Synopsis Joyce Daring is made homeless when her parents separate. She is pursued by “Butch” Seltzer, a gangster who is mad about her,’ and who fights her lover, Henry Deacon, for her. Her mother Is accidentally shot in the fight. Fearful of death, Mrs. Daring tells Joyce of her association witli Seltzer in a bootleg ring. John Daring gives his blood in a transfusion to save his wi f e’s life, but fails to effect a reconciliation with her. CHAPTER XIX Deserted "Judge not that ye be not judged.” John Daring knew that he had failed once more as he turned from his „ wife’s room and followed Joyce down the hall. Ho prayed steadily for another chance. "I will tear thie past from my mind,” he thought. In Dr. McDonald’s office he waited with Joyce for last news from the sick room. Joyce looked unseeingly at her father. “I tried, Lass,” he said, humble in answer to her unspoken reproach. "I know you did,” she said, patting his hand. “I will make her believe me the next time,” he promised. "You must really forgive her,” said Joyce, gently, “for unless you mean It she will know that you are only pretending." The entrance of the doctor put a stop to their talk. He looked professionally at John Daring and then turned to Joyce. "You really think she is a.l right now?” the girl questioned him earnestly. "She’ll pull through now. I’m sure,” Dr. McDonald told her. “Say, your friend Deke’s down in my office. He wanted to come up, but I told him not to disturb you.”

Mr. Daring’s face darkened at Dr. McDonald’s words. Then he remembered. He was no longer to judge. So with unwonted meekness he followed Joyce to the doctor’s office. There he shook hands stiffly with Deke, and turned aside the other’s praise of his having submitted to the transfusion for Mrs. Daring., Deke held a folded newspaper in his hand. He kept it carefully from Joy’s sight. “Are you going home?” he asked "I’ll drive you in a few minutes. I want to wait to see Mac a moment." “We’ll wait out here,” said Joy, leading her father to the door. “With you in a jiffy,” said Deke, as Dr. McDonald came in from the ward. “See this?” said Deke, opening the paper. The headlines shrieked of a large cache of contraband liquor discovered by federal agents. “Well 9 ” questioned the doctor. “Joy’s mother's mixed up in it,” said Deke, soberly. “Sorry, old man,” McDonald was Immediately all sympathy. “I don’t think they can hold her as anything save a material witness. She only acted as sort of information bureau as I understand it. They knew her as Mrs. Martin. That’s the way she is mentioned in the papers. Poor Joy.” “There’s nothing anyone can do to her for a while," said Dr. MeDonaW. “She's too sick for questioning even. Did they get that fellow you mixed It up with the other night?” "No, worse luck. He got away the same night.” Deke laid the paper on the doctor’s desk. “Well, I’ll be running along. Anything you can do to save Joy you’re doing for me, you “I’ll remember,” Dr. McDonald promised. Joyce returned to work the next morning. News that her mother was ill filtered through the hotel. Mrs. FitzSimons sent in a basket of fruit for her to take over to Motherdear. The manager, Mr. Robertson, whom she was Introduced to a day later, inquired kindly after her mother’s health. Mrs. Deacon sent more flowers. Davey telegraphed her and appeared at the end of the week with a par[|el of books and magazines for Boyce to take over to the hospital. She was still the only visitor permitted her mother, though in a few days Mrs. Daring would be counted strong enough to see her husband again. “Do you think lie’s really changed?" Mrs. Daring asked wistfully, one evening. “I’m sure he has,” said Joyce. "How much does your father know?” asked Mrs. Daring, after a little pause. "I haven’t told him anything and he doesn’t asked any questions,’ said Joyce, slowly. “Did you tell Deke?” “Yes, I did, Motherdear. I felt 1 had to, that you would want me to. But with Dads it ( is different. I think you should decide about telling him.” “Do you think he mnst be told?” Mrs. Daring enjoyed the comfort of being able to lean on Joyce. “I don’t know, Motherdear. I honestly don't. In some ways I think you should. Nothing you’ve done could —could —•” “Make him not want to live with me again,” finished Mrs. Dai’ing for the girl. “No, I have always been truthful to him. He had a quality about him that commands that — knd then,” half to herself, “I have always loved him.” Joyce squeezed her mother’s hand. “Then I’d tell him,” she said. “Tell him first about how you’ve always loved him, and then tell him just as you told me. Then nothing ever need come up out of the past to frighten you.” Mrs. Daring nOdded. “That sounds right,’ she said. “I must think about it, though.” Joyce was late reaching the hospital the next day. As she paused at the desk to greet the afternoon nurse she noticed a familiar figure going down the hall. “I know that man, but I can’t think who he is,” said Joyce puzzled. "That’s Mr. Hopkins, the detective from the Statler,” said the nurse. “Oh, yes, I do remember now,” said Joy. “What’s he doing here?” “He must know your mother, said the nurse. "He's been in there talking to her for more than an hour. Said he was Just making a friendly call.” Joyce found Mrs. Daring flushed and pretty, half sitting up in bed. But though she gave her mother several openings, no mention was made to the detective’s visit. Joyce left, visibly depressed. Deke was waiting for her and noticed it.. “Mother worse?” he asked sympathetically. “I don’t know,” said Joyce. Then she told him about Hopkins, ihs

