Nan found her voir* then, and
ah* tnnrered meoherentiy:
“Yew—wy giove* , . .I—l nwt
here left nsy gloves—”
Lyrter walked ewer to the pap'-r
tf.rt'wri table and moved a heap of
magazine*.
“I don’t think they are here,” he
he «*>d, and at the sound of hi*
voice -the voice of which she had
been dreaming night and day fflg*
last the heard it—a nudd'-n faint
nemuame over Nan; th*. swayed a
little toward* the table, ehrteWng
H with both hand* to Mx-ady her
self,
Ehe could not bear it—ehe could
not! For an instant her nerve*
stampeded; all her natural compos
ure ff'd' If it had not been for the
presence of the iriri she knew she
must have finny herself at Lyrter’*
feet and implored him to remember
ho whe bad loved her how much
they had been to one another,
Wi'h a mighty effort she pulled
herself together; the girl turned
away and was lifting the cushion
from a big armchair in a friendly
attempt to find the gloves, butt
Lys<er stood quite rtill on the other
aide of the table, staring at Nan
with a puzzled sort of look in hi*
eyes.
“I’m sorry,” he said, “ I’m afraid
they’re not here I’m sorry,” he
said again, almost stupidly, and
broke off.
‘‘Tilings soon get picked up if
you leave them about,” the girl
said lightly. "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.
Lyster reached it before she did
. he opened it and held it for her;
his eves searched h< r face again is
passed out; when she hail gone he
st find for ft moment looking after
her before he turned hack into the
room.
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. "I did my best,

Hegave a tittle apologetic laugh.

Nan tried to understand, but her
brain fek like wood *be could on-1
ly think of Peter ar. she had seen I
him in that anguished moment
laughing with another girl.
He had nrA. forgotten how to
laugh! He had not forgotten how to ■
talk and amuse other women!—it]
wa* only she who loved the very ;
ground on which he walked, who
had l>een wiped out of his memory.
“But he hasn’t forgotten you—”
she said with sudden harshness. "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 |

“Mr. Arnott.” yhe said suddenly,
"Would you—if there was any

“1 give you my word of honor
that I would not.”
“Not form a mistaken sense of
honor—to try and spare me?”
"Miss Marraby, I promise."
, Nan Choked back a sob.
[ “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—

Leading or Following,
We Will Be There—
Count On U*—
It is not always the big
things that count most.
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.
