Iowa, it was pointed out. is one of two northern Mate without laws fixing maximum hours for women in industries. Reorganization of a committee on industry was perfected following an address by Miss Mary McDowell, welfare worker of Chicago. Miss McDowell, whose subject was "The Right to Human Leisure," pledged that the delegates stop and think of the 8,000,000 women who are wsrc earners. "The riant to leisure has to be come a statutory right," she insisted. "There are some who oppose it be cause they object to making women a protected class. There are others who oppose it because they are close to manufacturers' interests. Family life cannot be built on weary moth ers. We can't wait for benevolent manufacturers to give women reason able hours. A national law would he the fairest way of remedying the condition, Dut as yet we must uo what we can bv states."

"I'm going into the village, Will you come, John?"" she asked, He acreed readily: the house sti fled him; already he was beginning to feel that he must be out ot doors more. He was so used to freedom that there was something prison like in having to conform to the Hardings mode of living. They walked together down the village street. It was raining faster now, "Hadn't you better go back for a coat?' Anne asked, "oull get wet through. "I havent got...." The Fortune Hunter checked the words in time. I m used to ail weathers." he said, "I never take cold." There was hardly anvbodv about. A horse with a sack over its back stood riderless at the door of the inn where the Fortune Hunter had heard himself discussed last night; some ducks waddled about in the puddles and chuckled contentedly. 1 hat s Mr. Vermes horse. Anne said, more for something to say than because the matter' was of -any in terest. She felt that the little out burst between John and Tommy had made an estrangement between herself and the uut she loved. She could not understand why he had been so angry; he might have seen that Tommy had only been anxious to please. "Fernie seems to be an important man in the village," the Fortune Hunter said rather wearily. He glanced apprehensively at the closed inn door as he spoke. ' He was not in the least afraid of Fernie. although . he fully realised that the ma:i might be an unplea sant factor with which to reckon; he had never been afraid of anyone. It, was his proud boa.'t that he was master of his own fate. They walked on through the vil lage and across the bridge that spanned the-river. The same little steam launch that had passed the island only that morning came again chugging its way up the river, "Vour friend Foster." the For tune Hunter said dryly. He leaned his elbows on the sone parapet of the bridge and looked down at the little craft with moody eyes; but this time the' man in the bows did not glance up or see them. "I suppose he hates me," the For tune Hunter said cynically, wh?n the launch had passed beneath "the bridge and gone on its way. ' "He has never seen you," Anne answered gently. "Or heard of me?" he asked dry ly. She raised puzzled eyes. "Of course he has heard of vou. I told him when he asked me to there don't move; ." He rushed away from her towards the oncom ing horse; the ring of its hoofs marry him that 'it was impossible because of you." So he did ask you to marry him?" "Yes You knew that," she said, rather painfully. The Fortune Hunter leaflsfl his back against the stone parapet and looked at her steadily. "You would have done better to have taken him and forgotten me." he said abrupt))', "lies a rich man, and I. He broke off with a harsh laugh. Anne made no answer. She stood there in the rain, her hands in tho big pockets of her mackintosh, her face rather pathetic beneath the little woolen hat. She was beginning to realize that, although she loved this man with every beat of her loyal heart, she did not understand him She knew vaguely that the past years must have embittered and chanted him. and yet there were moments when he was like a strang er to her, a man whom she was meeting for the first time. She want ed to put something ot her thoughts into words, to appeal to him to make her understand him better, to ask him to confide in her and talk to her of all that he felt; but somehow she was afraid. He had written such beautiful let ters during the years of their separa tion, and now it seemed impossible that he could ever have been the writer. She had pictured that theirs would be a 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. Not one mention of the tragedy that had separated them, except that swift denial for which she herself had asked; She felt as if she stood outside the wall of his trust and con fidence. ' ' - Presently slit moved, looking back towards the village. Shall we go home?' the fortune Hunter spoke quickb. "You are angry with rue," he said, as hi had- said once before that fternoon. He put his hand through her arm but now she no longer yield ed to him. She felt stiff and-unre sisting, and he moved away again with a little rough laugh. lou are disappointed in me 1 knew you were bound to be. She began a swift denial. "I am not Johnl how can you say so; it's only . . ." Then she broke off with a little stfled cry: "Oh look!" A saddle horse was coming gallop ing wildly down the' road that led on to the bridge; its reins were dangling helplessly, and the man on its back clung in desperation round its neck and to its. mane, shouting with terror-stricken hoarseness for help. . Anne screamed, for the runaway was making straight for them on the narrow hridee. The Fortune Hunter thrutt her iristmafi If R(C.U.SR PAT.
