"Butch ’’ Seltrer breaks In. disguised, and robs them and drives lltland out. CHAPTER XXXV A Solitaire Joyce slept little that night. Much as she tried to condone her conduct to Carter, often as she told herself his attitude toward her was simply his attitude toward any girl, she loathed herself and hated him. Mingled with this self reproach was a renewed fear that Butch might attempt to force himself upon her again. She wondered about the theft of the peai>s, and with all her heart she longed for the old days when her father and mother stood as a bulwark against the world for her. * i Toward morning she slept, worn out with worry, exhausted with her efforts to find the end of the maze. A knocking at the door awakened her. Glancing at . her watch she saw that it was nearly ten. She dregged herself to the door and opened it half fearfully, not knowing what to expect. Franky was smiling at her. ‘‘Hello, there, Joy, you have been out with the owls to be sleeping so lata, I’m coming up to practice getting breakfast for you. Here’s a letter from the box downstairs.” “Franky!” Joyce was so glad to see a friendly face that she impulsively put her arms around the elder girl. “I never was so glad to see anyone In my life.” “Hmm,” said Franky, kissing Joyce warmly. “What’s happened? Carter get rough last night?” Joy’s face flamed. Franky was instantly repentant. “There, there, honey, I didn’t mean that. It's none of my business, but I know that old son. Don’t let anything he says worry you one minute. He's got a mind like a, like a—” she hesitated for a word, “like a garbage can," she finished. Joyce laughed shakily at Franky’s comparison and took her letter. The handwriting was strange, but looking at its illiterate character, she guessed the sender's name. “Butch,” she half whispered to herself as Franky went about the affairs of laying off her smart hat and fur coat. * There were only two lines in the letter. “I won’t bother you if you don’t squeal. And keep that Deland guy away. You know who.” Joy breathed more fcasily. After all Butch was taking a huge chance to come into Cleveland at all. He probably meant what he wrote. As for Carter —no need to worry on tnat score. He would probably consider his escape from violence at the price of a string of pearls quite cheap. Joyce had a feeling that Carter took very good care of himself. She felt much more like her old self as she supervised Franky’s toast making and watched her wrinkle her brows earnestly over the concontion of an omelet. “I read somewhere,” said Frangy dreamily, “that the only way to keep a husband’s love is to give him a good breakfast every morning. Now if I can just learn to make good coffee and not.to let the

muffins burn I’m headed for everlasting bliss, aren’t I, Joyce?” “You surely are,” said Joyce finding that she was very hungry. Franky drove her down to the hotel and Joyce went to her work with more light-heartedness than she would have believed possible. Half way through the afternoon she saw a familiar figure approaching. Her heart beat almost to suffocation. Carter was standing at her desk, smiling down at her with nonchanant ease. “How are you, Joyce?" he asked. “Perfectly fine,” Joyce said, hoping that her tone matched his for coolness. “The less said about last night the better, don’t you think?” he went on. “That means he doesn’t intend to try to get the pearls back,” Joyce thought rapidly. She nodded her head to his remark. “I want to tell you something else, Joyce,” he said, lowering his voice and bending a melancholy look at her. “Yes?” Joyce’s voice was a little impatient. She wished he woujd go “I can never tell you how sorry I am for what happened last night. I was entirely mistaken in my conception of you. I ask your pardon most humbly, knowing that I do not deserve any consideration from you whatever. But, I do ask that the many happy hours we have spent together may plead for me against that one miserable night. You have enjoyed being with me this winter, haven’t you, Joy?” His tone and words softened Joy’s judgment in spite of herself. “Yes, I have,” she agreed. “I am going away now,” he went on. “Going away to give you a chance to forget this whole miserable business and I ask just one thing, Joyce—that you will let yourself miss me a little. Will you?” “I’ll try,” she promised, moved by his evident earnestness. “Then, good-by,” and he reached his hand down to clasp hers. _ Joyce let hers rest in his a moment. She glanced up to see Mattie Truesdaye taking in the scene with malicious relish. Joyce flushed with embarassment and was relieved when Carter moved away without further word. Back in his rooms at the club Carter sat thinking. He had been too hasty. His pose of polite cavalier during the winter had been overdone. His offer to Joyce had offended her by its suddenness. He had not given her enough taste of luxury to whet her appetite for the feast he spread before her. “A course in dining, dancing and fine clothes is what she needs,” he told himself. He was not a little annoyed, too, at the loss of the pearls, but to recover them meant risking a chance of exposure and ridicule, so he wisely decided to let sian embassy was the stupidist kind the matter rest, first ascertaining that Butch had used an ordinary skeleton key to gain admittance to the apartment. Tiiis he did by having a lock maker compare the key Joy’s landlord had given him with the usual skeleton key sold openly by key makers*. Having satisfied himself on this point, he bought a skeleton key and added it to his ring. The duplt cate key to Joy’s apartment he returned to the landlord with a bill and a word of thanks. t “All that I must do,” he told himself, “is to watch that she doesn’t marry Deke too soon.” He went into his bank and asked for a report on the affairs of the Deacon Chemical Company and learned that they were in a bad way. Humming to himself, he left the bank and returned to his club where his valet had transportation to the Bermudas waiting for him. “I might as well wait in warmth and comfort,” he told himself as he boarded a train later. “I’m sure of the outcome in the end anyway,” and he consoled himself witli pictures of Joy’s loveliness on the journey east. Joyce felt an even greater sense of relief that night when scanning the evening paper she saw this item, “Mr. Carter Deland departed today for a sojourn in the Bermudas.” “I hope he stays a long time,” she told herself. And for the time being she meant it, quite honestly. Her pale face alarmed Deke when he met her after work that night. They were to spend the evening at the Deacon home. “Good Lord, Joy!” he said, “what have you been doing to yourself? I wish I could flatter myself that it’s sympathy for me. Pretty up a little or the folks will be wanting to take you to Florida with them, and I couldn’t stand that.” “I’m all right, just a little tired,” she answered. Deke thought rapidly and reached his own' conclusion. Undoubtedly there was some connection between Joy's pale face and Carter’s unexpected departure for the south seas. “I’m glad she’s sent him packing,” he told himself. “He’s bad medicine for little girls,” and he reached over and patted her hand. Joy found the sight of Mr. Deacon’s helplessness more than she could bear in her present unnerved state, and she shed frank tears when she had left the sick man’s room. Mrs. Deacon put her arms around the girl. “There, there, my dear,”

