TH$ FORTUNE HUNTER A New, Gripping Romance Serial By RUBY AYRES (Cwtlsw* Trim Ysstsrday.) But even then the task wm a difficult one, and the letter when at la*t completed to Irenie Claw, seemed to his critical eye an obvious copy. Th# afternoon post left 8omerton at 4 o'olock and he knew he could not afford to miss it. If she were the port of a woman he thought her. she would keep her word and come^ % to Somerton If she received no reply to her Utter. f So ho hurrlerly sealed and addressed the envelope and took it himself to the ?ost. He had written as tactfully and kindly as possible, telling her that a meeting at present was impossible, hating himself because It had seemed necessary to address her affectionately?he who had never written a love letter to any woman In his life, hating himself for the added lies which every moment of 4he day n?w seemed to bring with them. Anne kept her room for dinner. "The Poor child has a headache." Mr. Harding said. "I think she must have been out in the sun without a hat." He smiled at the Fortune Hunter cheerily. "You must look after her better, John; she is not too strong you know." Tommy was not In to dinner either. "Oh, hell have some supper with Fernie." Mr. Harding said. I really believe he prefers bread and cheese at Long End Cottage to anything we can offer him here. Well, what aj% you going to do with yourself this evening? I promised Foster to go up and have a same of billiards with him; will you come along with me? I'm sure he'll be delighted." The Fortune Hunter smiled wryly and refused. "I'm not much of a hand at billiards." he said, then checked himself hurriedly, wondering if here .he was on dangerous ground also; "at least I'm out of practice." he added. When Mr. Harding had gone he sent a note up to Anne, begging her to come down. The day had been intolerable wlthoat her. and he began to realise what lire, would be like In the future if he never saw her again. He waited Impatiently In the hall for his answer, which the maid brought verbally. Miss Harding was so sorry, but would Mr. Smith ex- i cuse her Her h*ad was very bad. and she was trying to sleep. The Fortune Hunter walked away without answering; he knew that she was asoidini; him intentionally. : He spent a wretched evening. It was past 11 when Tommy came home full of excitement about some new and wonderful steam engine Fernle had shown him. "You know, he's really a wonder." he said to the> Fortune Hunter. h.ls face aglow. "I wish I were half as clever." '1 didn't know he was such a friend of yours." the Fortune Hunter answered dryly. "You must take me along to his place some day." "Will you comer Tommy looked pleased. "Mr. Fernie said he wished I would bring you sometimes." The Fortune Hunter laughed. "Really! I'm honored." h? said. "He's not such a bad old codger," Tommy said lightly. "Anne hates him. but. then, women always hate people they don't understand. He asked me a lot of questions about you." "What sort of questions?" "Oh, I don't know, he seemed in-; terested. I thought. Well. I'm off to" j bed. lis uncle in?" "Not yet?he's gone up to play billiards with Foster." Tommy went off. and, finding the silence of the huse unbearable, the i Fortune Hunter went to his own rooms. Ws* Anne asleep, he wondered, as he lay through the long night unabl# to sleep; or was she awake as he was: unhappy, as he was? But at breakfast time next morning she was apparently quite her usual self, save that she seemed to avoid hm as she had done on the previous day. She was qi*ite well, she declared; a good night's rest had cured her. Wasn't it a perfect day? and(she did hope that he had not been "too lonely last evening. The Fortune Hunter could hardly answer har; he made no attempt to seek her out during the morning; he took a newspaper and went out into the garden; he tried to read, but his thoughts kept wandering. What could he do? What was to be the end of everything What would become of them all? Tommy came across the garden, waving a yellow envelope. "A teleKram for you, and the boy's waiting." Th? Fortune Hunter paled as he took it and read the curt message. "Letter received; expect yotf here to lunch, or shall come down? Ij-enle." For a moment It seemed to him that this was the end of everything; for a moment his self-possession deserted him. and he could only sit motionless, the message falling from his nerveless hand. Tommy looked on curiously. "I say. what's up?" he asked at last. "Is it bad news?" The Fortune Hunter roused himself with an effort, and rose. "No; at least I've got to go to London; do you know how the trains go? I want a fast one. it?s urgent." He hardly knew what he was saying. He picked up the telegram and went quickly back to the house. Tommy struggling to keep up heside him. talking all the time. "There's one at IS; It only stops once, at Slough. You can catch that if you hurry. I say. is there any answer for the boy?" "No; tell him. will you? I must run." The Fortune Hunter dashed off to his to cm. he felt llk? a man In s dream. Twelve o'clock! It was a ouarter to now; if he ran he oould just reach the station In time; la three minutes he was out of the house and running along the road. He called to Tommy as he crossed the hall; "111 be back about C-? sorry to dash off like this; explain when I come home." Home!
