CHAPTER XXXIX.
GOING HOME.
THE circle was closing. Once again
the kaleidoscope was falling
into the Old pattern. Colored
glass . . . crumbling . . - shift
ing. . . .
The jade and gilt and ultramarines
of the Orient turning slowly to the neu
tral tints of Riverton.
At Bordeaux they took a steamer .or
New York. Shortly after Roger's death
Joyce and Kitty had had a serious little
talk It was brought about when Joyce
discovered that Kitty was making plans
for entering some hospital when they
arrived in the States.
•'Kitty—you aren't thinking of leav
ing me!”
“But there's no further need of me
now, Joy. It was different when you
needed a nurse on the job. But now
—well, you just don't need me."
“I never needed you worse than I di
now, Kitty-” Joyce's voice broke.
“You’re my only friend-”
“I'll always be that. Joyce—a friend.
But I have to feel Im earning my own
way.”
"But everything will be the same.
There's so much money—anything you
want. Kitty—Roger would want it that
way."
“You can't pay a person for just be
ing a friend-Kitty's sturdy inde
pendence would not be downed.
“Oh. Kitty. Kitty—don't leave me
. . Joyce broke down and cried. "I
feel so alone. . . .”
For a moment Kitty stood, looking at
the slender shaking figure. Joyce was
in a dress of dull moss green crepe. She
had refused to consider mourning
Roger loved color. . . She wore color
for his memory now. Kitty noticed how
thin she had grown. There was an
ethereal quality of her beauty, a tinge
of wistfulness.
Finally, after an inward struggle, “ITi
tell you. Joy, I'll go if you'll let me act
as your maid. I’ve got to feel that I'm
earning my way-”
The girl made a little helpless ges
ture. “Say my companion. Kitty. You
can be that to the world. To me you're
the only true friend I’ve ever known.’’
They were knowm as that on the
steamer which took them to America.
Young Mrs. Cameron and her compan
ion. Miss Dawson. And one pair of
eyes saw it on the list of passengers
and came beaming to renew old ac
quaintance—Joyce was both surprised
and dismayed to find herself confronted
with the stocky figure and sandy mus- ;
tache of Dr. McManus.
Mrs. Cameron—wnat a aeugnuui
surprise to find you are sailing with
us!1' He flashed his glasses at her in
a w»y which she remembered as char
acteristic. “So sorry to learn about Mr.
Carr eron . . . foregone conclusion
though, of course—marvel he kept go
ing so long. . . . Ah„ well—and Miss
Dawson! A real pleasure-"
The doctor’s beam at Kitty was a bit
artificial. They had clashed several
times on their last acquaintance.
“What a surprise to find you here
on this ship, doctor," said Joyce. “When
did you leave the Neptune?”
“The R. & N. Steamship Line was
sold a couple of months ago. I trans
ferred to this one.”
“Oh . . . and—and Capt. Nevers,
Where did he-"
"The captain retired. He’d been
meaning to do that for a couple of
veers, you know. He is living with his
nr’riied daughter in Yokonama. . . .”
“An’ Mr. K<uth-” said Kitty i
bluntly, asking the question that she
kn"v. v a; faltering in Joyce’s mind.
• What became of him?”
A stiffness in the doctor's pudgy
f gore at th" mention of his old enemy.
“Mr. Ke.th left the line several months
befo e it was sold. He said something
rbeu* ging into stock raising—cr rais
ing thoroughbred horses or some such
thirc—there was a friend of his—beefy
old Englishman came down to see him
set err 1 times when we docked in San
Francisco w ho did a lot of talking about
a stock range—I didn't listen. Per
sona'ly. I believe the Honorable Jim was
asked to resign—not that I'd want that
to go any further or to be quoted, you
know . . . but it wouldn’t surprise me
if that wasn’t the reason why he quit.
A fool about women-”
"Now the Lord give me strength-"
said Kitty piously after the doctor had
left, following his tubby shadow down
the white scoured deck, "to keep from
steppin' on that little shrimp! If there’s
anything I can't stand it’s a he gossip!”
“You asked him!" said Joyce, her
cool voice ghing no sign of the way
her heart was pounding at the sound
of Jim Keith's name.
“I asked him for his news!-’ said
Kitty wrathfully. "not for his nasty
imagination!" She snorted and fluttered
the pages of a magazine viciously, still
loyal to her friendship for Jim.
He had gone . . . disappeared into
the world . . thought Joyce, as she lay
motionless in her steamer chair and
pretended to be asleep. Would she
ever see him again ... or was that the
end—that erect dark figure sailing away
into the sunset. . . .
Empty sky and empty blue ocean. And I
empty heart . . . She turned her hf3d
and surreptitiously smudged a tear oft
her lashes.
Strange to be in America ... to hear
English spoken all about her again. She j
was heme. . . . She wondered why she '
did not feel happier. . . .
It was the middle of Summer and
people wore a white and wilted look.
Weariness overspread Joyce's heart. She
was mortally tired . . . She dreaded
the train joumev to Riverton. Above
all. dreaded the trip alone, hated to ar
rive at the old Cameron House without
the comforting support of Kitty. But ;
Kitty was spending a short vacation
with her married sister, whom she had
not seen for years.
