1 Noon and Midnight A. B. , 1883 single work short story
— Appears in: The Australian Journal , July vol. 18 no. 218 1883; (p. 590-591)
Noon in the desert sees little Mary's immigrant parents dying with their oxen from lack of water. Mary is found by some rugged miners and brightens their camp until she is killed by a local mentally ill man. She is mourned at midnight by Jim who had adopted her. Vivid pictures of the cruelty of American west - with sentimental roughness of character. (PB)
