Diana i He had now disr'arded "his qriginal theory that the man had mistakenly assumed her to be the heir-at-law He was convinced that his insistence onher coming her was due to quite anomer reason, and with Becker‘s ha.lf-veiled warnings in mind, he was udetermined to keep a very wary eye upon this priest who had been his brother‘s friend. He was still without the vaguest ideas as to the nature of the Jegacy or whatâ€" ever it could beâ€"called.:but he already hnarboured the deepest distrust of the nonesty of the man who had it in his keeping. If the fellow imagined he had only a simple girl to deal with, he was going to be speedily disxfllusloned he told himself. As her father, it was no less than his duty to keep a very cloge watch on her interests, and on the fol wing day he would have Beoker at his "back. He had slept solidly through the afternoon and woke ‘only when the train drew to a stop at Antilla, where they turned out on to the platform, and he found himself given the task of superifitending the unloading of their luggage while Toby went off in search of a car to convey them the rest of '(.he4 Journey. He was reluctantly compelled to adâ€" mit that that young man seemed to have a fair amount of organizing ability in something underâ€"ten minutes, y were seated in a comfortable limâ€" ousine and were leaving the town by the new road which followed the coastâ€" line round to the eastward. â€" \ It was a comforting thought, and as he ‘finished his=â€"drink before going in to lunch, he blessed the chance.that had thrown him in the American‘s path on the previous evening. . It was an excellent road, and the driver kept up a steady fifty miles an hour along it. To their‘ right dense woods stretiched blackly up to where the It had been a long and tiring. journey by rail from Havana to Antilla, and as he his companions‘~ apparently mmomrumwmam the passing eoemryfitm.forhadfmmd it inexâ€" pressibly ‘boring. Only the â€" discovery that the train carried: a fully eaned refreshment bar had rendered the trip tolerable at all; and even so, he had had todrinkalone.forhedidn’tatalleare for the appearance of such of his felâ€" low passengers as he found there. : As a result, he had been driven back upon his own thoughts for company. He said nothing to his> dauglhter or Toby of his encounter with Mr. Becker, but while the train plodded steadily eastward, he meditated deeply on what Becker had toldâ€"him. The Amertcan‘s: remark about the value of the sugar estate had come as a very s;:vere shock to him at.the time, but with characteristic optimism he had already found reasons for discountâ€" ing them. But quite apart from that, there would inevitably be other assets which he would be able to count upon, There was a house for example; and there would ‘certainly be:a bank deposit â€"possibly a stubstantial one. «es StepPin OUT ?

'I'he car came to a halt some distance short of this scene of activity, where a little group.of men and. a couple of mule l:arts stood waiting beside â€" the road and t.he Major saw that one of the men was dressed. in the black soutane and I got your wire, and I‘m glad ye‘re turned up safely. â€"Welcome to Car- bonaras, Miss Salter‘. wide shovel hat of a padre.

"I‘ve booked for you all at the one and only hotelâ€"we‘ve got here," he said. ‘Me own house is too small to put ye all up, and I thought ye‘d prefer to be together. And I‘ve got a couple of carts here for your bags. It‘s a steep track down to the villiage, ye‘ll understand, and ye wouldn‘t be wanting to carry more than yourselves down it." He turned to the two muleteers and address them in rapid Spanish, and they proceeded to pack the luggage into the carts. § “Oh sure to be!" the Major said conâ€" fidently, and immediately fell to specu lating pleasantly on the possibility of setimg himself{. up as a planter in ;onder to reap the full advantage of his late brother‘s speiculation. "Good afternoonâ€"erâ€"Father," Diana responded taking his outstretithed. hand. "It‘s very kind of you to meet us like this. This is my father, MaJor Salter And this is Mr. Bishop. \ The priest shook" hands with them both, and then glanced at the pile of luggage which the driver was unstrapâ€" ping from the rear of the car. "Let‘s be getting along," he said to Diana. "The luggage will come aleng after. This way." ‘And he started off down a rough, stony track which dropâ€" ped steeply down the hillside among ‘"‘"Tis is a queer wee place to be getâ€" ting at," he explained, as he skipped nimbly along in front of them.

Anyway, be glad when the camp they‘re all down the coast," he explained ""The produce used to be carried round by sea, but when this road is completed, the crops will be taken into Antilla by road.
