THIS HAS HAPPENED VIRGINIA BREWSTER is in love with NATHANIEL DANN, but she is tricked into promising to marry FREDERICK DEAN in one year if she fails to earn SIOO,OOO that he alleges her father cheated him out of. BREWSTER had lost his fortune before his death and VIRGINIA is left destitute. _ She pawns her jewelry and OLIVER CUTTER promises o invest the money for her. She seeks work without success. and discovers that DEAN has bribed the agency not to help her. OLIVER gains her confidence and shows her attention which NEIL resents, but ®he does not like the way his model, CHIRI. treats him. VIRGINIA finally obtains a position she likes. Shortly aftr she is charged by CUTTER’S wife with trying to alienate his affections. She appeals to him to explain, and demands an accounting of her investments. He confesses that he has not made a penny for her, but says that ho will give her any amount if she will go away with him. She denounces him and leaves his office. Her firm requests her to go on a voyage as ship hostess. This separation, together with the CUTTER affair on one hand and CHIRI on the other, cause a lovers’ quarrel between her and NIEL which li not mended before VIRGINIA sails. They both suffer, but her work and the hope of getting aid from one of her father’s friends, O. D. LEIGH, in Haiti, help VIRGINIA endure the heartache. She learns from a passenger on board that LEIGH Ss ‘broken in spirit” because of domestic trouble and dares not ask about his financial status. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XLIV PORT AU PRINCE.

Rid of Rheumatism and Kidney Pains Says relief came so suddenly ' it surprised him. After years of tortrtre from rheumatism. back-ache, and kidney trouble, health has come to Karl F. Kaisch, 834 No. Shawnee St„ Freeport, 111. His letter gives the answer, as follows: I suffered agony for 8 years, with rheumatism and kidney trouble. The back-ache, and the pains in my shoulders and legs were so intense that at times I would have to stop everything and lay down. I was continually taking laxatives for constipation, but got no real relief. I lost weight, had no pep at all, and got up every morning feeling tired and worn out. I had tried so many remedies, I was terribly discouraged. But I finally found the right one, Viuna. The quick results amazed me. The tired feeling vanished and my appetite came back. I began to get good sleep and eat hearty meals without constipation or other distress. The awful rheumatic pains and back-achd left me, and never came back. I have gained 16 pounds since I started taking Viuna. It has made anew man of me.” Vluaai acta promptly bn alutglob Vxjwelg, Iftay liver and weak kidneys.

feet. Virginia resisting this one and that as she had throughout all the planning of the days to be spent ashore in this port. This one day should be hers. After that the passengers might claim her if they wished. She was the last of those going ashore to leave the ship. She did not wish any volunteer escorts. Just before she departed, Fiance, who also had lingered behind, came to speak to her. All morning he had sought her for a word in private, only to find her in such demand and so busy that she could not tear herself away to be alone with him- “ Should you like me to go with you to Leigh’s?” he asked. “Thank you. I’d rather go alone,” she answered frankly. .“I thought so,” he told her. "Well, you know these natives speak mostly a strange patois. They call it French, but I don’t think they’d understand you as a Frenchman would. If they don’t you can mix it up with a little Spanish or English. Virginia smiled. “I’m getting one of the stewardesses to accompany me as a guide. She knows Port Au Prince well. But thank you very much for your thoughtfulness, Mr. Fiance. Sorry to lose you here.” “Under ordinary circumstances I’d be sorry to leave, but there’s a welcome waiting for me nearby and a young son I’m going to see for the first time. So if I can’t be of service to you I’ll be getting along,” he replied with a broad and happy grin. Virginia gave him her hand and congratulated him. She hoped he would find both mother and son doing well and he hoped she would find Mr. Leigh “over the weather.” Virginia was scarcely interested in the drive out to the plantation as a drive. Her mind was whoHy on getting tc Oddly Leigh so she paid scant attention to the route they took in ana out of narrow winding streets until they came to the Flace L’Ouverture, Here she was compelled to admire the rows of beautiful royal palms through which they jogged along in the open coche. She had hesitated ,at first sight of the frail looking little beast that was drawing them, to engage a coche but a search for a taxi proved that all had been taken by the passengers. The best of the coches, too. Virginia was forced to content herself with this or even worse. “It is not so far,” the stewardess informed her encouragingly. “These little hc-ses are tough.” From tnfc shade of the umbrella they carried for their own protection Virginia observed the lathered sides and thin, shaky legs of the tiny pony with great pity. “If only I did not have to go on I’d get out and walk back to the ship,” she exclaimed heatedly. ‘Please keep your eyes open for an empty taxi, Miss Webster, and if you see one, hail it.” They passed several parties from the ship but Virginia avoided stopping and shook Hfer head firmly when some of them shouted to her to join their groups. After they left the city and got on a country highway . cy met the Negro peasants coming in with their market baskets perched upon their heads. The natives moved along, working their jaws industriously, the hips of the women swaying with an indescribable rhythmic motion. Those who were mounted on donys displayed a nonchalant poise that won Virginia's admiration. They might have been goifig to their own coronation, she remarked to her companion. “They’re proud of their freedom from slavery,” Miss Webster told her. Virginia sighed. “That’s why they strut,” the other went on. Virginia thought she should not call it strutting. Rathef an expression of people who had found themselves—not on a high plane, perhaps, but so much loftier than their former state as to fill them with a prideful satisfaction no one could begrudge. , The natives paid scant attention to them. Never halting in the march of turning to stare. Now and then glances of impersonal curiosity were cast upon them as they were trotted along the hot

