Ann'. “Showing off" To Jim Cou.e.
Him Further Injury.
Never had I se en Ann sit down
properly. She always perched on
her crossed feet like a tailor or pos
ed on a corner of a table like a
dangling and swinging a
silk-clad ankle. When she had tired
of prancing through her most dar
ing dance steps she suddenly sprang
to the arm of Jim's chair and col
lapsed as if she were exhausted.
It was all part of her game. »

Captain Luella Knox, of the Sal
vation Army, has asked the Times-
Recorder to sound another warning
to the charitably inclined of Ameri-
cus, to investigate before they give.
“Recentlv there has been a wo-
JL man going the rounds,” said Capt.
®J»nox,, “begging for food, money
- -r *nd clothing. She said she had seen
me and that I had given her 10 cents.
She poses as a cripple and claims to
have a little girl. After a three-
day search I located this woman. She
is neither sick nor a cripple; she has
no little girl; she has been picking
gone under more than one name.
“If the people of Americus and
Sumter county will first notify either
Mrs. C. J. Sherlock or me, and let
us investigate, we will save them
from these imposters. ....

winter almost here and indications

have known!” I thought. “That! ar, y w here.
wretched child can develop morel
misery—for others—in a shorter
time than any person I ever saw
never thought at all about poor
Jim!”
“Oh-h-h-h—” Ann shrieked. Then
she rushed out of the room. I
couldn’t tell whether she intended
to express contrition and remorse
or whether her shriek meant re
bellion. And I didn’t care.
The first thing poor Jimsy asked
when he came out of his faint was:
“Where’s Ann?”
I set out to round her up and bring
her —in I knew that her poor hus
band was going to apoligize for his
impatience. Absurd — highly, but
it was his way. I was glad not to
find Ann after hunting a quarter of
an hour. I wanted Jim to sleep, to
forget to apologize. That was Ann’s
duty.
When Ann couldn’t be found af
ter half an hour, the nurse explain
ed to Jim that she was bathing and
grooming and dressing for the eve
ning. '
And so Jim fell into a sleep which
lasted until midnight. For that his
relatives were grateful.
His child-wife was not to be found

Ann clung obsitnately to Jim un-
til his nurse reached his side and,
with an impatient “Mrs. Lorimer,”
pushed her away.
Jim’s face was drawn with pain,
his lips tight as if to keep from crv
ing out, his pallor became ghastly
and he “Jumped into his nurse’s
arms. He had fainted,
With Van’s help, he was lifted in
to bed. His surgeon was summon
ed. I had to tell him what had hap
pened. When I came back to Ann,
she was weeping. She looked so
absurd with her tears and her beads
that I spoke brutally:
“To nuote your husband, you've
done it!”
“What have I dona?” in a hard
little voice. /
“Snapped the fracture!”
“Will he be long getting well?”
“All to go through again—you
oucrht to know!”
At this Ann wailed:
“I'm sorry! Sorry! Sorry! Nobody
knows how sorry T am! I’m always
doine ju«t the one thing I wouldn’t
do for all the world! Luck Is always
against meP*
,c Use your brains and your luck
