For The Term of His Natural Life
By MARCUS CLARKE
CHAPTER XXI.
Rufus Dawea had been a fortnight nt
the settlement when a newcomer appear
ed on the chain gang. This was a young
man of about twenty years of age, thin,
fair and delicate. Hb name was Kirk
land, and ho belonged to what were
known as the "educated" prisoners. He
had been a clerk in a banking house, and
was transported for embezzlement,
though, by some, grave doubts as to his.
guilt were entertained. The command
ant, Captain Burgess, had employed him
as butler In his own house, and his fate
was considered a "lucky" one. So,
doubtless, it was, and might haTe been,
had not an untoward accident occurred.
Captain Burgess, who was a bachelor of
the "old school," confessed an amiable
weakness for swearing. Kirkland be
longed to a Methodist family, and owned
a piety utterly out of placo in that re
gion. The language of Burgess made
him shudder, and one day he so far for
got himself and his place as to raise his
hands to his ears. "I'll soon cure you
of that!" cried Burgess, and forthwith
ordered him. to the chain gang for "in
subordination." Ho was received with suspicion by the
gang, who did not like white-handed
prisoners. Troke, by way of experi
ment in human nature, perhaps, placed
him next to Gabbett. When the muster
bell rang, and the gang broke up, Rufus
Dawes, on his silent way to his separate
cell, observed a notable change of cus
tom In the disposition of the new con
Tlct Instead of placing him In a cell by
himself, Troke was turning him into the
yard with the others.
"I'm not to go in there?" says the ex
bank clerk, drawing back in dismay from
the cloud of foul faces which lowered
upon him.
"But you are. then!" says Troke. "The
governor says a night In there'll tako the
6tarch out of yer. Come, In yer go."
"Let him out, watchman!" said North,
who happened by.
Can t, sir, without an order from the
commandant"
"I order you, sir!" North cried, Indig
nant.
"Very sorry, your reverenve; but your
reverence knows that I daren't do such a
thing."
North rushed away to the command
ant, and the instant his back was turned,
Halles, the watchman, flung open the
door and darted into the dormitory.
"Take that!" he cried, dealing Kirk
land a blow on the head with his keys,
that stretched him. senseless. "There's
more trouble with you aristocrats than
enough. Lie quiet!"
lue commandant, roused from his
clumber, told Mr. North that Kirkland
might stop where he was, and that he'd
thank the chaplain not to wake him up
Decause a prisoner set up a howline.
North returned to the prison dlscon
Bolately, found the dutiful Halles at his
post, and all quiet "What's become of
Kirkland?" he asked.
"Fretted hlsself to sleep, yer rever
ence," said Hailes, In accents of par
ental concern. "Poor chap! It's hard
for such young 'uns as he. sir."
In the morning Rufus Dawes, coming
to nis place on the chain gang, was
struck by the altered appearance of
Kirkland. His face was of a greenish
tint, and wore an expression of bewil
dered horror.
"Cheer up, man!" said Dawes, touch
ed with momentary pity. "It's no good
being In the mopes, you know."
"What do they do if you try to bolt?'
whispered Kirkland.
"Kill you," returned Dawes, In a tone
of surprise at so preposterous a ques
tion.
"Thank God!" said Kirkland.
The work of the gang that afternoon
was the carrying of, some heavy logs to
the water-side, and Rufus Dawes ob
served that Kirkland was exhausted
long before the task wns accomplished.
"They'll kill you, you little beggar!"
eald he, not unkindly.
He bad hardly uttered the words
when the boy flung himself beneath the
log. In another instant the train would
have been scrambling over his crushed
body, had not Gabbett stretched out an
Iron hand and plucked the would-be sui
cide from death.
"Hold on to mo," said the giant. "I'm
big enough to carry double."
Kirkland uttered a cry, and then,
holding up his irons with his hands,
he started to run for the water.
"Halt, you young fool!" roared Troke,
raising his carbine. But Kirkland kept
eteadlly on for the river. Just as he
reached It, however, the figure of Mr.
North rose from behind a pile of stones.
Kirkland jumped for the jetty, missed
his footing and fell Into the arms of the
chaplain.
"You young vermin you shall pay
for this!" cries Troke. "You'll see If
you won't remember this day,"
"Ob, Mr. North," says Kirkland,
"why did you stop meJ I'd rather bo
idead than stay another night in that
place."
"You'll get It, my lad!" said Gab
bett, when the runaway was brought
back. "Your blessed hlde'H feel for this,
see If It don'tl"
Kirkland only breathed harder, and
looked round for Mr. North; but Mr.
North had gone. The new chaplain was
to arrive that afternoon, and It was In
cumbent on the old one to bo present at
the reception.
Troke reported tho ex-bank clerk that
night to Burgess, and Burgess, who was
about to go to dinner with the now chap
lalu, disposed of his case out of hand.
"Tried to bolt, eh! Must stop that
Fifty lashes, Troke. Pick out some
likely man, will you. That last fellow
you had ought to havo been tied up
yourself. His flogging wouldn't have
killed a flea."
