THE SORAKTON TRIBUNE-THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 3. 1897. tf - Cbc Rome Reading Circle Yv. THE SHEARERS' WAGES. BY OWEN AUTHOR OF "THE TRACK OF A STORM." Copyright. 1800f by the Ilntclioller Syndicate I SYNOPSIS. Jack, o. recent arrival at tho store or station of an Australian farm, Is commis sioned by the manager to carry the shear era' wages, some thirteen hundred pounds, to Maroona, ninety-live miles nway. He wishes- to take a revolv6r, but Is told that It Is unnecessary. On his sec ond day's Journey, ho is followed by a stranger, who summons him to halt. Jack spurs on his horse, which Is, however, snot by the stranger. Jack Is thrown and loses consciousness, On recovering, he llnds that he has been robbed of tho money. 'A member of tho mounted police, and a nativo scout, have found him. They revlvo him, and together they follow the trail of tho robber which Is tracked by the Bcout. Thoy come upon him at his hut In tho bush. The officer demands his sur reixler. FART III. It all happened In a moment. I heard the summons of the officer, I heard a harsh laugh, and the words: "The devil I hntf!" There was the sharp report of a revolver, and the serg-eant's horse leaped forward ana rolled over on his side. With another harsh laugh the man turned away and began to unfas ten his horse from the sapling. My eyes followed him In a stupid helpless way for a moment, still I was roused by the sergeant's voice: "Here, young ster, why the devil don't you bring him down?" For the first time I remem bered then that I had a pistol In my hand, but even then I seemed confused. I glanced at tho sergeant who was struggling to get clear of his horse, and then at the man, who had just mount ed. Then men seemed to notice me then for the first time, for he shouted: "Oh, It's you, Is it? Then take that!" There was a flash; a report; and I felt something sting my ear for a moment he had fired at me. "Shoot him, you fooll" exclaimed the bergeant, "or If ye don't like to, shoot the horse." I saw my way then. No, I couldn't shoot a man. I raised my re volver and fired. The bay horse reared and plunged, and then, answering to the fierce stroke of his rider's spur, bounded off and disappeared amongst the gum trees. The sergeant struggled to his feet, and turning angrily to "me ex claimed: "Why the devil didn't you shoot him?" "Shoot him?" I answered, sulkily, I dare say, for at the moment I felt half ashamed that I hadn't. "You can shoot men If you like I don't like the Job, and I'm not used to it either." "Well, young fellow, your friend Isn't bo particular; another Inch and he'd have taken your head instead of an ear." I put my hand and found that I was bleeding where the bullet had car ried away a piece of my ear. For the flrst'tlme I remembered the sharp sting that had followed the man's last shot. "Didn't know it, eh'?" he continued, ob serving my look of surprise. "Well, you'll know better another time. It's a case of you or me with fellows like that, I can tell you. You'd bettor bear a hand-now and let's see what can be done de ye think you hit the horse?" '-'Sure of it." I said, shortly. "Ah, it all depends whereabouts. If you were lucky, we'll have him yet. Iet's h'ave a look at the hut first, though," he added. "I 'followed him across the open patch to the hut, the door of which he pushed hastily open. The place was a poor one, and the few scraps ,of furniture of the rudest kind. The floor was of earth, and upon lt,crouched in a heap nciar the fire. 'was the fleure of tho woman we WcTSeen. Sh spiang to her feet at our entrance, and pushing back her hair from her face confronted us like a lion ess. For a moment she seemed to gasp for, Lreath, and then the words came brokenly: "And did yez did yez shoot k htm? Did yez murder him entirely? Oh, Mike, Mike, and Is it to this ye've come at tho ind ov It all?" The .strgeMit looked at her for a mo ment. "Oh," he said, "It was Mike, w'as it? I thought as much. No. We haven't shot him noi yet, anyhow, though It's about time." ' "Glory be to God for that same," she exclaimed in a very different tone. ''An' it's a fool I was to belave that th'e likes ov ye could do that same nor 1 wouldn't, nathfr, 'but for my dreams the last night as iver was." "You dreamt ho was killed, did vo. Biddy? Well, it's likely enough yet," he said, as ho walked to the table on which there were set out damper loaf and the ereater part of' a hum. as If leady for a meal not yet partaken of. "1 see we disturbed his breakfast," ho added, "but we'll take it after him In case he shonld want it." The woman glared t him and mado a half motion as If she would have thrown herself upon him. Then she stopped suddenly, and I could see her hands clench themselves with the greatness of the effort. " 'Tls yersllf will make the holghth ov a folno rob ber wan rfv thlm days, and 'tis the lone wimen wld no one nigh to purtect thlm ye'll be hardest on. I'm thlnkin'.

