CHAPTER L (Continued) She resolved to say nothing about this new trial to her father or - mother. Agnes Daring spent all her time polishing her prized new hous and cooking for her husband. After her years of absence from domestic duties she seemed suddenly to bo intoxicated with the joy of housework. John Daring was busy all day. It was hardly likely that the commuters he talked with would bother with such a tale. Nevertheless Joyce resolved that she would not go to church the following Sunday. Nor could all her father’s persuasions get her to change her mind when Sunday came around again. She watched them from the window a little sadly. It seemed a shame for anything to spoil their Eden now. Perhaps it would be best for her to leave soon. Her father’s upright conduct and devotion to the church, her mother's interest in their home would soon make it pleasant again for them. She decided to go back to New York and see Gladys for a few days. After that, well, perhaps then she would go back to Cleveland. She had to face the music some day anyway. She saw from their faces JJiat her father and mother had been through an unpleasant experience as they turned in the walk to the house. For a moment she wondered if her father would be angry with her. Some of this fear showed in her face. But John Daring had only a great pity for his daughter. “Why didn’t ye tell us, lassj(’ he said. Joyce explained about the paper iand the stories that were current about her. “They’ll say no more to me,’’ he exclaimed, “Ye'll live it down, lass, Lnever fear, ye’ll live it down.” ' And that night he prayed more earnestly than before. / The same Sunday Henry Deacon, tired, discouraged, utterly weary from his trip west got off a train in the Cleveland station and telephoned Joy’s apartment. CHAPTER LI A Waiting Game Deke turned from the phone booth in the railroad station with a feeling of despair. He needed to see Joyce. Os course he might have wired her he was coming. But he had not been sure himself until the hour of starting. Perhaps she was at work. With renewed hope he took a street car for the hotel. “No taxis for Deke," he said passing the line of waiting drivers. “Not a pretty for Joyce, eithei.” Carrying his traveling bag he walked into the lobby of the Statler, waving aside the offer of a porter to carry it for him. He went straight

to the telephone desk for outgoing calls in the lobby. A strange girl sat there. Strange to him, but she recognized the face of Joy's “steady.” “I wonder if you can tell me where I will find Miss Joyce Daring,” he said smiling down her. The girl started. Didn’t he know? She felt embarrassed. She had heard the tale of Joy’s misdoings from Mattie Truesdale's conversations so many times that she felt that the whole world knew of them. So she stammered and said: “Joy? Why. a-why, Joyce went away a couple of weeks ago.” “Went away?” said Deke blankly. He thought rapidly. Perhaps she had heard some word of her mother. He wished he could find someone who would tell him. He thanked the girl and turned about in the lobby in search of a familiar face. Mattie Truesdale and Mrs. FitzSimons were coming out of the elevator. He thought ruefully of his travel-worn appearance. But he must know where Joyce had gone. So he went forward hat in hand. “How do you do. Mrs. FitzSimons? And how are you, Miss Truesdale!” “Henry Deacon!” they exclaimed in chorus. And Mattie Truesdale's face took on an eager look. “And how is your dear father getting on?” Mrs. Fitz-Simons asked. “Father seems to be improving from what mother writes,” Deke replied. “They are leaving St. Augustine for Pinehurst next week. They’ll be home when the girls come, the latter part of June.” “You have been away?” Mattie asked. “For a month,” Deke said. “I went first to New York for a week, and then to Chicago. X chased all around the West with as a pivot point and in fact I’ve slept on a train nearly every night for the last three weeks.” “Plow dreadful. I never sleep a wink on the train,” murmured Mrs. Fitz-Simons, preparing to move on. But Mattie Truesdale was not to be robbed of her chance to repay the snub Henry’s mother had dealt her so many months before. “I suppose you know all about our little Joyce,” she said sweetly. “No, I dpn’t,” Henry answered. “I really spoke to you in the hope of hearing about her. Do you know where she is?” “Somewhere in the East. You know she ran away when all that dreadful story of her week-end with Carter Deland came out.” Deke felt as though someone had struck him. He wished savagely that Mattie Truesdale were a man.

