SYNOPSIS Joyce Dating in left honielesa when her parents separate. She gets a job as a telephone operator in a hotel. Then her mother disappears mysteriously, after being shot by “Butch” Seltzer, a liquor gang leader, who is made about Joyce. Henry Deacon, a wealthy admirer, returns to college, and his older friend. Carter Deland, a bachelor clubman, rushes Joyce, and introduces her into a circle of society girls, Joyce lias been rooming with Gladys Warner, check girl at the hotel, who hid a terrible tragedy behind a breezy manner that had won the younger girl’s heart. Gladys has just had a telegram revealing her secret and she shows it to Joyce. CHAPTER XXVI The Story of Gladys’ Tragedy “Your husband?” Joy’s voice was full of surprise. She felt as though some On had dealt her a blow. Gladys’ sobbing stopped. She lo&ked straight ahead. "Now I ain’t got nobody.’ she said in a dull tone. “I been working and keeping him in a sanitarium two years now. They told me last spring he needed an operation. That’s what I borrowed the money from you for. Now he's gone.” Joyce went to her friend. “Tell me about it,” she said softly. Presently Gladys sat up #nd pushed back her tangled hair. “I got to go after him,” she said. “But I won't let his mother know.” "I’ll have to raise money somewhere. I'll be all the rest of my life paying for this, his funeral and alt." She stared straight ahead again for a few minutes. Then she squared her shoulders as though her mind were made up. “You find out when T can get a train to New York,” she directed Joyce. Still mystified Joyce went down to the telephone. At the station they told her there was a train at midnight. Joyce reserved an upper berth for Gladys, keeping in mind the need for money. Then she went back to the room. Gladys was unlocking a drawer in the dresser which Joyce had never seen open before. From it she took a heavy sterling silver brush and silver mounted comb. There were other toilet articles to match. To them Gladys added a diamond set hair pin, a string of lovely glowing iade, a platinum wedding ring and a large diamond and sapphire engagement ring. "He gave me all of these,” she said sadly, indicating the little pile to Joyce. "Now I suppose I’ll have to pawn them for his funeral. Sit down, Joyce, and I'll tell you all about it.” She was more collected now and not once in the course of her story did her emotions get the better of her again. “When I was a kid,” she began, • [ was a mighty pretty kid. Lota prettier than I am now. We didn’t have much and I didn’t get no schooling to speak of. But I loved to dance and I used to sneak out and dance whenever I could get away from the old man, for he made an awful row if he caught me doing it. "Well, When I was sixteen I ran away from home with a show shat hit Pittsburgh. I had a good time tor the next three years, riding around the country With that show. But I never fell for the men much because I loved to dance so, see? "Then after three years of road shows they told me I was good enough for the big city, so I went to New York. I didn’t have much trouble there getting a place with one of the revues and for a while I paid strict attention to business and got along fine. "But after a while I began to get Ignesome with all the other girls abasing -out for good times, so I thought I’d take on a gentleman friend myself. "One of the other girls knew I was looking for a steady, so she told me her friend knew a fellow, just come to New York from Cleveland who was ready for a good time every minute. "So the next night I went out with her and there was this guy she went with, and Forrester, my husband.” There was a suspicion of a sob in her voice, but she hurried on ignoring it. “We went out night after night

All Worn Out By Back-ache Says He's Full of Pep Now, and Pains Are All Gone. Does your back ache till it seems ready to break? A prompt way to end the trouble is shown in a letter written by Curtis Chappell, 1130 K. St. Clair St., Indianapolis. Ind. He tells about his recovery, as follows: “I suffered with pains in my kidneys and back for three years. My back at times seemed arf if it would break in two. I was tired out most of the time, and when I came home from work I Just felt like I wanted to lie down. I lost flesh until I only weighed 155 pounds. Nothing 1 took did me any good till I found Viuna, and after taking only one bottle I was wonderfully relieved. My back stopped aching and I began to get some pep. My appetite picked up and I began to gain weight till I now weigh 170 pounds (a gain of 15 pounds), and feel fine and eat anything.” Viuna acts promptly on alagglab bowela, lazy liver and weak kidney*.

and we had all kinds of fun, dancing, eating, drinking, specially drinking. But all the time I couldn't go quite as far as the others went. "When they stayed all night at the road house I made Forrester take me home, because my Irish mother had fold me pretty plain what happened to girls who didn't go straight. "Forrester was a hard drinker. He s drank twice as much as any bod]y else. And he was queer, too. When he's had a lot he’d get very quiet and brood and once when he was terribly drunk he asked me if I’d go way out west to a ranch with him where he could get over this terrible drink habit and we could both live clean. "One night after we left the others and Forrester'd drunk an awful 10l we got lost. Then the car stalled and Forrester went to sleep, sitting right there in the car behind the whsel. I couldn’t budge him and I couldn’t wake him. And there we sat until the sun came up and woke him. "Well, I was pretty near killed. I knew that no one would believe the truth about it and that they’d kid me forever, because I’d always told them what I thought about this business of going too far. “So I cried and carried on fit to kill and made Forrester feel pretty rotten. “Finally lie says, "See here, Glad, if you feel that way about it, let’s go get married, right now.' “I honestly didn’t love him and I didn’t have no right to take him up, but I did and we went and got married that morning. After the ceremony lie looked at me sort of funny and said, ‘Well, where shall we set up housekeeping'.” “Then I got scared, for you see even with all this experience I was an awful greenhorn and I was just plain scared and then I didn’t really love him. I guess a lot of this must have showed in my face for he said, ‘We'll go get some breakfast and then we’ll talk about it some more. If you don't want to live with me now, you can go back to your old room, just as though we weren’t married!’ "You can see how white he was.” Here Gladys paused to show Joyce a picture in a silver frame. It showed a rather heavy set young man with a high forehead, a weak mouth, and a sort of steady charm about him. "He looks kind,” Joyce said. hesitatingly, "That’s it,” said Gladys eagerly. “He always was kind. You csfn see that when I tell you that after breakfast when he asked me again where I wanted to go and I said, 1 wanted to go back to my own room, he didn’t say a word, but took me there and gave me a kiss just like he always (jid. "We saw each other a lot, of course, but we didn’t tell the others that we were married. And then one night he went off on a party without me and drank some poison hooch. "I heard about it the next day, from one of the girls who knew a friend of his, how terrible sick he wag. And suddenly it just seemed like something went cold inside of me. I went right over to his rooms. They weren’t going to let me in. but I finally persuaded them that we was married and then the doctor let me by. "Poor Forrester. He was half blind and clear out of his head, except that he remembered marrying me. He kept asking for me, but when 1 come he didn’t know me. He was like that for days. They were afraid to move him to a hospital and so I just stayed there. Ho

