Synopsis Joyce Daring is making her own way at 18, when her parents separate. Her mother disappears mysteriously after being shot accidentally by “Butch” Seltzer, a gang leader who is mad about Joyce. Henry Deacon, her wealthy lover, leaves to finish his college work, and she is forsaken but for David Tompkins, a childhood admirer. A new dress she buys while shopping with Carter Deland, a bachelor clubman, starts gossip which she hears at the hotel where she is telephone operator. Gladys Warner, her roommate, urges her to return the dress, but Deland leaves town. CHAPTER XXIII More Fuel Joyce spent the afternoon in feverish preparations for the move to the new flat which she and Gladys had taken. She called a moving van. She packed her trunk and Gladys’. She went to the new apartment on 23rd street, for the girls had wanted to be nearer the city, and inspected the state of the floor and window’s. Intruding on all these activities was the suave voice saying, “Mr. Deland has left the city to be gone several days.” “Lots of women call him up I suppose," she thought a little scornfully. “I’m just another foolish girl to that man at his club.” She felt that she really should go over to the old apartment and do some packing. But she feared to meet Davey there. Davey might ferfet her trouble out of her. It was a knack he had. Soon after dark she returned to her room. “There’s a package come for you,” said Mrs. Je.nkins. Joy carried the box, a large and interesting one, upstairs. “Something from Dcke,” she thouught with delight. She tore off the wrapping and untied the cord too hastily to notice the imprint of a Cleveland store. Lifting the lid she gasped. Someone had read her wish of the day before. Silk underwear in lovely pastel shades, silk stockings, several pairs of gloves, three pairs of slender shoes in varied sizes, and a soft sport hat of suede rolled into a flexible bunch. On top was a letter bearing her name. “Dear Miss Daring: I foresaw that there might be some disagreeable talk over our being at the Clover Club for dinner last night. I am called away on business for a few days and that will give the talk a chance to die a natural death. Don’t mind what anyone says. I am one of those unfortunate men whose attempts at friendship are often misinterpreted. Pity me, I am very lonely. I hope you will accept this box of trifles as proof of my sorrow over having subjected you to gossip. I should have permitted our friendship to dawn slowly on certain eyes, rather than let them glimpse it in full bloom. Devotedly yours. Carter Deland. ‘ ± expect to be in New Haven in the course of my trip and will make it a point to see Deke and tell him you are well, if somewhat lonely for him. C. D.” Joyce was still holding this letter when Gladys came in. She made a helpless gesture and turned the box over to her friend. "My Gawd!” breathed Gladys, turning over the finery. “Which one sent you this?”

Joyce handed her the letter. “Well, you're some little gold digger,” was Gladys’ remark when she had finished. Joyce began to laugh. “What am I going to do about it?” she asked hysterically. “Well, this here’s stuff that nobody will see much, so you might be safe in keeping it. It’s swell, ain't it? Seems a shame to send it back. I don’t know what to say. That guy’s too much for me.” She sat on the bed and looked through the box once more, told her the day’s happenings. “Gee, that’s fierce to have that old maid on your trail,” she said. “If it were me I’d make a big bundle of all this junk and throw in the dress for good measure. Then I’d send it all up to Deland’s club. But you couldn’t do that. You’re not that kind.” “No, I’m not,” Joyce agreed soberly. “I wish Deke wore here.” "Carter Deland wouldn’t bother you if Deke were here,” said Gladys. “Why don’t you concentrate on that Davey Tompkins for a while. He’s a good looking fellow and bats about you?” “I’ve got a date with him for tomorrow night,” said Joyce. “Davey’s a real friend.” ‘ The girls were quiet for a time. “Got something to tell you, Joyce,” said Gladys. “Don’t know how you’ll take it. But my advice is to sit still and not make a fuss.” “What is it?” asked Joyce, thinking instantly of her mother. “Hop, ‘the Statler detective,’ is back. I think he’d like to help you if he could,” Gladys glanced up to see the effect of her words. “In what way?” Joyce asked. “Oh, let him run down anything you hear about your mother,” Gladys spoke carefully. “Do you really think he could help?” Joyce asked wistfully. The wild pain of her mother’s disappearance had gone. But there was a dull ache whenever she thought of her, sick, alone, hiding from all the world. “I’m sure he could,” said Gladys convincingly. “Then I’ll be nice to him,” Joyce promised childishly. "There’s just two kinds of men,” Gladys ruminated, looking again at the bax of pretty things. “The kind that takes, and no matter how it looks they just take, they won’t pay. And the kind that gives. This Carter Deland takes. He’ll never give you anything but a bad reputation.” ’ You haven't iold me yet what to do with this stuff,” Joyce said. “Give it to charity,” suggested Gladys flippantly. “I’ll have to wait until he comes back and then tell him I don't want any of his things, I guess,” Joyce
