CHAPTER LIII Continued. “No,” Mattie agreed, "and she'll come back here when she’s tired ot Carter and marry Henry Deacon, Just see if she doesn’t. I tried to tell him the truth about the girl, but he wouldn’t listen. Preferred Franky Starret’s version, I suppose.” “Franky must be crazy to believe in* the girl, after what happened,” Catherine said. "Yes, she's undoubtedly got Henry to believe her story and unless 1 miss my guess that girl will come back and marry him and queen it around as though she never had done a single thing she shouldn’t.” "Henry ought to know the truth,” Catherine said idly. "Why don't you tell him?” Mattie asked, leaning over the table. “He wouldn’t listen, and besides what good would it do?” "What good would it do? Listen, Catherine, if Joyce Daring marries Henry Deacon and then Carter Deland comes back to Cleveland, what do you suppose is going to happen?" Catherine looked at her friend. "He’d rush of couyse. I’ve thought of marrying the Robins boy just to get Carter interested in me,” she finished bitterly. "He’s always been fascinated by what he couldn't have.” “Well,” said Matilda, "in spite of the evidence, we can’t altogether swear that he had this Daring girl. And if he comes back and find her a married woman, well, you know how attractive they all find a man of Carter’s type.” "I might wire him to come,” Catherine said. / "To Carter?” Mattie asked in surprise. '‘No,” said Catherine impatiently. "What good would that do? To Henry Deacon.” "And tell him the truth about Joyce Daring?” Mattie half whispered. Catherine nooded, "Yes,” she said. "I’ll go and write the letter now.” CHAPTER LIV The Explosion Deke came slowly down the steps of his hqme. Nearly a week had passed since Ue had written to Joyce. It had been a week of strenuous work and real anxiety. He had not lost hope of hearing from her. "Whatever she writes, he thought, "will be the truth after all thla time. And if she thinks I’m to be put off, why I’ll clean up this business mess and go after her the way I’ve gone after the chemical business. Perhaps the letter will come today.” He backed the bright Stutz out of the garage and into the drive. Turning to watch his path he saw a messenger parking his bicycle against the curb in front of the house. "Joy's letter!" he exclaimed aloud. “This way, boy.”

He tipped the boy half a dollar and turned the letter to look at the handwriting. It was strange, and (he letter was postmarked "Cleveland.” "Funny,” he muttered, tearing it open. “Who's writing to me from Cleveland.” He went up to the porch! and sat in a porch rocker to read the letter. "Dear Deke.” He turned the thick pages, it was a long letter in a spidery feminine hand, to see the signature. "Yours faithfully, liaty Sherwin.” he read. Then he turned back to the beginning. "Dear Deke: "You are surprised of course to have this letter from me. 1 hope you will believe that it is written with your best iifterests as well as Joy’s at heart. 1 feel sure that she hesitates to tell you the truth, and perhaps finds it's hard to make you see just how she feels about what has happened. She has not asked me directly to write this to you. but I know that she has put off writing to y’ou because she hates to hurt you. "You will remember that Carter Deland rushed her very haid last winter while you were away at school. He told me then that he wanted to marry her, but because of that old marriage of his, was unable to do so. Joyce was very fond of him and often wondered why he did not ask her to be his wife. "Finally he decided to tell her the truth, as they had gotten to the placS where he felt he could not live without her. He told her that he cared deeply for her and that he regretted intensely that, as his first wife did not believe in divorce, he could not ask her to marry him. "He suggested that they go away together and live abroad. Joyce considered this seriously, but finally decided that although she loved him, it would be too one-sided an arrangement, because of her poverty. "Then, as you know, Mrs. Maltby died and left her all that money. She then felt that she could go to Cat*>r .without people saying that he had* bought her. So when the bouse party was planned they went to Oaklands instead of coming out to the Anvil Club. She had made all her preparations to go away wdth Carter and they began their ’honeymoon,’ if you can call it such, ! out there. "It was rudely interrupted after several hours of bliss by the ap- j pearance of that holdup man, Butch Seltzer. Carter had given Joyce all the family jewelry and as you know they were in her bedroom when Seltzer surprised them. "Naturally his death was a shock and Joyce and Carter decided to postpone their union, their (.public union that is, until some of the unpleasantness died out. That Is why she went Ea?t at once and Carter went abroad. "Os course, with her independence from the money Mrs. Maltby left her, she can join him vyhenever she chooses and I think /she will do so Boon. He is in Paris, and there is some talk of his getting a divorce. “However, that isn’t necessary, as Joyce had taken the decisive step toward living with him by spending that afternoon and evening at Oaklands with him. “You can see why she does not return to Cleveland and why she is waiting so quietly in the East before she sails to join him abroad. Os course, he is quite mad about her and doubtless they will be very happy, both of them rich, bqth of them in love enough not to care whether they marry or not, and with the memory, too, of so much tragedy shared together. . “I know that no one of your other friehds would have the courage to tell you the truth about the situation. I believe that Joyce would be glad that I have written this letter. For now you will know why she has not returned to accept the love Franky Starret says you are holding out to her. "Don’t hate me too much, Deke. Remember we are old friends. "Faithfully yours, “Katy Sherwin.” Deke read the letter slowly a second time. The item about Joy’s money puzzled him. Franky had said nothing about it. Why had she heid this fact back? Deke went into the house and telephoned Judge Perkins. "This is Deacon, Henry Deacon, speaking,” he told the judge. "I Just learned that Miss Daring has Inherited some money from Mrs. Maltby’s estate. Is that true?” “You didn't know?” the Judge exclaimed Jn surprise. "Os course, you were out of the city when the announcement was made, but I felt sure that you knew about it. Mrs. Maltby’s will provides that Miss Daring inherit a quarter of a million dollars. She Is also made joint

