Meg Morton--Fortune Hunter---By May Edginton

"Does the girl actually think I'm
fortune huntingi For my Doni
MY DON'T"
She did not press further the
subject Of the introduction, and
when her visitor rose rather
abruptly to go, only said, some
what conventionally:
"Any way, dear, II you mean to
roam, let me know Of your plans,
won't you? We have been so in
terested in each other these weeks
and you mustn't let me lose you
altogether"
The promise was given, Meg
Morton went out to her car. Dur
ing the ten-mile drive to Thesiger
she sat back in a corner, staring
out at the flying hedgerows under
the light Of the Winter moon. Her
cheeks were red, not only with the
cold air; her eyes bright with In
sistent tears. A ghost Of memory
that she was foreyA trying fierce
ly to slay leaped up and rode with
her in her car.
She slid her hand under her
motor coat and found the little sill

the portrait at the two women.

CHAPTER XII.
TISS MARGARET MORTON.

n Mss MARGARET MORTON,
~NI Of Thesiger, was calling
~ upon old Lady Warder, of
Will Hill. There was a sincere
friendship between the girl who
had, from dire poverty, recently
come into possession of Thesiger
and $4,000 year, and the sweet
old woman who lived alone at Will
Hill. The Winter afternoon was
drawing in, and in the hall where
they sat at tea only the fire famed
to throw light on the nearly black
oak settles and table, and on the
girls beautiful face.
She wore splendid furs, and her
heavy motoring coat, thrown open,
revealed two ornaments that hung
round her neck on slender chains,
making rather quaint contrast.
One was an exquisite miniature of
Lady Warder, set in old paste,
which had been given to Miss Nor
ton a week or two before, in re-
sponse to her request for a photo
graph; the other was a silver mas
cot in the shaps of a tiny Teddy
bear, which, said the gossip Of the
neighborhood, never left Miss
Morton, night or day. The neigh
borhood did not yet understand
the idiosyncrasies of this girl, who,
coming into it as old Thesiger's
secretary, had inherited all his for
tune; nor did she, apparently, care
much to understand the neighbor-
hood, with the exception of old
Lady Warder, who had found her
advances met gladly.
The old woman was looking very
happy. =, -, .....,

All color had left his lean face.
He was looking at her with gaze
almost agonized in its intensity,
waiting for her word. 1t came
gaspingly. .,...

hurt and reckless: 81 don't care
what other women do. / am not

He stepped back from her.
Is that your decision, Miss
Morton?" he asked in an altered
voice. 80.
''Yes," she answered, rallying.
81 thank you for your offer Of the
travel, the hunting, the fiat In town
and Thesiger, but they're not
enough to buy heart, you know.
You stipulated when you engaged
me that the usual commercial
woman would not do. Well, ! am
not commercial. / know what this
means, of course--I'll have to 20.
I'll go to-morrow-you'll find hun
dreds ready to fill my place-or,
as you suggest, any other place
you offer them"
"Please stay" he said, "till the
day after tomorrow, anyway.
There is that society about which
we are in the midst of investiga-
tions, and since you don't want
Thesiger, somebody else must have
it, | suppose. Something imper-
sonal, like these charities. / feel
sure you can endure me till the
day after tomorrow"
She nodded acquiescence, not
trusting her voice again. He put
his hands on her shoulders, adding
very softly:
"a d two days may perhaps
cause you to reconsider this senti-
mental young decision Of yours"
She shook her head at that and
went out hastily, leaving Thomas
Thesiger, white-faced, erect and
smiling to himself on the hearth
rug.
They worked together as usual
all the next morning. After lunch
a visitor came for Thesiger and
was shown into the library, while
the secretary waited in the dining
room to learn her employers
wishes for the rest of the day. Her
head ached and her heart ached.
She thought of London, great, inn
personal, cold; and of her own
coming immersion in the whirlpool
of its competition. There seemed
no sun anywhere.
She looked out with changed
eyes at a changed world. Thesiger
had lost its peace and security for
her. She waited in the red dining
room till she heard the library
door open across the hall and
voices issuing. The visitor was
evidently leaving. She reused her
self and left the room. Thesiger
was escorting a dark, elderly man
to the door. She got fleeting inn
preston of him as they passed her.
81 will be there in a moment,
Miss Morton" said Thesiger over
his shoulder, at which his compan-
ion looked round keenly at the
girl. She did not notice his in
terest, though, but entering the
library, sat down before the type
writer and waited.
Thesiger came In slowly and
stood with his back to the girl.
II don't want you to work this
afternoon" he said. 81 suppose
you intend to pack your things"
YES" she answered, looking
down, her head on her hand. D..
In moment his voice came,
very softly: "Are you intending
to pack your things?"
"Yes."
"You haven't reconsidered ?"
'No-I-it would be Just an Inn
possibility"
Quite, quite sure, little girl!"
"Yesw she jerked out, twisting
her hands in her lap.
His voice changed, became more
brisk and conventional.

CHAPTER. XII.

CHE turned hot and cold, star
ing into the big chair from
which his quiet voice came.
She felt as If a horrible calamity
had fallen upon her. Her quick
mind began rowing ahead to what
must be the results following such
a question. She must throw up
her post-she must leave this
happy haven't was terrible to
her that the old man who had in
six weeks become trusted friend
should have put this question,
which she could answer in but one
way.
The sense of disappointment in
him, in his inferred estimate of
herself in supposing, presumably,
that she would be willing to marry
him for Thesiger and his thou
sands, was bitter in her heart. She
was suddenly in such a surge of
emotions, with a lump in her
throat and tears smarting in her
eyes, that she could not speak.
There was a long silence between
them. Thesiger could see her
tragic young face in the freight,
himself in deep shadow.
"Well?" he said gently.
She found herself trying to
stammer something, but she could
only murmur brokenly, tears es-
Gaping down her cheeks. She put
up her hand to cover them.
mot crying?" he said, very
softly. He leant forward, his ell
bows on his knees, clasping and
unclasping his hands, not looking
at her. Don't cry! My dear,
dear child, don't cry"
81 shall have to go away" she
sobbed behind her hands.
But l am asking you to stay,
my uedT, Sdlu lHcoiSSl'
Her hands came down and her
wet eyes looked straight into his.
"You don't suppose I would
m-m-marry you-Mr. Thesiger!
81 don't know. Why not?"
He looked into her face search
ingly, and put his hand on hers.
She shrank back; the. whole aspect
of Thomas Thesiger was changed
for her.
"Why did you ask me?" she
stammered.
For answer he rose and drew
her to her feet, so that she faced
the glass over the mantelpiece.
They stood shoulder to shoulder,
looking in.
my dear" he said with ges-
ture, "why ask any man such a
question? And you know love
you. Can't you love me?"
She shook her head.
"Well," said Thesiger, disar-
ranging the things on the mantel
with a nervous hand, twill you
marry me without? l am not alb
horrent to you-not that"
mo! No! Now
Perhaps" he went on, 81 don't