"Then along about the fourtli day I heard the nurse arguing with someone out in the living room and I went out to see, because I had sort of taken charge of things. "There in the living room I ,see one of those tail thin ladies that look like they’d never had a sinful wish in their life. “ ‘Who are you?’ she says, giving me the once over. ‘l’m Mr. Maltby’s wife, Mrs. Maltby,’ I says. "Well, she wouldn’t believe it and I finally had to show her my marriage certificate and have the nurse tell her how Forrester kept asking for me. "It turnd out that she was his mother and she had heard about his being sick and had come from Cleveland to nee. She hated me right from the first, but with Forrester so sick there wasn’t much she could do. "She went to stay at a hotel nearby and came over every day waiting for a chance to see Forrester, Well, I didn’t let on, but I ' was pretty scared, I’d lost my job by being away from the show so long and if Forrester woke up and told her how I’d never really been his wife, why I didn’t know just what she could do to me. "Finally, one day Forrester opened his eyes and knew me. I gave him a kiss and told him his mother was here. He looked scared too. ‘Dop’t let her take me home, Glad,' he begged. ‘She's awful good to me, but she makes me good, too, and I never get a drink there, ever.’ "So I promised him and pretty soon I had to let her go in to see him. She was ail for moving him back to Cleveland right away and in spite of what he said and what 1 said, she went right ahead making plans. It seemed that she had something' to do with his money and told him if lie didn't do wlmt she said she’d hold back some money she had been letting him have. "We got all ready to go, for he said lie wouldn't go one step without me. "Then, the very morning of tKe day we all was to start, he got so nervous over it that he had a relapse and a stroke. The doctor said there was nothing for it but to put him in a sanitarium for treatment. He said it would take two years to make him well enough to get arounih some. "Then his mother said she would pay his expenses in the sanitarium if I would promise to come away

THE INDIANA%OLIS TIMES

from New York where I’d always be having temptations to go wrong. You see, she heard me promising Forrester to wait for him, and I guess she figured if I was going to wait, I'd better try to keep straight away from New York. 1 had to give up the show business, too. “It was tliis or else she wouldn t see Forrester through this course of treatments. So I agreed to every king she said. We went down and nit Forrester in the sanitarium. He ould hardly speak, but he begged >e the last few minutes we had toother to send him money secretly o ho wouldn’t have to feel depen lent entirely on his mother. I promised him and told the doctors, too, tiiat if there was anything extra he needed, to let me know, not his mother. ♦"I think she was kind of sorry about the way she acted when he came qway. For she asked me to come and live with her until Forrester was better. But I said no She had made me promise to come to Cleveland where she could know what I was doing. "I had to get a job and this one at the hotel paid me better, counting the tips, than anything I could do. So that’s why you’ve never seen me stepping out none. I always sent Forrester part of what I made. I saw him once about a year ago and he looked awful bad, but he kept hoping he would get out and he hated his mother terribly for keeping up apart. It seemed the more he thought of me the more he loved me. "I found out then that his mother had had herself appointed ids guardian because his sickness was affecting his brain. And it seemed to me the more I thought of him and the white way he’d treated me the more I ought to ilo for him. “So I just kept On here, and now it’s no use. It’s ail over. But by God, Joyce, I'm going to get his body and bury him, and let him rest where his mother can’t bother him any more. Even if I have to sell everything he ever gave me.” She glanced at the pile of finery on the dresser. Joyce was thoughtful. In spite of Gladys’ tears and In spite of her unwavering devotion to duty, her crushing of all her instincts for gayety and good fun, she could not be convinced that Gladys loved, or ever had loved the Jead man. So she said, "I think iiis mother ought to know, Gladys.” But Gladys shook her head stubbornly. Joyce went down with her to the dingy railway station. Just at the entrance to the ticket gate Gladys spun around, “Joyce,” she said solemnly, "you’re right. She ought to know. Lere’s her address, she lives up on the heights somewhere. You go up there the first tiling in the morning, tell her I sent you and tell tier I’ve gone to bring him back to Cleveland” Then she disappeared through the gate, leaving a moist kiss on Joy’s cheek and a slip of paper containing an address in Joy’s hand.
