HER FORTUNE

II thought you were travelling with
the Burmans," he said, carelessly.
They waited over" she explained.
They brought me to the boat; but
they will remain in town at least a
month longer"
Il wish they would remain away for
keeps" said Holdings amiably. 1T was
Mrs. Burman who played this trick on
me. She wants you for Billy and she
put the fortune teller, up to all that
rot"
What do you mean?" gasped Vir-
GINA. She had thought that only Mrs.
Burman and herself knew of the visit
to the gypsy camp.
II mean that Mrs. Burman paid a
visit to the camp before she took you
there" explained Hollings. 'She knows
how superstitious you are, and she

But she did, persisted Holdings.
when you suddenly grew cold toward
me, I knew that some trio k was
played. I made the old woman confess
that she had been bribed to warn a
young woman that the man she ex-
pected to be engaged to was already
secretly married and a lot of rot like
that. Mrs. Burmans counted on your
belief in such things to turn you from
me, and then there was Billy to pop
in and win. don't suppose you know
that the Burmans held back so that
Billy might have a. clear field tonight

Despite Sans doubts as to whether
he and Miranda's hat could both get
into the buggy, it was managed some-
how. Miranda chatted gayly, but it
was of things which had never come
within Sans horizon.
Don't call me Miranda" she said,
when he had addressed some remark
to her; "cal me Myra.''
What for?" Sam demanded. There

tested.

difference"
That, week was a checkered one in
Sans experiences; and, as he sat on
the doorstep the day after Miranda's
return to the city thinking things
over, he could not tell whether it had
given him more of pleasure or dis
satisfaction

Before Virginia could answer the

and dislikes. made the selections.
Only once did Virginia atterrp t to
rebel, and that was as the waiter
turned away. She made as though to
check him.. but again her courage

wondered how long she would stay
he writhed at the possibilities Of this
last conjecture. He wondered how
she would like the rich city chaps
whom she would be sure to meet.
The weeks dragged slowly by,
punctuated by occasional letters from
Miranda, which Sam laboriously
answered. Most of them read: II write
to let you know that I am we'll and
hope you are the same" style, and
really told very little.
Finally, however, one came which
said that Miranda would be home on
the following Monday to spend a week.
On the day named Sam arrived at
the station nearly an hour ahead of
time. He hurried eagerly forward as
tho train pulled in, but he had to peer
under the wide expanse of hat, sur
mounted by nodding red roses, which
be sure that the wearer was really

How do, Mirandy," he said awk-
wardly, the pleasure he could not ex-
press beaming from his face

cased in long black cotton glove.
Though Sam made no comment, 1t
struck him as being rather strange that
Miranda should address him as Mr..

must be a way city folks had.

1T will be impossible to discover the

Where did you get that word mis-

"You found that lately, didn't you?"

presently Laura and Joe went down

than they had been. Red had car

secrets.

and surveyed the forlorn figure on the
doorstep.

"Guess not" Sam replied laconically.

said to herself. as she returned to the
kitchen and resumed the washing Of
the supper dishes; "it's Mirandy.''
Sam crossed the meadow and seated
himself on bank in the edge of the
wood, where he and .Mirandy had
found some early arbutus the day be-
fore she left. If he had not been too
big a coward that day to ask the ques-
ton which trembled on his lips maybe
she would not have gone away.
The blossoms beside him sent up
their delicate perfume, telling of the
mass of pink and white beauty thai lay
just beneath the dry leaves, but he had
no thoughts for them now.
He wondered how Miranda would

climate in no measured terms, but In
reality the grievance underlying his
illhumor was the fact that he had
heard nothing from Miranda for more
than three weeks.
"Sam," his father said one morning,
Jim Watkins says the melons are rot
ting in his patch, and being as ours
didn't come up, we can get all we
want from there. You might take the
wheelbarrow and bring load this
morning.
The Watkins farm was Mirandas
home, and as Sam trundled his wheel
barrow along the well-known path, his
mind was a chaos Of tender memories
of the past and bitter resentment or
the present.
He entered the melon patch and
Strengthened himself for general sur
vey. when suddenly he caught
glimpse Of blue Bingham, and tnere
under a tree, with a partly eaten
melon beside her, sat Miranda, the

will look over in the far corner Of
the room, you will see the beloved

remarkably like young woman of

II suppose that he figures that he
can suddenly discover you on board
after dinner. Then he can get the pro-
posal Off his mind, and as you will
probably want to turn in early, therell
be a chance to spoon on deck with the
chorus lady afterward."
Virginia half turned in her seat and
flushed as she saw that what Holdings
said was true.
II don't see what makes you think
that Mrs. Burman wants to marry
Billy off," she fenced. ''She told me
Just the other day that she hoped that
he would not marry for some years

"And all the time she, is planning

than I have. but as a matter Of fact
old Burman has raised every penny
he can rake and scrape and he hasn't
enough to pull through on"
The arrival Of the dinner furnished
Virginia with welcome diversion.
She could think for a moment while
the waiter placed the dishes, and a
brief glance backward showed her
that Hollings probably was right.
She knew that Mr.. Burman was
worried and that the son had been
very attentive. She though of the
visit to the gypsy camp. and the dark
warning Of the old crone who told her
fortune.
It had all been very mysterious and
semi consciously she had developed an
aversion for Holdings because of the
vague warning against him. The for
tune telling episode had taken place
before he arrived at the summer re-
sort, and the old woman could not
possibly have described him SO accur-

those mysterious transactions, and Red
finally made for the elevator with the
feeling that he had wasted his time.
It was with a. gloomy face that he
met Terhune in the morning. II didn't
land him last night" he reported,
"but I'll get him before the week is
out or my name is not Red"
Terhune laughed at the promise and
went to his desk. 1t was dispirited
body of clerks at the desks. Gliding
always meant what he said and some
of the employees began to look around
for other jobs with a sort Of helpless
resignation to fate. Only Red MAIN
tanned his cheerful optimism, though
his Investigations proceeded slowly.
The week was almost gone, and as
the clerks prepared to leave the office
