Grand IS I'll! a fc h- VV -T u- All over the store wliere articles for personal use are sold, there's an air of refreshing newness. Latest and best of everything, and priced to pay you to go out of your way to get here. -Jr-Ml1 fill til: 4k 8 6 i i )i ii i i mi vitally concerned in It, and bade mo be prepared for any emergency.

Reaching the group, 1 glanced at the man uion the ground, and then almost shouted tr.y surprise aloud. He was none other than Ben Garmac, but oh, how changed! His once stalwart frame was shrunk to half its former size, his face Wfs pinched and haggard to a degree that frightened me, and. as I looked, I knew there could be no doubt about one thing the man was as ill a a man could well be. and yet be called alive. Pushing the crowd unceremoniously aside.

I knelt down and spoke to him. He was mumbling something to himsuif and evidently did not recognize me. "lien," I cried, "Ben. old man, don't you remember Gilbert Pennethorne? Tell me what's wrong with you, old feliow?" But h. only rolled his head and muttered something about "500 paces northwest from the creek and just in a line with the blaKted gum." Realizing that it was quite useless talking to' htm.

and that if I wished to prolong his life I must get him to bed as soon as possible, I requested one of the men standing by to lend a hand and heln me to carry him into my hut. This was evidently the. chance Bartrand wanted. 'To the deuce with such foolery!" he cried. "You, Johnstone, stand back and let the man alone.

I'll not have him malingering here. I tell you. I know his little game, and yours too, Pennethorne. and I warn you, if you take him into your hut, I'll give you the sack that instant, and so you remember what I say." "Piut you surely don't want the man to die?" I cried, asionished almost beyond the reach of words at his barbaritv. "Can't you see how ill be is? Examine him for yourself.

He is delirious now, and if he's not looked to he'll be dead In a few hours." "And a good job. too," said the manager brutally. "For my part. I believe he's only shamming. Any way, I'm not going io have him doctored here.

Tf he's as ii 1 as you say I'll send him up to the Mail change, and they can doctor him there, lie looks as if he had enough money iibout him to pay Oibhs his footing." As Garman was in rags and his condition evidenced the keenest poverty, this sally was treated as a fine by the overseer and the understrappers, who roared with laughter, and swore that they had never heard anything better in their lives. It roused my blood, however, to boihng pitch, and I resolved that, come what might. I would not desert my friend. "If you send him away to th Mall I cried, looking Bartrand so.ua in the eye.

This tarnc! out sj poorlv that less th.tn seven weeks found me de.rerate my sy vines departed, and my claim which I must in honesty confess showed but small prospects of success seized for a tl-bt by a Jew storekeeper upon the fit M. A month later a new rush swept away the inhabitants, and Lianyah whs deiseried. Not wishing to be left behind, 1 fo'inwei the genera! inclination, and 4r s- methiug under a fortr.iglit was prostrated at death's door by an attack fever, to which I should probably have suet un.bed had It not been for the kindness, rl misanthropist of the field, an old miner. lP-n Garman by name. This fx-ti anrdinary individual, who had tried his luck on every pohi tield ot Importance in the live eolcnies and was as yet as far off making his fortune as hen he.

had first taken a shovel in Mr. hand, found me lying unconscious alonsvhie the ci'-ek. lie carried me to his tent and, neKiectlosr his claim, set to work to nurse me back to iifo again. It was iot until I hitd timed the corner and was convalescent that I discovered the curiosity my benefactor really was. His persona! appar-awe wa ri! peculiar a.

his mode of life, lie whs vtry snort, very broad, very red-faced, wore a long gray beerd, hud bristling white eyebrows, enormous ears. arid the Ui rffest hands and feet I have even wn on a human being. Where he had hailed from origbially he, was nimble himself to fey. His earliest refoilecUon I was playing with another small tioy upon 1 the beach of one of the innumerable bays of Sydney harbor; but low he had got there, whether his parents had just emigrated, or whether they -had Wen out long enough ior him to have been born in the colony, were points of which he pronounced himself entirely ignorant. lie detested wimen, though he could not explain the reason of his antipathy, and there were not two other men upon the Held with whom ne was on even the barest speaking terms.

