.PART II Chapter VContinued
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 valley In which he found him
self divided and subdivided Into
many gorges, which were to like
one another 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 before.
Night was coming on rapidly, and
It was almost dark before he at last
found himself In a deflle which was
familiar to him.
Even then it wu no easy matter
to keep to the right track, for the
moon had not yet risen, and the high
cliffs on either side made the obscur
ity more profound.
Weighed down with his burden,
and weary from bis exertions, he
stumbled along, keeping up his heart
by the reflection that every step
brought him nearer to Lucy, and that
he carried with him enough to in
sure them food for the remainder
of their Journey.
He had now -come to the mouth of
the very deflle in which be had left
them.
Even in the darkness he could rec
ognize the outlines of the cliffs
which bounded it. I
They must, he reflected, be await
ing him anxiously, for he had been
absent nearly five hours.
- In the gladness of his heart he
put his hands to his mouth and made
the glen re-echo to a loud halloo as
a signal that he was coming.
He paused and listened for an an
swer, none came save his own cry,
which clattered up the dreary, silent
ravines, and was borne back to his
ears In countless repetitions.
- Again he stouted, 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 fran
tically, dropping the precious food
in his agitation.
When he turned the corner, he
came full in sight of the spot, where
the fire had been lighted. There was
still a glowing pile of wood ashes
there, but It had evidently not been
tended since his departure,
The same dead silence still reign
ed all round. With his fears all
changed to convictions, he hurried
on. There was no living creature
near the remains of the fire; animals,
man, maiden, all were gone.
Bewildered and stunned by " this
blow, Jefferson Hope felt his head
spin round and had to lean upon his
rifle to save himself from falling.
He was essentially a man of ac
tlon, however, and speedily recovered
from his temporary Impotence,
Seizing a half consumed piece of
wood from the smouldering Are, he
blew It Into a flame, and proceeded
with its help to examine the little
camp,
The ground was all stamped down
by the feet of horses, showing that
a large party of mounted men had
overtaken the fugitives and the dl
rectlon of their tracks proved that
they had afterward turned back to
Ealt Lake City.
Had they carried back both of his
companions with them? Jefferson
Hope had almost persuaded himself
that they must have done so, when
his eye fell upon an object which
made every nerve In his body
tingle within him.
A little way on one side of the
camp was a low-lying . heap of red
dish soil, which had assuredly not
been there before.
There was no mistaking tt for any
thing but a newly dug grave. As the
young hunter approached it, be per
ceived 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:
JOHN FERRIER,
FORMERLY OF SALT LAKE CITY.
Died August 4, I860.
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 terrible pursuers to fulfill hor
original destiny by becoming one of
the harem of the elder's son.
As he stood by the desolate fire '.ie
felt that the only one thing which
could assuage his grief would be
thorough and complete retribution
brought by his own hand upon his
enemies.
His strong will and untiring energy
should, he determined, be devoted to
that one end. With a grim white fare
he retraced his steps to where he
had dropped the food, and having
stirred up the smoldering fire, he
cooked enough to last him for a few
days.
For five days he tolled, footsore
and weary, through the defiles which
he had already traversed on horse
back. At night he flung himself
down among the rocks and snatched
a few hours of sleep; but before day
break he was always on his way.
On the Bixth day he reached the
Eagle Ravine, from which they had
commenced their ill fated flight.
Thence he could look down upon the
home of the Saints.
Worn and exhausted, he leaned
upon his rifle and shook his gaunt
hand fiercely at the silent, wide
spread city beneath him.
As he looked at it he observed that
there were flags in some of the prin
cipal streets and other signs of fes
tivity. He was still speculating as to what
this might mean, when he heard the
clatter of a horse's hoofs, and saw
a mounted man riding toward him.
As he approached, he recognlzxed
him as Mormon named Cowper, to
whom he had rendered services at
different times. He therefore accost
ed him when he got up to him, with
the object of finding out what Lucy
Terrier's fate "had been.
"I am Jefferson Hope," he said.
"You remember me."
The Mormon looked at him with
undisguised astonishment indeed, it
was difficult to recognize In this tat
tered, unkempt wandered, with ghast
ly white face and fierce, wild eyes,
the spruce young hunter of former
days.
Having, however, at last satisfied
himself as to his Identity, the man's
surprise changed to consternation.
"You are mad to come here," he
J
I cried. "It Is as much as my own life
is worth to be seen talking with you.
There Is a warrant against you from
the Holy Four for assisting the ter
rlors away."
"I don't fear thorn or their war
rant," Hope - said, earnestly. "You
must know something of this matter,
Cowper. I conjure you by everything
you hold dear to-answer a few ques
tions. We have always been friends.
For God's sake, don't refuse to an
swer me.1
"What is it.'" the Mormon asked,
uneasily. "Be quick. The very rocks
have ears and the trees eyes."
"What has become of Lucy Fer
rler!" "She was married yesterday to
young Drebber.-- Hold up, man, hold
up, you have no life left in you."
"Don't mind me," said Hope, faint
ly. He was white to the very lips,
