"I hope you don't think I was rude?asking so many questions: but you see. she's my only sister." His' voice was earnestly apologetic. The Fortune Hunter smiled broadly, in spite of his attempts to be serious. "I quite understand." he said dryly. "Please don't mention it.** They went on into the diningroom together. In spite of the fact that he had dreaded it. the dinner passed off with perfect ease and friendliness. The conversation was kept to general matters, and no unexpected questions were asked. Anne was very silent, but the Fortune Hunter was conscious of her eyes often upon him, and for the life of him he could not meet their gaze. He was thankful when the meal was ended, and Mr. Harding said: "You young people would like a little stroll in the garden. I expects hut don't stay out too long. It's .September, you know, and there's a river mist rising already. Standing up, he touched the Fortune Hunter's arm as he passed. "Later on,* come to the study, and we'll have a little chat," he said in a friendly fashion. The Fortune Hunter followed Anne into the hall; he would have given a great deal to avoid this tete-a-tete, but it was so obviously e*p?*etrd of him that he dared raise no objection. _ Hut !?he seeined instinctively^o feel his unwillingness, for she turned and looked up at him with a little hurt look ill her eyes. "Perhaps you would rather not co out?" He answered hurriedly: "No no. 1 should like it; the house is so warm."

She let him fold j Hep m it silently, and they walked Jon..<jQwn the sloping lawn, till they f stood by the water's edge. r There were twinkling lights from a houseboat on the opposite bank, and the muffled sound of a gramophone. otherwise the night was perfectly still, save for the lap, lap of the water against the bank. The Fortune Hunter looked up at the misty moon, and his thought slipped back along the chain of years that were gone, with a half wistful, half cynical amusement. Who would have thought that fate would ever land him here? in an ideal English heme, amid every comfort and luxury?he, a vagrant fortune hunter, who had run the gamut of life, and who bore its scares on his very soul. He wondered what the girl at his side was thinking: what she would say if he could take her with him in his thoughts, step by step, and show her the dark places of his life through which he had struggled. He felt her shiver and turned quickly. "You are cold?" "Yes. I should like to go in." Her voice was strained and hurt, and the Fortune Hunter frowned heavily in the darkness and bit his lip. He put out his arm and would i have drawn her into its circle but i that she resisted. "I don't understand you; you are' so strange! I thought?after all your letters . . Her voic$ broke on a sound of tears, and she stopped for a moment, trying desperately to recover herself. Thsn she went on more quietly. "I suppose, in spite of everything, I must seem a great deal changed to you; but I did warn you, and you said It would make no difference. And I thought when I saw you that we were just going to take things up where we left off?that's how it seems as if It ought to be to* me. but . . ." Ths Fortune Hunter made a passionate guesture of helplessness; the pain in her voice angered him. and he took the only way he knew by which to soothe her doubt and fear?he put his arms round her and held her fast to his heart. "I suppose I'm afraid of you," he said, and his agitation was real enough. "I suppose all the time I'm wondering why it is anyone so j ?so?sweet as you are could even look at a?a man like me. I'm not worth caring about. If you only; knew I . . She laid her hands on his lips, silencing him. "We said we would never speak of it again. It's all done with and forgotten. You're here and?I love I you.1^ Her voice sank to a whisper, and she hid her face on his breast. For a moment the Fortune Hunter stood Silent, then he deliberately put his hand beneath her. chin; he raised her face and bent his head, kissing her again and again passionately. "I love you. too," he said. "I love you, too." There was a little rapturous silence, then she looked up at him in the moonlight, her face radiant once more. "Now I'm quite, quite happy again." she said. "John, are you happy, too?" \ He pressed her head down to his shoulder so that she could not see his face as he answered: "Happier?<3od knows?than I deserve to be." And then presently he sent her back to the house. (Te Ba C?ati???4 Teaerrew.) CHEERING FRENCH MOBS GREET YANKS TOCLOUSE. Aug. 1?
