convention of the National League
of Women of Voters yesterday in.
terested themaedves in the fight be
ing made in Iowa for a maximum
hour law for women in industry.
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."
A mass meeting was held tonight.
t which Mrs. Manel Wood t'ark ot
Washington, president of . the Na
tional League of Women Voters,

Anne came downstairs after tea
in mackintosh and small woolen
hat. "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.

Anne hid her (ace. He would be
killed she thought wildly, and hoped
that she would die, too. She could
feel the hot breath of the horse as
it snorted past her: afraid new of its
own strength; heard the ring of the
hoofs deaden again as it crossed the
bridge and gained the roadway once
more, and then suddenly it stopped.
She looked up; the Furtune Ifun
ler had the horse under control; he
Stood beside jt, patting its steaming
neck, talking to it soothingly. . The
man Fernie had slipped to the
ground; he was white and shaken;
he could not find his voice when
Anne rushed to join them. .
She looked at John. "Ycu are
not hurt. I thought I was afraid
you would be hurt."
He laughed. "It was nothing!"
He turned to Fernie. "What, fright
ened the poor brute?" he asked.
F'erhie found his voice with an ef
fort. "The Lord only knows;
cursed brute! She's never dc-ne it
before!"
He wiped his sweating face with a
shaking hand. "Will you lead her
back to the inn for me?" he asked.
"I'll not ride her again."
They walked back over the bridge
together, the Fortune Hunter lead
ing the trembling horse, and nothing
more was said till they reached the
inn, then old F'ernie. looking up at
him, said: "And who have I to thank
for for the fact that I'm still alive?"
His voice was faintly ironical, but
his eyes were not unkindly as he
looked at the young man's flushed
face.
Anne came forward. "This is my
fiance, Mr. Fernie," she said quiet
ly. "Mr. John Smith."
ihere was a moments silence,
then the old man bowed with ra
ther exaggerated courtesy.
I. am-pleased to meet you, Mr
John Smith, and perhaps some dav

we have met for. the first time in
such auspicious circumstances," he
said dryly.

Anne shivered. "Does he? I

"Oh, come. He was civil enough
this afternoon," '
"Was he? There's something
abcut his eyes" she broke off to
add after a moment, "don't lei us
talk about him; and John"
"If you if you could make It up

The Fortune Hunter frowned

him. I lost my temper, I admit
I'll find him when we get back."