road, but no one addressed them. They passed cabins where naked pickaninnies swarmed through open doors and windows and spilled out on the road. Then the character of the dwellings changed and finally they began to see an occasional villa, hidden almost from sight by palms and tropical plants, vines and flowers. “Is it much farther?” Virginia inquired, pitying the poor pony, streaked with lather and perspiration. “'f’he next place, if I remember correctly. It is several years since I’ve been here,” Miss Webster explained. She spoke to the driver in a French that Virginia could but partly understand. He nodded his head, without turning it, and Virginia assumed the next place to be Mr. Leigh’s. A few minutes later they turned into a driveway that once had been magnificent. Os course Virginia could not compare it with past glory but Miss Webster could, and did. “My) how he’s let it run down' Well, I think a bachelor always does down here in the tropics.” Virginia did not trouble to inform her that Mr. Leigh was not a bachelor, or rather that, until recently, he had had a wife. “Will you come in wi>h me?” she asked. "Os course you know I’ve come on private business, but 1 darevsay there’ll be a comfortable room where you can wait.” “I doubt it, by the looks of things,” the stewardess answered as she cast disapproving glances over the weed-grown lawn and tangled gardens. When her eyes met the tumbledown steps and sagging porch she gasped. “Look at it! And it used to be such a pretty place!” “I suppose decay is rapid here,” Virginia said defensively, but her own opinion was disturbing. Everything looked very much as if Oddly

Leigh had been broken in more ways than one. They got out and she motioned the driver to get his pony into the shade at the side of the house. He obeyed her and Virginia heard him talking with someone she could not see. Their knock on the door was not answered for several minutes and Virginia began to grow impatient. There must be servants about. Who else had their driver spoken to? She was about to walk around the house to see what had become of him when the slap, slap, slap, of bare feet came nearer beyond the paint-peeled door. The door was opened a crack and a woolly gray head twisted around to get a good look at them. “Open the door,” Miss Webster ordered in no uncertain tones, using the native patois as she understood it. The old darky threw the door epen ind stepped aside. “Who does you wish to see?” he asked in English. Miss Webster turned the matter over to Virginia at once. The latter produced a* card, wrote a message on it and asked the servant to take it to his master. “Massa very sick,” he said, appearing reluctant to receive the card. “Has he a nurse, or any one in authority whom I may speak to?” Virginia inquired, after a slight hesitation. "God lord. no. He ain’t even got a doctor.” “Then I must see him,” Virginia stated emphatically. “He isn't too ill to read, is he?” she added in sudden alarm that her massage might be meaningless to him. “No, he done read all right. But he ain’t seein’ nobody. Sever’l ladies done come out and went to see him, but he ain’t got no use fo’ dem . . .” “If he does not wish to see me when he knows my name tell him I shall not insist,” Virginia broke in.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
The old American Negro shuffled away and disappeared up a dim stairs. Virginia peered into an open door at the side of the hall. “I think you can wait in here, Miss Webster,” she said. Her companion came over and looked into the room over her shoulder. “I’ll wait outside,” she said shortly. "That is if he sees you.” “I think he will. Better take a chair out and sit in the shade.” The darkey servant was gone a long time and the two visitors were growing uncomfortable and restless in the dark hall by the time he reappeared. His face was wreathed in a welcoming smile and he invited Virginia to come right up. “Massa’s delighted you’s heah,” he said. “I’d be careful going up those stairs if I were you,” Miss Webster advised and picked up a chair to carry out with her. ”Yo’ all can wait in the parlor,” the old Negro informed lier. “I’ll feel safer outside,” she snapped back and made for the door. Virginia followed the servant up the dusty, uncarpeted stairs, down a torrid hall and to an open door on the north side of the house. It was cooler here, but not a great deal, and Virginia saw with unutterable misgiving that the master’s bedroom was in little better condition than the rest of the house. It was obvious that a hasty attempt had been made to make it

more presentable and Virginia understood why she had been kept waiting. The man she had come so far to see lay in the light from an unshuttered window. Gaunt and gray. A shadow of a strong man. But his voice and his eyes were warm and welcoming when he looked up from the card in his hand and spoke to Richard Brewster’s daughter. (To Be Continued)

Asthma Nearly Made Him Change Climate Got Well at Home, Two Years Ago, and Trouble Never Returned. Sufferers thinking of changing climate for asthma or bronchial troubles will be interested in the experience of Earl L. Harvey, Cumberland, Ind. He says': “I had asthma for 9 months, without any relief. I couldn't sleep at night, had a bad cough, would choke up and have to be propped up in bed. I sold my furniture, intending to try Colorado for relief, but Instead I began taking Naeor in August, 1924. I had not been able to work, but since September 13, 1924, I have been able to work hard every day without any ill effects. I am entirely, well: no symptoms of asthma, pains or cough and my breathing is good. I haven’t taken any medicinqf since November, 1924, and am in the best of health.” Hundreds of people who suffer for years from asthma, bronchitis and chronic coughs, have told how their trouble left and never returned. Their letters and a booklet of vital information about these diseases will be sent free by N'acor Medicine Cos., 413 State Life Bldg., Indianapolis. Ind.
