'''A SISTER'S FATE''' "Poor [[Kate Kelly|Kate]] could have told you," he presently went on, very slowly, and regarding his hands the white-hands that could have gripped and held, and thrown a wild steer. "Kate could have told you what our people had to put up with from the police from the beginning. She could have told you how cruelly they ill-used us all, especially the girls. But Kate is dead. . . . It is all over, now. Besides . . . . Dear, loyal, brave little Kate! . . . Of course she helped her brothers in their trouble. Was it not on account of her-to protect her-that they got into trouble? She'd have helped them anyway. Yes; she fooled the police time after time. They drove the girlishness out of her. And instead of the girl they found that they had to do with a woman; and not an ordinary woman, but one who knew the bush and knew no fear, and who loved her brothers with as great a love as woman's bosom could hold. Poor little Kate! . . . To think of all this dreadful trouble over one young policeman's folly! . . . . Well, it's done. Kate is dead-and Ned, and Dan-all dead. But there'll be a reckoning yet, I think."
