PETER LISTER has lost his
memory from shell shock on the
Western Front. Upon his return to
London he fails to recognize
NAN MARRABY, to whom he be-
came engaged prior to going to

suggests that she forget about
Peter and encourage the apparent
love of Peters friend and fellow

is spending a leave for rest at the
home of Arnott's sister located near
the Marraby estate. Joan is jealous
of Arnott's sister and Disguised

whom she first met through Peter
prior to his departure for France.

recognize on his retur has old
Nan that both Peter II her father
owe him large sums of money and
that it is entirely up to her
whether he presses collection.
Arnott, his sister and Peter have
stopped in for tea with Nan. They
are just leaving and Arnott has
begged Nan to let him call and lake
her to his home for a visit.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
s6X Jerry we'll" Nan said with
sudden fippancy. "Any day
you LIKE shall be delight
ed"
She purposely avoided shaking
hands with Peter before the car
started. The last glimpse they had
of her as they drove away was her
slim figure at the gate, with the
three boys clamoring round her.
The day after Arnott and his sister
called at Leavenden, Nan met Har-
ley Seton in the wood.
He wore the riding breeches and
CATERS which he affected when he
was down in the country. and he
carried his usual crop.
He liked to play the part of coun
try squire when he was at Little
Gadesden.
Nan rose to her feet when she
saw him, dropping the little sweet
scented flowers all around her. her
face palng.
He smiled delightedly as he raised
his hat,
This is better luck than 1 hoped
for--I was coming to call on you
this afternoon"
Indeed" said Nan.
Her voice was unfriendly; she kept
her hands behind her back.
Il shan't shake hands with him,
even if he offers to shake hands with
me-" she was telling herself deter
minedly.
But Seton did not offer; he stood
Ticking his boots with the hunting
crop.
Did you pick those flowers to
throw them away?" he asked after
a moment.
Nan glanced down to the scattered
%primroses at her feet.
Yes" she said defantly, ~ did"
A half smile crossed his face.
That's rather unkind, isn't it?"
he asked.
Nan flushed; she watched silently

together.
why were you coming to see
me?" she asked suddenly.
He did not answer till he had
picked up all the flowers, then he
held them to her in a neat little
bunch, but she drew back.
No, thank you"
He did not look in the least of.
Tended.
THAT means that you will give
them to me-a thousand thanks"
He began to put them in his but
ton.hole. /;
Nan looked at him with flashing
eyes-suddenly she tore the flowers
from him.
Il wonder sou dare treat me like
this" she said. Il wonder you dare
even speak to me after what hap
pened the other afternoon"
Her eyes were furious.
He regarded her serenely.
And what did happen?" he asked
smoothly. Just a little plain speak.
