CHAPTER XXtV.-Contlnucd.
Between Englchnwk ami Slennl Hill
wore, for tho nbscotnlors, other dangers.
Along tho Indented const of Port Huncho
wero constables' stntions, and to avoid
them It would be necessary to make a
circuit Into the scrub. Unwilling as ho
was to loso time, John Ilex saw that to
attempt to ruu the gauntly of these
four stations would be destruction. He
ranged his men in single file; and, quit
ting the road near Norfolk Hay, made
ntralght for tho Neck. After nearly two
hours of painful progress, Jemmy etch
stopped and whispered them to approach.
They were on a saudy rise. To tho left
was a black object a constable's hut-
to the right was a dim white line the
ocean: in front was a row of lamps
nnd between every two lamps leaped
end ran a dusky, indistinct body. Jem
lny Vetch pointed .with his lean fore
finger.
"The dogs!"
Instinctively they crouch down, lest
even at that distance the two sentries,
so plainly visible in the red light of the
guard house fire, should see them.
"Well," said Gabbett, "what's to be
dono now?"
As he spoke, a long, low howl broke
from one of tho chained hounds, and the
whole kennel burst Into hideous outcry.
John Hex, who perhaps was the brav
est of the party, shuddered. "They have
Bmelled us," ho said. "We must go
on. Make for the right-hand side of
the jetty. I think I sec a boat there. It
Is our only chance now. We can never
break through the station. Are we
ready?' Now! All together."
Gabbett was fast outstripping the oth
ers by some three feet of distance.
Thero were eleven dogs, two of which
were placed on stages set out In the
water, and they wero so chained that
their muzzles nearly touched. The giant
leaped into the line, and with a blow of
his ax split the skull of the beast on his
right. This action unluckily took him
within reach of the other dog, which
seized him by the thigh.
"Fire!" cried McXab, from the other
side of the lamps.
The giant uttered a cry of rage and
pain, and fell with the dog under him.
It was, however, the dog that had pulled
him down, and the musket ball intended
for him struck Travers in the jaw. The
unhappy villain fell.
Gabbett clutched the mastiffs throat
with iron hand, and forced him to loose
his hold; then bellowing with fury, seiz
ed his ax. and sprang forward, mangled
ns ho was, upon the nearest soldier.
Jemmy Vetch had been beforehand with
him. Uttering a low snarl of hate, he
fired, and shot the sentry through the
l)reast The others rushed through the
now broken cordon and made headlong
for tho boat.
"Fools!" cried Rex, behind them. "Ton
have wasted a shot! Look to your left!"
Burgess hurried down the tram-road
by his men, had tarried at Signal Hill
only long enough to loose the surprised
guard from their bonds, and taking the
Woody Island boat, was pulling with a
fresh crew to the Neck. The re-enforcement
was not ten yards from the Jetty.
The Crow saw the danger, and, flinging
himself Into the water, desperately seiz
ed McNab's boat.
"In with you for your lives!" he cried.
Another volley from the guard spat
tered the water around the fugitives, but
in the darkness the ill-aimed bullets fell
harmless. Gabbett swung himself over
the sheets and seized an oar.
"Cox, Bodenham, Greenhill! Now,
push her off! Jump, Tom, jump!" and
as Burgess leaped to land, Cornelius was
dragged over the stern, and the whale
boat floated into deep water. McXab,
fleeing this', ran down to the water side
to aid the commandant.
"Lift her over tho bar, men!" he
ehouted. "With a will so!" And, rais
ed in twelve strong arms, the pursuing
craft slid across the isthmus.
Then, for the first time, the six pris
oners, fairly in the net again, became
aware that John Rex was not among
them.
At 8 o'clock the next morning the
Pretty Mary stood out to sea with ev
ery stitch of canvas set alow and aloft.
The skipper's fishing had come to an
end. He had caught a shipwrecked sea
man, who had been brought on board at
daylight and was then at breakfast in
the cabin. Tho crew winked at each
other when the haggard mariner, attired
in garments that seemed remarkably
well preserved, mounted the side. But
they, none of them, were in a position to
controvert the skipper's statement.
"Where are we bound for?" asked
John Rex. "I'm entirety In your hands,
my worthy Blunt."
"My orders are to cruise about tho
whaling grounds until I meet my con
sort," returned Blunt, "and put you
aboard her. She'll take you back to
Sydney. I'm victualed for a twelve
month's trip."
"Right!" cried Rex, clapping bis pre
server on the back. "I'm bound to get
to Sydney somehow; but, as the Philis
tines are abroad, I may as well tarry in
Jericho till my beard be grown. Don't
etare at my scriptural quotation," he
added, Inspirited by creature comforts,
and secure amidst his purchased friends.
"I assure you that I've had the very
Lest religious Instruction. Indeed, It Is
chiefly owing to my worthy spiritual
pastor and master that I am enabled
to smoke this very villainous tobacco of
yours at the present moment."
CHAPTER XXV.
The lost son of Sir Richard Devine
had returned to England and made
claim to bis name and fortune. In other
words, John 'Rex had successfully car
ried out the scheme by which he had
usurped the rights of his old convict
comrade.
