rapid progress. Only once did they
meet anyone, and then they managed to
6lip into a field and so avoid recogni
tion. Before reaching the town "the
hunter branched away into a rugged
and narrow footpath which led to the
mountains. Two dark, jagged peaks
loomed above them through the, dark
ness, and the defile which led between
them was the Eagle canyon in which
the horses were awaiting them. With
unerring instinefe Jefferson Hope
picked his ay among the great
bowlders and along the bed ofa dried
up water-course, until he came the
retired corner, screened with rocks,
where the faithful animals had beea
: 1 a ,1 rri ,
pioacutecu xjio gin was piacea upon
the mule, and old Ferrier5 upon one of
the horses, with his mraey-bag, while
Jefferson Hope led the other, along the
precipitous and dangerous paths.
It was a bewildering route for any
one who was not accustomed to face
Nature in her wildest moods. On the
one side a great crag towered np a
thousand feet or more, black, stern and
menacing, with long basaltic columns
upon its rugged surface like the ribs
of some petrified monster. On the
other hand a wild chaos of bowlders
and debris ma3e all advance impossi
ble. Jietween tne two ranxne irregu
lar track, so narrow in places that
they had to travel in Indian file, and so
rough that only practiced riders could
have traversed it at all. Yet, in spite
of all dangers and difficulties, the hearts
of the fugitives were light within them,
for every step increased the distanCa
between them and the terrible despot
ism from which they were flying.
They soon had a proof, however,
that they were still in the jurisdiction
of the Saints. They had reached the
very wildest and most desolate portion
of the pass when the girl gave a'
startled cry and pointed upward. On
a rock which overlooked the track,
showing out dark and plain .against
the sky, there stood a solitary sentinel.
He saw them as soon as they perceived
him, and his military challenge of
"Who goes there?" rang through the
silent ravine.
"Travelers for Nevada," said Jef
ferson Hope, with his hand upon the
rifle which hung by his saddle.
They could see the lonely watcher
fingering his gun, and peering down
at them as if dissatisfied with their reply-
"I5y whose permission?" he asked.
"The Holy Four," answered Ferricr.
His Mormon experiences had taught
him that that was the highest authority
to which he could refer.
"Xine from seven," cried the senti
nel. "Seven from five," returned Jeffer
son Hope promptly, remembering the
countersign which he had heard in the
garden.
"Pass, and the Lord go with yon,"
said the voice from above. Beyond
this post the path broadened out, and
the horses were able" to break into a
trot. Looking back, they could see
the solitary watcher leaning upon his
gun, and knew that they had" passed
the outlying post of the chosen people,
and that freedom lay before them.

ever, they were up and on their way
once more. They had seen no signs of
any pursuers, and Jefferson Hope be
gan to think that theywere fairly out
of the reach of the terrible organiza
tion whose enmity they had incurred.
He little knew how far that Iron grasp
could reach, or bow soon it was to
close upon them and crush them.
About the middle of the second day
ofsthe flight their scanty store.of pro
visions began to run out. This gave
the hunter little uneasiness, however,
for there was game to be had among
the mountains, and he had frequently
before hadj depend upon his rifle for
the needs of life. Choosing a shel
tered nook, he piled together a few
dry branches -and .made a blazing tire,
at which his companions might warm
themselves, for they" were now nearly
five thousand feet above the sea level,
and the air was bitter and keen. Hav
ing tethered the horses and bade Lucy
adieu, he threw his gun over his
shoulder and set out in search of
whatever ehance might throw in his
way. Looking back, he saw the old
man and the young girl crouching over
the blazing fire, while the three ani
mals stood motionless in the back
ground. Then the intervening rocks
hid them from his view.
He walked for a couple of miles J
through one ravine after another with-

speedily reveredomW8 temporary
impotence. Seizing a J half -consumed
piece of , wood from the 6 mouldering
fire, he blew It in to. a flame, and pro

little camp. The ground p was all
stamped down by the feet'of; horses
showing that a large party of mounted
men. had overtaken the fugitives, and
the direction of x their fjaejcs proved
that they had afterward turned back
to Salt Lake City. -Had they carried
back both of his . companions with
them? Jefferson Hope had almost per
suaded himself ' that they. Attsthave
done bo, when his eye fell np-nan "ob
ject which made every nerve of his
body tingle within him. A little way
on one side of the camp was a low-
lying head of reddish soil, which had
assuredly not been there before. There
was no mistaking it for anything but a
newly-dug grave. As the young hunter
approached it. he perceived that a stick
bad been planted on it, with a sheet of
paper stuck in the cleft fork of it. The
inscription upon the paper was brief,
but to the point:

