They 'fought for the privilege of nasing him, and laughed like children when his baby Lips first began to prattle their names in quaint eyllables. Then from the depths of the Nish they brought hi in pets to play with—quaint little rock -wallabies that would run to aim and cuddle into his breaet, and opossums that were soft and furry. to stroke. Curtsy's father, grim old Squat- ter Desmond, could not bring a woman on to that lonely tar -away station to • nurse him, and was glad that the -child should make playmates with the men. He knew. that they all loved him too well to let any harm come to him, and he wanted his boy to grow up manly and self-reliant. And so ev'ery night, when the day's work was done, and the men had gath- ered 'round the fire- to smoke and sing the old bush songs, the little mite would come toddling out of theeraenbling old station house and take his place in the group: His baby fingers welt taught to plait a whipstock, and his tiny hands to throw laeso. Therefore, at six, he had be,come initiated into most of the' mys- teries of the bushman's pea. • Among the songs they taught hiin round the camp -fire was one, the refrain tseol.which ran: "So we caught Roving Dan, • And his cattle -dulling clan, And we swung 'em to an old gum- tree.' ••, This was a great favorite, for Roving Dan was an ()bleed of hatred to every man on the station. Ile was a notorious outlaw, and had a long list of crimes to ate mune. • All his escapades had been marked by a hardened callousness which placed him eanong the worst of his class-. Most of the other bushrangers had some of , the mote roxnantic virtues, which partly redeemed their ,character, but the general verelict about Roving Dan was that "there warn't enough• goted in his • nature t', save the soul bh, a mosquito 1" Between Curly's father and the bush- ranger „there existed a bitter feud„. for • Squatter Desmond liad been. one of the rhoSt untiring • of the •latter's pursuers, and. the outlaw made it known, fpr his part, that it was his Ambition to stick-up and sA fire to the station. • One day Curly was left at home ,by •hiiriSelf. All , the men had -gone. to a muster -many miles away. The day' was • hot, and the pet- wallabies and the opossum' did not feel in the hinnor to play. TheS1' had hopped off to the shade of the lank, and there had gone to sleep on the cool' grass,. ' Curly, however, didnotfeel at all in- clined for sleep, so he brought -his. fat white puny up from the paddock and Sad4led• it. He had been given a little new gun a few days before, and he knew a nice white gum -tree. in the ranges, a mile or two away, that would make a splendid target, so he trotted off /through' the slip rails. Arriving a his journeys end, he slip- ped off his pony and tied it to a tree. • Then be took out his pocket-knife and i ' carved the outline of a men in the bole of a .spotted-guin further up' the gully. S Casting his we fat figure on the grass twenty yards away, he began to shoot. But, strange to say, he missed every time. and he looked at his tiny weapon with, tears of vexation rolling down his cheeks. a Area hen rag, ".:Y1'1 Pq.3 enrI he can e helefele treat° ete eaueht, tleeeno Dan, in O] (-erne-attains An" we en ens lo ,or Sam teeee."

He knew -well that that meant silenee, so he crept away to the kitchen, his little brain reeling with wonder. There three big, fat trooper % were joking and laughing over- a bottle of wine, an a waiting oinsicle, he listened to their talk. He soon gathered from their _conversation that Ins friend was fit danger. Instantly be became attentive and alert. "He's a mighty' game 'tin is Roving Dan," said one, "to make for a station like this single-handed to stick it up. I didn't think he had the pluck 1". "Anyway, it's the last station hal ever have the chance to tackle." • "You're right there, Mate," said the first men. "He'll be swung Up, sure as death, and there won't be a soul in wide.

But the trooper' did not know that just outside the door a little boy Was sobbing his heart out because he knew that elov-: ng Dan wasn't always a Niiicked villain but just a big, ltind mate who. could hoot wonderfully well with a pea -rifle and because this big,' kind Mate had been caught in trying to keep repromise. That night when all the house was 'sleep, a wee white figure in night - lollies crept out along the verandah. Silently he stole teethe kitcben. where a, bunch of jangling keys was hanging on the wall, and, climbing tautiously up, on the table, reached them down from the peg. He was breathing heavily now, in little half -sobs of excitement, bu1 he managed -to get to the barn with- otit making, a noise., - Standing up ori his bare toes he reached the loek, fitting Drie• key after another till the door clicked open. Then he crept over the warm straw to the recuriebent figure in the darkness. ' "Stwanger," he whispered, laying a Soft little hand on his face, "are yeti) 'wake'?" , Roving Dan. half roused from his slumbers, growled angrily : "W,ho is it?" "It's only me—Cully," penteel forth he childish vbiee. , The outlaw gave a start of surprise. "What in the name of all that's holy brought you here, '• sonny ?" he said, tenderly. , ."I've'bwought the keye so that you,can take these frasty chain thiegs off."

