The SOB SISTER

(Continued From Page 1) by any means. In an instant she was her old buoyant self again. “You’ve got a lot of nerve, I think,’’ she went on evenly. “You must think you’re a regular sheik/' Keene looked at her indulgently and smiled his slow, whimsical smile. ■He was utterly unconscious of the fact that his “little pal” a term incidentally, that Teddy had come to detest, was not joking. “We’ll protect you against him, dear,” smiled Diana Brooks. She was feeling In anything but a smiling mood. But she wanted to bolster up the game little sob-sister’B efforts to appear jocular, to hide the secret of that which had sent a wild but hopeless ecstacy through her body when Donald Keene had given ber that thoughtless kiss. He was still very much af a boy, was Donald Keene, in spite of his 35 years insofar as concerned women. And there was one young woman. Who liked him far better even than she herself knew. And she understood him better than he understood himself. But this same young woman would have repudiated any suggestion that she was in ,love with him —would have laughed at it as an absurdity. “We’ve got more’n an hour to kill,” Bill Canfield observed, glancing at the xlock. “What do you all say we iVo down to Mike’s Place and kill it over some hot coffee?” The proposal met with universal approval and a moment later the big room was deserted. The all-night restaurant on the ground floor of the Times building held only one customer as the party entered and took seats at a central table. Tills was a policeman Tim Whalen. He was an old-timer on the force and was known to them all. He nodded from his perch on a stool st the counter as they passed. “Any word of th’old man. Mr. Keene?” he queried, •‘speaking with •asy familiarity. “Not a thing, Tim,” replied the newspaperman. “It was th* hope that some clue might turn up that has kept us down here till this ungodly hour.” “It’s funny, MIGHTY funny,” commented the old policeman with s heavy emphasis on the qualifier of the much-misused word. “I have a premonition,” spoke up Diana at this point as they sat down, Mthat we’re going to meet with disappointment this morning.” The sweepjpf her glance embraced the group around the table.

His Rheumatism Is Entirely Gone Found Quick,Relief After 18 Years of Constant Suffering. Aqy reader who knows what, torture rheumatism can inflict, will rejoice with Col. Bed well, 605 W. Franklir, St., Hartford City, Ind., in his complete recovery. Mr. Bedwell tells how he found the way back to health, in the following letter: “I suffered with rheumatism for 18 years without getting more than temporary relief. My feet and legs would swell until at times I could hardly move, and the pain was awful. I couldn’t even take off my coat without help. Then I heard of Viuna and bought a bottle. From the first I saw It was helping me, and so I kept right on, and now I am pleased to say my rheumatism is all gone and I feel fine, ard work at the factory every day. I ,feel my present health is all due to Viuna.” Viuna acta promptly on sluggish bowels, lasy liver and weak kidneys. It purifies the blood, clears the skin, restores appetite and digestion, and brings new strength and energy to the whole body. 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 by Iceland Medicine Cos., Indianapolis, Ind. VIUNA The Wonder Medicine

“I seem to hear dad calling to me,” she continued. “It’s nerves of course. I realize that. But I seem to feel that we are going on a fruitless journey!” The older girl's grief-stricken voice released the stop-cock of Teddy’s ever-susceptible emotions. "Dia, dear,” she exclaimed, “you take all th’ heart out of me again! And I was feeling so optimistic too!” For a time the talk drifted in and out of the groove of generalities. At length the s’ow-moving hand on the wall clock touched the 5:30 figure. Donald Keene shovetf back his chair and rose from the table.

CHAPTER LX v The End Deke wore a beautiful look on his face. Mrs. Deacon kissed him. "I’m so glad for you both,” she murmured. “Isn’t she marvelous?" he asked falulously, patting his mother's cheek. Joyce was consulting with Judge Perkins. “I can't very well read the ceremony and give you away too,” he protested. There was a slight commotion in the hall and a voice calling in a stage whisper, “Joyce, oh Joyce.” Joyce went to the door. There stood Gladys with Jim Hopkins sheepishly at her side. Joyce ran to them. “You’re just in time for my wedding.” she cried. “Oh, and you can give me away, Mr. Hopkins.” And so it was. Jim Hopkins feeling that he occupied a star role in his duel capacity of newly married bridegroom and “father” of Joyce gave her in marriage with a dramatic “I do.” Joyce made her answers quietly, holding Deke’s hand firmly in hers and guiding his hand as he placed the wedding ring on her finger. Franky had shopped for the plain platinum band that Deke used as he spoke the words, “With this ring I do thee wed." Frank, too, furnished most of the tears. Gladys was too thrilled at this dramatic proceeding, and Mrs. Deacon too deeply moved, to cry. Judge Perkins felt his eyes mist when Joyce kissed Deke at the end of the ceremony. He made his congratulations in a shaky voice. “I must tell my mother and father,” Joyce so id, when the ceremony W'as finished. But Deke would not let her go. “You send the wire, Franky.” “Give them our love. Our, understand?” Frank promised and presently Joyce and Deke were alone waiting for the final consultation of the specialists who were to perform the operation in the morning. “I know that it will be a success now,” Deke said. "I’ve got to get well. I want to see my wife.” Joyce held his hand closer. “You will get well,” she told him solemnly. But the great specialists shook their heads at her later when she faced them In the consultation room. “This excitement has been very bad for him,” one of them told her. “His pulse Is rapid, his temperature shows an increase, and I am seriously afraid of the consequences of the shock.” His confrere disagreed with him. “My observation of the patient,” he said, “is that in the past he has shown no particular inclination to get. well. Now he has an Incentive

