Me 1 March "Ah, miss, come on!" urged Peggy In an agon j for Tom. "She shall!" he mattered, with the nozzle of one pistol against the lady's neck. And so between them they got Iier to the back of the house and thence across the open space to the stables. As they ran Tom turned Lis head and just saw one end of a chain of ruddy convict faces, all horribly Intent upon some unseen spectacle before the palisade. The stable proper faced the open gate through which the bushrangers had ridden. Their saddled horses stood two In a stall, and Tom was backing out a couple when he discovered Peggy meddling with a third. lie told her ,hree would not be wanted. "An what about you?" "I stay with my mates." "Wld thim murtherin vlU'ns?" "I'm one myself." "Already?" she cried. "Tom, Tom" It was his turn to hold up a warning hand. Miss Sullivan stood listening at the door, but not to them. Tom listened too. For some Instants all was still. Then a thwack, thwack, thwack, was greeted with a yell of savage Joy, and Miss Sullivan was gone from the door. "Let her go!" cried Tom, seizing Peggy's wrist. "I did my best for her. You. at all events, shall be saved." "Not without you, Tom." "Nonsense, Peggy I I must see this through." "An' so must I. then." With these words, she set her back to the open door. But there stood Tom. looking past and beyond her, as though he bad not beard one of them. Presently a soft laugh came from his lips. "All right, Peggy! You are safer than I thought Look behind you." The girl obeyed, and there, trotting ! two abreast through the open gate, were a score of troopers, with the frlare from the still blazing hut reddening their whiskered faces, Jeweling their spurs and gilding from hilt to point the waving sword of the lad who rode at their head. Teggy stood aghast, with an amaze ment that left no room for thought. It j Tvas only when the cavalcade h.td ewept close by apd so out of sight at a jrailop that she heard .Tom ppeaking to her from a height. He had himself mounted one of the horses and was entreating her to stand aside and let him out. And then she realized how the situation had reversed itself and how he was now the one to fly and gallop for his life. Without a word, she sprang out of his way. He clattered under the lintel and was gone. She came out to see him gallop through the open gate. He had already vanished, but not that way. . He had dashed, to tile assistance of his rascally mates. But a dozen" shots had been fired already and blue wreaths were curling In the glare-like clouds at sunset. Wall-eye lay stretched upon his face. Slipper and the aboriginal were fighting desperately back to back, but both were wounded and their moments cumbered. Troopers surrounded them; others were already endeavoring to restore order among the convicts, while one, a sergeant, was being dragged end bumped about with one foot twisted In his stirrup and hia dead face smothered with blood. Tom looked about for Hookey Simpson and found him on the verge of shaking off four troopers and the ensign. One saddle he had emptied with his pistol. As Tom came near he hooked the ensign out of his, but was within an ace of being dragged to the ground in doing so. The ensign's stock gave way and saved him. Ere he could recover himself a trooper took deliberate aim at the little man. Tom saw him, however, and fired point blank at the outstretched arm. It fell, and the next Tom knew was that he and Hookey were galloping neck and neck for the gate with but one pursuer close upon them. Hookey had apparently received no hurt. The battered hat was off and his benevolent forehead rose high and white above his mask. It was to be Tom's last memory of the little gray man. He had thrown away one pistol, drawn another and turned to fire It with every furrow of that fine brow showing In the glare. But Tom heard the man behind fire first and saw those furrows leap into space like snapped f.ddle strings, and he galloped through the gate alone. Whether the slayer came to grief over the slain or how else to account for it. Tom never knew, but he now got a start which he was destined to keep and to Increase. ' Now also he befran for the first time to appreciate the piece of hard bitted horseflesh between his knees. He had taken the dead Italian's roan, which had been led riderless to the farm and was thus comparatively fresh. It was a great fraunt brute, with a mouth like leather, as Tom had discovered to his cost in the skirmish. Once through the gate, however, he felt that no more; the l east had run away without his knowing it Indeed he knew very little for the first few minutes except that the moon was setting at his back and he was once more beading for the sea. This he gathered from the grotesque shadow leaping along between the roan's ears. His first conscious effort was to keep that shadow dead ahead. Now he lost It where the timber thickened, now he found it in an open glade. At length the shadow failed and vanished, and it was very dark Indeed, but on went the roan with Tom on Ita. withers to avoid invisible boughs, "and when the "sky -lightened he could have shouted for Joy, for the roan's ears took shape against Its lightest point He did not shout because his pursuers would have heard him, for all this time lie had heard, them at intervals, and

The joy of that wild ride through the gum trees to the seal He forgot the little value he had set upon his life and rode for it now as men ride for nothing else. Yet he recked but little of the result He knew no fears and no re grets, but instead an exhilaration such as he had never known before. It might.be his last hour. He reveled in It the more was the more grateful for it on that account To have tasted such life as this at life's end! To die after this with no more pain! To reach the sweet sea and swim out to rest! And now he smelt it The rushing air was spiced with salt' Even in the pungent forest be detected it through all the odors and was mistaken in that no more. Only one question remained In his mind. Would the roan hold out? Would the roan hold out? Long ago the pace had slackened. Long ago Tom had stooped and ripped his big boots down to the ankles and cast them from him with all else that had been the Italian's. He was now riding a light ten stone in his shirt and trousers. His bare feet were numb from standing In the stirrups to ease the roan. But the trees had been rushing past in myriads half the night, and still they stood against the morning skyline, like blots of ink upon a slate. In myriads more. On the other hand, he had heard nothing of his pursuers for some time and was beginning to wonder whether they had given up the chase. Their horses might well have started less fresh than his. Had they given it up or had they not? Tom had asked himself the question for the twentieth time when something happened, and he had