SYNOPSIS “Butch” Seltzer, roughneck leader of a tough gang, tries to kidnap Joyce Daring. She is rescued by Henry Deacon, a school acquaintance. Her lather, John Daring, dislikes both these boys and agrees to let Joy go to dance with David Tompkins. She startles her father in the first party dress, bared anus and shoulders, and he orders her back to her room. She runs away by the lire escape and telephones “Deke” to come for her. “Butch” seeks her and threatens to push in the face of any young man who comes for her. CHAPTER 111 CINDERELLA COMES HOME Joy hesitated in the doorway of the drug store. The proprietor was looking at her curiously. She must do something at once. Standing in the light she beckoned to Butch. He came toward her slowly. “Changed your mind?” he asked. Joyce nodded her head. Butch came up the steps, entered the door and stood close to her. His eyes held a queer, hungry light. Joyce shrank hack from him. “Then how about running clear away tonight? We’ll be married tomorrow just as soon as we can get a license. Then you won’t never have to worry about nothing again. I’ll take good care of you, Joyce, honest to God I will.” The hungry light faded in Butch’s eyes and he looked at the girl with a sort of tenderness. In spite of herself she spoke gently. “I didn’t mean that, you know I didn’t, Butch. But I will go riding with you tonight if you wish. Only let’s start right away before —” “Before that, big stiff you’re chasin’ around with now gets here,” cried Butch, jealously, gripping her arm. “Well—” “Take your hand off the lady, brother!" spoke a mocking voice, and Deke closed the door behind him and took Butch by the shoulder. Butch whirled around, his face an ugly deep red. “And just to make It even well keep the door shut.” Deke shot the bolt in the heavy outer door of the drug store. The proprietor looked on in amazement. “Never mind the broken showcase,” said Deke, “This’ll pay for it," and. he tossed a bill down on the counter. As he made the movement Butch sprang at him. The fight was on. Butch was big, heavy, skilled in the fist fighting of the street corner. Deke was slim and supple, wise in the ways of the gymnasium. He warded off Butch’s savage lunge and came at him with a clean, swift blow at the angle of his chin. Butch rocked backward and into a showcase of chocolate creams and bulk candies. There was a crash of glass, the ludicrous sight of Butch draped in chocolate drops, a frightened proprietor making for the telephone to call the police, and Joye, her hand to her cheek, thrilled in spite of herself. As Butch floundered in the broken showcase, Deke grabbed Joyce’s arm. “Quick,” he said pulling her with him. “Quick, the back way. I’ve got the boat parked out here on the other street. Thought

“Joy—that’s what you are. Pure Joy for any man to hold in his arms.”

there might be trouble if I drove up here." They moved swiftly through the rear room of the drug store, out the back door, through an adjoining yard and to the street where the bright Marmon was waiting. “Should’ve mashed that fellow’s face in good,” Deke grumbled as he got into the car, “but I thought I’d look prettier if I let him go this time. He might’ve mussed me up so you wouldn’t go to the dance with me at all, at all.” Joyce found herself shaking. Deke put a comforting arm about her shoulders. "There, there,” he murmured. “Shook up a bit, aren’t you? No wonder. Tell Deke all about it, Joy—darling.” His arm tightened about her and he drew her closer. “No, no!” Joyce said, pulling away and half sobbing. “Please, please don’t. I feel so terrible about it all. Take me home and I’ll never go out again!” “Father was right, eh?” said Deke lightly, leaning forward to start the car. “Now you listen to me, young lady. We’re going to drive through the park for ten minutes by my watch. At the end of that time we’re going to stop in a quiet place and I’m going to keep my hands locked on the wheel while you tell me all about it. Then, if you want to I’ll take you home, but if you’re sensible we’re going on to East high school and to that dance, where you have every other one and maybe more with me. How’s that?” Joyce said nothing. Deke started the car and in a few moments a cool breeze swept over Joyce’s hot face. The swift, noiseiess motion soothed her and at the end of the appointed ten minutes she felt herself exhilarated and ready to tell her story steadily enough. Deke made no comment. But when she had finished he said, “Well, what is It?- Home, or on with the dance?” “Let’s dance!” cried Joyce. “Rghto!” said Deke. “But first I want you to pretty up. Let’s go in here.” He stopped in front of a drug store. “We seem to have an affinity for drug stores tonight,” he said. “Don’t worry about that fellow. I left him SSO and that will pay for all the damage our friend Butch did in the candy case.” They went into the store and Deke spoke to the clerk —“Rouge, powder, whatever the young lady needs. Name your poison, Joy.” Joyce felt herself blushing beyond all need of rouge. “Just, just a box of powder, please,” she said. “Here,” said Deke. “How about one of these? That’s what my sisters tag around with them to keep themselves in repair.” He pointed to a show case full of vanities, compacts, knick knacks dear to the heart of every woman. Joyce drew a deep breath. She had wanted one of them glittering things for' a long time, but Dads wouldn’t let her powder her nose, if he knew it, and Mother dear, who was always so hard up, had said no. Now she ha.d her choice of all of these.

