WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 23, 1925 One who l ordol By RUBY JT. AYRES ’T? i/o M’ <> H AT E D* NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY I know Nan tried to laugh but it was more like a sob “a dreadful photograph. I had taken last year on the sands at Margate.—that was before I ■ knew him—and the sun was in my eyes and my hair blow ing all over the place, but it was the only one I had, and so . . .” She stopped; with a desolating memory of the day she had given it to Lyster, and of how he had kissed It and put it away in his tunic when he said goodbye. “Yes,” said Arnott. “Yes, that was the one. It was there, with your letters. I wanted to show it to him, but the doctor wouldn’t allow it. He said it was no good forcing things—that I had better let him alone.He always got so excited we tried to make him remember anything.” “But my name,” Nan said eager ly. “Surely when you spoke my name to him—” “I don’t think * did speak it. I "think all I said was, hadn’t I better write and tell the girl in England?” He broke off a little dry sob had es caped Nan. “No. No,” she said as he paused. “Go on please.” I “He asked what I meant. He said that I knew that there was no body in England that he cared for. I remember that he had told me months before that he hadn’t a re lation in the world.” “Yes, I knew that,” Nan an swered. “He came from Vancouv er when the war broke out and joined his old regiment.” Arnott’s admiration of this girl was growing. She had grit, real •grist “What are you going to do?”he asked presently. “I—l hate to feel that—that I’ve had to bring this trouble to you. I’d give my right hand if I could undo it. . . .” “Perhaps I’d give a great deal "more than that,” she told him. “But it wouldn’t be any good. And—and all my letters?” Nan asked. “I have them I’ll send them back to you if you wish. “Yes. Then if you will, please let •me have them.” “I’ll bring them round tomor row.” They had reached the flat now, and Arnott stopped. “There’s one thing I wanted to ask you,” he said hesitatingly. “Os course you may not know anything about it, but . . . Lyster keeps on on asking about a signet ring of his apparently it was a great favorite. Something seemed to catch Nan by the throat, for a moment she could not answer. The ring that even lay against her heart! The ring he had given her because it had been his most treasured possession.—and he did not even remember having given it. “I thought perhans ,vou might know sofething about it,” Arnott said uneasily; he seemed to take her silence for negation. After a moment he held out his hand. “I will say good night then—l •may call tomorrow and bring your letters —” “Thank you.” He held her hand for a moment. “I think you’re a wonderful woman ,” he said simply. “I!” Nan laughed hoarsely. “Oh, I’m not really. If you could only see into my heart, you’d know how I’m crying and railing against fate —Goodnight.” she said, and. turning ffed into the house. t Arnott walked soberly away SUNOCRAPHy Learn it the right I i way and the less rzzzr t—• difficult way from J Sthe start and you Fl will find that your M services will be ap- LJ 2 preciated by em- T ployers.

His own opinion of women was not great years ago one had treate'd him badly, and more out of obstinacy than anything els? he had chosen to class the whole sex underone head ing ever since. Nan had shown shown him his mistake—Nan was not the sort of woman to let a man down; she had taken this blow like a hero—after the first staggering shock she had faced it unflinching ly; not a tear —not asign of fear —that was what filled Arnott with amazement. What would she do? He knew that the thought had been in her mind that Lyster had not genuinely 1 forgotten her—he knew that the doubt was there even now, though DOMESTIC JgjgM BREAD Extra Rich Bread I The Bread That Makes the Best Toast! You can’t toast in flavor that some baker left out. To make good toast, you must use bread that is naturally good. Domestic is the ideal toast bread, for it has a fine, even texture that quickly takes on a golden brown color, thus sealing in all the rich nutrition and natural flavor. It slices evenly without crumbling or tearing, and when toasted, is tender and flaky. Always ask for Domestic Bread—That makes the best toast. Remember, we bake every day and night, therefore, you always get fresh bread, etc. Your Grocer can supply you with Fresh Bread and Cakes every day.

