THE STORY so FAR

The Fortune Hunter, twenty
eight years old and broke, after
q fortnight tramping through
England. stumbled over the
body Of q dead man in a wood.
He peered into the face and
found that in features the dead
man had been much like him
self. The two were of about the
same height and weight. He
picked Of a leather pocketbOolk.
On the flyleaf OF an old photo

hair he found the unfortunate
mans name, John Smilh." A
letter revealed that this girl had
been waiting for the man for
ten years ut Cherry Lodge,

name signed was "Anne."

was beginning to realize that. al
though she loved this man with

did not understand him.
She knew vaguely that the past
years must have embittered and
changed him, and yet-there were
moments when he was like a
stranger to her, q man whom she
was meeting for the first time.
She wanted to put something Of
her thoughts into words. to ap-
peal to him to make her under

confide In her and talk to her
of all that he felt; but some.
how she was afraid.
He had written such beautiful
letters during the years Of their
separation, and now 1t seemed
impossible that he could ever
have been the writer. She had
pictured that theirs would be
marriage Of mutual trust and
understanding; that he would
keep nothing from her; that he
would pour out all his sorrows
and sufferings to her; but there
had not been one word said.