Now Mrs. Fitz-Simons was saying, “It was really sad,” she said. “Joyce seemed like such a sweet girl." She had heard Mattie’s version of the tale so many times that she had come to accept it herself. “I always mistrusted her sweetness,” said Mattie. “But we are paining, Mr. Deacon. He probably prefers to ask the young lady herself how she happened to be spending the week-end at Oaklands when that terrible bandit was killed out there." With a malicious nod and glance she pulled Mrs. Fitz-Simons after her down the lobby. Deke’s head was whirling. He wondered if he was sick. His trip had been a nightmare of discouragement and semi-success. Perhaps his nerves were playing him tricks. Better get a bath and something to eat and then sift this thing to the bottom. Perhaps there would be a letter at the house from Joyce. Reckless now of expense he hailed a taxi and was driven out into the to his home. The house was empty and forlorn. The spring evening was chilly and raw. with a passing x-egret for the days when his return meant a feast and a royal welcome of comfort he went

to the cellar and lighted the hot water heater. Back in his own room, surrounded by familiar and beloved things some of his weariness left him and he sat down to think. wonder if Franky’s back,” he thought. “She can give me the lowdown on this thing from Joy’s angle. And that’s the angle I really care about.” He went, to the telephone extension in the hall outside his room and called' Franky’s house. Presently her voice danced over the wire to him. “Deke!” she cried. “Is Joy with you!” “With me?” he lopeated, stupidly “I'es. 1 supposed you’d go right to her when you heard and knock that silly idea of leaving Cleveland out of her head by bringing her back as Mrs. Deacon.” “Franky, listen to me. I’ve been away for a month. I haven’t heard a thing from Joy. My only mail has been reports from the factory. Mattie Truesdale tried to murmur some nonsense in my ear about Joyce a while back in the Statler. Now tell me what is all about.” “Haven’t you seen the papers, either?” Franky demanded.

“Not a one of them.” “Then come over here to see me just as fast as you can come,” she commanded. “I’ll tell you the whole damn mess and then if you don’t take the first train east you're no friend of mine.” Deke hung up the receiver after promising to leave within a few minutes for Franky’s house. His mind was whirling. He made shore work of dressing and in a short time was running his Stutz out of the garage and speeding toward Franky’s house. She met him at the door and drew him in with both hands. “Deke, you look like a ghost. Haven’t you slept for a month or eaten for a year? Come in here.” She led the way to the library where a fire burned in an open fireplace. Seating him In a chair she poured him a stiff glass of whisky and rang for some sandwiches. Then she seated herself opposite him and began her story. “It all happpened just before I got back from England,” she said. “I haven’t seen Joyce myself. She was gone when I got back. But I talked to Judge Perkins and this is what he told me. “Old Fitzy let Carter jolly her into giving a house party the first week In April at the Anvil Club. Carter went for Joyce, and Instead of taking her to the club he took her out to Oaklands. Well, the judge sort of passed over what happpened there. Guess he thought it wouldn’t be ladylike to tell me. But Carter had some kind of wild idea that if he kept Joyce there a few days she’d he scared into leaving on a tour of the world with him. “Thexy just when he had her scared nearly to death in walked that Butch Seltzer guy who'd been

trailing Carter all the time and pulled a gun. But Carter shot first and Butch was killed. Just before he died he told Joyce where to find her mother. “They held Carter for preliminary examination or whatever they call it and he was released because it was in self-defiense. Hopkins, the Statler detective, got out there in time to see the shooting. But they made Joyce testify, too and the whole damn house party gang got in in time to hear the story in the courtroom and get all their pictures in the paper. “It pfetty nearly killed Joyce, I guess. Anyway, she and her mother dug out the next day and haven’t been heard of since. Judge Perkins told me that he knows where Joyce is and promised to tell me this week so I could write to her. "He stands up for her and of course I do, too. I know she’s as straight as a string, no matter what Mattie’s filthy tongue says.” “But why didn’t she tell me? Why didn’t she send for me?” Deke asked bewildered. “Women do funny things when they get into trouble,” Franky said. “Some of them stand up and tell it to go to hell, and others run away because they’re afraid of mixing their friends up in it, If I’d have been here I'd never let Joyce stir a step outside of Clevland.” “Go call Judge Perkins up,” Dake commanded. “Find out * where Joyce is.” “Will you go to get her?’’ Franky asked, her eyes sparkling. “I can’t. Franky," Deke groaned. “The factory’s about ready to fail and I don’t dare take a minute from it. If I can hold out two weeks more I think we’re safe. Otherwise, the whole thing's gone.” Franky said nothing, but went to the phone.

Presently she came back. Judge Perkins says she’s in Con ' necticut. She' has bought a house for her father and mother and is getting them settled.” “Bought a house?” Deke said in bewilderment. “She had that money her mother left her when she went away last fall,” Franky prompted loyally. Deke looked at her gratefully. Then his face fell again. “But she writes to Judge Perkins. Franky nocj^ed. “Then if she writes to him she isn't ready yet to write to me,’ his face looked old and weary. “Perhaps she expects you to
