The Fortune Hunter tried hard to diuine liis ret!eisnet during the afternoon. But lie knew that Anne was quite well aware of it; knew that her brown eye followed bit every movement. Once or twice lie made a halfheart ed excuse to get away from her he would go and fetch the punt they had left at Long-end, he suggested, but the said at once that she would come with him. For the first time in hi life lie wanted to be by himself to go back to Fernie's cottage, and find out the truth of this sudden, new suspicion that had been born in his mind that morning If it was true . . . well, Garry Cannon's optimistic words might yet be realized, and his luck hold I They found that Fernie had dried the punt and the cushions for them and let it all ready. "That was decent of him," the For tune Hunter said. "I'll just go and thank him." But the cottage door was locked, and nobody answered his repeated knocking. Anne watched him silently: she saw the look of strained excitement in his face, and her heart sank. "I wish the old chap had been In," the Fortune Hunter said, with a last backward glance at the cottage as" he stepped into the punt. "It looks usjrracious not to thank h'm." "You thanked him this morning," Anne said sharply. "If there was any thing to thank him for!" The Fortune Hunter made no an swer as he pushed the punt out into the stream; his eyes were very bright, and there was a sort of suppressed ex citement about him of which Anne was painfully conscious. He hardjy spoke all the way home; he seemed to be lost in thought, but just as they neared the mooring at Cherry Lodge he drew the punt pole in, and came to sit down beside Anne. He took her left hand, which was lying in her lap, and held it for a moment, looking at her ringless fingers with little sorry expression in his eyes. . "I should like to give you a ring to wear in place of the one you you threw away this morning," he said abruptly. "May I? It was my riiother's " He waited, but she, did not speak, and he added, with a mirthless sort of laugh, "You need not wear it on the third finger unless you wish " ' He saw the painful color creep slowly into her face and felt her hand tremble as she drew it away. "You seem to forget that I still have one ring of yours that I have never dared to wear," she said almost in a whisper. "A ring of mine?" he echoed stiffly. "Yes you oh, 'look!" she broke off, pointing upwards and shrinking away from him as if in sudden fear. A ragged-loking black crow was hovering just above their heads, and as the Fortune Hunter glanced up wards the bird circled round so low that they could almost feel the rush of wind made by his wings. ' Then he cawed twice three times as if in hoarse mockery, and flashed away down the river. "Good Lord! What an extraor dinary thing!" the Fortune Hunter said blankly. Then he looked at Anne. "Why, what is it?" he asked quickly "Don't you know what it means?" she asked faintly. "Don't you know that there's an old superstition that if a crow circles over anyone's head and caws three times something dreadful is going to happen? Oh, I've felt it all along I've known it." He tried to laugh at her. "Why, what nonsense 1 What can happen? As if it could make any dif ference! I never thought you were so foolish, Annel" Her lips trembled. . "Don't laugh at me please I" she said;-: faintly. She sprang ashore as soon ;as the boat touched the bank andTah-'away to the house, the tears running down her checks. , The Fortune Hunter was coming down to dinner that night, when one of the maids crossed the hall to him.

' - 1312 Farnam Street " M " came an hour ao, but I couldn't find you anywhere." ' The Fortune Hunter took it from the tray she carried, and a wave of. color swept his face. The handwrit ing was Irenie Caver's, he knew, and for a moment lie dreaded opening ft s he walked into the study and closed the door. vllc had never sct.it Iicr, ' the- re mainder of the money he promised and he supposed it was to demand it that she had written The contents of the letter were something very different. "I hope you'll get this safely," she began abruptly, "and I hope it will be in time to warn you. I think the game's up, and that you'd better clear. Someone down at Somertou has found out the truth about you, though I can't toll who it is. Yester day, and again this morning, there has been a man here questioning me about John Smith. "He didn't get much change out of me, I promise you, but they're on the right track,' I feel sure, though the Lord alone knows who put them wise. I'm leaving the Sa voy tonight and making tracks. I rather like you, so don't bother about me any more I shan't worry you again. Just clear while there's time,' and, I wish you good luck. After all, we're birds of a feather." She did -not sign her name, and there was no address on the paper. So someone had spotted him. Who' was it? Fernie? He seemed to be the most likely. Mr. Harding came into the room behind him. ..- - ' "Hullo, John! Where have vou been all day? I 'don't think I've seen you at all. .' , "You were liot in to lunch," the Fortune Hunter reminded him. "And this afternoon we went up to Long-end to fetch the punt. We had to leave it there this morning as it was 'SO wet." For the first time he found him self looking at Mr., Harding with suspicion. Did he khow, tool The thought made - his .nerves tingle, though there was nc(t the least fear in his heart. They went in to" dinner together, apparently the best of friends. Anne already was seated at the table, and Tommy, and the Fortune Hunter looked round him with wistful eyes as he took his own scat. Supposing .this was . the . last time he ever sat at this table! Supposing tomorrow saw him back on the road a homeless outcast I A wave of overpowering emotion seemed to catch him by the throat as he looked at Annel., Why had he not been better to her while he had had the opportunity? . ' . ' He knew that she . had shed many tears because of him, and yet what else could he have done? The whole situation had been unnatural and impossible, much as he loved her; but as he watched her now across the table, he felt that he would have Riven his soul to have known that he had at least made ner naoov. . . . "I still have one ring of Three Things Should be Considered When you buy grapefruit has it plenty of juice, a fine flavor and a tender pulp?

"It's the weather," Tommy said. "Its been enough to make anyone commit suicide today." Anne rose from the table. "We'll have coffee in the drawing-room, shall we?" She looked up at the Fortune Hunter as he held the door open for her, and the expression of his eyes went straight to her heart, making her catch her breath with a little sob of fear as she went on across the hall. But when presently he joined hct he talked away on ordinary subjects. And she wondered if, perhaps, it had been her imagination that in that one look he had told her all the many things she had so longed to hear him say since he came home. Once or twice he went to the win dow and looked out into the dark garden, and she saw the nervous twitching of his face and the rest less way he kept wandering about the room, (Continued In Th.
