SYNOPSIS JOYCE DARING is left homeless when her parents separate. She gets work as a telephone operator in a hotel. Her mother disappears mysteriously, and her father, penitent, goes in search of her. Joyce has an opportunity to befriend MRS. EVANGELINE MALTBY,,a very wealthy woman, upon the death of her wastrel son. She makes a friend in ERANKY BTARRET. pampered dilettante, and an enemy of CATHERINE SHERWIN. who is jealous of CARTER DELAND'S attentions to Joyce. Deland makes an agreement with Joyce to play around with her and teach her the social graces, and not to become serious until the return from college of HENRY DEACON, who loves her dearly, and who is a young favorite of Deland's. Joy has just had a wire Irom Deacon that he is coming home to stay because of his father's serious illness.

CHAPTER XXXII Young Old Man Joyce looked at her watch nervously. In half an hour Deke would be at Ihe apartment, Franky had been in for dinner and had helped her tidy the apartment afterwards. They had eaten their dinner in silence. A little later Franky left. At the door she turned and kissed .Joyce. "Have a, good time. Honey," she said. Then she clattered down the steps to her waiting car. Joyce was wishing now that she was as sure of a happy welcome for Deke as Franky would have given her John. Then there was a tap at the door and she ran to oi>en it. Deke stood outside smiling at her. His look was steady, but, in it Joyce found not only gladness at seeing her, but also a grave anxiety. "Deke,” she breathed. Then, “your father, is he worse?" - , Deke nodded and came into,. Jhe loom, taking Joy's hands as "he, came. “I’m afraid he is,” he answered. “But we'll talk of that later. Tell me now, are you well? O, Joy, T am so glad to see you. So glad that it seems almost wicked when father is, well. Is so seriously sick.” “I’m sorry,” said Joyce In a low tone. She pulled her hffhds free. "Take off your tilings. Sit down. I'm glad to see you, too, Deke. It seems like a long time.” Presently they were sitting under the light of the lamp in the livingroom. Joyce had some sewing. Deke was smoking. Neither of them spoke for a few moments. “Tell me how you found things at home,” Joyce said at last. “When I got in this morning,” Deke began, “I went to the house right away. I found father in lied. It was a shock, too, Joy. I can never remember a. time when he wasn’t up, around and active. He is paralyzed on his left side and it is difficult for him to speak. But the way his eyes lighted up when he saw me, somehow made me feel a ! amed. I've known for some time i he wasn't well, but It seemed i .(> important to finish school than to come home to see him. “Well, after we talked a little, 1 left him to rest and went out to have a talk with mother.” Here Deke stopped and lit a fresh efjraret with fingers that trembled a little. “Poor mother! She is all broken up and blames herself for not sending for me sooner. It seems that Father has been overworking all winter. Things aren't going too well at the plant. He has me in school and Betty and Lou off at school, too, the big house to keep up. and a lot of men that he has had working for him for years that he didn't have ihe heart to lay off, even when orders slowed up.

People who are suffering' from stomach or kidney trouble will enjoy reading a -letter written by Chas. L. Scott, 839 E. Maryland St., Indianapolis, Ind. Instead of being an invalid, he says his health is perfect now. Mr. Scott writes: ,- I suffered with stomach trouble for twenty years. I was bloated and at times I felt as if there was a rock lying in the pit of my stomach. ]\}y kidneys were weak and distut bed me during the night. My back ached all the time. Nothing I rUo did me any good, and I tried different medicines without improving. Then a friend told me to try Vluna. The first bottle made me feel better and so I kept right on. When I started in I only weighed 14.1 pounds: now 1 weigh 157 pounds, a gain of 12 pounds, and I feel fine. Don't have any trouble with my stomach any more and can sit down to the table and eat a good hearty meal without one bit of fear. I don’t have any trouble -with my kidneys and back, either. All the pains have gone. My constipation Is entirely gone, and I want to say Vluna did it all.” Vluna acts promptly on sluggish bowels, lasy liver and weak kidnevs. It purifies the blood, clears the Bkin, 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 Vluna, your money will be refunded. $1 at druggists, or mailed postpaid by Iceland Medicine t'o., Indianapolis, Ind.

“So it got worse and worse, and now this stroke has just laid him low. I “Meantime, things are in such a tangle at the plant that Mother , doesn't know what is going to happen there. The doctors say it would I help Father to go to Florida for the rest of the winter. So it looks like j the best plan is for them to leave right away, have the girls stay in school instead of coming home for ! Christmas, and for me to buckle : down right away to getting things in shape at the factory.” “You won’t go baok to school then?” Joyce questioned. Deke shook his head. Joyce was thinking of the agreement Carter had made with her. If Deke stayed here, Carter would feel free to press her toward a decision in her relations with him. She felt her heart beat faster. Deke was looking at her curiously. “What is it, Joyce?” “Oh. I'm sorry, terribly sorry, Dekt, that you must give up school. But 1 can’t help being glad that you will be here from' now on.” “Joyce! Ate you really glad!" He stood up and came close to her chair. She nodded her head, and smiled up at him. “Don't!" he made an involuntary gesture, as though in pain. “What is it?” Joyce looked up in some alarm at the tone of his voice. “It makes me sick, Joyce, just sick," to have this happen now,” he said, going back to'his chair. “This room, you sitting there sewing. It all makes me think of what I must give tip for the present.” Joyce looked at him inquiringly. “I wanted to ask you to marry me this Christmas,” he said slowly. “I had planned to urge our engagement now with our wedding in the spring. Then when I had mother’s wire and knew that something serious had happened I thought I would give up going back to college, buckle down at the plant and ask you to marry me right away. But now. with everything so uncertain, I don't feel that 1 can ask you a thing. I have nothing to offer you. From what mother told me there may lie nothing but debts to pay, no income to speak of at all. “I feel that T must see the girls through this year at school at least. Mother has enough money of her own to take care of herself and father on their trip south. But It hurts like the devil to have to give you up without trying, Joyce.” “Maybe I don’t want to be given up,” said Joyce. He looked at her a long moment. "Explain yourself, .Toy girl',” he said, striving for a light note. “I mean,” said Joyce, slowly, “that I feel just as I did this fall. I’m not sure rt.at I love you. T do feel that T want a home. Right now I’d he gladder than I can tell you If my father and mother were here, to go to live with th,em. 1 don't feel that way all the time, hots of times I am so happy to be here alone that I think I never will give up my freedom. But tonight I do feel lonely.” “Even with m e here?” Deke asked. “Even with you here,” smiled Joyce. There was a pause. “What's become of*Wvey?” Deke asked. “I don't see very much of him these days,” said Joyce. “He has been on the road a lot and he's about ;as good a letter writer as I nm. , Then the last two times he’s been : in town I happpened to be busy.” "Busy!” Deke questioned, his eyej blows lifted. | Joyce Hashed. “I had dales with Carter Deland both times.” she said. “Hmm.

