CHAPTER LVIII Renunciation t>eke stirred in Joy’s arms and lifted his hand to touch her face. This was a dream of course, another of those torturing fancies from which he woke to the realities of blindness and pain. How soft her Cheek was. And what was this? Tears? They felt real. He could taste their salty wetness. His heart began to race. Could it be, was this a reality? “Joyce,” he whispered fearfully, then as though the words were a talisman, “Joygiri:” “I’m here, Deke,” she murmured. “Here to stay, to take care of you. Don’t send me away, Deke, I need you. I need to be near you. I am starved without you.” Deke pressed her to him with all his strength. “This is not another dream?” he asked, touching her hair, running his fingers down her face to her soft throat. “It's a dream come true, Deke,” Joyce answered with a quiet happiness in her voice. They were silent. Joyce, with a heart full to overflowing of pity for his helplessness. Deke with the wonder of Joy’s presence. Shortly he spoke. “You know. Joyce,” he said, “you know that 1 love you. Not even when Katy Sherwin sent me that terrible letter. Oh- Joyce, I shall never forget. It was the last thing I saw before 1 went blind. I was in my'laboratory and when I lighted a match to destroy that letter, the chemicals explpded. Oh, Joyce, if only I could see you, just once, just once again." “Hush,” said Joyce softly. “You mustn’t get excited, Deke, dear. You’re going to get well, you know. Deke, can you stand it if I tell you all the truth of that whole horrible house party?” “It isn’t necessary,” Deke said. “It doesn’t matter what you have done. All that matters is that you ard here with me now.” Wonder dawned on Joy’s face. f'Would you still want me, even if Indigestion and Back-ache Gone IVouble All Gone Now. Backache Quit. Eats Anything. 'People who are suffering from atomach or kidney trouble will enjoy reading a letter written by Charles L. Scott, 839 E. Maryland St., Indianapolis, lnd; Instead of being an Invalid, he says his health is perfect now. Mr. Scott writes: “I suffered with stomach trouble for twenty years. I was bloated and at times I felt as if there was a rock lying in the pit of my stomach. My kidneys were weak and disturbed me during the night. My back ached all the time. Nothing I ate did me any good, and I tried different medicines without improving. Then a friend told me to try Viuna. The first bottle made me feel better and so I kept right on. When I started in I only weighed 145 pounds; now I weigh 157 pounds, a gain of 12 pounds, and I feel fine. Don’t have any trouble with my stomach any more and can sit down to the table and eat a good hearty meal without one bit of fear. I don’t have any trouble with my kidneys and back, either. All the pains have gone. My ponstipation is entirely gone, and I want to say Viuna did It all.” Ylnna acta promptly bn sluggish bowels, lazy liver and weak kidneys. It purifies the blood, clears the skin, restores appetite and digestion, and brings Sew strength and energy to the whole ody. Take a bottle on trial. Then if you’re not glad you tried Viuna, your money will be refunded. $1 at druggists, or mailed postpaid bv Iceland Medicine Cos., Indianapolis, IndL > VIUNA The Wonder Medicine

what Catherine wrote is true?” she asked, stroking his hand. A spasm of pain passed over his face, but he spoke steadily. “I would want you If you were the wife in name and truth of another man. Joyce, I love you. It’s absolute. It doesn’t matter what you do, what you have done, I love you, always.” Joyce laid her cheek on his. “Deke,” she whispered, “do you remember one time when you told me about the girl In the story, the girl whom nothing could harm, because she was good clear through.” He nodded his head gently and put his hand on her hair. “The night that Carter had me there at Oaklands I remembered that. I made up my mind that If he kept there a year I could still say to myself 'your price is above rubies,’ that’s what the Bible says of a girl who Is virtuous. I knew that perhaps no one, not even you, would believe me, but I knew, too. that in my heart I would always be glad that nothing Carer said or did, either frightened me or tempted me away from the ideals you have of me. I’m all yours, Deke, whenever you want me. And I’ve never been anyone's else.” Deke lifted her head and kissed her. There were no words for his happiness. His faith in Joyce had been vindicated. An hour before he had been utterly indifferent to the promise of the doctors that he might recover. Now it seemed to him that no pain was too great, no risk too terrible, to take, that this prize might be his. Joyce was speaking. “Do you want me, Deke?” “Want you?” he kissed her again. “So much,” he said, “that these damned doctors can cut me up alive if it will make me well any quicker.” “I don’t want to wait until you are well,” Joyce said with shy determination. Deke squeezed her hand. “You darling. But I can’t let you do that Joyce. I can’t let you go through life tied to a blind man. If I get through this operation with my sight restored we’ll be married the first moment you say the word. Otherwise I’m going to give you up.” “Suppose I refuse to be given up.” Dewe made no answer. “Suppose I were the one who lay here injured, would you turn away from me?” Deke made a sudden motion. “That’s different,” he said fiercely.

“Women were made to be taken care of.” “Think, Deke,” Joyce said earnestly. “Suppose, just suppose, though I don't believe it, that you don’t get your sight back? Will's going to teach you to be a man again, you’ll have to learn to walk, to read, to make you way about. Oh, Deke, that's my privilege, if you don’t get well. You must not deny me the right to take charge of you,” “Have you forgotten?” Deke asked anew note of bitterness in his voice, “have you forgotten that in addition to being blind, 1 am now poor? Judge Perkins and my father are holding a post-mortem on the business now. There’ll be nothing left when they are through. “All that money that Mrs. Maltby left me is yours to use as you wish,” Joyce said quietly. “My God, Joyce," Deke cried. “Don't make me feel like a beggar,” “Oli Deke, forgive me. You are not a beggar, if you take this money now I’ll get it all back. I'm not giving it to you. I'm investing it in your business.” “You don’t understand, Joyce,” he groaned. “I can’t let you promise yourself to me, give your money to me, wait on me like a servant when I have nothing to give you in return.” Color flamed In Joy’s cheeks, but she spoke witli steady courage. “You have love to give me. There is no price to love. If you will have me for your wife I can have children, be all that a woman is meant to be. I afn only half alive if you let your foolish pride stand in the way of our happiness.” “If I get well I’ll marry you, I'll always love you. I love you too much to let you throw your youth and beauty away on me, crippled, poor, unable to take care of myself.” Deke spoke stubbornly and two spots of color burned in his cheeks. Joyce saw his weariness and felt contrite. “I’m tiring you,” she said. “I’ll go now and let you rest again, Deke,” she kissed him as she spoke. “Deke, I want you to do something.” “What is it?” he asked, trying to speak gruffly, but letting his hands take her face between them, and pressing his fingers against her cheeks. "I’ve worn this around my neck on a chain ever since you gave it to me,” she put the ring in his hands. “Now put it here, where it belongs.”

She clasped his fingers around the fourth finger of her left hand. Deke kissed her fiercely. Then the old stubborn look came hack into his face. “I can't, Joyce," he said. (To be continued.)
