| ca sion of the second time she had seer
Frank Johnson, it ran this way:
1T was one day in September. We
were eating at the time when johnson
arrived Ny cousin went out 10 meet
him. They had a talk and johnson
said he wanted to stay there because
| he was out of employment in Honour
| lu My husband consented and then
johnson asked him if he could give him
employment. My husband, told him he
could not but if he wanted employ
ment he could go to the plantation,
where there was lots to do.
Next morning Johnson went to the
plantation and returned and told my
husband that he had got work there
and that he would stay with US. My
husband spoke to me about Johnson
living in the house. 1 told my husband
1 did not want him in the house, be-
cause l was in a delicate condition, and
with our own two children and our
adopted children we had a large fam
ilv and / had enough to do.
My husband spoke up and said:
What is the feeling here? Johnson
is a friend of mine and L call him my
child and I feel to him as his father
told my husband that would be all
L would have to get up early in the
morning to get food for him. My hus-
band spoke up sharply and said: It
is with the sweat OF your brow that
you are to earn your living and you are
to obey my Instructions
II ceased to say anything further,
because l did not know what would
come out of it. my husband was so
angry at the time. / decided to my
self to keep quiet.
johnson came to live with us. At
the time there was no bargain wheth-
er he should pay or not. but at the
end of September he paid $3.50 for his
board and lodging. After he paid that
amount I said to myself that it was
insufficient. Beef was high, butter was
high, all provisions We're dear, and I
asked if johnson could not pay $3.50
a month. When Johnson returned
said to him that I considered $3.50 was
fair for board and lodging and wash
ing would be $50 more, which woulC.
be $40 altogether. And he consented.
He remained boarder for about four
months. to the tine when the boy was
killed He worked on the plantation
all that time except Sunday. He did
