LOVE

CHAPTER IV ( Continued. )
And then Harold amazed them b ;
the question :
"Is there a school at Easthill-On
Sea ? I never heard of one. "
Easthill-on-Sea was about two mile ;
from Eastblll proper , in the opposlti
direction from Dynevor Manor and th <
Uplands. Within the last few year ;
some speculators had got posocssioi
of land there , and were trying ard t (
convert what had been a fishing ham
let into a watering-place. They hat
not succeeded well , and the presen
result was a kind of straggling , un
finished settlement , which was neithe :
town nor village. The old inhabitant ;
ot Easthill rather made game of th <
now watering-place , which will accoun
for Kitty's 'laugh.
"I really don't know , Harold ; :
hardly ever go to Easthill-on-Sea
There may be half a dozen schools ;
but I hope not , for their proprietors
sakcs , for I can't imagine that any on <
would send children there. "
"I think you're hard on the place , '
said Harold. "There's a very gooc
beach and a splendid air. I suppos <
people are to bo found -who can dt
without niggers at the seaside. "
"Ah , but they'd want decent roads
and tolerable comfort , " objected Kitty ;
"and you know when it rains Easthill-
on-Sea is almost a swamp , because nc
one has made up the roads. Then thej
only take every other day , and the
butcher's shop opens twice a week. II
would take a good deal to make up for
such drawbacks. "
"It is all so unfinished , " said Mrs ,
Dynevor. "The roads are staked out ,
and imposing names painted on sign
boards , like 'Elm avenue , " and 'Sea
View gardens , ' -but neither avenue nor
gardens boast a single house , and the
roads are not even divided from each
other , except by a few posts. "
"Why are you so suddenly interested
in Easthill-on-Sea ? " demanded Kitty.
"You can't possibly have been asked
to recommend any one a school there ? "
"Oh , dear , nobut ; I came home from
Marion by train , and a girl got out
at our * station who -wanted to go to
Easthill-on-Sea , She asked the porter
the way to Mrs. Tanner's school. He
questioned the ticket collector , and
even the station master himself , but
neither of them had ever heard of it
I couldn't help feeling sorry for her ,
she looked so tired and sad. It must
ibe hard lines to come off a long journey
and not find any one who can direct
iyou to your destination. "
"Poor thing ! " said Kitty , and then
the subject dropped. None of the three
guessed the influence the lonely little
traveler , was to have on their lives. It
never'dawned on Kity that the un
known girl who was bound for a school
mo one had ever heard of was to be
lier dearest friend.
CHAPTER V.
Nothing will describe the desolation
which filled Beryl Tendon's heart
when she stepped on to the platform
at ? Easthill. She had left London filled
with the one desire of escaping from
her father and stepmother. Ever since
she heard of the former's marriage her
one end and object had been to get
safely away from Elchester square. It
was only when she had actually start
ed , when Mrs. Markham's kindly face
was lost to s.ght , that she realized she
was going among strangers , that a
new , untried life lay before her , with
not one friendly voice to brighten it.
It was a long , tedious journey , and
involved two changes. Easthill was on
a 'branch line , at which only the slow
est of trains condescended to stop.
She was very plainly dressed in
black ; but all her things had come
from a West End shop , and there was
an air of distinction about her not
often seen in a lonely little third-class
traveler.
She was eighteen , though she looked
older a very small , fairy-like crea
ture , with soft , wavy brown hair , and
big , lustrous blue-grey eyes. Her com
plexion was very fair , and had the
daintiest carmine tint.
' - She knew absolutely nothing of the
Country. Brighton. Brussels , where
she had < been at school , and the tall
house in Elchester square had made
up her world. To find herself at a
little rustic station , with only a few
cottages in sight , was almost alarming.
And no one at the station had heard
' . That of itself
of , Mrs. Banner's school.
self was enough to discourage her.
