PAST XX.
The Country of the Saint.
CHAPTER L
ON Tint GREAT ALKALI PLAIX
In the central portion of the great
North American continent there lies
an arM and repulsive desert which for
many a long1 year served its a barrier
against the advance of civilization.
From the Sierra Nevada, to Nebraska
and from the Yellowstone river in the
north to the Colorado upon the south
is a region of desolation and' silence.
Nor is nature always in one mood
throughout this grim district Jt cota
prises BnowanrH. and. ,loftr moun-
tains and dark and" gloomy valleys
There are swift-flowing rivers-which
dash through iaffcred canvons. and
there are enormous plains which. in
winter are white with snow and in
summer are gTay with the saline alkali
dust. They all preserve, however, the
common characteristics of barrenness,
inhospitality and misery.
There are no inhabitants of this land
of despair. A band of Pawnees or of
Blackf eet may occasionally traverse it
in order to . reach other hunting
pounds, but the hardiest of the braves
are glad to lose sight of those awesome
plains, and to find themselves once
more upon their prairies. The coyote
skulks among the scrub, the buzzard
flaps heavily through the air, and the
clumsy grizzly bear lumbers throu-rl-ihe
dark ravines, and picks up such
sustenance as it can among the rocks.
These arc the sole dwellers in the wil
derness. In the whole world there can be no
more dreary view than that from the
northern slope of the Sierra Blanco.
As far as the eye can reach stretches
the great flat plainland, all dusted over
with patches of alkali, and intersected
by clumps of the dwarfish chaparral
bushes. On the extreme verge of the
horizon lie3 a long ehain of mountain
peaks, with their rugged summits
necked with snow. In this great
6trctch of country there is no sign of
life, nor of anything appertaining to
life. There is no bird in the steel-blue
heaven, no movement upon the dull,
gray earth above all, there is abso
lute silence. Listen as one may, there
is no shadow of a sound in all that
mighty wilderness; nothing but silence
complete and heart-subduing silence.
It has been said there is nothing ap
pertaining to life upon the broad
plain. That is hardly true. Looking
down from the Sierra lUanco, one sees
a pathway traced out across the desert.
Which winds away and is lost in the
extreme distance. It is rutted with
wheels and trodden down by the feet
of many adventurers. Here and there
are scattered wtnte objects wnicn
glisten in the sua, and stand out
against the dull deposit of alkali. Ap
proach and examine them! They arc
bones; some large and coarse, others
smaller and more delicate. The for
mer have belonged to oxen, and the
latter to men. For fifteen hundred
miles one may trace this ghastly cara
van route by these scattered remains
of those who had fallen by the way
side. Looking down on this very scene,
there stood upon the 4th of May, 1847,
a solitary traveler. His appearance
was such thf-t he might have .been the
very genius or demon of the region.
An observer would have found it diffi
cult to say whether he was nearer to
forty or to sixty. II is face was lean
and haggard, and the brown, parchment-like
skin was drawn tightly over
the projecting bones; his long, brown
hair and beard were all flecked and
dashed with white; his eyes were
sunken in his head, and burned with
an unnatural luster, while the hand
which grasped his rifle was hardly
more fleshy tha,n that of a skeleton.
As he stcod, he leaned upon his weapon
for support, and yet his tall figure and
the massive framework of his bones
suggested a wiry and vigorous consti
tution. His gaunt face, however, and
his clothes, which hung so baggilyover
his shriveled limbs, proclaimed what
it was that gave him that senile and
decrepit appearance. The man was
dying dying from hunger and from
thirst.
He had toiled painfully down the
ravine and on to this little elevation,
in the vain hope of seeing some signs
of water. Now the great salt plain
stretched before his eyes, and the dis
tant belt of savage mountains, without
a sign anywhere of plant or tree, which
might indicate the presence of moist
ure. In all that broad landscape
there was no gleam of hope. North
and east and west he looked with wild
questioning eyes, and then he realized
that his wanderings had come to an
end, and that there, on that barren
crag, he was about to die. "Why not
here, as well as in a feather bed, twenty
years hence," he muttered, as he seated
himself in Ihe shelter of a bowlder.
Before sitting down, he had de
posited upon the ground his useless
rifle, and also a large Dunme tied up
in a gray shawl, which he had carried
slung over his right shoulder It ap
peared to be somewhat too heavy for
his strength, for, in lowering it, it
came down on the ground with some
little violence- Instantly there broke
from the gray parcel a little moaning
rrv. and from It there nrotruded a
small, scared f aca, with very bright
brown eyes, and two little speckled
dimpled fiats. .
"You've hurt me!" said a childish
Voici, reproachfully.
f Have I though?" the man answered,
penitently; "I didn't go for to do it."
