A nice sort of girl! And only a few months ago Peter and Nan Marraby had been engaged! For th© moment he could think of nothing to say—then all at once the truth flashed across his mind. If Peter had so completely for gotten him—Sefton—he must also have forgotten Nan Marraby. Was this, then, the meaning of that little tremble in her voice when she had asked him never to speak of her to Lyster? Sefton called at the Marraby’s the following afternoon; as he stood waiting at the door, which i was open to admit the fresh spring air, Nan crossed the hall. She wore a big overall, and her sleeves were rolled up, showing her firm white arms. She stopped short when she saw , Sefton in the doorway. 1 “I suppose that I may as well ad-I mit that I’m fairly caught.” shelf said. 1 She did not offer her hand to*] Sefton, but he took it and pressed t her fingers warmly. [ t “You look the ideal English wo- j man,” he said. Nan shook her head. I { “If you mean by that that I| look domesticated, you’re quite I j wrong,” she told him airily. “I hate, housekeeping and baking, and r dusting, and all those goody-goody , jobs.” i He found himself very curious £ concerning, the girl. After what Lyster had told him yesterday it £ seemed quite likely that there was < some hidden tragedy between them. t of which Nan would never sepak, and of which Peter was not aware. , It was largely curiosity on the sub- i ject which had forced his visit to- • day. “You are not going to send me away, are you?” he asked her, anx- I iously. She had not asked him to 1 come in, and there was a sort of stiffness in her bearing that seem ed to suggest that he should cut his visit short. “Certainly—do come in,” she said, but her words were not ouite cordial. “You want to see father. I suppose?” Sefton met her eyes smilingly, “No. not particular,” he said. “Why?” There was a sort of animosity in i her regard . “You came to see him yesterday,’ she said, and you must have known never told me that you knew him.” that I was his daughter, but you Sefton changed color a little. “Your father and I are business acquaintances, that is all.’ he said. “You might have told me. all the same,” she protested, “It would have been a natural thing to do. However, please—come in.” She purposely led him into the kitchen; she was not going to nut herself out in the least for this man. “Miss Marrabv, why don’t you like me?” . , A little flush flickered into Nan s pale cheeks. “How do you know that 1 don t like you?” she asked. “I remember his shoulders. “I remember suspecting it t '.at — Georgia-Alabama Business College At Macon, Ga.. this institution has been in operation for thirty-five years. It has trained and placed in positions with first class business houses approximately twenty-five thousand boys and girls, men and women. Its students range from 18 to -15 years in age. Some are wid ows with the family burden sudden ly failing upon them, some are of families, who found ' a -' inline that the untrained man has *.y.\qual chance in the ,«»ruggle ’orj Success. The boys and gn’ls are being prepared before life’s bur dens fall up them. The college has made a national reputation through its methods and the suc cess of its graduates. It has often been able to boast that not a grad uate was without employment. It trains private secretaries, book keepers, stenographers, bank clerks, secretary-treasurers, and Linotype and Intertype operators. Its course; is nationally accredited, which means that nothing better can be had in a school of this kind. Three firms this year placed an order for every diploma winner that the busi ness department could graduate. Write for catalog.

Mr. Lyster is doing the same thing.” ( she added flippantly. She hardly knew what she was saying—she met • Sefton’s eyes desperately. For a moment there was a little pause, then she said: | “I—wonder!” There was a short | pause between the two words. ' Nan turned sharply away; she felt as if she could have struck him. she put up her hand almost uncon -ciously and felt for Peter’s ring which she wore beneath her frock. 1 “That’s not a very polite thing to say to me is it?” she asked; she was surprised at her own calmness. “You know I was once engaged to Mr. Lyster. Fortunately, our en- I gagement was broken off before this happened.,” she added. | It was a deliberate lie, but she felt as if she must say something to protect Peter. | I “I hate this man she was saying In her heart. “I hate him, and I don’t know why.

It is too drastic on your system! There is a newer and more im proved kind that is mild and pleas ant. It does not tear through your system like a streak of lightning. It is combined with pepsin which makes it act slowly, thoroughly and more effectively. This new pepsin and calomel com bination is known as “pepsinated” calomel. It has all the beneficial system cleaning and germ inactivat ing effects of ordinary or “raw” calomel—but the drastic and un pleasant effects have been entirely neutralized by the digestion aiding pepsin. Nasty “follow up salts” are not even necessary. CHOKER BEADS We! 'ave on display a large assortment of Fail cfvles in Choker Beads. Prices from $1.25t0 $15.00. THOS. L. BELL, Inc.

One tablet at bed time lets you rest well all night long and yet while sleep it slowly and effectively drives out the poisons that are re sponsible for your illness and suf fering. Hereafter when you buy calomel, always demand the “pep-si-na-ted” kind. It is betted for you. for it is purer, milder and more beneficial to your entire system.
