It should never be. They might take hts body there would be tone or two ttore to go with It when thejdid. The stars were still sharp in the sky. They remained so for some hours longer wbea a breath of wind blew them out like caadles. and day broke, or. father, burst, like a shell. Meanwhile Ttn had struck a creek traded a mil In it to destroy the scent waded within a stone's throw of Jar man's hut, turned tail in a. panic an.

waded back, and miles farther, in the opposite direction. In the creek els he slaked his thirst and laved hi wounds. . He had turned his back oi It when the sun rose. And toward th rising sun he ran and ran until then was a great belt of blue beneath it ic the sky, then hid for the day in a tiny clamp of trees In the midst of an open plain. Here he slept for hours, yet dreamed but one dream of baying dogs and cantering hoofs. When he awoke, the first sound was actually audible, but far away and growing fainter. It passed altogether, and he fell asleep again. Awaking a second time, he found the stars back in the sky, but as yet no moon. And Tom was deadly faint for lack of food. Also his wounds were so stiff that he could scarcely stir, every movement 'a using him pain. Yet he struggled up mna tottered east, with those five fixed

stars snlninjr reeDly upon nis wan

right cheek and haggard profile. How long this continued Tom could

never tell. It might have been hours later or only minutes that seemed like

hours when the climax came. All he ever knew was that his head was by this time very light, and that the moon

was no higher than the trees when it shone upon the stray wether bleating plteously in his path, which was to stand out terribly In his mind ever after. Yet up to that moment a forty hours' fast had been broken but once with sandwiches. It was either this or lingering death. The moon won clear of the trees. It shone Into the glutted eyes and on the blood caked mouth and fingers of as desperate and abandoned a young convict as the settlement contained. He pushed on now with a new and dreadful energy. He thought he smelt the sea. The country, however, was

still well timbered, and Instinctively rather than with conscious precaution the fugitive made his line where the trees were thickest. He was now steering Jealously by the moon, with his head thrown farther back the higher It sailed. Thus it was that a little

later he tripped and staggered without

seeing what it was that had caught his foot, but it felt peculiar, and after a

moment he turned round, stood still

and went back. It was the dead body of a man. The body had not a rag upon it-

Tom knelt to examine it by the moonlight, and a cold thrill ran down

him, which he resented when he had time to think. It showed there was

something human in him yet.

The body was that of a very swarthy man, with wonderful white teeth, upon which the moon shone and glistened In

the ghastliest manner, and pierced

ears, from which the earrings had been brutally torn, and a chapfallen blue chin. Tom thought the man had not been many hours dead. What puzzled him was the apparent absence of a mortal wound where the other

evidences of foul play were so glar

ing. When found, however, the wound itself puzzled him much more. It was

at the back of the sunburnt neck and might have been a bullet wound, but Tom had never seen one before, nor

would he have expected a bullet to

drill a hole so clean and round.

He now behaved as though he had been tripping over murdered men all his life. He had not only recovered his composure; he was able to glory In

It as a sign that his heart was dead

after all and so past bleeding for any

thing or anybody any more. At this

moment he raised hia eyes, and his

new found composure was at an end.

A light flashed through the trees into his eyes a tongue of flame from some

campflre.

Tom listened. No voices reached his

ears save those of the nocturnal bush

The fire was farther off than he had

thought. He got up and first walked, then crept toward the light. The colony was infested with bands of bushrangers. What if here were one and this corpse their handiwork? Now Tom thought of it, one particular and most notorious band had been depredating

this very part of the country ever since

the new year. He had heard envious

reports of the villains in the convicts' huts at Castle Sullivan, and especially had he heard of their terrible Italian

chief, said to be an outlawed brigand

come to seek fresh fortunes in New

South Wales. Of the merciless ferocity of this free alien the most horrifying stories were afloat. Yet the worst of these but feebly expressed one who shot men from behind, stripped their corpses and tore the very rings from their ears. Tom crept near the fire in a personal fright curiously exhilarating In its intensity. He might almost have beea a free man once more, worth robbing, worth murdering for his money. The novel sensation brought back a momentary whiff of unconscious self re

spect It was just the little thought

of having a life worth taking once

more, of being anything to anybody but a beaten dog, and it came and went and was forgotten in the same

moment.

The next he was gazing on a curious scene, and his fears were also at an

end.

In the light of the campflre four men

were sitting solemnly at whist, and three faces more Innocently intent for

the fourth was turned the other way

Tom had never seen in his life. On

his left sat a long limbed stripling whom the others addressed as Slipper

while they shuffled and cut and criticised his play. It was clear that Slip

per was a novice, though an anxious

He didn't interrupt our rub, as a more thoughtless person most certainly would have done. He is a well bred young man, and I like the looks of him. Do you hear, sir? I like the looks of you, but what oa earth's the matter with your mouth?" Tom hung his head and told his story. At its conclusion the little gray man insisted on shaking left hands with him. "You're the kind of young fellow I like to meet," said he. "A runaway convict, of course?" The question was terribly abrupt, but Tom told the truth. "There, there, never mind!" cried the little gray man. "You're not so singular In that respect as your sensitive imagination would appear to suggest.

In fact, you are not the only one in the present circle, so you see that you may hold up your head again and even trust

us with further particulars. May I ask from whose service you have fled?" Tom hesitated. If they should carry him back! "You would rather not say!" exclaimed the little man. "Very natural, very natural; but what if I can guess? What if I said his name began with S, and considered that of his home-

stead hardly justified by the facts, save Insomuch as every man's dwelling is his Castle?" Tom's face convicted him. It was transfigured with amazement. The travelers exchanged significant glances and proceeded to regard him with an Interest obviously redoubled. "How did you know?" he cried. "I knew nothing. I only guessed." "But how?" "More convicts abscond ' from that particular establishment than from any other in the colony. Then I perceive that you are suffering from fifty lashes" "A hundred!' "Indeed? And more convicts are flogged on that farm than on any other In the land. A nice place! I know something about it I intend knowing more." Slipper laughed. "But you mustn't let a hundred lash

es depress you," resumed the little gray man In his smooth and soothing

talent of the game. His partner was a wall eyed man without a smile. Neither did Tom hear a word from the

one whose black hair and sullen shoulders were toward him, but opposite

whom, facing Tom, sat the visible life

and soul of the party.

This was a little elderly man with

gray tufts upon his bloodless cheeks and horn spectacles pushed halfway up a singularly benevolent brow. He sat tailorwise, like the rest, but played his cards in a way of his own. He had only one hand for the job. His right arm terminated in a polished hook with a cork at the end of it, but there knelt at his side a gigantic aboriginal, who threw down each card as the player touched it with the cork. Such was the party. At the first glance Tom had looked anxiously for the bloodthirsty Italian brigand, but he soon forgot bis existence in the presence of this innocent group, who were not even

playing for money. Tom heard their horses champing hard by beyond the firelight, set them down as a party of drovers and stepped fearlessly among them the instant the rubber came to an end. The wall eyed cne lmmdiately drew a pistol, while Slipper leaped to his Ionic ikes

says: "Dr. King's New Discovery is

my best earthly friend. It cured me

of asthma six j'ears ago. It has al

so performed a wonderful cure of in

cipient consumption for my son's wife. The first bottle ended the terrible

cough, and this accomplished, the oth

er symptoms left one by one, until :

she was perfectly well. Dr. King s

New Discovery's power over coughs

and colds is simply marvelous. No

other remedy has ever equalled it.
