B Eli IN HERE TODAY DETER LYSTER loses memory from shell shock on thr Western Front. Upon his return to London he fails to recognize NAN MAKRABY, to shorn he became engaged peior to his de parture from France. Nan has since returned to her home to care for her three motherless stepbrothers. Nan is still in touch with. JOAN ENDICOTT. whose hus band has Just returned to London on leave. Joan hints that Nan ought to stop greiving over I’t't ttsr and encourage the budding of love of JOHN ARNOTT, with whom Deter is staying at the home of the, former’s widowed sister, near the Marraby estate. Nan is jent ous of Arnotfs sister while very much diagu-ted with the atten non oi HARLEY SEFTON, money I lender, whom she first met through Peter before he joined his command. Since his return Peter has faile d»o resignize him. Sefton has told Nan that both Peter and her father owe him large sums of money and that it is up to her to say whether pay ment shall he demanded. ARNOTT and his sister have stopped in for tea, they are dis cussing the love of children (he had left the auto to walk in with Nan’s stepbrothers) when Arnott announces their arrival. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Nan turned her head to the win dow. The boys and Peter were com ing up the garden—Claudie and Bus ter were hanging on to either arm, i Jim was walking backwards a little in front, and all three were talking at the top of their voices. , “I must make some more tea," she said hurriedly. "If yon will excuse me for a moment. ..." She went quickly away; she want ed to compose herself a little before meeting Peter. As soon as she had gone Doris looked at her brother. “Well ?" he said rather awkwardly, I meeting her eyes, “what do you think of her?” Mrs. Mears shrugged her should ers. “I think she is quit*—nice," she said reluctantly. “How long have you known her, John?” “Oh—years!” Arnott said hurried ly. “At least, if it isn’t, it seems like years.” “You’ve never told me about her before.” He ran an agitated hand over his cropped head. "No; you see, I never thought you’d meet; and one gets to know so many people when one knocks about the world like I do." He seized Upon the cake plate. “Have some piovo cake?” ^No, thank you.” She leaned back in her chair and looked at her small reflection in a lopg, old-fashioned glass opposite. “And how long has Miss Marrnby known Peter?” she asked suddenly. Arnott was spared the embarrass ment of a reply by the entry of Peter himself with the three boys. The hoys stopped on the threshold in con fusion when they saw that Nan was not there. They tvere not allowed in the drawing room, as a rule. “But if you are very good, you may have tea here today,” Nan said, appearing behind them. “But no jam, mind, and no sticky fingers on the cushions.” She turned to Peter with a friendly little smile. She put down the frfrsh teapot she carried and shook hands with him. "I don’t know how you are off for feervants,” she said to Mrs. Mears, "out we only have one «mall maid, PRECIOUS IS THE SENSE OF LIGHT The pioment you detect the "slightest defect of vision, the jirpment you feel your eyes giv ing you the least bit of trouble, .that moment stop what you are doing and come to us for an ex amination.

Nan aroused herself then with a start. “Nothing—at least I've spilt some tea." “It’s all soaked in," Jim said as You can get 5 packets of seeds ol 5 different and very beautiful flowers free.

Nan went down on her knees; she mopped th elitlle pool up vigorously. “It won't show at all,’ she said breathlessly. “How clumsy of me! It’s a good thing if wasn’t one of you boys,” she added, with pretended severity. She hoped desperately that Peter had forgotten his question; she Sug gested a walk in the garden. She unbolted the long French window and went out on to the grass with Doris Wears. “I hope you will come and see me, Miss Marraby.” Doris said. “I live very quietly—I lost my husband two years ago, you know.” “Yes,” said Nan, "Mr. Arnott told me*— I am so sorry." “It was dreadful at first.” Mrs. Wears said, with a sigh. “ thought I couldn’t go on living at all—but— well, I have, you see. I try to do what I can to help others . . .’’ She raised her dark eyes to Nan with disconcerting suddenness. "Are you engaged?” she asked. Nan was looking straight ahead of her. "I was,” she said, steadily. “But it is nt an end now.” “And was he in the war, too?” Mrs. Wears asked. “Yes,” said Nan, There was a little silence. “He was not—killed?" the older girl asked, again. “No," Mrs. Wears touched the little mili tary ribbon Nan still wore. “f thought perhaps—as you are wearing this," she said, deprecating CURED In 6 to 14 Days All Druggists arc authorized to refund money if PAZO OINT MENT fails to cure any case of ITCHING.

Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound Fifty years ago there were few i nrriuifttlnnfl fnr women. Some taught school, some did housework, some found work to do at home and a few took up nursing. Today there ere very few oecupatlons not open to women. Today they work In factories with hun dreds of other women and girls. There are also women architects, ia m j ci o, ucuiisis, VACtumcs» auu lcgis lators. But all too often a woman wins her economic Independence at the cost of her health. Mrs. Elizabeth Chamberlain who works In the Unlonall factory making overalls writes that she got "wonderful j results" from taking Lydia E. Pink | ham's Vegetable Compound. Mrs. Chamberlain lives at 500 Monmouth ! St., Trenton, N. J.

She tried to smile, “In London the other day I saw an old woman in a bus With three different badges oh her coat—she was so proud of them -—she told me that she had three sons serving in the army.” Mrs. Mears laughed. “How qua-fit!” There was a touch of artificiality in her voice which Nan resented; she stopped and looked back at others. Mis. Mears stopped too. “It’s very sad about Mr. Lyster, don't you think?” she asked. “Very,” said Nan. “I shall miss him dreadfully when he goes away,” Mrs. Mears went on. “He has been so kind to me,” She broke oft as the two men and the boys came up. She moved away from Nan and went over to Peter. "You mustn’t overtire yourself,” she said playfully. “I really think we ougfit to he taking you home. What do you think, John?” Arnotl had just returned from aj race across the grass. He carried Claudio on his hack and lie was red j in the face from his exertions. “Don’t go,” came, in a chorus from the three. “Oh, don’t go.’ “I'm in no hurry,’ Peter said, quickly. He looked at Nan. “Mrs. j Mears will persist in making an in-' valid of me,” she said. There whs ii trace of annoyance in hi* voice. Nan remembered how he had always hated fuss. 8he moved on, and Peter walked beside her. “Who is the Miss Lyster you spoke of at tea-time?” he asked suddenly. Nan colored. “Oh, it’s only somebody I used to know a long while ago,” she said evasively. “It’s not a very uncom mon name, you know.” He kept his eyes downbent mood ily. “I thought perhaps it might have been aomeone I ought to have known,” he said. "I suppose I have some relations somewhere or other.” He looked at her suddenly. “Are you feeling happier today? Jie asked abruptly. Nan flushed scarlet. “I don’t want to be reminded of last night,” she said, vehemently. “I made an utter and complete fool of myself. Please, try and forget it.” There was a silence. “Do you often walk in the woods?” be asked. “Sometimes—I haven’t much time.” “And do you like Mrs. Mears?” Peter asked then. Nan hesitated. “Well, I can hardly say—I’ve never seen her before, you know. She’s pretty isn’t she?” She longed for him to disagree with her. Peter glanced across to where Mrs. sev1.’1. 11 see hi I. ... . . Mears wns talkir.tr to her brother. I "Yes; 1 suppose one would call her | pretty.” he said, at last.

Nan went with them to the gate. The ear was drawn up at the road side, and the chauffeur was half asleep in his sent. “She must have plenty of money," Nan thought with, a pang. ■ “And you’ll come over and see us? Mrs. Mears was asking her. ”1 should love you to see my hoy. John must drive over one day and letch you. Will you, John?" John would be delighted, he said Which day should he come? Any day would suit him. "I think we hi.d better leave it 'for a little while,” Nan answered. ”1 ant so busy; there is such a lot to do.” “If you leave it too long I shall be back in France." lie told her rue fully.
