And how liare I .. neglected it?" asked Ferrier, tJnowing out his hands .la expostulation. "Ilave I not given to the common fund? Ilave I not at tended at the temple? Ilave I net" "Where are your wives?" asked Yfsoagi looking rotmd him; "Call tnem in, that I may greet tTiem." "It ia true that I have not married," Ferrier- answers i. "Bat woman were few, . and there weremahy who had better ela'ms than I. I wai not a lone ly man; I had , my daughter to attend to my wants." "It is of that daughter that I would speak to you," said tha leader of the Mormons. "She has grown to be the flower of Utah and has found favor in the eyes of many wlio are high ia the land." " John Ferrier groaned internally. ."There are stories' of her vhieh I would fain disbelieve stories that she is sealed to some Gentile. , This must be the gossip of idle tongues. What is the thirteenth rule in the code of the sainted Joseph Smith? 'Let every maid en of the true faith marry one of the elect; for if she wed a Gentile she com mits a grievous sin.' This being so it is impossible that youT who profess the holy creed, should suffer your daughter to violate it." ' - J ohn Ferrier made no answer, but he played nervously with his riding whip. "Upon this one point your whole faith shall be tested so it has been decided in the sacred council of four. The girl is young, and we would not have her wed gray hairs; neither would we deprive her of all choice. We elders have many heifers Ileber C. Kimball, in one of his sermons, alludes' to hia hundred wives under this endearing epithet, but our children must also be provided. Stangerson has a son, and Drebber bas a son, and either of them would gladly welcome your daughter to their bouse. Let her choose be tween them. Tbey are young and rich, and of the true faith. What say you to that?" Ferrier remained silent for some little time, with his brows knitted. "You will give us time," he said, at last. "My daughter is very young she is scarce of an age to marry." "She shall have a month to choose," said Young, rising from his seat. -'-'At the end of that time she shall give hex answer." lie was passing turougn the aoor. when he turned, with flushed face and flashing eyes. "It were better forvou. John Ferrier," he thundered, "that you and she were now lying blanched skel etons upon the Sierra Blanco, than that you should put your weak wills against the orders of the Holy Four!" With a threatening gesture of his ffand he turned from the xloor. and Ferrier beard his heavy step scrunch ing1 along the shingly" path. Lie was still sitting with his elbows upon nis knees, considering how he should broach the matter to his daugh ter, when a soft hand was laid upon his, and locking up he caw her stand ing beside him. One glance at her pale, frightened face showed him that she had heard what had passed. "I could not help it," she said, in an swer to his look. "LTis voiee ranjj through the house. O father, father, what shall we do?" "Don't you scare yourself," he an swered, drawing her to him, and pass ing his broad, rough hand caressingly over her chestnut hair. "We'll fix it up somehow or another. You don't find your fancy kind o' lessening for this chap, do you?" A sob and a squeeze of his hand were her only answer. "Xo; of course net. I shouldn't care to hear you say you did. He's a likely lad, and he's a Christian, which is mcfre than these folk here, in spite o' all their praying and preaching. There's a party starting for Nevada to-morrow, and 1 11 manage to send him a message lettin.sr him know the hole we are in. If I know anything o' that young man, he'll be back . here with a speed that would whip electro-telegraphs." Lucy laughed through her tears at herfather's description. "When he comes, he will ulvise us for the best. Bat it is for ycu that I am frightened, dear. One hetrs one hear such dreadful stories about those who oppose the prophet; something terrible always happens to them." "But we haven't opposed him yet," her father answered. "It wijl be time to look out for squalls when wo do. We have a clear month before us; at the end of that, I guess we bad best shin out Of Utah." "Leave Utah?" "That's aboat the size of it" - 'But the farm?" "We will rake a& much as we can rn money and let the rest rjo. To tell he truth, Lucy, it isn't the first time I have thought of doing it. I" don't care about knuckling' under to any man, as these folk do to their darned prophet. I'm a free-bom American, and it's all new to. me. Gness I'm too old to learn. If be comes brewsing about this farm, he. might ehancc to run up against a charge of buckshot traveling in the op posite direction." v "But they jwon't let us leave," his idatigher objected; "Wait tiU JeiJerson comes, and we'll Boon manage that. In the meantime, don't you fret yourself, my dearie, and don't get your eyes swelled up, else he'll be walking into-me when he sees you. There's nothing- to be afeard about and there's no danger at all. John Ferrier uttered these consoling remarks in a' very confident tone, but she could not help: observing that he paid unusual care to the fastening1 of the doors that night, and that he care fully cleaned and: loaded, the rusty old . Bhotgun which, hung, upon, the, wall of Jus bedroom. , - ' C ' - s - , .