CHAPTER 13 Synopsis Spunky Joyce Daring faces the world alone when her parents separate. Joyce gets a job in a telephone exchange, shares a room with a hotel check girl, and through her is put on the telephone switchboard at the hotel. She has just met Carter Deland, the Juan of the town, at a night club to which Henry Deacon, wealthy young admirer, had taken her. She has also learned that the driver of a liquor wagon looked like “Butch” Seltzer, a gang leader whose attentions she has tolerated at her mother's request. CHAPTER XIII. Polish Brr, Bny Ting-lin-ling! Joyce opened a sleepy eye. “Get up, kid!” said Gladys from her bed. , Joyco shut her eyes again and turned over. Brr, Brr. Ting-lin-ling! Joyce reached out an arm to turn off the insisting alarm clock. “No you don’t!” said Gladys, snatching the clock from the small table that stood between their two beds. Joyce sat up in bed. “This getting up at 6 o'clock is fierce,” she said. “Only an hour earlier than I’ve been getting up, but it seems like I just went to sleep.” “Glad I’m on late duty this week. Hate to get up early when it’s raining,"’ yawned Gladys, watching Joyce stretch her slim body, and gather her kimono about her. Gladys went back to sleep. Half an hour later she opened her eyes again to see Joyce, hat, raincoat, dark silk dress, standing before the mirror doing things to her face with the aid of Deke’s vanity case. “Not too much,” she warned.

She turned the pages of the etiquette book

“ Better start in modestly. Time to thicken the war paint after you’ve been there awhile.” “Shall I wear this-” asked Joyce, holding up a thin silver chain at the end of which dangled a celar purple amethyst, set in a ring of silver. It was a gift from Deke. “Don’t see why not,” said Gladys. “I’ll say this for that swell beau of yours, he’s got grand taste.” Arriving at the hotel Miss Scanlon took her to the locker room. “You’ll keep your hat and coat and other personal belongings here,” she said. "Always keep them locked up. I leave my purse in my locker, too. I think it’s a little safer, less of a temptation to anyone who is light fingered.” Back at the board she was introduced to the other girls, six of them, all well dressed, marcelled, manicured. ‘The management requires us to look our best, at all times,” Miss Scanlon explained. “You won’t need any with those natural waves of yours, but you’ll want a manicure once a week. We get a special rate in the beauty parlor at slack hours. Now you just sit here and observe until the early morning rush is over, then we’ll put you at your room switching, that’s transferring in-conting calls to guests’ rooms, the easiest thing to start on for today.” Joyce found the work very simple and by afternoon was wearing a head piece and working along with the rest. Three o’clock came with surprising swiftness. And she was amazed, too, at her weariness. “It’s the nervous strain the first day or two,” said Marian, the girl who sat next to Joyce at the switch board and who had come into the rest room with her. “After a day or two you’ll get over that. It’s nice here, don’t you think?” Full of the day’s experience, Joyce walked out to Euclid Ave. with Marian and eastward toward her mother’s place of employment. She smiled at Joyce from her little cashier’s cage. She smiled at Joyce from her little cashier’s cage. “How did it go today?” she asked. “Just fine. I watched for a while, then they let me in on the regular work. I like it a lot better than the knain exchange. The girls are nice, too.” “What are you going to do now?” Mrs. Daring asked. “I donjt know,” said Jpyce. “I feel lonesome and tired. I don’t know what to do, in fact. What time will you have supper?” “About six,” answered her mother. “Want to come in and eat with me?” Joyce nodded.. “I’ll be in then,” she said. Back on Euclid Ave. she window-

shopped for an hour, turning over her problems in her mind. Suppose she married Deke some day. He would be a college graduate in another year. Was that too much difference in education? She recalled her visit to Deke’s house on Sunday afternoon two weeks before. Mrs. Deacon had been charming and kind and itnerested. Mr. Deacon had refused to drink tea, eaten three chicken sandwiches, smoked a very black cigar and grunted at her from time to time. She had felt perfectly at east, especially when three of the Deacon dogs had dashed in, stopped perfectly still for a few minutes to inspect her, and then had presented respectful paws to be shaken while they wagged their tails friendly-wise. “Love dogs,” grunted Mr. Deacon, making one of his few understandable remarks. “So do I,” cried Joyce, fondling a shaggy head. ‘I never had one because we always lived in an apartment. I had a cat, though, and I couldn’t bear to have another one after she died.” “rt’s like losing one of the family,” agreed Mrs. Deacon, with a smile. ( “You made a hit, all right,” said Deke. “Liking dogs and not smoking, though both of my sisters do smoke, is a sure road to the old man’s heart.” Later Joyce asked her father about the Deacons. “Deke says they were poor once, that is his father and mother were,” she said. “they’d call it poor, I suppose," Mr. Daring had answered a little bitterly. "She was a judge’s daughter. His father owned a drug store. They weren’t rich as they are now, but they had plenty. Old man Deacon, this fellow's father, used to tinker around in his dad's drug store and invented some kind of chemical mixture that he patented. That’s where he got his start. He married Judge Hawkins’ girl and they came here I guess they had a hard time for awhile. But after he got started he made a lot of money. They’re nice enough for ‘rich people, I guess. But it’s ‘like keep to like,’ as I see it. Lass, and I don’t think this young Deacon means any good by you, even if he does take you out to his house. They’re sly where a pretty face is concerned.” Joyce had flushed and resolved never to mention Deke’s name to her father again. Now she turned her steps toward the library. She paused before a case of new boojts. “Etiquette,” by Emily Post. She turned its pages idly. Here was something that might help her. She had it charged and then wan-

