(Cwitlaiaed frees Veeterdar.)
The Fortuna Hunter stood where
she had Uft him, too wretched to
think or move. The world . had
(one awry, but the fault, was his,
and he must get out of hjt trouble in
the best way he could.
But it set him trembling- like
5irl when he found a note no his
utsing table that night, addressed
in Anne's writing, and for a long
time he stood looking ot it, afraid
to open it and read.
Why had she written? Was it
a real dismissal this time His
hand shook when at last he unfolded
it
"Dear John I am just writing to
ask you if you will please let things
go on for a little while longer as
they are, and to say that it will be
kind if you will help me let people
think that nothing is wrong between
us. This evening uncle saw mc
crying, and he asked what was the
matter. He was angry and blamed
you; he said he would speak to you
about it, and I could not bear that!
So, please, no matter how you really
feel towards me, if you could let
everyone think it is all right for a
little while longer it will help me a
great deal. Anne."
The Fortune Hunter dropped the
poor little note and hid his face in
his hands. "No matter how you
feel towards me. . . ."
Had he. then, acted so well that
he had really deceived her into the
belief that he did not care?
He longed to answer her letter
with all the ' passionate despair of
his heart, but he did not darc lie
could only think bitterly that she
was cleverer than he when, the next
morning she met him with a gay
little smile and asked how they
should spend the day.
lommy and Mr. Harding were
both in the room, and the Fortune
Hunter felt that they were watching
him, as he answered with an' effort
that he felt lazy, and that the river
would be the best place. She laughed
at that.
"We've spoiled you since you came
home," she said. "And if you come
on the river with me you'll have to
do all the work, I promise ycu."
She chatted away all breakfast-
lime, but the Fortune Hunter was
not in the least deceived. She had
net forgiven him or forgotten! In
reality things were' just as unhappy
and strained between .them, but for
the sake of what the others in the
house would think she meant to play
the game. ,
"Do you really want to go to the
river?" he asked her as soon as they
were alone, and she looked up with
raised brows as she answered:
'Do I really want to go? How
ungallant, John I Why, of course,
I do." ' ' '
But before they could start a
heavy shower of rain came and
made it out of the question.
How very unkind of the weath
er. Anne said as she stood looking
out of the window onto the dripping
garden. 'But never mindl We will
go for a walk instead."
. When he protested that the ram
Was too heavy she would not listen.
"It's good for the complexion, and
I like getting wet. If you're afraid
to come, say so." She looked at him
with laughing eyes.
Eut the Fortune Hunter could not
fall in with her mood; it made her
seem farther from him even than
yesterday, whem. she had made her
broken appeal that they might start
again.
"I found your1 little note in my
room last night," he said ,with an
effort, as they left the house.
"Oh, did you?" She spoke as if
the matter were of no importance.
"I thought it would be better if we.
had, some sort of understanding. We
might just as well pretend to be good
friends, don't you 4hink?"
"Don't talk like that!" he said,
agitatedly.
"Why not?" She laughed a little.
"You take things far too seriously,
you know."
"You were serious yourself yes
terday," he reminded her painfully.

CONTRACTOR IS

FEELING FINE
Lincoln Man Recovers From
Trouble After Seven
Years' Standing.
W. T. Beilharz, a well-known con
tractor, 2000 J St., Lincoln, Neb., is
now an ardent champion of Tanlac.
He says:
"For seven years, at different
periods, I was subject to attacks of
lumbago and for two or three
months each year my back and left
leg- hurt me so' I could hardly stand
it. I had awful spells of weakness,
too, and-would just give out and
drop to my knees.
"Two weeks after I took my first
dose of Tanlac I was able to go
back to work for the first time in
more than two months. I have an
appetite like a bear now, my stomach-is
as sound as a dollar and I
sleep like a log all night long. The
good Tanlac did me can't be meas
ured in dollars and cents."
Tanlac is sold in Omaha by the
Sherman & McConnell Drug Co.
and by leading druggists everywhere.

"I was not goinir to say that, we
could come to tome sort of ar.
rangement."
"Arrangement 1" he echoed the
word blankly.
"Yes. After all," she broke out
vehemently, "there must be some
thing else in life besides disappoint
ment! I seem to have had very little
else so far." They walked a little
wav in silence, then the Fortune
Hunter said suddenly:
"Anne when you knew I was com
ing back were you were you honestly-glad?"
"I think I was more afraid
than anything," she said at last. "You
see, uncle and everyone were so-sure,
first of all. that you would not come
and then that if you did i should not
care for you."
"And you did care for mc?" he
slid, rather hoarsely. She looked up
at him with hard eyes.
"I cared for you so much, she an
swered, "that it seemed as if I had
got everything in the world I wanted;
but now if 1 could tear every mem
ory of you out of my life and forget
that 'we had ever met, I would do it
gladly! I hate suffering I want
to be happy. I want" Then she
laughed lightly. "But now we're se
rious again, and I made up my mind
I would be serious no more. Lookl
There's a rainbow I Isn't it pretty
over the water?"
"Yes." But he hardly glanced where
she pointed.
"There's ju9t one thing," Anne said
presently, and there was a little
nervous note in her voice as she
spoke. "I think I am almost sure
that Uncle Clem is going to ask
you about about our wedding, she
caught her breath. "If he does,
promise me please promise me
that you won't tell him anything 1
Not anything!"
"Is there anything to tell?" ,the
Fortune Hunter asked bitterly.
Their wedding! In his maddest
moments he had never allowed his
thoughts to go as far as that. It
was a wild, impossible dream which
perhaps would haunt his lonely pillow
in the future when he wandered back
again down the road by which he had
come into this girl's life.

Common Sense
By J. J. MUNDY.
Who Pays?
If you do not have to furnish the
money, does it count for nothing
when someone else pays the bill? '
In figuring up the weekly expense
account with her mother, a young
girl was heard to say: "But that did
not cost anything, mother, you re
member that daddy brought it home
with him."
If it did not come out of the week
ly allowance it counted for nothing
in money to the daughter who at
some future time may be a mother
herself and possibly not well pro
vided for as she is at home now.
There are a lot of grown ups who
tie !iort-igliteJ and thought
lr. If it need not e paid for this
week it costs nothing so far is they
are concerned.
And th next week It is the same
way, and each week there are things
bought and provided in one way or
another which are accepted and
utd, thanklessly, and absolutely not
appreciated from a pecuniary stand
point. Are you actually supporting your,
self or are you constantly getting
something out of another of which
you give and take no account?
Remember, somebody pays, if you
don't.
