DYING AS A GENTLEMAN.
BY M. QUAD.

A dozen men sat around a campfire
along side the trail which led from
Hope Valley to Woona-Walla. The
trail was three hundred miles long,
and ran up hill and down, over plain
and through scrub, and now and then
crossed river or climbed mountain.
The feet of three thousand Australian
gold-hunters, accompanied for half the
distance by wagons and pack-horses,
had left such plain road behind that
the next three thousand could not go
astray. At no point on the trail could
a dozen worse men have been picked
out than the twelve who sat around
Jim Agnew's campfire. They had
banded together because they were
bad. Had they travelled singly they
would have Jared badly at the hands of
the crowd. At nine o'clock at night,
with every man ripe for mischief from
the liquor he had inhibited, the camp
had a caller-two of them. A man
turned in from the trail and passed the
fire and halted in the midst of the
quarreling gang and dropped burden
from mis- back. 1t was a little girl
seven or eight years old, and sound

asleep. He pulled blanket from I'M
der man and spread it out to make a
bed for the child, and he tucked her
up with tender hand before he straight
ened up and looked about him and
said:
Il carried her on my back from Sid
ney to Hope Valley, and finding the
rush on I'm bound for Woona- Walla."
And who may you be-" queried jim
Agnew of the stranger
"a gentleman, sir or the wreck OF
a gentleman" was the reply. you
can call me Scott"
"And is this your child?"
mo sir Daughter CT my ex-partner,
Mr. Joe Taylor. He was another
wreck of a gentleman. She was
motherless, and when he died a few
weeks ago he left her in my charge.
Couldn't refuse to take her, sir-no gen.
person; bound to make lady if prop
erly reared and educated. She'll be
waking up directly, and then Wen
thank you or bite to eat"
1t was boarding the lion in his den.
After two or three minutes the men
recovered from their feeling of aston
ishment, and then there was resent
ment at the cool and nervy way their
camp had been invaded The man be-
fore them was ragged and unkempt,
line of his face, but yet instinct told
them that he was not Of their Tx. No
matter what he was now he had one
day been a gentleman. There were
mutterings and threats and presently
Jim Agnew said:
Say, I've heard of you! You are
Scott, the gambler You used to hang
out at Red Hills"
"Your information is correct, sir. /
used to be gentleman. Then | was
Scott, the gambler. At present l am
Scott. the wreck of gentleman and
guardian of that child. Quite correct.
SIR
Hang your gentleman business"
shouted Jim as his temper began to
boil up. Say. boys, let's chip in and
buy the kid. Mebbe she'll bring more
luck than humpback.
Yes, let's buy the kid" shouted half
a dozen men in chorus.
Gentlemen" said the gambler, as he
waved his hand toward the girl, who
had been awakened by the shouts, per
nit me to introduce Miss Ethel Taylor,
of Sidney, daughter of Mr. Joseph Tay-
lor, deceased, ex-convict, gambler,
sharper and bad un generally. In dying
he left her in charge of his partner,
the wreck of a gentleman who has
now been day and half without food
but who wouldn't sell out the trust for
all the gold in Australia"
You'd better take walk" exclain-
ed Agnew after long lcok at the
gambler.
After the girl has eaten. SIR was
the quiet reply.
'sThe girl stays here

mot unless / am dead"

The man Agnew backed off few feet
and pulled a revolver from his belt and
raised his arm until the muzzle was
on line with the gamblers right eye.
The arm rested there. and as his fingers
ourled around the trigger he said
"I'll give we till / count five."
My dear Ethel, good night and good
bye." said Scott, as he half turned and
lifted his ragged cap to the girl.
She did not rise nor call out. Ag-
new meant to kill the man before him
if he Gid not move off, but after his
words to the girl his arm slowly fell.
There was silence for minute, and
then the boss of the gang said:
"Cuss me, but you've got nerve. Sit
down with the gal and fill up"
1t was accounted a strange thing
with the "rushers" to see a little girl
among that band of bad 'uns," each
taking turn and turn about to carry
her on his back, and both guardian and
ward found themselves among friends.
Indeed, before the new diggings were
reached Jim Agnew and Scott were ac-
couLted partners 1t was stranger
yet that little Ethel had liking for
Jim. He stood next to her guardian.
At Woona-Walla the child shared the
tent or shanty with the two men. Child
though she was, Scott treated her with
almost as much formality as if she
had been girl of twenty. Agnew
treated her as child, and Enough his
ways were rough and his speech

ears twitched, and his Adams apple
worked up and down like toy monkey
on stick. He had just drawn long
breath to utter q yell when he checked
himself and turned away He had left

but I'd like to make a stake for her."
In the gray of the morning they took
their way over the hills, one carrying
the packs and the other the girl Fifty
miles away, on the banks of Brawling
creek, they made a camp, and two
hours later were prospecting for gold.
They found sufficient to encourage them
to persevere, but not in quantities to
rejoice over. On the third day the men
left the girl asleep and moved further
down the creek. She awoke and went
searching for them upstream. She had
walked for a quarter of a mile. calling
as she went, when in trying to Chamber
UP bank she caught at and uprooted
bush. With the dirt and stones a
nugget Of gold rolled down into the
stream and lay there like a spot of
sunshine. An hour later Scott threw
down his pick and said:
Jim, it's the richest spot on the face
of the globe. There'll be a rush here
OF course, but we'll have our claims
entered first. III start for Woono-Wal-
la within half an hour"
In thirty minutes he was on his way
over the hills, and in three days he was
back again. It would have been no use
to try to hide the new find. He had to
state its location in order to file his
claim. and the very official who made
good his papers was at his heels as he
made his way back to camp.
I've got it," he said to his partner,
after picking up the girl and kissing
her. ''Eere it is-the Ethel Claim
There'n be enough for both of you
aye. enough to make a dozen men
rich,"
After supper that night the child
climbed upon SCOTS knee. and he
stroked her hair until she fell asleep.
Fer long time after ne had gently
laid her down there was silence between
the two men. He was the first to break
it by saying:
