Melbourne crime tale. The narrator, working odd jobs to support his family in the days of crashes after the land boom, is injured by a fallen load of bricks, and is witness to a card game in which a man is drugged and the contents of his bag exchanged. Two newspaper reports, the latter of a merchant charged with forgery, identify the crime as forgery and the victim. He reveals what he knows, criminals are caught and the man rewarded. (PB)
