Wo wore as wiokel a set, J steadily, though ahe had called mo to her, and asked what they wanted, at our dipgin's, as New South Wales could slight thing. If the "Why, nothin in spec al, miss," stammered Dawllsh. 1 ftlnp his raggetl world's kettle had been set on the boll, , we'd have come to the top as prime, straw hat with politeness, n eor which made rac , tlntfc to scum-truth, and no lie, mate. Kut;"I Mck him; "on'y, is the old boss at dubbed "the .monest us was a man T he fared like 'squire," because, though t the rost of us, lived ana ilresseu just us we did, yet there was that in him which stamped him as of quite a different breed. Swells out of luck are to be found by the bushel in Australia; still, 1 never came upon his double beforo or since. Humor went that he was a bar onet at home in England, but hjwl,boen forced to cut and run; so ho tried New South Wales and the gold dlpgin's, bent on succeeding. I found him at Green Valley creek when I reached it; we worked not far off each other. I can't say 1 liked him. though he was wonderfully quiet and civil spoken, but cold as ice, and hard as nails; a chap who was nerer tired, and who never pave in, but plodded on and on towards his own end, whatever that might be. Hut silent iis'iie was, and selfish, he opened out a bit to me, pra'aps because, though I didn't set up either for a swell or a saint, I wasn't quite 60 bad as the worst in Green Valley Creek. I had been respectably brought up, the son of a small farmer in Kent; but 1 didn't go in for respectability myself; it never agreed with me; so 1 was sent adrlf t at lust with fifty pounds in my pocket, nnd the world before me. There wns a frvsh stampede towards Australia at the time, nnd I joined the general rush and scramble; and, as 1 say, when I had settled down at ray claim "the squire" and I scraped up a sort of friendship. He did not live alone; his daughter was with him, though how and when she reached him none knew; she had reached him, and bore her strange life as best sKe might They dwelt in a small shanty in the midst of many pines, a poor, rough place, far apart from the other huts; a queer frame for 6uch a stately picture of a woman a lady! with the same superior bearing visible in her father. I'd walked that way with "the squire" once, and she ran out to meet him. The sight of her struck me all of a heap, so unexpected In the lonely spot, where- there was no other company than the bright-winged birds, no other sound than the stir of the windy trees. She whs tall, the color of wild roses in her cheeks, Heaven's blue in her eyes. Her dress, dark and close-fitting, had none of the flashy ornaments that women such as we take up with cram on; her hair, coiled smoothly about her head, shone like black satin. "This is one of my chums, my dear," said "the squire" with his soft voice and his hard smile. Since then, I had hung about the log-house often, labor ended. I fetched water, pot in sticks, cleaned boots, or did such odd jobs whicli were not fit for her and said no word; but she found me out in a brace of shakes, and grew used to and was thankful for such help as I could give, knowing that 1 meant no harm, though I startled her at first a great Orson of a chap in my rough gear. One evening I came on her wutching In the gloaming. How eerie it wu there underneath the trees; tin wind soughed through the branches, bring ing a dash of rain; a deluge was in the black clouds sweeping across th sky. "I am anxious about my father," she said, looking like a tall white lily that somehow had been shoved into the wrong pot. aud touching my big lingers with her fine slim hand. "I am nlways anxious about him; though, since knowing you, I have not felt so absolutely distressed, for I am glad to recollect that you are within his call. You would stand between him and harm, I think." "Why, yes, miss; make your mind easy on that score; 'twould be done with a will. Hut what harm is like to come, that you need flurry?" "Oh, but, Mr. Strnightways, it is such a hard, dreadful life for him!" "And for you, miss!" "Ah! but Jin-ill not think of myself; that would never do," she answered, quickly. And, going indoors, she began to tidy the scrap of a room, thus trying to rout her terrors. "Ned!" she cried, stopping suddenly (her father always called me so), "I had such a curious dream last night. I dreamed that I went down into the little valley beyond the wood and there I saw mv father lying on the grass sound asleep so sound that I could not wake him while the clusters of wild flowers sprang up so high that they Jiid him, and 1 heard the pines in the distance chanting a solemn kind of litany. I was crying when I woke." "You are too much alone, miss, and grow nervous." "Perhaps. And then I am troubled about his journey to Goulburn to-morrow, and his taking so much value with him." Goulburn, as I suppose everybody knows, is the chief place in the southern gold-mining district; we all went there at times to'get our gains weighed, or changed, or banked. "Mv father has been very fortunate lately, has he not?" she asked. "He has had some good finds, miss; and to-day he got hold of two jolly big nuggets." , "I am glad. Will he bring them homo this evening? What's that?" and she sprang to the door, flinging it wide open, the shine of the lamp behind her. "Dearest father!" sho cried, "is It ycu?" But sho broke off, alarm In her voice: 'Nedl Ncdl" for no father was there, but two of the worst of our lob scamps for whom hemp was growing; the one a blackguard bailor; the other, a slimy chap, thin, dark, lying. Hit uamo was Phil Dawlish. I remembered now, as I saw him by (the flash of the light, that he as well las I had been near when "the squire- ( held up the two great nupffcte; and it Btruck me I'm quick at conclusions that both scoundrels had not intended to come up to the house, but were just lurking1 round. Y hat for7 l,nmiQ T T in mttc " Mi 1IUU1U1 X UIVUU ! .