BILE for It all.
She had said good night to the
Fortune Hunter with a cold touch
Of her hand. not daring to raise
her eyes to his, and now she was
longing with all her heart to go
downstairs again and put her arms
round his neck and sob out all her
misery.
Tommy had been sulky all day.

half-angry yees. put for the first
time In her life she was not sorry
for the way in which she had
turned on him.
How dared he spy on John?
Her face burned now as she
thuoght Of the humiliation she had
suffered when he showed her that
letter. Of the jealousy that had been
torturing her ever since.
John had said that he did not
know Irenie! 1t was q lie; It must
have been lie; and yet-his eyes
had met her steadfastly enough
when he said It and there had
been no shame in his face.
She went to the window, and,
drawing aside the blind, looked out
into the garden. y
II only she had said goodnight
to him! II only she had kissed
him! The constraint Of that day
seemed to have made an impass-
able gulf between them which
could not be bridged.
She turned out the light, and,
drawing the blind up. knelt down
at the open window in the dark
ness.
There was still q light IN the
drawing room below. still the
sound Of voices. and, presently
Tommy came down the steps from
the French window and limped
away across the lawn.
He was q queer boy-sometimes
a. Anne knew. he spent half the
night wandering round the coun-
tryside. or down at Long End Cot
ago with Fernie. He never did
things In q rational way like other
people. and she wondered II per.
haps she had been q little hard on
him. II her own unhappiness had
caused her to be unjust.

A RECONCILIATION.
Anne strained her ears for the
Fortune Hunters voice. but no
reply was audible. and presently
all was silent below.
Dared she 60 down to himf A
she knelt there. trembling. in the
darkness. the silence Of the night
was broken by the muffled sound
Of the piano in the room below. a.
II some one was playing with the
soft pedal down; but 1t was suf-
ficiently loud for Anne to hear the
tune. and the tears rose to her
eyes a. she recognised It and
recognized 1t and remembered the
words to which It was set'-
There are some who keep to the

There are those who wander down

Yes, I'll go on"
"All right down there with Mr.!
Gregg. Breull?" the voice Of
Wythe hailed down.
The Swiss. as he replied. noted
that the first impulse Of his COM
panion had been to run up the
slope as the hail came. but then
the young man governed himself.
Breuil observed that he climbed
easily and we'll within his
strength, but he made no effort
to overtake the two In advance,
though they often rested.

CHAPTER III.
The Talk on the Ledge.

They were still ahead when. at
/ o'clock. the people at the chalet
called each others attention to
the fact that Margaret Alden and
the Senator were standing on the
summit and signaling that they
were safe. Gregg and the guide
were the dark spots plainly in
sight below. Wythe's and Gregg's
figures were still indistinguish-
able. of course. but every one
knew which would be with the
girl, II one was alone with her.
Stephen Gregg, as he looked
down toward the hotel and eaw
the crowd replying to the signals
from the summit, realized this.
Since his arrival in the mountains.

utter misery in his face that she
hesitated no longer; she ran across
to him and fell on her knees be-
side him.
"John-John!' She spoke his
name in a little sobbing whisper.
and with stifled cry his arms
closed around her.
He did not speak. and he made
no attempt to kiss her: he just

she went on. only too eager now
to pour out her love to him.

Anne turned away without an

defense of the Fortune Hunter,
she was sick with dread and
jealousy; but she went across
the garden and out into the road,
never stopping or looking back

Then all at once her courage
