st way," said his father quietly, and
then he went out to greet the other doctor; and that same evening, when
the sun went down in splendour over beyond the sandy plain where the
gold reef lay, Nealie's father put her hand in that of the other Dr.
Plumstead and gave them both his blessing.

Then the crimson faded through gold to grey in the sky above the sandy
plain, and the shadows of night dropped down on the grave of the
nameless stranger under the mulga scrub; but in Latimer the streets and
shops were brightly lighted, and all the busy life of getting and having
went on, as it had done in the haunts of men since the world began.
