THURSDAY SEPT. 25, 1925 One w/io Forgot By RUBY M, AYRES M Nan tried to smile. Tney had room ' planned meh a time when he sot his leave; his, last letter to her be fore he was wounded had been full of all that he meant to do when he eame home—one sentence he had written seemed to leap out of the past and stare at her. We’ll spend our honeymoon in London, I think, Nan. There are such lots of places I haven't seen and I shall love doing the round of the shopes with you and buying you lots of things, I suppose you know that you haven’t got a proper en gagement ring yet, madam? That’s the first thing we’ll do the morning after I get home—go and choose a ring. . . .” And now he was home, and he had forgotten her. He was quite content to go the round of the shops with John Arnot instead. She went to the door with Arnott and bade him goodby. ‘But I shall see you again, shan’t I?” he asked anxiously. “We shan’t be going down to my sister’s just yet. I hope you will let me see you again.” Nan answered that she would be very pleased. At the back of her mind she was wondering if she dar-' ®d ask Arnott where he and Peter were going that morning—if she ■dard go in the same direction her self, in the hope of meeting them. Ts she colud just see Peter, just watch bim from a distance, it would be ■something. She shook hands with Ams It mechanically. A telegram boy ran up the steps as they stood there. He handed Nan a telegram. “Name of Endicott?” he said la conically. “For Joan,” said Nan. A little pang of envy went through her heart. Once the sight of a telegram set all her pulses racing, but now she cared less than nothing. She bade Arnott ahasty “goodby” and Went in to find her friend. Joan was only just dressing. She looked very frail and childish stand ing there with her hair tumbling about her shoulders. Nan spoke to her gently. “A telegram, dear,” she said. Joan turned sharply, her face chalk-white. She dropped her brush with a clatter. “For me? Oh. Nan, you open it— I’m so afraid!” Nan laughed—she tore open the envelope carelessly, and drew out the message. "Home on Fridav, five days' leave —Tim.” She read the message aloud. Joan gave a little hysterica! scream. “I don’t believe it—you’re teas ing me ... I just don’t believe it.” She snatched the paper from Nan read it and burst into tears. “Oh, it’s just too wonderful—l’m ao happy . . . Oh, Nan, you must hurry up and finish that pink blouse for me.” Nan walked out of the room without answering; she did not mean to be unkind or unsympathet ic, but her heart felt like a stone. She passed Joan’s room and went into the little sitting room where the small bundle of letters returned to her by Arnott still lay on the ta ble. She picked them up and held them mechanically. It was quite time now she woke up, she was tell? ing herself. “I’ve had dreams like this before —not quite as bad, per haps,but still very bad” Then steps sounded along the passage outside, and Joan came in- BILIOUSNESS Retired Minister Teßs Hew He Keeps in Good Form With the Assistance of BlackDranghL West Graham, Va. —The Rav. Lewis Evans, a well-known retired minister, now past SO, living here, has a high opinion of Black- Draught, which he says he has taken when needed, for 25 years, “For years I had been suffering with my liver," he says. “Some times the pain would be very in tense and my back would hurt all the time. Black-Draught was the first thing I found that would give me any relief. “My liver has always been slug gish. Sometimes it gives me a lot of trouble. I have suffered a lot with it —pains in my side and back, and bad headache, caused from ex treme biliousness. “After I found Black-Draught, I would begin to take it as soon as I felt a spell coming on and it re lieved the cause at once. I can recommend it to anybody suffer ing from liver trouble. A dose or two now and then keeps me in good form.” Made from selected medicinal roots and herbs, and containing no dangerous mineral drugs, Black- Draught is nature's own remedy for a tired, lazy liver. NC-166 “I hope you won’t think me so very horrid,” Joan said, in a sort of whisper. But, of course when Tim comes home he’ll want me all to himself—has said so so many, times, and I was wondering—you won’t be hurt Nan? I was won dering if youd mind going away for just those few days?” Nan did ont answer. You could go home for just a few days couldn’t you?” or to some friends—l’m sure ' you won’t mind my asking you, but” She looked up anxiously. “Are you an gry Nan?” “No,” said Nan, she gave a queer little laugh. “As you say, I can go home . . . or—or to some friends,” and the thought of John Arnott’s embarrassed invitation crossed her weary mind. Joan gave a little sigh of relief. “I was sure you would if I asked you she said. “It was the first thought that came into my head after I read Tim’s telegram. I’ve been without him so long and we used to be so happy herejust by ourselves. Nan said yes, but she felt cu riously hurt that Joan should be so anxious to get rid of her. “I should have offered to go, any way,” she said, with a touch of dig nity. “I quite understand how you feel. But the tears smarted in her eyes as she went to her own room with her little parcel'of letters. Home had never been to Nan since her mother died and her father again. That was years ago now; Nan had been a small child of nine then, but she could remember a® if it were yesterday, the night when STOP FLIRTING NOW ON SALE Price Per Copy’ 35c THOS. L. BELL, Inc.

For ten years she had been 1 , forced to stand it; ten years during! which three small stepbrothers ap-' peared to add to her burdens, and push her more and more out of fa vor, till at last she had begged her father to allow her to leave home. So Nan went to London with nothing with 10 pounds and her own pluck to help her, and for a I whole week she sat in the bed Fit ting room which she had taken in j [an unattractive suburb and an-1 swe red advertisements and tramped to and for from agents’ offices. And then one day she answered an advertisement for the post of companion to a delicate lady and got it. The delicate lady proved to be one of the few women who did not I treat a companion as someone to be; treated not quite so well as a ser vant, and Nan stayed with her for two years. Happy years they were, of une- [ ventful not at all exciting, mo notony, but it was better than be-j ing at home. Nobody ever spoke un kindly to her or made her feel that! she was not wanted, ad it was sa real grief to Nan when one morn-’ I ing she went to Miss Lyster’s room as usual to wake her, and found that the little lady had died in [ her sleep. Mr. Rook, Miss Lyster’s solicitor j came ad went and was nice to Nan in his dry sort of way. “You’d better stay on for the present ,my dear young lady,” he said. “It’s impossible to make final arrangements until I hear from Miss Lyster’s nephew. Yes, there ; is a nephew , as, of course, you know.—” “You will find that wou have not .been forgotten." Mr. Rook told her gently, and later, when Miss Ly ter’s will was read, Nan found that j [she had been left a sufficiently large amount to bring her in sixty AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER New Envoy . ■ ‘V ■ f Charles MacVeagh, New York lawyer, has been named by Presi dent Coolidge as American ambas saoor to Japan.
