The Fortune Hunter leaned hts back against the etone parapet and looked at her steadily. "Vou would have done better to have taken him and forgotten me.' he said abruptly. "He'? a rich man. I?" He broke off with a hasah labgh. ?nne made no answer. She stood there In the rain, her hands in the big pockets of her mackintosh, her fare' rather pathetic beneath little woolen hat She was beginning to realize that, although she lored this man with every beat of her loyal heart, she did not understand him. ' She knew vaguely that the pa*t years must have embittered him. and yet?there were moments when he was like a stranger to her, a man whom she was meeting for the ( first time. She wanted, to put something of her thoughts into words, to appeal to him to make her understand him better, to ask him to confide in her and talk to her of all that he felt; but somehow she was afraid. He had written such beautiful letters during the years of their separation. and now It seemed Impossible that he could ever have been the writer. She had pictured that theirs would be a marriage of mutual trust and understanding; that he would keep nothing from her. that ha would pour out all his sorrows and sufferings to her; but there had not been one word said. Not one mention ' of the tragedy that had separated them, except that swift denial for which she herself had asked. She felt as if she stood outside the wall of his trust and confidence. Presently she moved looking back towards the village. -Shall we go home?" The Fortune Hunter spoke quickly. You are anrry with mf." ne? said, as he had said once before that afternoon. He put his hand through her arm but now she no longer yielded to him. She felt stiff and unresisting, and he mo*e1 away again with a little rough laugh. "Tou are disappointed In me?T krrew you were bound to be.~ She' began a swift denial. "I am not?John! how can you say so; it's only " Then she broke off with a little stifled cry: Oh? look!" A saddle horse was coming galloping wildly down the road that led onto the bridge; its reins were dangling helplessly, and the man on its back clung in desperation round its neck and to its mane, shouting with terror - stricken hoarseness for help. Anne screamed, for the runaway was making straight for them on the narrow bridge. The Fortune Hunter thruat her back against the parapet "Stand there?don't move- " He rushed away from her towards the oncoming horse; the ring of lta hoofs sounded like thunder on the hotlow bridge. The Fortune Hunter let the horse get level with him. then he swung round, catching the flying bridle, running beside it. ? He hung on with grim strengths not attempting at first to check the animal's speed, but making it feel his strength and presence. Anne hid her face. He would *e killed she thought wildly, and hoped that she would die, too. She could feel the hot breath of the horse as It snorted past her; afraid now of its own strength; heard the ring of the hoofs deaden again as it crossed the bridge and gained the roadway once more, and then suddenly It stopped. She-locked up: the Fortune Hunter laid the horse under control: he ptr?od beside it. patting its streaming neck. talking to it soothingly. The man Fernle had slipped to the ground; he was white and shaken: he could not find his voice when Anne rushed to oin them. She looked at John. "Tou are not hurt. T thought?I was afraid you would be hurt." He laughed. "It was nothing!" He turned to fernie. "What frightened the poor brute?" he asked. Fernie found his voice with an effort. "The Iy>rd only knows; cursed brute! She's never done tt before!" He wiped his sweating face with a shaking hand. "Will you lead her back to the inn for me?" he asked. Til not ride her again." They walked back over the bridge together, the Fortune Hunter leading the trembling horse, and nofimore was said until they reached the inn. then old Femie. looking up at him. said: "And who have T to thank for?for the fact that Tm still alive?" His voice was faintly ironical, but his eyes were not unkindly as he looked at the young man's flushed face. Anne came forward. "This is my fiance. Mr. Fernie." she said quietly. "Mr. John Smith." There was a moment's silence, then the old man bowed with rather exaggerated courtesy. "I am pleased to meet you. Mr. John Smith, and perhaps some da? you may be glad to remember that we have met?for the first time in such auspicious circumstances." he saM dryly.

Io* a. Aug. 28.?A boy's employment bureau established by the local Chamber of Commerce last May, has placed ninety-three boys at work I during the summer, according to | A. A. Burger, secretary of the . chamber. _ Much of the employment was for short terms a day. an afternoon. for a week. However, twenty-one permanent summer positions were found for appli-~ cnts. A feature of the work is that newspaper publicity was the only advertising given this occupational clearing house Among the more usual tasks. were lawn mowing, distributing posters. delivering packages, window washing and cleaninc yards. Many of the jobs were of a routine nature, but the records divulge an interesting diversity of labors accomplished. One boy rspent a week as a temporary office boy. another collected bills; one planted lawn seeds; and a fourth of domestic inclinations, was employed to help can strawberries. The aptitude and versatilty of the workmen is attested to by the fact that not a single complaint was registered with the Chamber of Commerce Ths boys employment bureau was ths outgrowth of the regular employment bureau which was established at the beginning of the year by the Chamber of Commerce.
