value of human
flesh and nurtured it. And Australia understood. In the stress of the
German War it had sobered up. It had dropped the Utopian dreams of the
impracticable and used its head. It saw an analogy in the system of the
"Syndicate," "Organisation and Co-operation," to a similar system that
had led them to victory on the battlefields of Europe.

The perfect organisation that military training gave, and the intense
co-operation the call of the blood demanded, instilled these two great
principles into Australian character.

The great German War was worth while to Australia.

It is evening as I write these concluding phrases. I look across Sydney
Harbor from my Cremorne home, and I see the city skyline edged with a
glistening fringe.

Beyond the distant hills of purple blue the sun is sinking in a saffron
sky.

Into the evening air the homeward 'planes are rising from the city park.

A faint report comes from the sunset gun and starts a train of vision
running through my mind.

I hear again the gun that brought me from the sky into the Forest of the
Argonne, and then "Nap" passes through my thoughts. (He is now in charge
of a Syndicate concern.)

Madame then comes into vision. (She is now the "gran'ma" of my home.)

Then Wilbrid totters across my field of thought.

And then Helen--but my reverie has ended....

She calls me in.

(The End.)
