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.

opinion of women was not great

badly, and more out of obstinacy
than anything els? he had chosen to
class the whole sex underone head

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

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.

Bread and Cakes every day.

she had seen him, and for the first
time the suspicion seemed to drive
a wedge into his own mind.
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

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

didn’t fall down dead, but I sup

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

plans for placing the advantages of
their sections before these tourists.
And according to a letter re
ceived The Constitution isanxious
to have Americus and all other pro
gressive cities along the routes to
be logged, represented in their fold

free distribution in Georgia and
Florida of 100,000 copies during
the next year.
