A STUDY IN SCARLET BY A. CONAN DOYLE. PART II Chapter I Continued. . .7 girl, gleefully, pointing at their l- uuu-iieu luruis, mm napping iier nanus : gretl to make them rise.

I guess some body else made the country in these parts. It's not nearly so well done. They forgot the water and the trees." "Wht would ye think of offering up prayer?" the man asked diffidently. "It ain't night yet," she answered. "It don't matter. It ain't quite regu lar, 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 you say some yourself?" ! the child asked, with wondering eyes, i "l disremember them," he answered, i "I hain't said none since I was half the neignt o mat gun. 1 guess u 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, laing the shawl out for that purpose. "You've got to put your hands up like this. It 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 his haggard, angular visage were both turned up to the cloudless heaven in heartfelt en treaty 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 bowl der until the child fell asleep, nestling upon the broad breast of her protect or. He watched over her slumber for some time, but Nature proved to be too strong for him. For three days and three night he had allowed himself neither rest nor repose. Slowly the eyelids drooped over the tired eyes, and the head sunk lower and lower unon the breast, until the man's grizzled beard was mixed w-lth the golden tresses of his companian. and both slept the same deep and dreamless 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 alkali plain, there rose un a little spray of dust, very slight at first, and hardly to be distinguished from the mists of the distance, but gradually growing higher and broader until it formed a solid, well-defined cloud. This cloud continued to increase in size until it became evident that it could only be raised by a great multi tude of moving creatures. In more fertile spots the observer would have come to the conclusion 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 repos ing the canvas-covered tilts of wagons and the figures of armed horsemen be gan to show up through the haze, and the apparition revealed itself as being a great caravan upon its journey for the West. But what a caravan! When the head of it had reached the base of the moun tains the rear was not yet visible on the horizon. Right across the enormous plain stretched the straggling array, wagons and carts, men on horseback, and men on foot. Innumerable women who staggered along under burdens, and children who toddled beside the wag on. or peeped out from under the white coverings. This was evidently no ordinary party of immigrants, but rather some nomad people who had been compelled through stress of circumstances to seek 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 sufficient 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 sofbre homespun gar ments and armed with rifles. On reaching the base of the bluff they halted and held a short council among themselves. "The wells are to the right, my brothers," said one a hard-lipped, clean-shaven man with erizzly hair. "To the right of the Sierra Blanco bo we shall reach the Rio Grande," said another. "Fear not for water." cried a third. "He who could draw it from the rocks will not now abandon His own 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 rugged crag above the.m. From its summit there fluttered a lit tle 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 unslinging of guns, while ' fresh horsemen came galloping up to reinforce the vanguard. The word "Redskins" was on every lip. "There can't be any number of In dians 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 Stangerson?" asked one of the band. "And I," "and I," cried a dozen "Leave your horses below and will wait you here," the elder we an- practiced scouts. The watchers from the plain below could see the.m flit from rock to rock until their figures stood out against the sky-line. The young man who had first given the alarm was leading them. Suddenly his followers saw him throw up his hands, as though over come with astonishment, and on join ing him they were affected in the same way by the sight which met their eves On the little plateau which crowned the barren hill there stood a single giant bowlder, and against this bowl- ider there lay a tall man, long bearded and hard featured, but of an excessive thinness. His placid face and regular breath ing showed that he was fast asleep. Beside him lay a little child, with her white arms encircling his brown, sinewy neck, and her golden-haired head resting upon 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. Her plump little white legs, termi nating in white socks and neat shoes with shining buckles, offered a strange contrast to the long, shriveled mem bers of her companion. On the ledge of rock above this strange couple there stood three sol emn buzzards, who. at the sight of the newcomers, uttered raucous screams of disappointment and flapped sullenly away. The cries of the foul birds awoke the two sleepers, who stared about them in bewilderment. The man staggered to his feet and looked down upon the plain which had been so desolate when sleep had over taken him. and which was now trav ersed by this enormous body of men and beasts. His face assumed an expression of incridulity as he gazed, and he passed his bony hand over hi3 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 nothing, but looked all around her with the wondering, questioning gaze of childhood. 