Por The Term ofHis Natural Life By MARCUS CLARKE CHAPTER XII. "The old dodso," said Frero again. "Of course, I couldn't let lilm go; but I took him out of tho chnln gang, nnd put him on tho Osprey. You daw her In the dock as you cnmo In. Ho worked for some time very well, nnd then tried to bolt again." "TJio old trick. Ha; lift I don't I know It?" says Mr. Frere. "Well, we caught him and gnvo him fifty. Then he was sent to tho chnln gang, cutting timber. Thon wo put him Into tho boats, but ho quarroled with tho coxswain, and then Wo took him back to tho timber rafts. About six weeks ngo he made another attempt togeOier with Gnbbett, the man who nearly killed you but his leg was chafed with the irons, nnd wo took him. Gabbett and three more, however, got away." Just then some ono came up the gar den path and saluted. "What Is it, Troko?" "Prisoner given himself up, air. CJab bett. He came back to-night. He's down at the sheds. You can see lilm at once, gentlemen, If you like." It was not far to the sheds, and after n few minutes' walk through the wood en palisades they reached a long stone building, two stories high, from which lssed a horrible growling pierced with shrilly screamed songs. At the sound of the musket butts clashing on the pine wood flagging, the noises ceased, nnd a silence more sinister than sound fell on the place. Passing between two rows of warders, the two officers reached a sort of ante room to the jail, containing a pine-log stretcher, on which n mass of some thing was lying. On n roughly made istool, by the side of this stretcher sat a man in the gray dress of "good con duct" prisoners. This man held be tween his knees a basin containing gruel and was apparently endeavoring to feed the mass on the pine logs. "Gabbett!" The intelligent Troke, considerably olive to the wishes of his superior offi cers, dragged the mass into a sittiug posture, and awoke it. Gnbbett for It was he passed one great hand over his face, and, leaning exactly in the position in which Troke bad placed him, scowled, bewildered, nt his visitors. "Well, Gabbett," says Vickers, "you've come back again, you see. When will you learn sense, eh? Where are your inn tea?" "Dead," says Gnbbett. "Why don't you eat your gruel?" "I have eaten it. Ain't yer got nuf .fin' better nor that to flog a man on? Ugh! yer a mean lot!. Wot's it to be this time, major? Fifty?" "A nice specimen!" said Vickers. with a hopeless smile. "What can one do with such a fellow?" "I'd flog his soul out of his body," said Frere, "if he spoke to me like that." The giant raised his great head and looked nt the speaker, but did not rec ognize him. He saw only a strange face a visitor, perhaps. "You may .flog, and welcome, master," snid he, "if you'll give me a 6g o' tibbacky." Frere laughed. Tho brutal indifference of the rejoinder suited his humor, and, with a glance at Vickers, he took n small piece of cavendish from the pock et of his pea jacket, and gave to the recaptured convict. Gabbett snatched it as n cur snatches at a bone, and thrust it whole into his mouth. "How many mates had he?" asked Maurice, watching the champing Jaws ns one looks nt a strange animal, and asking the question ns though a "mate" was something n convict was born with like a mole, for instance. "Three, sir." "Three, eh? Well, give him thirty lashes, Vickers." 'And if I ha' had three more," growl ed Gabbett, mumbling nt his tobacco, "you wouldn't ha' had tho chance." As he sat there gloomily chewing, lie was a spectacle to shudder at. Not so much on account of his natural hideous ness, Increased a thousandfold by the tattered and filthy rags which barely covered him. Not so much on account of his unshaven jaws, his hare-lip, his torn and bleeding feet, his haggard cheeks, nnd his huge, wasted frame. Not only because, looking at the animal, us he crouched, with one foot curled round the, other, and one hairy arm pendent between his knees, lie was so Iiorribly unhumau, that one shuddered to think that tender women nnd fair chil dren must, of necessity, confess to fel- lowshlp of kind with such a monster. Hut nlso because, In his slavering mouth, his slowly grinding jaws, his restless fingers, and his bloodshot, wondering eye, there lurked a hint of some terror more awful than the terror of starvation a memory of a tragedy played out in tho gloomy depths of that forest which iiad vomited him forth again and the Bbadow of this unknown horror, cling ing to him, repelled, ns though