"Very well, but you'll have to do the talking." They strolled along side by side. "Last night," Annie said after a mo ment, "after I came in from the garden, Uncle Clem asked me what do you think" "Couldn't possibly guess!" "When we were going to be mar ried." There was a hint cf laughter in tier voice that struck strangely on his heart; he glanced at her quickly betore he answered quieuy: Did he? And what did you say?" "What could I say? I told him to ask you it's what we agreed, wasn't it?" "Ye .' He bit his lip and frowned. "And what shall I tell him?" he asked uncertainly. She laughed at that, but rather nervously. "Tell him anything you like. I don t nund. He put his hand through her arm, drawing close to his side. "You were so far away before, he complained. They walked a little way in si lence, till the narrow footpath turned abruptly, bringing them again to the edge of the island on the other side overlooking the main stream. . A little steam launch was chug ging here way fussily through the glistening water, driven by a man in a blazer coat and flannels. Anne gave a little exclamation, and moved as if to draw back. "That's Geoffrey Foster," she said quicky. "Oh, lock! He's seen us." The man had turned and was looking towards them, and Anne waved b,er hand. . ' . , "So that's Geoffrey Foster, is it? the Fortune Hunter said; "there was a suspicion of jealousy in his voice. "Is that his launch?" "Yes. He's very eligible, you know," she said mischievously. They looked after the little craf til it had chugged its way out of sight; then Anne asked suddenly: "John what was your first thought when you knew you had got all that, money?" - ,.,. There was a moment of blank si lence. "All that money!" the Fortune Hunter echoed, and his thoughts went back painfully to the momen. when he had sat on the stile, his face turned to the sunset, and real ized that 28 shillings was all he possessed in the world. "Yes." She was looking out over the river with dreamy eyes. "It was like a fairy story, wasn't it? Uncle Clem didn't believe it when I told him; he said such things anly happened in books. He isn't a bit mercenary, really, yon know, but I think I do think he wouldn t have been half so so reconciled to us if you'd still been poor." The For tune Hunter found his voice with an effort. "That's the way of the world," he said bitterly. "Money! All money! You're no good with out it." ' "It made no difference to me, she said. "I was only glad because it meant that you would come home. John were you glad, too?" . He looked away from her. It I was, it was only forthe same rea son," he answered heavily, "because I could come home. iu tu-t fnllr-nw Poster ever been on this island with you?" he de-. manded. "Once. I was here, and he saw me and landed. I was angry, and he never came again." He looked down at her with moody eves. . . There was a dull jealousy rising in his heart jealousy of all that he did not know about this girl, and per haps never could known. Twenty-four hours ago less he had never seen this girl, or heard her tvomo and now. for her sake he was prepared to gamble with everything that life held lor tnem Dom. 'TcnV it lunch time?" she asked. suddenly. "Do you know I'm hungry? I think it s because I m so nappy. "And you're happy because I'm here?" he asked, quickly. She nodded, and moving away from him led the way back to the punt. And it's not on'y this one morn ing we've got," she said, suddenly, as he took her hand to help her to her seat among the cushions, "it's every morning of our lives, isn't it?" Th Fortune Hunter -could not answer. He drew her into his arms and held her fast, V "ViMi'll never etnn lovinir ' Trie. Promise! Promise!" he said, almost wildly. Then he laughed, kissea ner and let her go. "I think happiness has gone to my head, he said, shakily. He hardly spoke as they went home. Tfwnmw A tn- tlim t th nrt! of the garden. He wared something at tie fortune tinnter as tney crew near the lawn. "KeysP he said, triumphantly. 'Keysl I wasn't going to be done, eA T trr rl A X mm im 9r 1mA ma ye Ht't ot bunches and bunches of keys, and one of them opened your big box." There was a moment of silence, then, to Anne's amazement, the For tune Hunter took a quick step for ward, snatching the bunch of keys from Tommy's hand. 'How dare you interfere with any thing of mine?" he said savagely; his face was distorted with passion. "If I want the boxes, open, I am quite capable of doing it for myself." Then he broke off, catching his breath hard. "I beg your pardon," he stam mered; he looked at Anne. "I lost my temper; what did I say? Tommy, it's all right. I . . .." Tommy had turned abruptly and was limping away up the garden; no body had ever spoken to him so angrily before; he had always been spoiled and pampered and led to be lieve that everything he did was right and justifiable. He was furious at the Fortune Hunter's outburst. Anne had flushed in distress. "Tommy didn't mean any harm," she said quickly. "I know he ought not to have touched anything ot yours, but I am sure he only did it to please you; he thought you wanted the boxes opened. Mr. Fertile has dozens 'of keys of all sorts it's a queer hobby of his to collect keys and I am sure Tommy only did it to please you, John." "I know." The Fortune Hunter looked wretched and ashamed. After a second's hesitation he broke into a run, overtook the boy's halting figure, and laid a hand on his arm. "I'm sorry, old chap; I'm a bar; it was awfully decent of you to bother about me; thanks ever so much." Tommy shook his hand off. "I'm sorry I touched your beastly boxes," he said fiercely. "They're no interest to me. If you've got anything to hide, you might have said so, and then we should "have known where we were. " His face was hard and peaked In its anger; he turned abruptly away without another word. If you've got anything to hide! The words hit the Fortune Hunter hard; how. he loathed the whole beastly business, and his own weak ness which would not allow him to break free from the fetters he had forged. Anne joined him and they walked back to the house together. She was rather pale, and she kept her eyes averted. "You're angry with me," the For tune Hunter said bluntly when they were in the hall. "You're quite right to be angry with me. I behaved like a cad." She turned eagerly. "You didn't I How can you s;.y such things? You were quite right to be angry. Tommy ought not to have opened your things, but he didn't mean any harm." "I know, I'm sorry." He felt absurdly sore over the whole incident. He had had no in tention of ever opening those locked boxes in the empty room upstairs. There was a strange sort of super stition in his heart about them but now his hand had been forced, and he knew that, sooner or later, the thing would have to be done. Tommy sat through luncheon silent and frowning, and all attempts to rouse him failed. Afterwards Mr. Harding followed the Fortune Hunter from the room and touched his arm. "I'm sorry Tommy annoyed you. John; it was thoughtless of him. He had no right to touch your boxes. I'm afraid it was thebear skin that made him so eager." "It didn't matter in the least," was the abrupt reply. "I lost my temper like a fool I I'm sorry. Tommy shall have his bear skin." But, all the same, he could not bring himself to go up to the room where John Smith's luggage stood, and the afternoon passed slowly away. The beautiful morning had turned to gray, showery weather, and the river looked sullen and de serted. (Continued in The Evening Bee Tomorrow.)