How it came about that he took fuioh a. fancy to me pusxled me thtn and bus continued to do so ever since, for. as far 1 could tee, save a certain leaning towards the solitary in life, we had not a single bond in common. As it -was, however, we were friends without bein intimate, and companions bv day and night without knowing m-ne then the merest outside rind of each other's lives. As soon as I was ab'e to get sl-out.

agpin I began to wonder what on earth 1 should do with myself next. I had rot a halfpenny in world, and even on a r.M field it is necessary to eiit if one desires to live, and to have the wherewithal to pay if one, deylres to eat. I therefore placed the matter before my companion and asked his advice, lie gave it with his usual candor, and in so solved niy difficulty for me once and for ail. "Stay with me, he said, 'and heip me to work the claim. What -with the rhtumaliz and the lumbnpo.

I'm l.one so spry as I used to be, end there's gold enough in the oid shaft yonder to make the fortuity of both of ui when once we can (jet at it." Naturally I lost no ttme in closing with bis offer, and the following morning me in the bowels of tie earth, as hard at work with pick and ehove! as my weaknesa would permit. Unfortunately, however, for our dream of wealth, the mine did net prove as brilliant an investment a its owner had predicted for it, an dslx weeks' labor showed us the futility cf proceeding farther. Accordingly we abandoned it, packed our swags, and set off for a mountain range away to the southward, on prospecting thoughts intent, finding nothing to suit ttieie, we migrated into the West, where we tried our hands at a variety of employments for another IS months or thereabouts At ngth, on the Idamantina river, in Western Queensland, we parted company, myself to take a position of storekeeper on Markapurlle station in the same neighborhood and Ben to try his luck on a new field that had just come into existence near the New Mouth Wk'cs border. For something like three years we neither siw nor beard anything of each otlur. Whether Ben had succeeded on the field which he had proceeded when he had said "goodhy" 10 me, or wheihtr.

a.s usucl. he had been 1, ft Jdranded, I cculd only guess. My own life, on the cth'-r hand, was unevei.t'td in the extreme. From morning night I kept the stalion books, served out rations to boundary riders and other station hands, and in the intervals tnought of my old lli'e, and wondered whe'hev it would" r-vf be my at to set. foot in England again.

So lVr I had be.f one- of Fate's fairares. but. though I did not know It, I was nearer fortune's money-has then than I had ever been in my life bejore. The manager of Markapui 'lie waa a man na'iied Kartrand. an upstart and a buiiy of the first water.

He had never taken kindly to me. nor 1 to him. Every p.os;i-bie that fell ir. nts way of antioy-inc me lie unployrd: and, if the truth mJist told, I paid his tyranny back wPh Interest. He seldom, spoke save to find fault: 1 never address-d him except In a tone of cor.tempt which must have been infinitely gaping to a man of his suspicions antecedents.

That he was only waiting his chance to rf.l bin. self of me was ps plain as the nose upon his face, and for this very reason I took special care su as to arrange my work that it should always fa'1- to give him the opportunity he desired. The crash, however, was not to be averted, and it came even sooner than I expected. One hoi day. towards the end of summer.

I hal been out to one of the boundary riders' huts with xhs month's supply of rations Hrd. for the reason that 1 "ha a long distance to travel, did nor eacn the station till late in the afternoon. As I drove up to the little cluster of buildings beside the lagoon 1 noticed small crowd collected round the store' door. Among those present 1 could distinguish the manager, one of the overseers (a man cf Bartrund own kidney, and, therefore his special vror.y, two or three of the hands and, as the reason of their there, what locked like the body of a man lying i.pou the ground ut their fr-et Having lutnded my h-jrse over to the black by at the stock yaru.
