Blaydes has not the money, but gives Tom his gold watch, and Tom signs an agreement to pawn the watch and givo the ticket to Blaydes. Tom leaves and is accosted by a deformed man, who asks tho time. The next morning Blaydes is found brutally murdered beside the stile where he had been talking to Tom. '
V. Blaydes has been robbed of everything, among which the newspapers mention 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

"Oh, the young cove's not the worst.
It's the old cove I was thinking of." "What old cove?" "Dr. Sullivan, this one's father.
He had a father, then? Mr. Nat had never mentioned him. And the old man was worse to do with than the
Bon?
Tom ptst these questions to himself
and then another to his friend the bar. man, after shortly telling the latter
about the behavior of the Iron gang. "Why was all that?" said Tom. "Why? Because half them crawlers have worked for the Sullivans In their time. They get you flogged and flogged and flogged till all the work's flog-
fed ont or you; then they get you six
months In the crawlers, and like as
net that's the end of you."
"Why doesn't somebody put a bullet
through them both?"
"Because the coves have got the pluck. That's their secret. They don't
know what fear is. So there's seventy strong men up there and over a hundred in harvest time, and the whole boiling afraid of them two!" .Torn said no more: neither did he have much to say to Mr. Nat next day la their saddles. Neither did Mr. Nat have anything at all to say to him before ifightfall, so severe had been bis latest "touch of the sun," but to
ward evening they left the road, and as the moon was rising in a velvet sky lights also broke upon them through some trees. Dogs innumerable began to bark, and as young Sullivan stooped to open a gate he pointed across it to the lights and said that there was Castte Sullivan at last. "And hark you here," he added savelx. seizing Tom's bridle on the other side, as thouzh every releeminc
CHAPTER XVI. I J JIK new groom rubbed his eyes II in the moonlight. He could IS have laughe'l aloud. English castles he had seen, Irish castles he had heard about, but what was this? A Jumble of slab huts on the right, and facing these a wooden, one storied rectilinear eyesore three sides house, the fourth a formidable palisade, and in their midst an arid courtyard overlooked by French windows and glass doors. No creeper clung to the whitened walls. No shrub softened the rigid angles of the yard, and the veranda was too shallow for real shade. Yet the site had been chosen on a
ridge of red gums that had been left unfelled beyond the palisade and rustled restfully above the slab huts opposite, rendering the latter the more inviting quarter of the two. The riders dismounted at a gate In the palisade, and as young Sullivan led the way into the courtyard a tall, bent figure in a frogged coat and a plaited straw bat stepped down from the veranda and then stood still.
"What's this?" cried an arrogant and aged voice. "Only one, eh? What
have you done with the other two?
"Couldn't get them, sir," responded
Mr. Nat in a tone quite new to Tom.
It was a very model of filial respect
and dutiful subservience.
"Couldn't get them, sir! Why, what
d'ye mean?" the old man thundered
we applied for two laborers and a
groom. Why couldn't you get them?'
"The fact is I did," stammered Nat,
"only two out of the three were hope

"Phthisis?" cried Dr. Sullivan, who
was an old army surgeon and the bugbear of sick convicts and malingerers alike. "Not phthisis, eh?" "That was it, sir the very word the doctor used when I made him overhaul them. He said it was no use my taking them, as they'd certainly die on our hands." "Humph! He may have been right, but I'd trust a convict to sham death Itself with anybody but me," said the old gentleman, looking hard at Tom. "I wish I'd seen them myself. However, I'll take his word and yours and complain to the assignment board" "I've done all that sir," hurriedly In
terrupted the son. "I stayed the week out doing nothing but complain. They'll remember me, I promise you. It'll never happen again to us. Then at the end of the week I couldn't resist
another Sunday, and you wouldn't grudge it me, father, If you'd beard the sermons I heard In St. Philip's
church morning and evening. I must
tell you about it later on."
"You must, you must. No; I don't
grudge you that, my boy. heaven knows," said the old man. mollified In n moment. He took a bamboo cane from under his arm and rapped Tom smartly across the shoulders. "And what of-this rascal?" -he added "What's he good for?" "Groom." "Can the ruffian ride? "Not so badly." "Understands horses; does he, and has behaved himself on the way?' "Yes, on the whole, very well." "Then let him take them round to the stables and come back here for his supper. He may have it in the kitchen tonight; only recollect, you convict, that If you misbehave either there or

