"I‘hey tell us it is not far ctl'.’ ‘ In What direction did you come?’ Nipper pointed. ‘ Well, the Lord be praised !’ said the man, in a tone of feeling which wonderfully relieved Nipper, and still more allayed the terrors ofToby. ‘ Why, my good lads, if you had gone that way, you would have been hushed beyond redemption. There is not a house when you had left mine, for fifty tniles. But it’s all right now, and I am right thankful that I happened to see your light, and was curious to know what it was. Come, lift that little fellow up here.’ He took Toby by the arms, as Nip- per lifted him up, placed him before him on the saddle; and then going on a few yards to the trunk ofa huge tree that lay on the ground. ‘ There, youngster,’ he said, ‘ mount that, and gcton the horse behind-we’ll soon find the station.’ Nipper swung the roll of blanket on his back, pop- ped the two pzinnikins into the tin pan, and carrying that on his arm, was soon seated behind the stranger.

I ‘N-ow take care of your heads, young ones,’ said the stranger, Very good keeping that [We a tight to Impose active lads can keep on. without a word, as if they were bound to the world’s end.

There was a simultane- ous outburst of barking and yelping dogs; and the stranger crying ‘ So, so 1’ they were as suddenly still, and the two boys found themselves at the door of a low, long but. around which could be faintly seen, in the gloom, a number of other huts.

Our young adventurers, it a word, found themselves days Toby was on his foot again. sound as a reach, and both toys w full of curiosity and enjoi'ment of his back greatly amUsed the people. They told them they must stay and learn to be squatters.- ‘ Time enough ,~’ said Mr. Lasse’tter. ‘ for the diggings, when you are big- enough to handle a pick and shovel on your own account. The diggings are a bad School for bcys. The bush is the place. Here you have plenty of room, plenty ofair, plenty of time, plenty nfeverytling. The laughing jackass calls you up in the morning; the mo‘repork sngs you to sleep at night; the magic \varbles to you as you follow your flock. There are horses to ride and nothing to pay. Kangaroos and chews, wild turkeys and black swans to hunt; fish as big as yourselves inthe rivers, and, in short, it's a finclife, lcan tell you. The squatter will be :1, king when the digger is nobody.‘ Why, I have thirty thousand sheep, four thousand cattle, more horses than I know of, and I would not' thank old Rothschild to be my grand- father. All this sounded wondrous fine to the two lads. It did not appear how Nipper and Toby wer just to spring up into such squatters; but that lit- tle difficulty never occurred to them. Their imaginations followed Mr. Lassetter all amongst kangaroos, emews, troops of wild horses, and mighty forests musical with warb- ling magpies and flocks of wild tur- key s, and they were all ablazc to be inhabitants of the bush. - ‘Come, then,’ said the squatter, ‘men are men here, just now; nay, boys are men. 1 am at my wit’send for shepherds.

Mr. Lesscttcr left them, and man let out his flock, which went gently grazing along the plea- sant plains. ‘This,’ said the old man, ‘is all you have to do.

He aimed a cut at the top' of a young Wattle tree several yards off, and cut it clean away; ‘ That’s the weapo’n,’ said the 01:1 man, With a" proud look. ‘ When you can Use that and manâ€" age your horse, you need not fear to encounter wild dog, wild manâ€"41m, nor even the very fiend.

All day the old stockman showed them how to manage their flock, and told them endless stories of his ad- ventures in hunting up cattle in the mountains, and with the blacks. ‘But they are tame enough now, are the poor black fellows,’ he ad-l ded. He instructed them in the use of the whip, but told them it requir- ed practice, and said he would leave it with them. The next day our two young he- roes drove out their flocks them- selves. Never did two creatures feel themselves of such importance, as when they woke in their own wood but, made their own tea, fried their own chops for breakfast, open- ed their pen, and saw’ the beautiful flock, three thousand in number, as shapely and finely bred as any South Downs, pour with a quiet motion, like a cloud rolling along the plain.

Many a night they we'nt in pursuit of the curleWs, which came and set up such a wild riot by their stream; but they never could find them; They came in their wanderings to a large lake, which abounde’d with wild fowl. There were black swans, and immense flocks of wild geese, wild ducks. ibises, and p'el'icans, which perfectly enchanted them; Presently there came a tribe of ne'- tives, and camped down on the stream near the lake; and Nipper and Toby watched their fishing and snoring of birds, and chopping of opossums out of the hollow trees, with never-ceasing interest. They taught them now to catch these odd amphibious animals, the platypuses. When these people moved on again, they had left the two boys a host of new ideas and amusements. While their flocks grazed at pleasure. they were every day busy hunting and catching of opossums in the neighboring trees. Their dogs Were perfectlyfrantic with delight in this pursuit, as all dogs are. ‘When their flock, were penned at night, they were constantly out on moonlight nights watching the opossums, and flying squirrels, and flying mice,- gamboling about in the trees, and thus knew where to look for them in the day time.- ' _ At noon, while their flocks r'e‘ste‘d, they were busy pegging out their opossum skins on pieces of bark, like the natives, to dry, and very soon :tlzey had several Oppossum rugs large enough for bed quilts, which in Mel~ pounds apiece; Toby’s great am; bition was to send one to‘ his mother with the first twenty pounds.

They had got a queen odd, furry animal, which climbed the trees“; and gum, and which is called a Sun’bear. This they had famed. and took out daily with them, and it might easily be found, at: any time, by its‘ cry of ‘ Yahoo 1 Yahoo 1" I At night,they often heard the lo‘ng’, Wolfn‘like' howls of the wild dogs on the bills; but one night they were - woke by a terrible clamor Of the dogs, anda‘ rushing amongst their sheep. as if diiven together. ‘ The wild dogs.

In the next mo- ment they saw, in the faint moon- light, three or four yellow, wolfish- looking animals co’me scouring along the sides of the pen, pursued by the sheep-dogs, yet snatching at the sheep‘ as they came. Nipper discharged a shot from an old gun at one of them, which told effectively on his hide, and with a' sharp yell, he and the others ru‘shled awav towards the bush, pursued by .Ietsu‘m and F’lotsu'm in' full cry.