As he spoke he unwrapped the gray
shawl and extricated a pretty little girl
of about five years of age, whoso
dainty 6hoes and smart pink frock,
with its little linen apron, all bespoke
a mother's cafe The child was pale
and wan, but her healthy arms and
legs showed that she had suffered less
than her companion. " ;
How is it now?" he answered, anx
toudv. for she was still rubbine the
towsy golden eurls whicB covered the
back of her head. '
"Kiss it and make irwelV she said,
with perfect gravity, shoving the in
jured part up to him. "That's what
mother used to do. -Where's mothe7',
"Mother's gone. I guess youTI .see
her before long."
"Gone, eh!" said the little girL
'Funny, she didn't say good-by; she
'most always did ii she was- just goin'
over to auntie's for tea, and now she's
been away for three days. Say, it's
awful dry, ain't it? Ain't there no
water nor nothing to eat?
"No, thefe aint nothing, dearie.
You'll just need to be patient awhile.
and then you'll be all right. -Put your
head up agin me like that, and then
you'll feel better. It ain't easy to talk
when -your lips is,iike- leather, but J
guess. I d best leJt you kn-eW how the
cards lieT What's that yonVe fot?"
'Pretty things!" fine tilings! cried
the little girl enthusiastically, holding
up two glittering fragments of mica.
"When we goes back to home I'll give
them to Brother Bob."
"You'll see prettier things than them
soon," said the man, confidently. "You
just wait a bit. I was going to tell
you, though you remember when we
left the river?"
"Oh, yes."
"Well, we reckoned we'd strike an
other river soon, d'ye see? But there
was 6omethirf wrong; compasses, or
map, or somethin', and it didn't turn
up. Water ran out. Just except a lit
tle drop for the likes of you and
and"
, "And you couldn't wash yourself," in
terrupted his companion gravely, star
ing up at his grimy visage.
"No, nor drink. And Mr. Bender, he
was the first to go, and then Indian
Pete, and then Mrs. McGregor, and
then Johnny Hones, and then, dearie,
your mother."
"Then mother's a deader, too," cried
the little girl, dropping her face in her
pinafore and sobbing bitterly.
"Yes, they all went except you and
me. Then I thought there was some
chance of water in this direction, so I
heaved yotf over my shoulder and we
tramped it together. It don't seem
as though we've improved matters.
There's an almighty small chance for
us now!"
"Do you
die, too?"
mean that we are going to
asked the child, checking
her sobs, and raising ho- tear-stained
face.
"I guess that's about the 6ize of it."
"Why didn't yon say so before?" she
said, laughing gleefully. "You gave
me such a fright. Why, of course, now
as long as we die we'll be with mother
again."
"Yes, you wilL dearie."
"And joti, too. I'll tell her how-awful
good you've been.. .I'll bet hc
meets us at the door of Heaven with a
big pitcher of water, and a lot of buck
wheat cakes, hot, and toasted on both
sides, like Bob and rae was fond of.
How long will it be first."
"I don't know not very long." The
man's eyes were fixed r.pon the north
ern horizon. In the blue vault of the
heaven there appeared three little
specks which increased in size every
moment, so rapidly did they approach.
They speedily resolved themselves into
three large brown birds, which circled
over the heads of the two wanderers,
and then settled upon some rocks
which overlooked them. They were
buzzards, the vultures of the west,
whose coming is the forerunner of
death.
"Cocks and hens!" cried the little
girl, gleefully, pointing at their ill
omened forms, and clapping her handn
to make them rise. '"Say, did God
make this country?"
"In course lie did," said her com
panion, rather startled by this unex
pected question.
"lie made the country down in Illi
nois, and He made the Missouri," the
little girl continued. "I guess some
body else made the country in these
parts. Its not nearly so well done.
They forgot the water and the trees."
"What would ye think of offering up
prayer?" the man asked, diffidently. ,
"ft ain't night j-et," she answered.
"It don't matter. It ain't quite reg
ular, but He won't mind that, you bet.
You say over them ones that you used
to say every night in the wagon when
we was on the plains."
"Why don't j-ou say some yourself?"
the child asked, with wondering eyes.
"I disremember them," he answered.
"I hain't said none since I was half
the height o' that gun. I guess it's
never too late. You say them out, and
I'll stand by and come in on the
choruses."
"Then you'll need to kneel down,
and me, too," she said, layiijg the
shawl out for that purpose. "You've
got to put your Tiands up like this, ft
makes you feel kind of good."