dered about, wearied sorfiehow, by the great piles of books. She sat down by a great window in the reading room. The light fell on her hair and made a little nimbus around her face. She opened Emily Post and began to read the preface. Her attention was attracted by a party of people on a tour of inspection. Who was that tall, distinguished man with the monocle and the bored look? - Now he was looking at her. He was coming to speak to her. She closed her book hastily. “Miss Daring—is it not?” “Oh —it’s, it’s”—she was searching for his name. “Mr. Deland. Your memory of me is not very flattering, Miss Daring,” he bantered. “Oh, yes; now’ I remember. You were at the night club when Deke took me out there to dance.” She wished she could control the furious blushing that was bringing the amused look into his eyes. “I haven’t forgotten you, or that dance, either,” he said. “We must have another some day. And what is she reading?” He took the book before she could stop him. “Etiquette—Emily Post. Ah. quite ambitious, aren’t you?” He restored the book with a meaning smile, which made Joyce hate him momentarily. Then he bowed himself off and rejoined his party. “Just a little girl I’m interested in,” he explained to Mrs. Fitz-Sim-mons, who was chairman of this committee of which he formed a part. “Quite a disinterested interest ( I trust,” said Mrs. Fitz-Simmons. “Oh, quite. I want to see her improve her mind,” and he flicked a bit of dust from the cuff of his coat with a broad gesture. Joyce sat quite still, afraid to rise and go for fear of attracting more attention. Carter Deland was still the handsomest and most polished man she had ever seen. “Like a real movie villain,” she thought seriously. She smiled as she caught a dim realization of Deland’s horror if he were Po hear this comparison. When''the coast was clear and Deland’s party had passed murmuring on she left the building and walked back to Clark's. She was hungry and the plates of roast beef and gravy and mashed potatoes, the apple pie with ice cream, and the long, cool glass of iced tea set her at peace with the j world again. “See what I got?” she said, show- | ing her mother the thick blue Emily Post. I Mrs. Daring nodded. “That’s all j right,” she said, “only don't get , self-conscious over your manners. That’s the poorest kind of manner in the world. If you’ll always be your natural, kind hearted self you won’t need to worry much about form.”

“That sounds a good deal like Deke’s mother," said Joy, “though I think she knows just what to do oi every occasion.” "You can learn the forms,” said Mrs. Daring, "but you have to be born a lady—and I’ve always been proud to think you have that gift.” “Why, Motherdear, how sweet of you!” cried Joyce. “That’s the very nicest thing I ever had anybody say to me—anybody at all,” Mrs. Daring patted her arm. “Read your book of etiquette. It won’t hurt you any. Deke will kid you about it if he finds it out.” ”1 don't care,” said Joyce, tossing her head. ■ • “Yes, you do,” said her mother. "It is Deke you like best, isn’t it, Jc ?” she asked more seriously. The girl nodded.. “I like him fine. He always makes me feel like something is going to happen,Jsut I like Davey, too. He's like a good long sleep.” A man who had been watching Joyce and her mother now came around from the other sjde of the counter. “What’s the number now?” he asked Mrs. Daring. “Twenty-seven—" she answered. Joyce hardly caught the last two digits.

"Euclid?” he asked. "Yes,” and she turned back to her supper as 'he walked away. Mrs. Daring offered no explanation to Joy's look of inquiry. Eater when Joyce was walking home she watched the number she had overheard. - It was a soft dring parlor. "That looks like Butch’s car parked in front,” she thought, “but he’s at work by this time.” Tomorrow—Two shadows deepen for our heroine. She finds that she interests the Don Juan she met casually at. a dance, and her mother’s connection with a gangster becomes more inexplicable. Read tomorrow about the mystery in "JOY,” the love story of an American girl. Copyright, 1926 Famous Features Syndicate, Inc. BENEFIT BALL PLANNED U. S.

Hurry, Mother! Remove poisons from little stomach, liver, bowels Clive “California Fig Syrup” if cross, bilious or feverish

No matter what ails your child, a gentle, thorough laxative should always be the first treatment given. If your little one /is out-of-sorts, half-sick, isn’t resting, eating and acting naturally—look, Mother! see if tongue is coated. This is a sure sign that the little stomach, liver and bowels are clogged with waste. When cross, irritable, feverish, stomach sour, breath bad or has stomach-ache, diarrhoea, sore throat, full of cold, give a teaspoonful of “California Fig Syrup,” and in a few hours all the constipated poison, un digested food and sour bile gently moves out of the little bowels without griping, and you have a well, playful child again. Mothers can rest easy after giving this harmless, "fruity laxative” because it never fails to cleanse the little one's liver and bowels and sweeten the stomach, and they dearly love its pleasant taste.' Full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups printed on each bottle. Beware of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask your druggist for a bottle of “California Fig Syrup”; then see that it is made by the "California Fig Syrup Company.”—Advertisement.