trustee with your mother and myself of an asylum for children which Mrs. Maltby endowed. Come in to see me. 1 I’ll show you the will. Have you heard from Joyce since she got the affairs of her father and mother straightened out?” "I haven't heard at all,” Deke answered cheerfully. "She's been through a lot this last month.” Deke. stood by the telephone looking down at Catherine Sherwin's letter. How plausible it all sounded. Joy's silence, her delay in writing to him. Her feeling that when she became rich through her Inheritance she would form a free will union with Carter. He went into the library and looked through the accunuikition of newspapers. There it was. Joy's picture stared out at him. He read the story through carefully. Catherine’s letter sounded all the more convincing in the light of the newspaper account of the happening. Deke took Catherine's letter in his hand. If it were true it spelled the end of all hopes. He turned his steps toward his own room. He could not go to the office until he had thought this thing through. If only Joyce were here to plead for herself. If only she had given him some sign. From his room he turned to the third story W'here his old laboratory still waited for him whenever the whim struck him. Here he had fought out his boyish battles, and found relief from his youthful troubles in tubes and chemicals which always seemed to him tools to create with. He opened the door. A cool musty smell greeted him. Still holding Catherine Sherwin’s letter he went to the windows and threw them open. Then he turned back to the hard laboratory bench where he had made his first experiments with acids and bases. A book of simple formulae lay face downward where he had left it the last time he had worked here. He looked at it idly and found himself half consciously reaching for tubes, scales, graduates, the ingredients that the experiment called for. "I've got to think,” he said half aloud. "I can think clearer if I’m working,” and he began to assemble his chemical problem. Painstakingly he measured his nitric acid. With care he added the other ingredients and set them to heat over a slow flame. Then while the ehemicils glowed and changed color over the slow heat, he watched them unseeingly, and thought of Joyce. "Suppose,” he began, talking to himself. "Suppose that everything

The Road to Health

I was so completely played out that I could hardly get around to do my work I was weak, nervous and all tired out, could not sleep, my head ached, my back hurt and I had pains through my sides. I was miserable but, after taking four bottles of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription I was feeling fine, my nerves quieted down, I could sleep and was free from all pains and distress.

Catherine hints is true. Suppose Joyce has actually given herself to Carter, does that change my love for her?” He considered this for a long time. "No.” he said aloud at last. "I still love her. It changes my hope of having her for my wife, if she loves Carter. But it doesn't change my loving her.” "Could you love her if she came to you now?” he asked himself after a little. He wrestled with a jealousy that threatened to consume him at the thought of Joyce coming to him front Carter’s arms. Sweat stood out on his forehead at this picture. "Then give her up. Never see her again. Blot her out of your life,” an inner voice whispered. Deke dropped his head on his arms and groaned. "I can't give her up,” he said between his teeth. He grew calmer. A thousand appealing pictures of Joyce showed themselves to him. Suddenly he thought of that long ago day when they had been driving and he had asked her if she had read “Comus.” They had been speaking of Carter. "It’s about a girl who gets lost in a wood full of evil things. But they have no power over her because of her goodness. They can’t even tempt her,” he had told her. "Do you feel that way about me?'* she had asked him with a pleased note in her voice. "Yes. I do, Joyce,” had been his ready answer. • (To Be ( oil! imicd) , (Copyright, 191’?, Famous Features Syndicate, Inc.
