II lends Captain iUaydes i.'3o, the amount of his passnrc money, and in return gets a worthless check, which leaves him penniless. He confesses his error to Claire Harding, his boyhood sweetheart. II. James Edward . William Daintrce is in love with ClairIII Tom finds out that Captain Blaydvs is paying attention to Claire and i3 to be at her house that night. He vows to have satisfaction from Blaydes, but promises Claire that he will not seek Hlaydes for two weeks. Tom meets Blaydes a few moments late und demands his 25. IV. Hlaydes draws a sword cane on Tom, who smashes it with a heavy stick which he carries. Blaydes has not the money, but gives Tom his gold watch, and Tom signs an agreement to pawn the watch and give the ticket to Blaydes. Tom leaves and is accosted by a deformed man, who asks the time. The next morning Blaydes Is found brutally murdered l.?.ilde the stile where he had been tu! king to Tom. V. Blayde3 has been robbed of everything-, anions w hich the newspapers luention the gold watch which was really given to Tom. Tom had stopped for the night at the house of the man who was driving the coach at the time Tom met Blaydes. He is accused by the coachman of being the murderer. He escapes and disguises himself, but Is afraid to pawn the watch. VI Tom spends the night In a boathouse and next day is Invited in to the houso of a small fat gentleman. the owner, who does his best to make Lira feel at home. He Is betrayed by this man into the hands of the police for the murder of Blaydes. VII Claire believes him guilty. Mr. Harding hires a lawyer to see Tom. The lawyer thinks Tom is guilty and Insults him iu his ceil. Tom throws out. VI f I Claire gets Dalntree to retain Bassett. one of the best criminal lawyers fn England, to plead Tom's cause. IX Tom Is held for the next criminal sessions court. X. Claire's maid has overheard the conversation between Claire and Tom on the night of the murder, when Tom ewore he would get even with Blaydes if he bad to kill him to do it. The maid compels Claire to give her some l her jewels as hush money. XI Tom is convicted of murder in the first degree. XII Tom is placed in the condemned cell. XIII Tom's sentence is commuted to transportation for life. XIV Claire's engagement to Daintree is announced. The latter's fathtr warns Claire's father against Daintree. XV. Tom, as a convict in Australia, is bound out to the Sullivans, a peculiar and harsh family, who live far in the interior at a place dubbed Castle Sullivan. "It's all up. Jones," said that philoso pher, with the blunt intimacy which had made Tom like him from the first "My good wife has discovered who you are. and she refuses to leave her bed while you remain In the house. She lias read of you in the English papers, confound them, and she simply won't Iiave you on the premises! It seems unreasonable when you consider that our cook was a bloodthirsty baby farmer, our coachman a professional burglar find so on right through the staff habitual criminals every one which I don't think you are. Still there's another side to it. There's the boy to be considered, and though I think you're the1 very man for him, a mother's feelings must be1 studied in such matters. You sea I like you well enough to be perfectly frank about the matter, but the fact is the chaise is waiting for us outside." So ended that chapter, and Tom was back at barracks In time to hear the rlank of chain gangs shuffling faintly out to work and the swish and whistle of the morning lash. Those two instruments supplied the street music of the convict tiiy. There were few days und few hours when you might not tiear tlioir melancholy duet. To Tom the sound of it was still physical torture, tho more unbearable after this cruel taste of better things. Nearly ell his shipmates had been assigned und taken away in his absence. Only one other "special" was left, a London clerk transported for fraud. Tom's late master, a friend of the superintendent, was allowed to carry him off Jn Tom's stead, and long afterward the latter beard the curious sequel of his own niisfortuue. So thoroughly did his successor teach what he knew that both tutor und pupil were presently transported to Van Dieman's Land for life. The Incident was sufficiently disheartening at ths time, and yet it had its hopeful side. It revealed the possibilities of the assignment system, or, rather, its better possibilities, from the convict's point of view. As a punishment it must needs prove a farce ia a community which preferred to estimate convicts ly their capacity as colonists rather than by their crimes as felons. Such was Tom's comforting reflection, for not yet did he realize how entirely the condition Of the convict was dependent upon the character of the master; but, having bad one good master, though for so brief a period, he looked cheerfully for another. The other, however, was slow to come. Ills false start seemed to tell against Tom with the authorities, ffhey were in no hurry to assign him Bgafn, and presently he found himself the last man of his draft in the barracks, with his hammock the only one i fc-s wins: between the stanchions of the I