--i-J, -. translated. "No," she replied, holding her head high, to show she was not frightened; but I, being close to her. could hear her heart thudding Hko a hammer, whilst the blood flamed to her brows under the foul gaze roving over her. "Wiry do you ask?" "Just this, mum. Will you bo so good as tell him that me and my pal's off to U ul ton's ranch for a short spell, and If ho'd lfke to tramp over why. 'tis a mighty 'andeome part o' the country, nnd ha'd b welcome, that's all." "Yon most bo In a hurry to po," I said, putting in my oar, "if you're trudging twenty mile tort pleasure such anight as this." "Oh! we didn't know as you wos in churgo here," with a brutish laugh; "but tho walk is our lookout; the lady can deliver a civil message, 1 hope." "1 will give It," Interposed Miss Helen, "as soonoes my father comes In." "Much obloeged, miss; tlsen theer's nothin' more to ndd; we'll toddle. Good night, miss," and he flourished his hat again. Sho shut the door upon them, drawing a stout bar across it. "Are those the men he works with?" she cried, flincing up her hands "Heaven help us!"" I tried to turn the subject, stirring the fire into a blaze, and pretending to do a lot of things, for I didn't care to leave her. 'Twas my belief the two blackguards were still hanging about. As for their invitation to "tho squire," it was but a He Invented on the moment I was casting round for another job, when she stayed me by asking if 1 would po to meet her father. "But you" "Nay; 1 do not mind. The little house is secure. Why," with a wistful smile, "1 am always alone from day break until dark." I knew it was the fact; so, bidding her open to none until she heard me or "the squire" whistle, I started on my errand. Not very far had I to go, for I met him In that same little ravine of which his daughter had dreamed; It skirted the pine wood. His pick was over his shoulder, his right hand in his pocket-feeling the nuggets, perhaps. He was singing a song in some foreign lingo, Italian or Spanish. He looked more content than i had seen him more at rest, nodding to me in his patronizing fashion. After a few stray words, I related what hud happened, udvising him to be on his guard. "Thanks. I will," he replied, haughtily amused nt the scamps asking him to pay a visit in their company. "But I've a secret to tell you, Ned," he added. "I have done with Green Valley creek, and shaken olf its crew. Luck has favored me beyond my hopes; I can afford to turn my back upon it 1 shall take my daughter she does not know it yet with me to Goulburn to-morrow, where we shall remain fcr a short time, then go on to Melbourne; I have thoughts of settling there." As he spoke, the little tie of comradeship between us shattered; in a moment we were sundered as the poles, so quietly he brushed it away. "If you like to step round early in the morning nnd see us off. you can. Why, my good fellow, you look quite down. Well, it is kind to be sorry to lose me. Wo shall meet the wagons nt the end of the wood. If those scoundrels intend to dog my steps I agree with you their trip to Hulton's is ouly a ruse I should find your company useful; also, you could help to carry our few belongings. I paid up my rent to Johnson at the tavern last night; perhaps you'd kindly give him the shanty key? Why, Strnightways," with laughing surprise, "has my news struck you dumb?" 1 felt as if it had, as if I were shot through and through; the earth swayed under my feet He was condescendingly gratified at my troubled state, tak ng it all to himself; he was just the man to do It "You were always an honest fellow. Ned! a trusty creature! He sure that you come to-morrow; my daughter will like to shake hands with you be fore she leaves;" and he went on gayly through the rich, thick grass. No rest was mine that night; evil was In the air. So, as I could not sleep, I got up and went out Not being n fool I knew I must keep my misery to myself; but my life was empty! empty! It held a vacant place that could never bo filled never again! never again! You see, I was hard hit, mate, like the donkeys. I stamped and stormed at myself for a mooning Idiot What Miss Helen was to me? What could she ever have been to me? a lumbering vagalKHid chap, not worthy to kiss the dust she trod on. But I must go back ami watch the house that covered her for this last night, so I returned to t'lo ravine. In it were many little dells swarming with the wild-flowers of thegrand Australian spring. Now, In one of these same dells what do you think I saw? a dead man's face. Yes, I knew at once that ho was dead; but so easily "the squire" rested on tho wet moss, that the song I had heard him singing might still hnve been upon his lips. Raising his head, I found a blow aimed from behind had killed him. Ho had dropped and died at once. His pockets, turned lining outward, were empty. Snatching up his fallen pick, I