"Don't you be .afraid , missie , " the
station master said kindly. "If you
wrote -to the lady , and she had your
letter , she must live liere somewhere ,
and the postoffice are the best people
to help you find her. You go straight
along this lane till you come to a sign
post , -take the road marked 'Easthill-
on-Sea , ' and presently you'll see four
or five shops. The postoffice is the
first of the lot , and they'll put you
right. "
Beryl left her luggage to the porter's
mercy and started. The lane seemed
Interminable. Perhaps in summer time
it was pretty ; but it was a late season ,
and the trees were hardly in bud. Their
bare branches almost met in the mid
dle of the lane , looking very like black ,
threatening hands uplifted against her
or Beryl thought so. She reached
the sign post -without meeting a single
creature ; but another half-mile
brought her to the shops , and her heart
gave a thrill of relief as she recognized
the postofflce.
It was quite unlike any postorfice
Beryl had ever seen , being a cottage
with all 'business transacted in the
front parlor ; while the room on the
opposite side appeared to be a baker's
one stale loaf and half a dozen stodgy-
looking buns being arranged in the
window.
"Can you tell me the way to Mrs
Tanner's school Woodlands , the house
is called ? " asked Beryl anxiously.
The young woman behind the
counter was better informed than the
railway people , for she answered with
out any hesitation :
"It's the last house on the front
The name's not up ; but you can't be
mistaken because there are no more
houses. "
This was conclusive ; but Beryl fell
positively sinking from weakness and
fatigue. She looked at the loaf ol
bread and buns , and finally asked the
damsel in charge if she could have
some refreshment "a cup of tea or
something. "
"The fire's out , I expect. You can
have a glass of milk and a plate ol
bread and butter , if you like. "
The fare was plain , but it revived
the traveler. The attendant gave her
plenty of local information while she
ate and drank. Mrs. Tanner had not
been at Easthill-on-Sea long. There
wasn't much opening for a school ;
there were very few residents , and nat
urally viators didn't want to send their
children to school when they came
down in the summer.
"You do look tired ! " she concluded.
"But it's not much further now. The
end of this street leads to the front ,
and Mrs. Tanner's is the last house
on the right"
Beryl found the house easily ; but
her heart sank as she looked at it. It
was so new that at the back the piece
of waste ground called a garden was
not yet fenced off , and the front rail
ings had not yet been fenced off.
Woodlands looked as though it had
been built elsewhere , brought to East-
hill on a trolley , and just popped down
on the first vacant space. The wind
howled round it , the waves which
dashed over the shingle seemed to
laugh derisively at it , and even to poor
Beryl the huge board over the front
windows "Ladies' School" seemed
grotesque in such a place.
She rang the bell. It was so stiff
her fingers could hardly move it , and
when at last it rang it made such a
noise she decided Mrs. Tanner would
think her new teacher very impatient.
There was not the least sound of move
ment in the house , and Beryl was
actually contemplating a second ring
when the door was flung suddenly
open , and a very small servant in a
very -big white apron stood regarding
her curiously.
"Is Mrs. Tanner at home ? I think
she is expecting me. I am the new
governess. "
"You're to come this way , " said the
child she really was very little more.
And Beryl followed her across a good-
sized hall to a small sitting-room at
the back , the door of which her guide
opened encouragingly.
"You go straight in , " she com
manded.
It was a very small room , and rather
sparsely furnished ; < but what Beryl
saw first was a tall , slight woman in
widow's weeds , who came forward to
meet her with such a frightened face
: hat the girl felt compelled to take the
initative.
"I am afraid I am later than you
expected , Mrs. Tanner ; but it is a long
walk from the station , and I came
slowly so as not to lose my way. "
"You look cold and tired , " said Mrs.
Tanner gently. "Sit down and warm
yourself. Rhoda will bring tea soon ;
I waited for you. "
"It was very kind of you , " Beryl
began , and then she broke down help-
essly and- cried as though her heart
would 'break. Of course it was behav-
ng disgracefully , it was most unschol-
astic and childish ; but those few kind-
y words had been the last touch.
Mrs. Tanner did not seem in the least
angry. She took Beryl's hand and held
t for a minute or two , then she said
gently :
"I don't wonder at your being upset ,
my dear. When I first came here in
January I loathed the place quite as
much as you can do. I came from a
pretty country rectory , with a dear
old garden and trees that had stood the
test of centuries , and this bleak , desolate
elate place seemed terrible to me ; but ,
Miss Lindon. 'work is the best cure
lor sadness , and even Easthill-on-Sea
seems brighter when one isbusy. . "
-Please forgive me ! " said Beryl ,
pleadingly. "Indeed , I am not discon-
; ented ; it was only that you were so
tind to me. "
"Did you expect me tobe an ogress ? "
asked Mrs. Tanner. "When you have
had some tea and feel rested I will
tell you all about things. I am afraid
you will find plenty of rough places
at Woodlands , but they won't be of
my making. "
Tea was delightful. With curtains
drawn and the lamps lighted , the room
seemed quite a snuggery ; and Mrs.
