CHAPTER L
The wagon had come to rest anion'g
the trees' an hour or 'two befere sunset.
It was a covered -in dray, and had
been brought to in a little dealing of
the scrubby undergrowth. Two horses
had drawu it ell the way from the
toast. Freed of their harness, they
stood in the lee el a great gum, their
flanks matted with the dust which
had caked with the nin a sweat on
them. The mongrel that had followed
at their heeds lay stretched en the
sward beside them. A red -dappled
sew arid her calf were tethered ta
wheel of the wagon, and. at a little
dtistenee from them were two battered
cratOS cif drooping. and 'drowsy fowls.
On a patch of earth scraped clear of
grass and leaves, the fire threw off
'teens of smoke and the dry, musky
incense of burning eucalyptus and
dcg -wood. It had smouldered; and a
tveman, stooping beside it, was fee&
ing it with branchea af brushwood and
en.onq Heat be broke in her brande or
atraes her knees.
A man was busy in the interior of
the wagon, moving heavy casks and
pieces of furniture. He lifted them
out, piled them on the ground, and
spread a couple at aheepskina over
therm Than he threw a sbe.enskin and
a baenket of black and brown tweed
cm the floor for the night's resting.
It had been climbing the focthills
Ler days, this heavy, old-fashioned ve-
hlede, and the man and the woman had
climbed with it, she driving the cow
and calf,. he giving his attention to
the horses and clearing the track. So
slowly had. it toiled along that at a
little distanze it looked like some
weary, indefatiguable insect creeping
„among the trees. The horees—a sturdy
yoeng sandy -grey mare and a rawe
weedy, weather -worn bay—seemed as
much pant of it as its wooden frame,
ironshod wheel's, and awning of grimy
erideloth.
'They tugged, at their load with dull,
death patience and obstinacy, although
the bay had stumbled rather badly the
-whole way. The man had pet his
shoulder to the wheel, helping- the
horses u'p the steep banks ansi long,
dielpery sidings. He had stood tremb-
ling and sweating with them -when
the heavy places in the road were past,
the veins knotted in his swarthy fore-
head, the bare column of his throat
gasping for the mountain air. There
was the same toiling faculty in him
that there was in the horses= an in-
stinct to overcome all difficulties by
exertion of the muscles of his back.
The wagon had creaked g,arrudously
an the long slopes, and stuttered and
groaned up the steep hill sides. It
had forded c,reeks, the horses splash-
ing soberly through them and. sending
the spray into the air en either side.
It had crashed over the undenagowth
that encroadred on the track, an ill -
blazed stoek route abong the trees,
and again and again the man had been
obliged to lmaul aside fallen timber, or
turn it where it lay, and cut away
eaplings,, in order to make a new path.
The wagon was filled with boxes
and bags of food stuffs and pieces of
furniture. Inside it smelt like a gro-
cer's shop; and it had trailed the
mingled odor of meal, corned meat,
hemp, iron, seed wheat, crude oil and
potatoes through the virgin purity of
the forest air. Beneath, its floor, in
wrappings of torn bags, -straw and
hessian, were lathed a wooden plow,
a broarl-bladed shovel, and half a
dozen fanning andI carpentering tools.
The fo-wls, a game rooster, a buff hen
and a speckled pullet—hung in wicker
baskets from 'wooden pegs, at the back.
They and the cow and her calf had
wakened strange e,chces in the forest,
She rooster heralding, every morning
at dawn this advance reuand of civil-
ization.

