And he took It with Win out Inte the garden, walking nway (Tem the heuse down the flower-bordered pathway as he opened it. He had received he few letters In his life. It would have been difficult dur ing many of hi roving years te huve given any ejic an address te which te write. "Somewhere In AuHrnlla," "In the slums of New Yerk." "In the lanes and fields of England"; It would lmve te have been Something vague and Impos sible like that. And It gave him a curious feeling of respectability as he looked down at the obviously feminine writing that credited him with such an address. He opened the envelope, aud took out Its centent1? reluctantly. "Dcarcit I have been in Londen mere than a week new, and se flir jeu have het kept your premise or writ ten te me, though I have carried out everything you told me te de. nnd am at the addrCKs jeu gave me.

The fortune Hunter walked up te her; he knew quite well that bhc nad seen him already, and hln voice was jerky and nervous as lie spoke. "It's n lovely morning, Anne." It was a futile thing te sny. he knew, when se much tragedy luy be tween them, and yet for the life of him he could find no ether words. She looked up; her eyes were licuvj and shadowed, as if bhc had been cry ing, and her lips trembled as she an swered him. "Yes; you were up early.

It was an inexplicable thing, but the dread was conviction in her heart. ' The gong rang for a second time nnd Anne turned. "That means that undo Is waiting, and he hates te be kept waiting. They walked te the heuse together. As they nearcd It the Fortune Hunter baid in desperation ; "Anne are jeu going te forgive rac?" She looked up, her eyes misty with tears. "Forgive you?" "Ycr for for for even thine. I i can't go en like this: It's impossible. I Anne jeu don't love me if " He I broke off before (lie reproach ln hei i face. "I think jeu mean that you don't love me?" she said very quietly, then she passed him and went Inte the house. She gave him no chance te speak te her alone ngaln until nearly lunch time; she made duties for herself that kept her busy about the house; lie kuew that she was avoiding him, nnd the knowl edge almost drove lilm mad. His faee was whlte and strained ' when at last he caught her for a me- i ment at the feet of the stairs; he steed below, barring the way with out- stretched arms. "Yeu're avoiding me deliberately. Anne, are you going te forgive me? If you only knew If I could only ex plain. " He broke off help lessly. Her eye senrched his agitated face coldly. "Well, veu can explain. I am ready te listen." The Fortune Hunter passed n hand across his eyes; be knew that she was driving him into u comer from which presently there would be no possible cs cape, and yet bis instinct was still te fight her, because he feared the less of her love. He could net face that; it was the greatest thing life had tjrer given te him, nnd he clung te it desperately, unable te see in his blindness that It was his truth she wanted, that shu could forgive everything else if only lie was honest with her. "If you leve me," she said, her eyes en his, "you would net He te me." She waited, but he did net apeak, and with a little scornful smile she turned nway and left him.