'men one morning he heard a row in the yard, and there was a very overdressed, thickset and thick spoken young man abusing the officers because there were no convicts left. "I tell you we applied for three, and, I've come down expressly for them." he spluttered out "Over a hundred blessed miles I've come, from Castle Sullivan, near the Hunter river, for two farm laborers and a groom, all properly applied for in lots of time. And just because I get a touch of the sun and can't come on the right day I'm to g" back empty handed, am I? We'll see about that IU complain to the board." "That won't do no good. We've only one" man left, and the board can't split 'Iin into three." "Oh, you have one, have you? Haul him out and let's have a look at the lubber." So Tom was produced to receive the unsteady scrutiny of a swimming blue eye that told a tale, and was informed with au oath that he was a "special," ad they wanted none of that kidney at Castle Sullivan. Great was Tom's relief, for a coarser face he had seldom seen, but at this the officials remarked that it was a "special" or nothing, and the bleared eyes were on him once more. "Come from the country? "Yes." 'Saddle a horse?" Yes." "And ride him after?" 'Better try me." 'Well, so I will: You be renoy fa an Lour, and a horse'll be ready for you, I'll go back with a groom if with nothing else!" "Wait!" said Tom. "What's up now?" "I'm supposed to hare committed a murder," said Tom through his teeth. "In one family they .wouldn't keep me" The other drowned his words with a bellowing laugh. "You won't be the only one at Castle Sullivan!" cried he. "We don't mind what you've done, bless you, so long as you don't try it ou again up there. If you do" and he jerked a great close cropped head In the direction of the barrack triangles, while a bloated lower lip stuck out like a tongue between his short fair beard and mustache. "There never yet was the lag that bested Nat Sullivan,"' he added, with another of his oaths, "and you don't look the fool to try It on. So be ready In an hour sharp, or you look out!" "Is he Nat Sullivan?" said Tom' to the officers as the stout young man staggered off. "Ay, ay," said they; "that's the celebrated Mr. Nat." "Celebrated?" "They're all that, you'll find, are the Sullivans of Castle Sullivan. You wait j and see. I shan't say nothing to set you agen 'em, but I wish you joy of each other, don't you. Bill?' Bill laughed, and Tom troubled them with no more questions. Mr. Nat did not come in an hour. He came in three, swaying in his saddle, but still managing to lead a pack horse and a horse fojf Tom. His blue eyes were now half closed, and Tom understood him to curse the sun and to mutter something about a fresh touch that morning. They rode off, however, and were near the outskirts of Sydney when Mr. Nat rolled quietly out of his saddle and lay insensible in the middle of Brickfield hill. Tom was at his side in an Instant, No bones were broken. He was simply fast asleep. Tom shook him up and managed to get him to the nearest inn, where he again fell asleep, anathematizing the sun, and so never stirred for hours. And the convict servant stood over the grunting carcass of his free master, and now he marveled at the system which sought to accomplish the amelioration of the felon by trusting him in such hands as these. Tho thing had not even the excuse of an irregularity. There was a brand new government document sticking out of a pocket of the loud check coat within a few inches of the bloated face, and Tom guessed rightly that it referred to himself. Then there had been more preliminaries than he had thought, but that only made matters worse, since what was a scandal In Itself was im measurably more scandalous as part and parcel of a system. Evening came, and Mr. Nat still lay snoring, with his swollen lips wide apart. Tom had not left him yet. being partly occupied with his own thoughts and partly taken up with the various sounds of the inn. Some of these sounds were . sinister, as when stealthy steps came along the passage and an unseen hand tried the bedroom door, which Tom had locked. He did not care to leave the room, not knowing "what the other might have in his pockets, but at last he did so after turning the key behind him and putting it in his pocket. He went first to the stables, where he was surprised to find the horses saddled and bridled in their stalls. He Lad unsaddled them himself after engaging the room for Mr. Nat. There was nobody about, however, to afford an explanation, and it occurred to Tom that the sooner they did get away the better. So he left the horses as they were, but looked into the taproom on his way upstairs, when all he heard and saw confirmed his impression not only of that particular inn, but of the widespread corruption of the convict town. A cattle stealer was drinking with a constable and openly boasting before the latter of his exploits. As Tom listened, however, he heard something else that interested him more. It was the sound of hoofs in the yard behind the iuu. He darted out and met a man riding his master's horse