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 others supported her gaunt companion and assisted him toward the wagons. "My name is John Ferrier," the wan derer explained; "me and that little 'un are all that's left o' twenty-three people The rest is all dead o' thirst and hunger away down in the south." "Is she your child?" asked some one, "I guess she is now!" the other cried, defiantly; "she's mine 'cause 1 saved her. No man will take her away from me. She's Lucy Ferrier from this day on. Who are you, though?" he continued, glancing with curiosity at his stalwart, sunburned rescuers; "there seems to be a power ful lot of ye." "Nigh upon ten thousand," said one of the young men; "we are the perse cuted children of God tne chosen of the angel Merona." "I never heard tell on him," said the wanderer. "He appears to have chosen a fair crowd of ye." "Do not jest at that which is sa cred." said the other, sternly. "We are of those who believe in those sacred writings, drawn in Egyptian letters on plates of beaten gold, which were handed unto the holy Joseph Smith, at Palmyra. We have come from Nau voo, in the State of Illinois, where we have founded our temple. We have come to seek refuge from the violent man and from the godless, even though it be in the heart of the des ert." The name Nauvoo evldentlv re called recollections to John Ferrie'v "I see," he said, "you are the Mor mons." "We are the Mormons." answered his companions, with one voice. "And where are you going?" "We do not know. The hand of God is leading us under the person of our nrophet. You must come before him. Hf shall say what is to he done with you." They had reached the base of the hill by this time, and were surrounded by crowds of the p'lgiims pale-faced, meek-looking women, strong, laugh ing children, and anxious, earnest eyed men. Many were the cries of astonish ment and of commiseration which arose from them when they perceived the youth of one of the strangers and the destitution of the other. Their escort did not halt, however, but pushed on, followed by a great crowd of Mormons, until they reached a wagon which was conspicuous for its great size and for the gaudiness and smartness of its appearance. Six horses were yoked to it. where as the 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 reading a brown backed,vol ume. but as the crowd approachetl he laid It aside, and listened attentively to an account of the episode. Then he turned to the two casta ways. "If we take you with us," he said In solemn words, "it can only be as be lievers In our solemn creed. We shall have no wolves In our fold. Better far that your bones should bleach in this wilderness than that yon should prove to be that little speck of decay which ia time corrupts the whole fruit Will you come with us on these terms?" "O.uess I'll come with you on any terms," said Ferrler, with such em phasis that the grave elders could not restrain a smile. The leader alone re tained his stern. Impressive expres sion. "Take him. Brother Stangorson." he said; give him food and drink, and tne child likewise. Let It be your task also to teach him our holy creel. We have delayed long enough, for ward! On on to Zlon." "On on to Zion!" cried the crowd of Mormons, and the words rippled down the long caravan, passing from mouth to mouth until they died away In a dull murmur in the far distance. With a cracking of whips and a creaking of wheels the great waeon got into motion, and soon the whole caravan was winding along once more. The elder to whose care the two waifs had been committed led them to his waeon. where a meal was already awaiting them. "You shall remain here." he said. "In a few days you will have recover ed from your fatigue. In the mean time remember that now and forever you are of our religion. Brlgham Young has said It and he has? spoken with the voice of Joseph Smith, which l.i the voice of God." CHAPTER II. This is not tne place to commemor ate the trials and privations endured by the immigrant Mormons before they came to their final haven. From the shores of the Mississippi to the western slopes of the Rocky mountains they had struggled on with a constancy almost unparalleled in his tory. The savage man and tne savage beast, hunger, thirst, fatigue and dis easeevery impediment which Nature could place in the way had all been overcame with Anglo-Saxon tenacity. Yet the long journey and the accum ulated terrors had shaken the hearts of the stoutest among them. There was not one who did not sink upon his knees in heartfelt prayer when they saw the broad valley of Utah bathed in the sunlight beneath them, and learned from the Hps of their leader