?” she asked fiercely. “Nothing, unless I can be of some service to you,” Virginia answered quickly, stifling an impulse to leave without bothering further with the troubles of such a person. “I ain’t askin’ nobody to butt into my business, see!” the other girl told her snappishly. “I’ve had girls help me before and they was never after nuthin’ but a chance to grab off my John.” “Oh, you’re perfectly horrid,” Virginia cried out before she could stop herself. “Well, if you don't like it, get out; I ain’t no welcomin’ committee.” “I’m sorry I said that,” Virginia told her. “I know you’re hurt. Isn’t there something I can do for you? And you needn’t worry about your friend. I saw him in the hall and I don’t think we would care for each other.” 'The girl on the bed sat up and drew her flimsy black dressing gown close about her. “Say, how did you get in here? Off your own playground, ain’t you?” she said slowly and looked Virginia up and down with anew interest. “I’m leaving immediately,” Virginia replied. “Shall I tell them downstairs to send up a doctor?” The girl laughed harshly. “A couple of drinks would be better.” ■ Virginia did not answ r er until she reached the door. There she looked back and said quietly,, “Would you mind telling me what kind of a place this hotel is?” “So that’s what you’re after! Think I’m a snitch, eh? Well, say, listen buttinski, I’m a clam, see? Me and the management are friends.” “I only wished to know for my own information,” Virginia declared, “but I’m quite convinced I shouldn’t care to stop here, so it doesn’t matter whether you tell me anything or not.” “Wait a minute,” the frowsyheaded girl cried as Virginia put her hand on the doorknob. “There’s something phony about you,” she added threateningly, “and I’m gonna tip the office so you won’t get away with anything; but if you’re on the level and want a decent joint, what’d you come here for anyway?" “Because I didn't know anything about it, and I’m not interested in anything you may say to the manager,” Virginia retorted with warmth and fled precipitately. The pseudo-blond jumped up and followed her into the hall, saw her enter the room next door and boldly walked in. “Repayin’ your call." she said

mockingly when Virginia wheeled upon her. “I’m leaving.” Virginia said shortly and reached for her traveling bag. “Well, take my hunch and get the real low-down on a joint before you register,” the other girl remarked with a touch of conciliation. “I ain’t sure yet that you’re not after some kind of dirty info for some bull, but if you honestly want a respectable hotel, you’re in the wront; place.” “Tnank you,” Virginia returned stiffly. “I shall make careful inquiries a second time.” She gathered up her gloves and handbag in one hand and taking the traveling bag in the other, walked hurriedly out of the room, leaving her guest holding the door open The elevator boy carried the heavier bag to the desk and put it down at her feet. “I wish to pay for my room,” she said icily to the clerk when he came toher. “Why, is there anything wrong?” he asked in astonishment. “Nothing that you can rectify,” Virginia answered with a positive emphasis. The clerk looked at her a moment and then turned away with perfect comprehension, to get her bill. “Try the Ritz or the Biltmore,” he suggested when he handed her the change and summoned a bellboy to carry her bag. Virginia directed him to show her a telephone and in a few minutes she was talking with Mr. Gardiner. She had thought of calling Nathaniel but she didn’t want to tell him by telephone that she was no longer at the Deans. Gardiner gave her the name of a respectable but obscure hotel, and very soon Virginia was being shown to another room. It was not a more pretentious hotel than the first, but the atmosphere was inexpressibly different. Virginia felt she would be reasonably \ safe here from contact with sordid- j ness. She unpacked her traveling bag I and hung up her peach silk pajamas j and negligee. Their fresh loveli-1 ness made her wish she had a lighter, cooler dress to change to and she remembered that she had j

Stomach Made Life Miserable Had Constant Back-ache, too. Tells j how she regained health. “It's wonderful to be well again,”! writes Mrs. N. Tomsic, 855 W. Bridge St.. Kankakee, 111., in telling of her quick recovery after years of ill health. “I suffered dreadfully from indigestion, constipation, and backache, since 1922,” she says. “At times, my heart would palpitate and pound so hard I couldn’t work. I was weak, dizzy and all worn-out. I couldn’t sleep and often felt so ill I had to get out of bed and sit in a chair. My kidneys pained me constantly, and every joint in my body felt sore. I tried one remedy after another without any real benefit, unti! at last I began taking Viuna. I got relief right away, and steadily grew better every day. Today I am entirely rid of stomach trouble, j back-ache and head-ache. The; heart pounding and dizzy spells are things of the past. I am sleeping fine, eating heartily, and doing my i work without the least distress. The j first and only relief I ever had in j all those years of suffering, came from Viuna.” Viuna acta promptly bn sluggish towels, lazy liver and weak kldnsys.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

told Colette she would send for her things that morning. She called the office and gave Mr. Dean’s address. They promised they would have the things that afternoon. It was after one o’clock when Virginia decided to wait in for them before going to Mr. Gardiner’s office with the pearls. She was tired and hot and thought gratefully of a bath. From her bag she got her bath' salts and soap and went in to prepare the tub. The water ran rusty and lukewarm. Virginia shuddered fastidiously and turned it off. Gingerly taking a cloth by one corner, she forced the last drop of it dow the drain pipe and then turned on the cold water to rinse the tub. She tried hard not to regret the spacious, sunken tub she had been accustomed to, with a shower of perfumed water, and thick, fleecy towels, each as large as four of these that hung in this bathrocyn. It wouldn’t have been such a miserable contrast if there’d been a shower of any sort, she thought. She wouldn’t plunge her immaculate body into that rusty stuff and Virginia liked a hot bath even in summer, and the tingle of rosy skin after the clear cold shower to follow. She went back to the bedroom and took off her clothes. A moment later she was standing in the tub pouring cold water over herself from the drinking glass. The inadequacy of her makeshift arringement drew a smile even as she forced back the tears of offended taste, a taste that had been

carefully cultivated to appreciate exquisite perfection in every detail of her surroundings. But even if the bath outraged her fastidiousness, the cold water refreshed her and stirred a pang of hunger. And the gay chiffon negligee soothed her with its sheer daintiness. She sat in the faint breeze that blew in through her open window and ate the melon and chicken sandwich she ordered sent up, and drank two cups of orange pekoe. Her mind was calmer now than at any time since she had left the Deans. The priceless gift c? youth —buoyancy—helped her to break the numbing grip of fear and to concentrate on the problems before her, while adaptability saved her from succumbing to despair. Dainty and delicate as one of the dew-covered cobwebs outspread on country lawns in early summer mornings, she was like them in other ways as well. There was in her the strength and resilience of those masterpieces of Nature. “I’ll find a way,” she vowed cour-
