Scrofula is a most terrible and humiliating disease.

The glands om the left side of my neck began to swall; the pain was torrible. Four of the places wers lanced, but tmstewd of healing, a3 we expoctod, bocamo opon runming sores.

As you may readily suppose, this pur Cavesson, the inspector In question, thor. oughly upon his metal, and after some halr dozen kind friends had taken caro to le him know all about Parllament's decislon he took a solemn oath that, not withous thinking of the difficulties in his way, hs would capture the outlaw and bring him to Justice before his successor should arrive upon the sceno. Accordingly, within a dozen hours of his recetving the news, he was in the saddle acting on certain Information he bad recelved. Geod fortune started with him at all events. He drove the gang into the ranges and boxed them up in & certain gully, effectually cutting off their retreat. He allowed it to be understood that at last he was going to vindicate his honor. Bur, alas for the uncertainty of mundane affadrs, darkness fell before he could give his fos battle, and he was compelled to quarter him- self upou the nearest statlon and postpons operations until the morning. In the mean- time the outlaw had the good fortune te capture a curate newly arrived from home; he changed clethes with him and set of for the station In question, painting a vivia ploture of the indignities shown to him by the bushrangers. Later in the evening hs held an impremptu on the terrace which was attended by Cavesson, his troops and all the station hands. While this was pro- ceoding his men crept out of hiding, stole Cavessen's horses and thus not only found a means of escape, but effectually prevenied any chance of pursuit. The storm of ridicule and abuse that fol- lowed this episode nearly drove the chag- rined officer Into & lunatic asylum; on tho other hand, it served one geod purpose, it intensified, rather tham dimiuished, his ha- tred of his enemy. The next month was speat in frultless searchings for the band. Thelr leader's cleverncss in evading cap- ture seamed more than buman. Wherever ho was least expected he turned up and where the police had been searching for htm the day before there he weuld nlmost in- evitably reappear, directly thelr baoks wera turmed. It was a bad time for Cavesson. He does not want another like it. Pgriia- ment commented upon his inaptituds, the press waxed sarcastio as to his fitness for the post he held, while the general publio, who did not kmow the man, either accused him outright of cowardice, or credited him with being himselt in league with the out- law. It was enough to break any man's heart, to say nothing of his reputation, and 1t would have shattered Cavessen's com- pletely had ho not possessed a new dlstrac. tion, about which it now becomes my duty to iaform you. Anyone who knows Mulga Flat will recall the fact that twemty miles from the town- ship, on the western side, you reach the boundary fence ot Nollaba station. The Centipede.” Though she refused to listen to my sult, I am prepared to say that Minnle Walkett was us nice a girl as ever stepped, and certainly as pretty. She was tall, pos- sessed of a good figure, hair that her friends termed auburn and her enemles red, a complexion like the inside of a Gloire de Dijon rose, and the lovellest eyes that mortal man ever saw or dreamed of. She was an old school friend of the police mag- istrate’s wife, and it was with that lady and her husband that she stayed during the time she was in the township. She certainly could not complain of having a dull visit. Tennis parties, dances and plc- nics pnumerable were given in her honer, and the inhabitants, one and all, lald emselves out to make her stay pleasant. There were some people, how- ever, who could not look upon her in the light of a guest. They remembered that sho was old Walkett's daughter, and sole heiross to something like three millions sterling, and aspired to the possession of her hand In marriage. Indeed, it was said that the two bank clerks, who set our fash- fens, and were suppesed to represent all that was beautiful In male humanity, were reduced to tears as they sat on their high steels and reflected what their lives might be if they could ouly induce her to listen to their protestatiens. It was at this juncture that Cavesson, big, burly Ca- vesson, with his fierce m che, insouciant oavalry swagger and superhuman steck of cenfldence, came upon the scene, picnicked with her at the water fall and nced three times with her at the dector's hep, played halt a dezen sets of temnls with her on the club ground, and then proposed outright. His was the sort of woolng that admits of no parleying, that carried everything before it, and elther achieves success or dashes itself to pleces in the endeavor to attain It. Seegingly, he did not attempt to Induce her (0 love him, he simply came, saw and conquered, deeming it impessible that she could do anything else than yield herself his prisoner. His impudence had an effect we onlookers little dreamed of. Deem it impessive it you will, but the &irl, who had charmed the globe-tretting dukes, earls and marquises (to say nothing of spendthrift lords and opulent members of assembly); the girl, who might have aepired to a German princeling in Europe, bowed her head, meekly