She had had many extraordinary experiences an the ,way, having peen at various times. nearly ,sunk by .an ocean liner,efoitled by ten icefloe, and dismantled' ley a blizzard, whiCh left her drifting helpless for five .weeks. • But the strangest incident of all which befell herwas that, while in this help- less condition,. a Norwegian whaler mis- took her fer a whale, and a.ctuelly fired at her with a whale bomb cannon. Na - tiffany, the unatecity crew were 'afraid to go on deck, and remained below un- til the whaler, evidently perceiving her mistake, sheered off and left- her -alone to make repairs. Mention of whales brings to mind the fact that these monsters of, the deep have on several occasions been, respon- sible for delays; or worse, to vessels., Not long ago the .steamship Sierra, ar- riving at San Francisco from Australia, reported that, while off the coast and steaming at sixteen knots, she had struck a: •huge whale, breaking ite back and cutting into it so deeply that the enorm- ous carcase stuck upon her keel.

She rtheri stewed down to see if any damage was done, but found none, and, proceeding on her way, ,steamed for a mile through water ericriznsoned with the blood of her unsuspecting vic- tim. An experience, in its way unparallel- ed, befell the steamer Nord crossing to France on the last night of November,' 1903. In the mid -channel she ran into the° most enormous shoal of herrings ever seen, end ploughed right through them, killing tens of thousands with her paddle wheels.

Besides these there are several larger and more pretentious buildings, includ- ing a big boarding house of forty rooms capable of lodging 200 men, and a shaft house, Stomp mill and reduction works Cal the site of an old arid abandoned ccpper mine. The latter fact, of c,ourse, explains the building and final deser- tion of a village in streal.an outeef-thee way place; and yet the explanation is only a partial one. PgRMANENT STRUCTURES. Ordinarily when men go into the wit- derrilss, in search ,of such mineraa'tim- ber or agricultural wealth as they may find, their places of habitation are mere - 'y temporary structures to be occupied until such time as they may have prov- en the existence of such 'wealth and the ,possibility of its development. But at Poinelfamainse the promoters of the then new cooper mine waited for nothing. They Malt their own town and big stamp rnill .51 the same time they were at work sinking the aaft to the „supposed valuable copper lode be- low the surfece. More than a million dollars were expetided in the develop- rnent and the building of the town whleh was to be a permanent place of resi- dence of hundreds of people. In. fact, at one time, the compan,y,had more than 200 men on its pay rote. WAS AN ENGLISH COMPANY. • According to the stories told, the company that commenced the develop- ment of ,the mine was known as 11 'Quebec, Lake Superior Copper Minfhg ,Company. Most, if not all of the ,mon- ty furnished for the, promotion of the ephoject, was raised, as such things' tare accomplished. now -a -days, by the sale of mining stock. That all of thie mon- ey 'came from England is likely, .and that there were Many sore hearts and blasted hopes in that country when the mine failed to be a producer is a na-• turl conclusjon. • The mine was opened in the early seventies when the excitement incident to the 'discovery and develoPment of "Valuable copper deposits on the opposite shores of Lake Supetior. near Calumet and HOUght011 Wa$ at, its height. The company was reputed toehave un- told "-milliOns behind it. And it must futile had a goodly sum, too, for' the men who came from England to start he mine and built the town lived high nd spent their money lavishly. MINERS NEVER CAME BACK. With the excePtion of a large store building about 40 by 80 feet in size and two storeys' en height, and half a dbzen of the cottages, which have since burn - ad to the ground, all the houses remain standing, denuded of doors and win- dows and open- to enowe and rain of a cold and uncertain climate. It is said 'that when the lest group of disappointed Englishmen left Point Mamainse for their country it, was with, the expeetta lion that within a few months . they would return.to prosecute their search for the mineral and to 'resume their residence in th little town 4 they had built in the foreat. • • he this hope, too, they were disappoint. ed. Whether English capitalises, who, had beep* furnishing the money, Came to the conclusion that they were being made -the victims of a, gang of sharpers or whether their funds were depleted, does not appear, but certain it is that the miners never returned, and the de serted village remains to excite the curi- osity of the' occaeional Visitor. THEN VANDALS CAME,' t As a proof that the miners and villag- ers intended some time to return to Point Mamainse, Itis said that upon their departure •they left their houses furnished, „arid the big coinpany store' stoclaed with goods.
