. Synopsis Joyce Daring is left homeless when her parents separate. She gets a job as an operator on a hotel switchboard, and rooms with Gladys Warner, a check girl. Mrs. Daring disappears mysteriously, after being shot by “Butch” Seltzer, a liquor gang leader, who is mad about Joyce. .Henry Dbacon, a wealthy admirer, returns to college, leaving the field to Carter Deland, his older friend, a clubman with an unsavory reputation. A new dress she buys while shopping with Deland starts gossip and when he also sends her a box of fine underwear, she decides to return all his gifts. CHAPTER XXIV The Charmer Joyce half expected to see or hear from Carter Deland all the next day. She had sent Deke a penitent night letter, and was determined to use the time after work and before Carter’s appearance to write Deke all the news. She felt very contrite, guilty almost. But there was no message of any kind, and she home after work, wondering nervously Just how to proceed. She sat before a sheet of blank paper, ready to write to Deke. When she attempted to put the story of the week's adventures on paper she found it impossible. Yet nothing else worth telling had occurred. Going to the mirror she brushed her hair and touched up her. skin. The doorbell rang. / “That’s Mr. Deland,” thought Joy, her heart pounding in her throat. She tiptoed to the stairway and peered down. There stood Mrs. Jenkins listening as though fascinated to a ripple of polite words from Carter Deland. “Now why does he do that?” she wondered to herself. “That’s his KONJOLA BROUGHT AN IMPROVEMENT ALL THRU SYSTEM Local Man Tells How the New Medicine Restored His Health Six Months Ago. Another case in which Konjola has given lasting permanent relief was described by Mr. Charles Bain, well-known Indianapolis citizen, living at 2001 W. New York St., this city, while talking with the Konjola Man recently at the Hook Drug Store, Pennsylvania & Market Sts.,

MR. CHARLES BAIN

Indianapolis, where crowds are calling daily to hear him explain this new medicine. ‘‘l was so well benefited by Konjola,” said Mr. Bain "that it has been over six months since I have taken any medicine, and in all this time I have never had a return of my troubles. “My stomach was disordered; liver was sluggish and torpid, and my kidneys were affected, and yet, as bad as my condition had became, this Konjola medicine gave me wonderful relief so that I have improved all over my system. “My stomach caused me the worst suffering. If I ate only a few bites I would have a full feeling, and would bloat and my food would sour. My heart would burn like Are, and when I tried to sleep at nights I would roll and toss for hours, felt tired and all fagged out in the morning when I got up. I was nervous at all times, and my kidneys got so weak I bad sharp pains in my back and my limbs hurt from my knees down to the end of my toes. The liver trouble brought on dizzy headaches, bilious spells and I lost weight and strength. I tried almost everything I heard of, but I seemed to get worse Instead of better. “Well right at that time my wife began taking Konjola, and she said It was helping her so much, and she persuaded me to take this medicine. By the time I had taken the second bottle I belt better than I did in years. Now my nervousness is all gone, stomach in wonderful condition, and I’ve gained a lot of weight Konjola took effect on my whole system in just a few days. I can eat like a hungry child now, so naturally my weight and strength Is coming back. My food'is digesting properly and I don’t suffer from gas and bloating like I used to. My kidneys are in good condition, and the pains in my back and limbs are relieved. I don’t have the dizzy headaches and bilious spells any more, because my liver is in fine working order. “Konjola did me a wonderful lot of good, and so I am glad to indorse this medicine.” The Konjola Man is at Hook’s drug store. Pennsylvania and Market Sts., Indianapolis, where he is daily meeting the local public and introducing and explaining the merits of this remedy. Free sample given. Konjola is for sale by all Hook’s drug stores and by druggists in each town throughout this section.—Advertisement.

“I am very lonely. I look a vowyiever to marry. But being a man with some of the passions and desires of a man, I have taken pleasure as it came to me.”

