THROUGH DANGER;
Or
LIFE IN AUSTRALIA.

Philip Bathurst had a glorious find
that day, almost the biggest nugget the
diggingS had produced.
Others had witnessed his good luck,
and the intelligence ran through the
camp.
Flushed and delighted he gave over
work at dusk. and returned to his tent.
Time never hung heavily on his hands.
In the breast-pOcket of his garibaldi
were three letters from Flo, and no Oc-
cupatiOn was so sweet and interesting
as the re-perusal of these.
His candle lighted he employed some

They almost exceeded his hopes.
''If matters 60 on like this" he re-

but it will be far more so when | have
her by my side, ler dear head on my
breast, and her eyeS-lIeaVen bless

Bathurst's tent, drew out his knife,

Philip and Lewis were flung to the
ground from the conclusion, but swiftly
they sprang to their feet, and in the
glare of the blazing tent came almost
face to face with two rough diggers
who were advancing rapidly.
