SYNOPSIS Joyce Daring faces the world alone when her parents separate. She gets a job on the telephone switchboard at a hotel, and meets the permanent residents and habitues, among them Carter Deland, wealthy man about town. On a drive with Henry Deacon, who tells him about Deland and he wants her to “watch your step.” Just then a high powered automobile drives by, and they recognize “Butch” Seltzer, a gang leader who has bothered Joyce with his attentions, and Deacon thinks lie sees Joyce's mother beside Seltzer. , CHAPTER XIV Introductions “Let her do the good-mornings today,” suggested Marian the next morning as Joyce alonif with the other girls was adjusting her headpiece. Miss Scanlon gave her a list of room numbers, each with the notation of the hour the guest wished to be called. “Ring the room, long steady rings until you get an answer. Then say, ‘Good morning. It is 7:10,’ or whatever time it is. Don’t be surprised at anything that’s said to you. No one is accountable for his actions before breakfast anyway.” She went

No Stomach Trouble or Rheumatism Now Suffered for 30 lears, Before He Found Right Road to Health. There i3 mighty good news for sick people, in a letter written by Harvey Knox, Route 2, Gaston, Ind. He feels sure other sufferers can regain health just as he did. Mr. Knox writes: “I had stomach trouble for 30 years. My stomach would bloat and cramp. The gas would crowd back my heart and the pains were awful My appetite was poor and I had to watch what I ate all the time. I also had rheumatism in my right leg below the knee, and my ankle swelled up so could hardly walk. Nothing I would take did me any good. Then I heard of Viuna and bought a bottle and right from the first I felt better. Now I feel fine. My stomach trouble is all gone. No as, none of that bloating and I m eat anything and plenty of it. Ty rheumatism is gone, doesn’t pain r swell at all, and my leg is as good a it ever was. My weight was rmerly 140 pounds and now I 'igh 157 pounds, a gain of 17 unds. I lay my present state of >d health to Viuna.” Viuna acts promptly on sluggish ■ wels, lazy liver and weak kidneys. It rifles the blood, clears the skin, rejres appetite and digestion, and brings w strength and energy to the whole dy. Take a bottle on trial. Then if u're not glad you tried Viuna, your jney will be refunded. $1 at druggists, ■: mailed postpaid by Iceland Medicine 0., Indianapolis, Ind.

back to her desk and Joyce plugged in her first call. Three long rings then a pleasarlt voice, “Yes?” “Good morning, is 7:05,” answered Joy. “Thank you, operator,” and the receiver clicked up. “Call 769,” Marian suggested. a Joy noted the time of the call, •7:10.” “It'll take you five minutes to get him out of bed. He went to a party last night. I heard him making a date yesterday afternoon. Go on, ring him now.” Joy obeyed. The long rings continued while she transferred other calls, roused two more guests, and began to wonder whether 769 were dead. At last the receiver was jerked off the hook. “Go to hell," said a j voice, and the receiver was banged I up again. . . Joyce reddened. The whole board, long used to the little comedy with 769, had been listening in, and now laughed at Joy’s discomfiture. “Never mind, honey,” said Marian. “He always does that. It’s just his charming manner. Try another one of our pets Mrs. Fitz-Simons. She always wants to be called at 7:30.” Joyce began to ring Mrs. FitzSimons. After an interval the receiver was lifted down gently.” “Good morning operator,” came a sugary voice. “Did you sleep well?” “Say, ‘yes, did you?” Marian prompted. “Yes, did you?” said Joyce par-rot-like. “Oh, splendidly. My conscience is clear and my digestion excellent. Are you sure it is 7:80?” “Seven-thirty, yes,” Joyce answered. “Your voice sounds strange. Are you anew operator?” “I am on the board for the first time this morning,” Joy told her. “We must get acquainted. I love pretty young things about me. Call me again tomorrow, won’t you? I love the sound of a fresh young voice to begin my day.” The receiver was hung up softly. Joyce looked bewildered. “She means well,” said Marian. I “She'll be in to see you some day ! soon and take you to some improving show out at the Playhouse and give you a ticket to the symphony concerts and expect you to go, too.” “Don’t be so hard on her Marian,” ■ said one of the other girls. “She's I an old fool, but she’s kind hearted enough. Remember when Floss had pneumonia last winter? Put her in a private room at Lakeside, got a lung specialist for her, and when she got better sent her to Florida i for three weeks.” This information ! was directed to Joyce. “Never actj ed high hat about that one minute. I Floss in an orphan.” | “Judge Perkins is a ri old timer, j too,” said Marian looking at the ' next name on the list. “lye's lived I here ten years, ever since his wife I and two children were killed in an j automobile accident. I like his voice.” | Joyce sent the three long rings I up to the Judge’s room. : “Good morning,” answered a deep I voice. “I am up, thank you.”