invariable manner to every woman he meets.” “There’s a gentleman to see you, Miss Daring," said Mrs. Jenkins, appearing in the doorway. The way in which she said “gentleman” was a subtle reflection on the condition of Joy’s other callers. Joyce went down. “Good evening, Mr. Deland,” she held out her hand. “Miss Daring!” Carter took her hand and Joyce momentarily expected him to kiss it. He bowed. “You are looking your usual beautiful self,” he said. Joyce dimpled. “In spite of two days without seeing you,” she mocked. “Now you are jesting with my poor devotion,” he ’ answered with a mournful look, so apparently sincere that Joyce felt a twinge of conscience. He laughed at her downcast face, and she joined The laugh cleared the air and Joyce suddenly felt on very good terms with him. They went out to his waiting limousine. He leaned forward to speak to the driver through the speaking tube. "To the Cleveland,” he directed. “We’ll have dinner there in the grill room where it is quiet and where we can talk,” he explained to Joyce. Then he smiled at her. “I went down to New Haven from New York and found Deke rambling around the Yale campus like a lost soul. I asked him at once what was the matter and he said, "My girl’s given me a shut eye, Carter’ “She’s given you up for a handsomer man," I told him. “Meaning yourself?” he asked me. “I confessed that I had absorbed all your time since he had left and that I hoped you would write to him while I was away because I expected to keep you busier than ever when I got back. He seemed relieved and I gathered there was a really serious rival in the offing. Is there?” Joyce thought of Davey. “I suppose there Is,” she admitted. “Then I’m doing my old friend Deke a real service to take your mind from—Davey Tompkins; that’s his name, isn’t it?” “Why, how did you know?” cried Joyce off her guard. “A little bird told me. Well, I can hardly think of a nobler and at the same time pleasanter task than to keep you from thinking too much of this Davey.” “Does Deke look well?” Joyce asked, disturbed in her mind as to the real meaning of Carter’s banter. “Rather pale and thin,” Carter teased her. “As though he were not eating much.” “You’re making fun of me now,” Joyce pouted. “My dear young lady,” Carter protested, “I wouldn’t for the world!” “Yes you would,” said Joyce, winking back tears. “You let me wear that expensive dress and everybody said you’d bought it for me and I thought it only cost twenty-five dollars. As you sent all those pretty things when you know how silly it will look for me to send*them back even if I don’t want them. I don’t want them either, not one of them, nor that old dress either,” she was half sobbing now and hating herself for this’lapse into childishness. Carter patted her shoulder and picked up the speaking tube. “Drive around for a bit, Roberts,” he said. “Now see here,” he turned to the weeping girl. “You make me miserable by acting this way over such a simple thing.” “She said, Miss Truesdale said, that you were making a fool out of me. She said I had no strength of character and that you gave me five hundred dollars worth of jewelry,” Joyce was too indignant to sob any longer. “Now listen to me, Joyce,” said Carter, speaking very firmly. “You surely are not going to let a sourold maid cheat you out of the fun you have coming to you in life. That is too ridiculous for words. Why live for her approval?” “She called Deke’s mother, too,” Joyce was sobbing again. “Kind of her —and characteristic,” commented Carter. May Ibe frank with you, Miss Daring?” Joyce nodded. “I am a very lonely man,” Carter began, leaning back in the soft cush-. ions of the car. “When I was much younger I was engaged to a marvelous beautiful and pure girl. On the very eve of our wedding she died. It left me a sorrowful and for many years an embittered man. “I took a vow never to marry. But being a man with some of the passions and desires of a man, I have taken pleasure as it came to me. Life owes us all that. I may say that wherever I have found pleasure

