CHAPTER TX

Sullivan's public-house, the thorn In
every squatter's side for thirty miles
around, was small wooden shanty
consisting OF four or five rooms. At
the back was building containing
ten or twelve sleeping hunks. This
was called the dead-house, as 1t was
used chiefly for putting customers into
when they were dead drunk. Outside
the house, facing the mail-track, was .
verandah, II continuation Of the
shingled roof supported by rough posts
stuck into the bare earth could be
dignified by the name.
Beneath the shade of this rough
verandah, one hot afternoon, lay two
or three drunken wretches overcome
by the fumes of the lightning rum In
side the bar were five or six bushmen
busily engaged in throwing dice for
drinks. "Odd man out" was the game,
and at the rate OF one shilling per
nobbler the amusement could hardly
be considered a cheap one. especially
when the after-effects OF the light
| ming upon the consumer were taken
into consideration.
Very few station hands on their way
down to town ever succeeded in getting
past Sullivan's; some had attempted
| it a score of times and failed. Even
before the unhappy pigeon had arrived
the news was brought that Long
Jim" was going down to Sydney with
a big cheque."
LET me see-Jim must have been
over two years now on the station
since he had his last burst" the bloat-
ed-looking ruffian Of landlord would
remark 81 dare say he's got over .
hundred pounds!" And when Long
Jim hove in sight he was sure to be
hailed by half score of loafers and
pressed TO stop the night.
No-he had determined to push on to
the next stage. His horse was fresh,
and he was anxious to get on. Well,
he would stop and have plate of soup
and a bite? No-he had got some
tucker" with him
AT any rate you'll have a drink"
some one would cry.
No. he was ION the teetotaI tack"
"Well, you amt a-goin' OF like that
without shoutin'. JIM" one OF the
loafers would suggest
Shout" the pigeon would cry. thus
probed In his weakest part "Of
course I'll shout! There's nothing
mean about me. anyhow. What ara
you all going to have. Drinks all
| rounh and one for Yourself Sullivan ~
you must have a small drain. too,
Jim. Just to show that there's no Ill
will, you know" the landlord would
suggest
"Oh, not for me, Sullivan! 1 know
your game OF old. Well. just to show
there amt no luminosity, give me .
small drop OF what you've got. Here's
better luck!"

penny-a-liners found In II . large
scope for their imaginatiens.
All the remarkable d1sappearances
that had ever been recorded were
brought to light again. and. az last
loophole out Of the diniculty. It was
suggested that the man had for some
urgent reason determined to lose his
identity. and SO had gone on, leaving
his boots behind him in order to throw
people OF the scent.
Like most other mysteries, this soon
became thing OF the past. The SUBJ
ject at last grew monotonous. and in
a very few months people had ceased
to think any more about 1t. What,
after all, was a bushman more or less
OF whom no one knew anything and
for whom nobody cared?

RUSSIA AND PAX voBIscuM.

In It's Policy of Spoliation There Has
Been No sign of Peace.
The bishops and the salvationists
and ali the sentimentalists are still
busy with their hosannas, OF course.
but there is not man in England who
has to deal practically with anairs
who believes that the scheme IL hon
est. Why. he asks. was the moment
chosen by Russia to declare In favor
of peacef Has not her policy for
years past. in the far east especially.
made directly for war! She has been
aggressive. INSCRIPTIONS, untruthful in
her dealings with China, with Japan
and with England: she scared Japan
out OF the Liaotung peninsula. and
claimed It for herself; she bluffed Eng
land out OF MAnchuria, and she now
claims 1t for her sphere of influence.
In all this policy Of spoliation there
was no sign Of peace, nothing that
suggested the temper of Cancellation.
II we had had q statesman with grit
at our foreign ONCE the cars gov
eminent would have received an ulti-
matum months ago. and even Lord
Salisbury could not have withstood the
Indignation Of the country many weeks
longer. At an early date there must
have been war between this country
and Russia, with the alternative that
Russia should give up her pretensions
In northern China and her sinister
policy at Pekin. The issue was clear.
but Count Mouravieff evades 1t by COM
ing forward smilingly with this evan
gel from his august master. LET "
forget all the past" he seems to Aay.
"all the lies I have told you. all the
tricks I have played upon you. Think
no more OF the fortifcations At Batoum
or Port Arthur. trouble no more about
the huge navy Russia Is building. I'VE

lish point Of view this rescript is a
