Neither he nor she had said in so many words that there was to be a bargain between them; but Loria understood what the suggestion of a tête-
Twenty times in her sleep she was on the point of finding out the secret, but always woke before she had made it her own. She was up early in the morning, and went out, saying, as if carelessly, to Celestine, that she must buy a few last things which she had forgotten. In the town she met Loria, as they had arranged over-night, and he put into her hand something in a sealed envelope.
The girl's heart was beating high with hope, no doubt. How little she guessed that, half across the world, a man was setting forth to defeat her plans, even if they attained success! The Marchese Loria had always been lucky in games of chance. In this biggest game of all Fortune still stood behind him and, with a guiding finger, pointed out the cards to play.
This young couple had in time a son, and then a daughter. Perhaps you saw the daughter to-day?" "Yes, it was she. You didn't ask me about her before." "No; the fact is, I thought that further conversation on the subject would be too painful for poor Loria. You must have seen that he was upset." "I couldn't help seeing. But go on."
"Marchese Loria, I invite you to come on board. I invite also the United States Consul, whose protection I claim. But I do not choose to have other guests." "The health officer has a right to board us, you know, Virginia," said Roger in a loud tone; then close to her ear: "Hang it all! we are more or less at their mercy. We can't get away without coaling, and they know it.
There was nothing for Loria to do but to obey. They went down the companionway; and George Trent, on guard with his book near the Countess de Mattos's cabin door, jumped up at sight of Loria. "What, you here, Marchese?" he began. But Virginia cut him short with a look and gesture both imploring and imperative. "Leave us, George, I beg," she said. "Later, there will be time for explanations."
"And you will never regret your rôle in it," returned Loria. Before the Bella Cuba left Mentone all probable contingencies of the mission had been foreseen, and as far as possible provided for, by Roger Broom, George Trent, and Virginia Beverly, in council.
I travelled as much as possible, and Loria had promised that at the end of the five years he would marry me, saying always that he loved me well; that if he had sinned it was for love of me, and to save me. When the world had forgotten the affair of Maxime Dalahaide we would be married, and live in countries where no one had heard the story, and nothing would remind us of the past.
Like a haunting ghost, it was always behind him, and he could hear the swish of its garments, the stealthy sound of its footfalls; but when he turned upon it the thing was gone, leaving only the impression of a black shadow with a veiled face inexpressibly awful. Loria could not sleep by night, and by day he was restless.
The wage may be enough, even when low, to support the father's efficiency, but it is not necessarily enough to keep up the efficiency of the young laborer on which the future depends." Loria deals more extensively with slavery as affected by the valuation of labor, and Gibson examines elaborately the nature of hypothetically absolute slavery in analyzing the earnings of labor.
