, N,everth.eless, the thing worked
out in the same way. Donald Cam-
eron was more their enemy than
out to evil -deers from the new pollee
head -quarters, by genially brawling
with most of his neighbars at M•cNab's
at soon as he arrived, very success-
fully intimating that he was far too
longegrigh,ted easy-going and convivial
a soul to interfere with the Wiri-eee
little way of doing things.
Donald Cameron was well known in
Wirreeford when it began to be a
cattle market of importance. So was
Davey—Young Davey—as he was
called when he began to go reatlarly
to the sales iri the years that followedb
the fires.
Cameron worked ea. day in the sale -
yards with his men. He drove in his
own beasts in the morning, threw off
Ms coat for the draftin,g and, when
the sales were over, went out of the
township, a stolid, stooping figure, on
his heavy bay cob. Although he some -
tunes made close on a thousand
pounds on a day's salesehe went out
of the town,ship, as often as not, with
out spending a, penn.y.
It was said that he was the wealth-
iest man in the cauntryside, and as
"meat •as they make 'em." Yet has
disinclination to spend money was
made subservient to his sense ef jus-
tice; and a spirit of matter-of-fact
integrity that he earried round with
bini made the Wirree people regard
him with suispicaous awe, The iron
quality of his will, the hard,, straight
gaze of his eyes, ware difficult things
for men with uneasy tonseience,s to
encounter. Because he was the first
man in the 'country, it was reckoned
a matter of prestige to have the
patronag,e o wield Cem,eron of yr- on mere

-with pasts that would, not bear looking
into thought they were all right, Al-
thou,g4h there were rumors of treach-
erous dealings on his part, with ehilde
like simplieety, with the faith of the
desperate, they trusted McNab, be-
lieving that he stood between them
and the prisons of Port Arthur. They
believed that if they were "in with
Thad," they need not wake, sweating,
out of their sleep at the thought of
the "eat," or worry if, forgetful of
consequences, they gave that tell-tale
start at the clank and rattle of irons.
It 'w'as pretty well undereboted that
Thad McNab and Sergeant M'Laugh-
lin "worked" together. Thad, had been
hand -in -glove with him since he came
to the Wirree River. The fact some-
times stood unruly spirits in good
stead when there was a merry night
at the Black Bull. But when there
was an inconvenient accident over the
.cards 'once tveice, and. when there
was a hold-up on the Rene road just
outside the township, tad, was con-
ceded that X'Laughltin had earned his
screw. Thad saw to it that occa'sion-
ally he madeean appearance of doing
his duty. If it had been imagined at
head -quarters that Sergeant IVI'Laugh-
lin winked at irregularities in the ap-
plication of the law at Wirreeford, he
might have been moved on, and that
would not have suited the landlord of
the Black Bull, who would then have
had another man to deal with, or have
found that another man was dealing
with ham.
