CHAPTER III,

AT westciife-on-Sea. a mile or two from
southend proper. was q quaint, old-fash-
Toned dwelling place which dated from the
days when southend was q small town and
westcliYe unknown. The Wilderness. a, Il
was called. certainly deserved its name; II
sadly needed paint and repairs; the garden
was destitute Of everything except weeds
and Q few old-fashioned nowers which came
up year after year Of their own sweet will.
Mr.. James Payne had taken the wilder
ness on a three years lease. ne rot II at
a low rent. and 80 did not stipulate for re-
pairs. He did not trouble about the neslect-
ed garden. because he argued that eight
children would speedily make havoc Of any
piece Of ground. howeve trinity kept. He
told his wife the Essex coast was proverb-
tally healthy, and that he and Bert,e could
get up to London very cheaply. And when
the poor lady complained Of the loneliness
Of the Wilderness through the long winter
months. he only retorted that II came
cheap, since no one visited them to reauire
hospitality.
They were not very pleasant beople to
visit. II the truth were told. Mrs. Payne
was idle. and rather violent In temper.
Her husband had made . false step many
year, before, and deadened his COINCIDENCE
with q golden saive.

there's . reaction now against examining
and all that sort of thing. Mothers are be-
ginning to fancy their children do better
with a lady who Is old fashioned enough to
have learned manners"
The next day. when II came to Lettice's
turn to inspect the newes page Of the reg
lister at a.. Ashley Square. she found
among the situations entered since yester-
day one which took her fancy at once. and
she read It most carefully In the hope she
could fulfill its requirements.
Mrs. James Payne. the Wilderness.
westcline-on-sea. requires a young lady as
companion-governess. Most OF the children
go to school; very little teaching necessary:
but someone bright. sociable and fond Of
outdoor life essential. Preference to q lady

II seemed to Iettice the situation must
have been made on purpose for her. She

he remarked. II should say she was Q nice

oh. dear no. ma'am, She's gone to try
and get a situation as governess or COM
panion. The master got into a tantrum
about something. and he just turned her

The visitor produced two bright half
crowns. and slipped them into Betsy's
hand.
'Could you give me Miss Linden's ad-
dress? II am her old schoolmistress. and
I think ! might find her some pupils"
Betsy repeated 1t like a child saying a
lesson:

Mrs. Payne departed. She had told a
sratuitous ~falsehood. for she ~ never
been Lettice Linden's schoolmistress, but
fortune favored her doubly. Betsy had
never seen any Of the teachers at the high
school. and the particular mistress who
had taken most interest in the girl had
lately left the neishborhood to become b
principal Of q private school. 30 Mrs.
Payne's fraud was not in the least likely
to be discovered.
Lettuce had left crimea villa with very
mingled feelings. 1t was hard work parting
from her mother. II would be years be-
fore she could think Of Mrs. Linden by any
other name. But at least she would be free
from the harsh voice and constant reproofs
which from childhood had been dealt out
to her BY the master OF the house.
She found a. Ashley Square. a big. old

PORTION OF TEACHERS MONEY.
Gov. Gambler Can Pay Two Thirds
Amount.

Atlanta, June 19.-It begins to look
as If Gov. CEndler Will be able to pay
the school teachers of the state about
two-thirds of their salaries during
July, The treasury statements called
for by the Governor from the treasurer
and the controller general, have not
vet been furnished, but it is under
stood they will show total of $795, 707
in the treasury, including the public
property and sinking funds. These
latter funds amount to about 1914, 900,
leaving in the general fund in the
treasury more than $4,000 From
this must be deducted about $4,000,
which has been paid out on salary, etc.
and for which warrants have not been
presented. This leaves about $210, 00C
actual cash IN the treasury. Out OF
this the July interest on the bonded
debt amounting to $161, 900 must be
paid, leaving $40, 900. Then the Gov
ernor will borrow 5000, 900 which will
give him enough to pay the teachers
all but about $780, 900 dollars of the
amount that is due them.
