One of them took our fancy, and impressed us with its beautiful simplicity, I suppose. He said: "Some miles above where the Darlin' and the Warrygo runs inter each other, there's a billygong runnin' right across between the two rivers and makin' a sort of tryhangular hyland; 'n' I can tel'yer a funny thing about it." Here he paused to light his pipe.
I will illustrate: PRESENT FORM: through, laugh, highland. SIMPLIFIED FORM: thru, laff, hyland. To write the word "through," the pen has to make twenty-one strokes. To write the word "thru," then pen has to make twelve strokes a good saving. To write that same word with the phonographic alphabet, the pen has to make only THREE strokes.
"My God!" said Houghton, turning upon him with staring eyes, "you are " "Whose horse is that?" interjected Cayley. Firefoot laid his head upon Cayley's shoulder. Houghton looked at them both for a moment. "It is the horse of Hyland the bushranger," he said. "All Queensland knows Firefoot." Then he dazedly added: "Are you Hyland?"
"Firefoot!" she answered dazedly, "that is the name of Hyland's horse Hyland the bushranger." "This is Hyland's horse," he said, and he patted the animal's neck gently as it thrust its head within the window. "But you said it was your horse," she rejoined slowly, as though the thing perplexed her sorely. "It is Hyland's horse; it is my horse," he urged without looking at her.

Here and there single logs were even projected bodily upwards, as an apple seed is shot from between the thumb and forefinger. Then the jam moved. Scotty Parsons, Jack Hyland, Red Jacket, and the forty or fifty top men had reached the shore. By the wriggling activity which is a riverman's alone, they succeeded in pulling themselves beyond the snap of death's jaws.
Florence Roberts, San Jose, Cal. Dear Madam: You will please take notice that pursuant to an order made this 13th day of December, 1905, by the Honorable M. H.

To write the word "laugh," the pen has to make FOURTEEN strokes. To write "laff," the pen has to make the SAME NUMBER of strokes no labor is saved to the penman. To write the same word with the phonographic alphabet, the pen has to make only THREE strokes. To write the word "highland," the pen has to make twenty-two strokes. To write "hyland," the pen has to make eighteen strokes.
Its members were invariably recruited from one of the other four camps; never from applicants who had not been in Thorpe's employ. A raw man was sent to Scotty, or Jack Hyland, or Radway, or Kerlie. There he was given a job, if he happened to suit, and men were needed.
He distinguished the broad, square shoulders of Scotty Parsons, Jack Hyland, Kerlie, Bryan Moloney; Ellis grinned at him from the press; Billy Camp, the fat and shiny drive cook; Mason, the foreman of the mill; over beyond howled Solly, the tug captain, Rollway Charley, Shorty, the chore-boy; everywhere were features that he knew.
