Pugsley of Lincoln, who gave a
"borne folks" talk about the things
that were, being accomplished in Ne

prediction, from his knowledge of the
plans and specifications of the new
state Capitol at Lincoln, that the
structure, when completed, would be
one that would attract nationwide
attention. He assured them also
while the farmers of the state were
hard-pressed now financially, that
they would pull through, although
he feared a certain percentage of
Nebraska farms would not be tilled
next year.
Roads to Save Big Sum ,
By New Working Rules
": Chicago, Dec 1. Two important
changes and an estimated saving of
50,000,000 to the railroads annually
were the outstanding features of new
working rules governing the 400,000
members of six federated railroad
shop crafts as promulgated today by
the United States railroad labor
board. ' -
'.'The two chief changes were:
Representation of minorities in
presentation of grievances to meet
the contention of the railroads that
the Old method virtually forced a
closed shop.
Permission to apprentices to do
certain repair work previously re
stricted only to journeymen workers."-
4. The new rules supplant theo!d
national agreement, formulated by
the United States railroad adminis
tration during the war so far as
the shopmen are concerned.
. The rules hereafter will form the
basis of adjudicating all wage dis
putes. They were adopted unani
mously. ' ',, . . ', -f''- .

By RUBY AYJtES.
(L'ewtlnsttd lrs elrday.)
The Fortune Hunter turned round
slowly, and looked down Into Fer
ities crafty race; then lie laugnea. a
defiant ironical laugh, as he shook
the elder man's hand from his arm,
wrenched open a carriage door and
boarded the train.
But his brows were frowning and
his eyes disturbed as he sat down in
a corner scat and tossed his hat onto
the rack; for the first time he felt
that he could understand Anne's in
stinctive dislike of Fcniie, for the
f-rst time he felt that he had had a
glimpse of the man's mean, vindic
tive nature.
So Fcrnie had seen him in the
wood that dayl It was a complica
tion, certainly, but the Fortune
Hunter was not a man easily fright
ened by personal danger, and the
fact that the enemy had at last de
clared himself only added to his de
termination to fight till the end.
After all, how much had Fcrnie
seen? How much had there been
to sec? Nothing surely that would
carry much weight with it.
The Fortune Hunter dismissed the
subject from his mind, arid began to
think of the meeting . which lay be
fore him.
What type of woman would she
prove to be, this woman who had
followed John Smith half across the
world? The Fortune Hunter thought
of a dozen plans with which be
would greet her, but he had forgot
ten them all when the train steamed
into the London terminus, and he
mingled with the crowd along the
platform. . .
There was a curious sense of ner
vousness at his heart; he knew that
probably the next hour or two would
decide his fate once and for all, and
it was with some vague desire to put
off the -evil moment for as long as
possible that he walked the distance
to the Savoy hotel at which the
meeting was to take place.
What sort' of woman would she
prove to be, and had she really cared
for the dead man? That seemed to
be the most important factor in the
case, for if she really cared the For
tune Hunter was shrewd enough to
guess that nothing could buy her
silence.
He walked past the Savoy entrance
twice before he finally squared his
shoulders and turned into the court
yard, his head carried at rather a de
fiant angle and his face a little pale.
1 here were a great mc.ny persons
about,' daintily-dressed women who
looked interestedly at him as he
stood hesitating in the entrance un
certain as to his next move.
A porter approached diffidently.
"Can I be of any service to vou,
r?' . .
The Fortune Hunter started..
"Yes, at least there is a Miss
Claver staying here, I wish to see
her my. name is Smith I haven't a