that this was the promised land, and that these virgin acres were to be theirs for evermore. Young speedily proved himself to be a skillful administrator as well as a resolute chiet Maps were drawn and charts pre pared, in which the future city was sketched out. All around farms were apportioned and allotted in proportion to the stand ing of each individual. The tradesman was put to his trade and the artisan to his calling. In the town streets and squares sprang up as If by magic. In the country there was draining and hedging, planting and clearing, until the next Summer saw the whole country golden with the wheat crop. Everything prospered in the strange settlement. Above all, the great temple which they had erected in the center of the city grew ever taller and larger. From the first blush of dawn until the closing of the twilight, the clatter of the hammer and the rasp of the saw was never absent from the monu ment which the immigrants erected to Him who had led them safe through many dangers. The two castaways, John Ferrier and the little girl who had shared his fortunes and had been adopted as his daughter, accompanied the Mormons to the end of their fcreat pilgrimage. Little Lucy Ferrier was borne along pleasantly enough in Elder Stanger son's wagon, a retreat which she shared with the Mormon's three wives and with his son. a headstrong, for ward boy of twelve. Having rallied, with the elasticity of childhood, from the shock caused by her mother's death, she soon became a pet with the women, and reconciled herself to this new life In her moving canvas-covered home. (To be continued.) CONTENDING FOR A PRINCIPLE. Oood Example of the Quibbles That Pro vail In Legal Practice. An English writer gives a good ex ample of those quibbles in legal prac tice that have a sort of fascination for certain minds. Some years ago, while traveling on the continent, he met the principal lawyer for the government of one of the principalities, who told him of a curious legal question. It had ref erence to a railway station at the boun dary between two principalities. Someone standing outside the window of the ticket office had put his hand through and robbed the till inside. The boundary line lay between "where the thief stood and the till, so that be was actually in one territory while the crime was committed in another. Here was a nice nut for the gentlemen learned in the law to crack. Which of the principalities should undertake the prosecution of the criminal? At it they went in good earnest, and the arguments on either side were long and vehement, till the whole cafe was embalmed in many volumes. At last one side yielded so far as to say: "We will permit you, as an act of rourtesy, to prosecute, while at the same time reserving all our sovereign rights." At this point of the recital I asked: "And how did the prosecution end'" "Ah! That is quite another matter," Faid my friend. "There wag no prose cution; we were only arranging what we should do when we caught the rob ber; but we never caught him.' Youths' Companion. The Trappists. Many letters come to the monastery announcing the death of relatives of the monks; these are seen by the abbot only, and at chapter he may simply an nounce: "The mother of one of our number ia dead; let us pray for her soul." Never to his dying day does the be reaved Trappist learn that he was pray ing for his own mother. THE PACIFIC CABLE S a result of the decision of Con-. gress to leave the building of the new tr.nis-Parltie cable to private enterprise, the work will be Immediately begun by the Commercial Pacflp Cable Company, a new concern formed on the basis of the Commercial Cable Company, which will consum mate a duplicate all-the-world-around cable. It is specifically stated that while the rutted States government does not in cur any expense or responsibility, it will have at its discretion command of all facilities. This Is particularly Im portant because the government has already gone to the expense of laying more than 700 miles of cable in the Philippine Islands. These cables were laid as a necessary strategic measure during the recent trouble there and are Intended to be a connecting link In the general system covering our posses sions. Length of the Cable. The now cable will run from San Francisco, a distance of U.413 miles, to Honolulu, thence to the Midway Isl ands and (ilium, another 'J,-'-'.'