HALL. the bare apartment, then picked up the damper and throw it to mo with the remark: "You'd 'better take charge of that, youngster." Then without a word he wrapped tho ham in a piece of news paper that lay on the floor and turned away. We left tho woman standing ty the smoldering remains of the fire, her eyes blazing with fierce resent ment, yet pathetic with the forecast of the future. It wns tho last we saw of her. In anothor minute we had plunged into tho gray depths of the forest once more. Jacky Btood awaiting us Just within the shadow of the trees. In answer to the sergeant's question ho pointed onward Into tho long arcade before us. "White fellow horse make a Jump here," he said; "white fellowhorse no go far." Nothing more was said. Jacky turned and led the way once more. The day was still young, and although the trees stood close and the growth overhead was more than usually thick, yet the sunlight gleamed and quivered In long spears and arrows of gold as it shot through the leafy cover and lit up the dim recesses of the bush. There was a loud hum of Insects In the air, and now and then the harsh note of a bird sounded amongst the branches, but otherwise all was silent. Not even fancy could conjure up the faintest sound of horse hoofs, any more than my most persistent efforts could enable me to trace the footprints of horse or man upon the soft yet elastic ground over which Jacky traveled with such confidence. The course he followed was up hill. The slope was not a steep one, yet by the time we had traveled for several hours It had begun to tell, and I, at least, was far from sorry when the ser geant called a halt. Jacky came back obediently. "White fellow horse no good," he said, as he accepted the damper and meat hanxled to him and squatted down to eat It. "No good, Jacky?" said the sergeant. "How you see?" "White fellow make a walk. Horse no go" and Jacky explained his meaning by swaying his body from side to side. The sergeant glanced at his carbine, which lay on the ground beside him, and Jacky grinned. The news seemed to give a new zest to our pursuit, for In a very few minutes we had eaten our simple meal and were on foot again. Upwards and upwards still. Gradually the flecks of sunshine had withdrawn from the ground, and now their glitter had ceased to sparkle amongst the leaves overhead. With the Bun the hum of Insect life had died away and left a cold stillness behind. It was growing colder, too, and an occasional shiver crept over me In spite of the exercise. Little by little the long avenues of trees grew grayer and more colorless, and the ends of the vIstaH grew misty and seemed to be closing in. The sun had gone down. I looked around me uneasily as I went, and more than once I thought the sergeant cast a quick glance of question around him. Jacky alone was apparently visited by np doubts. On, and on at the same slow, deliberate trot, his head bent forward, his arms hanging loose at his sldew, his eyes fixed on the ground. At last he stopped. "Too much dark," he said, as he squatted on 'the ground and waited for us to come up. There was no appeal from Jacky's decision, of course, so we prepared to camp for the night. Our preparations were nec essarily simple. Jacky collected the ma terials for a fire which the rapidly increasing cold rendered necessary In spite of the danger it Involved of a night surprise from the man wo were hunting, and possllby companions with whom he might havo the means of com municating. "It's a case of watch and watch about," as tho sergeant's re mark, "and pot the first man you see, young fellow, If you don't want him to pot you." Tho first soon burned brightly, and after we had eaten some more of the damper we proceeded to make the best of It. It fell to my share to keep the first watch, and nothing happened to disturb it. It was in no danger of falling asleep, however, In spite of my exertions throughout the day. It may have been the novelty and excitement of the events that had occurred since I had left Hutchen's fn the morning, It may also have been In part tho pos sible dangers that surrounded us still that seemed effectually to remove any tendency to sleep. I sat, my back Plopped against a tree, my feet ex tending nearly to the flro; my fiand on the sergeant's revolver, and my eyes moving u-stleBsly round tho narrow circle lighted by tho blaze. A thous and times during that endless watch I must have fancied I heard mysterious sounds of footsteps In the stillness of the forest, and as often I soeme'd to catch glimpses of flery eyes that watched mo out of the abyss of dark ness that closed me In. Moro than once I had almost pointed the revolver when tho Bhlftlng of tho light con vinced me that my fancied assailant existed only in my imagination. I don't know whether Jacky ever really slept, but each time I-moved I seemed to see his bead-like eyes gleaming from below the penthouse of his hair where he lay partly coiled In a dog-like heap close to tho hottest corner of the lire. PAUT IV. I was relieved at last, and even then I thought I should never get to sleep, Again and again I started from a half doze, feeling as If an eye were gleam ing at me out of the darkness, or a' stealthy footstep were creeping up be hind mo through the trees. I must have fallen asleep at last, however, and once asleep I must have slept soundly. It was with a start and a shiver that I woko at last. It was cold. Tho first gray light of dawn was stealing mist ily through the follngo oveihcad and tha uncertain light from tho fire still flickered and gleamed on the -nearest trees and on something white that lay in heaps In various directions. I rubbed my oyes and stared round mo in puz zled wonder, It was snow. Tho ser geant rested against a tree, his arms folded, his head bent forward, evident ly asleep, while" Jacky sat crouched to- gcthcr clone to