CHAPTER LVI (Continued) Life seemed very empty for Joy after her decision, hardly worth living. She had not realized how very much she had counted on Deke’s sending for her, or comiijg to claim her. Now she felt the need of action. She went to the top of the stairway and called her mother. “Do you want to help me pack?" she asked. “I'm going to New York this afternoon. 1 think I'll stay with Gladys for a few days. Would you like to come with me and meet father in the city?" Mrs. Daring fluttered up from the kitchen. To Joyce she seemed a changed person. Her imagination refused to present this home loving mother of hers as the woman who had been the tool of bootleggers, who had sold her home for the mess of pottage that was made of trinkets and silk stockings and fine things to wear. “She and father have traded places,” Joyce thought. “Now he is the ambitious one, and she is the on# who wants to stay at home and read by the fire.” Together they packed Joy’s traveling bag and then Agnes Daring went to her room to dress. She felt that some new trouble bad come to her daughter but she felt too, the hopelessness of trying to bridge the gulf with her own hands. “I have failed her,” she thought Mtdly. “When she needed her home I took It from her. Now she has learned to do without me. We have lost her.” They spoke little on the ride to the city. Joyce telephoned Gladys from the utation and received a warm invitation to stay in Gladys’ fiat with her. “Bring your mother along honey,” •he said. “Tell your dad to come out, too. We'll throw some kind of a party that won’t shock them too much. Your voice sounds like you need cheering up.” “We’ll be right out,” Joyce promised. “Never mind the party, please, Glad. I don’t feel liße one.” “That’s just when you need one most,” Gladys retorted. “Well, there'll be another day. I’ll let you off this time and just be my own merry self.” They left word In the Insurance office for John Daring to come to Gladys' flat and took a taxi to Gladya' address. Joyce stared listlessly out at the throngs of people. Once the windows full of pretty clothes would have stirred her to envy. Now when, if sh# tihose. she might buy of their wares to her heart’s content she felt no interest In them. Gladys welcomed them with open arms. “Come in,” she cried. “It's a good thing you came this week. I’m leaving for Cleveland next week to become Mrs. James Hopkins, esquire. The show closed a week early and I don’t see any point in waiting. I’m

All Hands' Try This! Everyone who relishes good food, no matter what their age, should make this test for their good health. Eat what you like, as much as you want, then munch one or two Eatonic tablets after an enjoyable meal. See how quickly all signs of indigestion, “stuffy” feeling, stomach gasses, heart burn and similar annoyances leave and give no trouble. For many years Eatonic tablets have been used like after-dinner mints in families everywhere. They are a safeguard none should ever be without. And their tasty flavor appeals to all who eat them. Eatonic is not "medicine”—just a means of preventing the ordinary after-effects of hearty eating. Try them for a few meals you 11 never be without them after.

going to stay at the Statler and knock Mattie Truesdaye and Mrs. Fltz cold with my new clothes. Come out shopping with me.” Joyce demurred. “I've got a headache, Glad,” she said. “Take mother with you. I think I’ll just lie down and get a little rest If you don’t mind.” Gladys and Mrs. Daring left pves-| ently and Joyce stretched out on ' Gladys’ bed and fell into an uneasy slumber. Deke seemed to be calling her, she saw him in her dream holding out his'arms to her. She awoke at dusk, unrefreshed. “I wish that he did need me,” she thought. “If only lie would let me come to him. Just to be near him.! Just to help in some way if 1 could.” i She got up when she heard the others coming in. “Brought you some Cleveland pa-! pers honey," Gladys said. “They’re ■ a day old, but I thought you might I like some news of your old home' town just the same.” She handed Joyce the papers and , went into the bedroom to repair the afternoon’s inroads on her madeup. She turned at the sound of a strangled cry from Joyce. Running i to the living room she saw Joyce ; staring at the paper she held in her j hand. “What is it?” Mrs Daring and ' Gladys ran to the girl’s side. "There there, read It to me, It can’t be true,” Joyce moaned. Gladys took the paper and read i aloud the item Joyce marked with her finger. SON OF CHEMICAL ? MANUFACTURER INJURED BY EXPLOSION "Early this morning Henry Deacon, son of A. J. Deacon, owner of the Deacon Chemical Plant, was injured about the eyes by an explosion in his private laboratory at the Deacon home, Fairmount Boulevard. “The house escaped serious damage owing to the prompt efforts of the fire department. Mr. Deacon was removed to hospital where doctors hold little hope for the recovery of his sight.” The three women stood silent a'

moment. Then Joyce went to the telephone. She called Western Uninon and sent the following message: “To Miss Frances Starrett: Overland Road, Cleveland,, Ohio. “Cleveland paper reports Deke blinded by explosion. Wire if true. JOYCE.”