punishment for anything you do amiss
on my estate shall be all the heavier
on that account. So now you know.
And don't you say you hadn't a fair
warning at the start"
With this Dr. Sullivan shook his cane
In tho new groom's face and called his
overseer, for whom he had directions
to which Tom did not listen. He was
more interested In a lighted door on
the right, where stood a female on the
threshold at what he conceived to be the kitchen and whither Mr. Nat him
self had thrown furtive glances. But
now father and son went indoors arm in arm. The overseer came up, a gruflt man with flaming whiskers, and Tom caught him also looking wistfully toward the lighted door before he was bidden to "come this way."

So he followed the fiery whiskers to the stables, a long log building some little distance beyond the house, and here Tom was so smart in unsaddling and so quick to find chaff bin and oat sack and saddle room that hi3 surl i companion was moved to rude ad. vances. "You're pretty handy, he growled, "Been a groom before?" "Only since we left Sydney. "Well, you're in luck too. The groom fcere has a room to himself next the saddie room. Come and 111 show it you." The room In question was very small and squalid, with a fixed bunk and a foul paillasse, but Tom thought it would be delightful with nice clean straw, and to be alone at nights was to compass an unexpected and unspeakable luxury. Ginger whiskers pointed out the other convicts quarters on their way back to the house. They were the slab huts opposite the palisade. Two were large, the others all
anialL " That was the overseer's hut
wlfn the big chimney and the little
veranda.
"And who's the overseer?" inquired
Tom. "Mr. Nat?"
"No, I am, and hark'ee, my beauty,
here we are at the kitchen, and you're
a well set up youngster, ain't you? But no games with the girl or there'll be
trouble! In you go. You'll thank me
for the warning when you've seen a
bit."
Tom thanked him then and there
and was in the kitchen next moment
It was empty, but from the adjoining

rested Tom's steps. Spurs then jingled out of the scullery by an outer door,
and In the Inner one stood a fine young
woman, with black hair disheveled.
and a broken piece of crockery in ei
ther hand.
"An me to pay for it!" Tom had heard her mutter, but in the doorway
she stood without a word, her steel gray eyes upon him till he colored.
when she flung the broken pieces on
the dresser and clapped her hands.
"The first blush Iver seen at Castle
Sullivan!" cried she. "An is it the new groom ye are? Shake hands, then, and make frinds wid the cook. It's
Peggy O'Brine me name is. so now tell
me yours and all yer hlsth'ry, while I
get ye as good a male as ye can hould.
So he told her his name, but nothing
more, and she looked at hira closely as
she laid the cloth. "Sure, it's a special
he is!" she murmured. "Poor man, I
might have seen it wid half an eye.'
And she sighed and clicked her tongue as she put meat and bread upon the
board; then looked at him wistfully and
long with her clear, bright eyes, for he
had rested his elbows on the table and had hidden his face, touched to the
heart by the womanly kindness of her voice. He had heard nothing like it since that fatal night in ApriL now
eight long months ago, nor. when he looked up, had he seen anything from that night to this like the womanly
compassion in those Irish eyes.
She cut him some mutton and a slice
of bread. She put the knife and fork In his hands, but he made no use of
them.
Ah, now, pluck upf she coaxed.
"Pluck up an ate."
He made an effort, but could not fin

The absence of this liclr to bind marital life tether. the absence of this one pledge to mutual affection Is a common disappointment. Many unfortunate couple become estranged thereby.
