Upon his return to London he falls to recognize Nan Marraby, to whom he becamc engaged before going to the fronL. Nan, broken-hearted, returns to her hiome to care for her three mother- less stepbrothers. She is still in touch with Joan Endicott, in Tondon, who has encouraged her to forget Petcr and marry his friend and fellow of flcer John Arnott, with whom Peter {s resting at the home of Arnott's sls- ter, not far from the Marraby es tate. Nan in desperation, however, over Peter's reported engagement to Arnott's sister, and the financial dif- ficulties of her father, has consented to marry Harley Sefton, a money lender, who has promised to cancel her father's debts to him and make her a present of Peter's I0U's on their wedding day. Arnott has just called to ask Nan whether her reported engagement 1s true. He tells her that Peter {3 not | engaged to his sister, but rather has | applied for immediate return to, France. The mald announces Sefton and Arnott leaves. Nan enters the room where Sefton is walting. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Befton took a bundle of papers | from his pocket and flung them down on the table. “There are your tather's precious bills,” he said. Nan colored, she glanced at them, but did not pick them up. “Thank vou,” ghe said. “By the way,” he added, looking back over his shoulder, “Lyster s angaged to that little widow sister of Arnott's—1 suppose you know though—eh 7" “I heard it- Nan in a strangled volce, | He laughed provokingly. | “Oh, yes, it is,"* he sald. “T met | Lyster as I came along just | and he told me himself.” Johin Arnott was right when he | said that Peter had changed during | the past few days. | He had grown irritable and mo- rose; hie took to going off for long walks by himsclf, he was abrupt {with Arnott and seemed to avoid Doris, It was the morning after the vil- ’Iapf- had been thrilled with the news lof Nan Marraby's engagement that [TPeter announced his intention of go- ling to London, | "It's all rot, tearing up to town ;Ivke this,” Arnott declared huffily.

Xan's eyes went quickly to Lyster and away again. “Where arc you off to?" she asked | |as liehtly as she could. Arnott an- | [swered that Peter was fed np with {them and was going back to town. | Nan's blue eyes dilated. “You have soon got tircd of the conntry,” she sald. Peter did not answer; he was en- grossed with the hoys, who had {elimbed on to the footboard of the car. “It's goodby, then. Mr. Lyster,” Nan said. After a moment’s hesfta- |sight of a girl's white, M. AYRE tlon she held out her hand, “Good- by Arnott frowned as he drove on. Was Lyster a fool, he wondered fmpatiently, that he could not guess the meaning of the heartbreak in Nau's cyes. For the twentieth time the impulse came to him to tell him the truth. “I suppose,” Peter sald suddenly. with a sort of constraint, “I suppose it is true that Miss Marraby is en- gaged to—Sefton?" throwing herself away.” “Yes," said Arnott again savagely. “There's no doubt about that.” Lyster looked at him. “What became of the fellow she was engaged to?" he asked. Arnott colored. “He treated her rottenly,” he sald violently. ‘At least—T. suppose T ought not to say that—it's a mixup anyhow." “What do you mean—a mixup?"” But Arnoft would say no more. The station was in sight, and he changed the subject hurriedly, Nan's face haunted Peter all the way to London. Her smile troubled Iim—and her voice—~and her little tricks of manner. Peter caught sight of & girl's white, frightencd face, Ho was roused from hi% thoughts by a jolt and a violent swerve fol- lowed by a sudden impact. A cab coming in the opposite di- rection had collided with them at the corner of the road. Lyster had a vague impression of broken glass and a man's red. angry face before he wrenched open the door and serambled out. The other cab had come off by far the worst of the two; the door had jammed, and all the gla broken, and behind it Pote frightened face, He got it open after a struggle and halped the girl out. Tt was some moments hefore she could find her voice. “They had no right fo drive so fast—T knew we should have an ac- | The Sad, Giad Time | B ! !

It didn’t seem as if any more fat could be tucked away under their ckins, Peter couldn’t remember evey, having seen them quite so fat. But it scemed that the fatter they were the happier they were.

The police had arrived on (he scene and were making coplous notes. “My cab seems fairly undamaged Peter sald to ghe girl, “I0 you will let me drive you along—1 don't know where you are going."” She told him at once." “I was going to Euston to catch a train, but now I supposg I shall miss it and there’ll be nobody to meet me-—oh d what shall I do!’ She seemed very helpless, Peter thought with a sense of impatience, even while he felt rather sorry for her. “What time does the train go?” he asked. “We are not far from Euston—as a matter of fact, I've just come from there myself—I shall be delighted to drive you back 8he accepted readily—it turned out that there was a quarter of an hour in which to catch the train this, and consented to smile, she looked at Peter interestedly. “My husband is out in [rance,” she sald jmpulsively. “I suppose nearly everyone's husband 1s though —he's just been home on leave.” Her voice quivered a ittle. “It's horrible without him,” she added. “I'm sure it is,"” Peter said kindly; theré was something childish abou this girl that appealed to him. “I used to have a friend living with me,” she went on. ‘“But now she’'s had to go home, and I'm all alone.

The faxi was slowing down, and with an effort he roused himself and turned to the girl beside him. (To Be Continued) om LLIEK Coughs Brings rest in the day time and sleep at nigh:.
