SYNOPSIS Joyce Daring is made homeless when her parents separate. A second tragedy makes her hopeless, when her mother is shot and her lover, Henry Deacon, is badly hurt in a fight with•" Butch” Seltzer, a gangster, who is mad about her, and has some hypnotic power over her mother. She calls her father, John Daring, when she is told her mother’s condition is serious. Shocked by his wife’s new associations, John Daring wants nothing to do with her, and tries to persuade Joyce to leave her, too. CHAPTER XVII Mother Love Joyce shook herself free from her father's demanding hand. “I’m not going,” she said dully. John Daring turned away. At the door he paused to look back once more at Jayce, her sweet young face drawn and contracted by the cruelty of living. For a moment he wavered. Then Iris stanch Scotch orthodoxy confirmed him in his decision and he left the hospital with no further word to his daughter. He went up through the city to Euclid Ave. and took his car for the apartment. He opened his Bible and began to read: “The way of the unrighteous is death.” He turned the leaves of his Bible: "Judge not that ye be not judged.” John Daring fell to his knees to pray. His soul wrestled over the right and wrong of his refusing aid to Joyce and his wife. “The way of the unrighteous is death.” “Judge not that ye be not judged.” While he thus struggled with him self. Joyce was waiting by her mother's bedside.’ “I don’t care what she’s done.” the girl thought passionately. “I’m going to stick with her. She’s my mother. That’s all that counts.” Presently Dr. MacDonald came in. He looked at Mrs. Daring's chart, felt her pulse, and talked to the nurse in a low tone. “We are going to give your mother a stimulant,” he told Joyce. “There was something she seemed very anxious for you to know this morning. I think she will be able to talk to you soon. Wait out there in the corridor until we call you.” The nurse sponged a bit of skin on the left arm with alcohol. Dr. McDonald made a skillful Jab with a needle. For a moment there was no change in the color and breathing of the sick woman. Then she sighed, opened her eyes, and smiled faintly at the two people standing beside her. "Joyce, Joy. my daughter.” she questioned. Her voice grew stronger and she made an effort to turn herself in bed. “If you will lie perfectly quiet,” said Dr. McDonald, “I will let you talk to your daughter. She Is waiting in the hall. Don’t excite yourself more than you can hetfp.” "I must tell her something,” said Mrs. Daring. “All right, but keep as quiet as you can.” The doctor left, stopping to speak to Joyce a moment in Ihe hall. “Don’t let her get too excited,” he said. “But she feels she must talk to you and I think it is better for her to relieve her mind now. Don’t be shocked. Sick people often have strange fancies.” Joyce thanked him and went to her mother’s room. “Joy!” Mrs. Daring lifted a thin aim and drew her daughter’s face close to her Own. “Motherdear, oh Motherdear. You are better, aren’t you? You look different. I think you’re going to get well, right away.” Joyce fought to keep from crying. “There’s something I must tell you,” she said. “Promise Joy that you will understand, will try to understand. Don’t hate me for what Ive done. It has all been for you. It was wrong, I know’ that now. But don’t judge me too harshly.” Joyce kissed her mother for answer. “Two years ago,” said Mrs. Daring, letting her hand lie in Joy’s two warm ones. “Two years ago there was a man who the restaurant quite often. IRTstopped to talk to me as customers often do. Often he came in late when I was behind the counter and I would serve him his > supper.” “One night he asked me why T didn’t do something that would bring me more money than working in a restaurant. I asked him to show me the way and he sdid he would.

“He told me that he and several other men were bringing in whisky and gin from Canada and when they could get it from other bootlegging places, too. A great deal of it they sold in cases that was the most profitable way. But there was a lot of money to be made too in selling it by the bottle, or if they could find a safe place, by the drink. "They had to keep changing the places where they sold it to avoid the police. All he wanted me to do was to know the name or number of the place where the liquor was sold. Then whenever I saw a chance to send them a customer I was to do it. Their regular customers were to know that I was in touch with the changes in places too buy liquor and were to ask me. using a certain form, so I wouldn’t give the information to the wrong person. "It seemed very, simple. They would pay me a cbmmlsslon on the business I brought them, as each customer was supposed to tell where he had gotten his instructions. "I thought about it for several weeks. You were a junior in high school then. I wanted you to have more pretty clothes. I wanted more pretty things for myself. I wanted to fix it so you would never have to worry as I have had to worry about the nagging little things in life. "I see now that I was wrong.