It was a strange sight, had there
been anything but the buzzards to see
it. Side by side on the narrow shawl
knelt the two wanderers, the little,
prattling child and the reckless, hard
ened adventurer. Her chubby face
and bis haggard, angular visage were
both turned p to the cloudless
heaven in heartfelt- entreaty to that
dread being with whom they were face
to face, while the two voices the one
thin and clear, the other deep and
harsh united in the entreaty for mercy
and forgiveness. 'The prayer finished,
they resumed their seat in the shadow
of the bowlder until the child fell
asleep, nestling upon the broad breast
of her protector. He watched over
her slumber for some time, but nature
proved to be too strong for him. For
three days and three nights he had
allowed himself neither .rest nor re
pose.- Slowly the eyelidsydroopl over
the tired eyes, and the head sunk
lower upon the breast, until the man's
grizzled beard was mixed with Jie
golden tresses- of his companion, and
both sKrpt ther same deep and dream
less slumber. '
Had the wanderer remained awake
for another half -hour a strange sight
would have met his eyes. Far away
on the extreme verge of the aiiraii
plain there rose up a little spray of
.dust, very slight at first, andhardly to
be distinguished from the mists of the
distance, -7" btti ' gtiuiuaJiy" : growing
higher dd broader until;' it formed a
solid, well-defined clouL ; This cloud
continued to increase In slze until it
became evidept that itconld.o'nly be
raised by a great multitude- of moving
creatures. la more fertile spots th e
observer would have com? to the con
clusion that one of those great herds
of bisons which graze upon, the prairie
land was" approaching him." This was
obviously impossible in these arid
wilds. As the whirl of dust drew
nearer to the solitary bluff upon which
the two castaways were reposing, the
canvas-coTered lilts of wagons and the
figures of armed horsemen began to
show up through , the haxe, and the
apparition revealed itself being
ui-pwinou reveaiea itt .ocing a
great caravan jspou its jottrnetor tW
west. BuL What-acittrrw:? When the
heaaof it had reached the base of
the mountains, the rear was cot yet
visible orr- the horizon. Right
across the enormous plain strefbhed
the straggling array, wagons and
darts, men on horseback and men on
foot. Innumerable women who stag
gered along under burdens, and chil
dren who toddled beside the wagons
or peeped out from under the white
coverings. This was evidently no or
dinary party of immigrants, but rather
some nomad people who had been com
pelled from stress of circumstances to
seek themselves a new country. There
rose through the clear air a confused
clattering and rumbling from this
great mass of humanity, with the
creaking of wheels and the neighing
horses. Loud as it was, it was not suf
ficient to rouse the two tired wayfarers
above them.
At the head of the column there rode
a score or more of grave, iron-faced
men, clad in somber, homespun gar
ments and armed with rifles. On reach
the base of the bkiff they halted and
.held a short council among themselves.
"The wells are to the risrht, my
brothers," said a one, a hard-lipped,
clean-shaven man with prrizzly hair.
"To the right of the Sierra Blanco
so we shall reach the Iiio Grande," said
another.
"Fear not for water," cried a third.
"He who could draw it from tho rocks
will not now abandon His owu chosen
people."
"Amen! Amen!" responded the whole
party.
They were about to resume their
journey when one of the youngest and
keenest-eyed uttered an exclamation
and pointed up at the ragged crag
above them. From its summit there
fluttered a little wisp of pink, showing
up hard and bright against the gray
rocks behind. At the sight there was
a general reining up of horses and un
slingingof guns, while fresh horsemen
came galloping up to reinforce the
vanguard. The word "redskins" was
on every Hp.
"There can't be any number of In
juns here," said the elderly man who
appeared to be in command. "We
have passed the Pawnees, and there
are no other tribes until we cross the
great mountains."
"Shall I go forward and see. Brother
Stangcrson?" asked one of the band.
"And I," "And I," cried a doen
voices.
"Leave your horses below and wo
will wait3rou here," the elder answered
In a moment the young fellowa had
dismounted, fastened their horses, and
were ascending the precipitous slope
which led up to the object which had
excited their curiobity. They advanced
rapidly and noiselessly, with the con
fidence and dexterity of practised
scouts. The watchers from the plain
below could see them dit from rock to
rock until their tigurcs btood out
against the sky-line. Tho young man j
who had first given the alarm was load
ing them. Suddenly his followers saw
him throw up his hands, as though
overcome with astonishment, and on
joining him Jcy were affected In the
same way by tr vfht whior net their
eyes.
On the little plateau which crowned
the barren hill there stood a single
giant bowlder, and against this bowlder
there lay a tall man, long-bearded and
hard-featured,-but of an excessive thin
ness. His placid face and regular
breathing showed that ho was fast
asleep. Beside him lay a little child,
with her round white arms encircling
his brown, sinewy neck, and her
golden-haired head resting upou the
breast of his velveteen tunic Her rosy
lips were parted, showing the regular
line of snow-white teeth within, and a
playful smile played over her infantile
features. Ilcr plump little white
legs, terminating in white socks, and
neat shoes with shining buckles,
offered a strange contrast to the long,
shriveled members of her companion.