Lyster was still in the reading rpom when he got back to the ho tel; but now he was alone,sitting in an armchair reading a paper. He looked up and stiffed a yawn. “Where on earth have you been?” he asked irritably. “I’ve looked for you everywhere—you’re a nice sort of a pal to go off and leave me to myself like this.” “I ran across a girl I know in the lounge after dinner. Rippling fine girl too—You’d like her, Peter. . ~ ” “Really!” Peter yawned again. Anybody I know?” Arnott shrugged his shoulders. “Couldn’t say, I’m sure —I may AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER have mentioned her to you. Nan 1 Marraby her name is. ' He was looking hard at Peter as asked this question, buut Peter seemed to have lost interest in the conversation, and had taken up a newspaper once more. It seemed ages to Joan Endicott before she heard Nan’s knock at the door. She was a sympathetic little soul and her heart ached for Nan, I even while she was cocnscious of a nameless dread in her heart with regard to her own future. She flew to the door when she heard the knock—she seized Nan with both hands and dragged her in. “Non” said John tremblingly. Nan looked up—there was no sign emotion in her face,only the a weary sort of pallor. “Well,’’she said in a hard voice, “I saw him—and he saw me—and —and that’s—all” she added slow ly, as if her mind was filled with a great wonder that it should be all, that there was nothing more to add, no continuation of the story that had begun so wonderfully. “All” Joan repeated. “But . . . but didn’t you speak? Didn’t he speak? Oh, Nan, surely he must have known you?” Nan shook her head. “No, he didn’t—l walked into the room. Mr. Arnott tried to keep me out—he did his best, butl wouldn’t take his advice ... I al most wish now that I had.” “It’s no use crying over spilt milk s hesaid harshly. “But it was like—it was like dying to stand stand there, and look at him, and know that I was no more to him than anybody else in the world— not so much even as the little—doll —he was talking to! Oh. yes—’’she added recklessly. “He wasn’t alone. There was a girl in the room with him when I walked into the room. I suppose that was partly why Mr. Arnott tried to keep me out. She was quite a nice little thing—pret ty—but I felt as if I could—could have killed her!” “And you spoke to him —Nan—■ what did you say?” “I said I had come for my gloves —I had left them there—it was a lie, of course—l’d never been in the room before. They both helped me look for them—they moved moved cushions and things—just to J get rid of me I suppose—l was in the way—they didn’t me there spoiling sport!” Joan watched her with fascinat- fTHE RADIO YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR Model 400 Model 305—5115.00 Reproducer, $25.00 Without Accetsoriet Night after night of real, genuine enjoyment, and trouble-free service— that’s what Stewart-Warner Radio means to you!

ROAD DATA IS BEING COMPILED Constitution’s New Route Folder Will Show Americus On Route Florida The road bureau of the Atlanta I Constitution has begun compilation i of road data for their new route I folder from Atlanta to and through-1 out Florida. This folder will show the route | via Americus and through the 1 means of free distribution at The I Constitution’s road bureau, filling I stations, hotels, garages, chambers of commerce and other sources! along the route, will reach practi-j cally every tourist traveling from | the middle western states to Fiori-I da this season. According to O. J. Willoughby, editor of the highway of the Coni stitution, an effort will be made to place in thi sfolder such data as will be valuable in “selling” the various Georgia communities to tourists. The expense of logging the va rious routes through Georgia will be borne by The Constitution, but the matter of special data for each community will be left with some organization or persons in each each county. The space reqquired for this data will be made available at very nominal charge. According to Mr. Willoughby who has just completed a logging trip form Canada as far south as Atlanta, trough Kentucky and Tennessee, there are two good routes and one excellent route that will bring through the entire length of Georgia this year an almost end less stream of tourists and many STOP FLIRTING NOW ON SALE t Price Per Copy 35c THOS.