the red embers. Ills chin was resting on lil drawn-Up knees, but hU oyes gleamed, keen and bright in the firelight. My legs wero still, but I managed to rise and take a few steps to convince myself that tho white heaps I had seen wero actually snow the first I had seen since leav ing; England. It wns show, sure enough, and It had fallen heavily. Wherever the branches and leaves had thinned overhead It had como down In great soft drifts, and looking up I Icould sets that the clug In fleecy masses to the larger branches which bent beneath the unaccustomed weight, I looked round In dismay. The grisly light from the snow mingled with tho gray light of the dawn and made the forest arcades seem more hopeless than even the darkness had done. By what ever Instinct Jacky had been able to track the man wo were In pursuit of It must be at fault now. I looked at him and his eyo met mine, but he seemed only to crouch the closer. The sergeant awoko with a start Just as my eyea rested on him. "Hallo! What the devil?" he exclaimed, as he shook hlmaelf and rose to his feet. "Snow, as I'm a living sinner. I didn't think wo were high enough up for that." Then he glanced round him with a look of surprise and disgust till his eyes rested on Jacky. "Ah!" he con tinued: "I thought so. That comes of using these confounded Queensland blacks. You might as well put a croc odile In an Ice pond as expect any good of one In the snow. Here, Jacky, you make a look wood, burn plenty smoke." Jacky shook his hlg head but didn't move. "Yes, that's your sort," he added, contemptuously. "You'd sit there and freeze sooner than face It. Well, youngster, It can't be helped, for there's one mercy the chances are Mike's as least as badly off as we are." There was, as the sergeant said, no help for It, He and I collected wood enough to keep our flro burning, and then there was nothing to bo done but keep as close to It as we could nnd wait for a change. It was more than lucky we had some foo'd left, though as the day wont slowly on we found that we had none too much of that, and by the time the gray daylight had given place once more to the dark er shades of night we or at any rate I could have wished for a bigger sup per than the last of the damper af forded. I heard no footsteps In the for est that night during my watch, nor was my Imagination troubled by vis Ions of hostile eyes, and when my turn came to rest I slept soundly. It was bright daylight when I awoke, and the moment I did so I knew that the change had come. It was warm. Jacky had lot the Are go low, and I could see his small, active figure walk ing slowly round, his eyes fixed on the ground, though still keeping clear of the spots where the snow had not fully melted. The sergeant was sitting on a stone examining his carbine with much Interest. "Well, youngster," ho said, "If you've had sleep enough It's about time we were moving, for we may have a long tramp before we get anything to eat." The recollection was one calculated to hasten our move ments, and In less than Ave minutes we had started. Jacky went slowly at flrst, for noth ing would Induce him to set foot on the remains of the snow which still lin gered In patches In the shadier hollows, but as the sun rose higher these became less common and w got on better. He was a little way ahead of us when he suddenly stopped. When we reached htm he stood at the edge of one of the hollows through which, during the rains, the mountain streams- run down to swell the tributaries of the Mur rumbldgee. The snow had fallen thickly here, and In the bottom, still partly imbedded in the drift, there lay a dark body which we tit once recog nized as that of a horse. A hasty ex amination showed that my shot had avenged Cossack. Jacky examined the ground carefully, and at last crossed the hollow and penetrated farther Into the forest, but after traveling for nearly an hour we found that we had come back again to the spot from which we started. And so It went on for what appeared to me at least to be an almost endless time, now backwards and now forwards In wanderings that seemed Interminable. And still Jacky traveled on, his head bent forward, his eyes never lifted from the ground; and still the sergeant followed doggedly In his steps, his face set grim and stern, his carbine gripped tightly in his hand. I had no choice but to follow them. For the last two hours or moro our course. In splto of Its wanderings, had taken us steadily down hill. It was certainly after midday now, and the hot sun was lighting up the depths of tho forest and falling In bright streams and patches of gold here and there In our path. Jacky Btopped sud denly, Just as we came In sight of a huge mass of rook which rose gray and rugged above tho trees In front. Between us and the crag there was a gully deeper and more densely wooded than any we had yet passed'. Jacky stood still and peered cautiously down the dim slope, where the trees grew thicker and the dense Coflage shut out the sunbeam. The sergeant glanced at him, and then he passed him by. "Come on," he exclaimed, "youngster. Keep your flncer on the trigger, and when you see him mind you Are this time," With his hand' on tho lock of his car bine the sergeant crept down through the trees; with my Anger on the trig ger of the revolver I followed him. The gully was unusually largo and depp, In mv excitement tho tlmo It took us to descend into