"You can't get 'em to warm ono an
other, your honor," says Troke. "They
ttvon't do It"
"Oh, yea, tboy -will, though," says
JJurgess, "or I'M know the reason why.
I won't have my men knocked up with
flogging these rascals. If the scourger
won't do his duty, tie him up and give
hlra flvo-and-twinty for himself. I'll be
down la the morning myself, if I can,"
"Xtj good, your honor," says Troke.
Kirkland was put Into a soparato cell
that night; and Troke, by way of as
surlng him a good night's rest, told him
that he was to havo "fifty" In th
morning. "And Dawcs'll lay It on," ho
added. "He's ono of tho smartest men
I'vo got nnd ho vron't sparo yer."
"You will find this a torrlblo placo
Air. .ueeiun, said .North to his sup-
planter, as they walked across to tho
commandant's to dinner. "It has mndo
me heart sick."
"I thought It was n little paradlso,'
said Meekin. "Captain Frero says that
tho scenery is delightful."
The dinner went oil successfully,
Burgess desirous, perhaps, of favora
bly Impressing the chaplain whom th
bishop delighted to honor was urbane
enough. "You'll find us rough, Mr
aieeKin, he said, "but you'll Ilnd us
'all there' when we're wanted. This
Is a little kingdom in Itself. Pray help
yourself to wine."
"Thank you, none," said North, fill
Ing a tumbler with water. "I havo
headache."
His manner of speech and action was
so awkward that a silence fell upon
the party, caused by each one wonder
ing why Mr. North should grow con
fused, and drum his fingers on the ta
ble, and stare everywhere but at tho de
canter. Meekin was the first to speak
"Have you many visitors, Captain Bur
gess?"
"Very few. Sometimes a party comes
over with a recommendation from the
governor, and I show them over the
place; but as a rule, we see no one
but ourselves."
"I asked," said Meekin, "becauso
some friends of mine were thinking of
coming. Do you know Captain Frero?
"Frere! I should say so!" returned
Burgess. "I was quartered with him
at Sarah Island. So he's a friend of
yours, eh?"
"I had the pleasure of meeting him
In society. He Is just married, you
know. To Miss Vlckers, a charming
young person. They are going to Syd
ney, where Captain Frero has some
Interest and Frere thinks of taking Port
Arthur on his way down.
"A strange fancy for a honeymoon
trip," said North.
"Captain Frere takes a deep inter
est in all relating to convict discipline,
went on Meekin, "and is anxious that
Mrs. Frere should see this place. A
romantic story, Captain Burgess. Ho
Saved her life, you know."
"Ah! that was a queer thing, that
mutiny," said Burgess. "We've got the
fellows here, you know."
"I saw them tried at Hobart Town,"
said Meekin. "In fact, the ringleader,
John Rex, gave me his confession, and
I sent it to the bishop. Captain Frere
tried to make me think his letters con'
tained a hidden meaning, but I don't
believe they did. He seems to mo to
be truly penitent for his offenses a
misguided but not a hypocritical man,
if my knowledge of human nature goes
for anything."
"I hope he Is," said North. "I
woulln't trust him."
"Oh, there's no fear of him," said
Burgess, cheerily; "If he grows uproarl
ous, we'll soon give him a touch of the
cat."
Here attention was called by thj
strange behavior of Mr. Isorth. He had
risen and, without apology, flung wide
the window, as though he gasped for
air. "Hallo, North! What's the mat
ter?"
"Nothing," said North, recovering
himself with an effort "A spasm. I
have these attacks at times."
"Have some brandy?." said Burgess.
"No, no, it will pass. No, I say,
Well, if you Insist." And seizing tho
tumbler offered to him, he half filled It
with raw spirits and swallowed the fiery
draught at agulp. The Reverend Mee
kin eyed his clerical brother with hor
ror.
"Ha!" said North, looking wildly
round upon them. "That s better."
So they went on to the veranda, and
looked down upon the lights of tho
prison, and listened to the sen lapping
the shore. Tho Rev. Mr. North, In this
cool atmosphere, seemed to recover him-
self, and conversation progressed with
some sprlghtliness.
By and by a short figure came up out
of the dark, and proved to bo Doctor
Macklewaln, who had been prevented
from attending tho dinner by reason of
an accident to a constable at Norfolk
Bay, which had claimed his professional
attention.
"Well, how's Forrest?" cried Bur
gess. "Mr, Meekin Dr. Macklewaln."
"Dead," said Macklewaln. "Delight
ed to soo you, Mr. Meekin."
"Confound It another of my best
men," grumbled Burgess. Macklowaln
-was tired and wanted to get home.
"I must also be thinking of repose,"
said Meekin; "the journey, though most
enjoyable, has fatigued me,
"Como on, then," said North. "Our
roads Ho together, doctor."
Beforo tho two clergymen had got
half way down the steep path that led
from the commandant's house to the
flat on which the cottages of tho doctor
and chaplain were built, Macklewaln re
joined them. "Another flogging to-morrow,"
said ho, grumbllngly. "Up at
daylight, I suppose, again."