John Rex often wondered at the
strange ease with which he had carried
out so monstrous and seemingly difficult
n Imposture. After be was landed in
Sydney by the vessel which Sarah Pur
foy had sent to, save him, be found him
self a slsv to a bondage scarcely lass
falling; than that from whlaa he bad
escaped the bondage of enforced com
panionship with an unloved woman, Tho
opportune death of one of her assigned
servants enabled Sarah Purfoy to In
stall tho escaped convict In his room. In
the strange state of socloty which pre
vailed of necessity in New South Wales
at that period, it was not unusual for
assigned servants to marry among tho
free settlers, nnd when It was hoard
that Mrs. Purfoy, the widow of a whal
ing captain, had married John Carr, her
storekeeper, transported for embezzle
ment, nnd with two years of his sen
tence yet to run, no one expressed sur
prise. Indeed, when, the year after,
John Carr blossomed as an "explreo,"
master of a fine wife and a lino fortune,
there wero many about him who would
have made his existence In Australia
pleasant enough. But John Rex had no
notion of remaining longer than he could
help, and ceaselessly sought means of
escape from his second prison house. For
a long thno his search was unsuccess
ful. Much ns she loved the scoundrel,
Sarah Turfoy did not scruplo to tell him
that she had bought him, nnd regarded
him ns her property. He knew that If
ho made nny attempt to escape from his
niarriago bonds, tho woman who had
risked so much to save him would not
hesitate to deliver him over to the au
thorities. "I know you don't care for me now,
John, ' she said, with grim complacen
cy; "but your life Is in my bands, and
if you desert me I will firing v
gallows."
In vain, in his secret eagerness to bo
rid of her, he raged and chafed. He
was tied hand and foot. She held h!
money, and her shrewd wit had moro
than doubled it. She was nil-powerful,
and he could but v?nt until Iia
or some lucky accident should rid him
01 ner, ana leave Mm freo to follow out
the Bcheme he hail nmhir.i
of her, ' he thought. In his solitary rides
we. uiu station ot which he was tho
nominal owner, "the rest is easy. I, shall
return to Enclnml with
of shipwreck, and shall doubtless be re-
cciveu with open arms by the dear
mother from whom I hnvo
- - T " "-vi ou lung
parted. Richard Devine shall have his
own again."
One day the chn
His wife was III. and the ungrateful
scoundrel stole five hundred pounds,
ami, taking two horses, reached Sydney,
and obtained nassaire In n ri i,,,.i
for Rio.
Having escaped from thr.iIMn
Rex proceeded to Dlnv for tho t,rit
stake of his life with the utmost caution.
J.his was the tale ho hit upon: He had
been saved from the burning Hydaspes
by a vessel bound for Rio. Ignorant of
the death of Sir Richnrd, and prompted
by the pride which was known to be a
leading feature of his oha mr-rnr. tin liml
determined not to return, until fortune
snouia nave bestowed upon him wealth
at least equal to the Inheritance from
which he had been ousted. In Snnnt.h
America he had striven to accumulate
that wealth In vain. As traveler, specu
lator, sailor, he had toiled fnr fnnrtonn
years, and had failed. Worn out nnd
penitent, ne had returned homo to find a
corner of English earth in which to lay
his weary bones. The tala wn nlnn.ii.io
enough, and in the telling of it he was
armed at an points. There was little
fear that the navizator of tho Kantimni
Osprey, the man who had lived in Chill,
ana cut out" cattle on the Carrum
Plains, would nrovn larktne- In tnntri.
edge of riding, seamanship, or Spanish
customs. Moreover, he had determined
upon a course of act on whh-h i.nwiV
his knowledge of human nature.
The will under which Riehnnl TWln
inherited had been made wlion th
tator was in the first hopeful glow of
paternity. By Its terms Lady Devine
was to receive a life interest of threo
thousand a year In her husband's prop
erty which was Dlaced In thn Immia f
two trustees until her eldest son died,
or attained the age of twenty-five years.
When either of these events should oc
cur, the property was to bo realized,
Lady Devine receiving a sum of a hun
dred thousand pounds, the remainder go
ing absolutely to the son, if living. The
trustees appointed were Lady Devine's
lather, Col. Wotton Wade, and Mr. Si
las Kuaid, Sir Richard's solicitor. Col.
Wade, before his death, had appointed
his own son, Mr. Francis Wade, to act
In his stead. When Mr. Qiiaid dlod
Francis Wade continued nlnnn In l.lu
... 1 1 f i
trust. Sir Richard's sister and h.er hus
band, Anthony frere, of Bristol, were
long ago dead, and their representative,
Maurice Frere, content nt last in the
lot that fortune had sent him, had given
up all thought of meddling with his un-1
Mo'h linsinesii. John Iter thnrnfr. (n
the person of tho returned Richard, had
but two persons to satisfy Mr. Fran
cis waue ana Laay uevtue.
This he found to bo the easiest task
possible. Francis Wade was an invalid
virtuoso, who detested business, and
whose ambition was to be known as a
man of taste. Tho possessor of a small
Independent income, he had resided at
North End over since his father s death.
