eyes, and then, turning from him,
moved slowly toward the fireplace, and
vanished from his sight.
William Luke awoke to find h aself
standing on the bare earth Of the nut.
The moon shone brightly through the
open window, upon the spot where, in
his dream, he had last seen his brother.

dered and buried there, Heaven help
me if am going mad"
Then, rushing down to the huts
where the men slept, he awakened the
whole station.
In less than an hour sturdy men,
with lanterns to light them at their
work, were busily engaged with pick
axes and shovels in raising the hearth
inside the hut
Luke, in a wild state of excitement,
was directing and urging them on to
their labors. The scene was a curious
one, as the whole population of the
place was gathered in and around the
hut specializing as 10 what possible dis
covery there might be made
The men had removed the rough
stones upon the hearth, and had dug
some four feet deep into the earth,
when they stopped to take breath.
Go on-go on" shouted Luke
Deeper down yet-deeper down."
Keep quiet, Luke!" demonstrated
Mr.. Hall. Your exciting yourself like
this can do no good
Luke sat down upon a bench and
buried his face in his hands. He could
not endure even the moments delay
which the men required for rest from
their toll.
Again the hut resounded with the
sound of the pick and shovel at work
But Luke looked up no more Mr.. Halls

might come.

one of the men-''a mans hand"
Luke sprang TO his feet. now unable

There, dismembered, lay the remains

HIS TRICK SUCCEEDED.
Published Banns Of Marriage to Revive
His Credit.

his Credit
In a certain church a certain mau
caused the banns of marriage to be
published between himself and a lady
to whom he is not engaged and who
has no intention to marry him, says
the New York Commercial Advertiser.
He is poor and has no credit She ie
wealthy and at the time of the publica-
tions of the banns was in Europe The
effect of the announcement was instan-
taneOus. The mans credit revived
congratulations poured in, and for a
few weeks he had a delightful life.
Then came letter from the lady in the
case. She denied her engagement to
the audacious and penniless one and
threatened to bring proceedings against
him for libel. But suppose he pleads
that he had hopes of the lady; who can
prove that he had not? Then few per-
sons understand the real object of pub
fishing the banns. 1t is popularity
thought that they are made public to
bring out such facts as whether either
party has been previously married and
has a partner still alive or whether
they are under age. The true object
of banns being published was to give
the church wardens an opportunity to
object II the parties were poor ana
likely to be a charge on the parish.

asked the wife.

husband. He has touched the public
for the amount and won't be happy
until he invests il.
Perhaps the poor fellow is looking
for 10-cent restaurant" said the
wife, following the shabby figure down
the street. We mustn't be unchariI-
able"
The man did not go into a saloon,
neither did he dive into the cellar OF
a cheap restaurant He shuffled along
till he was nearly lost to view, and
then he stopped in front of a window,
where he stood motionless.
Il wonder what interests him."
unused the woman aloud.
"Who?"
The man who just passed. I have
been following him with my eye. See
him there, looking into that Window"
"Oh, that's a saloon, no doubt. He
probably only has eight cents and he's
feast,ng his eyes on the booze"

Opening the umbrella, she took her
husband by the arm and they went.
The shabbily dressed man was
standing before the window of an art
store. absorbed in the contemplation of
a rare collection of steel engravings.
His face, though thin from hunger,
was refined and his eyes beamed with
eager satisfaction The woman pulled
her husband away.
Aren't you going to give him the
dollar?" asked the latter. The woman
made no reply, but she glanced at the
husband with look through which
flashed a faint suspicion of disgust.
There were times when she almost
wished that she had not married for
money.

CHAPTER XVI

There was not the slightest difficulty
clothes, even to the other half Of the
broken belt, were buried with him.
When William Luke narrated his
dream, men looked 1t one another
aghast. Even the most skeptical could
not doubt that he had actually seen a
vision of the murder as it really hap
pened. The one thing that grieved
him was that he had been unable to
see the face of the woman in the hut;
and thus his suspicious as to the con-
nectiOn between Edward Bartlett. Anne
DodsOn, and the late occupants of the
hut remained as unconfrmed as be-
fore.
Mr.. Hall at once communicated with
the police at Mount Gipps, and early
the next morning four troopers and
some black crackers appeared on the
scene.
Nearly two months had elapsed since
the departure of Baynes and his wife,
and nothing at all had been heard of
them. That they had murdered Robert
Luke there could be no possible doubt.
The excitement the station was
intense, and people flocked from all
parts of the country to witness the
scene OF the awful crime and to behold
the man who had dreamed that fearful
dream
1t was suggested that An expedition

III they are anywhere in the colony"
said Mr.. Hall, after long consultation
with the sergeant of the police, lit is
my opinion that they have taken to the
back country somewhere in the direc-
ton Of the Gray Ranges. There they
might exist for years, if they happened
TO drop across good water-supply, I'M
seen by any mortal eye
But there is vast sandy tract of
country between this and the Gray, is
there nOt?" inquired the sergeant
Yes, replied Mr.. Hall; but it is
just possible that they succeeded in
crossing it. This has been an unusual
ly wet season; and, from what the
stock men have told me, all the creeks
and 'clay-pans' out in that direction
are full of water. Jack knows the coun-
try well-better than anybody about
this neighborhood. He has often been
out for weeks together after stray
cattle that have gone that way"
Very well. SIR said the sergeant;
Il am willing to do whatever you may
think best"
1T is decided then" replied Mr.. Hall.
I'VE will take two weeks provisions on
pack horses. and see If we can't come
across their tracks"
This seemed most sensible plan to
pursue, and accordingly a party was
organized. consisting of the sergeant,
three troopers, young Jack, Mr.. Hall,
William Luke, and-much to Mr.. Halls
disgust-Sullivan the innkeeper
Mr.. Hall did his utmost to prevent
Sullivan's joining the expedition, so

he persisted. What is your reason?
What objection have you to me? Sure

take the consequences. If you press
me for details you shall have them. One
great objection is that you have too
much money" Too much money!
he echoed, in establishment. THAT is
a curious reason for rejecting me. Why,
it was only a month ago that you told
me you did not think it possible for

you would not marry a man unless he
