THE RETURN
OF CHEZ LEE
Copyright. by shortstory Pub. Coz
By JAMES FRANCIS DwYER

The arrows of westering sun
ricocheted along the greasy surface
of the sea, and the sand beach was a
sheet Of white flame under their fire.
The coral teeth of the Great Barrier
bit viciously at the charging combers
and tossed up spray that fell like a
shower Of blood. A Japanese pearling
schooner beating up towards the
straits was the one splash of brown in
the belt of red ocean.
Verlund cursed. The strip Of vel
vety shadow swung round the hut, as
if hiding from the yellow glare that
licked at 1t hungrily, and his bare
legs had been stripped of their shade
covering. crawled after him as he
snuggled closer to the wall. The
locusts were singing noisily in clump
of small gum trees near the beach,
and I was thinking how silent 1t would
be after they had finished their song
when my companion startled me with
a question.
What brought you up here?" he
asked, sharply.

II drifted up to Rockhampton, and one
spring day the tropics bulged and
sucked me in closer to the line"
Verlund was regarding me curious
ly. He was the true type of the spine
less tropical deadbeat. The soul of
man dies in the tropics. 1t swoons
under the glamour, the color and the
light, and wrecks like Verland are the
result. A tattered shirt ballooned
over his sun-tanned body-a pair of
trousers with amputated legs was his
only other garment. His hair was
thick, black and oily, covering his
ears and hanging like TIE tassels of a
mat before the heat-tormented eyes.
Get back" he said, slowly. Get
down to Cairns and jump boat to
Sydney. This place is hell-plain
hell"
The locusts stopped singing for a
moment, and the silence fell upon us,
deathlike, tangible. The sound made

meet widow for the third time. At
the time of his death their clergyman
was away on a European trip, and in
this emergency the Rev. DR.. Blank
was called upon.
A neighbor instructed him hastily
as to the admirable qualities Of the
deceased, his benevolence, piety and
kind disposition, and gave him vari-
Gus points as to his family relations.
During the funeral discourse no out
s'der would have suspected that the
clergyman had not been lifelong
friend of the dead man. When, how
ever, he came to mention the widow
in his prayer, it was evident that his
data in regard to her had become a
trifie confused. He said:
"And now we commend to thy care
this widowed handmade, who has been
bereaved again and again and again
Then hesitating an instant, he added:
And perhaps again."
