If the readers of the following story wish to know who I am, I will oe curiosity so far as to stato that I was born in the North of England. My father was a retir- | education, but I never fulfilled the {expectations formed of me. This thing to prove that I ever succeeded in the, world. I am a poor clerk struggling for a mere existence, and sometimes with a strong wild im- pulse to wander through the country as 1 often did before, near the scenes of my former experience. I like the red sunset and the wild plains as much as ever; 1 like the glow of the sunset among the gnarled queer trees; I like the trippling rays of the waves,the waving shadowy grass of the silent hills--the bright still moon--the wilderness away from towns; Ilike the Australian life, but not among the dusty streets, or near the sweltering roads. For twelve years I have followed these impuses faithfully and enjoyed my bush life; with little profits, it is true, but with much of pleasures. All I have to show for all my wanderings and hardships'as I write is a long ugly scar across my breast, and I am go- ing to tell you how I got it. I remember I was sitting at the but (the Deep Water hut) one summer afternoon, looking for the coming, of "Long Mat". The sun was passing away blood red behind a range of dim blue hills; long sha~ dows were fast spreading; the hills behind the river just tipped with a crimson glory, and stars seemed dropping like silver specks on the pailing sky. Long Mat, the shep- herd was later than usual, The darkness had not quite fallen before. 1 heard the bleating of the flock in the distance, and soon after the fleeces of the sheep slowly ap- peared from out the sombre sha- dows of the trees. I had just walk- ed inside the hut to prepare supper when tho quick, muffled fall of a horse's feet became audible. Iknew the canter well, and came to the door to await the arrival of Mr.---- the owner of the hut, with a cheer- fal "good evening, Bill" and as usual he eame inside to ask me if I wanted anything, and te light his pipe. #1 can't stay long with you this time, Bill," be said pleasantly, but with a little anxiety ; "the black fel- lows aro about again. I hope your gun is in good order. Do you want any powder or lead ?" "We have quite enough," I repli- ed, "both Matand myself; but there's no bulletts; I'll run them to- morrow. Mat's not home; I saw thom pass the belt before you came." At this instagt the shadow of a man darkened the door, and Mat en- tered. #Good evening," he said, juietly toMr. S---- and myself. ¢ The sheep's feedin' home allright, sir, but there's a few missin'. One of the marked ewes is gone, and | can't see two of the crawlers." "You'll pick them up to-morrow, Mat," replied the strong ploasant voice of the squatter, " Bill says you've enough powder and lead.-- The blacks are about, de you know that?" Without waiting fer an answer, Mr. S-- proceeded to undo his horse and was about to mount, wheu Mat (who is an American) said. "1 guess yon had better stop to-night, " sir." . "« Why 7" « Indian's close up. One of the sheep T spoke off was speared." « I heard there were black fellows about," said Mr. 8----, delaying to mount : "but the rifle is safe enough, I got my rifle with me." « They's too close," responded the shepherd, after filling a panikin of tes, and, contrary to his custom, standing his gun against the table." Wo looked at him enquiringly.-- He kept his oye wandering over and around the lock while he ex- plained. * Wall, you zee, sir, after seeing the spear wound on the crawler, I looked abont me pretty sharp, bus couldn't see nothin' till 1 ed one of the varminis wrigglin' through the grass like a snake. 1 was going to give him a pill, but I the narrator, "they ain't far off now; 11 reckon. : to the extreme end of the hut. was leavin' the belt there, till I sight- through the open doorway, a quiver- od in the slabs bebind them. " By gum--" More remarks were drowned by a loud quivering snort of the peor horse. A moment later and he roll- ed heavily across the but door, com- pletely blocking up the entrance. Mat muttered away: "First-rate for us coons. Ye'd better bar the door, Bill? Doctor ! doctor! doctor! Ps, ps. Here lad." The dog leaped on the shepherd. "By gum," he said, "I thought he was outside." By this time Mr. S-- was cooly reconnoitering through tho loop- holes. He had let down the window and was preparing for action as un- eoncernedly as the shepherd, Every instant I was expecting & rush from outside, but there was not & sign or sound to betray the presence of the enemy. The sheep were camping quietly around the hurdles. Silence--the bright moon --the white fleeces mingling with the color of the crags--the still shadows of the trees--the far back forest-- the spectral tracery of the branches in tho moonlight. Tbe silence was terrible. One of the wethers rose and walked forward a few yards and then commenced stamping quickly on the ground. "My