! miles, and then to Manila, another l,.'iiiO miles, enabling the company to connect with a cable to Hong King and nil points on the Asiatic continent. From Hong Kong the connections of the Commercial Pacific cable will run north up the Chinese coast, finally pass ing through Siberia to St. Petersburg, and thus completing the route through Northern Asia and Europe. From the same junction they will extend down through Slam and the Straits Settle ments, connecting with the Australian and New Zealand cables, and passing west through India to Aden, along the lied Sen and Mediterranean to Gibral tar and Lisbon, thence to the Azores, where the Commercial Cable Com pany's system has another headquar ters, extending to New York. Both the San Francisco and eastern ends of these cables will he connected with the land telegraph system of the Postal " "itiWWffr tf W'v fm LIFTING THE PACIFIC CABLE ASHORE. Telegraph Company for nil points in the United Stntes. A uniform rate of $1 a word will be charged for messages from San Francisco to Manila and China. The first section of the cable from San Francisco to Honolulu is being manufactured by the India Rubber Gutta Percha Telegraph Works Com pany, Ltd., London, England. The length is about 2,413 miles. Laying the Cable. The cattleshlp Sllverlown, owned by the manufacturers, will convey this section of the cable from Loudon to the Pacific coast via Cape Horn, where she will proceed with the laying opera tions. It Is expected to complete the entire cable from San Francisco to Ma nila by January, 11X15. The laying of the new cable will In volve searching ocean depths to possi bly as far as three miles. While the government work was being carried on In the Philippines the greatest depth reached was one and an eighth miles. The estimate is that a depth of at least three miles will be reached in cov ering the Pacific ocean. The operation of laying so many thousand miles of cable will necessar ily involve a great deal of skill, hut the difficulties which those who laid the Atlantic cables encountered have passed away, those having charge of the present work being able to carry out all details. The delicate and par ticular work, however, will be the land ing of the cable at Its objective point at Manila. The shore end conveyed by the Silvertown to this point will be lifted gently from the ship toward the land, where it will be placed In a deep trench, through which it will be con veyed to Its final land communications, thence connecting with the cable to Bong Kong. The death of John W. Mackay called attention to cable-laying projects in the Pacific. It is stated that the plans contemplated by his company will be pushed forward with all possible dis patch. The project has been delayed by the failure of the government to furnish the company with soundings taken in the Facfic. It Is expected that these soundings will soon be furnished and that the work will then be pushed to completion. Possession of the Philip pines has made the necessity of a Pa cific cable very apparent. GOATS WARD OFF DISEASE. They Should Be Kept Wherever Horse Are Kegularly Housed. "Goats are good things to keen around the stables where the hors are boused," said an old dealer In horses, "and the man who wants his horse to remain healthy will make a mistake If he does not keep a few goats around. I do not propose to go Into It Will Complete an fciec trie lilrdle About the I-arth Our Government Will Have Special Facili ties for Communicating; with Island Possessions In the Pacific. j J an analysis of the reasons, but I am In a position to state the fact, and I do It after many years of experience. I have been handling horses for more i than a quarter of a century and I have ! had occasion to observe very closely j those things which tend to benefit the , horse. Occasionally I have been with out goats and nearly every time I have been called upon to doctor one or more of my horses for some complaint pe-1 eullar to this kind of animal. When 1 . had goats around the stables to rub up against the stalls and wallow around generally sickness among my horses was a rare thing. "My attention was called to the fact a good many years ago by a innu who had spent the greater part of his Kro In the horse business. I had Just lost a couple of fine horses and I was sro.it ly grieved over the loss. I had dealt with them very carefully and. In fact, had made pets out of them. I hap pened to meet my old friend and was telling about my loss. 'Do you keep any goats around your stables?' he ask ed! I told him I did not. There is where you make a big mistake,' he said. 'Buy a few goats and turn them in the lot with your horses and let them run together. I have tried it and It Is a good plan.' I never thought much of It at the time, out I con cluded that I would try It Just for luck. It could do no harm. I bought me some goats. "Since that time I have always kept goats with my horses, and the health of my horses has been a matter of note among those who are familiar with my business. I do not pretend to say just what It is about the goat which will benefit the horse. But there Is something which acts as a great pro tection to the horse In the matter of health. I have often heard that the odor of the goat, while offensive enough to n great many persons, was a very healthy thing even for members of the human family. I guess It is the odor of the goat which benefits t!i? horse. I have often wanted to see n chemical analysis of the goat odor, so mat i might understand just what the active purifying principle was made of. It is evidently a good disinfectant of some kind. Goats are good horse doctors, and the man who wants his horses to remain healthy and vigorous should keep goats around the stable." New Orleans Times-Democrat. Book Named from the Bible.
