X never touch 11 “Thy will be done. Teddy. Here I’ll fix it up with pure sweet juice. All right?" “Fine." Teddy was lifting the drink to her lips, but stopped midway. Diana Brooks with John Walden Jr., at her elbow, had entered the room. Both Teddy and Don started. Diana's greeting was thick. Her manner was one of exaggerated buoyancy. She lurched slightly as she held out a hand to Teddy. “You’re awright, dear, an’ besht compn’y you hav’n th* world! I mean him —” blinking at Don. John Walden, hovering in the background, grinned. Then he moved up, joining the little group. “C’mon, Diana," he said, reaching for her arm, “we have this dance." “Not till I have ’mother cocktail, Jawn." The girl's lovely gray eyes were casting about as if in fever. “I wouldn't, Walden,” Donald Keene threw in as Diana's escort reached for his flask. "All right—nev’ mind. I’m crazy t’ dance!" said Diana pacifically. "Hear.that —listen—that music—” She waltzed out of the ante room, Walden in her wake. “I’ve never seen her like that before, Don," said Teddy, genuine concern in her voice. “I wonder if she’s worried over something?" “I don't know,” he replied shortly. “But I don’t like it. And with that fellow, too. Come, let’s go back to th’ ballroom, Teddy. Finish your drink first. Dlnny is waiting." Teddy rejoined Dinny Mofrlson and Don went back to Lola, who by that time was surrounded by a group clamoring for dances. The realization that other men also found her desirable and attractive sharpened Don’t own desire for her. Teddy’s misgivings about her dress
All Worn Out By Back-ache Says He's Full of Pep Now, and Pains Are All Gone. Does your back ache till it seems ready to break? A prompt way to end the trouble is shown in a letter written by Curtis Chappell, 1130 E. St. Clair St., Indianapolis, Ind. He tells about his recovery, as follows: “I suffered with pains in my kidneys and back for three years. My back at times seemed as if it would break in two. I was tired out most of the time, and when I came home from work I just felt like I wanted to lie down. I lost flesh until I only weighed 155 pounds. Nothing I took did me any -good till I found Viuna, and after taking only one bottle I was_jQ:onderfully relieved. My back stopped aching and I began to get some pep. My appetite picked up and I began to gain weight till I now weigh 170 pounds (a gain of 15 pounds), and feel fine and eat anything." Tinna acts promptly bit sluggish bowels, lazy 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. t, VIU N A The Wonder Medicine

wore away early in the evening. She was really enjoying herself even though the arms about her were not, save for a dance or two, those of the man'She adored, Dinny danced well. Teddy found some pleasure in that and tried to cast out the longing in her heart for the other man. Don, by his absence, had forfeited several dances with Lola. He almost regretted his fleeting harshness. “But, damn it!" he swore softly to himself, “Lola had no right to snub little Ted that way!” He looked around for Diana. The polished floor threw up reflections of the couples swaying to the mad strains of a Hungarian one-step. He failed to see Diana among the confusion of gay colors. But he found her a few moments afterward in the a/ite room. She was sipping anoaher highball. Walden at her side was pouring himself a drink from his flask. “Welcome—reform candidate!" Diana uttered her words even more thickly than a half hour before following them with a silly smirk toward Don. “May I have this dance, Dia?” He approached her, ignoring what she had said. “If you don’t mind, Walden," he added, including Diana’s escort. “Not ’tall. Ol’ frien’s, you’d Dla —don’ min’ leasht bit.” John Walden, Jr., was in a serenely acquiescent mood. His flask wa~ nearly empty. * Don piloted Diana through the maze of dancers, guiding her out in the direction of the veranda. “Thot’ you said you wanted t* dance," she reminded hiqa querulously. “Not in your condition, Diana,” he answered gently. “You need air. my dear. What’s th’ idea, drinking all that stuff, anyway?" “Quit preaching," she retorted crossly. “I don’t intend to preach, Dia. But I clhy want to avoid, for your sake, any nasty impression these people might get. After all, this is entirely unlike you, girl. Promise me, won’t you, that you’ll not touch any more of th' stuff?" “I resent your interference!” she flashed back at him, her beautiful gray eyes almost black with anger. “I’m not a kid. One would think I was 16 years old, th’ way you're orderthg me about. Go an’ ’tend to Loda. She’s th’ one you came here with!" Jerking her arm free Diana turned with an angry toss of her head and walked away. Don watched her, seriously disturbed, as she glid-

