The Roc swept on like meteor,
leaving the launch behind. Virginia
asked the captain If he supposed she
had been recognized.
"Ah reckon not, miss" said he. 'Jist

captain.
Virginia sat under the middle OF the
awning, quite in a tremble. The boat
slowly threaded the shelly entrance to
the bayou and passed the wharf OF the
INN. The people on the quay were
craning their necks at the descent of
the passengers from the Roc.

Virginia looked attentiyely at the
speaker, startled TO hear her uncle's
name mentioned almost in his pres
ence. She saw a youngish man of
medium height, thin habit of body and
long, thick hair, who was gazing, with
every appearance of interest, not at
the airship, but at lady of perhaps
twenty-seven years, short, plump. ad-
mlrably gowned In a sort of reduced
half mourning, with her Jolly little
face turned toward the Roc, her bro wn
hair tousled about her face, her prom

she, 'but you've got to show papa
