THE STORY SO FAR Joyce Daring, heroine of the story, has had a stormy introduction to life. Her parents, John and Agnes Daring, separate after living together for 20 years. And when she needs her home most, Joyce is left to shift for herself. Her problem is complicated by three youths—David Tompkins, faithfully demanding her in marriage; Henry Deacon, wealthy, promising her unknown pleasures; and Butch Seltzer, gang leader, who is clay in her fingers. She gets a job in a telephone exchange and takes a room with Gladys Warner, a hotel check girl, who promptly borrows her savings for a mysterious need. Joyce's mother takes a room in the same house to keep watch over her, and becomes a strange shadow in the girl’s life, intriguing with both Deacon and Seltzer, while the father urges Tompkins’ suit. With this background, start the story with Joyce facing the world alone at 18, as any spunky girl would when thrown on her own resources by the breaking up of her home. CHAPTER XI New Pastures Joy’s letter which Mrs. Jenkins gave her in the morning was from Deke. “I’ll be back Friday of next week,” he wrote, “and you have an unbreakable date with me for all of that evening and part of the adjoining morning.” Joy tucked the letter in the pocket of her dress. Somehow It gave the whole world a different color to have this letter from Deke. “I wonder if I’m really falling in love?” she asked herself. “It’s a totally delicious sensation,” and she blushed at the thought and caused a passing youth to fall oyer the curb when he turned to look after her loveliness. Instruction at the exchange grew a little more compnicated that day. Early in the afternoon she was sent with the two other most proficient girls in her class to the main switchboard to observe. She was fascinated by the row of girls plugging in to busy yellow lights, responding to an emergency red light sending streams of talk all over the city. “Even their backs look busy,” she half whispered to her companion. Would she ever be so sure of herself that she could lean across to a neighbor and ask, “What do you think of my new neck shave?” The week drew to a close. There were daily letters from Deke, an Indian rug that he bought for her in the mountains, a box of maple sugar. Butch met her Friday after work and bought her a soda and a box of candy. But she found him as dull as on the night of their date. She wanted excitement and told him so. His eyes gleamed at her. "I could show you some, kid,” he promised her. “But it ain’t time yet. Wait until you and me's better acquainted.” And she found herself vaguely troubled by something in his voice. She went to Euclid Beach with Davey, Saturday night. After the dancing, they went to see Mrs. Daring, who received Davey more cordially than ever before. When it was time for her shift to end she smiled at the two young people and said “Take Joyce along, Davey, I’ve got a date of my own tonight.” Davey felt a strong sense of distaste. Could she mean this, Joy’s mother? Was chasing about with other men already? He held Joy’s arm tighter than was necessary as they walked out toward Mrs. Jenkins.’ “How’d you like me to get a little egr of some kind to take you riding this summer, Joy?” he dsked. “Oh, could you, Davey? How wonderful.” Joy gave a skip to show her delight. “Well,” said Davey, “the competition’s getting pretty strong. Deke has a car, Butch has a car, you’ll be buying one for yourself one of these days when you get rich as a

telephone girl. Got to keep up with the procession even if it does mean hitting the old savings account a wallop.” “Don’t do it unless you really want to,” said Joy swiftly. “Joy! You aren’t going to be angry with me, are you?” his tone was pleading. “No, Davey,” said Joy honestly. “I couldn’t be —for long at a time.” They parted and Joy went listlessly up the steps. going to spend Sunday afternbon with Dad’s. “Davey’ll be there, I suppose. I wish we could just be friends,” she thought wistfully. Gladys was in the room, dressed in jier kimono, putting a clay-pack on her face. “I’m a sight huh?” sha asked, for Joy was genuinely startled at the sight of her covering herself with sticky mud. They talked for a little, then Joyce went to bed to sleep until noon the next day. When she woke Gladys was sitting propped up in bed writing a letter. “Just got through,” she said. “A letter to the party I sent that money to. Joy, you’ll never know what it meant to me to have that mdney to send just now. Some day I’ll tell you. Say, I talked to the supervisor down at the switchboard about you and she thinks maybe they can take you on. She wants you to come in to see her some day next week. I'll let you know when.” “I think that would be lots more fun than working in an exchange,” said Joy. “Yep,” Gladys nodded her head. “Lots of chance to go out, theater tickets, baseball tickets, the whole smear. We girls in the cloak room ain’t allowed to make dates with the men in the hotel. But the telephone girls can do as they please.” “Eve got all the boy friends I want right now,” said Joycs a little consciously. “Tell me about ’em. Let Gladys give you the low-down on the whole bunch. A month from now you won’t know any of ’em, I’ll bet. Joyce was glad of a confidante. “Well, I suppose I ought to name Davey first. “Old reliable?” asked Gladys. “I suppose so. He’s about four years older than I am. Mother used J to let him push my baby carriage around when I was about a year old. We played together when I got big enough to walk, and even after I started to school and the boys teased him about it, he used to walk home with me. He’s a salesman now. When I was in the eighth grade he took me to a football game—he was a senior in high school then. It’s funny, but that was the nicest thing he ever did, I guess.” “Wants to marry you and preserve you in sugar of love with nobody around but Dave, doesn’t he?” commented Gladys. “Something like that. Then there’s Butch Seltzer. He’s nearer my own age, about two years older. He quit school in the seventh grade and got to be the leader of a tough gang out our way. He’s never been arrested or anything like that, but everybody says he makes a lot of money somehow that isn't right. He’s always been nice to me, except one time he tried to make me go riding with him. Acted like a regular gas hawk, but he was sorry afterward.* “What stopped him?” Gladys asked. “Another friend of mine, Henry Deacon. He happened to be going past and he made Butch let me go.” “Tell me some more about your hero. I don’t like the sound of the other two. One’s too tame, the other ain’t good enough for you.” Gladys shifted to a more comfortable position. “Deke? There isn’t much to tell. He’s abqut Davey’s age, no, older, a little. He finished high school the year I started and then went off to