- - : CHAPTER TV. -, V- , " a rusm fob ure -T ' -On the morning1 which' followed interview : with -the Mormon prophet. John Ferrier went into Salt Lake Jlty, and having- found "his acquaintance, who wad bound for the Nevada moun tains, he-intrusted him with hia mes sage' to Jefferson Hope, -in it he told the younff man of the imminent dan ger which threatened them, and how necessary it was that he should return." Having done thus, he felt easier in hia mind, and returned home with a light er heart. " - As he approatfhed his farm, he was surprised to see a horse hitched to each of the posts of the gate. Still more surprised waa he on entering1 to find two young men in' possession of his sitting-room.' One, with a long, pale face, was leaning back, in the rocking-chair, with his feet cocked upon the "stove. The' other,: a bnllr necked youth. with coarse, bloated fea tures, . was standing in front of the .window, with hi3 hands in his pockets, whistling1 a popular, hymn. Both of them nodded to Ferrier as be entered, J jnd the one in the roeking-chair com menced the conV-rsatioh. MMaybe,you don't knqw us," he said. "This here Is the Eorrof Elder Drebber, and I'm Joseph Stangerson, who trav eled with you in the desert when the Lord stretched but His hand and gath ered you into the true fold." "As He will all the nations in His own good time," said the other, in a nasal voice; "lis gTindcth slowly but-) exceeding small." John Ferrier bowed coldly. Ho had guessed who his visitors were. "We have come," continued Stanger son, "at the advice of our fathers, to solicit the hand of your daughter for whichever of U3 may seem good to you and to her. A3 I have but four wives and Brother Drebber here has seven, it -appears to me that" my claim is the stronger one. e "Xay, nay, Brother Stangerson," cried the other; "the question is not how many wives we have, but how many we can keep. My father has now given over his4nills to me, and I am the richer man." "But my prospects are bettor," said the other, warmly. "When the Lord TZTEr.-E AT.I3 TWO WAYS OUT OF TII3 ROOM," CKIED FEP.RIE3. removes my father, I shall have his tannin-jard and his leather factory. Tiicn 1 am jour elder, and am higher in tlia church." "It will bo for the maiden tode?ide," rejoined young Drebber, srnirlring at his own roileetion in the glass. "We will leave it all to her decision." During this dialogue, John Ferrier had stood fuming in the doorway. hardly able to keep his riding-whip from" the Laeks of his two visitors. "Look here," he sail at last, strid ing up to them, "when my daughter sumaons you, you can eorno; but until then, I don't warit to see your faces again." The two young Mormons stared at him in amazement. In their eyes this competition between them for the maiden's hand was the highest of honors both to her and "her father. "There arc two ways out of the room," cried Ferrier: "there is the door, and there i3 tho window. Yi'hich do yon care to uie?" His brown face looked so savage, and his gaunt hands so -threatening, that his visitors sprang to their feet and beat a hurried retreat. Th old farmer followed them to the door. "Let me know when you have settled which it is to be," he said tiarionicallv. "You shall smart for this!" St&iiger son cried, white with rage. "You have defied the prophet and the coun cil of four. You shall rue it to the end of your days." "The hand of the Lord shall be heavy upon- you," cried young Dreb ber; "lie will arise and smite you!" "Then' I'll start the smiting," ex claimed Ferrier furiously, and would have rushed upstairs for his gun had not Lucy seized him by the arm and restrained him. Beforo he cculd escape from her, the clatter of horse's hoofs told him thai they were beyond his reach, "The young canting rascals!" he ex claimed wiping the perspiration from his forehead, "I would sooner see you in your grave, my girL than the wife of fither of them." " "And so should I, father,'' she'an Lswered, - with spirit; "but Jefferson will soon be here." . . ': ''Yes. It will not be long before he comes. The sooner the better, for we do not know what their next move may be." It was. indeed, high time that some one capable of giving advice and help should come to the aid of the sturdy old farmer and his adopted daughter! In the whole history of the settlement there had never been such a case of rank disobedience to the authority of the elders." If minor errors were pun ished so 6ternly, what would be the fate of this arch rebel? Ferrier knew that his wealth and position would be of no avail to him. Others as- well known and as rich as himself had been spirited away before now, and their goods, given, over to the church. He was 'a brave man, but he trembled at the -vague; shadowy" terrors which hung over him. Any known danger he could face with a firm lip, but this sus 'pense was unnerving1. r He concealed his fears from his daughter, however and affected to make light of the whole matter, though she, with the keen . eye . of love, saw plainly that he-' was ill- at ease.. -- - He expected that he would receive isms tvSliU some message or remonstrance from ifoung" as to ibis cWducT, and .bbwaa not . mistaken, though., -ft came in an unlooked-for manner r ' Upon rising next mornin j : he : found to Ms sur prise, a small square of "-paper pinned jya. to the ooverlefc-of hia bed, just "over tus chest.

