The Terrible Dcstructivcncss OF m Aus
traiian Drought.
The author OF ''ROund the Compass

with the manager Of Il stock farm. It
was q time Of drought, and the evening
passed amid stories Of friGhtful suffer

it would be hardly possible to hold out
a wcolc longer. "5hady Jacks VOL is
DONE" he said, "and the Frcnchnan's
tank is empty" His wifc tried to en-
courage him.
''llOpo for the best" she said.
"A!y oath!" answered the manager,
"but the best things never come off"
Yes, Dick" responded his wife.
'but TIC worst things never come OF"
Night after night this man had
walked tho room, alternating between
prayers and curses, as each days record
was another thousand sheep dead, an
other empty we'll, until at last he had
como to the grim courage of despair.

He drew his sleeve across his eyes,
and bowed his head on the table. For
ten minutes he sat there SO. Then the
visitor saw him raise his head, start,
spring to his feet, and listen with
strained attention. What was that?
Something pinged on the corrugated
roof overhead.
Rain! rain! rain!' he shouted, as he
rushed outside, and fell on his knees
with his hands stretched out toward
the cloudcA Sky.

Even so. The hood-gates of the sky
were opened, and before morning tho
visitor was helping to put up dyke on
one side of the house. The march OF