he bore about with him the reck of the sbam bles. "Come," said Vickers, "let us go back. I shall have to flog him again, I sup poso. Oh, this place! No wonder they call It 'Hell's Gates.' " "Halloo! what's that red light there?" "Dawes' fire on Grummet Itock," nays Vickers, going In; "the man I told you about." Two or threp mornings after the ar rival of the Ladybird, the solitary pris oner of tho Grummet Rock noticed mys terious movements along the shore of the Island settlement. Tho building of a pier, or breakwater, running from the western point of the settlement, was discontinued; and all hands appeared to be occupied with tho newly built Osprey, which was lying on the slips. Parties of soldiers also daily left tho Ladybird, and assisted at the mysterious work In progress. A fortnight after this, about the 10th of December, he observed another curi ous fact. All the boats on the island put off one morning to the opposite side of the harbor, and In tho course of the day a great smoke arow along the aide f the hills, Tlit next day the aame was repeated; nnd on tho fourth day the boats returned, towing behind them a huge rnft. This raft, mado fast to tho side of tho Ladybird, provod to bo composed of planks, beams and Joists, all of which were duly hoisted up and stowed In the hold of tho brig. This fet Unfus Dawes thinking. Could It possibly bo that tho timber cutting was to bo abandoned, nnd that tho gov ernment had hit upon somo other method of utilizing Its convict labor? He had hewn timber nnd built bonts, and tanned hides nnd made shoes. Was It possible that somo new trado was to bo inltlatod? Before, he had settled this point to his satisfaction, ho was startled by nnothor boat expedition. Three- boats' crews went down the bay, nnd returnod, after a day's absence, with an addition to their number In the shapo of four strangers and a quantity offe stores nnd farming Implements. Rufus Dawes, catching sight of theso last, came to the conclu sion that the boats had been to Philip Island, where the "garden" was estab lished, nnd had taken off the gardeners nnd garden produce. Rufus Dawes de cided that the Lady-bird had brought a new commandment his sight, trained by his half-sarage life, had already dis tinguished Mr. Maurice Frere and that these mysteries were "improvements" under the now rule. When he arrived at this point of reasoning, another con jecture, assuming his first to have been correct, followed as a natural conse quence. Lieutenant Frere would be a more severe commandment thnn Major Vickers. Now, severity hnd nlroady reached its height, so far as ho was concerned: so the unhappy man took a final resolution he would kill himself. Ignorant that the sights and sounds about him were symptoms of the final abandonment of the settlement, and that the Lady-bird was sent down to bring away the prisoners, Rufus Dawes de cided upon getting rid of that burden of life which pressed upon him so heav ily. For six years ho had hewed wood and drawn water; for six years he had hoped against hope; for six years he had lived In the valley of the shadow of death. He dared not recapitulate to himself what he had suffered. Indeed, his senses were deadened nnd dulled by torture. He cared to remember only one thing that he was a prisoner for life. In vain had been his first dream of free dom, ne hnd done his best, by good conduct, to win release; but the villainy of Vetch nnd Rex had deprived him of the fruit of his labor. Instead of gain ing credit by his exposure of tho plot on board the Malabar, ho was himself deemed guilty and condemned, in spite of his nsservations of innocence. The knowledge of his "treachery," while It gained for him no credit with the au thorities, procured for him the detesta tion and ill-will of the monsters among whom he found himself. On his arrival nt Hell's Gates he was a marked man, a pariah among those beings who were pariahs to all the world'besldes. In the meantime, the settlement was in a fever of excitement. In less than three weeks from the announcement made by Vickers, all had been got ready. The commandant had finally nrrnnged witli Frero as to his course of action. He himself would accompany the Lady bird with the main body. His wife nnd daughter were to remain until the sail ing of the Osprey, which Mr. Frere was to bring up as soon as possible. "I will leave you a corporal's guard, and ten prisoners as a crew," Vickers said. "You can work her easily with that number." To which