NAN MARRABY. driven from
home by an unsympathetic step
mother, goes to London and obtains
employment as companion to Miss
Lyster, an elderly woman. She
holds this post until the death Of
her mistress two years later. This
is at the beginning of the Great
War.
PETER LISTER, nephew and sole
heir to the fortune left by his
maiden aunt, is apprised of tuhe
death when he calls to say farewell
on his way to the front. He meets
Nan and before joining his regiment
he has obtained her promise of mar
riage.
JOAN ENDICOTT, whose husband
is also departing for France, offers
to share their small London apart
ment with Nan. Here several
months later Nan learns of Peters
injury and after six weary weeks
meets
LIEUT.. JOHN ARNOTT, who tells
her that Peter is again sound in
body but that he has lost his men,
DRY. Informed that Peter is in
London, Nan insists on seeing him.
He fails to recognize her.
Nan returns to Joan only to be
asked to leave in order to make
room for Joan's husband homeward
bound on five days leave. Nan is
brooding over q fate whi'n has
granted Joan her husband and left
her nothing but memories.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
SO often they had talked of the fu-
ture, and what they would do when
their men came home from France
and now all Mans dreams had been
shattered. and she was left alone in
an unsympathetic world where even
her one friend had failed her.
She put the little bundle Of letters
returned to her by Arnott, away in
| a drawer and locked them there.
She tried to forget that Arnott had
suggested that she should 90 down
to his sister. but the thought kept
coming to her mind again and again
Why shouldn't she go? What harm
| would she be doing to anybody?
At least if she went she would see
Peter every day. She would hear hi!

she stayed away

won't you come, too? It's such

\ But Joan would not; she had
great deal to see to, she said with
touch Of Importance.
Nan put on her hat; she was reall
glad to be going alone; she did nc
feel as if she could be very patien
with Joan; she walked down the roa
quickly.
Nan felt very lonely amongst a

wink. Now down in the country
where my sister lives"
Peter struck in rather irritably.
"Your sister probably would not
thank you for foisting two more or
less sick men on her." he said.
"Oh, that's because you don't
know Doris. Nothing's too much
trouble for her; she'd have the whole
of the British army to sleep in the
house if she could" He looked at
Nan and smiled. "Peter's a disagree
able old beggar," he said. cheerily.
Seems to have got it up against wQ-
men for some reason or another" He
spoke without thinking, and the next
moment he would have cut off his
right hand to take back the care
lessly spoken words. for Peter said,
sharply:
well, I've no great reason to care
for them" He looked at Nan, half
apologetically.
Mans crooked smile twisted her
lips for moment, and vanished like
pale ghost.
She pushed back her chair and
rose.
"I'm going to buy some sweets for
JOAN" she said. you two stay
there" She went over to the coun-
ter just as an excuse to get away
from Peters eyes. She could not rid
herself Of the thought that all the
time Peter must know-that behind
those troubled eyes of his he knew
that this was Nan, the woman whom
he had adored, and that he was criti-
cizing her and despising her because
she was able to play the game Of
pretense SO we'll.
When she was out Of earshot Peter
looked at his friend.
"Who is she?" he asked with faint
interest.
(TO BE COntinued)

Nan turned her face away to hide
the look of relief that flashed into
her eyes.
Lets 90 and get some coffee"
Arnott struck in; he was anxious to
keep Nan and Peter together as iOng
as possible. "There's Fuller's quite
close--what do you say, Peter"
Anything you like"
Nan walked back between the two
men. She felt as if she trod on air.
She dared not look at Peter. She
kept up running fire of small talk
with Arnott. She forced herself to
laugh and appear to be merry, and
the thought went through ArnOtt's
mind again how wonderful she was.
When they got to the shop he
went off to see what sort Of cakes
there were. He entered into a totally
unnecessary argument with the girl
behind the sweet counter, SO as to
give Nan and Peter few moments
together.
Nan knew that he had done it on
purpose, and hardly knew if she hat
ed him for it or loved him. She
looked at Peter with eyes that hid
their feelings bravely. He was lean
ing back in his chair. and now, with
the sunlight falling full on his face
through the window with its blind of
colored glass beads, she realized for
the first time that he had altered
tremendously.
She knew that her ewes were melt
ing into tenderness; she plunged in
to speech.
"Mr Arnott tells me that you are
on leave" ...
Eyes" He had taken off his service
cap and passed a hand rather weari-
ly across his forehead.

ment, "why fellows always make

He looked at Nan with a sort Of
anxiety in his eyes. HAS Arnott

with a laughing apology, then broke
off with an exclamation Of delight.
"Miss Marraby-"
1t was John Arnott. and little
behind him was Peter Lyster.
"Odd we should run across one
another again." Arnott said, trying
to speak casually; he held out his
hand TO Nan, and took hers in a
warm, friendly grasp. He hesitated,
,glancing at Peter, but Lyster was
looking from one to the other, OBJ
yiously expecting to be introduced,
and after the barest possible hesita-
ton Arnott presented him.
MY friend, Peter Lyster- Miss
Marraby." He did not dare to look
at Nan, but he need not have feared;
after the first natural blenching She
met the position calmly. though she
was quite pale, and now and then
there was little catch in her voice
when she spoke.
Il think I've seen you before
Lyster said.
Nan held her breath in an agony
of hope.
Had the unexpected sight of her
stirred some faint chord in his mind?
But his next words soon dispelled
her illusion.
.'You came into the hotel i last
night, think" he said. Il was in
the reading room"
"Of course" said Nan. She forced
q smile to her pale lips. IL had left
my gloves, hadn't I? And you and
and your friend were kind enough to
help me look for them"
Lyster frowned.
"She was hardly my friend" he
said, rather shortly; his voice
sounded as if he were annoyed. II