then. Do you like him a lot, Joyce?” “I think he’s fascinating,” she said slowly. “He is,” Deke agreed, “but rather monotonous, I should think, like too much champagne.” “Oh, I don’t know. Carter’s been really nice to me.” “He’d better be," Deke growled half humorously. “What do you hear from your father?” “Poqr Dads,” Joyce signed. “He is still wandering from restaurant to restaurant in New York. He's had never a clew that I can learn about, but he is just as sure he will find mother as he wls on the day he left. He honestly believes that God is with him and guiding his search.” “I can't help repenting that kind of faith,” said Deke, "even though 1 can’t understand it. It's something that our fathers and mothers didn't give us, did they?” Joyce shook her head. There was a pause. “I’ve had a queer feeling lately,” she tokl him, changing the subject. “I don't know whether it's imagination or not, but several times lately I’ve felt that I was being watched by someone. Look!” She went to the window. Down below in the street on the opposite curb an open car with the curtains up was parked. “That doesn’t belong to anyone here on the street, and it always stands out there when I’m at home, or has been for the last five or six days.” , Deke took a long look at the car. “I’ll know it again,” he said. “Be careful, Joyce. Your nerves may be playing you trioks, but it’s well to take no chances. Butch has nayer been caught, you know.” “Jim Hopkins at the Statler, the detective* you know, thinks that Butch knows what happened to my mother,” Joyce told him, turning back to the light. Deke whistled. “I’d never thought of that,” he said. “By the good lord Harry, Joy, he might be keeping your mother hidden away!” They looked at each other. Then Deke shrugged. “I can't follow that trail for arfew days,” he said, “but just as soon as 1 can get mother and father off and settle down in harness at the plant I’ll get somebody I can trust busy on that idea.” His shoulder touched Joy’s. He put his hands on her shoulders and turned her about in the light. “Let me get a look at you,” he said. “Pretty as ever. A little thin, it seems to me, and not nearly so many roses as you had when I went away. Oh, Joy, it’s the damndest thing not to be able to say ‘come along, honey, we'll run down to Bermuda out of the cold,” and have you put on your bat and coat and come along.” “I'm just glad to have you here.” said Joyce a little shyly. He made a movement to pull her close in his arms. The telephone rang. “Oh. bother telephones. They’re the invention of the devil,” lie grumbled, feeling that his moment had passed. Joyce went to answer. He could not help hearing her words, nor escape noticing the tremor in her voice. "Yes this is Joyce.'* “No, not tonight, Carter. Deke is here.” There was a long pause, then in a low tone, “Yes, 1 understand. I'm not sure —I’ll call him." She turned to Deke. “It's Carter Deland. He wants to speak to you. While Deke was talking to Cartel' exchanging family and business news Joy’s mind was in a tumult. “Then I don't have to keep to my agreement any longer.” Carter had said triumphantly.” I can show you life now and Deke will have to look to his own concerns. Do you understand?” Then after her low assent. "Are you glad. Joy, my

beautiful one? Tell me you are glad.” \ Now she heard Deke telling him that he would not be going back to school. “Got to be, the old man in the family now," he said. Presently he rejoined her in the light of the reading lamp. "Looks like I have two fights on my hands.” he said, jestingly. “Carter says it's war to the knife over you, and he tried to joke about it. I think he meant it. What do you think, Joy girl?*' “He's been very nice all winter because you were away,” she said. “1 don’t fear Carter,” said Deke, slowly, “as long as he keeps in Carter Deland's place. But he can't play around with my sisters: he s got too much dirt on his hands in the past. I can’t keep him from playing around with you, unless you'll give me the right to protect you. All I can do is stand around and kiss your fingers to make them well after Carter burns them for you.” Joyce started at the word “kiss.” For a mement she re-lived that long ago instant in the limousine when Carter had laid his mouth over hers and whispered passionate words against her lips. Something of the exjierience must have showed in her face, for suddenly Deke took her roughly in his arms. “Joy,” he commanded, “tell me. Has he ever kissed you?" There was confession in Joy’s eyes.

Deke held her closely and kissed her. "Like this?" he asked tenderly, raising his head and smiling down at her. Joyce shook her head and clung to him, feeling safe and secure in his embrace, far away from the thrill of Carter’s vow to show her life. Deke kissed her again. “Then he doesn’t love you,” he said. “For this is the way a. man kisses the girl he loves.” TOMORROW: The way * man likin a girl hr love*.
