EIGHTH INSTALLMENT
SYNOPSIS
The Story so far: Joyce Ashton,
poor stenographer, in a skidding,
taxicab accident in Chicago, 'suffered
loss of memory. Two years later
she woke one Morning after a fall
from her horse to find herself, un-
der the name :of Frills, married to
Neil Packard, rich California fruit
packer. From letters in her desk
she learned something about her life
in the two-year interval, and realiz-
ed that she had been a heartless,
reckless young woman and that she
is seriously involved in an affair
with a man named Maitland. She
decided that ab all costs she would
end it, but she found Maitland hard
to manage. , Her troubles were fur-
ther complicated when she read a
Ietter referring to a baby—was it
hers?—that the writer, Sophie;
thought Frills ought to have with
her. Much to the surprise of Sam,
in her husband's employ, she asked
for a dog and he got her one.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

Shortly after ten o'clock Sam
brought the ear to the front door
and stowed away her two suitcases.
The bank teller at the bank greet-
ed her with a friendly smile. "Good
morning, Mrs. Packard. Say, that
was some little tumble you took.
How do you feel after it?"
'Oh, I'm alright," replied Joyce
hastily. She pushed her check in air
him and stood on tiptoe with breath-
less impatience while he deliberately
counted out the money. Then she
seized it, thanked him abruptly and
almost ran out to the car again.
When they were well out of the
town, humming swiftly along the
smooth roads, Joyce felt her nervous
fear evaporate ander the stimulus of
an irresistibly mounting spirit of
adventure. This was going to be
fun, she reflected happily.
They reached` San Francisco about
noon and Joyce parted from Sam
with mingled feelings of relief and
regret. As soon as she was installed
in her clean little room at the Y. W.
C. A. building she proceeded imme-
diately to carry out her plan of ac-
tion.
The days passed rapidly. In the
morning Joyce went out for her in-
structions in driving a car. In these
drives, much to her surprise, she en his knee, and wrote in it, slowly.

"Good-bye, Miss--.?"
"Joyce Ashton," she said without

He raised his bat and was gone.
Joyce was frankly disappointed.
"He might have said he'd like to
see me again," she thought. then ad-
ded, "But, oh, dear, I've no right to

as at least intelligent enough to talk
to. ..
• It had been such a reilef to shed
the mantle of Frills Packard and
diserss with frankness the things
that she, Joyce Ashton,' was inter -
with wide shoulders and strong' ested in, that she knew she had
arms. As for his face,' the details been unusually vivacious and lacking
of it impressed themselves on Joyce
so strongly in the first few minutes'
of their meeting that she felt she
would never lose the picture.
"I'm afraid I'm not altruistic e-
nough to give the book to yOU,"
laughed Joyce. "Robert Ainsworth
is one of my favorite authors and
I've wanted to get hold of this book
for years but never could. It's out
of print, you know—"
The little Chinese waitress, subt-
ly 'smiling, approached. "Some tea?"
she asked.
Joyce rose hastily. "No, no, I
must goy—"
"Then I'll go with you," he said
at once, thrusting a bill in the hand
of the little Chinese girl, and fol-
lowing Joyce, who was a little be-
wildered but glowing with pleasure.
They walked for over an hour, and
Joyce discovered that her new friend
had read nearly every book that had
been written, and that his enthusi-
asms were largely hers. He agreed
eagerly with her opinions of Robert
Ainsworth, whom, he said, he "rev-
ered above all other moderns," He
praised Ainsworth so lavishly in
fact, that Joyce had a sudden sense
that be was making fun of her, and
for the first time she felt a slight
hostility toward him. She could not
bear her admiration for Ainsworth;
whom she cosidered so gifted a
writer, to be slighted.
Hastily gathering her bearings,
she discovered that they had gone in
a circle and were again near the Y.
W. C. A. and she therefore led their
steps in that direction.
"Good-bye," she said "and it's
been great fun talking with you. Ihn
only sorry you don't—quite—feel as
I do about Robert Ainsworth. Un-
der the circumstances, I shall have
no compunctions about claiming my
book!"

with a broad, eager smile on his
face and bent oyer her. Joyce fore -
ed herself to lift her face obediently
for his kiss, but moved away hastily
to prevent a second.
"You were lucky to get even one,"
she said lightly, but her heart
thumped so hard it made her breath
come short, "Look, who's here!
Dickie, speak to the gent!"
"So that's your new dog, is it?
Hullo, feller, you're a cute cuss, all
right. 'Cone here, boy!" Dickie was
quite ready to sake friends, for he
appeared to regard every mam in the
light of a potential playmate. He
began now 'a little eager whining
interspersed with short barks.
"That means he wants you to
throw a stick for him," she explain-
ed, "he has one great passion in
life, and that's to be given something
to worry and run away and play tug-
of-war with."
Her voice faltered a little at the
end when she looked up and met the
puzzled expression on Packard's face.
"Dinner's almost ready," she went
on hastily, abandoning Dickie as a
topic of conversation, "you haven't
had any, have you?"
"No, and I'm hungry as a bear.
Hope Marcia's got something good