accepted her fate, and consented to become the wife of an ambitious, but poorly pald, inspector of Australlan police. Was it to be won- dered at that, when the sequel about which I am going to tell you, was given to the world, we all laughed. Now, woolng and winning the girl was one thing, but convincing her father that the union was In every way desirable was quite another. Cavesson reallzed this when he went into his ofice the morning after his acceptance and sat down to write his letter. However, it had to be got through and the sooner the better for all parties concerned. As it turned out later, he might have saved himself the trouble, for the letter never reached its destination. The coach by which it traveled was “stuck up" by the Centipede's gang at the turn in the Blind Man's gully in the Ranges, and when the mallbags, which were expected to con- tain money, had been searched and found wanting, the balance of the letters were returned, and the whole lot was thrown futo the creek, where the bag containing the inspector's missive was discevered later on In quite unreadable condition. This little clrcumatance naturally incensed Cavesson more than ever against the Centipede; and when Miss Walkett returned to the south, a week later, ho collected his men and for the bundredth tme scoured the country in search of him. The result was the same as ever. The Centipede Was not to be caught 50 easily as some people imagined, Then came the unkindest cut of all. While Cavesson looking for the gang in the west they appeared in the east, and next day news reached us that Nolluba station, Mr. Walkett's famous property, had le by L Milton Rogers & arnam Sta, been stuck up, the mamager, stookkeeper overseers bound, the office ransacked and fchment it proved to be from Mr, kett himself, who was in Brisbane, and referred |in angry terms to the stickidk up of his station. He could not understand, he said, | why the perpetrators of the outrag not been brought to book, and he stated his lutention of immediately coming out west, in order to inquire more thoroughly into the matter. He brought his letter to a close by stating that, all going well, he would be in Mulga Flat on Wednesday afternoon, when he would be glad if the Imspector would spare the time to visit the station with him. Then followed & paragraph which set the young man’'s heart beating llke & wheat-flail: “My daughter has informed me by letter that you have done her the honor of asking her to be your wife. It is necedless for me to say that this is g matter which demands the most careful consideration. Since she declares that she loves you, I should be loth to give you a hasty answer, #0 if you will drive out with me, as I propése, we can discuss it at our letsure.” Cavesson read the letter once or twice, and then stowed it carefully away in his pocket and set himsel? to wait patiently for Wednesday. In the interim he con- fessed to me—though why he should have made me his confidant I do mot kmow—that he felt more nervous than he had ever done in his life before. As he was at great pains to point out every time we met, the happiness of his whele life was trembling in the balance. And yet he was not as a rule what you would call & nerveus man. Far from it! On Wednesday he dressed himself with more than usual care, and remained in hts office writing his reports and awalting the arrival of the man who had it in his power to decide his fate. The merning dragged slowly by, the afternoon arrtved, but up te 6 o'clock there was no sign at all of the eagerly-expected millionalre. Then, just as the charge room clock struck the half hour, & well-appeinted buggy, drawn by a pair of horses, drove down the main street and pulled up at the police station door. Im it was seated an elderly gentleman of beaign, though rather eccemtric, rance. He was wearing & light gray suft, a big setar topes, and, to protect his eyes from the dust, wore close-fitting blue spectacles. When he spoke it was with an air of com- mand that seemed to befit & man who was several times a milllonaire. Cavessom lost no time In going out to him, “Have I the pleasure of addr ‘Walkett?’ ho inquire “That is my nam atruptly, son sing Mr. n his best manner, Teplied the other “You, I presume, are Mr. Caves- Yes," sald the young man, “my name is Cavesson. I hope you have had & pleasant Jourmey?" . “Far from pleasant,” emarked the mil- licoaire brusquely. *“The dust is terrible, and your roads are the worst in Queens- land. Are you at liberty to accompany me to the station “l am quite at your service,” Cavesson replied. “If you will excuse me for a mo- ment I will fetch my valise.” He brought out the article in question, pushed it under the seat and then got in himself. Walkett touched up the horses, and a moment later the strangely assorted covple were driving merrily down the street toward the track that pointed across the plain in the directlon of Nollaba sta- tion. At first Cavesson was a little silent, but he soon got over his nervousmess, and, by the time they were halt way down the street, talked pleasantly and easily enough. Before leaving the tewnship Mr. Walkett drew up at the door of the princt: pal bank, and, handing the reius to the in- spector, dismounted from his buggy and proceeded into the manager's private - dence. I'ive minutes later