How this warning" came into hia room .puzzled . John Ferrier sorely, lor his servants slept in an outhouse, and the doors and windows had all been se cured, lie crumpledthe paper up and said nothing to his daughter, but the incident struck a chill into hfa heart. The twenty-nine days were evidently the balance of the month which Young had promised. What strength or cour age could avail against Van enemy armed with such mjsteriou? powersi The hand which fastenedV that- pin might have. sruk-rfcit-the heart, and he could JTer hAVf43cu,own "whe had slain him. . v : Still moM shaken was he nest morn iug. Tbey had " sat down to their breakfast wb,sn Luey, with a cry of surprise, pointed upward. In the cen ter of the ceiling was scrawled, with o burned stick, apparently, the number 23. Tar his daughter it was unin telligible, and ho did not enlighten her. That night he sat up with his gun and kept watch and ward. He saw and heard nothing, and yet in the morning a great 27 had been painted upon the outside of his door. Thus day followed day; and as sure as morning came he found that his un seen enemies had kept their register, and had marked up in some conspicu ous position how many days were still left to him out of the month of grace. Sometimes the fatal numbers appeared upon the walls, sometimes upon the floors; occasionally they were on small placards stuck upon the garden-gate or the railings. . Vv'ith all his vigilance John Ferrier could not discover whence these daily warnings proceeded. "A horror, which was almost supersti tious, came upon him at the sight of them. He became haggard and rest less, and his eyes had the troubled look of some haunted creature. He had but one hope in life now, and that was for the arrival of the young hunter from Nevada. Twenty had changed to fifteen, and fifteen to tea; but there was no news of the absentee. . One by one the num bers dwindled down, and still there came no sign of him. Whenever a horseman clattered down the road or a driver shouted at his team, the oTl farmer hurried to the gate, think' ng that help h?.d arrived at last. At last, when he Raw Gve givc way to four and that again to three, he lost heart, and j abandoned all hope of escape. Single handed, and with his limited klowledge of the mountains vvich surrounded the settlement, he knew that he was pow less. The uero frequented od.T were Etrictly watched and guarded, and none could pass along them without an order from the council. Turn which way Jic would, there appeared to be no avoiding the blow which hung orcr him. Yet the old man never wavered in his resolution to part with life itsell oeiore ne consenteu to v.nat lie re garded a3 his daughter's dishonor. Tie was sitting alone one evening pondering deeply over his troubles, and tearching vainly for some way out of them. That morning had shown the figure 2 upon the wall of his house, and the next day would be tho last of the allotted time. What was to happen then? All manner of vague and terrible fancies filled his imagina tion. And his daughter what was t o become cf her after he was gone? Was there no escape from the invisi ble network which was drawn all round them? ife sank hia head upoa the table and sobbed at the thought of hia own impotence. What was that? In the silence he heard a gentle scratching sound low. but very distinct, in the qniet of the j night. It came from the door of the house. Ferrier crept into the hall and listened intently. There was a pause for a few moments, and ttven tar low, insid'ous sound was repeated. Some one was evidently tapping very genth upon one of the panels of the door Was it some midnightissascin whe had come to carry out the murderous order of the secret tribunal? Or was it some agent who was marking up that the last day of grace had err. red.' John Ferrier felt that instant death would be better than the suspense which shook hi3 nerves and chilled hia heart. Springing forward, he drewthe bolt and threw the door open. Outside all was calm and quiet. The night was fine, and the star3 were -twinkling brightly . overhead. Tho little" front "garden 'lay before the farmer's eyes, bounded by the fence end gate; but neither there nor on the road was anyjvnroan being to be seen. With a sigh of relief Ferrier looked to right and to left, until happening to glance straight down at hi3 own feet ho saw to his astonisJiment a man lying fiat upon his face upon the ground, with arms and legs all asprawl. So unnerved was he at the sight that he leaned xkj against the wall with his band to bis throat to stifle his in clination to call out. His first thought was that the prostrate figure was that of some wounded cr dying man, but as he watched it he saw it writhe along the ground and into the hall with the rapidity and noiselecsness of a serpent. Once within the" house" the man sprang to hi3 feet, closed the door and re vealed to the astonished -farmer the fierce and resolute expression of Jeffer- "Good God!" gasped John Ferrier. "How you scared me! Whatever made you come In like that? "Give me food, the other said, hoarsely "I have had no time for bit or 6up for eight-and-f ortjT hours. He flung himself upon the cold 'meat and bread which were still lying upoa-the table from his 'host's supper, and de voured it voraciously. - ."13008 vLacy bear up well?" he asked, when he had satisfied his hunger. 1 - V - - "Yes..

