CHAPTER ONE Major Sands, conscious of his high deserts, was disposed to receive with condescension the gifts which he perceived that Fortune offered him. She could not bribe him with them into a regard for her discernment. He had seen her shower fa- : -ours upon the worthless and defraud th- meritorious of the-r just j reward. And she had kept him waiting. If at last she turned to him, he supposed that it was less from any gracious sense of justice in herself than because Major Sands had known how to constrain her. This, from all the evidence I have | sifted, 1 take to have been the com- | plexion of his thoughts as he lounged I beside the day-bed set for Miss Priscilla Harradine under the awning of . orown sailcloth which had been improvised on ’•>«■ high poop nf the • Centaur. The trim vellow ship lay at anchor in the spacious bay of Fort Royal, which she had made her first port of call after the short run from Barbados. They were taking fresh *ater aboard, and this was provid I t ng an occasion to induce them toll .ake other things. In the forechains the Negro steward and the cook I were receiving a bombardment of , mangled English and smooth French , i from a cluster of periaguas, laden ; with fruit and vegetables, that bumped and scraped alongside, manI, tied by whites, half-castes, Negroes j and Caries, all of them vociferous , in their eagerness to sell. At the head of the entrance ladder j stood Captain Bransome in a stiff- | skirted coat of dark blue with tar- , nished gold lace, refusing admission ■ .o the gabardined and persistent Jew I in the cockboat at the foot of it, who was offering him bargains in cocoa, ■ 1 ginger, and spices. . Inshore, across the pellucid jadegreen waters of the bay, gently ruf1 fled by the north-easterly breeze ; that was sweetly tempering the torrid heat of the sun, rose the ramage of masts and spars of the shipping nding there at anchor Beyond this the little town of Fort Royal showed sharply white against the emerald green undulating slopes cf Marti- - tuque, slopes dominated in the north by the volcanic mass of Mont Pelt which thirst its rugged summit inI to the cobalt sky. Captain Bransome, his glance alternating between the Jew who , would not be dismissed, and a longboat that half a mile away was I loading for the ship, removed his 1 round black castor. Under this his i head was swathed in a blue cotton handkerchief, as being cooler than i periwig He stood mopping his : nrow whilst he waited He was feel- . ng the heat in the ponderous Euro- ; pean finery which, out of regard - ’ for the dignity of his office of i mas r, he donned whenever putI tjng into port. On the poop above, despite the i breeze and the shadow of the awning, Major Sands, too, was feeling j ’he heat, inclining as he did to a | rather fleshly habit of body, and : this despite a protracted sojourn in | he Tropic nf Cancer. He had come i out five years ago whilst King Charles II was still alive. He had , volunteered lor service overseas in I tlie conviction that in the New World he would find that fortune which eluded him in the Old. The necessity was imposed upon him by a dissolute father who had gamed and drunk the broad family estate* in Wiltshire. Major Sands’* inheritance, therefore, had been scanty. At least, it did not include —and for this he daily returned

The fall has been favorable for husking and more i than the usual amount of corn is ’eribbed at this time.” I Potatoes are reporting as aver!aging 90 bushels to the acre, the same as last month, but with a I larger acreage the past season, the total production is above that of 1931. The estimated yield for sweet potatoes is 110 bushels uer .acre, a little below average. With the quality of the crop good, tobacco is averaging 770 ' pounds per acre. Total production, however, is only about half lof last year, because of the reduction in acreage.

thanks to his Maker—the wasteful, improvident proclivities of his sire. The Major was no man for hazards In contrast with his profligate father, he was of that cold and calculating temperament which, when allied with intelligence, will carry a man tar. In Major Saads the intelligence was absent; but like most men in his ease he was not aware of it. If he had not realized his hopes strictly in accordance with the expectations that had sent hi m overseas, h e perceived that he was about to realize them very fully, nevertheless. And how ever unforeseen the circumstances to which the fact wa* due, this nowise troubled his perception that the achievement proceeded from his own merit and address. Hence his disdainful attitude towards Fortune. The issue, after all, was a simple one. He had come out to the West Indies in queat of fortune And in the West Indies he had found it. He had achieved what he came to achieve. Could cause and effect be linked more closely ? This fortune which he had won, or the winning of which awaited now his pleasure, reclined on a daybed of eane and carved oak, and was extremely good to look upon. Slim and straight, clean - limbed and moderately tall, Priscilla Harradine displayed an outward grace of body that was but the reflection of an inner grace of mind. The young face under the shadow of the wide-brimmed hat was of a winning loveliness; it was of that • delicate tint th»t went with the I deep golden of her hair, and it i offered little evidence of long years ' spent in the blistering climate of i Antigua. If there was spirit in her s j resolute tittle chain and firmly modi elled lipa, there was only tenderI ness and candour in the < yes, wide- - set and intelligent and of a colour i that was something between the i deep blue »f the aky and th* jade- • green of the sea ou which they II gazed.

