A Tco Trusting Woman.

ROMANO H! OF THE SB A.

* A story of alleged heartless HecopHon of a lady visitor from Kn^lan'l by a man who has since left Australia pos sesses the elempn'a of a genuine ro mance of the aea Mrs Payne, the uofortanatp victim, became well acquai&terl with sever*! J of her fellow passengers* by the Aber deen, Her story, which she tolH geveraiof them on the voyage between Sydney and Melbourne, has won h< jr » great deal of sympathy It appears that the !«dy, wbo is a widow, was living In a London suburb lifewaontha ago, when she mnfe the man who ia now the object of a flparob by the Victorian police. Mra^ Payur Was in a very comfortable p siiion, and on becoming friendly with th« • wanted ' man, she revealed her financial position to him. They became engaged to be married, and resolved to commence lifa together in Australia. Mrs F.vyoe ■t»toB that she converted as much of her property as possible into cash, and handed it orer to bim to remit to Sydney, where they proposed making their home and establishing themselves ia a buiiness

They then booked passages by the Aberdeen, travelling as Mr and Mrs Payne, and were accompanied by two young person^ one th« nephew of »Mr Payne,' and the other the dangb ter of Mrs Payne. The young people appeared to have become rs devoted to ®ach other during the voyag* to the Oape as their elders avowedly were, to the apparent annoyance of •Mr Payne/ who publicly threatened to 'kick ' the yoong m>*n til the boat when they reached the Oaf-" Tfc is stated thafc the il! feeling was only apparent, how ever, and that the two men were frequently to be seen in each other's company. Any threat of expulsion was nullified by the announcement •which was made by the young man thafc they had been raarried before they left London. 'J hey left the steamer at the Cape, and the elder conpla con tiDUed thn journey to Australia Mr Payne's temperament is said to hive been of the most awfal order. He spent his money freely at the re freshment bar, "shouted" all bands, Including a number of returned Aust ralian soldiers, to unlimited whiskies, and on one occasion settled a bill for £13, which represented a champagne supper to Borae chosen companions. He exhibited a preference for the soc ety of the steeiaga passengers, and was on that account put down by some of his saloon shipmates as a valet, who had been suddenly raised to prosperity. His luggage was all kept packed separ ately from that of Mrs Payne, presumably in order to be available for a hurried departure, if necessary. Od the arrival of the Aberdeen in Melbourne on the 27th December the couple spent a day in town seeing the sights. Ignorant of the man's intenr tion, Mrs Payne rejoined the ateamer, and did not; discover for some hours after it had sailed that tha man was not on board, and had, moreover, removed his luggage. Her m-inifesb distress attracted the sympathy of her fellow passengers, who started a subscription on her beb ilf. Arrived in Sydney, she raised a little money by disposing of some of her effects, but discovered to her disgust, that a sewing machine which was among hr belongings, had been deliberately smashed up and ren tiered useless

The whereabouts of the missing man is a matter of conjecture, It has been supposed that he sailed for London by the Sophocles a few diys afterwards, and, acting on that assumption, the Attorney General authorised the issup of a notification to th >■ polic^at theOape, who may intercept his hoped return. Mrs Payne isatill in communication with th© Detrctive department of Sydney and Melbourne, and everything is beiog done by sympathetic friends to atone for the wrong which &he has suffered at the hands of an unprincipled scoundrel.

The Argus of the 24th January says: —A cable messige was received from the Natal Police by the Commissioner of Police yesterday notifying him of the arrcßt of George Henry Frostic, for whose apprehension two warrants were -issned on charges of stealing money and j»wei!ery, "the property of Mrs Farah Payne. He was an- ironmonger, carry ing on business at firith, in Kent, and Mrs Payne, who is a widow with two children, was living on her me^ns »t Plums;ead.five mil^s from the township. Mrs Payne states that he sold his business, «nd agreed to remit the pro' ceede, £1800, together with £1900 of of her monpy, to Sydney, where they intended residing and starting a new basinese. They came to Melbourne by the steamer Aberdeen, arriving hera on December 29th, Mrs Payne being accompanied by her two children. Ob arrival in Sydney Mrs Pajae discovered that £20 worth of jewellery had been Btoleo from her boxes, »nd that Frostic had destroyed, as far as possible, the belongings which remainrd to her. r-he put the ma'tf r in the hands <A the police and gave a detailed description, which was sufficiently good to enable the Natal police to arrest him at Durban, where he was found to have in his possession £470 in cash and a quantity of jewellery. H^ will be detained pending the arrival of papers for his extradition to Victoria, The warrants issued charge him with tbe theft of £1900 and of £20 worth of jewellery, the property of Mrs Payne.

But there is a way whereby you may again be strong and vigorous. Mr. Charles Richardson, of 37 Howick Street, Launceston, Tasmania, sends us his photograph and the folkmiag letter; "Once my arirsa wore covered with sores thai: were worse than boils. They were deep rooted in the flesh and caused great suffering. My blood was in an awful condition. At an other time I had & severe attack of iafiuenxa. I could neither cat, Bleep, nor work, and X never expected to recover. AVER'S Sarsaparilla cured mo from both of these violent attacks.
