ABOUT
two
miles
from
the
railway
,
the
plain
terminated
in
a
range
of
low
hills
,
and
it
was
not
long
before
the
wagon
entered
a
succession
of
narrow
gorges
and
capricious
windings
,
out
of
which
it
emerged
into
a
most
charming
region
,
where
grand
trees
,
not
closely
planted
,
but
in
scattered
groups
,
were
growing
with
absolutely
tropical
luxuriance
.
As
the
party
drove
on
they
stumbled
upon
a
little
native
boy
lying
fast
asleep
beneath
the
shade
of
a
magnificent
banksia
.
He
was
dressed
in
European
garb
,
and
seemed
about
eight
years
of
age
.
There
was
no
mistaking
the
characteristic
features
of
his
race
;
the
crisped
hair
,
the
nearly
black
skin
,
the
flattened
nose
,
the
thick
lips
,
the
unusual
length
of
the
arms
,
immediately
classed
him
among
the
aborigines
of
the
interior
.
But
a
degree
of
intelligence
appeared
in
his
face
that
showed
some
educational
influences
must
have
been
at
work
on
his
savage
,
untamed
nature
.
Lady
Helena
,
whose
interest
was
greatly
excited
by
this
spectacle
,
got
out
of
the
wagon
,
followed
by
Mary
,
and
presently
the
whole
company
surrounded
the
peaceful
little
sleeper
.
"
Poor
child
!
"
said
Mary
Grant
.
"
Is
he
lost
,
I
wonder
,
in
this
desert
?
"
"
I
suppose
,
"
said
Lady
Helena
,
"
he
has
come
a
long
way
to
visit
this
part
.
No
doubt
some
he
loves
are
here
.

"
But
he
ca
n't
be
left
here
,
"
added
Robert
.
"
We
must
--
"
His
compassionate
sentence
remained
unfinished
,
for
,
just
at
that
moment
the
child
turned
over
in
his
sleep
,
and
,
to
the
extreme
surprise
of
everybody
,
there
was
a
large
label
on
his
shoulders
,
on
which
the
following
was
written
:
TOLINE
.
To
be
conducted
to
Echuca

"
That
's
the
English
all
over
!
"
exclaimed
Paganel
.
"
They
send
off
a
child
just
as
they
would
luggage
,
and
book
him
like
a
parcel
.
I
heard
it
was
done
,
certainly
;
but
I
could
not
believe
it
before
.