"Whom Is ho going to flag now?"
"That young butler-fellow of his."
"What, Kirkland? You don't mean
to say he's going to flog Kirkland? Oh,
this must be stopped!" cries North, in
great alarm. "He can't stand It I
tell you he'll die, Macklewaln."
Captain Burgess was shutting his ve
randa window when North hurried up.
"Captain Burgess, Macklewaln tells mo
you are going to flog young Kirkland.
I have come to beg you not to do so, sir.
The lad has been cruelly punished al
ready, He attempted sulcido to-day-
unhappy creature!"
"Well, that's Just what I'm flogging
him for. I'll teach my prisoners to at
tempt suicide!"
"Captain Burgess," protested North.
"I assure you that he does not deservo
punishment I hare seen him, and his
condition of mind Is pitiable"
"Look hero, Mr. North, I don't Inter
fero with what, you do to tho prisoners'
souls; don't you interfcro with whnt I
do to their bodies."
"Then, Captain Burgess," cried
North, his pale face flushing, "I toll you
tho boy's blood, will bo on .your hoad. I
am a minister of God, sir, nnd I forbid
you to commit this crime."
"You're a dismissed olllcer of tho gov
ernment, sir. You'vo no authority hero
In any way; and if you Interfcro with
my discipline, sir, I'll havo you put In
irons until you'ro shippod out of tho isi
audi"
This, of course, was moro bravado on
tho part of tho commandant. North
know well that ho would nover dare to
attempt any such violence, but tho In
suit stung him like tho cut of a whip,
Ho made a strldo toward tho command
ant, as though to sclzo him by th
throat, but chocking himself In time,
stood still, with clinched hands, flashing
eyes and beard that bristled.
North returned homo In great nglta
tlon. Twice ho paused on his way to
the sitting room, and twice was ho driv
en on by a power strongor than his will
Ho reached It at length, and opening
tho cupbourd, pulled out what ho sought
a bottle of brandy.
With this In his hand, all moderation
vanished. Ho raised It to his lips and
eagerly drank. Then, ashamed of what
he had done, ho thrust tho bottlo back,
and made for his room. - Ho wept, ho
prayed, ho fought with his desiro as
with a madnes. IIo told himself that
another's life depended on his exertions
that to give way to his fatal passion
was unworthy of an educated man and
a reasoning being. In vain. In tho
midst of his nrgumonts ho found him
self at tho cupboard, with the bottl
at his lips, In an attitude that was nt
once ludicrous and horrible.
His disease was a t-jrrlljlu ono. Th
Rev. James North--gJiitloman, Pchulu
and Christian nrleat wns what tho
world calls "a coufinnol drunkard."
CHAPTER XXII. '
The morning sun, bright nnd fierce,
looked down upon a curious sight. In a
stone yard was a little group of persons
1'roke, Burgess, Macklewaln, Kirk
land and Rufus Dawes.
Three wooden staves, seven feet high
were fastened together in the form of a
triangle. The structuro looked not tin
liko that made by gypsies to boll their
kettles. To this structuro Kirkland wns
bound, nis feet wero fastened with
thongs to the base of the triangle; his
wrists, bound above his head, nt tho
apex, nis body was then extended to
its fullest length, and his whito back
shone In the sunlight. During his tying'
up ho had said nothing.
"Now, prisoner," said Troke to Dawes,
"do your duty."
Rufus Dawes looked from tho threo
stern faces to Klrkland's -white back.
and his face grow nurnle. In all his
experience he had never been asked to
flog before. He had been flogged often
enough, no picked up tho heavy cat,
and drew its knotted lashes between his
fingers.
"Go on, Dawes," whispered Kirkland
without turning his head. "You are no
more than another man."
Rufus Dawes lifted the cat, swung It
round his head, and brought Its knotted
cords down. The white back was In
stantly striped with six crimson bara
Kirkland stifled a cry. It seemed U
him that he had been cut in half.
"Now, then, you scoundrel," roared
Burgess; "separate your cats! What
do you mean by flogging a man that
fashion?"
Rufns Dawes drew his crooked fin
gers through the entangled cords and
struck again. This time the blow was
more effective, and the blood beaded on
the skin. The boy did not cry; but
Macklewaln saw his hands clutch tho
staves tightly, and tho muscles of his
naked arms quiver.
The third blow sounded as though It
had been struck upon a piece of raw
beef, and the crimson turned purple. Tho
flogging proceeded In silence for ten
strokes, nnd then Kirkland gave
screech like a wounded horse.
"Oh! Captain Burgess! Dawes!
Mr. Troke! Oh! oh! Mercy! Oh, doc
tor! Mr. North! Oh! oh! oh!"
The lad's back, swollen Into a hump,
now presented tho appearance of a rlpo
peach -which a willful child has scorfd
with a pin. Dawes turning away from
his bloody handiwork, drew tho cats
through his lingers twlco. They wero
beginning to get clogged a little.
"Go on, said Burgess, with a nod.