he returned, accompanied by Mr. Burten. The latter carried a valise in his hand, and, when he reached the buggy, nodded affably to the man seated {n it. Then, sald Mr. Walkett, by way of explanation: ‘“Burton is coming out to the statlon with us. I've a deal of business to talk to a Burton, and make yourself comfortable! ‘The banker did as he was ordered, anma five minutes later the buggy was rolling merrily out of the township toward the station. At first Cavesson was delighted with the arrangement, but when he came to think it over he discovered that e was not so well pleased. He had hoped to have had the squatter entirely to himself in order that he might talk to him about his daughter and the proposed evgagement. Now he knew he must either walt in the hope that a convenient opportunity would present itself or endeavor to make one for himself. A little after 8 o'clock they reached their destination, and for the first time the manager made his employer's acqualntance. It was an awkward moment, for so many queer stories were in circulation about the little man and his eccentricities that both he and his wife had, since the receipt of the ewner's letter warning them of hls intended visit, been much perturbed con- cerning it. They might, however, have spared themselves the anxiety, for the little man asked no questions that night. ‘Wbhen they had washed off the dust of travel they repaired to the dining room and sat dewn to diuner, During the progress of the meal the conversation teuched a variety of tepics, but as soon it was finished and they passed into the veranda, Cavesson asked his hest if he could spare him five minutes alone. The old gentleman signified h! consent, and they passed down the steps into the garden together. “You did not see Miss Walkett, I pre- sume, sir, on your way up?’ began the inspector, resolving not to trifie with his subject, but to bring matters to & head at once. “I Aald not,” her father answered, la- conically. “She was golng south by train, and I came north by boat. But it you want to know how I became aware of your offer, I may say that I have & letter from her since she left Mulga Flat. Then she has probably prepared you a Jttle for the communication I wish to make to you. “Ehe told me that you had made her an ofter for her hand, 1f that's what you mean. But seelng that she is only a young girl, 1 resolved to attach no impertance to It until I had made your acquaintance, ana could judge of your character and abilities for myseit."” He stopped and suddenly faced Cavesson. “And what have you to say to me about those abilities?" The abruptness of this question was more than the young man had bargained for, and for a moment he stood confused, not know- ing exaotly what reply to make. At I however, he pulled himselt together and began. When he had finished, Mr, Walkett humrmed and hawed for a few moments, and then sald, dryly: ““The amount of your salary 1a?" “Three hundred and Afty pounds a year.* “Dear me! and pray how do you suppo: on that magnificent sum to maintain my dsughter in the luxury to which she has been accustomed?*" “I can only answer that I intend to do my very utmost to make her happy—it you will let me bave her, that s to stammered the wretched Cavessom, glanc- ing uneasily at his companion. 'Ot course, you will mot expect me to help you. Well, we'll see. But when all's sald and done, young man, you don't stand before me {n a very good light just mow. I my ell tell you that frankly, You have been after this notorious bushranger longer than you ought to have been; and, what's worse, you have allowed me to suffes by his infernal rascality. Now, see here, 1 will make an agreement with you. Catch me this Centipede and hand him over to Justice. Whett you've dohe that you shall ask me for my girl. Fall to catch him, and you lose your wife. What have you to say? “I think it 18 very generous of you to him about. Jump up to the seat behind, | talk of leiting me bave her at all, but as for your stipulation—well, I can only say that I have always done my best to bring the fellow to justice, but every time I gev him cormered he invariably manages to slip through my fingers again. Well, you must do better for the future, and now that you know my feelings on the watter, let us go inside. Tomerrow we will heold an inquiry as to his visit here, and try to hit out a clue as to his capture.” They went in, and an hour or so later sought their various couches. Next morning Cavesson was early astir and, by the time the breakfast bell sounded, bad been about the homestead making in- quiries on his own account. After the meal the owner called up his manager and the hapds and held a court of inquiry in the dining room. Every person who had been on the place at the time of the bush- ranger's visit, gave evideace, and their answers were taken down In writing by the storekeeper. Unfortunately, however, they elicited very little that was fresh, and ab- solutely nothing that could be considered a elue. When the sitting was at an end Burton and Cavesson went for a drive with tl owner and his manager to inspect & new dam, which had been bullt at considerable cest, in & distant paddock. It was nearly 8 o'clock by the time they returned to the homestead. As they drove up to the front door Caves- son, much to his surprise, saw