"() Lord " e said, "we thank Thea
foa. having brought us in safety to Our
new home, We thank Thee for having
beonght as oven the sea, through the
storms and the troubles on the ship
when there was nothing to eat but
weevily biscuits, and the water stank,
and there was like to be inntinywith
the men in the elmated gang's. We—
we thank Thee, this woman and 1.
She is a good woman for a man to
have with him when he goes to tint
e'nds of the earth to -carve out a name
and aplace for himself."
paused thoughtfully foe a' rlict,
merit; and then went on: -
..e,
, When the vehicle had reached the
' summit ofthe- foothille, the track fell
waveringinto the green depths of the
forest behind it, a wale of broken
ferns, slain saplings, blue gums and
myrtles, mown down as with a scythe
by its wheels. rhe timbered hills fell
away, wave trim wa#e-, into the mists
of the diatence, aud the plains stretch-
ed' outward from them to the faintly
glittering- line the sea made on the
dim beldam. Somewhere ta the west
on those grey plaiims against the shore
of an inlet, was the township of Pert
Southern from which they had come.
Donald Cameron, after studying a
roughly -made plan and the -wall of
the forest about him, had taken the
mare by her sandy forelock and turn-
ed the wagon in among the trees an
the far side of a giant gum, blazed
with a erosseon which the congealing
sap had dried like blood. Steering a
'north-westerly coaxse, the wagon had
tacked among the treee and come to
the clearing,
And now that all preparations for
the night were made, he toak the ani -
mads to the creek for water. It ran at
the foot of the long, low hillside and
could be heard crooning and gurgling
under the leafy murmur of the forest.
Leaving the fire, the woman went to
a fallen trunk, sat down and ga.zedinto
the shadows gathering among the
trees. A rosy andsaffron mist hung
between their thronging bales. TlIae
peaco of the after -glow held the hills,
the 'chiming of insects and the shrill
sweet calling of birds hasi quivered
inte silence. Only a leafy whispering
stirred the quiet.
For a moment the fire af her clear
spirit burn law. Hope an,d courage
were lest in dreams. There was wist-
fulness in her grey eyes as they went
out before her, wistfulness and heart-
ache. She seemed to be reading the
serail of the future, seeing a dim,
mysterious tinroiling of jays and vol. -
rows with the eyes of her inner vision.
The sun had set when Cameron re-
turned. He- tetherefl the cow to the
wheel of the wagon a-nd clamped
rusty hobbles about the horses' fet-
locks. Then he looked towards the
"Mary''!" he called. "
She did, net hear, and he walked
towards hear.
A man of few- w-ords.'Cameron did
net speak as he searched his wife's
face.
"I—I was dreaming," she said, look-
ing- up, sta-rtled at the sight of him.
"You're not grieving?" he asked.
There was a'. tremor in his voice,
though its roughness almost covered
that.
"No, not grieving," she said. "But
thinking what it will be to -us and
our children, by and by, in this -place.
It is a new country and a new people
we're making, they saidi at home, and
I'm realizing what they meant nOw.."
"Aye. But its a fine co-un,try!" "
Cameron's eyes travelled the length
of the clearing, over the slope of the
hill. They took in the silent world of
the trees, the rosy mist that still glow-
ed between their slender, thronging
stems. There was pride and an ex-
pres'sien of sated hunger in his glance.
"It's all auass, this land about here,"
he said.
Her eyes wandered too.
"I have worked all my cla.ys, till
now," he said, reviving a bitter mem-
ory, "without so much as a plot of
sour earth as big as y're handker-
chief to call my own. Worked for
other men, sweated the body and soul
Oat of me . 1 . and new, this is mine
. . all this c . .. hundred ' acres . . .
a.rid more when I'm ready fax it, 1110T9',
and more, and more. . . ."
He paused a moinenI, all the emo-
tion in him stirred and surging. Then;
with a 'short -drawn breath that dis-
missed the past and dedicated thought
and energy to the future, he went on:
I Marked this place when I came
through to the Port with Middleton's
cattle, last year. I'll run cattle—but
I want to clear and -cultivate, too. Up
there where there are trees now wiN
be plowed fields and an orchaed soon.
The house and barns '11 be on the
brovr of the hill. By and by . . . we
shald have a name and a place in the
country."
His wife's eyes were on his face. He
had spoken an though he were taking
an oath. •
"No doubt it will be as you say,
Donald," she said,, with a faint sigh.
"But itis a strange lonely lane, in-
deed, withotit tthe sight of a roof
all the long miles we have come by.
Never the sound of a human voice-, or
the lowing of cattle,"
Donald Cameron did not reply. He
was envisaging his schemes for the
future. Not a man given to dreams,
the thoughtful mood had taken him;
his breath came ancl went in steady
chatights. His face was .set to the
ramild cf hi's musing; -there was -de-
termination in every line of it, A
gloomy face it -was, rough -cast, with
deep set eycs,.
His Wife's words and the sigh that
went with them were repeated in a
remote brain cell.
"You should be giving thanks, not
complaining," he said, bie gaze re-
turning to her. "We must do that now
—give thanbs for the journey dcconm
plished."
"I have said all that before; but
have been thinking that it would da
no harm to say it again now that we
are ready to begin the new life, and
will need all Thy help," and protection,
Lord. We thank Tbee Itor having
brou,ght us all the miles from the