For no one has gained any happiness out of the money I’ve made. But when I thought about it then it seemed to me that the whole miserable scheme of life could be managed if one just bad the money to manage it.” She paused to breathe and Joyce smiled reassuringly at her. “I finally said yes.” Mrs. Daring continued. “It seemed like such an easy thing to do. I memorized the names and addresses that were given me. I answered the inquiries of regular clients. As 1 grew more used to it I would ask customers If they didn't wish they could get a good drink. “I would kid them about it for a day or so until I was sure they were really interested, then I would give them the address. What made it easier was that they always know the exact location of the number I had told so glibly so many times. It was a small confectionery store and I couldn’t resist the impulse to turn in to see it. “The proprietor was one of those men who like to bully women. He didn’t care whether he sold any candy or soft drinks anyhow with the bigger business lie was in. I asked for a bar of chocolate, and he was very slow and surly In getting it. So, jusf to impress him I asked hi n for a drink, giving him the formula. “He looked at me with surprise and doubt. “ ’lt’s all right,’ I told him laughing at his puzzled face, ‘l’m the signal giver downtown.’" His face cleared up at that. He asked me if I really wanted a drink and I said no. I just wanted to surprise him. We were talking about the trade wtien the door opened and a young, fellow came in. “‘I didn’t pay any attention to him, but the proprietor said in a jolly tone, ‘Here’s the lady that sends us a lot of customers, Butch.’ ” “It was Butch Seltzer. It seems he was, and is, the head of the truck brigade that brings the liquor here from over the border or from the “He recognized me. ’You re crazy, Joe,’ he said. ‘I know this lady. She lives out on my streeet. I know her girl, played with Joy when I was a kid, didn’t I, Mrs. Daring?” "I was frightened half to death and would have signaled the proprietor to keep still. But he was as bent now on surprising and impressing Butch as X had been on impressing him a minute before. “So he insisted, said I knew the signal, and so on, until I had to admit to Butch that I was the downtown decoy. Butch didn t say much, but I couid tell he was thinking of something. “A few days later he was waiting in his car when I came out of the restaurant. He asked me to ride and I didn’t dare refuse. He told me then that he wanted to marry you. He said he was In no hurry. All he wanted was a chance to see you, and assurance from me that I wouldn’t Interfere If he got you interested. “He seemed to be willing to wait and that was all that was said then.

IN DESPAIR OVER PIMPLY, RED SKIN iiuei and bbhb— Mil IS LOOK M Healed at last, quickly and easily ‘I have been a sufferer from a most unsightly skin disorder, my face being full of pimples and blackheads and my complexion was very muddy. It was very ugly to look at as it was red and fiery and it annoyed me by itching and burning. I tried many treatments, but got no relief. When I was a small baby I had eczema on my body and my mother used Resinol Ointment on it and she recommended it to me at this time. In desperation I decided to send for a sample of Resinol. After using the sample I bought more Resinol as I was convinced it was a splendid remedy. After I had applied it four times, the pimples began to heal and at the end of two weeks they had entirely disappeared. Now, I have such confidence in Resinol Ointment I would not be without it.” (Signed) Mrs. Alton D. White, R. F. D. 11, Charlotte, Mich., Oct. 21.—Advertisement.

“Dads, mother is dying”

But every once in a while he would be waiting for me and would talk about you. I began to feel pretty safe because I knew that he really loved you. You were all that was good and sweet and pure in life to him. his religion I believe. I knew that unless he was crazy drunk he would never .harm you, so I let him talk, and encouraged him a little to think that you might some day take an interest in him. “But when this spring came around he got more insistent. You remember that he asked you to ride with him, a number of times. Then when Deke came into the picture Butch went wild. I had a terrible time with him. He threatened to kill Deke, lie wanted to carry you off. He wanted to turn me over to the police. But he never quite dared to do any of these thfngs because of the danger of involving himself. “Meantime I was saving money, and 1 was able, just after you left home to send several big customers who bought by the case instead of the bottle, to the blind tiger. I made over a thousand dollars in June.” Joyce thought involuntarily of the lovely watch her mother had given her. As though reading her mind. Mrs. Daring gave a faint nod of her head. “Yea,” she said- “The watch was part of ray earnings. I began to dream of having enough money to take us both away, east somewhere, where we could both work and you could wait until Deke was through college. “Then yesterday afternoon just as I was going on duty, Butch came into the restaurant. He had been drinking, not much, just enough to make him ugly. He had been watching for you and had seen you go away with Deke. “We followed you yesterday afternoon and while you were at dinner Butch told me he had decided to kidnap you. He said he would marry you if you would let him, but that it you wouldn’t he would keep you hidden away, force you to accept him as your lover, and then she’ll be glad to marry me,’ he said. “I protested. We had a bad quarrel and at the end of it, he tied my hands, threw me into the back seat of the car and drove after you. I think he kept me with him to reassure you. Foi\ Joy, although he is a bad man, he truly loves you as far as he is capable of love. “Now you know the story, why I’ve wanted to watch over you, why I wanted ‘Mrs. Martin,’ not ‘Mrs. Daring’ to be the guilty one if

tilings went wrong and an exposure came. There isn’t any more to tell. Joyce. I’m sorry, terribly, sorry, sorry,”— her voice trailed off. Her head dropped on her bare shoulder. Joyce called loudly for the nurse. She stood by clenching her hands while the nurse tried to rouse her mother. She watched Dr. McDon old dumbly while lie worked over her. She sat in the hall a long hour, an hour that her father spent on his knees, praying for a light. He was on his knees some time later when the door opened. Below sounded the chug-chug of a waiting taxi cab. “Dads,” said Joyce quietly, "Mother dear is dying. She needs a blood transfusion which may save her. They can’t use me because my blood isn’t the right type. Will you come to see if you are?” John Daring rose to his feet.
