THIS HAS HAPPENED VIRGINIA BREWSTER is in love with an artist, NATHANIEL DANN. but she is tricked into promising to marry FREDERICK DEAN in one year if she fails to earn SIOO,OOO that he he alleges her father cheated him out of. BREWSTER had lost his fortune before his death and VIRGINIA is left destitute. She pawns some of her jewelry and OLIVER CUTTER promises to invest the money for her. She seeks work, but without success. She discovers that she is being shadowed and suspects that DEAN has bribed the agencies not to help her. OLIVER gains her confidence and shows her attentions which NIEL resents, but then VIRGINIA does not like the familiarity with which his model, CHIRL treats him. She is lucky enough to get a position which she likes. The summer passes and in early September she is amazed when charged by CUTTER’S wife with trying to alienate his affections. . She appeals to OLIVET, to explain, and demands an accounting of her investments. Then he ccnfesses that he has not made a penny for hr, but that he Is madlv infatuated with her and will gladly give her the hundred thousand If she will go away with him. She denounces his knavery, and leaves, taking his secretary with her as her company needs another assistant. She is asked to go on a six week s cruise as hostess, but before deciding she goes to see NIEL at his studio. His model * rr NOW he GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXXIX CHIRI came out of the kitchenette holding a pan in which she was vigorously stirring a white sauce. “Oh, it’s you,” she said flatly when she saw Virginia. “I thought it was Niel. He generally comes in with so many bundles he can’t open the door.” Unconsciously Virginia raised her eyebrows in surprise, but Chiri seemed not to notice it. “I suppose you are having dinner with us,” she went on and turned back to the kitchenette. “Niel will be in soon,” she added over her shoulder. Virginia was surprised at her cool assumption of authority in Niel’s home. But she would not strike back and allow Chiri to see that she was annoyed. Instead she pulled off her hat and said something about being glad they were eating in. “I’m so tired of restaurants,” she volunteered through the open door. “Nice of you to get up a meal here.” Chiri, out of sight, slammed the pan back on the stove and turned on the flame. She had come in half an hour earlier than Virginia, and finding the study empty, had conceived the idea of preparing dinner as a surprise for Nathaniel. She knew, of course, that he always had the evening meal with Virginia, but she had hoped to coax him to stay when he found everything ready in the studio. That Virginia would drop in or Nathaniel would telephone for her Chiri knew well enough. Her reception of Virginia was premeditated and planned in the event that she arrived before Nathaniel. Chiri had guessed it was not he at the door and her attempt to make Virginia feel like one toj many was deliberately a part of her scheme. Virginia’s poise and courteous retort infuriated her.

Out in the other room Virginia herself was disturbed, though she did not* display any outward signs of being so. She took a seat near the fireplace in which Chiri had set a few small pieces of wood blazing for the sake of cheerfulness. The night was mild and the windows swung open to a soft breeze. Virginia could see a patch of sapphire sky above the old brick houses on the opposite side of the narrow street. What a lovely night it was! Strange that your heart could ache so when there was love in the world and a sky like that to walk under! Virginia leaned her head back against the old Italian chaii and closed her eyes. Why was Chiri here? Nathaniel always had seemed'to treasure this hour when they could be together. Never had he been willing to share it with a third person before. So thorough had been Chiri’s domination of the situation that it did not occur to Virginia to guess that the girl was intruding. She believed, without question, that Nathaniel had asked her here. And Chiri’s drawling, “I suppose you are having dinner with us,’ : smarted not a little. Had Nathaniel, then, not told Chiri he expected her? That other remark, about the bundles, hurt, too. She had understood that Nathaniel was not seeing much of Chiri. The girl’s remark gave a distinctly different impression. But Nathaniel did not come in laden with bundles at dinner time, Virginia knew. He was with her usually at that hour. Unless, perhaps, Chiri was in the habit of eating here when Nathaniel and Virginia met uptown. On those occasions Nathaniel might have brought the food in for her. Virginia asked herself why he would not have mentioned it if the situation stood as she had conceived it.
Yet she was compelled to admit that Nathaniel might have felt the same way about it as she did in regard to her relations with Oliver. She flinched a little as the thought came to her that Nathaniel probably belived she would be jealous. But why should Chri want to dine here alone? Surely she was not a person to find her own company sufficient. Virginia concluded that Chiri must have referred to other hours of the day. Lunch time perhaps. It might even be breakfast, considering Chiri’s complete lack of regard for worldly conventions. She knew enough about Chiri to invest her with daring enough to rush into Nathaniel’s studio in any sort of morning garb—black silk pajamas most likely—and order him out to buy the groceries. Virginia tried to turn her mind from the whole thing, feeling wounded and somehow cheapened by the presence of this girl who made herself so much at home in Nathaniel’s studio. The problem of her future needed immediate attention and Virginia sought to occupy her thoughts with it to the exclusion of everything else. She succeded only in realizing that the outlook was black indeed —black as the heart of the man who held her loyalty like a sword over her head. She could hear Chiri stirring round in the tiny kitchen, a noisy cook, humming a naughty little French chanson. “She’s very much at home,” she thought wistfully. “I suppose Niel likes to have someone around him who is happy. I’m not so sure that a man doesn’t prefer a cheerful companion to a loving one.” It was in her mind that she would be incapable of singing in his kitchen. Was Chiri, after all, the superior person of the two? “She loves Niel,” she thought as she tried to make a comparison of herself and the model. “I know she does. Yet she sings. There must be

