One who fori Be RUBYHM. iSYRES r>, \ <*1 t* l A Sgrv><j^ BEGIN HERE TODAY PETER LYSTKR loses his memory on the Western Front. I pon his return to London he fails to recognize NAN MARRARY, the girl to whom he was engaged before go ing. to France. She leaves her friend, JOAN ENDKOTT. and re turns home when news comes of her stepmothers's death. There she meets JOHN ARNOTT. fellow office* with Peter, who has brought thr latter to the home of his sister for a rest. Peter also fails to recog nize H AUL1A f’F.FTttX. a money lender, who has been to Nan-, home several times to - her lather. Today, however, h. h rail ing upon her. Their ennv, r t: io.i is interrupted by NaVs thr young stepbrrtht r .. Nap tab them away to make them presen table. They tell her that Sefton is the man who hit then with his whip. NOW GO ON WITH TPK S’l 1)10 Nan did not know what to n\ i'*r a moment, then she s.iid brt-kly: “Well, l dare pay ho tl • ■ iyr 111 ii v-.is just as well to teach you a t— ■>," she said. “You might have bei n kill ed if the ho.se ha I knocked von down.” She would not allow further :,r ga mer ts; she hustled them downstair ■ again and into the schoolroom, whew* tea was laid. Sefton was standing hack to the fireplace, looking round him wu.h quizzical eyes. “thinking how shabby the place is. I suppose.” Nan told herself in dignantly; she went into the kitchen to fetch the cake; when she can e back the three boys were standing in a defiant, row, eyeing their visitor with unfriendly eyes, Nan broke what seemed to he an embarrassed silence. “Tea!” she said gaily. Ref ton came forward; he took Un cake from her. “Let me carry that to the place of honor,” he said. llis fingers touched hers as he took tin dish, and Nan gave a little shud der She loked at his hands, and quick ly away again--strong, rather eruei looking hands they were; the sight of them strengthened her dislike of him. “How dare he hit urn boy . the biute!” was the indignant though in her he^»rt. “It's just exactly what I should expect of him. No wonder the boys won’t shake hands with him. I don’t blame them.” Tea was hardly a success, though Sefton did his best vo be entcrtni.n irg. He tried hard to make the bo; talk, hut beyond answering in mo:v.. lyilables when compelled to by Nan, they sat silent, all three of them mi or.e side of the table, staring at Sef ton from under their shaggy hair. Even the offer to take them for a ride in his car exacted no better re sponse than a sort of grunting a' - uulscence, and yt*t Nan knew that if there was one thing in the world for which the boys longed it was i> ride in a ear. Afterwards, when the meal was ended and the boys had rushed off. glad to get away. Sefton said w.th an ironical note in his voice: “The only auo.cesu seems to hay been the cake.” Nati could not b-!;i hutching. “The boys were rude.” she said. "I feel that 1 ought to. apologize; they’re not always like thh they can Ire por fget darlings if they like.’ There was a note of apneal in her voice. “It’s an odd thirg, but children never like me," Sefton said candidly. “It’s rather a sore point with me, 1 must admit.” “Really!” Nan was not at all sym pathetic. “Children are queer littl ihiner.” she said. “They get a lib or dislike into their heads and stick to it, no matter how you try to db lcdge it.” “And, apparently, I am to be one of their dislikes.” “Oh, 1 hope not," Nan said, polio, ly. She was wishing that he would go. She looked at the clock on the shelf nrd sighed. Presently he dragged forward a chair and sat down opposite her. “The subject of loss of memory opens the road to endless possibiP ties.” he said irrelevantly. Nan tried hard to hide the start she gave, but she knew he must have seen it. “A good subject for a novelist, is that what you mean?” she asked, lightly. “Novelists must hi) haying the time of the.r live with this dreadful war on, what with air raid and missing men turning up months after everyone believes them dead — ” she broke off with.a little hard laugh. Her voice had sounded flippant, and she hated herself for it, but s' e knew she could not be serious with thi3 man. “1 suppose you don’t write books. I— any chance, do you?" she asked flippantly. “No—it’s a thing I’ve never tried my hand at,” he answered seriou ly. “If I thought I should succeed 1 might perhaps be tempted now—” “Why now?—because of the v.a'-, you mean?” “Not altogether—1 was thinking of fbe cane I told you about the o' he* day, ;i • ii of I,;. ter, tp’iy of course.” "You think Mr. L> • t«• r l<>.>k ill'.’” lie sentm'il to con ider the tjues tion, .“Nut exactly 'ill." hi’ said at last. ‘‘Hut greatly changed "f course, t gave ini' a shock to lend that lie did not know me.

"Anti, for two people to be friends -real friends," Scfton said, present ly, "it is necessnrv for them to know well, a great deal about one :. other." Nan stramhleil to her feet. "Really .Mr. Sefton,” she began, hurriedly, "I’m sure 1 " but lie s’cj pet I her. "Listen to me for a moment." He had risen to his feet, too.

The man- his voice, his eyes, his whole attitude seemed to have undergone a swift transformation; she felt ns if she looked at the face of a strang i r; she fell hack a step from him. “Peter Peter owes you money,” she said breathlessly— then suddenly her voice rose. ‘‘I don’t believe you—1 just don't’ believe you,” she stammered. “It's a lie- s cruel lie. which you know he can’t deny- ” She forgot that she was no longer anything to the man she was tie rending: she only realized that Sc*fton was deliberately lying to her about the person she loved best in the world (To lie Continued) No 1 Township News of Late Interest (Special to The Star) Mr. and Mrs. Bulb Karls visited Mr. Saai MeCluney and family Sat urday night.

TELLS ADVANTAGES OFFERED BY STATE .Massachusetts Visitor Says Natives Fail to Realize Manifold Advantages Asheville, Once the people of the north and east come to realize what the State of North Carolina offers in the fields of agriculture and in dustry, and are aware of equal cli mate and spendid living conditions here, there will be a steady and healthy flow of permanent settlers into the state. This is the mature opinion of a former North Carolinian, Harlan 1*. Nelsey, a prominent nurseyman of Salem Mass., who has already tour ed the state, speaking in the interest of the creation of the proposed na tional park in the (ireat Smokies. Mr. Melsev whose family moved to Linville when he was two years old, and who grew up in and about Linville and Highlands, is thorough ly. convinced that the people of the North Atlantic and New England states w.ll be glad to pursue their agricultural and industrial occupa tions in the South, and abandon for ever the struggle for existence in the severe climate of the North. The pre sent very cold weather in the North will turn many to thinking of set tling in the South before another win ter sets in, Mr. Melsey averts. They need only to be told of the possibil ities and the climatic conditions here. Many thousands—and in time mil lions—-of people will come to know North Carolina by coming here on their vacations and visiting the re sorts of this state, Mr. Melsey told audiences on his recent visit to North Carolina. The proposed Great Smoky Mountains National Park will be an attraction that will, he be lieves, draw more people to North Carolina than all the other scen'c end health resorts combined. For this reason, he thinks the park should be made large enough, or pro vision should he made for expans on of the park area, to accommodate the limit’ess thousands who w 11 come here by train or motor, in his opinion. Mr. Melsey is .a member of the Southern Appalachian National Park Commission, which, at the direction of Sevetary of the Interior Work, selected the two s'tea. in the South ern Appalachians for nat.onal parks —one ie the Great Shenandoah Val iev of Virginia. These two parks will, in Mr. Mal fey-’s cpinii n. be the only two large national parks to be created in the east, because, he says, there are no other sites of sufficient size or qual ity to warrant being included in the national park system.