ed across tlje floor, her slight unsteadiness accentuating her sinuous movements. He could not free himself from perturbation at her unusual behavior which persisted throughout the remainder of the evening. He voiced this worry to Teddy during their next dance together. “She seems almost hysterical,” his little protege admitted, although for the moment little else concerned her outside the sweetness of Don's arms about filer waist. “A kind of bravado, as if she were defying someone or something." 4 His words spoken close to her ear were barely audible above the din of the music. “ ‘Driftwood’—that’s what they’re playing, isn’t it, Don?” Teddy's voice trembled, but Don Keene was unaware of it. “I believe it is," he answered matter of-factly. “Good tempo,” “Driftwood from the ship of dream*. Still drifts back to me: All that s left to me. it seems— A tenor in the orchestra was singing it. Teddy steeled herself against the tide of emotion that insisted .upon surging to the surface of her It was 2 o'clock In the morning when Dinny and Teddy, Lola and Don departed. Don had lingered, undecided about Diana, who was careening about the floor oblivious to her friends’ very -existence. He finally concluded slfe would be safe enough with Walden, who had brought her to the dance. Walden was a gentleman. Fully an hour passed after her four friends had gone, before Diana admitted she was tired—that she wanted to go home. “Don was right. , Th’ air is wonderful," she remarked to Walden as they stood for a moment waiting for his car. She moved to the edge of the porch where the scent of lilac blossoms driped from the shadows. Their clean fragrance 3truck her nostrils like a balm, shaming the fumes of liquor with which she had been surrounded all the evening. “Sweet —like a precious elixir,” she murmured softly, her nostrils dilated, drinking in the flowers’ delicate perfume. “Poetizing, Dia?" Walden tried to keep his voice free of cynicism, but his thin lips were drawn back over his teeth in a sneer. Diana, standing in the shadows, did not see his face. “Th’ wages of gin is breaths and headaches, and, oh, such a horrid state all around." The girl spoke lightly, but her voice was edged with a tinge of sadness as she snuggled down in the front seat and stretched out her tired limbs. Walden started the motor. “Poor child,” he said, simulating sympathy, “put your head against my shoulder and rest.” “.Suits me. Goodness knows it feels like a stone,” she replied carelessly

ar.d allowed her head to rest lightly against his arm. “You can kill that hang-over with another drink, Dia,” suggested Walden cautiously. “I refilled th’ old container with some of Mortle’s." “That theory isn’t going to be tried just now,” laughed the girl. “I am of th’ opinion it would just about annihilate me.” The cool night air fanning her face made her drowsy. She dozed off. She was jerked back to wakefulness by the cessation ot the motor’s throb. Walden had stopped the car. “Anything wrong?" she asked, straightening up. Instead of replying in words, Walden flung an arm around her waist, pinioning her to him. “Please don't do that ” Diana pleaded, a mild terror assailing her. The next moment she realized the futility of pleading. The beast In John Walden was unleashed. He was passionately kissing her throat, her lipg, unmindful of the girl's slender hands pushing against him. Struggling tn his embrace she manager to loosen one ol her arms and found the knob of the door. She opened it and then bringing all the power she could summon to her aid struck her fist into Walden's face. A thin stream of red trickled down to the man’s lips. But Diana did not see that. She was running down the road, back in the direction of the Bradhurst Country Club. (TO BE CONTINUED) Diana has escaped Walden, but she is not yet finished with danger —as you will read in tomorrow's installment..
