mentioned her in his diary or when
he spoke Of Mr.. Leigh"
Probably not. Most likely he
never heard of her. No one had,
guess, until she suddenly appeared
down here in the West Indies and
dragged old Oddly's name through
all the Shiny backwash of the is
lands. Then the story came out.
She'd driven him from the States
a few months after their marriage.
and such was her hate of him be-
cause she lost him that she would
not divorce him and marry the
other man.
oddly couldn't do that because
he didn't believe in divorces. So
he took to rowing, thinking she'd
free herself. But she didn't. And
when she came to Haiti she was
still Mrs. o. D. D. Leigh and all
the world could know it for all she
cared.
"It did to Leigh what the sugar
trust hadn't been able to do. It
broke him. You'll find him only

"She went out in the gutter

He broke Off sharply, suddenly
aware of the effect of his words
upon Virginia who was leaning
against the rail, white-faced and
trembling.
I'm sorry" he fastened to ado.
"Beastly Of me. but I was thinking
of the finest man in the world and
what that woman did to him"
Virginia did not answer imme-
diately. Finally she thanked him
for telling her what he had and left
him, to flee to her stateroom and
try to compose herself to carry on
her duties.

They were not pleasant company,
but she could not get away from
them. Besides, the situation il
which she now found herself must
be faced.
She had come upon wild goose

thought, she realized that no one
had said that Leigh had been. i'm

news" and surely the scandal and
heartbreak would account for that.
Flance, too, had mentioned only

CHAPTER xLIII

VIRGINIA pressed forward
' against the rail on the stern
deck and peered from under g hand
that shaded her eyes from the
bright morning sun.
She was gazing at Moro Castle,
glad to be seeing that gloomy relic
of departed glory for the last time
It had fascinated her with its
somher gray color and prison-hke
atmosphere, that symbolized so per-
fectly her own bondage.
She had heard of the dungeons
below the water line; she had lis
tened to tales Of horror and brav-
cry about the old days of the Span
ish reign; and she had come ID
think of herself as prisoner in
the shadow of that grim pile OF
stone.
Not until they sailed for Haiti
would she feel otherwise, for not
until then could she count off the
miles, or knots as it were in this
case, that separated her from the
land where resided the man who
might save her.
The colorful days of Havana that
the passengers found so diverting
and thrilling were only so many
days Of imprisonment to Virginia
She was held as helplessly against
her wish to depart as though she
were indeed incarcerated in a dun
geon in Moro Castle.
It was slow torture, waiting amid
lavish beauty and gaiety with
pleasure-bent people who expected
her always to be carefree and in
terested in their entertainment.
Their absorption of her did not
extend to this early morning hour
however, and she took her farewell
glance at the jewel-like city and
famous old fortress undisturbed.
The first, throb of the engines
deep in the bowels of the ship had
set her nerves to quivering with the
excitement that attends an eagerly
awaited moment.
She was dressing, hurrying to be-
on deck, when the welcome sound
reached her ears.
She struggled into her string
colored linen dress, seized a sweater
and flew up to experience the sat
isfaction of witnessing the steamers
departure from the scene Of her
impatient delay.
She was turning away from the
rail, having drunk in. enough Of
satisfaction and sun glare, her mind
on her obligation to the Blue Ca
pella, when she was joined by a
man she did not recognize as a
passenger.
He was elderly and distinguished
looking, with thin, tropic- Drowned
face.

said in a quiet, pleasant voice.

quickly. "'Oddly' he is called by his

"Old Oddly LEIGH We all know

fact, no one has seen much Of him
lately. He rarely leaves his planta-
ton and I've heard :"
He paused and glanced anxiousiy
at Virginia. "By the way, is he a
friend of yourS?" he asked, trying
to sound casual.
Virginia shook her head. mo-"
she said, "but my father knew him
many years ago, in India. 1t is my
greatest wish to meet him on this
trip and I thought, when you said
you lived in Haiti, that you might

ton; what has happened 70 MIN?

Mr.. Flance's lips set in a tight
line "It is hardly a subject you

Virginia remained quiet for
moment. Then: "But don't

added abruptly.

Had it been necessary she could
have gone to Flance and asked hin

But it would seem like prying to
do so and she knew that she might

planned her reason for wishing tc

Flance into her confidence.
Virginia preferred to endure the
suspense, knowing that it could not
be for long now.
She got definite directions for
reaching the Leigh plantation from
Flance, however and then turned
desperately to the task of entertain
ing the Agena's passengers until
the day should come when she
would return to the ship with G
heart full of thanksgiving or only
a bitter, hopeless despair.