Heeizcd the young man's leathery hand and wrung It cordially. ."You're aman to be proud of," he said. There are not many who would come to share our danger and our troubles." "You've hit it there, pard," the young hunter answered. "I have a renpect for you, but if you were alone In this business I'd think twice before I put my head into such a hornets1 nest. If s Lucy that brings roe here, and be fore harm comes on her I guess there will be one less o' tho Hope family in Utah." "What are we to dor ' "To-morrow Is yoar last day, and un less you aot to-night you are lost. I have a mule and two hcrses waiting in the Eagle ravine. How much money have yuu?" "Two thousand dollars in gold, and five in notes." "Thit will do. I have as much more tc add to it. Wc must push for Carson City through .he mountains. You had best wake Lucy. It is as well that the serv ants do not slep in the house." While Ferrier waa atTscnt preparins his daughter for the approachin? jour ney, J efferson Hope packed all tho cat ables that he could find into a small parcel, and filled a stoneware 1ar with water, for he knew by experience that the mountain wells were few and far between. He had hardlv completed his arrangements before the farmer re turned with his daughter all drewed j and ready for a start. The greeting between the lover3 was warm but brief. I for minutes were precious, and there was much to be done. i "We must make our start at once," said Jefferson Hop;, speaking in a low but resolute voice, like ono who realizes the greatness of the peril, but has steeled his heart to meet it. "The front and back entrances are watched. bat with caution wo may get away through tho side window and across the'flelds. Once on the road, we are 6nly two miles from the ravine where the horses are waiting. By d.iybrcak we should bo half way through the mountains." "What if we are stopped?" asked Ferrier. Hope slapped the revolver butt which protruded from th? front of hU tunic "If thoy are too many for u-. shall take two or threo of them with u" he said with a sinister smile. The lisrht3 inside the hoa35 had all been extinguished, and from the dar'.t end window Ferrier peered over tho fields which ha 1 been hi, own, and , which he ww now about t.a aban don forever. He hal lonj uervcl him self to tae sas.-idce, however, and the thought of tho honor and happiness of his daughter outweighed any regret at his raised fortunes. AU looka.l sc peaceful and happy, the rustliT trees and the broa.l, silent stretch of grain land, that it was diGcuit to realize that the rplrit of murder lurked throajh it all. Yet the white face and set expression of the young hunter r.howed that in his approach to the Louse he bad feen enough to satisfy him upon that head. Ferrier carried the bag of gold and note. JeHcr3on Hope ha 1 the scanty provisions and water, while Lucy hud the KmaU bundle containing a few of her more valued possessions Opening the window very slowlv and carefully, they waited until a dark cloud had somewhat obscured the niht. and then one by one, passed through into the little garden. With bated breath and crouching figures they stumbled across it and gainsd the shjlter of the hedge, which they skirted until they came to the gap which opened into the cornfield. They had ju3t reached this point when the young man seized his two companions and draggcl them down into the shadow, where they lay silent and trembling. It was as well that his prairie tralS Ing had given Jefferson Hope the e.-n of a lynx. lie snd his friends ha hardly crouched rfown before the mtl ancholy hooting of a mountain cut was heard within s few yards of them, which waa immediately answered by another hoot at a small distance. A1 the same moment a vague, shadows figure emerged from the gap for which they had been making, and uttered the plaintive signal cry again, on which a second man appeared out of the ob scurity. "To-morrow at midnight," said the first, who appeared to bs in authority. 'When tho whlppoorwill calls threa times." "It Is well, returned the other. "Shall I tell Brother Drebber?" "Pass it on to him, and from him tc the others. Nine to seven!" "Seven to fiver' repeated the other, and the fiwo figures flitted away ia different directions. Their concluding words had evidently been some form oi sign and countersign. The in&tant that their footsteps had died away in the distance, Jefferson nope sprang to his feet, and, helping his compauions through the gap, led the way across the fields at fall speed, supporting and half-carrying the girl when her strength appeared to fail her. "ncrry on! hurry on!" he gasped from time to time. Wc are through the line of sentinels. Everything de pends on speed.
