Personal Pride a Factor Personal prido in achievement is also coming to the front. No can didate wants to lose after going : this far, and it is certain *hat they I wil Itake care to poll a sufficient , number of votes before 9 o’clock tonight to put them where they , want to be. There is a merry war on today in all districts. In some quarters it is I fast and furious. In one or two I cases more is at stake than the mere , (winning of an automobile. We, never saw such campaigning such ! determination and such spirit. One, i candidate last night said “I’ve just (got to win, that’s all there is to it. I I'ou don’t know what his means to (me.’’ Interest High and Keen . [ It’s a tustle today, a tug-o-war 1 ' and the interest is growing keener' (every hour. In the past few days—' ,tnis present week—there has been 1 I a revival of interest which is al-1 I most unexplainable. It Is proba- 1 i ble that today’s voting will see I [scores augumented, doubled and' trebled in some ;, by candidates' land their friends, who are getting! I into the fray, anxious to do their ■ (“bit” so that their favorite candi-' date will not alone win the car in 1 his or her district but will pluck the I, biggest of the cars. Tonight at 9 o’clock is the finall hour to get the maximum number 1 , of votes for every subscription pro-1 duced. At last candidates are real-' izing that we mean what we say j when we ceil them this campaign is I being conducted on a “decreasing”' schedule and not on the antiquated i “increasing” schedule idea. One I candidate yesterday afternoon, told: the circulation campaign manager/ “I wish I had known before what I, know now. I sure would have had I a lot more votes.” This candidate, i smehow, had it so firmly fixed in 1 her mind that the schedule wasn’t i as it appeared and that subscrip-1 tions would be worth more towards, I the close, that it has taken a great! deal to convince her. Friends told | her to hold off until the last, and I I she seemed to listen to them. I Friends are a valuable asset when i ; they are right but a mighty mater-i [ial handicap when they are wrong.

Then he told her; he blurted out tlie truth with the desperation of necessity. “I’m Peter Lyster.” “Peter Lyster!” she echoed his name with a little cry—the color fuched to her face. “Peter!—then . . . then . . . oh, I don’t believe it,” she said indignantly. “It’s the truth—l swear it’s the truth . . . look I—can show you half a dozen letters to prove it.” He searched through his tunic pocket ( agitatedly. “I am Peter—you— you’ve done me the greatest kind-j ness one human being could have done to another by telling me what —what you did just now. But I want to know more—l must know all the truth. . . . I’ve been down at Leavenden—l only came up to town [this morning—it was Fate that i threw us together.

But it’s all so strange ) —I just can’t believe it. .. .” Her i brows puckered. "If you’ve forgot ten things,” she said in prepTexity, j“how is it you can talk about Nan. now?

I don’t want her to know i yet— n He broke off. I For a moment his heart seemed to stand still as he thought of Nan’s ngagement. Had she done this because of I, him? The train started slowly out of the station. | “Tell me who you are.’’ Peter said. i She smiled. “I’m Joan Endicott. Nan and I,' have lived together for ever so longj —ever since you and Tim went to I [the war; she must have told you a-[ bout me—she wrote to you for i months from my flat—” “Did she?” said Peter; his voicei sounded humilitated. “I can’t re -1 member having any letters. ... I [can’t remembre your name, or ever writing to a woman at all. . . .” He brought his clenched fist down on Inis knee heavily. “My God, it’s hard!” he said, with sudden passion. “It’s not fair—l ought to have been told—l ought to have been stopped from hurting anyone as——as I must have hurt her.’. “It nearly broke her heart.” Joan said She was enjoying herself now; this’was better than all the novels she had read—she meant to let Peter know exactly what Nan had suffered. He moved restlessly. “Go on—tell me all about' it.” “There isn’t much to tell ... it was after you were wounded. Nan had been so patient and plucky— they told her she mustn’t expect any letters from you as you were not well enough to write; and she said she didn't mind, that she was con tent to wait. And then—one even ing Mr. Arnott came to the flat— neither of us knew him, but Nan had had a letter from him once from Fnarce—he wrote to her when you were wounded and told her all about it. . . . He was very kind— he told her that you were in town I mut that you had lost your memory, and could not remember her or any-' thing about her—or that you were engaged,—or anything, Nan would't I believe it—she laughed at him; she said that she was sure' that you could never forget her. She went with him back'to the hotel where you were staying; she said she must see you tor herself; she said that she wasssuer e when you saw her it would be all right. .’’She topped iwth sudden tragic memory of how Nan had looked that night when she came back. “Ves—go on, please.” “She wasn’t gone long,” Joan said sorrowfully. “She came back quite soon. She didn’t say much, but I just knew by her face that nothing would ever be right again. She told me afterwards that she walked into the room where you were and that fbu didn't know her, that you look ed at her as if you had never seen her in all your life before. . . . Oh, poor, poor Nan!” sh e added. There was a bitter silence. “And I t.j’nk that’s all,” she said. “Her stepmother died the day after, 1 think it was, and she had to go home to look after the little boys at Leaxendon, and she’s been there ever since.” “And—and . . . she never wished me to be told—”? Peter asked huskily. “She wouldn’t hear of it. I know Mr. Arnott wanted to tell you, but Nan said she would never forgive him if he did. She made us all prom ise.” Peter looked up. “Do you know that she is engag ed to another man now?” he asked suddenly. Joan stared; then she laughed. “Nan egaged to another man! Rubbish!” she said. “Why—why she was ever so much too fond of you to ever look at anyone else. She just lived for the time when you would come back. She had made all |her clothes to be married in. She was so happy. Why, you were to (have been married when you got (your next leave!” she added thought lessly. iH . Jbf Etnnomical TrMtporWto*. 7 ■ x / Chassis $C C b * Only Mkh.

"Nan would never do such a thing, 1 know—” He sat staring down at th e dusty floor of the carriage; Joan watched him intently. She was not quite sure of him yet it all seemed strange and unbelie've able to her.

"“What can I do?” he asked. “It’s all so impossible.” Joan considered for a moment. “I should like to help you,” she said, frankly, “I should like to help Nan, too—-if there is anything I can do—anything—l will, I promise you.” e NOTICE!