tore on to the log house, knowing well whom I- should find there my long sharp knife was in my belt I raced round to tho back; the little kitchen door was undone; tho fiends lu possession had small fear of interruption. They were in "the squire's" bedroom, making free with some whisky which ho had kept in a cupboard. Gold was there also, as I know. By their shouts, I fancied they had come upon it But I let them be. Whore was Miss Helen? I found her in the tied In her chair, her lips bleeding over hoi white teeth; tho cursed hounds had struck her. "There nre three of them," whispered; "those two who came, and another man. Tlvey watched for my father and murdored him they told me so. Hark! they are coming. Neil, they hare pistols, and wllf, Khoot you where you 6tand. Go nwny this Instant t only kill mo ftratt" and she lifted her white pillar of a throat "Now, my beauty," roared a drunken voice throngh the thin partition, "w're brlngiu' you a cup o' whisky to drink our 'ealths In. Ain't you longin' tor us to make love to you? We'll stow away 'the rhino flrsrt, and then you shall have your turn." "B quint," I whispered back to her, hacking at the cords with my knlfo, and In a few seconds I had her out of the chair, and we dashed out erf the 'houee together. Seizing her hand to prevent hor from falling, 1 gnkled her as fast as poswfblo from tho crew who Iwere now following nftr us with curses and howls. Fortunately the de- Imons were too drunk to run very fast A couple of bullets whixzed by us, striking th tree-Mems Instead of our heads. In our desperate haste, we stumbled and fell more than once over 'tle spreading roots, but were up again in a moment On and on until the last tree was at our backs. Then we mode for a lnne which led to Johnson's tavern, leaving the yclLs faint In the distance; there we stopped, and there she told her tale. News spread quickly at the diggln's, and Judge Lynch is for immediate action. Before noon the stolen gold including the two big nnggets had been recovered and a couple of figures from an oak by tho ways!d; whilst the third villain, not guilty of bloodshed, shed plenty of his own beneath avenging blows. Wo had n habit of settling matters speedily at Ureen Vnlley creek. As soon as It was possible Miss Helen started for Melbourne, whence she set sail for England, where she would join her mother's relatives very heavy swells Indeed, I believe. And I followed her in secret every inch of the way, though she knew It nut until I stood by ler on tho deck of the steamer, after I had helped to stow her boxes safely In the hold. Then I blurted out that 1 hoped she "would not be offended at my coming, but "and then I shut up. "Ned!" she cried, "brave Neil! Hear, kind, good Ned! There are debts which can never be repaid, and 1 am your debtor always always Ned!" and holding out her hands to me, she bowed her lovely head upon my big brown fists and sobbed. "Don't you be a confounded noodle at the last Straiphtways," I Mild to myself; "you've pulled the reins in fairly well up to the present; null tight, my man. pull tight;" nnd I did. "You are very welcome, Miss Helen" I spoke with a quiet voice. "I wish I wish 1 could have been a gentleman for just a little while, so that I might have served you better." "A gentlcmnn!" she cried, lifting her face, aim looking full at me, and then she raised those hard fists of mine to her soft lips and kissed them. Yes. s!.e kissed them and I how was I to help it? the touch of those soft lips broke me down smash. Away went all my self-control, as if the winds had blown it. nnd up from my heart, like a pent stream bursting its bounds, rushed tho strong surge of love and adoration, which having broken loose at last wouldn't be driven back. I can't remember clearly what I said, though I've tried often; the whirl and tempest within were too much. I didn't plead with her: no, no I knew better than that, even then in the midst of my madness. I didn't dare even to touch her with one of my rough fingers, but I think I made her understand somehow that my heart aud my life had gone out to her for evermore. Then I stopped, sudden, my chest heaving, my voice choking, my sight blinded by a mist that didn't come from the sea. I stopped because of the great start of surprise that shook her from head to heel, and because of the red color Hooding up to the roots of her hair. Yet she was not angry nor offended. She put out her little hands to me again I knew It both to sllenco and to comfort me. Sho did not speak for what could she have said? besides, the steamer's engines were puffing, and time was up. Sho laid her head down on my arm a moment, and then left with a ram of pitying tears. When the vessel had passed completely out of sight and its long smoke-line had died out from the sky, I hurried back to Green Valley creek, and took up my work again hard work is tho best friend life lias for us, sometimes. But I have never forgotten Miss Helen I never shall forget her; and I've trudged to the old spot often and stood before the empty house. And when tho sun flamed down behind the pines and the shadows crept longer and longer across tho grass, I've had a fancy that I still could see her at the open door watching for her father. That's my story, old chappie: we've ouch other our own, of one sort or other. Pill up your glass and lot's have a pipe. Vivian Brooke, in Chambers' Journul. An Irish Worst.
