— Appears in: The Australian Journal , November vol. 32 no. 390 1897; (p. 760-763) Station romance. An Englishman, a new chum down on his luck, trades his clothes with a swagman in an attempt to overcome suspicion and get a job. He is hired on a station where he falls in love with the owner's daughter but raises the ire of his rival, the manager, who procures his dismissal. The young woman refuses the manager who - along with the banks - secured her father's ruin and early death. The woman and her sister attempt to support their mother as seamstress and governess drudge but are near starvation when she busks as a last resort and her old suitor discovers and rescues her. (PB)
