Through a break in the trees be :gi.t the gr*-en sweep of marsh "’••> tnJ his heart boat excitedly with !.. pe. Where there was rice there v ere w lid fowi. and surely where mere were wild fowl there would be a punt or a canoe' In his eagerness he ran. and where the path ended, the fags and r:ce beaten into the mud and water he .-topped with an exultant cry At his feet was a canoe. It was set. as though just drawn out of the water, and a freshly used paddle was 1 i.g across the bow. Pausing but to take a quick and cautious glance a hoc h.m he shoved the frail craft :nto the lake and with a few quiet s'robes buried himself in the rice gra- s When he emerged from it he was half a mile from the shore. For a long time l;e sat motionless, iookirg out over the shimmering sea. i'ar to the south and west he could make out the dim outline of Beaver . land, while over the trail he had come, mile upon mile, lay the glisten ing dunes Somewhere between the white desert sand and that distant coast of the Mormon kingdom Marion was making her way hack to bondage. Nathaniel had given up all hope of overtaking her now. Long before he could intercept her she would have reached the island. When he started again be paddled slowly, and laid out for himself the plan that he was to follow. There must be no mistake this time, no error in judgment, no rash ness in his daring. He would lie in hiding until dusk, then under ! cover of darkness he would hunt down Strang and kill him. .After that he would fly to his canoe and escape. A little later, perhaps that very night if ! fate played the game well for him. he would return for Marion. The sun mounted straight and hot over hia head; he paddled more slow ly. and tested more frequently, as it descended into the west, but it still lacked two hours of sicking behind the island forest when the white wa ter-rim of the shore came within his vision He had meant to hold off the coast until the approach of evening, but changed his mind and landed, con cealing his canoe in a spot which he marked well, for he knew it would soon be useful to him again. Deep shadows ..ere already gathering in the forest and through these Nathaniel made his way slowly in the direction of St. James. • He came out in the strip of dense forest between the clearing and St James, worming his way cautiously through the underbrush until he could j i look out into the opening. A single glance and he drew back in astonish ment. He looked again, and his face ■ turned suddenly white, and an almost inaudible cry fell from his lips. There was no longer a cabin in the ciear ingl Where it had been there was ( gathered a crowd of men and boys Above their heads he saw a thin film if smoke and he knew what had hap pence! Marion’s home had burned! But v. bat was the crowd doing? It hung close in about the smoldering ruins as if every person in it were j ..triving to reach a common center | Surely a mere fire would not gathei and hold a throng like this. Nathaniel rose to his feet anc thrust his head and shoulders from his hiding-place. He heard a loud sbou’ near him and drew back quick ly as a boy rushed madly acrcr-s the opening toward the crowd crying out at the top of his voice. He had come out of the path that led to St. James No sooner had he reached the grout about the burned cabin than there came a change that added to Nathani el's bewilderment. He beard loud voices, the excited shouting of men and the shrill cries of boys, and the crowd suddenly began to move, thin ning itself out until it was racing ir a black stream toward the Mormon city in his excitement Nathaniel hur ried toward the path. From the con ceahnent of a clump of bushes he watched the people as ‘they rushed past him a dozen paces away. Be hind all the others there came a figure that drew a sharp cry from him as he leaped from hi- hiding-place. It was Obadiah Price. ’’Obnriiah!’’ he called “G\> id ir. h Price!" I be old man turned His face was livid. He was chattering to himself, and he chattered still as he ran up to Nathaniel. He betrayed no surprise at seeing him. and yet there was the insane grip of steel in the two hands That clutched fiercely at Nathaniel's. ‘You have come in time. Nat!" he panted joyfully. You hate chme in time! Kurry—hurry—burry—■“ He ran back into the clearing, with Nathaniel close at his side, and point ed to the smoking ruins cf tit cabin among the lilacs. ‘They were killed last night!" he cried shrilly "Somebody murdered them—and burned them with, the house' They are dead—dead!-* "Who?" shouted Nathaniel. Ohadiah had stopped and was rub bing aud tw isting his hands in his old, , mad way. "The old folks. Ho. bo. ‘.he old folks, of course! They are dead— 1 dead—dead—” He fairly shrieked the words Then, for a moment, he stood tightly clutch ing his thin hands over his chest in a powerful effort to control himself. "They are dead'" he repeated. He spoke more calmly, and yet •here was something so terr.tde in his eyes, souiet^ng so harshly vi brant of elarion in the quivering pas sion of his voice That Nathaniel felt himself filled with a strange horror. He caught him by the arm. shaking aim as he would have shaken a child. "Where Is Marion?" he asked. Tell me. Obadi&h—where is Marion?" The councilor seemed not to have heard him. A singular change came into bis face and his eyes traveled be yond Nathaniel. Following his glance the young man saw that three men had appeared rrom the scorched shrubbery about the burned bouse and were hurrying toward them. Without shifting his eyes Obadiah spoke to him quickly. "Those are king's sheriffs. Nat." he i said. ‘They know me. In a moment they will recognize you. The United States warship Michigan has just ar rived in the harbor to arrest Strang if you can reach the cabin and hold it for an hour you will be saved. Quick —you must run—" "Where is Marion?" “At the cabin! She Is at—“ Nathaniel waited to hear no more, but sped toward the breach In the forest that marked the beginning of | !h» path to Obadiah's. The shouts of the king's men came