CHAPTER V.
TKS AVENGING ANGE1A
All night their course lay through in
tricate defiles and over irregular and
rock-strewn paths. More than once
they lost their way, but Hope's iuti-

mate knowledge of the mountains en
abled them to regain the track once
more. When morning broke, a scene
of marvelous though savage beauty
lay before them In every direction
the great snow-capped peaks hemmed
them in, peeping over each other's
shoulders to the far horizon So steep
were the rocky banks on either side of
thcin "that the larch and the pine
seemed to be suspended over their
heads, and to need only a gust of wind
to come hurtling down upon them.
Nor was the fear entirely an illusion,
for the barren valley was thickly
strewn with, trees and bowlders whicn
had fallen in a similar manner. Even
is they passed, a great rock came thiin
dering down' with a hoarse rattle which
woke the echoes in the Silent gorges,
and startled the weary horses into a
cr&llot. - :
As ; the sun rose- slowly above the
eastern horizon, the caps of the great
mountains lit Jhp-one. after the other,
like' lamps at a festival, until- they
were all ruddy and glowing. - The mag
nificent spectacle cheered : the hearts
iV the three fugitives and gave them
fresh energy. At a wild torrent which
swept out of a ravine they called a
halt and watered " their horses, while
they partook of a hasty breakfast.
Lucy and her : father would fain have
rested longer, but Jefferson Hope was
inexorable. "They - will be : upon our
track bv this time," he said. "Every
thiner depends upon our speed. Once
safe in Carson, we may rest for the re
mainder of our lives. -
During the whole rof i that day they
-Struggled on through the defiles, and
by evening they calculated that they

enemies, , At nighj, time they chose

out success, though from the marks
upon the trees, and other indications,
he judged that there were numerous
bears in the vicinity. At last, after
two or three hours' fruitless search, he
was thinking of turning back in de
spair, when, casting his eyes up
ward, he saw a sight which sent a
thrill of pleasure through his heart.
On the edge of a jutting pinnacle,
three cr four hundred feet above him.
there stood a creature somewhat re
sembling a sheep in appearance, but
armed with a pair of gigantic horns.
The big-norn. for so it is called was
acting, probably, as a guardian over a
flock which were invisible to the hun
ter; but fortunately it was heading in
the opposite direction, and had r.ot pcr
ceived him. Lyipg on his back, he
rested his rifle upon a rock, and took a
long and steady aim before drawing
the trigger. The animal sprang into
the air, tottered for a moment upon
the edge of the precipice, and then
came crashing down into the valley
beneath.
The creature was too unwieldy to
lift, so the hunter contented himself
with cutting away one haunch ar.d a
part of the flank. With this trophy
over his shoulder, he hastened to re
trace his steps, for the evening, was al
ready drawing in. He had hardly
started, however, before he realized
the difficulty which faced him. In his
eagerness he had wandered far past
the ravines which were known to him,
and it was no easy matter to pick out
the path which he had taken. The val-
ey in which he found himself divided
and subdivided into many gorges,
which were so like each other that it
was impossible to distinguish one from
the other.. He followed one for a mile
or more until he came to a mountain
torrent which he was sure that he had
never seen befoce. Convinced that he
ha taken the wrong turn, he tried
another, but with the same result.
Night was coming on rapidly, and it
was almost dark before he again found
himself in a defile which was familiar
to him. Even then it was no easy mat
ter to keep on the right track. Tor the
moon had not yet risen, and the high
cliffs on either side made the obscurity

