CHAPTER XLI On the Trail For Joyce, slowly realizing the power that was hers with the possession of a small fortune, the days began to drag wearily. “Why should I keep on working like this when very soon I can do all the things I’ve wanted to do all my life,” she asked herself more times than one. Some feeling that she would be violating her confidence to Judge Perkins kept her at work, however. If she left her work there were several persons to whom she would have to make explanations, to Deke, who was looking thinner and more worried than ever on the eve of his business trips; to Davey, who came in once a week from his sales trips to watch her rather gloomily and make her feel that she was treating him badly; to the girls in the sewing circle at the hotel who were curious about changes their little fraternity made; to the other group of girls in the reading circle for the Old Ladies’ Home who were doubly curious now that Carter Deland had returned. Much as she longed to take the time to rest, to realize her independence to the full, she felt that for another month at least she must pjursue her ordinary course of conduct. She had spoken to Carter only once. Ho had paused by her desk to shake hands with her and ask after her health.\ After that she saw him several times in the lobby with Catherine Sherwin, or with Mrs. Fitz-Simons or Mattie Truesdale. The girls on the board had told her of the projected house party at the Anvil Club. They had heard invitations and excited acceptances, and indulged in their usual slangy gossip about the things they guessed would happen at the affair. Joyce was piqued at Carter’s cutting her. She told herself she was glad of it. But secretly she wondered that he had recovered so quickly from what had seemed a violent attraction for her. As yet she would not write to her father still pursuing his search for his wife of the freedom she would soon have to join in his search. She did, however, write him that she expected to join him in New York soon. “ —I am very tired of staying here alone’’ she wrote. “I think that very soon I will come to help you. Perhaps we can find her sooner if we hunt together. I will write you more of this later. Now I can only tell you that I am making all my plans to give up my work here by the middle of April and come east to set up a home somewhere together again.” She left him to infer that she was now ready to use the money her mother had left her for the purpose she had dedicated it to in the fall, just after Mrs. Deacon’s disappearance. Deke came to see her the evening before he left for the east. He was looking haggard and worn and nothing she could do seemed to give him any encouragement. "It looks as though I’ve about reached the end of my rope,” he told Jier modily. “We're still paying war time prices for raw material, and we’re having to sell at peace time prices. That's one thing I want to iron out on this New York trip. Then our western sales force has simply, laid down on the job, and our former mid-west and far west trade has pretty nearly died. If I can pep up that sales force out there and rewrite our eastern contracts we may pull through, otherwise I’ll be, looking for a job in a couple of months.” “Does your mother suSpect anything of this?” Joyce asked. Deke shook his head. “No, I’ve been careful to keep my letters cheerful. She writes that father is improving right along. I borrowed money last week to send them and to buy the clo'thes the girls say they need this spring. I’m going to keep everybody going just as usual until June; then if things smash I’ll probably spend the rest of my life paying debts.” “I’m thinking of giving up my job here and joining my father for a while this spring,” Joyce told him. “Yes? Well, I wish you luck. I’ve wanted to follow that tip about Butch Seltzer and your mother's disappearance all winter, but I haveen’t been able to find the time —or the money,” he finished after a momentary hesitation. They were silent for a time. “You don’t want to wear my ring yet?” he asked her presently. “I do wear it,” Joyce said shyly. She pulled it from beneath the front of her dress, where it sparkled on a thin gold chain. Deke smiled at her. “I’m glad you keep it near you.” “I’m going to wear it some day, I think,” Joyce went on. "Just let me find my mother* and settle her and my father’s affairs, then I’m —well, I’m pretty sure that I’ll come here to you.” Deke took her hand and held it closely. "I’ll know where I am by that time too,” he said. "It’s best