The Dainty Girl's Charm List.
She is not art all the girl with the
per -feet features, dreamy eyes, long
glossy lashes, -Cupid's bow mouth—
you know the girl we all like to dream
about and' wish we might be. '
She is the elegy c c. all the girls., they
-copy her style an 1 her mode of hair -
dress, they 111/1 to her fax ideas ,and
the boyal—well, they are simply
barified by her indescribable charm.
This giri of whom we are talking,
knows sarnething of the secret of
personal daintiness and has ‚attained
,a degree ef artistry in. appearing
lovely.
Her careful toilet for the day really
begins the evening before. Ranging by
her dreesing table, in plain sight, is
her Charm List and what a gay time
she does have checking off each item.
Fast there,is a thorough scrubbing
oaf teeth, and the prescribed twenty
strokes isa. brushing the hair. (They
tell us that girls in. "the 60's" made it
1011 stroke -s!) Next, a nice awarm bath
with a delicately perfumed bath soap
which is refreshing and such a joy!
After the bath, a sprinkling of talcum
an shoulders, neek and arms. This
gives y.011 Such a velvetY comfortable
feeling and,then you are all ready fax
the fresh sweet nightie and to cuddle
down (like a contented kittne by the
fire fax a refreshing slumber af at
least eight hour.
Each, garment fax the marrow is all
arranged, buttons, hooks and eyes On,
necessary mending done and every-
thing nice and clean. No wonder she
'sleeps a "beauty sleep?"
Our Dainty Girl revels, onee a.week,
in a sudsy Ceremony that calls for a
washbowl of beautiful frothy suds into
-which go her frilliest bits a under-
wear, dainty collars and cuffs, sheer
blouses 'and dre.sses, arid best stock-
ings. -
She also 'has diseov-ered that her
stacking bill is re-dueed almost in pro-
portion to the frequency of the.wash-
ings, so after each ahy's wear, they
are treated to a dip in suds or clear
-warm water. The voice of thrift pre-
vails _even when they are brand new
and it is such a temptation to put
them on in ap their freshness from
the box for:their first wear. They last
longer'etoo, iatroduced to the waah
bowl before their first wear.
On d'o'wn the list is the weekly rnani-
c-urre when her nails are filed,. cuticle
removed and the buffer gives just -the
mere suggestion of a shine.
Very important is the matter of
removal of all perspiratian odar, which
sornetrinies persists in spite of perfect
cleandiness. A 'special toilet prepara-
tiori, used about once' a week after the
bath, overcomes this difficulty.
And you should see the Tdainfy
Girl's tiny little brush, much snialler
than a tooth brush, which she uses just
fax her eyebrows, for she knows that
her eyebrows must be brushed quite
as rdigiously as her hair.
And the matter of perfumery? one
of the newest ideas is to select one's
fragran,ce according to one's type.
Who could think of the quaint girl
who suggests hoop skirts and -bro-
cades, dvi,tlhout thinking of the frag-
rance of lav -ender buds?' The retiring,
shy 'girl chooses the scent of the "mod-
est" violet. Surely many types of
girls may .use the fra,grance of the
rose. The Damty Girl gathers the
petals in rose Season, carefully dries
them and fills attractive bags for her
dressing -table drawers arid shirt -waist
box.
I-lere is her Charriel,ist:
Evening beautifierse--Brash teeth;
brush hair (twenty' • strokes);
teeth; bniab hair (twen,ty, strokes);
warm bath; thorough rib dawn; a
spain,kle of tale -urn; a fresh nightie;
apply cold 'cream when needed; apply
hand lotion, 'garments ready fax to-
morrow; completerelaxa ti on (at least
eight hours', sleep),
Morning, toilet --Receecisci before
open, window; ,bruelt toct'n; drink glass
of water; wash harale; 'press back
cuticle of raile, eold -tv-ter
an face; dash of prav.le'r en nose ti
en,
remove shine; brush eyebrows; dress
hair becomingly.
Once -a -week aids to loveliness—
Manicure nails; clear skin -with cold
cream; washbowl kuunday, special
care of feet; weekly mending.
Every two weeks—Shampoo hair.
A Progressive Party.
If you wonld have a pleasant and
ecantornical variation freni the usual
kind of summer party and woulsi give
a "sociable" that all of your friend's --
the girls who are in business as well
as those, who are keeping house ---Will
enjoy, join with two of your friends
and send out an invitation something
like this: --
You are invited to take part ha a.n
stirnmer frolic on Saturday,

Wear tramping clothes.
Of nurse you will decide with your
friends mho of you will ditertain nt
breakfast 'and who at the other two
meals, and will write those n'arnes in
the invitation. In planning for the
food do not attempt elaborate menus.
I-la-ve simple, -Wlioleathne dishes and
see'tbait the thiel7ineade are weld bal-
anced—that they make up an appetiz-
ing and nutritious - Use as little
china as possible. Paper .cups and
dishes,' and paper napkins, of course,
will simplify the cleaning up".
The chief charm about breakfast
will lie in getting abroad in the fresh,
early morning air an,c1 inenakirig that
usually hurried meal an oceasion fax
social pleasure. Serve the meal in-
formally. The best .plan is to set
everything, on one- big table and let
everyone help herself. 'AfterwardS,
when those who have work to do have
gone to it, round up the others and
t,alre them for a tramp in the *erode
and fields to gather flowers, grasses
and foliage until it is time to go to
the home of the friend who Will serve
luncheon-.
Use some of yoUr flowers and leaves
to decerate the lunelfecin tables (sev-
eral small tables Will make a pleasant
change from'a large one) "and put the
rest in water until the afternoon.
Then take the company out of, doors
arid let them work, the blosoems and
the'foliage into baskets, tokens and
bouquets to be used for dimier favors.
If passible, serve dinner out of
doors. It should be a mare srdbstarg

one will have time to 'enjoy it faddy
and at leisure.
Close the day -With oldafashioned
games, feats and forfeits, story -telling
and singing. s, ;

A Summer Dish_
The most popular dish of the sum-
mer—ice careann--wthen flavored with
raisins, is not only a ceding confection,
but one that helps to take away the
listlessness caused by warm weather.
The cooling qualities of ice erearn'are
but a temporary relief, it is pointed
out; aombined with the delicious flavor
of raisins it is t-rudy a delightful,
healthful dish. '
The 'sugar in raisins is isa pr.acti-
caddy predigestexl Term, and is t-urnecl
into energy almost immediately. This
revitalizing quality of the raisin
makes `this fruit -food a been to vrann
