As soon as I heard the news I said to myself, there was only one thing I could do unless I were just a mere bloodless image of a woman. I'm going to drive straight away now to Taloona and soothe the pain of those poor unfortunates. It's the sound of a woman's voice that is cheering to a lonely man when he's in pain, Mr. Wallace." "Is it?" Wallace said curtly. "I hope you are right, Mrs.
So it had come into her possession, and it must have been in her possession while she was talking to him after Wallace told her she must leave the bank; must have been in her possession while she drove with him to Taloona, and, for aught she knew, was in her possession when he found her lying senseless outside the hut. He sprang to his feet, crushing the damning sheet in his hand.
Burke put her threat into execution, and drove over to Taloona in a big old-fashioned waggonette with Patsy perched on the box and a store of blankets inside. "I've come to do my share of the work," she told the doctor. "They stopped me from coming before I was turned back by a trooper a mile from the house.
He would have preferred to follow them to the end, but after all he might get nearer the solution of the problem by a visit to Taloona. Within half an hour of Wallace's arrival at the bank Dudgeon drove up.
"I shall go to Taloona and see about it." "It will not assist you if you do. In the first place, you will not be able to see her, and, in the second, even if you did see her, you would only learn that the matter has been placed in my hands."

The only thing found on him was this." He produced a handkerchief with two round holes burned in the centre. "It was such a handkerchief one of the men who stuck up Taloona was wearing," he added.
But no love-light shone from them. They were unmoved, cold in their grey-blue depths almost to hardness. "Listen to me, my lad," the doctor said briskly. "The drive in from Taloona shook you up a bit, they tell me. Made you delirious, so that they had to keep you on the sofa all night watching you. That's where I found you when I got here at dawn.
He had stumbled on a clue, but the following it up was not for that day. Later he would return and complete his discovery. For the present he must leave it. There was a long ride before him if he were to reach Dudgeon's homestead at Taloona by sunset. That Eustace was one of the two men concerned in the robbery of the bank he had now no doubt.
Harding, please, Mrs. Eustace?" he began, when his keen eyes caught sight of the open letter lying on the table. He sprang forward and picked it up. "How did this come here?" he cried, looking from one to the other. "I brought it," Harding answered. "One of the troopers found it at Taloona and thought Mrs. Eustace or I had dropped it when attending to you."
Durham asked sharply. Brennan scratched his head and screwed up his face. "Well, to tell you the plain, honest truth, sir, I'm bothered if I know who to suspect. What gets over me is that white horse. No one believed the yarn about the buggy and pair of white horses, and no one believed the yarn about the men on white horses being seen on the Taloona road.
