forward to our one cOuntry-hOuSe visit
in England; and, of course, it was very
nice, but it did seem an anti-climax
when the very man I'd been invited to
f1irt with never turned up at all. Oh,
what he missed!" and she laughed.
Believer could cheerfully have kicked
himself. To think that he might have
met this divine creature in a decent,
self-respecting manner, if only he
hadn't sent an unworthy excuse to those
good but dull people, the Dering-Lacys.
A flick from the drivers lash made the
near leader bound forward. He had
to suffer because his master had sud-
denly discovered himself to be an
unmitigated ass. How delighted he
had been when he saw the girl get out
of the train at Caval What a mag
nifcent joke he had thought it when
she had taken him for an italian, and
the driver of a public coach! What a
chance it had seemed after his failure
to get into the Hotel Bristol at Naples,
where he had seen her and her mother
go in, and therefore longed to be there
also. He had called fortune his friend
only short hour ago, because this was
absolutely the most bewitching girl he
had ever seen in his life, and he felt it
unendurable to let her go like ship that
passes in night.
But now-now the rosy mist of illu-
sion had suddenly risen to reveal the
hill of Difficulty under which his own
foolishness had left him. After what
had Just been said between the mother
and daughter, how was it possible that
he could ever introduce himself in his
own character?
Through inquiries he had learned at
the Bristol that the ladies were Mrs. and
Miss Fleetwood. but somehow he had
failed to associate the name with that
of the American heiress with whom the
Dering-Lacys had tried to tempt him
a few weeks ago. And in his blindness
he had rejoiced in the thought of
meeting the girl at Amalfi, whittier he
had ascertained from the hotel porter
that they were going, and whittier he
had already purposed driving in his
coach, which had lately won honours
in the coaching meet at Naples.
These desperate reflections drove the
hitherto loquacious coachman into an
distracted silence He also answered
vaguely the questions with which
Lesley did not cease to ply the. per
fectly lovely coachman with the bronze
profile" He was actually relieved
when he stopped his horses at the foot

k&MSS touts and cabmen were await
ing the arrival of the quick
train from Naples. AS it drew up in
the station and the first travellers made
their appearance at the exit, there rose
babel of voices. Conspicuous among
the vehicles in waiting was smart
English-looking four-in-hand, driven
by handsome, aquiline-faced young
man, so dark of skin that he might well
have passed for an Italian. At the
heads of the impatient horses stood an
impassive English groom.
Young Lord Believer, who was driving
his own coach, scanned eagerly, from
under the brim of his smart bowler, the
persons who came crowding out of the
station. His eyes lighted with pleasure
as girl appeared in the doorway,
followed by an older lady and two
porters, carrying luggage and wraps.
dash of Partisan smartness in the
lines of the well-cut travelling dress and
the perfectly fitting boots, more than
Anglo-Saxon frankness and independ-
ence of carriage, announced the girl as
an American. She was slim and tall,
with dark-lashed gray eyes, and chest
nut hair that curled upon her white
neck in some distracting tendrils. She
walked with a gracious, elastic step,
like one accustomed to admiration and
obedience. There was kindliness in the
candid gray eyes, determination in the
well-formed chin, pride in the naughty
curve of the short upper lip. The lady
who accompanied the beauty of nineteen
was twenty years older, and the resem-
blance in features showed them to be
mother and dauUhtar
A driver bent down from the box
OF his carriage, and, in answer to a
question from the young lady, in
elementary Italian, demanded fourteen
francs for the drive to Amalfi
But 'Baedeker' says the tariff is
five or SIX" expostulated the girl. Her
Italian was fluent, if the grammar was
little shaky. Lord Believer, from his
high box-seat, heard every word.
Baedeker!" And the italian driver
snapped his fingers with a gesture of
contempt. Fourteen francs is the
fare"
The girl bit her lip. She thought she
was being cheated and that made her
angry.
perhaps we had better take him
and have done with it, dear, suggested
the elder lady at doesn't matter
much, you know. There are not many
carriages left. If we bargain too long
we may get none."
Mamma" exclaimed the beauty,
81 hate to be cheated"
She looked around, and catching
sight of Believers paving, glossy bays,
her pleased eyes travelled in one glance
up to the box-seat, where the young
man sat looking eagerly down on her.
"Why, mamma" exclaimed the girl,
eff there isn't perfectly lovely coach,
and | believe the man wants to drive usw
"It's sure to be more than the cab,
dear"
"How much to drive us to Amalfi?"
cried the girl.
Give francs each, ladies'" was the
prompt answer in good Italian, the
language in which the coachman had
been addressed.
"Bene," came the quick reply, and
the girl signed to the porters to put the
bags and wraps inside the coach
The groom, hiding grin, ran with a
ladder; the elder lady mounted to a
place behind the driver, the beauty
climbing to the box-seat With flick
of the long whip the bays dashed
forward; in another moment the flashing
coach was rattling over the rough stone

LiVE-WIRE NEEDED FOR
STATE SUPERINTENDENT
ARCADIA News)


Professor w. B. Cate of the Madi-
son Normal School, writing in the
little paper sent out by his school,
refers to the Office of state superin-
tendent.
He is right in saying that the most
important school position in any
state is the state superintendency Of
public schools. The man filling this
position should have many qualifica-
lions. It is unfortunate that one Of
the qualifications In some states is
that he must be good politician
Candidates in Alaska have been
known to make promises that were
forgotten after the election. They
sometimes use platform principles as
a springing board.
Before long Florida must select a
man to fill the position now occupied
by Superintendent W. N. Sheats
who for one-fifth of century has
been at the head of our school sys-
tenn. In making this selection, Flor.
ida cannot be too careful It goes
without saying that this man must
be young and vigorous. He must be
liable to do great construction work
not only in his Office, but in the field
The present system of certifcatior
of teachers relieves HIM of many du
ties he once had. The teachers and
school officials need the inspiration
that comes from close contact with
a Give wire" state superintendent.
Let us hope that a man capable oil
taking the real leadership of all edu
cational forms in this great state
from our great university and oul
excellent college for women down 4
the smallest rural school, may Offer
himself for this position, and let us
further hope that we as voters may
have the wisdom to select this
Moses to lead us into a greater era
of educational prosperity.

Big Amount Still Due From Federal
Aid Funds

A mild forecast of future Florida
highway construction may be made
/ from figures which were submitted OF
the recent annual meeting of the
state road department showing a
sum Of $3.50, 223.75 still due the state
from the federal government for aid
in such work. In case the state road
department has received from the
federal government only $5,776.20,
the large balance being the remain
der of the fund due this state in con-
nection with the federal aid road
lprojects.
When the balance due from the
federal government will be made
available is indefinite. However, the
state road department is hopeful that
funds will be forthcoming soon 50
: that work can be carried on without
cessation.
This department on September 80,
when its fiscal year closed, had a
balance on hand of $292,77S.92 as
shown by the auditors report. Dis
bursements for the period totalled
SAL ,561.O9 covering a number Of pro
jects in various counties. If the ef
fort now being made to have the fed
eral funds due this state for road
work made available, the total sum
on hand for such purposes will be
more than a half-million dollars and
will assure Florida a continuous pro
gram of highway development.

organizations, has suffered through

this handicap has been a serious one
