look to an unframed eye as if it
would not take much to shift them
should a horse buck suddenly or
stumble. Yet most of them could ride
a whirlwind if they could only sad
die it, for they are Australian pio-
neers making their way into the big
mining camp in time for the Christ
mas revels that are certain to take
place.
The great camp comes in sight. A
long, narrow gully flanked on both
sides by low hills, dotted all over with
dirty tents that look too hot to shield
even a dog on such blistering day.
In front of nearly every business
place, no matter whether it be made
of galvanized iron, wood or bag and
canvas, the owners have tied liberal
amount of fresh green foliage. All
day long men have been busy bring
ing in great wagon loads of young
trees and green branches cut in the
forest close by, and the business folk
have purchased literally.
Camels are kneeling in the high
way, whilst their Afghan drovers I'M

strange, unnatural appearance to
everything that grows. If you were
not a bushman you could not tell one
tree from another under that summer
mantle. Bloodwood, quondong, blue
gum, sandal wood, stringy bark. bull
oak, red gum, iron bark, currojong.
No living thing can exist where that
mantle lies. no birds twitter amongst
the branches, because the dust has
killed off all insect life; even the liz
arcs have fed from their hauntS in
the hollow trunks. There is no grass
on either side of the track, not a
solitary blade; the dry season has
killed it all off. Here and there you
note the grey ashes of what had been
teamsters' camp fires, with smolder-
ing ember at intervals glistening in
the greyness, like bloodshot eye in
a sodden face. You turn a benz in
the trail and come upon string of
eighty or hundred camels, all heav-
lily laden with stores. Their Afghan
drivers, in blue blouses, dirty white,
baggy calico trousers, and dirtier tur-
bans, plodding along ankle deep in
soil that is softer than snow, strange

black, cleaning eyes and curly ebon
boards. big, broad-shouldered men,
who will neither eat nor drink with

A long, narrow track curls, in and
out amongst the forest trees like
great dirty yellow ribbon. The sun
pours down upon it all day long, and
the unceasing glare adds to its ugli-
ness. There is no sign of moisture
anywhere within sight; not a drop of
water has fallen from the blue skies
for six months past. The wheels of
wagons and the hoofs of horses have
churned and kicked the surface of the
track into fine red dust-so fine that
every passing breeze picks up the
powdered earth and plays with it.
On the straight stretches of the for
est trail, the breeze carries the dust
in filmy haze, like the dun-colored
mist one meets with at eventide in
the China seas. Where the trail
bends suddenly to right or left, the
playful winds catch up the dust and
whirl it round and round in swiftly
revolving circles. lifting it higher and
higher until its topmost spirals seem
TO melt into the very skies. All along
the track the trees on both sides are
covered with dust; it lies thickly upon
the trunks. it clings to the boughs, it
bows down the leaves, giving a

glow on all the earth, and the glory
of the everlasting skies fills the world
with splendor. The crimson flame
fiickers for moment, then dies out,
and the clouds turn purple, then
black, and the night is mistress of the
mining camp. A myriad lights leap
into being, Chinese lanterns glow in
every bunch of greenery, they fiutter
across the track in long cleaning
strings. Then women and boys ride
down the highway on the horses, on
mules, on camels, and all carry Chi
nese lanterns that dodge and dance
and glisten joyously. Old comrades
who have been sundered for years
meet and clasp hands in the sturdy
grip the digger loves; they shoulder
their, way to the nearest bar, and
drink to the memory of comrades
buried and comrades bankrupt, and
live again through the scenes that
made them friends. Old foes meet
and pass each other with a scowl or a
muttered oath, for your digger is
sound hater as we'll as a good lover.
The click of the billiard balls is heard
and the direful rattle of the dice-box.
Gamblers were at work with cards in
many spot, and gold that has cost
months of toll to win is lost in a few
hours mad plunging. Riddles squeak,
accordions wall, and harps twang in
the dancing saloons. Champagne
corks fly fast and furiously, and the
revel grows fiercer and fiercer.
AS the night wears on men reel
out of the drinking hells flushed. hot,