Frero had replied that he could do with five prisoners if necessary, for he knew how to get double work out of the lazy dog3. Near Philip's Island, on the north side of the harbor, is situated Coal Head, where a party had been lately at work. This party, hastily withdrawn by Vick ers to assist in the business of devasta tion, had left behind it some tools and timber, and at the eleventh hour a boat's crew was sent to bring away tho debris. The tools were duly collected, and the pino logs worth twenty-five shillings apiece In nobart Town duly rafted and chained. Tho timber was secured, and the couvicts, towing it after them, pulled for the ship just as the sun sunk. In the general relaxation of discipline and haste the raft had not been made with ns much care as usual, and the strong current against which the boat was la boring assisted the negligence of the con victs. The logs began to loosen, and though the onward motion of tho boat kept the chain taut, when the rowers slackened their exertions tho mass part ed', and Mr. Troke, hooking himself on to the side of the Lady-bird, saw a huge log slip out from its- fellows, and dis appear into tho darkness. Gazing after it with an indignant and disgusted stare, as though It had been a refractory pris oner who merited two-days' "solitary," he thought he heard a cry from tho di rection in which It had been borne. He would have paused to listen, but all his attention was needed to save the timber, nnd to prevent the boat from being swamped by the struggling mass nt her stern. Tho cry hnd proceeded from Rufus Dawes. From his solitary rock ho had watched the boat pass him and make for tho Lady-bird In-channel, and ho had decided that tho moment when the gath ering gloom swallowed her up should bo the moment when ho would plunge Into tho surgo below him. The heavily la boring boat grew dimmer and dimmer, as each tug of the oars took her further from lilm. Presently, only tho figure of Mr. Troko in tho stern sheets was vis ible; than thnt also disappeared, and as the nose of the timber raft roso on tho swell of tho next wave, Rufus Dawes flung himself into tho sea. He was heavily ironed, and be sunk like a stone. He had resolved not to attempt to swim, and for the first mo ment kept his arms raised above his bead in order to sink the quicker. But as tho short, sharp agony of suffocation caught him, and the shock of the icy water dispelled the mental intoxication under which he was laboring, he desper ately struck out, and despite the weight of his irons, gained the surface for an instant. As he did so, all bewildered, and with the one savage instinct of 'self- preservation predominant over all other thoughts, ho bocamo conscious of a huge black mass surging upon lilm out of t u) darkness. An Instant's buffot with tho current, nn ineffectual attempt to dive beneath It, n horrible Bcnse tnai mo weight nt his feet was dragging him down and tho hugo log, loosened from the rnft, wns upon him, crushing him be neath Its rough nnd ragged sides. Tha log passed completely over him, thrust ing him beneath the water, but his hnnd, scfaplug along tlio splintered side, came (n contact with tho loop of hide rope that yet hung round the mass, and he clutched It with tho tenacity of a death grip. In nnothor Instant ho got his head above water, nnd, making good his hold, twistod himself, by a violent effort, across tho log. - For a moment ho saw tho lights from tho storn windows of tho anchored ves sels low In the distance; Grummet Rock disappeared on his left; then, exhausted, breathless, and bruised, ho closed his eyes, and the drifting log bore him swift ly and Bllently away Into tho dnrkuess. At daylight tho uext morning, Mr. Troke, landing on the prison rock, fouud It deserted. Tho prisoner's enp was lying on tho edge of the little cliff, but tho prisoner himself had disappeared. Pulling back to tho Ladybird, the Intel ligent Troko pondered on the circum stance, and In delivering his report to Vickers mentioned the strange cry he had heard the night before. "It's my belief, sir, that ho was trying to swim tho bay," he said. "Ho must ha gone to the bottom anyhow, for ho couldn't swim five yards with them Irons." Vickers, busily engaged In getting un der way, accepted this very natural sup position without question. Tho prisoner had met his death either by his own act or by accident. It wns either n sulcido or attempt to escape, and tho former conduct of Rufus Dawes rendered tho latter