"I expect they’ve been pinched. l ' Nan supposed she must have an swcreil something, but she never konw what she said; her one long ing was to get out of the room be fore she broke down; she turned blindly to the door.

Arnott wan waiting on the other side of the lounge. lie took her hand and, drawing it through his arm, led her out of the hotel. She walked quite firmly and steadily, and he glanced nt her cu riously in the light of a street lainn. So there was to be no scene! lie was faintly amazed; almost any other woman in the world would have fainted, or broken down, he told himself with a vague folding of discomfort; when they had gone some way ho asked her if she would like a taxi. “Its a good way back to your ffat,” he sniil "And if you feel tired ■” Rhe laughed. "Tired I I don’t think T will ever feel anything again,” she said. • *‘l wish you had not seen him.” Arnott stammered.

"He hasn’t forgotten you, I suppose.” "No,” said Arnott reluctantly. ’“But then you see I’ve been with, ’ io much that even if he had forgot- | ten me, I should have created a | ■ fresh place for myself in his mind, if you understand what I mean.

[ “Thank you,” she said. “And now I wonder if you will be very kind and promise me something else?" "If I can . . .” She gave a little weary laugh. “Oh, you can—if you will— . never apeak of me to to Peter.

"I’d rather not it’s no good—be i didn’t know what he wan aaying— you've got to remember that—and J know you’ll find it. difficult.” “I ahall only find it difficult If you try and hide anything from me," she said steadily. “Please “I told you that I found your let tcra,” he said nt last. “Os course, I’d beard about you from Lyster— there waa a photograph he showed me. . .

The widow’s mite long has stood as the best ex ample of sacrifice in giv ing. The man who gives mil lions and has other mil lions besides makes no sacrifice, but the sala ried man who donates a few dollars, when he and his family are fight ing to make ends meet, has done a BIG thing and deserves a rich re ward here and hereaft- er. lhere are some who may give largely of their time; others whose daily task is so exacting that only an hour here or a few minutes there can be given to commu nity work but each of us may give something. We of Americus and Sumter county are en gaged now in the gigan tic task of rebuilding and pushing forward in the march of progress. Every man is needed. There is a job for each of us and there s no one b-.t YOU to do YOUR job. In this larger scheme of community develop ment the Palladium club members will be found carrying their share of the load. They believe in Ameri cus; they believe in their county; at times they are taking the lead; but when others lead, the Palladium will be found willing and ready to follow. Whatever is good for this community is good for the Palladium club, and its members will be found ready and willing to do.