MANDAN NEWS

An eight per cent increase in the
school population Of Mandan is re-
corded this year, there being total
of 1888 pupils in the city and pa
rochial schools. The high school
shows the biggest increase, the addi-
tional students coming principally
from the rural districts.
The Mandan Chamber of Commerce
has asked residents to notify the
states attorney of any peddler who
is unable to display a license. The
prosperity of the Missouri slope
country this year will undoubtedly
draw a large number of peddlers. the
chamber believes. A SIS license fee
must be paid by peddlers working
in the state.
According to the last census there
were only IL Irish-born farmers in

ONE DRIVE THAT FAILEDl
(BOStOn Transcript

NbOSloll uhcNiiPtJ
1t has come to be theory pretty
generally accepted that an organ
lied drive" to secure money for
almost any purpose under the sun
is sure of success. But New York
reports the drive that failed. The
house in which President James
Monroe spent the last days Of his
life has been solo, and will be de-
molished. For some years effort
has been in progress to raise d
fund of several hundred thousand
dollars for the preservation Of the
building.
But it would be unfair to ascribe
the failure Of this particular drive
to lack of appreciation OF Monroe
and his services. To begin with.
here was no movement for the pre-
servation of one Of tie historic
homes of America. The house was
built in 1923 Oy Samuel l.. GOuver-
neur, son law Of Monroe. 1t was
one OF the pretentious homes of
New York in its day. but it re-
quires much stretching Of the i'm
agination to picture it as the home
of Monroe. He came there an OLD
man to linger a few months or
years and die. The property was
SOLD four years after his passing
Further reason for lack of interest
in the effort to preserve the house
may be found in the fact that, OF
the original structure, lite was
left in addition to the walls and
the roof. The interior offered few
traces of former grandeur.

PINNING DOWN THE POLE

Robert E. Peary, we are now
told by a Canadian explorer, dill
not reach the true North Pole. At
all events, the evidence by which
he identified the Pole was INSULT
cient. But precisely what differ
ence does this make? No one de-
MES that Peary reached the imme-
date vicinity Of the Pole and no
one claims that Closer identified
ton has any Importance either for
science Or for craftsmanship.
SO far as the interests of scien-
lists extend. the 600-mile line Of
ceanographic observations which
Peary threw across the Arctic
ocean has the greatest possible
value and the presumed arrival at
the polar spot, on a foe OF con-
stantly shifting ice, no value at all.
So far as sportsmen are concerned,
moreover, the achievement lies in
the successful completion of the
trip OF which the Pole is only the
more or less incidental goal.
Stefansson has paid the highest
tribute to Peary for his ingenuity
and mental fexibility in adapting
himsef to the conditions of polar
travel. From this point Of view
his two major discoveries were
the superiority of Eskimo clothin :
and housing to anything Europeans
had been able to devise, and his
recognition that the winter is the
safest period for travel over the
ice pack. The actual dash to the
Pole was little more than a reg

STAR CARERS
Big Dipper Will Be High in
Western Sky With Handle
Nearly Due North
tBy The Associated Press)

(By The Associated Press)
Washington, June 6.-You may
think summer is here, but officially
it does not begin until June 81 which
will be the longest day Of the year
in the northern hemisphere. It comes
on Sunday. which will doubtless make
tennis and golf players rejoice.
June is the month to look for the
Big Dipper high in the western sky
with the end Of the handle nearly due
north, says bulletin by the .Ameri-
can Nature Association. Bootes,
generally spoken of as the Herdsman,
is also known as the Ox-driver and is
supposed to be driving the seven
plough oxen, as the seven stars of
the Big Dipper are also known,
around the north pole of the heavens.
Arcturus, the brightest star in
Bootes, is the Bear-guard, as its
name signifies, and it can be easily
found by prolonging the line of stars
in the tail of the Great Bear or the
handle of the Big Dipper toward the
southeast. Some see in Bootes a
hunter pursuing the Great Bear with
his two hounds,
Bootes is easily found because its
chief stars form the outline of a
boys kite, with the bright orange
colored star Arcturus at the point
where the tail joins the body of the
kite. This kite has two tails, how.
eyer, extending to either side from
Arcturus. =
Some prefer to see the five fairly
bright stars in Bootes to the north Of
Arcturus as corners of a pentagon, a
five-sided figure with its sides Of
equal length.
Arcturus. its peculiar orange color
makes it easy to And, is also one Of
the three brightest stars north Of the
celestial equator. The other two are
Vega, now far over in the northeast,
and Capella in the northwest. The
three stars differ greatly in color, for
Vega is bluish-white; Capella, yell
low; and Arcturus orange. Vega is
q shade brighter than the other two,
which are exactly equal in bright

there is some uncertainty as to its
exact distance. 1t is placed between
Fl and SO light years. A light year
is the distance light travels in year

sun, the stars being all suns, of
course. It's diameter is nearly TO-

The ultimate result, if this de-
mand continues that preachers and
teachers shall belong to the neuter
sex, and, like the mule or the worker
bee, shall never reach adolescence,
will be to fill these professions with
neuters, and drive men and women
out of them. That would not be
good, for church or for schools.

Adjusting ourselves to the psy-

too long trained to think as debtors.
When our resources were being

for US, and we knew it was good for
England. But now that the tables
are turned, and many of our people
are buying foreign securities, critics
cry that we are being drained of our
gold, and are comforting undeserved
tavors on foreigners, out of senti-
ment.
