“Captain Charlie”

By M. QUAD

To begin at the beginning, Charles F. Thorpe was the son of an innkeeper near Cheltenham, England, and at the age of eighteen had the reputation of being a roysterer. He did not drink or gamble, and no one could say that he was dishonest or unfilial, but he craved adventure and was constantly in trouble. He accidentally shot a gamekeeper and was sent to the penal colony at Botany Bay, Australia. He escaped from there and became a bushranger. I was herding sheep on the Bogan river when one evening young Thorpe walked in on me. He'was in good health, full of good nature, and his convict life had not hardened his heart. Young Thorpe had no sooner taken to the bush than he was given the title of “Captain Charlie.” For the first seven or eight months he had no companions. During this time all his work was on the highway. He held up several stages and half a hundred lone travelers and. on three occasions shot men from their saddles. He bad the reputation of being brave to recklessness and of being a “square man.” He would not rob a poor man, nor would he shoot unless fired upon first. If he stopped a stage and there were women passengers he treated them with the utmost courtesy. He would take nothing from a settler without paying for it. and now and then he gave them warning that the natives were out on a raid and gave them time to prepare for defense.

He would probably have continued to worst alone had it not been for an escaped convict named Treat. This man was thoroughly vicious and had not one redeeming trait. In escaping from the penal settlement he killed two of the guards, and he was no sooner in the bushithan he gathered around him five or six other hard cases and began a merciless war on ail outsiders. In three months they killed eight travelers, settlers and herders, and. not content with highway robbery 1 , they looted stores, taverns and farmhouses and .applied the torch in sheer wantonness. Looking upon “Captain Charlie” as a namby phmby fellow, who was unworthy of being called a bushranger, they sought to hunt him down. In self defense he organized a band of his own, numbering five, and. though they were pretty tough fellows, he held them well in hand and would permit no violence when it could be avoided. The first meeting between the two bands took place on my range. Treat had" somehow heard that I was friendly to “Captain Charlie..” He made a night ride of thirty-five miles with his band to kill me and destroy the herd. The captain heard of his intentions, and just at sunrise one morning both bands rode out of the scrub within fifty rods of my hut. A tight took place at once, and within ten minutes Treat’s band was driven off with the loss of three men. “Captain Charlie" had one man killed and two wounded. An adventure much talked of through New South Wales was the “bailing up” of sixteen mounted police, who had followed “Captain Charlie" and three of his men into the hills. Worn out with thirty hours of hard riding, the entire band fell asleep at night in their camp. The bushrangers crept in on them and ran off their horses and removed every firearm and then vanished. Every one could have been killed while he slept, but no one was harmed. On another occasion “Captain Charlie” learned that two bushrangers who had lately set up in business in his territory had made prisoners of three men and their wives, who were traveling by stage, and were holding them in the hills for ransom. He made a ride of forty miles with his men, hunted through the hills for two days and finally found the captives. As the bushrangers refused to give them up without ransom, the captain paid over to them the sum of $2,000 in gold and escorted the grateful people to the nearest farmhouse. He then returned and warned the two trespassers to leave his territory, and while making their way north they were captured by the police. In only one instance did the chevalier of the bush betray a spirit of revenge. A settler whom he had several times befriended put the police on his track, and in escaping pursuit he rode his favorite horse to death. Later on he captured his betrayer on the highway and tied him to a tree and gave him a terrible whipping. For a period of tfro years and a half “Captain Charlie” held full sway in the district, hotly pursued most of the time, but always escaping, but at last his time came, as it came to all others of his ilk. There was a quarrel in his band, and it divided. He came to my hut with a cpmpaniou one night at midnight, and after I had prepared them a meal they lay down and slept till daylight. Meanwhile the men who had broken away got word to. the police, and at daylight the bluecoats were in ambush around the hut. As the two men stepped out they were shot down in their tracks, and both were dead when the officers got them. Somewhere among the hills “Captain Charlie” had planted plunder, believed to amount to $50,000; but, though it has been searched for by scores of men for the last thirty-five years, it has never been found.