On the ledge of rock above thi3 strange
couple there stood three solemn, buz
zards, who, at the sight of tho, new
comers, uttered raucous screams of dis
appointment and flapped sullenly
away.
The cried of the foul birds awoke the
two sleepers, who stared about them in
bewilderment. The man staggered to.
his feet and looked down upon tho
plain which hal been so desolate when
sleep had overtaken him, and which
was now traversed by this enormous
body of men and of beasts. Ilia face
assumed an expression of incredulity
as ho gazed, and he passed his bony
hand over his eyes. "This is what they
call delirium. I guess," he muttered.
The child stood beside him, holding on
to the skirt of his coat, and said noth
ing, but looked all round her with the
wondering, questioning gav of child
hood. The rescuing party were speedily
able to convince the two castaways
that their appearance was no delusion.
One of them seized the little girl and
hoisted her upon his shoulder, while
two othcr3 supported her. gaunt com
panion and assisted im toward the
wagons.
"My name is John Fcrrier, the wan
derer exclaimed; "me and the little un
are all that's left o twenty-one people.
The rest is all dead o thirst and hun-
gcr away down in th 9 south. :
"Is she your child?" asked some
one. ' - - -
"1 guess 6he Is now, the other cried,
dcHaatLv: "she'srniae 'ctvuse I saved
her. . No one will take her away from
me. -She's Lucy Fcrrier from this day
on. ' Who are you, though? he con
tinued, glancing with curiosity m .hit
stalwart, sunburned rescuers. There
seems to be a powerful lot of ye." '
- -'Nigh upon ten thousand, said one
of the young men. "We are the per
secuted children of God tho chosen of
tho angel Merona.
. "I never heard tell on him, said the
wanderer. "He appears to have chosen
a fair crowd of ye." 1
"Do not jest at that which is aaast,"
said , the other, sternly. "We ore of
those who believe in those sacred writ
ings, drawn in Egyptian letters on
plates of beaten gold, which
handed unto the holy Joseph. Smith U

voo, in the state of Illinois, where we
had founded our temple. We have
come to seek a refuge from the violent

it be the heart of the desert."
The name of Nan voo evidently re
called recollections to John Ferxier.
'! see," he said; "you are the Mor
mons." "We are the Mormons," answered his
companions with one voice.
"And where art? you going?"
"We do not know. Tho hand of
God is leading us under the person of
our prophet. You must come before
him. lie s'uall say what is to be done
with you."
They had reached the base of the
hill by this time, and were surrounded
by crowds of the p:lgrita"s pale-faced,
meek-looking women, strong, laughing
children, and anciouA, earnest-eyed
men. Many were the cries of aston
ishment and of cooimiseration which
arose from them when they perceived
the youth of one of the strangers and
tho destitution of the other. Their
escort did not halt, however, but
pushed on, followed by a great crowd
of Mormons, until they reached a wag
on which was conspicuous for its great
size, and for the gaudiness and smart
ncbS of its appea ranee. Six horses wero
yoked to it, whereas tho others were
furnished with two, or, at most, four
apiece. Beside the driver there sat a
man who could not have been more
than thirty years of age. but whose
massive head and resolute expression
marked him as a leader. He was lead
ing m brown-backed volume, but as the
crowd approached he laid it asido and
listened attentively to an account of
the episode. Then he turned to the
two castaways.
"If we take you with us," he said, in
solemn words, "it can only be as be
lievers in our own creed. We shall
have no wolves in our fold. Better far

that your bone should bleach In this
wilderness tha.n that you should prove
to be that little speck of decay which
in time corrupts the whole fruit. Will
you come with us on these terms?"
"Guess 1 11 come with you on any
terins," sail Fcrrier, with such em
phasis that the grave elders cv.ild not
restrain a smile. Ths leader alone re
tained bis stern, impressive expression.
"Take him. Brother Stangcrvon." he
said, "give him food and drink, and the
child likewise. Let it be your task al
so to teach him our holy creed. We
have delayed long enough. Forward!
Gn. on to Zion!"
"On, on to Zion!" cried the cowd of
Mormons, and the wor.U rippled down
the long caravan, passing from mouth
to month until they died away In &
dull murmur in the far distance. With
a cracking of whips and a creaking of
wheels the great wagon got into mo
tion, and soon the whole caravan was
winding along once more. Tho elder
to whose care the two waifs had been
committed led them to his wagon,
where a meal was already awaiting
them.
"You shall remain here, he said.
"In a few dayvyou will have recov
ered from your fatigues. In the mean
time, remember that now and forever
you ore of our religion. Brigham Young
has said it, and he has spoken with the
voice of Joseph Smith, "which is the
voice of God."
