running from it.
so while Forester was growing
up, he was accustomed to seeing
wines and liquors about the house

carefully during his childhood. When

His sufferings at the last were

expelled for drunkenness, she

CHAPTER XXXVIII
A Dying Wish

A heavy, dreary March rain fell on
Joyce and Judge Perkins as they
went up the long flight of stone
steps to the Maltby residence.
A sad faced butler let them in and
Joyce could see that the parlor maid
mad been crying. Upstairs there
was the sound Of hushed feet. Joyce
saw two white CARRIED nurses stand
ing at the entrance to one of the
bath rooms, They were watching a
closed door, behind which Mrs. Malt.
by lay suffering.
Judge Perkins went up to them
and spoke a few words, then he re-
turned to Joyce.
"They have called DIR. Albert, a
famous specialist in pneumonia
cases. He is holding a consultation
now with two of our Cleveland doc
tors"
"Will they know soon how she is
going to get along?" Joyce asked.
Il think So" the judge answered.
"Will you be able to stay here all
night?"
Il would like very much to-"
Joyce answered, quietly Mrs.
Maltby has been wonderfully good
to me and | am very, very fond of
her"
II think she really loves you"
Judge Perkins responded. "Will you
want anything for your puersonal
use from your own home? l can
send for it if you do"
Lets wait until we see how she
is; then I'll know what to send for, !"
said Joyce, resolving to remain here
even at the cost of her job until
Mrs. Maltby no longer wanted her
Presently a little procession of
three doctors came out of the closed
door. Their faces were grave and
they passed Immediately over to
where Judge Perkins was standing
1--WE feel that there is little hope
of her living through the night,
said one of them.
Joyce made a motion OF protest
The doctor looked at her keenly.
"Is this the young lady she is
asking for?" he said, smiling at her
youth, which cleaned in that dark
hallway.
This is Miss Joyce Daring. DR..
Raymond DR.. Albert, DR.. Johnson
She is a very dear friend of Mrs
Maltbys, almost the only personal
friend Mrs. Maltby has seen this
last year, since the death of her
SON" Judge Perkins answered.
The three men bowed and Joyce
ducked her head at them, wonder
ing a little iinpatiently that they
did not let her go in at once to Mrs.
Maltby.
Il think she may go in now" said
DIR. Raymond. you will of course
obey the orders of the nurse in
charge implicitly. l wish the patient
disturbed as little as possible.
"Oh, I'll be very quiet and do just
what you say" Joyce promised in a
hushed tone.
She went softly to the door of the
sick room and raped.
She heard a querulous voice say,
as the door was opened by the nurse,
who is there? Why don't you
come in? Nurse, open that door at
once"
The nurse stood back to let Joyce
in. Joyce went quickly to the side
of the high oldfashioned bed and
took Mrs. Maltby's hand.
II am so sorry you are sick" she
said.
WHO are your" came the quer.

depression took possession of her.
She looked up at the sound of
quick footsteps on the stair.
Mrs. Maltby is probably awake
and asking for me- she said, giving
Deke her hand, hurriedly.
Good night, JOY, girl" he said,
don't stay up too long. You need
sleep, you know"
She disappeared up the stair in
answer to the summons of one of
the nurses.
Mrs. Maltby is sinking rapidly, -
the nurse said. i've telephoned for
the doctor. Judge Perkins wants
you to go right in"
Her first glance at the sick woman
told her two things, first, that Mrs.
Maltby was worse, second, that she
was fully conscious and in Ter right

Judge Perkins inclined his head.

ZONE, MORE OLD VOCATION PASSES
WHEN AGED TOWN CRIER RETIRES

PROVINCETOWN, Mass P)-Town
crying lust doesn't pay the way it
used TO and so another ancient New
England vocation has passed into
history.
Walter t. Smith, last OF the Mas
sachusetts town criers, has put away
his cap and bell at the age Of IS.
Lanneness has bothered him, and hard
times have beSet the town crying
business in recent years.
Yet town crying once flourished in
this old community on Cape Cod.
Two or three criers trod the wooden
sidewalks as recently as 1900, when
Smith took up his calling. The clang
of their bells and the heralding Of
their announcements were as much
a part of village life as is reading the
newspapers today.
For small fee the criers would an
nounce steamer sailings, news of ship
wrecks, auctions of ships, gear or fur
niture, or advertise entertainments.
But of late business has been so poor
that Smith has made only $500 year.
In announcing his retirement the aged
exponent of dying vocation capitu-
lated to the newspaper, his modern
successor.
st put a notice in the paper so
they wouldn't bring me any more
work this summer" he explained.
i've done my last crying I'm used
up. Tt finally got my feet-those
concrete sidewalks and with my
game leg I can't be on the job any
more.

is done. 1t has been dying out for a

I'm the last one. It's too bad, but
there isn't any money in it. No one
will take it up. When had trouble
