lty to discover; but Robert Luke knew
his way we'll
In few minutes he stood outside
the door. There was no sign OF life to
be seen within. He tried the handle,
and found that the door was locked.
Then he crept round to the window.
which was unglazed and had coarse
calico nailed across in lieu Of glass.
After peeFlng about for some minutes.
he detected speck Of light shining
dimly through an inner curtain.
Probably there was a moth-hole in the
blanket which had been hung inside to
prevent the light from being seen from
without. The keyhole and every chink
seemed stopped securely.
How easily he might slit the calico
across with his knife and effect an
entrancei But then, suppose his sur
misses were to prove wrong. what ex-
cuse could he make for thus disturb
ing the woman in the middle of the
night?
Luke's heart beat fast. It seemed to
him as II he were on the very brink
of making some discovery, and yet
was to be baked
| He stood still and thought a while.
Then 1t occurred to him that he might
knock, pretend he was i'll, and ask for
brandy, The men on the station had
none, he knew. Yes. there could be nc
harm in that.
He knocked on the panels Of the
door, but no answer came. He knocked
again. and spoke.
Mrs. Baynes, would you kindly give
me drop of brandy If you have such
thing. | am sorry to trouble you at
this time of night, but l am not very

called out again more loudly

Growing holder. he determined 70 try
the strength OF the door.
Placing his shoulder against II, he
turned the handle and leaned upon It
with his whole weight.
Suddenly the door gave way, and he
was precipitated into the room. Re-
covering himself, it was yet several
seconds before he could distinguish
any objects around him-the sudden
| transition from the darkness without
to the glare OF lamp had dazzled his
| eyes. When he recovered from the
first confusing effects of the light, he
saw sight that sent him staggering
back against the wall, and for a mo-
ment deprived him of the power Of
speech. He was bewildered, and could
not find breath to say the words which
were upon his lips.
A sound Of horses hoofs approach
ing the hut made him suddenly look
round, and then he knew no more. A
fearful crash upon his skull deprived
him Of his senses, and he fell heavily
to the floor.

CHAPTER VII

"Baynes," said Mr.. Hall one morn
ing as he was starting out for the run.
Il want you to go down to Sullivan's
this afternoon-you know-the public
house where the coach stopped when
you came up. The drays are up from
town, and we are so short of a num-
Der of things that l am sending some
pack-horses to meet them, so you can
load up with whatever you think we
most require. The bullocks are so
done up that l hear they will not be
able to come any farther for the next
three days. Very provoking 1t is. to
DO sure. I suppose all the men will get
drunk there. However, 1t can't be
helped"
"How am I to go. sir?" asked Bay
mes. "On foot?"
"Oh nor replied Mr.. Hall, laughing.
81 hear you are rather afraid of
mounting a horse, but l have left my
mare Vinegar up in the yard She is
quite quiet. so you need not be alarmed
One of the men will saddle her for you,
II you don't know how to set about
It."
Tom Baynes set out shortly after the
mems dinner was served. amidst roars
OF laughter and much chan from the
station hands.

Tom?" cried one. Get along vita