lie spoke auite calmly, though his
pulses were racing; he thought of
Anne, and her trust, in him, and for
a moment something seemed to
tighten in Ins throat. What would
she think of him if she could see
him now? The porter was beside
him again.
"That is Miss Claver the couch
by the archway, sir,"
The Fortune Hunter turned slow
ly and looked In the direction indk
cated.
So that was Irenie Claverl He was
conscious of an almost overwhelming
sense of relief as he recognized the
type of woman with whom he had to
deal.
Handsome, well dressed, if a lit
tle too flashily, with a rather hard
face, a little wearied iu repose, as
if life had not gone too easily for
her.
She was smoking a ciftarct in a
long, slender holder, and idly turning
the pages of a magazine.
The Fortune Hunter went forward
slowly till he stood beside her, "Miss
Claver, I think?" . 1
His voice was perfectly cool and
controlled .though there was a lit
tle nervous pulse leaping in his
throat.
, She nodded. "Yes go on! Your
name's John Smith, of course?" The
Fortune Hunter flushed at the un
expected question.- "Does that mat
ter?" he asked evasively.
She shrugged her shoulders.
"Not in the least," she agreed.
"Please, go on," he laughed self-consciously.
,
'"It will not sound very plausible
to you," he-said. "But it all hap
pened so naturally. I landed in Eng

pound in my pocket. I tramped about

added. ' -
Irenie Claver winced, but she made
no comment, and the Fortune Hunter
went on: "I was going off to fetch

"It's not to, be wondered at," she
said at last. "She hadn't seen vou

Hunter flushed scarlet.

For h moment lie made no answer,
then Jic looked up with burning, de
fiant eyes. .
"I'd give 20 year of my life for
a decent recorJ," he said.
-"Oh," She half shrugged her
shoulders. "It's like that, is it? That
is why you're here today?" ',
"Yes . . ';
She blew a cloud of smoke from
her ci'naret and watched it melt
away thoughtfully.
"You tnust have been very clev
er," she said suddenly. "How is it
you hadn't given yourself away?"
The woman looked up slowly,
keeping one hand on air open page
of the magazine, and (or a long mo
ment her eyes met those of the For
tune Hunter unflinchingly; then she
rose to her feet.
"I was right then," she said, and
there was just the faintest touch of
emotion in her voice. "You are not
John Smith, though you are suf
ficiently like him to ' deceive any
one who knew him less well than I
do." "She stopped, her breath com
ing fast. "Is he of course,, he is
dead?" she asked. .
"Yes." -
There was a poignant silence; the
Fortune Hunter never took his eyes
from her face; he knew that the
next few seconds' would "decide his
fate once-and for all, but she did
not even lose color, though for a
brief moment she closed her eyes,
and her lins trembled a little. Then
she looked at him serenely.
"I am quiet ready for lunch, if
you are.", she said.
The Fortune Hunter caught his
breath on a harsh s:gh of relief.' So
she had not cared for John Smith!
The greatest danger of all, then, had
not to be faced. He felt 10 years
younger as he followed her to the
luncheon room, . '
At the door she half turned and
looked at him again.
"I booked a tabic I was very
sure you would come, you see."
He half shrugged his shoulders:
"You gave me no option," he an
swered. , s
She laughed at that.
"You are not very gallantl How
ever, I forgive you."
She took her seat opposite him
at a small table at the side of the
room. She was perfectly self-possessed.
If what she had heard had
been a shock to her she showed no
Sign of it. She ordered lunch and

ing and patting them into shape.
When the waiter had moved away
she said abruptly; "You copied his
handwriting welt, but the signature
was wrong. You iuut be Oiore dire
ful in future."
The Fortune Hunter flushed dully;
so she was taking it for granted that
he was an adventurer, even before
she had heard one word of his story;
it wis surprising how her attitude
hurt his pride even though lie knew
it to be deserved.
"There is one thing I must tell
you," he said curtly after a moment,
"and that is, that I have only about
10' shillings in the world. I hope you
are in a better position financially."
.She looked up and laughed out
right.

her self-possession, but at any rate,
against his will, he began to be m
terested.

She chatted away, on ordinary
subjects for the first part of the
meal; she frankly enjoyed her food,
and it was only when coffee was
brought that she leaned her elbows
on the table, and with her chin in
her clasped hands, looked steadily
at the Fortune Hunter,
"Well I think. I'll hear your

ash from his cigaret and it was
some seconds before he answered,
echoing her words;
. "What do you propose to do?''

quently, "I've only one ruling pis.
