Whenever she accompanied

these sharp encounters, for It must
be added that she gave as good &a j
she took, and more often than not her
thrusts bit deeper and did not always

Fortune never asked questions rela-
tive to the family finances. It she
harbored any doubts as to their origin,
to the source of their comparative lux
ury, she never put these into speech.
She had never seen her father, but
she had often beard him referred to

"Come; let us go up to the room. It

Alone, Fortune was certain that for
her mother her heart knew nothing
but hate. Neglect, Indifference, In-
justice, misunderstanding, the chill
repellence that always met the leaA
outreachtng of the child’s affections,
the unaccountable disappearances,
the terror of the unknown, the blank
wall of Ignorance behind which she
was always kept, upon these hate had
builded. her dark and brooding re-
treat. Yet. never did the ir»>ii»-.‘r come
within the radius of her sight th.it she
did not fall under the spell of
strange fascination, enchaining, fight
against it-how she might. A kindly
touch of the hand, a single mother-
smile, and she, would have flung her
arms about the other woman's neck.
But the touch and the mother-smile
never came. She knew, she under-
stood; she wasn't wanted, she hadn't
been wanted In the beginning; to her
mother she was as the young of ani-
mals, Interesting only up to that time
when they could stand alone. That
the mother never made and held

astonishing. Beauty and charm, such
■ as she possessed, served Immediately
to stimulate envy In other women'e
hearts. And that men of ail stations

her Investigating touch, as little balls

She was never without the comforts
of Ilfs. welMcd, wsll-dressed, wsll-

her some jeweled trinket which (again
that sense of menace) she put away,
but never wore. The bright periods

from some former schoolmate who

it was with melancholy; for the dukes

singular orbit, were not the sort to
whom one gave letters of introduction.
Where her mother went she never
had the least idea. She might be In
any of the great ports of the world,
anywhere between New York and
Port Said. The major generally dis-

perhaps, she'd come buck from a
pleasant tram-ride over to Nice and

off they'd go again; never a word

Fortune dreadfully. It gave her a
clear proof of where she stood, exactly
nowhere. The hurt had lessened with