tions, be stumbled along," keeping ujj

that he carried with him enough tojn.
sure them food for the remainder of
their journey. .
He had now come to the mouth of.
the very defile in which he had left
them. Even in the darkness he could
recognize the outlines of the- cliff a
-which bounded it. They must, he re
flected, be awaiting him anxiously, for
he had been absent nearly five hours.
Jn the gladness of his beart he put his
hands to his month and made the glen
reecho to a loud hallo as a signal that
he was coming. He paused and listened
for an answer. None came -save , his
own cry, which clattered up the dreary,
silent jfa vines, and was borne back "to
his ears in countless repetitions. Again
he shouted, even louder than before,
and again no whisper came back from
the friends whom he had left such a
short time ago. A vague, "nameless
dread came over him, and he hurried
onward 'frantically, dropping the pre
cious food in hisagtion,
When he turned the corner, he came
full in sight of. the spot wn-sre the fire
had been lit, JThere was still a glow
ing pile of wood-ashes there, but it had
evidently not been tended since his de
parture. The same dead silence stiU
reigned all -round. ; 'I With; his fears
changed to convictions, he hurried on.
There was no living creatnro near the
remains of the .'fire; animals,, man,
maiden, all were gone. " It was only
too clear that some sudden and terrible
l4asaster had" occurred during: feis. ab
The sturdy old man, whom he had
left so short a time before, was gone,
then, and this was all his epitaph
Jefferson Hope looked wildly round to
see if there was a second grave, but
there was no sign of one. Lucy had
been carried back by their terri
ble pursuers to fulfill her original
destiny, by becoming one of the harem
of the elder's son. As the young fel
low realized the certainty of her fate
and his own powerlessness to prevent
it, he wished that he, too, was lying
with the old farmer in his last silent
resting place.
Again, however, his active spirit
shook off the lethargy which springs
from despair. If there was nothing
else left to him, he could at least de
vote his life to revenge. With indom
itable patience and perseverance, Jef
ferson Hope possessed also a power of
sustained vindictiveness, which he may
have learned from the Indians among ,
whom he had lived. As he stood by !
the desolate fire ha felt that the only j
thing which could assuage his grief
would be thorough and complete retri
bution brought by his own hand upon
his enemies. His stronrr-will and un- '
tiring energy should, he determined,
bs devoted to that one end. With a
grim, white faco he retraced his steps
to where he had dropped the food, and
having stirred up the smouldering fire,
he cooked enough to last him for a few
days. This he made up into a bundle,
and, tired as he was, he cet himself to
walk back through the mountains upon
the track of the avenging an;jcls.
For five da?s he toiled, footsore and
weary, through the dcllles which he
had already traversed on horseback.
At night he flung himself down among
the rocks and snatched a few hor.rs of
sleep, but before daybreak he was al
ways well on his way. On the sixth
day he reached the Eagle canyon, from
which they had commenced their ill
fated flight. Thence he could look
down upon the horaa ofthe Saints.
Worn and exhausted, he leaned upon
his rifle and shook his gaunt hand
fiercely at the silent, widespread city
beneath him. As he looked at it he
observed that there were flags in some
of the principal streets and other
s.'gns of festivity. He was still specu
lating as to what this mighty mean
when he heard the clatter of horse's
hoofs ind saw a mounted man riding
toward him. As he approached he
recognized him as a Mormon named
Cowper, to whom he had rendered
services at different times. lie there
fore accosted him when he got up to
him, with the object of finding out
what Lucy Fcrrier's fate had been.
"I am Jefferson Hope," he said.
"You remember me."
The Mormon looked at him with un
disguised astonishment indeed, it was
difficult to recognize in this tattered, un
kempt wanderer, with ghastly face and
fierce, wild eyes, the spruce young I
hunter of former days. Having, how
ever, at last satisSed himself as to his
identity, the man's surprise changed to
consternation.
"You are mad to come here," he
cried. "It is as much as my own life
is ' worth to be seen talking with you.
There is a warrant against yon from
the Holy Four for assisting the Fer
riersaway.. -don't fear them or their warrant,"
Hope said, earnestly. "You must know
something of this matter. Cowper I
conjure yon by all johold dear to an
swer a few-questions. We have al
ways been friends. For God's sake
rloT't r"- hdrwm- mf."
' "What is it?w the Mormon asked un
easily. "Be quick. The very rocka
have cars-and the trees eyes." '
"What has become of Lucy Ferrler?"
"She was married yesterday to young
Drebber. Hold np. man, hold up, yon
have no life left in yon."
"Don't mind me,? said Hope, faintly.
He was white to the very lips, and had
sunk down on the btone against which
he had been leaning. "Mairiedj yott
say?" ' v; '-' ' " ' ''
"Married yesterday that's what
those flags are for on the Endowment
house. . There , was some words be
tween young Drebber and young
Stangerson as- to which was to have
her. They'd both been in the party
that foUowed them,- and , Stangerson
had shot her father, which seemed to
give him the best claim; but when
they argued It out In council Drebbe

