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 hs 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 srct NIEL away, DEAN arrangjes to have him offered a position in San Francisco. NIEL begrs VIRGINIA to marry him and go west, but she refuses to let him sacrifice his art. CLARISSA becomes jealous of VIRGINIA, and the latter resolves to leave, but DEAN opposes her departure and asks her to marry him. When she refuseh, he threatens to reveal the fact that her father cheated him out of SI 00.000. Recklessly, VIRGINIA pledges to marry him if she fails to earn the money to repay him in one year’s time. She then leaves and seeks a quiet, respectable hotel in which to live, after learning: that her bank balance is overdrawn and pawning; one of her ring.. She roes to NIEL’S studio for tea and <o tell him of her departure from the DEANS’. Part of her happiness at seeing: him is spoiled by the presence of his model, CHIRI, who shows no haste in departing. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XX NATHANIEL’S ardent pleading came to a whispered end. Virginia remained quiet, his cheek touching hers, his heart filled with victory. Exquisite release from pain, from doubt and haunting fear. She was tired and his embrace was a restful haven, soothing her with a sense of peace and security. They did not count the moments as they passed, theV moments of bliss, but one came at last that broke the spell for Virginia. It brought the reckoning of this sweet surrender crashing through the forgetfulness Nathaniel had lulled into her mind. . She was out of his arms in one lightning-quick movement. “Oh, Niel,” she cried frantically; “you’re making me forget.” Nathaniel gasped, “Virginia “Don’t touch me, please,” she begged tearfully. “You don’t understand.” Nathaniel stood back from her,' worried and not a little frightened. Had her troubles affected her mind? “Sit down, please,” he said with gentle command. “I promise not to touch you. Shall I get you a glass of water?” The commonplace question seemed to restore Virginia to a deGas Pains Gone; Kidneys Now Fine Engineer Says He Now Knows Right Road to Good Health. Performing important duties while handicapped by stomach and kidney torture was the lot of Mr. C. G. Hungerford, well-known Illinois Central engineer, who lives at 805 S. State St., Freeport, 111. He tells about it as follows: “Nobody knows what I suffered for ten years, from stomach and kidney trouble. Every attempt to cat caused me to bloat with gas and suffer intensely. My back ached, day and night, and sleep was almost impossible. I felt weak and tired all the time, and kept g - -ting worse. Finally they said I had only fortyeight hours to live. But I am alive and feeling wonderful. I date my recovery from the moment I started using Viuna. The first few doses proved that I had found the right remedy at last, and now all the old gas trouble and stomach pains have gone. My kidneys ceased troubling me and the backache faded away. I sleep soundly and arise feeling rested and ready for the day’s work. I want to give credit where credit is due and Viuna gets all the credit. Viuna acts promptly on sluggish bowels, lazy liver and weak kidneys. It purifies the blood, clears the skin, restores appetite and digestion, and brings new strength and energy to the whole body.

gree of calmness that permitted her to appreciate the strangeness of her outburst. “Oh, Niel,” she sobbed, sinking suddenly into her chair. “I love you with all my heart but you mustn’t talk to me about marriage.’' He knelt beside her in stricken silence. He was afraid to speak to her lest he arouse her to further irresponsible declarations. Presently she lifted her head from Her arms and put a hand on his. “Your hand’s like ice,” she exclaimed in surprise. “Will you talk to me?” he said, ignoring the condition of his hands. “If you will promise not to make love to me as you did.” “My God, Virgihia! I'm on fire for you. I want to take care of you. What kind of a man would I be to let you live alone now, when you need someone to comfort you more than you ever will again?” “You’ve no idea how much the thought of your love comforts hie, Niel, darling. But I’ve made up my mind not to lose myself in happiness until . . . until . . . it’s so soon since father’s death, you know,” she ended haltingly. “I don’t want to throw you into hysterics again,” Nathaniel told her, “but it seems to me you aren’t giving much consideration to my feelings. Aside from that, I know your father would not want you to live alone. He’d be the first to advise you to listen to me.” “You must let me be the judge of that, Niel. In spite of the liberty he allowed me, father was a most conventional person. He often-said our modern speed was in very bad taste. And to marry in naste .. .” “But, Virginia, I just want you to name a day. It needn’t be for a few weeks if you insist, but you owe me something. If you loved me as much as I do you, I wouldn’t have to urge our wedding so strongly.” “You have no right to say that, Niel. No one can understand just how another person feels about things. If you knew ... if you were in my place . . .” “I wouldn’t know so much about love, I’m afraid,” Nathaniel put in passionately. Virginia shrank back from him as if he had struck her. “If you feel like that , . . ” she cried, and leaped to her feet. Nathaniel caught her. . “Virginia,” he said with instant contrition; “we’re perilously near our first quarrel. I’d apologize a thousand times before I’d have that happen. Please, dear, let’s kiss and make up.” Virginia could not resist him, but even as their lips met, her mind registered a conviction that this was not to be the end of their hot words. Nathaniel’s doubt of her love would grow stronger as time went on and she continued to turn a deaf ear to his pleas. Doubting her, he would lose faith, and if at last he really believed that she did hot love him would he not turn away from her? Virginia clung to him fiercely as this thought went through her mind, and for that moment at least Nathaniel