all around to wait, I guess, only I hate waiting. I’ve honestly enjoyed this winter, hard as it’s been. I’ve had to fight every inch of the way to a reorganization of the plant and now I’m going to have to work like the devil to find a hole in those raw material contracts.” y“l guess I don’t like fighting very much,” said Joyce. “Very few women do,” Deke an swered. “They want safety and permanence, and it’s rh|it that tliay should. You can’t make a home and go out and fight for it at the same time.” There was an air of sadness over their whole eveniQ£. Joyce had some premonition of change, and even Deke seemed to feel that destiny was heavy in the air. His train left at midnight. On leaving the apartment he took Joyce in his arms for a moment. “Good-by, Joyce, girl.” he said, kissing her tenderly. “When I come back I hope that I will be able to tell you ‘come along, old lady, we’re off to be married.’ ” Joyce clung to him. “Good luck, Deke,” she said. As Deke left the apartment his eye was caught by the appearance of i car parked on the opposite side of the street. For a moment he whistled. He half turned to go back to Joy’s flat. But tjiis would mean losing his train and it was desperately important for him to be in New York the following afternoon. As he hesitated he remembered the note Joyce had showed him. “He’s after Carter again,” Deke thought. “I’ll call Joyce from the station and warn her to look out. I’ll tell her to have a talk with Jim Hopkins about it. I’ll be glad if she does go to her father in New York ’ He telephoned her from the station and was relieved to find that she shared his opinion that Butch intended no personal harm to herself. “I’m leaving soon anyway,” she said. “Keep it quiet,” he warned. “I will,” she promised. “Good bye, Deke dear, and good luck again.” But in spite of her brave words to Deke, she was uneasy. After hanging up she went to the window and peeped out. The car was gone. he imagined it,” she thought. She considered talking about it to Jim Hopkins the next day, then decided against it. "I’ll soon be able to put as many good men as I want on the case,” she reflected and determined to keep her own counsel. Nevertheless, for that night and the nights t!|it followed she bolted the door as well as locked it and left a light burning all night in the living room. Jim Hopkins received another .‘Oiifidence that day, however, that Interested him deeply. There had been little professional excitement for him all winter and he welcomed news that would keep him interested and busy between the times he wrote long letters to the absent Gladys. Carter Deland had approached him in the lobby and asked him over to his club apartment. Seated in comfortable chairs the two men drank some excellent whiskey and Carter told his story. “I think I’m being trailed, Hop,” he began. "That so?” Hopkins answered without excitement. A calm manner was his pet pride. Carter nodded. "I might as well tell you exactly what I suspect. Last winter just before the holidays I bought a string of pearls. They were pretty good ones, representing about twenty thousand dollars. I intended them as a Christmas gift to Joyce Daring.” Carter smiled a little at the start

Hopkins could not repress at the information. "The evening that I gave them to her” he went on, “we were held up in her apartment and the pearls were stolen. I took no steps then to recover them for fear of placing her in an embarrassing position, in fact I Would have charged them off to profit and loss except for the fact that 1 believe the same thief is on my fail again.” “Go on,” said the detective, forgetting his professional calm. “As you know I returned to Cleveland only a few days ago. Since that time I have noticed a powerful dark car following mine, and last night when I went to dinner at the borne of some friends on the heights I caught a glimpse of the driver. Although he wore a mask at the time of the hold-up, I am very sure it was the same man 1 saw last night.” “Tall, thin, dark, a bad scar on his chin?” asked the detective. “I can't verify the scar,” Carter answered. “But he was tall and thin.” "Butch Seltzer,” Hopkins exclaimed, swearing to himself. "I think you're right,” Carter answered. “I’ll put another man on the job at the hotel,” Hopkins promised, “and I'll stick to you like a brother for a while.” Carter moved a little uneasily. "He doesn’t follow me except when I'm in the ciiy,” he answered. “I think it might be wiser to spot him and catch him in some red handed act.” "Okeh,” said the detective. "I want him for more than just the theft of twenty thousand dollars’ worth of pearls last Chrigtmas.” As he went back to the hotel he was speculating on Carter’s revelations about Joyce. "I’m sorry,” he muttered to himself. "Glad swears that there’s nothing to her crush on Carter. Still that's not my business.” He could not help a feeling of regret over Joy’s implication with Carter Deland, however, and looked at her pure face with new interest when he went through the lobby on his way to Mr. Robertson's office to arrange

for his temporary release from hotel duty. Joyce had a long conference with Judge Pprkins that night after work. “Then you really think it is all right for me to give up my work at the end of this week?” she asked at its close. “Indeed I do,” he said warmly. “I think we can announce the terms of the will within ten days. I know you are impatient to arrange your affairs and I think that for you to take a week to do that before we make this bequest public is perfectly all right.” Joyce went to bed with a sense of relief. "Tomorrow I will tell Miss Scanlon that I’m quitting,” was her last thought before sleeping. (To be continued) (Copyright, 1927, Famous Features Syndicate, Inc).

PIMPLES AND BLACKHEADS ALL OVER FACE Was ashamed to be seen—simple remedy brought quick improvement

"Awhile ago I began to be troubled with enlarged pores and blackheads. Then pimples developed, and even boils. My skin was very sore and in a terrible condition. It was so disfigured and unsightly I was ashamed of it. I tried about everything to be had for pimples, but with no good results. I had heard Resinol Ointment and Soap so highly recommended for troubles like mine, I decided to try them. After one treatment there was a decided improvement, and the pimples began to' fade away. I advise everybody with skin trouble to try Resinol.” (Signed) Miss Hazel Beasley, Munden, Va., Aug. 5. Your druggist sells Resinol Soap and Ointment. Why don’t you try them ?—Advertisement.
