“Miss Marraby told me you were
home,”
“Did she?” Peter knit his brows
“Odd that you should know her,
too," he said, rather constrainedly.
“She’s a friend of Arnott’s, you
konw—seems rather a nice sort of
girl.” '
Sefton stared; for a moment he
thought he could not have heard
aright.
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

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.

Takes the Place of
Drastic Calomel
“Pepsinated” Calomel Acts Better —Does
Not Cramp or Sicken Yet Is More
Effective Than Ordinary Calomel
Never take another dose of the
old stye “raw” calomel. 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.