Tanner saw that Beryl had plenty of
the fare provided.
"I would rather tell you everything
before you see my sister , " she said ,
when Rhoda had taken away the
things. My husband died last Novem
ber. He was the best and kindest man
who ever lived , but he wasn't busi
nesslike , and when all the expenses
were paid I had only 20 and the fur
niture to keep myself and the children.
Of course I knew I should have to
work ; but I had never had to earn my
living , and I did not'know how to net
about it. My sister is the only near
relation I have. She is very rich , and
she likes to manage. She decided I
had better keep a school , then the
twins could be educated for nothing.
Her husband has a good deal of prop
erty round here , and they offered ma
this house rent free for three years.
"Of course" she flushed painfully
"the Wilmots are in a very good posi
tion here , and it would not do for it
to be known any one connected with
them had to keep a school , so I prom
ised Mary I would never mention the
relationship. She has really been very
good. She speaks of me to people as
'a young widow in whom she is inter
ested , ' and altogether I have twelve
pupils. If the new ones promised this
term come tomorrow I shall have fif
teen. They pay 2 a term , so that
I have 90 a year ; but I found out
if I had any one who could teach
French and really good music I should
get more scholars and keep them till
ther were , older. That is why I
thought of getting help. Besides , with
only Rhoda , there is a great deal to
do domestically , and the twins' clothes
have to be made and mended. "
"How old are the twins ? " asked
Beryl.
"Four. Rather young to be in school
all day ; but I can't send them out
alone , and I don't like them to be in
the kitchen with Rhoda. Miss Linden ,
I know I am offering you a very small
salary ; but I think if you and I 'fit
in' you may really be happier here
than in a grander situation. "
"I am sure of it , " said Beryl. "Mrs.
Tanner , I don't think any one in the
whole world can bo lonelier than I
am , and if only you will keep me , I
shall be glad to stay. "
Mrs. Tanner gave a little sigh.
"Mary Mrs. Wilmot will be round
in the morning. You must not mind
if she seems a little overbearing. Oh ,
and there is the thing she wanted mete
to say she does not like your name
at all. "
Beryl professed her regret , but hard
ly saw the objection was her fault.
"It's in this way , " explained Mrs.
Tanner. "The show place near here ,
Dynevor Manor , belongs to a Mr. Linden
don , though General Craven lives
there. Mary thinks it a slight to Mr.
Linden that my teacher should have
the same name. Her husband is his
agent , and goes to see him sometimes
at his grand house in Elchester square ,
Belgravia. Of course I told Mary Mr.
Linden would never hear of my school ,
much less my teacher's name ; but she
was very elisagreeable , and said it
could not matter to you , and that by
changing one letter the name sounded
quite differently. Do you mind being
Miss Lendon ? You see. it won't make
any difference to your letters , because
most people loop their i's now , so that
they look like e's. "
Beryl felt inclined to bless Mrs. Wil-
mot. If , as she now felt positive , her
father were the owner of Dynevor Man
or , why , then , her one desire was that
he might never hear his fugitive
daughter was living beneath its shad
ow. She had never heard him speak
of Sussex , or of possessing property
in the country. Surely it was strange
that , with all England before her , she
should have drifted to the one place
where he had interest.
School began the next day. The fif
teen girls were nice things. Mrs. Wil-
mot's interest had procured some. The
clerk of the works employed by her
husband to watch his interests in the
building operations , sent three small
daughters ; the tax collector contrib
uted two ; 'but ' there was a sprinkling
of a higher grade the curate's only
child , and the doctor's two little nirls.
Mrs. Wilmot struck Beryl as far less
refined than her sister. She and her
husband were rich , and gloried in their
money , though as yet it had not been
able to force an entrance into the so
ciety of Easthill proper , which was cf
the select and exclusive kind known as
"county. "

CHURCH MONEY.
