spent many a happy hour together in the
gardens at Woollahra and on the cliffs at
Bondi and Coogee. But the old lady In
Woolloomooloo kept worrying, and at last.
after a consoling razzle-dazzie with some
legal chums in Sydney, Ned Grant babe
good-by to everything on the shores Of
Port Jackson. and made tracks for the
back-blocks. Dubbo meant another spree
a bad one that time-and IL came about that
, Ned could not find himself sufficiently cour-
ageous to face Bugerawa at all. There
was the degradation of failure at his pro-
fession. after thousands of pounds had been
spent on his education for It; there would
be the mods and becks n wreathed
smiles" Of the station hands. and the sneers
Of the cockatoo settlers along the river, at
the young squatter's incompetency. and
even his personal reputation would be
winked down.
So Ned Grant did what many q man in
Australia had done before him, and many
will do again-he struck n crow-line away
from the old home. thought out another
name for himself, and tramped his way,
after the sun. into the western Riverina.
Long and weary foot travelling along the
dusty roads Of the New South Wales back
blocks has a curious and depressing effect
on a mans clothes and personal system.
Spruce enough when he started from Dub
DO. Bob Edwards date Ned Grant, was a
rough-looking customer when he turned I'D
one sundown at Bradford's wool shed on
the Yangollen station. not far from Booli-
gal. Wild-eyed. with slovenly locks and
Undiscovered. torn apparel. Bob Edwards
went to the shed overseer's humpy and
asked for a job at shearing. The clip was
heavy that season. and Yangollen was
short-handed. so Bob was given q CRIB in
the shearers' quarters.
Next morning he was given a pair of
shears and a pen in the shed. and. proving
himself a steady worker and no ringer"
he soon got into the good graces of the shed
boss. There was never a shout of tar boy"
from Bob's pen, and even the sheep that
passed through his hands appeared to take
a fancy to him. SO tenderly did he serve
them.

born, on the heaven-favored hillsides Of
Bugerawa? But there was never response.

The wanderer often began writing q let

Thus they never heard from him.. and BY de-

as reaping or haymaking In the farm coun-