the ser- geant, whom ha bad left in ch: of the polce station, ering the horse paddock with all the troopers behind him. “What has brought you out here? in- quired the astonlshed inspector, he jumped out of the bug; “Your me: sir!” replied the ser- geant, saluting. “I came directly I re- ceved it!" “But I've semt mo message. you mean? Who brought 1t?" “A small boy mounted on & chestnut horse, sir! He sald he had come in from Nollaba station; that you had mews of the Centipede, and that I was to come to you a8 soon as possible and bring all the men with me. We came fa hour and a halt, sirl™ “Good heavens! we've been tricked again,” cried Cavesson, almost beside him- self with ra “I hope you kept that b What do No, sir, when he had given me his mes- sage I let him go. I never doubted, you #eo, sir, but that it was genuine.” “Well, you'd better be off back as soon as possible. I'll borrow a horse from Mr. Walkett and accompany you.” Turning to the astonished squatter, he narrated what had occurred, and begged the loan of a horse on which to return to the township. This was Iimmediately granted and, as soon the animal was ready, he mounted and, bidding Burton and his host goodby, set off on his jourmey. It was nearly dusk when he reached his desti- nation, and all through the ride he had been suffering agonles of apprehension. What if his enemy had over-reached him again? And with Walkett in the district to be a spectator of his humillation! He made his way to the police tiom immediately on arrival. There was only the sergeant’s wife there—but from her he learnt the nows and saw that his worst fears were realized. The bank, of which the unsuspecting Burton was manager, bad been entered by the Centipede's gang in broad daylight, the eashler and clerks had been boun 4 gagged after a vigorous re- sistance and over £5,000 in gold and silver had been carried off. An hour later Burton was at the police statlon with & white and solemn face, In- terviewing Cavesson, and bitterly upbraid- ing himselt for having taken his 1ittle hol- iday. While they were talking there was a nolse outside and a moment later & disheveled scallyw: of a man made his uppearance, covered from head to foot with dust and footsore almost te the point of dropping. “Get out of this; don't you gaged?" cried Cavesson angrily, I'm en- for he was not in the humor to listen to any minor grievances. “If you've anything to gay, say it to the sergeant.” “I'll teach you to tell me to get out, sir,” cried the scellywag in a furlous voice. “I'll teach you to insult people as well as to allow them to be robbed. Catch me the Centipede before another day has passed, or—"* Cavesson’s manner changed immediately. ““The Centipepe!' he cried, catching the other by the arm. ‘‘Why, what has he done to you?" ““What has he done to me? What more could he have done? Look at the state I'm in! Look at my clothes, look at my hat! It's all his doing. He stopped me yesterday, five miles from Wagondah, rode out of the scrub with a couple of his con- founded confederates and bailed me up as I was driving quietly along on my way to this place. Then he make me get out of my buggy and, when I bad done so, tled me to & tree a short distance off the track, where I rematned until I was found and re- leased by some teamsters this morning. In the meantime he had driven off in my buggy with all my baggage. I will give £1,000 to secure the man's conviction.' As you may imagine, Cavesson and Bur- ton by this time were interested In the story as ever he could wish them to be. “‘Excuse me," 1d the former, his volce shaking s little, “but would you mind tell- ing me your name?" “My name is Walkett,” answered man. “I'm the owner of Nollaba station.” Cavesson whipped his hand into his pocket and drew out a letter, which he spread upon the tdble. Burton immedi- ately followed his example. “Did you write that letter? asked each in turn. Walkett looked first at one and then the other. No; I can safely say I wrote neither, The writing In no way resembles mine." “Can you prove your identity?" “In & hundred ways, If necessary. My name is on my linen, and I have a number of letters In my peoket that will set your minds at rest." Cavosson sprang te the bell and rang it Iike & tornado. When 1t was answered he sent for the sergeant on duty, As soon as he arrived he was dispatched with half & the its owner. A little after midnight the sergeaut re turned with the Information that, as soon a5 ho had seen Mr. Burton depart, the owner | had called for a horse, saylng he was going to inspect an outlying paddock. He went, but never returned to the station again. Cavesson’s face was a picture you might never sce again. He rose and thumped the table with his fist. “Come whbat may,” he sald, “I will not rest until I have that fellow in my hands. Mr. Walkett, you have been badly treated, and so bave I. But we'll have noble ven- geance. I'll say no more now than this, that when I've got him I'll come to you for my reward!" “Ah! I think I understand,” the squatter answered. “You mean my daughter, She has told me that you have asked her to be your wio.! “I have, and I love hor with all my heart and soul.” ‘“Well, catch me this Centipede and we'l] talk about It. But not now. Arrest that man first.” Cavesson shook hands with him and the bargain was concluded.
