THE FORTUNE HUNTER -I : ANew,Gripping Romance Serial By RUBY AYRES ... t * (fliltml Tfm YMtwtay.) Fhe# broke to passionately. "It's mot that. How dare you say it! I knew It would be impossible to make you understand. I never mean to try. 1 made up my mind I would Just go- on. and let things pat themselves right, and so I would hare dona. If It hadn't been for something mat?that happened today,' she added slowly. He turned quickly at that. "Somethlrg that happened today9 You mean?this afternoon?" "Yes." The Fortune Hunter felt as if au icy hand had touched his heart, this was the first roll of the drums, the warning that the end was in sight. He sought desperately for some clue- What could Lave happened? What did ehe mean' "Tell me what it was." he said, st last. She drew away from him; there was something very forlorn and pathetic about her at that moment, and the Fortune Hunter felt as if his heart would break as he lookel at her. ?* With all his love he could only bring her unhappiness and suffering. and for a moment he was tempted to tell her the whole truth then and there, and stand by the uonsequences. Sorely it would be better than ipoing on from day to day. getting more deeply implicated, and making it more impossible to escape with even a shred of honor. Then Tommy called from the Irawing-room window, and the moment was gone. "Anne?Cnclj Clem says it's too cold for you out there." Anne turned readily; she seemed slad of the interruption, but the 'Fortune Hunter caught her and held her for a secor.d. "You will answer my question/* She straggled against him. 'Not now. oh, please! let me go.' "You will tell me tonight.' "Very well, I promise, when Mr. Foster has gone." The Fortune Hunter released her. "Damn-Foster!" he s^id savagely. They went back to the drawing room together. Tommy was yawning over a book of travels, and Mr. Harding snd Foster were talking in desultory fashion. The old man looked up apologetically as his niece entered. "My dear. I'm afraid its too damp out in the garden for you." "I'm not cold. Uncle," but she shivered as she spoke. The Fortune Hunter had strolled over to the piano; he sat down on the stool, idly turning the sheets of the song which still stood on the rack? "For there's no friend along the highways Fr a vagabond " With sudden impulse he began to Play the air. his hands running lightly over the keys. "When you're Jog. Jog, Joggln' along the white road With your luck all upside down?" Tommy began to hum the song under his breath, and Anne sat up with swift attent'on. "I never knew you could play.

"Well, I think I'll be getting along." he said. "Its early yet/ Mr Harding objected. "What about a game of bridge; you play. John?* The Fortune Hunter looked up, his face twitching nervously. He knew that he had walked into ft trap over the music, and he treaded that this apparently harmless question might prove to be anther. He was spared a reply by F >ster fcimself. "Thanks, not tonight, sir. j I must really be getting along " He said goodnight, and Mr. Haid Ing and Tommy followed him to the Mr. The "Fortune Hunter went over to Anne at once. "Now. then?what did you mean? . What has happened today to make you distrust me?" She would not answer. She tried to evade the question. "Tommy and uncle will be back In a minute.