Alter Roger s aeain Joyce naa wrincu ,
lo Cora Cameron, briefly, but in a
friendly manner. She had received no
reply. Now, before the train left she
sent a wire to the Riverton house an
nouncing the day and hour when she
would arrive.
Miles . . . spinning underfoot . . .
hurrying on—to what ? The circle was
closing—she was returning to River
ton again. Returning as Mrs. Roger
Cameron, widow of the town's richest I
man. Five years . . . bound to Riverton
for five years. In what way was old
Roger’s last command to affect her life?
A dead hand tangling the skeins. . . .
She shivered as she sat staring out into
the night.
She seemed to bear the curse of
Midas, thought Joyce drearily. All
things lovely and natural shriveled and
passed away under her hand.
Her romance with Norman ... a
mirage. Jim Keith—the only man to
touch her heart—had been swallowed by
the world. Roger had been swallowed
by the grave. There was only Kitty—
! How she longed for Kitty’s comforting
1 presence now. . . .
She shook off the morbid thoughts
by an effort of will. She went to bed.
Another day. Another night. She
reached Riverton. The freight sheds
sliding slower—slower—as the train
drew in Great dark bulks in the twi
light. But the lighted station was
strange and new'. Self-conscious and
aggressive in concrete, whereas the old
one had been shabby and wooden.
A queer little sense of forlornness
crept over Joyce as she dismounted and
waited while the porter lifted out her
grips She. who had become accus
tomed to half the custom houses of the
world, was abashed here in this country
town depot.
She had the strange sense of having
dreamed that other life when a red
headed girl had lived in this town.
Returning as Mrs. Roper Cameron,
widow of the town's richest man._
Shanghai. Bombay, Venice, Paris seem
ed so much nearer. . . .
No machine waited at the station. So,
Cora Cameron had not thought to send
a car for her . . . Joyce bit her lip. It
seemed an omen—and not a happy
one.
She signaled to the rather rusty au
tomobile which bore the sign "Taxi
cab'' on its windshield and ordered the
driver to put her grips inside.

A Gentle Laxative
Pluto Water, taken as
directed below, is a
gentle, effective laxa
tive — non-irritating—
non-habit-formin*.
Recommended by phy
sicians everywhere.
Start now to cleanse
your system of ksthesis
— Ms glass of Pluto
Water in 4k glass of
hot water-each morn
ing for ten days. Then
tske PlutoWater every
Sunday morning.
PLUTO
WATER
America’e Laxative Mineral Water
ENDS ♦ ASTHENIA—the want or Iota
of strength...debility..-diminution of the
vital forces—often due Co intestinal mi
cro-organisms. Pluto Water corrects this
condition in almost every instance. If
after taking Pluto Water for ten days
your condition i* not entirely corrected,
\ sec your physician immediately.
Pluto Water is bottled and sealed at
FRENCH LICK SPRINGS HOTEL
French Lick, Indiana
8ocletyte Greatest Health Resort
People coming here from all over the world to enjoy the health-restoring prop
erties of Pluto Water have built it into an internationally famous institution.
ft’s
ASTHENIA
HE used to be the one who always
wanted to “go places and do things’’
...kept urging you to hurry through
dinner so you could be off together to tne
movies, a show or a dance.
With what zestful anticipation you used
to look forward to your delightful eve
nings together ... to those enchanting
hours of recreation that brought the long
day’s separation to an end.
But how he has changed! Now—how
you dread the tedium of drab evenings!
Strange as it may seem, you yourself
have been partially at fault —without
realizing it
You’ve let him grow old—feeling, no
doubt that you were powerless to pre
vent it.
But you’re not! You can restore his
former vigor... his eager vitality... his
spirit... his enthusiasm.. .his pep! Do it
naturally, too ... in 10 days’ time... and
with no more than a minute a day of his
cooperation.
* • *
Would it surprise you to know that he
... like thousands of other busy men ...
is a victim of Asthenia?* That his present
apathy is caused by faulty elimination?
“But how is that possible?” you ask.
“He’s as regular as can be!”
Unfortunately, it is easily possible —if
his daily elimination is not complete.
Poisons accumulate gradually—bred by
millions of micro-organisms in the diges
tive tract. Little by little these poisons
seep into the blood stream. Then comes
that half-alive feeling —the condition
known to science as Asthenia. *
That’s what’s robbing him of his former
zest and depriving you of those cherished
joys and pleasures.
Would you like to know how to restore
his former vigor... make him eager once
more to participate in the pleasures which
used to mean so much to both of you?
Get him to take Pluto Water before
breakfast every morning for ten morn
ings. Don’t let him miss a morning for
ten days straight! You’ll be amazed how
this gentle, simple treatment will restore
his old-time vim. He’ll begin to feel as
if he were “walking on air. ’
After that—have him take Pluto Water
every Sunday morning regularly and he’ll
be rid of this insidious blight
Incidentally, you might try the treat
ment yourself. You’ll find It just what
you need to tone up your system.
Pluto Water comes in two sizes—20c
and 46c —at all drug counters; on trains,
steamships; and at hotels.
