Medlicot might be easily mistaken as to what he had seen at a distance in the middle of the night. All this happened on Christmas-day. At about nine o'clock the same evening the two constables re-appeared at Gangoil, and asked for hospitality for the night. This was a matter of course, and also the reproduction of the Christmas dinner. Mrs.

"Well, I suppose I shall till this fellow is old enough to be talked to, and to be made to bear the burden of his father's care." "By that time, Harry, you will have got rich, and we shall all be in England, sha'n't we?" "I don't know about being rich, but we shall have been free-selected off Gangoil. Now, Mrs. Growler, we've done dinner, and I'll have a pipe before I make another start.

Though Heathcote had done all this for Gangoil, it must be understood that the vast extent of territory over which his sheep ran was by no means his own property. He was simply the tenant of the Crown, paying a rent computed at so much a sheep. He had, indeed, purchased the ground on which his house stood, but this he had done simply to guard himself against other purchasers.

What would you think of me, Karl, if I were to find you out, and was to be afraid of speaking to you, lest you should turn against me and burn my fences?" Karl Bender shrugged his shoulders, holding his reins up to his eyes. "I know what you ought to think! And I wish that every man about Gangoil should be sure that I will always say what I think right.

But to her, living in the solitude of Gangoil, the one word had been so much! Her heart had melted with absolute acknowledged love when the man had been brought through into the house with all the added attraction of a broken bone.

The stables were almost unnecessary, as the horses, of which the supply at Gangoil was very large, roamed in the horse paddock, a comparatively small inclosure containing not above three or four hundred acres, and were driven up as they were wanted.

Nokes was aware that some one on horseback had been near him when he was firing the grass, but had thought that it was one of the party from Gangoil. By the time that Jerry Brownbie had reached the German, Medlicot was there also. "Who the deuce are you?" asked Jerry. "What business is that of yours?" said Medlicot. "No business of mine, and you firing our grass!

"I'm pretty well, thank ye, Mr. Heathcote. I hope you're the same, and the ladies. The master's about somewhere, I take it. Picky, go and find the master." Picky was one of the Polynesians, who at once started on his errand. "Have you been over to Gangoil since you left it?" said Harry, looking the man full in the face. "Not I, Mr. Heathcote. I never go where I've had words.

"That's true. I've just ridden home from "From Gangoil? I didn't know you were so friendly there, Mr. Medlicot." "And where have you been?" "Not to Gangoil, anyway. Good-night, Mr. Medlicot." Then the man took himself into his hut, and was safe from further questioning that night.

The station itself was certainly very pretty. It consisted of a cluster of cottages, each of which possessed a ground-floor only. No such luxury as stairs was known at Gangoil. It stood about half a mile from the Mary River, on the edge of a creek which ran into it.
