asked.
VERY gladly" the Judge an
swered.
Mr.. Deacon inclined his head.
There's one more thing" Joyce
said, speaking with her head held
high and looking straight at Mr..
Deacon. Judge Perkins is my
agent in the matter of the money 1
inherited from Mrs. Maltby, it is my
wish that hundred thousand dol
lars of that be used at once to pur-
chase stock in the Deacon Chemical
Plant"
"Hurrah! Frankly shouted you
can't turn that down. Why, didn't
I remember that you could buy
stock in this concern"
Judge Perkins was laughing. and
after a moment Mr.. Deacon joined
in.
Presently he spoke to Joyce with
a twinkle in his eye. There isn't
quite that much stock for sale" he
said taking her hand and adding,
my daughter. But there is large
block on the market, all the Deland
interests have been withdrawn, and
Judge Perkins can purchase all that
is for sale at present for you. The
balance of the hundred thousand
dollars I will be glad to borrow
from my sons wife"
He rose and kissed Joyce. Frankly
cried, and Judge Perkins blew his
nose very hard
Presently they left for the mar
rage license bureau. Their business
dispatched there they all returned to
the hospital and Joyce took Mrs.
Deacon to a small ante room and told
her what she wished to do.
II want to be Deke's wife" she
said. I'VE love each other and no
matter what happens we belong to
each other, 1 have the license here.

that he thinks he's going to be

the Deacons needs is some money

That's the girl Frankly said.
Il can give you the low down on
things at the factory. Judge Per
kins has been trying to get Mr.. Dea-
con to borrow some money from him
ever since Deke's father got back.
But old Mr.. Deacon won't borrow
it because Deke says not to. Now IL
you can make them believe that
Deke is willing for you to invest
money in the Chemical Plant, why
it. easy"
They went up the steps of the
factory together and were admitted
to Mr.. Deacon's private office.
He shook hands warmly with
Joyce and inquired after his son.
Judge Perkins took joys hand and
I'm glad to see you, my dear"
he said.
Both men looked tired. They had
been arguing for four hours over the
course to pursue. Judge Perkins
hoped desperately that Joyce had
come to offer them the money they
needed to carry the plant on to a
successful development of Deke's
reorganization policy, though he did
not see how Joyce could persuade
Dekes father to take the money.
Now Joyce was smiling at him.
a confident smile, full of youth and
hope.
Tell me-" she said, Can you

Judge all looked at her in intense
surprise.

queries. They seemed prosaic
settings Of that ridden
place.
At precisely 1870 a. M, almost two
days before, Roger Brooks, popular
owner and publisher Of the Catawa-
ba City Times and chain of nine
other daily newspapers, had left his
office, supposedly to go to lunch.
When the hands of the tiny clock
IN his desk pointed to four and he
had not returned, his secretary, Jane
Dexter, had begun to get uneasy.
Slowly the day dragged along. It's
end still found Roger Brooks absent.
Telephone calls to his home brought
no response save that he had COM
municated with ne one there since
his departure that morning. So far
as any member of his family knew
he was still at his office.
BY o'clock that night everyone
on the staff of the Catawaba City
Times was stirred with premonotory
misgivings. When the dawn of an
otherday broke and found the pub
Usher still missing the same chill
forebodings gripped the hearts of his
family and his friends.
Roger Brooks interest lay not
alone in the advertising department
that visibly producing end Of a news
paper so attractive to most owners.
1t was the editorial departments that
held him. His was the brain and will
that dominated the functioning of
that department. 1t was this mott
waiting force of his mighty machine
that was the particular love Of Roger
Brooks.
Now at the eerie hour thre of his
faithful staff were waiting for some
news of him. Each felt the poignant
righteousness of the time-honored
phrase, mo news is good news"
For more than 10 years Donald
Keene, most Intimate friend of
Roger Brooks. had watched over
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-05-10

and looked around into the face Of
Donald Keene literary editor of the
Times. Standing close by, her pale
face and tense attitude betraying the
anxiety that was gripping her young
heart, was the missing publishers
daughter.
Diana Brooks had often been
called the most beautiful girl in Ca
tawba City. And beautiful she was
even there under a harsh incandes-
cent lamp at o'clock in the morn
ing and under conditions scarcely cal
culated to show a woman at her best.
In height she was just a trifle
above the average. Juno-l1ke, slim
and round and 1.-the as a young will

We'll. it's just about as Teddy
surmised last night" Donald keene

uosture on the long table and reach

tically sure of it now
He shot a swift glance at the big
clock on the opposite wall. 1t was.
just 3:15 a. m.
about 40 minutes ago" he COLI
tinued. Diana got a telephone call
It was from n woman she had be-
friended recently. This woman, 1t
seems, is the wife of a convict oc
ex convict and well known crook.
But she is capable, evidently, OF ap-
preciating kindness. According to
what she told Diana over tn wire
she overheard a conversation last
night between her husband and a pal
of his in which they mentioned hav-
ing been hired by somebody to kid
nap Diana's father. During the talk
he mentioned tn house, she told
Diana, where Mr.. Brooks was being
held temporarily. But while she her
self knows where this house is To-
Gated, she couldn't describe tn loca-
ton over tn phone. But she could,

where she could point out tn house
