That was why he was called Old Roses. It was not other- wise inapt, for there was something antique about him, though he wasn't old ; a flavor, an old-fashioned repose and self-possession. He was inspector of tanks from this God-forsaken coun- try. Apart from his duties he kept most- ly to himself, though when not travel- ing he always went down to O'Fallen's Hotel once & day for a cup of tea—ten kept especially for him; and as he drank this slowly he talked to Vie, the barmaid, or to any chance visitors whom he knew. He never drank with any one, nor asked any one to drink, and, strange to say, no one resented this. As Vie said, “he was different.” Dicky Merritt, the solicitor, who was hail-fellow squatter, homestead lessee, coecatoo-farmer and shear r, called him *‘a lively old buffer.” It was he, indeed, him the name of Old Roses. Dickey sometimes went over to Long Neck Billabong, where Old Roses lived, for a reel, as he pat it, and he always carried away 8 deep impression of the Inspector's qualities. “Had his day,” said Dickey in O'Fallen's sitting-room one night, “in marble halls, or I'm a Jack Hun neck and neck with almighty swells once.

Vietoria Dowling, the barmaid, lifted her chin sl ghtly from her hands, she leaned throuzh the opening be- tween the bar and the siti ng-room, and said: “Mr. Merritt, Old Roses is a gentleman, and 8 gentleman isa gen- tleraan till he" “Till he Never Neve you know with Ww ho Kav as s . $4 humps his biney r Lan 1, Vie?

Dickey had a profound admiration for Vie. She had brains, was perfect. ly fearless, and in the Wadgery country who visited O'Fal- len's had a wholesome re spect apinion, About this time news came that the Governor, Lord Malice, wonld pass through Wadgery on his tour up the back blocks. A great function was necessary. It was arranged. Then came the question of the address of welcome to be delivered at the ban- quet. Dickey Merritt and the loeal doctor were proposed as composers, but they both declared they'd only *““make rot of it,” and suggested Old Roses, They went to lay the thing before him. Thee found him in his garden. He greeted them smiling in his enig- matical way, and listened. While Dickey spoke, a flush slowly passed over him, and then immediately loft him pale ; but he stood perfectly still, his hand leaning against a sandal tree, and the coldness of his face warmed up again slowly, His head having been bent attentively as he listened, they did not see anything unusual, After a moment of mlence and in- scrutable deliberation, he answered that he would do as they wished. Dickey hinted that he would require some information about Lord Malice's m are, Vie You do the Old Roses him the root and there you has every one for her past career aud his family's history, | but he assured them that he did not need it ; and his eyes idled somewhat ironically with Dickey's face.