I have also given it. I am not a good man as the world and Miss Truesdale judge a man. But I must tell you of my friendship with Henry Deacon. “He is much" younger than I, fifteen or even more years younger. I became associated with the Deacon Chemical Works, as a stockholder when Deke was but a lad. He was already interested in chemistry and his parents had fitted a small laboratory up for him in the third floor of their Fairmount Boulevard house. I went there first out of amusement and then because Deke and I found a mutual interest in a series of experiments he had stumbled on in his boyish way. “That and occasional social meetings has been the history of our friendship. We like each other splendidly as amateurs interested in a rather expensive hobby. He would hardly believe though that I cherish a deep, nay an almost brotherly affection for him. “When I saw how dearly he was becoming interested in you, I felt badly. For it seemed to me that he would be marrying far beneath him. Deke is the marrying kind, you see. Then I looked and saw your possibilities of beauty, and felt that perhaps you could become fit for the sphere of society in which, as his wife, you would move. I felt that out of my knowledge of the world I could teach you how to dress, how to talk, how to conduct yourself so Deke need never be ashamed of you. “I admit I have been somewhat clumsy in my attempts and I am going to change my plan of campaign entirely. Do I offend you with this frankness, Miss Daring?” “No,” said Joyce fa.ntly, feeling very young and small. “First you wish to return -my gifts. I will wait tonight for you to bring them to me, so that there need be no publicity for either of us about that. Then we can start all over at par.” Joyce drew a long breath of relief. Then there was to be no difficulty about returning the gifts. How sad that the beautiful girl who could have made him a fine man had died. No wonder he was bitter. She put an impulsive hand on his. “I’m awfully sorry about, about your bride dying that way,” she said. “And thank you for letting me return the gifts so easily,” He pressed her hand then leaned forward to give an order to the driver. “To the Cleveland now, Roberts.” The dinner was one that pleased Joy’s healthy appetite—lamb chops, French fried potatoes, a salad for which Carter mixed the dressing Stomach Caused Awful Suffering Was Bloated, Nervous, Sleepless and Dizzy. Entirely Well Now. Anyone who is suffering from the pangs of indigestion and stomach trouble, will be interested in a letter written by Alex Black, Gaston, Ind., telling how he quickly regained his health. Mr. Black writes: “I suffered with a breakdown five years ago. It just seemed aif everything was the matter with me. I had blood pressure, a bad stomach, constipation, and I was so nervous I would just shake. I could not sleep at night. My nerves just jumped. My stomach would bioat and cramp and the gas would press back my heart till I thought maybe I had organic heart trouble. My bowels would hardly move even with a laxative, and never without one. I had dizzy spells and would stagger and almost fall. I did not have any appetite, and what I did eat wouldn’t stay down. I tried different medicines, but only got a little relief. Then hearing from friends about Viuna, I started taking it. Right from the first it helped me, and now I feel fine, as good as I ever did in my life. I eat anything and everything, have a good appetite, my bowels are in good shape, my nervousness is practically gone. I am a man 70 years of age, and If Viuna helps everyone like It has me. it sure is wonderful.” Vlana sets promptly on sluggish bowels, lazy liver and weak kidneys. It purifies the blood, clears the skin, restores appetite and digestion, and brings new strength and energy to the whole body. Take a bottle on trial. Then If you’re not glad you tried Viuna, your money will be refunded. $1 at druggists, or mailed postpaid by Iceland Medicine Cos., Indianapolis, Ind. VIUNA The vegetable regulator\

under the eyes of the obsequious waiter. For dessert there was a frozen pudding which Joyce found novel and delicious. “Now you are ready to listen favorably to a proposal ’ I have to make to you.” lie lit a cigarette. “This proposal,” said Carter, blowing a smoke ring and looking in tolerant amusement at the girl, "this proposal has to do with a charitable scheme Mrs. Fltz-Slmons and I are interested In. Mrs. Deacon Is also on the committee, but it is not, unfortunately, one of her favorite charities. “We are interested in recruiting girls to read to a group of nice old ladies In the Old Ladies’ Home. Many of them have lost their sight, or are unable to read because of diminishing sight. We are recruiting a group of society girls to do Ibis work of humanity and as you will be one of us one day, If you marry Deke, it occurred to me that you could do these lonely old ladies a good turn and at the same time help yourself.” “I’d like reading to these old ladies,” said Joyce thinking for a moment of her own presumably lonely mother. “But I’m afraid I wouldn’t enjoy the society of girls you speak of. And I don’t suppose they’d enjoy me, either,” she added honestly. “They will never know just what you are,” said Carter. “I’ve arranged to have Mrs. Fitz-Simons take you out there under her wing tonight if you are interested. Her position is impregnable. She will meet us in the lobby at half after eight.” She could not avoid a feeling of helplessness and astonishment. She had come this evening firmly determined to end her acquaintance with him. Now she was walking toward the lobby on his arm. Mrs. Fltz-Symons was sitting there in a very large divan. “Dear Carter,” she said. “And here is that sweet little Miss Daring. May I call you Joy? Isn’t that a dear name, Joy? If only I’d a daughter I could name so quaintly.” She drew Joyce down beside her. ‘‘Miss Daring is delighted to be able to help us supply readers for the Old Ladies’ Home,” Carter said. “Let me take you to your motor.” Mrs. Fitz-Simone kept up a constant chatter on the drive out to the home. Arrived they were admitted by a colored maid who showed them where to leave their wraps. Then Mrs. Fitz-Simons sailed Into the committee room. Surrounded by several expensively dressed, and to Joyce, very beautiful young women, was Mattie Truesdale. “Ah, Mattie,” breathed Mrs. FitzSimons. “Here is our dear little friend, Miss Joyce Daring. Introduce her to the other girls, won’t you?” Tomorrow: A telephone operator is introduced into a circle of Junior League girls, at the request of the charmer who had lulled lier fears of him to sleep. What new friendships —and griefs—will tills open up to Joyce Daring? Read tomorrow’s instalment of “Joy” the love story of an American girl. (Copyright 1926, Famous Features, Syndicate, Inc.)
