She suw that he looked ill, nnd des perately unhappy, mid her heart ached for him; she would have followed him Inte the garden after brenkfast, but that Mr. Harding forestalled her and called te the Fortune Hunter te wait for him as he strolled off alone across the grass. The Fortune Hunter turned, bracing himself with nn effort, mid Mr. Hard lug laid a friendly hand en his firm. "Is unythliig the matter) Jehn?" he iibked in kindly fashion.