Some Odd AVaya in TVblcli VTomen
Earned It.
The women folk of the Methodist
church at Oxford recently set out to
earn money for certain church pur
poses , and a meeting was held at
which each woman or girl recited the
method by which she had earned her
contribution , says the Boston Journal.
Some of the recitals were funny
enough to convulse the audience , and
a few are epitomized as follows : Miss
Mary Dobbs started out to do some
janitor work , but got tired and sub
contracted the job , though saving for
herself a margin of profit. Mrs. M.
Collins said that one day her husband
was tearing around the house hunting
for his overshoes and said he would
give a half a dollar to know what had
become of them. She told him she
had sold them to the ragman , and
demanded the half. Mrs. Bay kalso-
mined her own house and saved the
dollar which an old colored man de
manded for the job. Miss Zulu Cole
engaged in a great variety of employ
ments. She got 5 cents for washing
Mrs. Middleton's dishes , 10 cents for
doing some sewing for her sister , 5
cents from her uncle for keeping her
mouth shut five minutes , 5 cents for
killing three cats. 15 cents for sweep
ing the sidewalk in front of two stores ,
mid 5 cents for popping some corn.
Miss Lyda Mills made 50 cents by
mending the harness and making a
new halter for tne cow. Miss Lettie
Merrill got 50 cents for doctoring a
sick calf.
Tombs are but the clothes of the
[ lead. A grave is but a plain suit , and
a rich monument is one embroidered

Expressions Emulative for the Good of
Republican Supremacy ,
LINCOLN , Jan. 14.
At this writing the senatorial situa
tion seems to be as far from a solu
tion 'as it was before the legislature
met. The tension is becoming a tre
mendous strain on the constitutions c !
the candidates and their aides-de
camp , and the members of the legis
lature are becoming a trifle wearj
over the outlook.
Diversified interests , state , personal
and otherwise ? arc in evidence , and tin
average legislator Avho will be in the
fight to the end is hardly able to de
cide which way he will jump.
It is conceded that there are manj
of the members pledged to support and
use all honorable means to secure the
election of certain men , but not all of
them are bound. There are many in
both the house and senate who arc
possessed of a free hand , and it is to
these the not directly interested citi
zens look for a happy and honorable
solution of the struggle.
It is a question whether any of the
present aspirants can win. The sit
uation each day seems to get more
complicated , and is fast approaching a
tangle that may only be unravelled by
the throwing over board of every one
now dead set on being elected , and
choosing from among the wealth of
splendid material in the republican
party of the state two of the ablest and
cleanest men to be found , without re
gard to what has happened in the past.
The situation may call for this readout
out of the difficulty , and if it should ,
we see no reason why it should not
come as an agreeable surprise to ev
ery Nebraskan who regards the state's
interests as paramount to all else.
* .
While the partisans of each candi
date are extremely anxious their man
should win , a desire superinduced by
the hope of "getting something , " tl >
average Nebraskan is interested most
in having the state represented in the
senate by able and pure men , who
will not only be able to do something
tangible for the state , but also reflect
credit and honor upon the common
wealth through dignified and conscien
tious efforts to legislate for the people
of the nation in all matters which may
arise in the senate. The partisan does
not care for any except himself , and
he desires most the man from whom
he can get the most. Contrary to the
partisan who thus hopes is the citi
zen who desires that tbe man electe-l
be so fairly and honestly in a clean
fight , and against whom there can
arise not the faintest breath of sus
picion of having secured the position
coveted by foul or tricky means.
H *
An attempt was made last week to
secure a second meeting of the six
leading candidates for United States
senators , but resulted in partial fail
ure. The indications , however , are
more favorable than they have yet
been for the candidates getting to
gether on the calling of a senatorial
caucus.
Four of the six held a second meet
ing. Those present were D. E. Thomp
son. George D. Meiklejohn , Frank M.
Currie and Edward llosewater. With
them was Speaker Sears. They ad
journed to meet again at 8:30 the next
morning , when Governor Crounse and
E. H. Hinshaw , or his representative ,
are expected to be present.
The four who met succeeded in
reaching this agreement : That they
will acquiesce in the calling of a joint
senatorial caucus , which caucus shall
make its own rules ; that the call for
the caucus must be signed by sixty
members to become effective : th.it
forty-five votes shall be required to
make any candidate th-i caucus nomi
nee for United States senator.