the bottom seemed endless. It Is true we went slowly, watching' every tree, peering into every dim vista, expecting each" moment to hear the report of a pistol shot wake tho echoes of the wood. On and on, and yet wo saw nothing, hnd nothing happened. We had reached tho bottom and began cautiously to ascend tho slop beyond. The snow had fallen heavily here, and still there were patches of It In the darkest places where the shadows fell the thickest. Wo had gone perhaps halt way up the slope when, as I strained my eyes to look along a dim avenue between the gums, I saw something that mado me start and utter an exclamation. Tho ser geant Joined mo in an Instant, and side by sldo we made our way towards the spot. Nearer and nearer we crept up be tween tho treces, planting our feet cau tiously as we went that no sound might give Mm tho alarm; scarcely daring to breathe in our excitement. And now we could mako out plainly that It was a man. He was seated on the ground, his back resting agalnfct a large bowl der.hls hand apparently grasping some thing lying- by his side no doubt his fatal revolver. Another sttp or two and we could seo that his head was bent slightly forward on Ills breast. He was asleep; wo should capturo him without a struggle. We crept nearer and near er something moved. Was he going to wake, after nil? The sergeant was drawing himself together for a rprlng, I could see, when suddenly ho stopped. Something moved agnin, but now wo could make It out, eyeni In the shadow it was a bird. Wo had disturbed It, nnd now wllh a, hoarsa croak It ro clumsily, and fluttered away Into the shadows. There wns no need of caution now. Two or three quick stebs and wo wore nt his side. It was Mlkel Yes, and wlint was more, It was Tom also. Tom whom I had said good-by to two days before as I rode away with tho shear ers' wages. We looked at him solemn ly; we touched him reverently he vtut stilt and dead. His- hand wns by his side, but It didn't hold a revolver, aa wo hnd supposed. "Here, youngster," said tho sergeant, "do you know the look of tills?" It was a leather bag. I know It In a moment the bag with tho wages. Tho End. NO JOKE FOR UIM. Incident of Northwestern Journalism and Its Novel Climax. From the Detroit Free Press. "Funny thing," laughed the Jovial promoter who was entertaining; some of his prospective victims at the cat. "The maddest man I ever saw was that same smooth-voiced old gentlemen that Just left us. When I flrst went to tho northwest It was as a boomer, and the syndicate I was operating for set me up In the newspaper business. Tho primary purpose was to attract set tlers, soil land and give tho friends of my people political control; but to get circulation I had to interest readers all over the country, One schemo in this direction was to run tho splcloit peisonul column I oould put up. There wasn't a man who camo to the place that I didn't give a send off to attract general attention. I wasn't embar-raf-sed by any regard for .the facts and avoided unpleasant consequences by using fictitious names or Initials. "One day this same old gentleman droppid down In our midst. It must havo been twenty years ago. I pic tured him as an Adonis, a youth of the courtliest manners and most magnetic qualities. A week later he came Into my little office with a look that would causn the average man to take to his heels. His face was colorless and drawn. Ills eyes glittered and he ground his teeth when he was not talk ing. He spread a letter in front of me, ana then paced tne noor. it was n dainty little missive with the faint odor of violets. It told what the fair wilter had read In my paper and how it Ailed her with a desire to know such a manly paragon. She sought a cor respondence and asked for a picture. I began to laugh and chaff in order to pacify my caller. But he flourished the letter In one hand, hit the table with the other and shouted; "The writer of that is my daughter, sir." THE DUKU LIGHT. A Romnrknblo Light Which Cnnnot Ho lllown Out Is Introduced. The remarkable light which has been brought forward In Germany, and known as the Durr light, Is declared to be equally capable of use for interior Illumination. It Is originated by auto matic evaporation and overheating of the vapors from ordinary lamp petrol 3,500 to 14,000 candle power. The ap paratus consists of a tank containing the supply of petroleum, which is re moved sufficiently from the burner to avoid all danger of Are from the flame. The oil Is conducted by drops Into a burner of special construction, after the latter has been heated for about five minutes by means of oil which is burned in small heating pans furnished with the apparatus; behind the burner from which the flame issues there Is a second burner, which, after the heat ing of tho pans has been removed, con tinually produces the vapors and heats them to a high temperature, at the samo tl.iie completely surrounding the li-Pi I with a btrong lla.n? This arrangement Is sal-i to make thr ex tinction of tl-.o llgrt nn lmpf5si',lllty, ven In the strongest wind. F:esh nlr is drawn In between the burner und the extcrr.nl cylinder by the force of the flame rushing out, nnd, by using this air In tho burner, a smokeless flame re sults on account of the air supply be ing heated. The oil used Is ordinary 100 proof coal oil, tho consumption of which is about one and three-fourths pints per 1,000 candle power.