college. He’ll be through next year. His father owns a big chemical business and Deke’s going into that when he finishes at Yale. He nearly ran over me in his Marmon a couple of weeks ago, and that started our seeing a lot of each other.” “He sounds like the real stuff,” said Gladys. “Rich dad, good looking, I suppose, a Marmon car. Ought to know about your folks If you’re going to marry him.” Joyce flushed at the directness of this remark. “My goodness.” she said impatiently. “Why does everybody talk about getting married all the time? I don’t want to get married.” “You just think you don't,” said Gladys. “Wait till one of those beaus of yours starts trotting around with another Jane. Then you’ll want to be married fast enough. Probably marry one of them just for spite.” ”1 would not!” said Joyce indignantly, getting out of bed. She felt a longing for her mother. She and Mother dear had spent so many happy Sunday mornings together. But it would never do to go up to “Mrs. Martin's” room she supposed. Davey brought her home from the apartment early that evening. He had moved his books and belongings over that morning and Joy helped him put them in order. She felt very tired as she climbed the stairs to her room, and went immediately to bed. About the middle of Monday morning she was called to Mrs. Fisher’s office. “Good morning, Miss Daring, are you still finding the w<k interesting?” “Yes, I am, Mrs. Fisher,” Joyce answered, smiling. “I have a query here about you. It is from the supervisor of the switchboard at Hotel Statler. One of their operators is leaving the first of July and she asks if I thjnk you capable of taking the place. It seems you have been recommended to her by some girl already in the hotek employ.” “I did want to try and get that place, if I can do the work by that time,” said Joyce. “The girl I room with works at the hotel and we thought we’d like to work in the same place.” “I see,” said the older woman. "Usually We fill such requests from the ranks of experienced operators. Some of them like the exchange work better though, and I don’t believe there would be any dissatisfaction over your taking the place by preference this way. I’ll ask Miss Detrich to put you on the regular switchboard at once, so you can have a little more intensive experience.” Joyce thanked her and left the room walking on air. The next day she went to see Miss Scanlon, in charge of the Statler board. It was about 4:30 and Gladys had time to leave her post and Conduct Joy across the lobby to Miss Scanlon’s desk. Then she went back to mount guard over the “tea-hats,” as she called them. Joyce found Miss Scanlon a pleasantly pretty woman of thirty, a vast age to Joy. They talked about the vacant position and Joyce went back to watch the girls busy at the board. Joy’s eagerness interested the supervisor. “If you’re not quite ready by the first of July,” she said in parting, “I think we could get along a week. Summer isn’t our busiest time and I wouldn’t mind being short handed a few days, until you were ready for the place.” Joyce flashed Gladys a triumphant nod of the head as she weht down the lobby to the avenue. Gladys winked, then turned td restore the hat of one of her elderly tea drinkers. Joyce cast a rapid glance about her. She had never been in the lobby of a big hotel before. How thrilling to go in and out of here casually, a part of all this grandeur. •

But Butch, whom she met on the way home, was less thrilled. “Don't like your being there where all those fresh rich guys come round all the time,” he grumbled. “Why, I won’t even see them, or they me, most of the time,” argued Joyce. “The only time I see any of the hotel guests is when I go out to work in the pay station, and I'll be busy there, and then men aren’t the only kind of people that stay at hotels.” “They’re the .only kind interested

ANGRY, SPREADING RASH ON BABY’S BODY Checked and healed by soothing ointsent “When my baby was four motiths old, little red pimples which resembled heat or teething rash appeared on her body. I used various baby powders, but the trouble kept spreading until nearly all the lower part of her body was covered. Then it began to look white and scaly and I knew it was more than an ordinary rash. I decided to try Resinol Ointment, and after the first two or three applications I noticed an impre vement. I kept on using this ointment, however, and bougnt some Resinol Soap to bathe her with. The result was that the trouble completely disappeared. 1 have always used Resinol Soap for her bath since. She is two years old now, and her skin is absolutely free from any blemish. When my boy began to have ringworms, I was so persistent in the use of Resinol Ointment that they were soon cleared away. I wouldn't be without Resinol in the house, and at the least sign of any eruption on the children, I use It.” (Signed) Mrs. L. E. Crenshaw. 7806 Lou Dillon Ave., Los Angeles, Cal., July 28.—Advertisement.

During the winter months I would often sit up until two o’clock in the morning—my breathing was so bad I couldn't lie down. 1 had no appetite and was so weak from coughing and wheezing I could hardly walk across the room. I never expected to have anything more than a little temporary relief, never expected to be well again, and was fearfully blue and discouraged when I happened to read in a newspaper what Nacor had done in other severe eases. I tried it as n last resort. 1 commenced taking Nacor Nov. 17th, Wednesday noon, and by Sunday I was a different woman. Mv asthma and cough grew less steadily. I haven't finished my second bottle, but. my cough has left me.

in pretty girl3, though,” said Butch in the same surly tone. "I don’t think your mother ought to let you do this.” "They parted # with this shadow of a quarrel between* them. “I don’t care,” thought Joyce, and unlike most “don't cares” this was a real one. It was nearly midnight and she was sleeping soundly when Mrs. Jenkins shook her awake. Tomorrow—Three men and n maid! What is the poor girl to do? She has tried the ways of two of them, and the third is rushing back from an enforced absence, promising all kinds of delicious pleasures.