BROOKLYN TABERNACLE BIBLE-STUDY ON

THE GOOD SAMARITAN. Luk* 10:25-37—Jan. 18. "Thou Shalt tore thy neighbor at thyself.”— Mark 0:31. OUR Studies since the first'of the year relate to the six months of our Lord’s ministry. Jesus knew that His death was approaching; that He must, as the antitypical Passover Lamb, be put to death the following Spring, on the fourteenth day of the first month. His ministry had only begun to awaken the people. The seventy, whose ordination, or commission, we considered a week ago, were sent across the Jordan into Perea. Shortly afterward, Jesus Himself went thither. The purpose of His ministry was to thoroughly awaken the Jews to the fact that the time of their visitation had come. This witness bore fruit—after Pentecost. Later, the seventy returned, expressing joy and confidence, remarking that even- the demons were subject to them in the Father’s name. The Master took occasion to tell them that they overlooked their chief cause of joy. saying. “Rejoice, rather, that your names are written in Heaven”—than that demons are subject to your command. So it is with us. Salvation is a personal matter, and works and preaching are merely incidentals connected with it. The great- time for works is future. Then, if faithful, we shall be associated with the Redeemer in His work of regenerating humanity. Who Is My Neighbor? At this point today’s Study opens. A lawyer thought to entrap the Master by asking. “Master, what shall I do to Inherit eternal life?” In those days, when Israel’s only law was God s Law.

a lawyer was one well versed in Moses’ teachings. Jesus therefore said, How do you understand the matter? You know what is written in the Law. The Doctor of Theology replied, We are to love the Lord our God with all our heart, with all our soul, with

all our strength, with all our mind; and our neighbor as ourselves. Jesus approved. saying, Do this—keep the Law, and you shall live. You will never die. The lawyer was caught. He knew that the people of Israel had been dying for centuries, notwithstanding the Law; yet himself and others were outwardly claiming to keep the Law. Out of his own testimony Jesus showed him that he was not keeping the Law. as he and the Pharisees in general pretended to do. No fallen man can keep God’s perfect Law; for it is so comprehensive that only a perfect man could keep it thoroughly. The lawyer sought to make the best of a bad argument. Instead of acknowledging his defeat, he asked. “Who is my neighbor?” This was one of the points which Jesus had particularly made against the Pharisees—that they were outwardly pious, re-ligious-prayed, fasted, etc.; yet in heart they were unjust, and took advantage of widows and orphans, not loving these as themselves. The lawyer sought to imply that according to God’s law only certain special ones were neighbors. Should Do Good to All as We Have Opportunity. Jesus again outgeneraled him. saying. I will give you a parable. A man going, down to Jericho was beset by thieves, who wounded him and left him half dead. There happened that way a priest, one of the highest repre sentatives of the Law. When he saw the man. he passed by on the other side. Likewise a Levite passed by. next in relationship to God’s service. He went near, looked at the man. but did nothing. Then came along a Samaritan. who bound up the wounds, took the man to an Inn, cared for him at the sacrifice of time and strength, and finally paid for his keep until his own return from Jerusalem. Now. said Jesus, which man acted the neighbor’s part? The lawyer answered that it was the one who showed mercy. Jesus replied that this

Then Came a Samaritan.

head or render formal worship. He especially delights to see us cultivate His own spirit of love, kindness and generosity. Well does the Apostle tell us that love is the fulfilling of the Law. and that love is the principal thing in character, in Divine estimation! All else cotints for nothing in God’s sight. ' Evidently the great lesson for Christians to learn is to put away all anger, malice, envy, hatred, strife, and to put on meekness, gentleness, long-suffer. ing. brotherly kindness, love. St Peter tells us that if we do these things we shall never fall, but that an abundant entrance shall be granted to us into the everlasting Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.—2 Peter 1:10, 11.

“Who Is My Neighbor?"

should be an example to the lawyer that he should be kind, thoughtful, generous to whoever needed help. We do well to remember God’s object in giving c o m m andments. He does not take pleasure in the number of times we bow knee or
