did not attempt to go up with her,
but wished her good night and
turned homeward at once. He hard
ly dared confess even to himself how
dark his own prospects for the year
were. Now he must go back and
spend the few hours that remained
bucking up his fathers hopes and
seeing that his mother left with
no inkling of the difficult state of
affairs at the Deacon Chemical
plant.
Joyce went up to her flat sobered
too, by the air of departure and
change that hung over the Deacon
home. More than ever she wished
that she might open her door to find
her father and mother waiting for
her in the living room. Some one
had thrust n message under the
door
She picked it up, her heart beating
fast.
Inside the envelope was a hun
dred dollar bill Around it was folded
a thin strip of paper.

There was no name.
But the writing was her mothers.

CHAPTER XXXVI
A Voice From the Past

Christmas day dawned cold and
clear and lonely for Joyce.
There was a little pile of pack
ages for her. She had kept them
all until this morning, hoping to
lessen the heartache of her first
Christmas alone by opening them.
Now that the moment for inspecting
them was actually here, she hest
tated before beginning the work of
unwrapping them.
christmas is surely home
time" she thought.
The first box she opened was
from her father. 1t was character
istic, a small exquisitely bound
Bible. There was a purple silk
marker in it and she opened the
back to find some verses marked
by her fathers heavy pencil.
"Who can find virtuous woman.
FOR her price is far above riches?"
Favor is deceitful and beauty is
vain; but a woman that feareth the
Lord, she shall be praised"
Joyce felt the tears come into her
eyes. How firmly her father be-
Iieved this. How strong comfort
his faith was to him. How glad.
how very glad she might be that her
own price was still far above rubies.
"a virtuous woman" she half wills
pered to herself, then turned to the
fly leaf of the book on which was
written in the strong, firm hand she
knew so well, ITO my daughter,
Joyce, on the first and only Christ
mas she will ever spend alone. May
the Lord keep watch over her. John
Daring"
The tears spilled down Joyce's
cheeks and onto the book How
much, how very much she did want
her home. She found herself pray
ing, "Please, God, another year"
The second package was from
Deke and contained large box of
heavy linen letter paper. 81 bought

A third package held small gold
fountain pen from Deke's father and
mother. Frankly had sent a set OF
exquisite French handmade under
wear that made Joyce squeal with
delight and then whistle to herself
"I'll keep this for my trousseau-