his answer sitting stupidly on the ground. The roan was disappearing amid the trees, with the saddle beneath its belly. Its startled gallop died away like the roll of a drum. But heavier hoofs were coming up behind. Tom sprang up, but sat down again with a ye!p of pain. His ankle was badly sprained. He felt for a weapon, but be had thrown them all away. Even his knife he seemed to have hurled after the long boots or left In a pocket of the blue jacket, which had been Jettisoned in its turn. He sat 6111 and groaned. To have to surrender sitting still! What an end to his ride! What a beginning of the end of all! The heavy hoofs came nearer, nearer. Three troopers labored into view, gave a yell and put spurs to their tired horses, but ceased to spur them when they saw their man. "Why, who are you?" cried they. "The man you want." "I wish you were. You're all we shall get with these horses. But you must have heard him pass." A light broke over Tom. He said he had heard it, but some time since, when it was darker and he was half asleep. "And what made you think you were our man?" asked another trooper suspiciously. "I I I'm a runaway convict." "Then you're better than nothing," cried the former speaker. "You'll come with us. But the man we've lost is an Italian, and there's precious little of the Italian about you." There was less than little. He had thrown everything away, but without a thought of saving his neck by so doing. Nor indeed had he saved it yet CHAPTER XXII. II HE stockade smoldered In the 1 1 midst of a hard baked plain J 1 that was as brown as shoe leather and as devoid of any Rort or kind of vegetation, as though it were shaved every morning with some monstrous razor. Trees there were In the distance, marking more than, half the skyline, as though the place had been shaved especially for the stockade, but not a solitary bush was within reach. And the sight of the trees, whose leaves they never heard and whose shade they never felt, was one more torment to those of the eighty prisoners who still lifted their heads to look so far. The majority, however, let their dull eyes redden by the day together on those few hard and blinding yards which might chance to occupy their picks and shovels from 5 in the morning till the going down of the sun. All day they labored in chains beneath the barrels and bayonets of the military. In the evening when they returned to the stockade loaded muskets and fixed bayonets showed them the way. Even In the stockade Itself fixed bayonets and loaded muskets gave them their supper. Thereafter they were locked up for the night in o many small boxes lined with ledges something more spacious than bookshelves. On these ledges they lay down, as close as mummies in catacombs, until It should be 5 o'clock once more, and perhaps after a time the only sound would be the clank of his fetters as this man or that turned over in the magnificent space of eighteen inches that was allotted to each. It was the same stockade of which E-richsen had seen the outside on his way to Castle Sullivan In the early part of December. He paw the inside by the end f FKruary when Stracban gave him six months of it for absconding and by so doing made open enemies of the Sullivans. They wanted to have the breaking of Tom's spirit all to themselves and tried to dictate another fifty lashes and the convict's return to service, but this time Strachan was firm, passing, indeed, the most merciful sentence possible In the circumstances. The six months began on Wednesday, the last of February, in the year 1S3S. First they took his name and made an inveatory of his marks. scara and

Next they took away his farm laborer's clothes, which were not branded, and put him in a Parramatta frock and trousers, which were. And now they clasped around his body a green hide belt, from which depended in front a heavy chain that became two heavy chains' at about the level of the knees, and the two chains ended in still heavier rings around either ankle, and the whole made a capital Y upside down. In this harness it was impossible to walk, though with practice you might waddle, and it was never struck off for a single instant on any pretext whatsoever. They now presented him with a spoon all to. himself. His knife and fork, his pannikin and his mess kid he was to share with five other felons. Lastly they showed him his eighteen inches, where he passed the Intolerable night In wendering why he had not given himself up as the Italian's understudy and In wondering even more why he still would not do so if it were all to come over acrain. for he knew he would not. Indeed, one of the most dreadful features of this present phase was the tenacity with which the poor wretch found himself clinging to life in each emergency despite all his cooler longings for the end. He longed for that more than ever, but he saw now that death must come to him. He might sink to murder; to self murder he could never stoop. Or so he thought at the beginning of this term of broiling days and fetid nights, with foul compauy and heavy Irons common to both. Meanwhile such feelings as were left him were still tolerably keen, and it was a real thrill) that toward the end of the first week he woke up at his work to hear the others hooting and turned round to see Nat Sullivan once u.ure riding down the line. The thrill became a shiver. The blue eyes were fixed on Torn, the great Up was thrust out at him. and bsfore Tom the rider reined up. "You villain'." said il.. Net. w:!h inexpressible malignancy roice and look. "You villain I ve round you out!" JL line of red eye tiu ns watered in the sun, then fell with a glimmer of Interest from the scowling horseman to the prisoner accosted. Tom had already piqued such attention as hjs new companions were in the habit of bestowing upon any fellow creature, for few there were who joined that morose and fierce crew with tbe stamp of such raoroseness and ferocity already on them. Those few were crabbed old hands, but here was raw youth, and yet in three long days they had not heard his voice. Nor did they now. Tom moistened his palms and took a new grip of his pick, but that was not all. He was seen to tremble, and he nearly pinned his own foot to the ground. What was it he had done and been found out in, this cub whose teeth were always showing, but whose voice .was never heard? A perspiring sentry strolled up, his once red swallowtail coat hanging open upon his naked chest and his white trousers sticking to his legs. He was the only one whose curiosity went the length of a word. "What's he been doing of?' said the sentry, wetting his hand on his chest to cool his musket stock. "We've only 'ad 'im 'ere these three days." "You won't have him many more," said Sullivan. "The hangman will hav him." "Yes?" "Yes. Look at him trembling." (To Be Continued.) GOOD NEWS TO WOMEN.