COULD HARDLY WALK ACROSS THE RLOOR Lady Says She Was Weak and Nervous; All Food Tasted Just Alike. Took Cardui and Soon Got Better. “Three years ago I had a spell of sickness from which it looked like I just could not recover,” ,ays Mrs. C. S. Cain, 1830 Richardson Ave., Dallas, Texas. “After I got up and out of bed, I was so weak I could hardly get across the floor. It took a lot of strength to stay on my feet. I was not equal to doing my housework. “All this time I was very nervous. I could not sleep, and had no appetite. All my food tasted just alike. I lost in weight and looked like a shadow. I dragged around, but was not able to do much. My back hurt continually, and I dreaded the pains which I had in my side. “I tried several kinds of medicine, but it seemed like none of them did me any good. I was not getting my strength back, and I began to worry about myself. “My mother had given me Cardui several years before when I was a young girl, so I made up my mind to take it again. I soon began to feel better. My appetite improved, I gained in weight, and my nerves got much better. I grew stronger, and in a few weeks felt better than I had in months.” Cardui has been in use by women for over 50 years.

did not question the depth of her love. He was a little surprised by the force of her passion but not at all loath to accept it. “Don't ever say such things again,” she entreated him. “Promise you won’t doubt me, no matter what I do. Promise, Niel! Promise you’ll believe in me until I tell you I don’t love you any more!” Nathaniel laughed happily. He had not Virginia’s reasons for knowing the test his faith would be put to and her insistence seemed a trifle dramatic, but be liked to have her this way, palpitating and flushed with emotion, with love for him. , "You darling!” he cried. “I’ll promise anything you like if you’ll promise to give me a fair break.” Virginia hesitated. “I’ll be fair,” she said at last, but there was a change from her fervor of a moment before. She knew that promises made on ignorance were not binding, and Nathaniel must remain in ignorance until their fate was settled. Nathaniel noticed the change, but he was intelligent enough to know that the rapture of a moment gone can not be recaptured at will. But there would be other moments! The dearness of Virginia, her sweet, fine mind and loveliness assured him of that. “And now we will have dinner together,” he remarked joyously. “Gosh, Virginia, I’m glad to have you to myself. I’d never have seen much of you if you’d remained with the Deans. A couple of high-hat bums, those two. There Isn’t enough soul between them for a worm. l Where’ll we eat?” “Let’s stay down here in the village.” “All right. I’ll get this paint off my hands and then we’ll scout around. Just a moment.” While he was gone Virginia carried the tea tray to the kitchenette and washed the cups and saucers, She had to be moving, doing something. To sit in idleness was tormenting. Already she had formulated a vague plan for the beginning of her struggle with Fortune, but she could do nothing about it until she I id some money, even a little money. •She did not want to think any more until she heard from Mr. Gardiner. Nathaniel hurried and rejoined her soon. He looked tremendously handsome in his slouchy gray tweeds, but Virginia laughed at the way he had brushed his hair. Just like a small boy who thought he’d be late for the circus. “I’m afraid you will be cold,” he said, noticing that Virginia had no wrap. “Shall we taxi up to your hotel and get a coat?” “You have a Spanish shawl; can't I take that?”

Nathaniel rummaged in the Italian chest under the window and brought up a beautiful black silk shawl embroidered with white roses. “Have to hide it from Chiri,” he remarked casually. “A friend sent it from Spain, so I shouldn’t like to part with it. Chiri is crazy about it.” Virginia let him wrap it around her shoulders and drape it artistically. “See what a handy man around the house I’ll be,” he boasted. “I’m not so useless myself,” Virginia retorted and gave his hair a few deft touches. “It’s rooted in my stubborn streak.” Nathaniel apologized, grinning at the face she made over his unruly locks. “Well, then, rumple it good and really look like an artist,” she suggested, and further disarranged the sorrel mop. “Now you look like Will Rogers would look if he had your face,” she teased. She felt as one feels who has reached terra firma after skating on thin ice. If she could keep Nathaniel- fix a light mood, keep him entertained, make him forget serious matters, it might be possible to lead him gradually into accepting her changed status without thinking he must do something about it. When he saw that she was not so helpless as people thought her — that she could do what other girls were doing and—though he would

not know this —much, much more, he would grow to respect her independence, to admire her for refusing to come to him as one who is too weak to weather a storm seeks shelter. “He will see that I think he is something more than a refuge,” she encouraged her new hope. “And he will be proud of me if I can make him think I want to do this for my self-respect,” she told herself as they went, laughing down the stairs to the street. “Any place in particular?” Nathaniel asked. “Let’s prowl. I love these streets. My shawl won’t be conspicuous, will it?” “In the Village! I’ve seen such things as a girl with stockingless legs on a night in January, hulawalking on Seventh Avenue. She wasn’t in costume, either.” “Well, her legs are her own afKHIPB9ES S OiJpOVE BUTTER QftM Churned from r frtsh Owam

fair, aren't they?” Virginia remarked with hidden guile. “Os course they are.” Virginia smiled. “That’s one of the things I like in you, Neil. You believe, really believe, in freedom. Most people who say they do, just flatter themselves.” “You mean they theorize. I don’t suppose anyone would deny he believed in the individual’s right to do as he pleases within the laws, written and unwritten, but the application of a theory often puts it in a different light.”

“But if you have the real spirit of liberty, you’d always put It first in importance, above your own personal wishes in the matter, wouldn’t you?” “I’d want to do that.” Virginia smiled again and tucked the statement away in her memory for future use. A little later, when they walked into an orange-painted grotto, she was doubly glad that she had trapped Nathaniel into making it. (To Be Continued)