The meeting of the republican stat'j
sentral committee , which was to have
been held this week , has been called
aft' . It was rescinded by Chairman
Lindsay in order that there could be
ao misconstruction of the committee's
position. The committee officers in
sist that the organization will main
tain strict neutrality in senatorial
natters , and for fear a meeting just
an the eve of balloting for senator
would be an incentive for some com
mittee to mix in the fight , it was re
garded best to postpone the call , which
was already to be mailed out. Talk of
; he holding of a committee meeting
started tongues to wagging about the
infortunate episode of two years ng.i
when the executive committee was
llsbanded at a stormy session just as
, ha legislature was opening , the pres-
mt officers seem particularly anxious
themselves to
; o avoid subjecting
-.riticism and particularly to head off
jven the possibility of repetition of
: he cause.

lointments for secretary , clerk , sten-

Id Royse cf Broken Bew was chosen

The Douglas county contests in tin
house were settled last evening by tlu
house committee on privileges and
elections in favor of the contestees af
ter a session after the adjournment ol
the house. A number of law polntt
were discussed and the attorneys wen
present to make citations from the rec
ord when necessary. The outcome was
in doubt many times and when the
final decision camp it was on a voti
when the republican members were
divided.
tt V
The entire house committee wa- :
present with the exception of Bios-
ner of Thayer county. The only mat
ter remaining undisposed of was ;
whether the votes alleged to hav *
been illegally voted in South Omaha ,
amounting to a few over 150 , should
be thrown out of the count entirely
This proposition was decided in tiic
negative by a unanimous vote of the
committee as the members found that
the contestants had lot shown that in
vestigations to discover the voters al
leged to have been fictitious were car
ried on in a thorough manner. The
conteptces Disproved enough of their
claims to make the committee hesitate
to act further against them.
The next question was over the votes
cast ty persons who swore in their
votes and failed to comply with the
election law by depositing their alfi-
'lavits in the proper hands. This af
fected particularly the vote in tin :
first ? nd thiid wart's , thirty-eight
votes in the former and five in the lat
ter having been recorded where thi
proper affidavits were not in evidence
The committee by a vote of 7 to 3 on
strict party lines , voted to strike out
all votes where the law governing thu
swearing in of votes had not been com
plied Avith. Tnere remained then the
question of fact as to the number o
votes to strike out.
It was alleged that concerning the
forty-three votes in the wards above
name-l not a word of evidence had
been introduced to show that the voters
ers did not take the prescribed oath 01 :
furnish their affidavit. Chairman
Whitmore of the committee held the
view , following the rules of law. that
the presumption wan the work of the
election judges hart been lawful in ev
ery particular and he would hold that
th ° . votes recorded had been cast le
gally until it was proved otherwise. In
these precincts named he held there
was no evidence shown by the con
testants that the requisite oaths had
not been administered in accordance
with law. It was a fault in taking the
testimony , perhaps , as it could have
been secured , but for his part , he could
not see his way clear to rejecting th-3
votes without tlus needed evidence.
On the vote Brown of Furnas , Tanne-
of Nance , Hamilton of Butler aui
Loom's of Dodge , stood with the chair
man against Marshall of Otoe. Wa-
ner of Lancaste-r , Armstrong of Nema-
ha , and Hibbert of Gage. Tnis was
sufficient to declare that Rohwer , who
is contesting Johnson's scat , will not
sain admittance to the house. Th. ;
Youngs-Hunt ease was decided in the
vole not to exclude the votes alleged
to ha\e been il'egally brought into the
district.
. t
The need of important legislation
on many subjects this session becomes
more and more apparent. The call
for radical changes in the law brings
the necessity of close attention to
work. The legislators therefore feel
the senatorial fight a big burden. It is
the unanimous opinion that it should
be settled at the earliest possible mo
ment. As a great many of the diffi
culties expected from diversified
though important legislation in the
middle of a heated senatorial fight
may be obviated for a constitutional
convention or ti'e appointment of a
commission to codify the laws ana
suggest needed changes , it is likely
that some action that will raise a
? reat burden with one lift miy be ac
complished.