kk Requests on Street Lights Must Get in Early,
Mr. Fixit Is Tho Times' representative at the city hall. It you will write him your troubles in rare of The Times, signing lull name and address, he will do all In liis power to help you. All letters are published as anonymous. A large part of the complaints received by Mr. Fixit lately ask for lights in various sections of the city. At this time the works board is cutting out lights in various parts of tho city because it hasn’t enough money to pay for all of them. All lighting reductions must be made by April 1, according to contract with the light company. City Engineer Chester C. Oberleas, who has charge of this work, told Mr. Fixit that he would be glad to receive all suggestions for lights in the next two or three days. He declared that he would investigate every suggestion and if the light is really needed would see that it was either added to the list or kept on the list now. One of the complaints received by Mr. Fixit: Dear Sir: We are in need of a street light at the intersection of N. Kenyon Ave. and Shelby St. Wc will appreciate anything that you can do to assist us. A. E. M. Oberleac told Mr. Fixit that he would see that tho light is placed at the above location. Dear Sir: Will you see that the outdoor toilets are cleaned at Martindale Ave.? MRS. L. R. Dr. Herman G. Morgan, board of health secretary, said that he would see that this is attended to at once. Dear Mr. Fixit: Please see if you can have the section of E. TwentySixth St., between Sherman Dr. and Denny St., graded and cindered. It is one big mud hole in winter and just one chuck hole after another in summer. MRS. E. B. Street Commissioner George Woodward promised Mr. Fixit that as soon as the graders were brought out for the spring grading program the street would receive attention.

decided. And the two girls made ready for bed. Joyce had just finished dressing the next evening when Davey called for her. “Ten days since I saw you Joy,” he said half-reproachfully, taking her hands. “More than that it seems, Davey,” she said, truly glad to see him. “Got a real surprise lor you,” he announced. “Where is it?” “It's outside. Come on." He led the way. There by the curb was parked a shiny new Ford coupe. “I know you’re used to riding in a Marmon,” he said good naturedly, “But this will get us there.” “Oh, Davey, it’s fine! When did you get it?" “I’m going to use it In my sales trips now,” said Davey. “The company is going to give me gasoline and oil allowance and give me a lot larger territory, too. I’ll be making fifty dollars a week with ten a week for up-keep, beginning the first of October. llow does that sound?" “It sounds pretty fine,” said Joyce. “Come on, let’s start. I'm wild to try it.” So they drove about, the cool evening making the closed windows comfortable and giving Davey the illusion of being utterly alone with his beloved. They drove out through anew allotment where small neat houses were struggling with an untidy landscape. “Like it out here, Joy?” Davey asked. "It's nice,” said Joyce, soothed by his steady presence. “Would you like to do something for me?” he asked, when they were ready to eat. “I’d love to, Davey.” “Then let me buy some things to cook and you get them ready in the kitchen of the apartment on 78th street. You’ll be moving things away from there soon.” “But Dads won’t be there, will he?” Joyce asked doubtfully. “We’ll drive over to the boarding house afterward to see him. Please, Joy, just this once.” “All right. But please Davey—” “No, I won’t try to make love or talk about getting married,” he said. Then sharply, “Joyce. You’re not engaged, you didn’t promise Henry Deacon before he went away—” Joyce held up her left hand. “See any diamond?” she asked. “No, I didn’t promise anything, Davey. And I’m not going to until Motherdear is found. I’ve told Deke that and I tell you that. The reward I’m offering expires next month and I'm not going to renew it. Instead, when I'm sure she won't come back of her own accord. I’m going to use it to go to hunt for her myself. Meantime I’m just going to work and play a little and read a good deal and wait to see what does happen.” “That’s fine,” Davey approved, beaming. They had a merry supper. “That was nice, Davey,” Joyce said gratefully, as they locked the apartment and went down to the 'waiting Ford epti thence to her father's boarding house. Dads was glad to see her. She told him about the apartment she and Gladys would move into the following week. “You’re all invited to dinner next Sunday, a week,” she declared. “Glad and I will do the cooking and you and Davey will have to wash the dishes afterward. How’s that?” The men accepted and after half an hour Joyce and Davey left. The box of finery and the new dress still adorned the dresser when she got in> She had decided to give them back to Carter, but she felt she must try to make him see that it was because she herself really did not want them, not because of what people would say. As she went to the dresser to take off her hat she noticed two yellow envelopes stuck in the edge of the mirror. “Deke,” she exclaimed guiltily.