“He comes in here twice a year and gives Scanny five dollars for us to blow on whatever We want,” said Marian. Thank-you’s, grunts, “yes” in every possible variety of intonation, greeted Joy as she went on with her calls. When eight o'clock arrived, Joy's list was headed by Miss Matilda Truesdale. “She's going to call ‘Vinegar,’ said Marian, opening a line so she could hear what went on. Joy scented another oddity and rang timidly. “Miss Truesdale speaking. What is it, please?” “It’s, it’s eight o’clock,” Joyce faltered, confounded by the cold challenge of the voice. “Indeed? My watch says just ten minutes of the hour. I dc not like to be called before my usual rising time. Please do not repeat this mistake.” —- “But, but—,” Joy began miserably, looking at the Western Union sharply, cutting the connection, clock. “Don’t argue,’ whispered Marian, “She's always like that. Some mornings you’re too early. Some mornings'•you're too late. You’re never right. She toddles after Mrs. FitzSimons because Mrs. F. has money, more than Vinegar has. But where Mrs. F. is kind hearted even if she ‘is a big dumbell, this Miss Matilda Truesdale person can puncture more reputations to the minute than anybody I ever heard.” “That finishes the calls,” said Joy. “It's almost like being Introduced to people, isn’t it.” Marian nodded. “You’ll get to know their voices, no matter where they call from in time. The regulars that is. Transfers are harder, but when the same one comes back several times we get to know him, too.” “Call for you, Joy,” said one of the girls early in the afternoon. “Deke talking. Can I pick you up after work? Three o'clock? I’ll be in the lobby. Bye.” An hour before leaving time Joyce was sent out to observe the work at the pay station. She was sitting by the desk of the lobby operator when a rich voice that could only belong to a very large and very wealthy woman caught her attention. A carefully arranged face was smiling down at the operator. “Get me Fairmount —will you Miss Gibbons, and charge it to my room?” “All right Mrs. Fitz-Simons. Booth five.” “Ah, Miss Daring—here?” a lazy •voice at her elbow made Joyce lookup. “Mr. Deland!” she exclaimed half rising. “Sit still, sit still. I’m not old enough to command that token of respect from you.” His tone was | light. “See here, dear Mrs. FitzSimons, here’s that dear little lady we saw at the library yesterday. Emily Post, you know. She’s new on the board here.” Mrs. Fitz-Simons held out a bejeweled hand to the girl. “Then it was you who sang so sweetly in my ear this morning,” she said to Joyce. Joyce made no answer. Miss Gib-

bons had a bad cough suddenly. Mr. Deland laughed outright. “Come now, Mrs. F.,” he raid, “don’t tell me we’re wastrfig any operatic talent here at the Statler telephone exchange. “Just a manner of speaking, my dear Carter,” said the lady, still beaming at Joy and noting with the eye of a connoisseur the girl’s wavy brown hair, the clear grey eyes, the round contour of her face. “Don’t bother the ladies while they’re earning their living,” said Carter Deland, smiling at the girls in a way that took the patronage out of his voice. And he pulled Mrs. Fitz-Simons with him down the lobby. Joyce found Deke waiting for her when she went off dutyj They piled into the bright Marmon and turned toward the country. “Now tell me about it,” said Deke. “It’s great. I’m crazy about it.” said Joy. “I’ve met a man who says 'go to hell’ the first thing every morning when he wakes up, a wealthy society womaTKwho told me I could sing, another whom the girls call Vinegar, a Judge and a lot of other nice people, all on the telephone, of course.” “Regulars at the house?” Deke asked. “Yes. And I met one of them in person, Mrs. Fitz-Simons, and who else do you suppose?” “Someone I know?” “You introduced us.” • “Carter Deland!” Joyce nodded yes. Deke drove along for a time without speaking. “Don’t get me wrong on this Joyce,” he said. “I’m not trying to hand you any advice. I want you to find out things for yourself. But I’m going to tell you something about Carter Deland. Under that silly manner of his is one of the most fascinating personalities in the world. He owns a lot of stock in my father’s chemical factory. I know him because I've always fooled around with test tubes and things, too, and Carter’s one of the best amateur chemists in the country. That's how we happen to know each other. “Well, he’s got a lot of money, this hobby for chemistry and a sure social position. For ten years or more women have been trying to catch him for their daughters, but he always escapes just before time to pop the question.” “He wouldn’t pay any attention to me,” said Joyce, hoping at the same time that perhaps he would. “Maybe not. I’m not telling you to pass him up. I just say, like I’d say to my kid sister, 'watch your step.” had turned from the main road into one bordered by trees, green with their summer foliage. Deke slov ed the car down and re lazed with one arm thrown care lessly across Joy’s shoulder. “A penny for your thoughts, ’’ Joyce tempted him. “Did you have to read a poem called 'Comus' v.his year in school? Milton wrote it,‘ he said. “No, we didn't. What’s it about?” “It’s about a girl who got lost in a wood full of evil things. But because she was good, her purity protected her from them all. They

couldn't even tempt her.” “Do you feel that way about me?” Joy asked shyly, deeply pleased. “You bet I do,” answered Deke, trying to speak lightly. “Look out!” He swung sharply to the rignt as a big car nosed past them at beakneck speed. “Look Joyce,” he cried. “Do you know that car?” “It looked like Butch Seltzer’s," said Joyce still clutching Deke’s arm in fright. “Did you notice the woman beside him?” Deke asked her. Joyce shook her head. “Look like someone we know?” she asked. “Guess not,” he said, backing up to make a turn and retrace their route. But to himself he added, “It’s Mrs. Daring or I’m a wooden Indian." Tomorrow: Why was our Heroine’s mother—if it was her mother—driving off at breakneck speed with such a disreputable Character?