and had sunk down on the stone
against which he had been leaning,
"Married, you.aay?"
"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 followed them, and Stangerson
had shot her father, which seemed to
give him the best claim; but when
they argued It out In council, Drefr
ber's party was the stronger, so the
prophet gave her over to him. No
one won't have her very long, though
for I saw death In her face yasterday.
She Is more like a ghost than a wo
man. Are you off, then?"
"Yes, I'm off," said Jefferson Hope,
who had risen from his seat.
His face might have been chiseled
out of marble, so hard and so set was
Its expression, while his eyes glowed
With a baleful light
"Where are you going?"
"Never mind," he answered; and,
slinging his weapon over his shout
der, he strode off down the gorge and
so away Into the heart of the moun
tains to the haunts of the wild
beasts.
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 mar
ried her principally for the sake of
John Ferrler's property, did not af
fect any great grief at his bereave
ment; but his other wives mourned
over her, and sat up with her the
night before the burial, as Is the Mor
mon custom.
They were grouped round the bier
In the early hours of the morning,
when, to their Inexpressible fear and
astonishment, the door was flung
open, and a savage looking, weather-
beaten man In tattered garments
strode Into the room,
Without a glance or a word to the
cowering women, he walked up to
the white, silent figure which had
once contained the pure soul of Lucy
Ferrler,
Stooping over her, he pressed his
Hps reverently to her cold forehead,
and then, snatchng up her hand, ho
took the wedding ring from her
finger.
"She shall not be buried in that,"
he cried, with a fierce snarl, and be
fore an alarm could be raised sprang
down the stairs and was gone.
So strange and so brief was the
episode that the watchers might have
found It hard to believe It themselves
or persuaded other people of It, had
It not been for the undeniable fact
that the circlet of gold which marked
her as having been a bride had dis
appeared. For some months Jefferson Hope
lingered among the mountains, lead
ing a .strange,, wild life, and nursing
In his heart the fierce desire for ven
geance which possessed him.
Tales were told in the city of the
weird figure which was seen prowl
ing about the suburbs, and which
haunted the lonely mountain gorges.
Once a bullet whistled through
Stangerson's 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
lead repeated expeditions Into the
mountains In the hope of capturing
or killing their enemy, but always
without success.
Then they adopted the precaution
of never going out alone or after
night-fall, and of havfhg their houses
guarded.
After a time they were able to re
lax these measures, for nothing was
either heard or seen of their oppon
ent, and they hoped that time had
cooled his vindictiveness.
Far from doing bo, It had, if any
thing, augmented It The hunter's
mind was of a hard, unyielding na
ture, and the predominant Idea of re
venge had taken such complete pos
sesion of It that there was no room
for any other emotion.
He was, however, above all things
practical. He soon realized that even
his own iron constitution could not
stand the Incessant strain which he
was putting upon it Exposure and
want of wholesome food were wear
ing him out
If he died like a dog among the
mountains, what was to become of
his revenge then?. And yet such a
death was sure to overtake him if
he persisted.
He felt that that was to play his
enemy a game, so he reluctantly re
turned to the old Nevada mines, there
to recruit his health and to amads
money enough to allow him to pur
Sue his object without, privation.
His intention had been to be ab
sent a year at the most but a com
bination of unforeseen circumstances
prevented his leaving the mines for
nearly five.
At the end of that time, however,
his memory of his wrongs 'and his
cravings for revenge were quite as
keen as on' that memorable night
when he had stood by John Ferrler's
grave.
Disguised, and under an assumed
name, he returned to Salt Lake City,
careless what became of his own
life, as long as he obtained what he
knew to be Justice.
There he found evil tidings await
ing him. There had been a schism
among the Chosen People a few
months before, and some of the
I
lug rebelled against tne autnomy vi
tha elders and the result had been
tha spcpRslon nf a certain number
the malcontents, who had left Utah
and become Gentiles.
Anion these had been Dretioer
and Stangerson, and no one knew
whither thev had cone,
Rumor reported that Drebber had
managed to convert a large part of
his property Into money, and that he
had departed a wealthy man, while
his companion, Stangerson, was com
paratively poor. There was no clew
at all, however, as to their where
abouts. . ' ,
u,n a mnn Tinwevnr vindictive
would have abandoned all thought of
revenge in the race or sucn n, uu
flculty, but Jefferson Hope never fal
tered for a moment.
With the small competence he pos
sessed, eked out by such employment
as he could pick up, he traveled from
town to town through the United
States in quest of his enemies,
Year passed into year, his black
hair turned grizzled, but Btill he wan
dered on, a human bloodhound, with
his mind wholly set upon the one ob
ject upon which he had devoted his
life.
At last his perseverence was re
warded. It was but a glance of a face
in a window, but that one glance told
him that Cleveland, in Ohio, pos
sessed the men in whom he was in
pursuit of.
He returned to the miserable long
ings with his plan of revenge all ar
ranged. It cnanced, however, that
Drebber, looking from his window,
had recognized the vagrant in the
trft and had read muraer m nis
eyes.
He hurried before