“I have a sterling silver compact, a very fine grade of powder and rouge in it, just the right shade for the young lady, too,” said the clerk, scenting a good sale. He took a velvet case from s box hidden behind the counter wherelt had stayed since the previous holidays. “Here it is.” Joyce gasped at its chaste beauty. “Like it?” asked Deke. Joyce nodded. “We’ll take it,” said Deke. “Now use it, tuck in those curls over your left ear, and we’ll be on our way.” Joyce applied a little powder to her nose. Then she opened the rouge side. “Nope!” said Deke, catching her hand. “None of that. Roses enough of your own for a wonder. Come along. You’re so pretty now I could eat you. “I feel like Cinderella going to the ball,” said Joy as Deke climbed into the bi'ight Marmon beside her. “Well, if Prince Charming ever went to his alumni dances with Cinderella,” said Deke, gaily, “I’m that guy. There’s one thing more. I need a little nip. How about you?” He stopped in the sliadow of a great tree and pulled a silver flask from his pocket. “Raw whisky, good stuff, though. Say when.” “Oh, no, said Joyce, shaking her head. “I never tasted it except once when I was sick. I couldn’t take any.” There was a note of alarm in her voice. Deke laughed. “Never mind Joy. I’m used to it. I’m just shaken up a little myself with the punch your friend Butch gave me back there. Don’t have any if you don’t like it. Ye Gods, I can’t believe it, a girl without a vanity who doesn’t drink whisky. I’m in luck.” He emptied the little cup that formed the top of his whisky flask, screwed it back on.