won't have her very long, though, for

"Where are you going?"

slinging his weapon over his shoulder.
he.strodo oU. down the gorge and so
away into'the heart of the mountains to
the haunts of the wild beasts. Among
them all there was none so fierce and
so dangerous as himself.
The prediction of the Mormon was
only too well fulfilled. Whether it was
the terrible death of her father or the
effects of the hateful marriage Into
which she had been forced, poor Lucy
never held up her head again, but
pined away and died within a month.
Her sottish husband, who had married
her principally for the sake of John
Fcrrier's property, did not affect any
great grief at his bereavement; but
his other wives mourned over her, and
sat up with her the night before the
burial, as is the Mormon custom. They
were grouped round the bier in the
early hours of the morning, when, to
their inexpressible fear and aston
ishment, the door wai flung open.
and a savage-looking, weather
beaten mai in tattered gar
ments strode into the room. With
out a glance or a word to the cowering
women he walked up to the white, si
lent figure which had once contained
the pure soul of Lucy Ferrier. Stooping
over her he pressed his lips reverently
to her cold forehead, and then snatch
ing up hor hand he took the wedding
ring from her finger. "She shall net
b buried in that," he cried, with a
fierce snarl, and before an alarm could
be raised 6prang down the stairs and
was gone. So strange anTTso brief was
the-episode that the watchers might
have found it hard to believe it them
selves or persuade other people of it,
had It not been for the nndeniable fact
that the circlet of gold which marked
her as having been a bride bad disap
peared.

HE WALKED CF TO TUT. WHITE, SIT-EXT
FIGURE.
In his heart the fierce desire for ven
geance that possessed him. Talea
were told in the city of the weird
figure which was seen prowling about
the suburbs, and which haunted the
lonely mountain gorges. Once a bul
let whistled through Stangerson a
window and flattened itself upon the
wall within a foot of him. On another
occasion, as Drebber passed under a
cliff, a great bowlder crashed down on
him. and he only escaped a terrible
death by throwing himself upon his
face. . The two young Mormons were
not long in discovering the reason of
these attempts upon their lives, and
led repeated expeditions into the
mountains in the hope of capturing or
killing their enemy, but always with
out success. Then they adopted the
precaution of never going out alone or
after nightfall, and of having their
houses guarded. After a time they
were able to relax these measures, for
nothing was either heard or seen of
their opponent, and they hoped that
time had cooled his vindictiveness.
Far from doing so, it had, if any
thing, augmented it Tbe hunter's mind
was of a hard, unyielding nature, sod
the predominant k sa of revenue hid
taken such complete possession of it
that tlit re uu uo rouiu lor aay other
emotion. He wan. however, above all
things practical. He soon realized that
even, bis iron constitution could not
stand the incessant strain which he was
nutting upon iL Exposure and want of"
wholesome food were wearing him out
If he died like a dog among the moun
tains, what was to become of U's re
venge then? And yet such a death
was sure to overtake him If 'he per
sisted. He felt that that was to play
bis enemy's game, so he reluctantly
returned to the old Nevada mines,
there to recruit blshealth and to amass
money enough to aUow. him to pursue
his object without privation..