SYNOPSIS t Priscilla, lovely young daughter ! of the late Sir John Harradine, ‘ ( aptain General of the Leeward Isles, leaves the West Indies aboard the “Centaur" bound for England. * She is accompanied by the pom- 1 pous, middle-aged Major Sands. ' who seeks to win her hand and for- ! tune. The time is about 1690; the ' scene, the Spanish Main. CHAPTER TWO Bartholomew Sands had acted as ■ the Captain General’s sectmd-in- ’ command. He had lived at Govern- ’ ment House with them so long that ’ Miss Priscilla had come to look upon him as of the family, and was I glad enough to lean upon him now. ' And the Major was even more glad to be leaned upon. His hopes of succeeding Sir John in the governorship of Antigua were slight. Not that in his view he lacked the ability. He knew that he had ability to spare But court favour in these matters, he supposed, counted for more than talent or experience; and court favour no doubt would be filling the vacant post with some inept fribble from home. The perception of this quickened his further perception that his first duty was to Miss Priscilla. He told her so, and overwhelmed the child by th% display of what she accounted an altruistic nobility. For she was under the assumption that his natural place was in her father’s vacant seat, an assumption which he was far from wishing to dispel. It might well be so, he opined; but it could matter little when weighed against her possible need of him. She would be going home to England now The voyage was long, tedious, and fraught with many perils. To him it was as inconceivable as it was intolerable that she should take this voyage unaccompanied and unprotected. Even though he s.iou.d jeopardize his rimnees of the succession of the governorship as a consequence of leaving the island at such a time, yet his sense of duty to herself and bis regard for her left him no choice. Also, he added, with impressive conviction, it was what her father would have wished. Overbearing her gentle objections to this self-sacrifice, he had given himself leave of absence, and had appointed Captain Grey to the lieutenant governorship until fresh orders should come from Whitehall. And so he had shipped himself with her aboard the Centaur, and with her at firat had been her black waiting - woman Isabella Unfortunately, the Negress had suffered so terribly from seasickness that it 'was impossible to take her across the ocean, and they had been constrained to land her at Barbados, so that henceforth Miss Priscilla must wait upon herself. Major Sands had chosen the Centaur for her fine roominess and seaworthy qualities despite the fact 'hat before setting a course for home her master had business to transact farther south in Barbados. If anything, the Major actually welcomed this prolongation of the voyage, and consequently of this elose and intimate association with Miss Priscilla. It waa in his calculating nature to proceed slowly, to spoil nothing by precipitancy. He realized that h i s wooing of Sir John Harradine’s heiress, which, indeed, had net bggun until after Str John’s death had cast her, as it were, upon his hands, must be conducted yet some little way before he could account that he had won her. There were certain disadvan-

to lai> men in each township for at least one day. This would mean an expense to the county for from $2,500 to $3,000. Instead of this plan our county road superintendent saw fit to use the three s.iow shovels owned by the county. (Hereby we save the money otherwise used by the here-ito-fore said men with shovels amd ■regular road graders. Naturally this I method would take longer to open | our roads but think of the vast savings, my friends! With as much leisure time as most men folk are now experiencing and to those less patient—a little charity work could now be done without harm to any one. Certainly the roads could be opened more rapidly thit*way and there would be the-money savings besides. Lei us all cooperate and in this manner bo able to keep our taxer- ! lower. "A Taxpayer."

tages to be overcome, certain possible prejudices to be broken down. After all. although undoubtedly a very personable man —a fact of which his mirror gave him the most confident assurances—there was an undeniable disparity of age between them. Miss Priscilla was not yet twenty ■ five, whilst Major Sands had already turned his back on forty, and was growing rather bald under his golden periwig. At first he had clearly perceived that she was but too conscious of his years. She had treated him with an almost filial deference, which had brought him some pain and mere dismay. With the close association that had been fheirs and the suggestive skill with which he had come to establish a sense of approximate coevality. this attitude in her was being gradually dispelled. He looked now to the voyage to enable him to complete the work so well begun. He wuuld be a dolt, indeed, if he could not contrive that this extremely desirable lady and her equally desirable for tune should be contracted to him before they cast anchor in Plymouth Road*. It was upon this that he had staked his slender chances of succession to the governorship of Antigua. But, as I have said, Major Sands was no gambler. And this was no gambler’s throw He knew himself, his persor.ableness, his eharms and his arts, well enough, to be confident of the issue. He had merely exchanged a possibility for a certainty; the certainty of that fortune which he had originally come overseas to seek, and which lay now all but within his grasp. This was his settled conviction as he leaned forward in his chair, leaned nearer to tempt her with the Peruvian aweet meats in the silver box he proffered, procured for her with that touching anticipation of her every possible wish i which by now she must have come lo remark in him She stirred against the cushion of purple velvet with its gold tassels, which hi* solicitous hand* had fetched from the cabin and placed behind her. She shook her head in refusal, but smiled upon him with a gentleness that was almost tender. “You are so watchful of my com l fort, Major Sanda, that it is almost ungracious to refuse anything you bring. But . . .” She waved her green-and-scariet fan. He feigned ill-humour, which may not have been entirely feigned. I “If I am to be Major Sands to you to the end of my days, faith, I'll bring you nothing more. I am called Bartholomew, ma'am. Bartholomew." i "A fine name,” said she. “But too fine and long for common , everyday use, in such heat as this.” Hi* answer to that was almost eager. Disregarding her rallying note, he chose to take her literally. I “I have been called Bart upon occasion. by my friend*. It’s what ■ my mother called me always. I i make you free of it. Priscilla.’’ “1 am honoured, Bart." she i laughed, and so rejoiced him. > Four couplets sounded from the ) ship’s belfry. It brought her to sit i up as If it had been a signal. “Eight bells, and we are still at > anchor. Captain Branaome said we > should be gone before now.” She t rose. “What keep* us here, I son- , der.” r As if to seek an answer to her t question, she moved from the shadow of the awning Major Sands, t who had risen with her, stepped 1 beside her to the taffrail. ■ ‘ The cockboat with the baffled