sfle said. “He’s getting better every day, and when we get down in the warm climate and he doesn’t have to worry about the business, he'll come back well and- hearty, I’m sure.” She was deeply moved by the girl’s sympathy and more than ever convinced that her son’s choice was wise. Deke drove Joyce slowly back to the apartment. He went up with her without waiting for an invitation. “Got a present for you," he said, squeezing her elbow. Joyce shuddered a little. She had enough of presents for a while. She was glad that Franky had swept and garnished the apartment, Franky had asked no questions tyhen Joyce had dumped Carter’s offering of flowers into the waste can that morning. She, too, guessed that Joyce and Carter had reached a climax and she was glad that Joyce had thrown off the handsome man-about-town’s influence. Now Joyce thrilled with gratitude to Franky that she could bring Deke in and find no evidence of the previous evening’s storm. Deke settled himself comfortably and lighted a cigaret. "Dad looks pretty well all in, doesn’t he?” he commented. “Oh, Deke, it’s a shame. I never felt so sorry for anyone in my life. To think of wanting to move, wanting to talk and just not being able to.” “Don’t cry, Joyce,” Deke warned. "Make your eyes all red, darling." “I don’t care,” said Joyce. "I am sorry.” "So am I." said Deke, slowly. “Sorrier than I can tell you. For things at the plant are in a bad way. Father must have been letting the business slip for a long time. I’ve got to work like three men to pull it through. The disgrace of a failure there would kill him, I’m afraid.” “Then you won’t have much time to —” "To play,” Deke finished for her. “Very little, Joyce, and very little time, too, for you these next few months. I’m sorry, dear, for I had planned to give you a real rush and a lot of fun. But right now Deke's got his hands full of chemical and all he can do is want to see you.” “But you’ll be here in Cleveland, and we can talk over the phone to each other and whenever you are free I’ll drop everything to be witli you,” Joyce promised. “Joy!” his tone was eager. “'Will you do something for me now?” “Anything you ask,” she said softly. “I wish I could take you all the way on that,” he answered. I’d carry you off to a minister tonight. But I’m going to be a poor man, maybe, and I’m going to be a busy man certainly; no time for a honeymoon now, is there, Joy, girl?” "I guess not,” said Joyce, half wondering whether if Deke asked her tonight she could run away from Carter's proposals and win back her self-respect. “But I am going to ask you to take this,” Deke went on, giving her a small white box. Joyce opened it. Her eyes caught the gleam of a solitaire set in platinum with a ring of sapphires around it. “Deke!” “It’s for you, Joyce, whenever ycu want to wear it,” he took her hand. “Tonight?” he questioned. r But Joyce slowly shook her head. She could not promise. Deke laid his head against her hands. “Will you keep it, Joyce, darling, and let me hope that some day you will wear it?” “I will do that gladly,” Joyce an-

FOUND WONDERFUL RELIEF FOR CRACKED, BLEEDING HANDS Hid almost screamed with pain “I am writing to tell you what great relief Resinol Soap and Ointment have brought me. I had such terrible sore hands. They were dry and cracked open, which caused them to bleed. When I put them in water the pain was so great I could have screamed and I could scarcely do any work at all. I had sent for a sample of Resinol Soap and Ointment, but I had tried about a dozen different remedies which brought no relief, so I had little faith in them and they had not been used. At last, however, in desperation I began to use your samples to see what good they would do, and was greatly surprised and delighted at the wonderful relief they gave. Nqw I would not be without Resinol Soap and Ointment, and my husband and children are also users of your preparations.” (Signed) Mrs. John Machemer, R. F. D.