oyes," said Matt, for the first time breaking the silence, "if the Old Parson ain't sighted out the darkeys." The "Old Parson" was a patriarch wether that was afflicted with the foot rot and usually fell on his knees. "So he has, and by gum, there's a crowd ; the whole tribe has come to visit. Hot enough in the shade, boss," he continued after another in- terval, and in # bard whispering tone. Tho next moment the first report rang out intoa myriad echoes. A shrill death shout followed, as the dark figure of a man leaped with a sudden force from his ambush and fell prone gurggling out blood and broken words. " Now, boss," said Mat, looking out, but still charging, "fifty yards to the right of the hurdles." "Boss (Mr. S----) changed the direction of his gun and fired. The human figure seemed to sink down so quickly, so calmly, so helplessly that I felta strange thrill of pity. « He's fixed safe as houses; let's physic another or two, and maybe they'll make tracks;" again mutter- ed the shepherd in tones of suppress- od glee. "Cook, why don't you shoot ? squint around that first block to-the right of the wattle." Looking in the directed by Mat, whose eyes seeméd to be everywhere Tsaw the figure of a man partly visible against the ground. He was evidently sheltering himself from the other two guns, butowing to my silence hitherto, he must have beon of the opinion that the portion of the hut where I stood was un- occupied. For an instant I could see nothing through the smoke, but it cleared almost immediately. Just as tbe shepherd said: "Don't shoot again--he's fixed," 1 saw the poor wretch staggering towards the hut, and then falling with a dull wound, God forgive me, it was very like murder. This was the fivst life I had taken, The next I remembered was Mr, S---- asking me if I had run any bullets. Not one." «Have you any in the hut 2" "Not one." Mat informed us that we were "treed," much in thesame way that he would tell the rations were short. He quietly pulled bis gun from the loobbole, saying, "Iv'e only oue more pill to keep our skins, We'll have to trust to Doctor." Mat's dog, Doctor, was partly a Smithfield partly a Newfoundland. Heo had been trained by bim to do all kinds of tricks. Among others, he repeatedly took written message. to the station when attached to his collar, and I presume this was the object Mat had in view when referr- ing to him as able to procure relief. « Mister, d'ye think you kin rite a message in the dark or by moon light, askin' the hands atthe home~ stead to come this way? No time around the hut. Bill, knock away and then there arose a wild jabbering saw a flaming brand whizzing did not appear to us that any of tolose; Isce the darkies dodging the lower part of the rotten slabs behind your back.

The message was scrawled and saw another wriggle in bis wake, | than a minute, and the noblefbrute, who seemed to know the danger, stood anxiously trembling till 'the rw i he wl TINGS & aD .

Everything being at last prepared he spat upon the dog's muzzle, held his .head close to his cheek for a moment, and then passed him gnick- ly out of the hole'and away down the shelving bank. We listened anxiously for a time, for a minute, the next instant we heard a yelp of pain. "My God!" said I, involuntary, "the Doctor's speared." 't No he ain't." snapped Mat. 'He is jist touched an' no more. He'll do it." "He must be quick, said Mr, S-- "the black devils have struck alight somewhere, and they are going burn us out, Look!" Our eyes were now intently scann. ing the movements of the savages through the loopholes, and we through the the air, and scattering sparks in all directions. It fell on the string bark roof above our heads. Another and another came, but it them had taken effect. By this time the black fellows had taken courage. Believing ammuni. tion was expended, many of them had left cover, and might be seen flittering about like spectres. They bad kindled a fire some distance off, and across the glare shadows were continually falling. The fire brands were thrown no longer some fresh mode of attack was preparing. Our suspense con- tinued for nearly an hour, during which time not a word was spoken by any of us; and if help did not soon arrive it was certain we should gain no escape from the demons who were trying to compass our destruction. " Now, 'look slick," whispered Mat, "I seo their game ; thoy're go= to give us fits, How's the moon ?