in shyness. Apparently, however;
Ainsworth had been no more than
casually interested. He had left her
without protest, and he had made no
effort to see her again. Ire had not
despised her intelligence, but he had
been indifferent to her femininity!
All at once Joyce found this some-
what bitter.
Days went by and Joyce drifted
on until one day she drew hes
thoughts up sharply. She had allow=
ed herself to grow forgetful of her
situation, to visualize Frills Packard
as a separate person, and to consider
herself as detached from Neil and
Mart and the whole life in Manzan-
ita. Little as she had grown used
to it, Frills was herself! Frills' hus-
band was her husband!
Neil Packard: her husband. Neil
whom she had no more than barely
spoken to, but on whose bounty she
had been so lavishly living: here
was problem enough to occupy her.
More and more the subject . of his
return grew on her as a formidable
reality
or walking a single victim off a
plank, The ocacsion was a week's
Jamboree of Boy Scouts of the var-
ious islands of the British West In-
dies and British Guiana, celebrating
the21stanniversary of scouting in,
Trinidad.
Joyce had time during these two
weeks to wonder about the friends
site had left in the East. Did they
ever think about her? She had been
secretary to one of the members of
the Lyman-Warde firm of advertis-
ing agents. Mr. John K. Lyman was
an elderly, impersonal gentleman
who had never appeared to recog-
nize the fact that she might have
a life outside of the office. At the
end of three years of this sort of
existence Joyce was deathly sick of
the city and the monotonous routine
of her days, from the early morning
scramble for her turn in the bath-
room to the evening crush in the
crowded, stuffy trolley cars.
Joyce had made a sudden desper-
ate decision. to get out of it all and

and started out for the West of
which she had, to be frank, 'only the
vaguest general knowledge.
As she lay in her bed in the Y. W.
C. A. Joyce smiled and frowned al-
ternately at the thought of how her
plan had turned out.
Thirteen days after she had left
Manzanita, Joyce received the word
that ended her solitary campaign to
fit herself for taking the position of
Frills Packard again. The morning
nail enclosed a laconic telegram
from Neil; "Arrive Manzanita Mon-
day evening." This was Monday
morning. Joyce immediately got
Saar on long distanee and asked hint
to drive to the city for her.
On the way hone she questioned
him with forced interest about all
that had happened during her ab-
sence. Sant imparted what news he
could think up; Dickie had won the
love of both Roxie and Marcia, Ro-
sita was in fine condition; Sant had
exercised her a little every hay bst
site was r'aring to go and Mrs. Pack-
ard would find her full of pep; there
had been a small fire at the packing
plant but almost no damage had
been done; and so on, a list of triv-
ial items to which Joyce listened
with an interest that grew in spite
of herself.
She spent the afternoons riding in
beautiful Golden Gate park. Her
first timidity vanishing very quick•
ly, she made gratifying progress and
everyday looked forward to her ride
with greater. pleasure.
One day she overheard some girls

She retraced her steps.

her book,

Dickie was at the gate to meet
them and his joyous welcome filled
Joyce with a quite disproportionate
sense of pleasure of coming home.
But when she entered the big luxur-
ious bedroom she was struck for
the first time by the dismaying real-
ization that soon she would be un-
able
mable to flee to it for refuge and es-
cape.
She unpacked hurriedly and had
a bath, careful to take a negligee in
with her and to lock the bathroom
door. It was horrible to feel that
at any' moment a strange man might
enter that 'bedroom, and that :she
could not order him out! ..Suppose'
'he came before she finished dressing!
In a panic she jumped out of the
bathtub and dried herself hastily.
,She dressed in the huge closet,
thankful that its size made this pos-
sible, and was completely ready be-
fore seven -thirty.
Dickie followed her downstairs and
they went through the front door to-
gether. Just as they stepped out-
side a big blue touring car. came up
the driveway. Joyce felt a curious
tightening in her throat as she re
cognized Neil Packard.
"Hullo there, darling, how've you -
been?" cried Packard, jumping out
of the car. "I was hoping you'd

make it difficult or impossible for
many boys to attend a summer camp,

The alternative is knocking round

rankling grievance against things
in general added to the ordinary op-
portunities for mischief.
Here is a field in which service
clubs and other organizations may be
able to help importantly, and not in -a
financial way only. In attics and
cellars there may be tents which car
be loaned. There may be hunting and
fishing cabins, and unused summer
cottages which could be placed at the *
the disposal of groups of boys under *

NECESSITY ---Not Riches
MAKES US DO THE RIGHT THING
Let's thank Heaven for those business
firms which are carrying on - - fighting the
depression. There are many of them. Nec-
essity - - not an abundance of riches - - for-
ces them to keep going in strength. 1f they
relaxed their sales efforts - - if they sus-
pended their advertising - - ruin might over-
take thee,:,
The interesting thing is that those who
are down in the ninth applaud those with
steam up and who are fighting for the bus-
iness to bt, had. If this world had no fight-
ers we'd all be overcome with despair. As
it is we get some buoyancy just from watch-
ing the fighters.
But how much better it would be if
more of us did some real fighting - - if we did
sone advertising - - if we got out and did
some hustling, too, which would buck
others up.
That's what The News -Record is trying
to do. Keep going ourselves without sur-
rendering any of our old-time quality, and
thus assisting others. Come now - - all to-
gether!
