1t was on the tip of Blake's tongue
to offer some sarcastic rejoinder, but he
stopped himself in time In spite of the
airs he gave himself he was by no means
a foolish young fellow and after the
life he had been leading lately the girls

under her protection. So much so, indeed,
that when one evening Jack Williams,
the tall overseer, rallied him rather
roughly on mistake he had made that
day in the drafting yard, the young lady
came to his defense.

and he did not like to be reminded of it..

Alice, the elder sister, who had reasons
of her own for preferring Williams to
Blake, sided with the former and a battle
royal was the result. AS might have
been foreseen that did not tend to make
Blake more popular with the overseer.
The mere fact that Miss Nellie, as she
was usually called on the station, had
seen fit to champion Blake's cause was
sufficient to constitute every other man
on the place his enemy. This pettiness
found vent in various ways. There are
few places that present more opportuni-
ties for scoring off an enemy provided
he occupies a subordinate position, than
does an Australian station In conse-
quence, Blake's life was far from being
an enviable one. The hardest and most
dlsagreeable work was assigned to him.
practical jokes innumerable were played
upon him, until his lot became almost I'M
bearable. But for the stubborn pride
that would not allow him to return to
England, he would have thrown up his
position long since and have taken him
self off. However, he was not going to
allow his enemies to think that they had
beaten him. Seeing that he was really
miserable, the managers wife approached
her husband on the subject.
''They are wearing his life out, Char
ley" she said. ''He is very nice
young fellow. Don't you think it's time
for you to interfere?''
No, no, old lady, answered the man
ager, "let the lad fight it out in his own
way. The last twelve months have been

Blake was now the owner of Todrope

baronetcies in the kingdom. This fact,
however, did not make up to him for his

Next morning Blake sought out VII
Hams. The latter had heard the news,
and now expected to receive his I'M

thought otherwise.
My dear fellow, he began, taking the
others hand, "you and 1 did not hit it
quite as well as we might have done
some time ago, but we are better friends
now, and we mean to be still better in
the future, do we not? If you care to

And he did!
After the wedding. which took place
three weeks later, Blake and his bride
departed for England, promising to return
in years time.