talk with her at the hotel and his visit to her mother. “I’ve been afraid of something like this right along,” said Deke, soberly. You see they have caught the big fellows in this ring, and now they’re after the little fish and all the evidence they can get. The most they can do to your mother is to fine her and they’d probably suspend that.” “It would be a good deal of a disgrace for ue though,” said Joyce thoughtfully. “Deke, Is there the slightest chance of your being mixed up in it?” "Not unless they catch Butch. Then I’d be glad to go on fifty witness stands to help put him out of the way. I don’t feel safe about you as long as he’s at large.” “I couldn’t bear to have you mixed up In it,” said Joyce “Don’t be silly,” said Deke. “Next thing I know you'll be asking me not to call for you and cheat me out of the only time I do see you.” “That’s just what I was thinking of,” said Joyce. And she couldn't held laughing at Deke'a disgusted look. “You try that, young lady, and there'll be big bad trouble, and another kidnapping, maybe.” Joyce leaned comfortably against liis shoulder. “Tired?” he asked. "Want to ride for a while?” Joy shook her head. How could she tell him that she was so lonely, so hungry for "sympathy tonight that she was afraid of promising him too much if she were alone with him along the highways in the fragrant summer night. So a slightly puzzled and disconcerted Deke let her down at Mrs. Jenkins. There In the parlor sat Davey. “I hope you’ll excuse my waiting here like this for you, Joye,” he said. There were lines in his face. He had not taken his apparent loss of Joyce lightly, and he was far from ready to give up the fight. “Davey!” Joyce held out her hands. “How nice to see you! You look tired. You’re working too herd. How is Dads?” "He seems all right,” said Davey, pleased with the sincerity of her welcome. “I came in to teil you that I'm moving back to the boarding house. I thought you might like to come home to stay until you are able to bring your mother home." “I don’t know. Davey. I'll have to think about it.” said Joy. She seemed to feel walls closing about her newly prized freedom. I'll talk it over with Motherdear tomorrow. But she was not to see Motherdear tomorrow , nor for many weary j days. The hospital called her at ten the next morning. Would Miss Daring come over at once and notify her father to come, too. It was important. No, her mother was not ! dying. They could Jell her no more | now. Joyce called her father at the factory and then fairly ran to the hospital. Dr. McDonald, the nurse, two girls from the ward room on the same floor, were all assembled. Dr. McDonald put a kindly hand . on her shoulder. “Your mother disappeared in the j night, last night, Miss Daring.” he said. “We did not notify you at j once because we did not believe a j woman in her condition could get t far. We have searched the hospital thoroughly and have asked the police to help us. She was last seen by the night nurse about 10 o'clock when she asked for some water. She left this note for you.” He gavd- her a folded slip of paper. < "Darling Joy.” she read, “there is nothing more that I could do except bring public disgrace on us all. So I am disappearing. Don't worry about me. I am alive and will be with friends when you read this. Forgive me again. Joyce. It is best for me to disappear from your life. I do it because I love you. Your mother, Agnes Daring.” Joyce stood stunned. Then her father entered. She broke under the strain. “You did this,” she cried. “You and your cold, hard ways. She was afraid, afraid because her name mignt get in the paper and you would turn her out again—oh, Motherdear, Motherdear.” The room grew black and she fell fainting to the floor. When she awoke, she was lying in a hospital bed. Her father stood at one side of ths room. Dr. McDonald was there. And Deke. He took her hand. “Here is something she left for you, Joy,” said Deke. “It came to me by registered mail this morning.” He handed Joy a thick packet bills. “There are five thousand dollars there,” he said. “She asked me to give them to you.” “I’ll use every penny of it to find her,” Joyce cried. jThe thought gave her courage. She stood up, then swayed a little.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

“Let’s all leave her alone a minute,” suggested Dr. McDonald. “I’m staying,” said Deke. He took her in his arms. m But Joyce pulled free. “Don’t talk to me about love!” she cried. 'Jl’ll never marry anybody, or love anybody either until Motherdear is found.” Tomorrow: The final blow lias fallen on our liarrassed heroine and when her mother disappears, she feels the earth has fallen away from under her feet. Career, independence, even love must wait now until she finds her mother. Start on the harrowing search with her. Read tomorrow's instalment of "Joy,” the love story of an American girl.