able to find sureties, was detained for
some weeks.
When at last he was liberated, It;
was only to find that Drebber's house ;
was deserted and that he ana nis sec
retary had departed for Europe.
Again the avenger had been foiled,
and again his concentrated hatred
urged him to continue the pursuit.
Funds were wanting, however, and
for some time he had to return to
work saving every dollar for his ap
proaching Journey.
At last, having collected enough to
keep life in him, he departed for
Europe, and tracked his enemies
from city to city, working his way in'
any menial capacity, but never over
taking the fugitives.
When he reached St. Petersburg
they had departed for Paris; and
when he followed them there he
learned that they had Just set off
for Copenhagen.
At the Danish capital he was again
a few days too late, for they had
Journeyed on to London, where - he
at last succeeded in running them to

of the arable area of the United States.
It Is small wonder, then, considering
the possibilities of this magnificent riv
er, that there is great Interest in the
work the Government has undertaken
in an effort to restore it to the position
it once occupied In the commercial
world. It is comparatively but a few
years ago that the Mississippi was the
dominating influence In all business re
lations between the two great sections
of the country. The advent of great
trunk lines of railroads saw the diver
sion of the river traffic to other chan
nels and the days of boating seemed
forever past. The river was neglected

dition, however. The work of the en
gineers must show In a practical way
that the great rushes of water which
come down from the North, from the
Ohio and the Missouri can be success
folly withstood. That only will deter
mine the future of the river. It will be
the deciding balance In the scale which
shall decide whether or not the Missis
sippi shall become a waterway copable
of bearing deep sea ships upon Its
bosom, thus opening up to the South
the commerce of Chicago and the whole

sult will be attained, the greatest en
gineers produced by this country be
lieve. They are working enthusiastical

are sanguine that the work of the ensu

set by the Government, will be as fruit
ful of results as shall satisfy the most
hopeful. In 100(1, there will not be n
"crossing" shallower than eight feet,
all the way from the Gulf to St. Taul.
What this means cnu now be realized
only by those who are familiar with the
Mississippi and Its workings. It can
then be seen by all, for with a channel
of eight to many times eight feet, river
traffic will be a sight worth selng.
In four years, however, It Is practi
cally certain that vessels of medium
draft will be able to come up as far
as St. Louis. To get a minimum depth
of ten feet, the estimated cost Is 55,
000 a mile, though to get double that
depth would not cost twice as much,
The beginning of the work, which Is
now well In band. Is directed toward
giving the current Its proper direction,
especially at bends where the circular
sweeps of water pull In acres and acres
of land yearly.
The average man hn very little eon
eeptlon of the amount of matter de
posited In the river every year. The
floods bring down a vast amount every
high-water, but there Is hank wash
that Is stupendous. From Cairo to Don
aldsville (IKK) miles), a yearly average
of nine and one-half acres of ground,
sixty-six feet deep, falls In the river on
every mile of river front. The value of
the laud that goes Into the river would
pay for protecting the hanks.
In protecting the hanks from rush
ing floods, dikes are built for the pur
pose of changing the wash. "Mat

there Is a tendency to eat These are
great flat areas of young trees so wov
en together that they form a homoge

also placed at flats and reefs. An ac
companying engraving shows their con
struction. These are placed very solid
ly In position, soon banking up with
mud and sand, and thus throwing the
water to one side or toward the middle
to form a new and deeper channel. At
these places, so swift is the water, lit

It Is not expected that the overflow can

that. with the proper attention, much
the greater part of the damage can

say that the money loss which, from
first to last has come from Mississippi

millions.

Methods of Work.
Snag boats are essential features of
channel making In the Mississippi,
Snags have done more damage to river
traffic than all other agencies com
blned. Snags are water-soaked logi
and bunches of roots which come down

fic, a constant menace to river boats,
The construction of Mississippi boats
Is such that It is comparatively easy
for a snag to pierce their bottoms.
Snags are removed with vessels con
