that there are no papers of ANY

"A wanderer, perhaps" said the
Fortune Hunter grizzly. with every
reason for wishing to hide bis ident-

Anne blushed, the tears .springing
to her eyes, and the Fortune Hunter
realized how painful his words must
have been to her. His eyes shot her

smiled.

The Fortune Hunter glanced down
at her ~
Godfrey Foster" he echoed
vaguely. His thoughts had been far
enough away, and It was only when
he saw the color rise in her cheeks
and the hurt expression of her eyes
that he hastened to add: Il should
hope he WON'T"
But for the moment he had quite
forgotten that Foster was the name
mentioned by the landlord at the inn
as the man who had wished to
marry Anne.

himself angrily. Sooner or later

abruptly. land I'm keeping you up

held out his hand. Goodnight,
Johnr'
But now the Fortune Hunter
could. not meet his eyes. and his re-
ply was almost inaudible as he
turned and walked out of the room.
He went upstairs to his room,
feeling like a thief. He was dog
tired. but he never closed his eyes
all night. Conscience, which had

tortured him.
When 1t began to get light he got
up and sat down by the window
watching the grey mist slowly lift
ing from the garden and river and
the first streak Of sunshine creeping
wanly through.
ct will go away" he told himself.
The thing is impossible. viii not
stay"
And yet when he was dressed and
out in the garden, walking about
amongst the flowers. his resolution
wavered.
1t was fate that had thrown him
here. and he believed In fate.
He would stay yet n little while
and risk what happened. 1t was
Heaven to be treated once more as
a gentleman and to see love in a

And then. from one of the upper
windows of the house. Anne herself
called to him. smiling down with
the sunshine in her eyes and upon
her hair. and the heart of the For
tune Hunter beat fast as he called
up to her rather unsteadily: Come
down-you're so far away up there

she Joined him in the garden al
most at once. slipping a hand shyly
through his arm.
You're still here then. You're

frightened about his arm.
II will not let you say that. You
promised me that there was to be

It's not SO easy to kill the past
as some Of us WISH" he answered
rather dreariiy.
She interrupted swiftly.
But II is killed-it is dead! The
past can not come back, don't think
of IL. I won't. I'm SoinV to look
forward now-only forward"
The Fortune Hunter @ t. no re-
ply. but he thought of the foxy eyes
OF the man Fernie whom he had
seen last night. and a breath OF ap-
prshensinn sweDt through him.
And that's breakfast" Anne said
as a bell rang through the house
Are you hungry? l am-and here's

Tommy waited for them at the

with desperate eyes.
The initials ~. s." were painted
in amateurIsh large letters on the
side of each box. and bore beside
the label of a well-known cross-At-
lantic steamer, on which he himself
had once worked a passage home.
He smiled bitterly at the irony of It
all.

suddenly. She had been standing
by silently, and now she turned and
led the way into the dining room.
Mr.. Harding was already seated.