-- well aback of the hut, I guess. Bill stick your cabbage tree on a pillow and hold it at the open window when I tell you. I'll jist go out and bid them good evening. Don't bar the window after me, mister, but when I show them my heels, openlit. You 800 We can't sparo ammunition." Mat then unbarred the door and slipped out noiselessly. Through the slabs he said to me: "D'ye see that devil with a blazing log? When he gets close to the wattle, open; tho window and pop up the pillow. Take care of their spears yourself." " As soon a the black fellows came to the point indicated I opened the long little shutter with some noise and held up the dummy. In a moment a dozen spears passed through the aperature, and I let the the window fall, as though one of us was mortally wounded. There was a wild shout outside. At this time the black fellow who carried the log was within a few yards of the hut, and I heard Mat prepare for his move outside. Look- ing out just as qnick as I could I bad just time to sve his tall figure emerge beyond the shade as the but end of leader. door, He'll never doit," and our last bullet brought down the rings There was consternation hurried consultation. After of about five minutes,the whole of the besiegers rushed shrieking on our little garrison. A moment's surge outside, and the door fell back ar} Mr, S------'6 gun swung down with terrible force on 'the crowding savages, felling two of the foremost likke oxen, I romember a wild gle with our guns and fists. Mat and the squatter towered above their opponents like giants, fighting with terrible energy. The black fellows had forced me to the ground; one was shortening his grasp of the spear to drive it through my body when I felt a gush of blood spouting over my face and chest, just as a savage fellon me mortally wounded Then I remember a hurrah outside and the sharp cracking of rifles. "That wasa good back-handed blow, boss," said Mat, faintly; "I guess the cook's got another squeak. D'ye hear that? Horrah! Knowed the dector u'd de it, he said with re- newed energy, "take that," and I heard thedull sound of another blov and a low moan of pain as the station . bands rushed in. The doctor soon recovered. Sodid Mat, who is now considered one of the richest men in the colonies, I--well, I have a large scar across my breast. BE vaccinating, but the company he commands is not, and recently, before going into camp the colonel resolved to have the men vaccin- nated, whether they would or not. Vaccinating the Soldiers. Col, McWhandang is a great advocate of So he made a trade like this with Dr, Trough : He wouldon Tuesday morning send the men one by one to the Doctor's office. Ho was to have two stalwart assistants there and immediately seize the men and vac cinate them by force, Editor Keeno has his office just across tho hall, in the same building with the doctor. Tuesday morning issue of his paper contained a malignant assult on the « Piebaled Plungers," another military company, Keene knew the members of the company would come up to wallop him, and so he slyly took his sign and put it on Dr. Trough's door, Presently up came Lieut. Pills of the plungers. Blind with rage he rushed ifito the doctor's office supposing it to be Keene's. The Doctor saw his uniform, and at once ordered him seized. Before he could say a word, the assistantshad him in a chair, "Up with his sleeves!" You villain, what are you about 7' roared Pills. " You'll see," and whaek went the knife, and in spite of Pill's howl and struggles he was vaccinated. Now git I" oried the doctor, and Pills was pushed out,and started down stuits Then came Col. Thug, of the Plungers, " Where is the pirate I" he asked, The doctor didn't reply, but vaccinated the excited man in a jiffy and put him out, Then others began to pour in, and all had the same amazing experience, and the doctor was flying aboug like a parched pea ona hot shovel, he was so busy. And as the vaccinated men began to accamulate outside and talk the matter over, their shazement was intense, Lieut, Pills swore he'd go up and kill the man, and he tried it, but he got left on it, and the doctor vaccinated him again abd put him out, and he begin delirious with wrath bolted in again and, after a desprate fight, was vaccinaied again, That satisfied him He fled, And Dr. Trough bad vaccinated twenty-two of the Plungers, and they were outside preparing for a united rush on, tke shop, when Col. McWhangdang came down to see the docter. Said the Doctor, ® Well Colonel, I've vaccinated twenty-two of 'em!' « You hdve?1 haven't sent ome here! I come to tell youI'd put it off till next week!" his gan fell crushing on the head of the fire bearer. The door was open- od as Mat turned ; it required but one or two bounds to, take him to the door, but the savages wero too quick for him with their spears. He staggered through the entrance and fell just as he cleared the door- WAY, : « Caught in the thing, I guess," he exclaimed, as he slowly recovered himself and painfully struggled to the window. "Don't mind the spear," he remarked tome as I approached him ; "it's better as itis till help comes." «If it ever does," thought L The American's sortie, 1 believe had a_rather disastious effect, for the black fellows seemed to conclude at once that our ammunition was ex- pended and they thronged around ths hut without. caring to shelter themselves, "In a short time the crackling of flames on the roof put.an end to our trouble.
