There were some who accused him
of lukewarmness in his adopted relig

Whatever the reason. Ferrler re
mained strictly celibate. In every

As year succeeded to year she grew

Many a wnyf.irer upon the high road

as he watched her lithe, girlish figure
tripping through the whe.it fields, or
met her mounted upon her father's
mustang, and managing it with all the
ease and grace of a true child of the
West.
So the bud blossomed into a flower
and the year which saw her father the
richest of the farmers left her as fair
a specimen of American girlhood as
could be found In the whole Pacific
slope.

Accustomed as Bbe wns to deal with

situation, but took advantage of everv

the hope of flushing her way through
the cavalcade.
Unfortunately, the horns of one of
the creatures, either hy accident or

the flank of the mustang, and excited
It to madness.
In an Instant It reared upon Its
hind legs with a snort of rage, and
pranced and tossed in a way that
would have unseated any but a most
skillful rider.
The stuation was full of peril.
Every plunge of the excited horse
brought It against the horns again,
and goaded It to fresh madness.
It was all that the girl could do to
keep herself In the saddle, yet a slip
would mean a terrible death tinder the

"Neither would I," said her com

The young hunter's dark face grew
so gloomy over this remark that Lucy
Ferrler laughed aloud.
"There. I didn't mean that." she
said; "of course, you are a friend
now. You must come and see us.
Now I must push along, or father
wont trust me with his business any

"Good-bye." he answered, raising his
brond sombrero, and bending over her
little hand.
She wheeled her mustang round,

darted away down the broad road in

Then she walked back to the house,

CHAPTER III.
Three weeks had passed since Jef
furson Hope and his comrades had
departed from Salt Lake City.
John Ferrier's heart was so-e
within him when he thought of the
young man's return and of the im
pending loss of his adopted child.
Yet her bright and happy face re
conciled him to the arrangement more
than any argument could have done.
He had always determined, deep down
In his resolute heart, that nothing
would ever Induce him to allow his
daughter to wed a Mormon.
Such a marriage he regarded as no
marriage at all, but as a shame and a
disgrace. Whatever he might think
of the Mormon doctrines, upon that
one point he was Inflexible.
He had to seal his mouth on the
subject, however, for to express an
un-orthodox opinion was a dangerous
matter In those days in the Land of
the Saints.
Yes, a dangerous matter so dan
gerous that even the most saintly
dared only whisper their religious
opinions with bated breath, lest some
thing which fell from their lips might
me misconstrued and bring down a
swift retribution upon them.
The victims of persecution had now
turned persecutors on their own ac
count, and persecutors of the most
terrible description.
Not the Inquisition of Seville, nor
the German Vehmgerlcht, nor the se
cret societies of Italy, were ever able
to put a more formidable machinery
In motion than that which cast a
cloud over the Territory of Utah.
Its Invisibility and the mystery
which was attached to it made this
organization doubly terrible. It ap
peared to be oninlscent and omnipo
tent, and yet was neither seen nor
heard.
The man who held out against the
Church vanished away, and none
knew whither he hd gone or what
had befallen him. His wife and chil
dren awaited him at home, but no
father ever returned to tell them how
he had fared at the hands of his secret
judges.
A rash word or a hasty act was fol
lowed by annihilation, and yet none
knew what the nature might be of
this terrible power which was sus
pended over them.
At first this vague and terrible pow
er was exercised only upon the recal
citrants, who, having embraced the
Mormon faith, wished afterward to
pervert or to abandon It. Soon, how
ever, it took a wider rnne.

"I am off, Lucy," he said, taking her

"And when will that be?" she asked,
blushing and laughing.
"A couple of months at the outside.
I will come and tlatm you then, my

"And how about father?" she asked.
"He has given his consent, provided

I have no fear on that head."
"Oh, well, of course. If you and

Settling the "Tip" Question.
The awkward question of the tip was
solved by a big New Englander from
the state of Maine who was dining in a
London restaurant the other evening.
Having paid his bill, he was informed
by the waiter that what he had paid
"did not include the waiter."
"Waal," iwid the stranger, "I ate
no waiter, did I?"
And as he looked quite ready to do
to on any fuither provocation the sub
ject was dropped.
Falling Bodies.
A falling body moves at the rate of
32 feet the first eecond of its drop, at H4
feet the next, 9(1 feet third, and so on,
increasing 32 feet er second during
each second of its fall.
Apricots and Figs.
The apricot, if soaked in its own
bulk of cold water for 48 hours, is said
to be almost like fresh fruit. Fig
should be immersed in hot w.tr for ac
fer belt that moves through this re
ceiving bin. The lelt U fitted with
cups which fill tueuiHtaves as they pass
through the grain. Up, up mount these
cups on the belt until they reach the
top floor of the elevator, perhaps 100
or 170 feet above the point where thoy
are started. Here as the belt turns
in the descent the cups empty their
loads of grain Into bins which are to
hold the cereal but temporarily. With
chutes at their bottoms these tempo
rary bins are connected with the weigh
ing bins on the floor Just below. The
weigher, by a system of levers con
trolling a cutoff, draws Into the In
closed weighing bin as much wheat
as he pleases. When the yard rises In
dicating that the amount of grain for
which be gauged the scales has poured
Into the bins he cuts off the stream
and records the amount which has been

By another lever the platform of the
scales can be opened oiid the whwit