Why Was Diana Brooks Kidnaped?

“C’mon,” he said, “it Isn’t more than 15 minutes’ drive out to where we’re going, but we might as well wait out there as here.” It proved to be almost a 30-minute drive but they found the woman waiting in the shadow of a tree m the place she had named. “Oh, my friend!” she began at once as Diana, followed closely by her four companions, hurried up to her. “I never was so sorry in all my life! I was so sure 1 was going to be able to do you a good turn in pay for all you’ve done for me. I would, too, only—” She stopped and gazed helplessly at Diana, wto was hanging on her

to life,” and he looked appreciatively at Joy's young beauty. “Well, we shall see In the -morning,” said the older man. But Joy pinned her faith on the words of the younger doctor. All through the night she prayed. Toward four in the morning she left her room and went to stand outside Deke’s door. Mis. Deacon joined her and the two women cried in each other's arms. In the morning Joyce spent a brief half hour with Deke before they made him ready for the operation. They said very little. When the time came to part Joyce whispered against his lips. “I love you, Deke. 1 know you will come back.” And he answered, "I love you, Joyce, my wife, I am going to come back/' To Joyce the minutes they spent, she and Deke’s mother, Mr. Deacon. Judge Perkins, and Franky, outside the door of the surgery while the doctors went about their delicate work, seemed like separate eternities. She felt utterly alone, despite the presence of the othei-R. By the clock it was three hours of waiting. To Joyce it was thirty years. Then there came the scuffling of feet. The door of the surgery was flung open. “Mr. Deacon is doing nicely,” a nurse said. "Can he see?” hurst from four throats simultaneously. Joyce could not speak. “He can see.” the nurse smiled. “And he is asking to see his wife.” It is three years since I saw the lovelight dawning in my husband's eyes for me. I can still thrill to the

words with keen anxiety. ’“Only what 7 ” Diana prompted quickly, “tell me—at once! What has happened? Where is my father? Have they taken him—” “That’s it!” cut In the woman excitedly. She caught her breath with a little gulp. ‘‘They’ve took him from that house, th’ third f’m th’ corner—” Indicating the opposite side of the street—‘‘about 2 o’clock this morning. I found out that much f’m my man when he came in an hour ago. But I couldn’t get th’ number f’m him—th’ place where they took your father —although he said it was somewhere in K street.

memory of that time when I stood beside his bed while the nurse lifted the bandage over his eyes for a moment. Only a moment, for it was days before he could Bo without some protection for his eyes. But in that brief glance I saw burning in his gaze at me all the love and faith and passion that had held me true through my years of trial. What more can I write? The finest, the biggest years of my life have been the last three, spent in the shelter of Deke's love for me. They too are a story of joy. Deke is reading the final chapters as I write this. I am waiting for the kiss that I know will be mine when he turns to me. after reading the words the nurse spoke, the words that summoned me to happiness. He is coming—- “ Why don't you write the real end. or is It the beginning, of our story?” he asks me. "What else is there to tell?” I answer, my hand in his. “The rest of the story would be all you, .the story of a wonderful hust>and. Since you're so wonderful, you end the story for me.” “Darned if I will.” says my husband. “I’m no writer.” We looked up at the opening of the door. Escaping front the arms of his nurse was our small son. Henry. Junior —whom my Beloved Deke will call Hank. “Here's the guy to write the end of our story.” Deke cried, swinging the boy to his shoulder and bending over me. “Just give Rank the pen for a minute. He'll finish it for you.” ‘‘Not much.” I answered, taking Junior and steering his uncertain hands into his father's hair. “Ouch! You rascal!

An’ that's no lie, either, as it happens. I have two bundles of wash to take home.” “Then you will call me?” asked Diana as she slipped a yellowbacked bill Into the woman’s toilworn hand and quickly turned her head to avoid the look of gratitude she knew was shining in the tired eyes.

I call you Hank.” He grows jt little thoughtful and smiles at me with that steady smile I know and love so well. “You’ve done a real job here, Joy, giving folte the inside of your struggle. It's like a friendly letter to them, like the letters you write to Davey on his South American plantation. How’s this for an ending?” ‘‘Young Hank was a year old Sunday. He weighs twenty-two pounds.