explanation a more probable one. In any ense, he was dead. As Mr. Troko rightly surmised, no man could swim tho bay In Irons; and when the Lady-bird, an hour later, passed the Grummet Rock, nil on bonrd her believed that the corpso of Its Into occupant was lying beneath the waves that seethed at Its base. The drifting log that had so strangely served as a means of saving Rufus Dawes swam with the current that was running out of tho bay. For some tlmo tho burden that It boro was an Insen sible one. Exhausted with his desper ate struggle for life, tho convict lay along tho rough bark of this heaven sent raft without motion, almost without breath. At length a volent shock nwoko him to consciousness, and he perceived that the log had becomo stranded on n sandy point, tho extremity of which was lost In darkness. Painfully raising him self from his uncomfortable posture, ho staggered to his feet, and, crawling a few paces up the bench, flung himself upon the ground and slept. When he woko up It was past mid day, and the Bun poured Its full rays upon him. His clothes were dry In all places, save the side on which ho had been lying, nnd he roso to his feet re freshed by his long sleep. He scarcely comprehended, ns yet, his true position. Ho hnd escaped, It was true, but not for long. Ho was versed In the history of escapes, and knew that a man alono on that barren coast was face to fnce with starvation or recapture. Glanclug up at the sun, he wondered, Indeed, how It was that ho had been free so long. Then the coal sheds caught his eye, and he understood that they were untenant ed. This astonished him, nnd he began to trcmblo with vague apprehension. En tering, he looked around, expecting ev ery moment to see some lurking constn blo or armed soldier. Suddenly his glanco fell upon the loaves which lay in the corner where the departing con victs hud flung them the night before. At such a moment, this discovery seem ed like a direct revelation from heaven. He would not have beeu surprised had they disappeared, nad he lived in nil other nge, he would havo( looked round for the angel who had brought them. (To 1 cnutlniieil.) Ilnlilcil.

This list of plants and shrubs, with their requirements In regnrd to tho pruning season, Is especially timely and helpful. It has tho weight of authori ty, as coming from a practical gar dener. There Is a right time nnd a wrong time to pruno each plant, but few amateurs can distinguish between them. Also certain trees do not need pruning nt all.

It Is often tho case that an orchard In middle life Is fouud tu bo no longer profitable, mainly because n mlstako was mado In the selection of the varie ties In the beginning. In such cases tho orchard may bo mado profitable again by top-grafting the trees. This Is not a dllllcult task, provided It Is proper ly done and tho union between tho branch and tho scion is perfect. As a rule branches not over an Inch tu di ameter are the best to work this way. Of course, It Is understood thnt tho scions would bo much smaller in diam eter thnn tho parent stock, so tho plan Is to Insert two on each outer edge. The main thing to observe Is to bo sure that the bark of both scion and parent stock Is In iwrfect line, bo that tho flow of sap may be perfectly free. Caro must also be taken that the spaco between the scions and the parent stock mado by the chisel bo filled with the grafting wax, as well as any other spnccH In which the air may get. It Is not ens toinary to leave both of tho grafts, but to cut out the weaker ono If Iwith grow. This work Is Interesting and really very simple If ono gets the knack of It, and It certainly pays with an orchard that Is not too old If caro U taken to ob tain scions from known bearing trees of tho best sorts.

In the opinion of tho writer and of other dairymen of long exterlence this would bo one of the worst mistakes that could bo mnde. The calf that Is tho pot of tho family Is more than likely to bo used by tho children for ninny pur ines for which It was never Intended. By all means treat the calves that arc to bo raised kindly, haudlo them con siderably nnd put them caressingly oft en, but let the iwttlug stop here, for if It Is played with by thu children, run ning and Jumping with them, being hnrnesscd up with strings as children are quite likely to do, It becomes n nuisance ns It grows; It sooun gets Im pudent, noses around where It has no business, nnd, If Its horns nro allowed to grow, becomes dangerous later on.
