CHAPTER XIII.

Maurice Frere found his favorable
expectations of Sydney fully realized.
His notable escape from death at Mac
quarie Harbor, his alliance with the
daughter of so respected colonist as
Major Vickers. and his reputation as a
convict disciplinarian. rendered him a
man of note. He received vacant
magistracy, and became even more not
ed for hardness of heart and artfulness
of prison knowledge than before. The
convict population spoke of him as shat
--Frere," and registered vows of ven
geance against him, which he laughed
in his bluffness-to scorn.
One of the first things this useful
officer did upon his arrival in Sydney
was to inquire for Sarah Purfoy. To
his establishment, he discovered that she
was the proprietor of large export ware
houses in Pitt street, owned a neat cot
tage OH one of the points of land which
jutted into the bay, and was reputed
to possess e banking account of no in
considerable magnitude. He In vain
applied his brains to solve this mystery.
She had not been rich when she left
Van Diemen's land-at least, so she had
assured him, and appearances bore out
her assurance. How had she accumulat-
ed this sudden wealth? Above all. why
had she thus invested It? He made In
quiries at the banks, but was snubbed
for his pains. Sydney banks in those
days did some queer business.
He had not been long established In
his magistracy when Blunt came to
claim payment for the voyage of Sarah
Purfoy.

"Glad of it. am sure. What sort

believe his ears.
"She's got a couple of ships now. cap

Frere stared at Blunt, who stared a
the window. There was-so the instinc

strange project afoot. Yet that common
sense which so often misleads us urge,
that it was quite natural Sarah SHOULD
employ whaling vessels to increase he
trade. "Oh," said he, "and when d.
you start?"
I'm expecting to get a word ever.

I'd just come and see you first, in cas-
of anything falling In"
Maurice Frere, oppressed with suspi
cions, ordered his horse that afternoon
and rode down to see the cottage whic
the owner of "Purfoy Stores" had pun
chased. He found it a low white build

FOREST FIRES IN BOUNDARY

The forest in the section along the
Columbia & Western railway between
Cascade and the Bull Dog tunnel is
ablaze in places. The flames have
reached Farron, where they destroyed
the station, roundhouse, the water
tank and a large boarding house, en-
failing a loss of about $4,000.
The employees of the railway at Far

flames, which after destroying the
buildings passed on toward the Bull
Dog tunnel. The fires now extend
along the road for about 20 miles and
the entire available Canadian Pacific
railway force from Cascade to Rob
