CHAPTER I

It is my good fortune markably vivid recollection of the town

of Geelong. Others may have found the place quiet, or even colorless enough to

to cherish a re-

justify an echo of the cheap local sneer at | its expense; to me, those’sloping parallels ter- |

of low houses have still a common minus in the bluest of all Australian waters; and I peuple the streets, whose very names I have forgotten, with faces of extraordinary kindness,

while memory holds her seat. So it is

and I may say at once that the epoch was none of my making. My connection with singular

accident, the result of one of those meetings which are the veriest commonplace of outlandish travel. It was & Monday afternoon when I arrived

and the populace sudden run on one of the banks.

Wednesday, another bank which had no- |

toriously received much of the money withdrawn from the Barwon Banking Company, Limited, was in its turn the vie- tim of a still uglier fate. The Geelong branch of the Intercolonial was entered

in broad daylight by a man masked and |

armed to the beard, who stayed some ten minutes and then walked into thin air with no less a sum than nineteen thous- and and odd pounds in notes and gold.

I was playing lawn tennis with my then new friends when we heard the news, and it stopped our game. The bank man- ager’s wife, a friend of my friends arrived

herself upon the scene, incoherent with | horror, and accompanied by her daughter, !

And I heard at first-hand a few broken. hysterical words from the white lips of an elderly lady, and noted the tearless trouble in the wide blue eyes of the girl before it struck me to retire had been at luncheon in the private part of the bank, and knew nothing of the attair until the junior clerk brol@ in up- on them like a lunatic at large.

agitated by a side issue far worse to her than the hank’s loss. There had heen no bloodshed. The revolver kept beneath the counter had been used—but<used in

vain. It was not loaded. Her husband would be blamed, nay, discharged to a certainty in his old age And I, too, walked down the street with the picture of an elderly couple brought to ruin, and a blue-eyed girl gone for a governess, appealing more to me than the immedi- ately dramatic side of the incident.

I found my way tothe Intercolonial bank; there was no need to ask it. A crowd clamored at the doors, but these were shut for the day. And I learned no

We were 28 and 24 now, instead of 18 and 14; but, as we walked, only one of us was a wan, and i was once more his fag.

“Clerk in a bank,’’ said he,

‘*Not the Intercolonial?’’ I cried.

‘That's it,’’ he answered, nodding.

‘*Then you were there to-day. This is luck; I’vo been so awfully keen to know exactly what happened !’’

‘*I was not there,’’ replied Deedes. ‘‘I was having my lunch, Ican only tell you what I saw when I got back. There was our cashier sprawled across

“There would have been nothing wonderful in that,’’ was the odd reply. ‘““t should have had everything to gain and nothing to lose."’

‘*Not your life?”’

‘*That’s less than nothing.”’

‘‘Nonsense, Deedes,”’ said I, although or because I could see that it was not, **You don’t mean a word of it!’’

“I do, every word; but that’s neither here ncr there,’’ he answered. ‘Give me another cigarette, Bectle; you were ask-

“You're joking.’’ said I, returning his smile, ‘Still, if 1 was going in for that sort of thing, Deedes, I don’t know who I'd rather have on my side than you!”’

He was grave and eager in an instant,

**Will you go in for it?’ he cried, ‘‘ I’m joking far less than you think. My life’s a sordid failure. I’m sick of it, and ready for a fling. Will you come in?’

**No,”’ said I, ‘*I won't.’’

His bitter voice, the lines upon his face, his gray hairs at 238, all appealed to me with equal and irresistible force; my hand went out to him, and with it my heart.

‘“‘Tam geo sorry, Deedes,’’ said I, ner- vously, ‘‘If a fiver or two—yes, you must let me! For the sake of the wld school !’’

‘“That’s all right, Beetle. It was well meant and you're a good chap. We'll foregather to-morrow, if this wretched business leaves usa spare moment in the bank; meanwhile, good night—and thanks!’’

I did not wish my hospitable friends to know that I had used lodgings, placed at my disposal as their guest, as though I had engaged them on my own account. After all, I was a guest, not a lodger, yet I had behaved as the latter introducing & man at midnight and sitting up in con- versation with him until two o’clock in the morning. Deedes, moreover, as I suspected from his manner when I men- tioned them, was most probably no friend of my friends; indeed I had no clue to his reputation in the town, and should have been surprised to find it a good one. He had been a reckle#s boy at school; at the very least he wasa reckless man. Other traits in him, too, must have de- veloped with his years; he had been ex- pelled, for example, for certain gallantries not criminal in themselves, but sufficient- ly demoralizing ata public school; and

Rheumatism of 20 years’ standing radically cured by Scott's Sarsaparilia.

Mrs. Sarah Browning, an estimable resident of the Ambitious City, was for twenty years a sufferer from acute rheu- matism, and her restoration to health is soremarkable that we present the case for the bemefit of our readers, many of whom are doubtless sufferers from this painful complaint which arises from blood poison, Mrs. Browning says: ‘I used only one bottle of Scott’s Sarsaparilla and received such benefit that 1 continued taking only at intervals for two months. That is seven months ago, and the pain has not returned. I had spent a fortune in various “‘ treatments ” and was told by one medical man that a cure was ime possible as I had suffered so long.”

Scott’s Sarsaparilla cures by making and keeping the bloodpure. Itincreases flesh by digesting flesh-forming foods, It is the most successful medicine in the world to-day, for dyspepsia, nervous troubles, rheumatism, sciatica, syphilitic afflictions, pimples and all diseases originating in a foul condition of the blood.