something fine and strong about her, in spite of her gamin ways.” For the first time since she had known Chiri, Virginia felt a touch of sympathy for her. Her displeasure had melted, lost in the deep worry that weighed upn her. Her spirits sank lower and lower as the flames died in the grate and Nathaniel did not come. The false courage she had buoyed her hopes with all afternoon vanished in the growing darkness of the studio. How long before Chiri came in and put a match to the tapers on the table she had laid for dinner Virginia did not know, but when the room became shadowy with candleglow she knew at least that one decision was definitely made. Nathaniel should be spared as much as she could spare him. And another woman would have her chance. “I’ll take the trip on the Agena,” Virginia told herself, “and give Chiri the field. She may find a way into Niel’s love. Then, if I must keep my bargain with Frederick Dean, his heart will not be broken. One is enough. Better that he and Chiri should be happy than that all three of us should suffer.” There was one bright angle in regard to her decision, one that gave her a shred of comfort. If fortune should by chance favor her and she found a way to free herself from Frederick Dean she would know beyond the slightest question of doubt that Niel’s love was hers . . . that is, if Chiri, having had her chance, had failed, and Nathaniel remained true. It was something to hug to her sorely-troubled heart and Virginia staked all that meant life to her upon it. It was the only chance she could give Nathaniel in case she lost to Dean—the chance of falling in love with a girl whose soul was not in pawn. Nathaniel found her animated and sparkling like her old self when he came in a few minutes later. He was inclined to resent Chiri’s presence, but Virginia's lively con- ] versation and ready acceptance of the girl’s intrusion at dinner prevented an open declaration of war on the model. Virginia wondered what he thought of it . , . did he expect her to mind? Well, she’d give him no opportunity to tell her. If he had asked Chiri to prepare the dinner, as she believed, Virginia did not care to have him explain. But if he had not she did not want him to quarrel with the girl over it. Finally, when they were sipping Chiri’s strong black coffee from thimble-size cups, Virginia told them of the Agena’s southern cruise. “It was splendid of Mr. Welkins to choose me as hostess,” she added, with well-simulated elation. She studiously avoided looking at Nathaniel as she spoke. But from her lowered eyes she could see his lean brown fingers suddenly crush the cigaret he had reached for.

No one spoke for a few seconds that held the count of minutes for the group. At last: “Virginia, you aren’t going?” from Nathaniel, in stricken unbelief. Virginia did not hesitate. “Why, of course, I am,” she said firmly. “I wouldn’t miss it for the world. Think of getting away from New York for the winter. The summer has been dreadful, but when the slush is piled up knee high I can’t stand it.” She risked a glance now, fearful lest she over-act. But Nathaniel’s expression satisfied her that he believed she was in earnest. He could not argue with her in Chiri’s presence, and Virginia lingered long after she knew that he wanted her to leave so that he could take her home and talk it out. Chiri ignored several well-direct-ed hints regarding her own departure, but she was as resolved - to stay as was Virginia. When lateness at last compelled Virginia to go she put an abrupt end to Nathaniel’s pleading as soon as he began. “Don’t he selfish, Neil,” she said brusquely, and whatever Nathaniel had meant to say he locked in his mind instead. There was no drawn-out good night between them at her hotel

on this occasion and Nathaniel returned to his studio with all his sensibilities as full of darts as a Spanish bull after an encounter •with a picador. Chiri was waiting to apply salve to the wounds. “Poor you,” she said mockingly; “I told you she’d never stand up to this kind of life,” she added, waving a carelessly manicured hand to designate the dim studio, (To Be Continued

Miss C. Michalski Tells How Cuticnra Healed Eczema
“My eczema started with a red rash breaking out on my hands. When I put them in water the skin would soften up, and as soon as I dried them they would get stiff and the skin would crack. They were so sore that I could not do much work. Sometimes the itching and burning were so severe that I could not sleep nights. I was ashamed to go out on account of them. "I read an advertisement about your free offer of Cuticura Soap and Ointment and sent for a sample. I purchased more, and in a few months I was completely healed.” (Signed) Miss Clara Michalski, 4723 So. Marshfield St., Chicago, 111., Sept. 24, 1927.