When, at his sister's urgent wish, he
assumed the sole responsibility of the
estate, he put all the floating capital
Into threo per cents, and was content to
see the Interest accumulate. Lady De
vine had never recovered the shock of
th circumstances attending Sir Richard's
death, and clinging to the belief in her
son's existence, regarded herself as the
mere guardian of his interests, to be
displaced at any moment by his sudden
return. The retired pair lived thus to
gether, and spent In charity and bric-a-brac
about a fourth of their mutual in
come. By both of tbem the return of
the wanderer, was hailed with delight.
To Lady Devine it meant tho realization
of a lifelong hope. To Francis Wade it
meant relief from the responsibility of
looking after another person's ni'ouoy.
"I shall not think of interfering with
the arrangements which you hare made,
my dear uncle, said Mr. John Hex, on
the first night of his reception. "It
would be most ungrateful of me to do so,
Mr wants are very few, and can tasUy
bo supplied. I will oo your lawyers
some day, and settle It.
"See thorn nt once, Ulchnrd; sec them
nt once. I nut no man of business, you
know, but I think you will find nil
right." , , u
Richard, however, put off tho visit
from day to day. Ho desired to hnvo ns
little to dg with lawyers ns possible.
Ho had resolved upon Ids course of ac
tion. Ho would get money from nli
mother for immediate needs, nnd when
thnt mother died he would nsscrt his
rights. "My rough lifo hns unfitted me
for drawing rooms, dear mother," ho
snld. "Do not let thero be n display
about my return. Give mo a corner to
smoke my pipe nnd I am hnppy." Lady
Devine, with a loving, tender pity, for
which John Rex could not altogether
nccount. consented, nnd "Mr. Richard'
soon came to be regarded ns a martyr
to circumstance's, a man conscious of his
own Imperfections, and one whoso Imper
fections wero, therefore, to bo lightly
dwelt upon. So the returned prodlgnl
had his own suite of rooms, his own
servants, his own bank account, and was
merry.
Thus taken upon trust, Mr. Richnrd
Devlno mixed in the very best of bad so
ciety, and had no lack of agreeable
friends to help him to spend his money.
So admirably did ho spend It, that Fran
cis Wado became at last alarmed at the
frequent drafts, and urged his nephew to
bring his affairs to a final settlement.
Richard Dovlne in Paris, or Hamburg,
or London, or elsewhere could never bo
got to attack business, nnd Mr. Francis
Wade grow more and more anxious. The
poor gentleman positively became HI
through the anxiety consequent upon his
nephew's dissipations. "1 wish, my dear
Richard, that you would let me know
what to do," he wrote. "I wish, my
dear uncle, that you would do what you
think best." wns tho uephow's reply.
Mr. Wndo began to repent of his too
easy taking of matters In the beginning.
Not that ho had n suspicion of Rex, but
that ho remembered that Dick was nl
ways a loose fish. Ho grew pale and
hollow eyed. Ills digestion was Impair
ed. Ho ceased to take tho Interest in
china which tho Importance of that arti
cle demanded. In a word, he grow de
spondent as to his fitpess for his mission
In life. Lady Elllnor saw a change In
her brother. She wrote a long letter to
Mr. Richard, who was at Paris, and
begged him to como over at once. Mr.
Richard replied that some horse racing
matter of grcatimportanco occupied his
attention, but thnt he would bo at his
town house on the 14th, and would "go
Into matters." "I have lost a good deal
of money lately, my dear mother," said
Mr. Richard, "and the present will be a
good opportunity to make a final settle
ment." The fact was that John Rex,
now three years in undisturbed posses
sion, considered that the moment had
arrived for the carrying off at one swoop
of the whole of the fortune he had gam
bled for-
"Tho town house of Mr. Richard De
vine was decorated in conformity with
the tastes of Its owner. The pictures
were pictures of horses; tho books were
records of races, or novels purporting
to describe sporting life. Mr. Francis
Wnde, waiting for tho coming of his
nephew, sighed as he thought of the cul
tured quiet of North End House.
Mr. Richard appeared In his dressing
gown. Three years of good living had
deprived his figure of its athletic beauty.
He was past forty years of age. and the
sudden cessation from severe bodily toil
had increased Rex's natural prononess to
fat. and instead of being portly ho had
become gross, nis checks were Inflamed
with the frequent application of hot nnd
rebellious liquors to his blood. His hands
were swollen, and not so steady ns of
yore. His whiskers were streaked with
unhealthy gray. Ills eyes, bright and
black as ever, lurked in a thicket of
crow's feet. He had become premature
ly bald. He spoke with assumed heart
iness, in a boisterous tone of affected
ease.
"Ha, ha! My dear unelp, sit down.
Delighted to see you. Have you break

won't have anything? No then sit

"Thank you. Richard." snld the old
gentleman, a little stiflly, "but I want
some herious talk with you. What do
you intend to do with the property?
This indecision worries me. E!thr re

my advice."
"Well, the fact Is," said Richard, with
a very ugly look on his face, "I am much

that I am thinking of selling every
thing." (To ti mntlnnnd.l