and slipped the flask in his pocket. “Now for the dance!” he said. As they went up the steps of the high school building Deke pressed Joy close to him. “I don’t suppose I know a soul here,” he said. “I only bought a ticket because I thought you’d be here. I’m not an alumnus at all. But mtf father is, so I’m really going on his reputation tonight.” Joyce gave a little skip. All her dancing up to this time had been done in the afternoon with the girls in her class. Now she was here, not with one of the boys, but with an older man who would catch the envious glances of all the other girls. They swung onto the crowded floor a few minutes later. Deke held her firmly and led her light feet after him with unfailing grace. “I know now why I learned to dance,” he whispered into her ear. Joyce smiled at him radiantly. “Look at Joy, say she’s real swell tonight, isn’t she?” asked one of her classmates dancing by with another girl. “Me for a dance. She’s sure some peach tonight.” “Don’t forget, every other dance is mine,” said Deke as various youths came up to ask Joyce to dance. “You must dance with some of the other girls too,” said Joyce. “I’ll introduce you.” “Must I? Do you want me to?” asked Deke in a tone of boredom. Joyce nodded. “It would look funny if you didn’t,” she said. For Joyce the evening took wings. She seemed to herself to be floating on a cloud of happiness. Her feet barely touched the floor. The whole world was beautiful. She knew the other girls were wondering about Henry Deacon. She knew some of them were whispering spitefully about her. But she did not care. Nothing mattered save that she was happy. She had every other dapce with Deke. 'The end of the evening was far away. The last dance came. Deke swept her out into the midst of the dancers. “Sorry it’s nearly over?” he asked. Joyce nodded her head. Deke tightened his arms about her. “Sweet thing!” he murmured. “Joy —that’s what you are. Pure Joy for any man to hold in his arms!” The dance was nearly over. Like all high school dances 11:30 marked the closing hour. Surely he could persuade Joy to prolong the evening another hour or more. They would drive out into the country. And he would give her a taste of the intoxicating beverage called love— As they neared the door he felt Joyce stiffen in his arms. He followed her glance. There in the doorway stood the sober-faced youth she called Davey that memorable night in the flat two weeks or so ago. What could he want here —oh, yes, he had been the chosen swain for the evening’s party until Father shut him off. “Well,” thought Deke. “I’ve licked one tonight. Tougher than this one, too. But I hope I won’t have to. I like his face.” Joyce waved a hand, rather a shaky one, to Dave. Dave nodded back. When the dance was finished Joyce and Deke walked toward Davey. “Lo ,Davey. You see I got here after all.” Joyce tried to speak saucily, but her voice sounded hollow, even to herself. “Poor kid,” thought Deke. “She’s in for a bad time of it. Maybe I’d better get her home as soon as I can.” * He held out his hand to Davey who took it mechanically. “Howdy do Mr. Tompkins. Sorry I couldn’t have brought you along too. Quite a nice party we had, with Joyce here the belle of the ball.” Davey flushed a deep red at the bantering tone. Joyce felt herself somehow siding with Davey at this moment. “Are things all right at Test Answers Here are the answers to today’s intelligence test. The questions are printed on page 9: 1.

home? Has Dads missed me?” she faltered. “If you don't mind, Mr. Deacon,” said Davey evenly, "I'll take Miss Daring home. She is wanted there badly. Her mother and father are both worried about her, although they know 7 now from Mr. Smith at the drug store that she is here with you.” “But I do mind,” said Deke, an obstinate tone coming into his voice. “I brought Miss Daring here and I’m going to take her home.” “Let’s all go together,” suggested Joyce. “I must get in at once if Mother and Dads are really worried about me. Davey can tell me about it as we go.” Deke shrugged his shoulders. In silence the three young people ■Kicked into the bright Marmon. Dene took a certain delight in turning the corner that threw Joyce against him, as rapidly as possible, and creeping around those that inclined her in Davey’s direction. Arrived at the apartment, Deke took Joy’s hand. “When will I see you again, Joy?” he asked. “I don’t know,” said the girl nervously. “Maybe I’d better come up and assure your father I took good care of you,” said Deke. “Oh no!” Davey and Joy spoke together. “Are you going up?” Deke asked Davey. Davey nodded. “Then so am I. Come along, Joyce. Maybe I can convince your father, that I don't dine off pretty girls every night.” Joyce walked upstairs, a bristling youth at either arm. She opened the door, after a light tap, and with Davey and Deke a little behind her, entered the living room. Facing each other, some distance apart, stood John and Agnes Daring. All anxiety about Joyce, ail consciousness of other things, had been swallowed up in their approach to this present tragedy. They turned to look at Joyce, ignoring her companions. “Joyce,” said Mrs. Daring. “Your father thinks I am unfit to be your mother.” “Lass,” said John Daring. “Your mother tehs me I’m draining the life blood in ye with my meanness.” They looked to her for her judgment, still unmindful of her companions. “The long and the short of it,” said John Daring more gravely, more coldly, more finally, “the long and the short of it is that we’re getting a divorce, and ye’ll have to make up your mind which one of us you choose to live with.” “Dads—Mother," the words, the first she had spoken as a baby, her guides throughout her girlhood, broke from her in an agony of unbelief. Suddenly she turned to Deke and Davey. “Go,” she cried, pushing at them with her hands. “Go. Now!” Then she faced her parents.