to him unheeded At the edge of the woods he glanced back and saw that they had overta- 1 ken the councilor. As he ran he drew his pistol and in his wild joy he flung back a shout of defiance to the men who were pursuing him. Marion was I at the cabin—and a government ship had come to put an end to the reign of the Mormon king! He shouted Marion s name as he came in sight ] of the cabin: he cried it aloud as he bounded up the low steps. "Marion—Marion—' In front of the door that led to the tiny chamber in which he had ta ken Obadiah's gold he saw a figure For a moment he was blinded by his sudden dash from the light of day intc the gloom of the cabin, and he saw • only that a figure was standing there ! as still as death His pistol dropped | to the floor. He stretched out his arms, and his voice sobbed in its en treaty as he whispered the girl's name. In response to that whisper came a low. glad cry. and Marion lay trembling on his breast. (TO BE CONTINT-ED.) In the Patient. Perhaps. The Surgeon—"What the Dickens have I done with my eye-glassesT' His Wife—"Are you sure you did not per form an operation for appendicitis th>t morning?"—Pele Mele. By Wilbur D. Nesbit. Mr. Elza Primmel was a man who had gone through life without ever losing his temper. More than that, until the occasion just about to be described, he had never even mis laid his temper. His temper, until the fateful Saturday upon which im pinge the incidents which shall be set down as calmly as possible in this truthful record—his temper, until this event, was still in its original wrap pings. Such men are a Messing to the community and an aggravation to their wives. Mr. Primmel had no wife. He wanted a wife. He wanted Mrs. Ide lia Bithers to share his joys and sor rows with him. but Mrs. Bithers. widow though she was. had an ideal. She liked Mr. Primmel. but she yearned to see him show more spirit. He had proposed to her several times, but always in such a meek and gentle way that she felt like parting him on the head and giving him a dog bis cuit. The late .and for a while lament Mr. Bithers had been a willing subject for fcenpecking. A woman wil henpeck her husband if he allows it—poor thing! There isn't much to this story, ex •ept that Mrs. Bithers and Mr. Prim mel taught classes in the Sunday school. Two guesses as to what kind of classes they taught! Surely. Mrs Bithers ’aught a class of boys and Mr. Primmel one of girl6 Now. the superintendent of that Sunday school was one Lemuel Tanmore. a widower, who wore a heavy watch chain, and was just coming out of the chrysalis stage of first mourning into the butterfl' existence of The relict who is willing to be interested These three, having the social side of the Sunday school in hand, met as a committee to arrange tor the Easter egg presentation to the pupils. The Sunday school rewarded each nice little girl and boy with a beautifully colored Easter egg annually. There being one hundred and ten children, the work of coloring the eggs usually was divided among several people. But brother Primmel had a Napo leonic thought. Mrs. Bithers' inter est in the Sunday school work was one avenue by which he was ap proaching her heart. Now. if by one grand stroke he could simply astound her by his devotion to that work, he would go some distance ahead of the crafty Tanmore in her regard. So he deftly ended the discussion of ways and means by saying: "Let us not worry longer over the eggs. If yon will send them to me. I will color them all myself. | have nothing to do Saturday afternoon, and will put in the idle hours with profit. I am sure, if 1 give them to this ex' celient task of preparing the gifts for the children." "That is simply lovely of you. Mr. Primmel." said Mrs. Bithers. Then came the Machiavellian stroke of Tanmore. “All right." he offered. "I'll fur nish the eggs!" "How sweet and noble of you. brother Tanmore." Lemuel Tanmore did what any man would have done He wanted to dis credit his rival. So he procured eggs of doubtful vintage And the only doubt was as to whether they were five or ten years old Modestly, he insisted that no one should know who had given the eggs "Brother Primmel is doing the work—he is bearing the h4a; and bur den of the day." he said. "Let the children know that their pleasure comes through' him " Brother Tanmore knew mighty well what would be said about brother Primmel by the whole com munity. after the children tried to ©pen those eggs If any one thinks coloring eggs is e merry, madcap procedure, he should attempt to dye twelve dozen of them —for brother Tanmore had been lib eral. Arrange a group of buckets and pans and tubs in a circle, with yourself as the center, so that you may go from one to the other quick ly. Then, after the color has been filed, take the eggs out. as brother Primmel did. and place them all in one tub. Brother Primmel was heaping the beautifully tinted eggs in this recep tacle. His sleeves were rolled up. but not only was there a gorgeous min gling of hues on his hands and arms, bur on his sleeves and his shin bos om. and his face—for it was hot work, and absent-mindedly be had wiped the sweat from his brow several times. And thoughtfully he had tag i ged at his sidewhiskers on occasion, so that the starboard whisker was a medley of blue, green and purple, while the larboard one flaunted an assortment of red. brown and ma genta to the breeze. With the malice ! of accident, a neat daub of red adorned his pale, temperate nose. Timing the visit with due malevo lence. brother Tanmore had asked the widow Either# to accompany him to brother Primmel's home and see how the eggs had turned out. They rounded the corner of the house and came to the back porch while Primmel was lifting the last batch of eggs to the tub. He looked up, saw them, and noted the fiendish gle with which brother Tanmore viewed him. as well as the repressed emotion with which sister Bithers looked upon him. In his embarrass ment he steped into a bucket of pur ple dye. stumbled and fell with his load of eggs. To fall with a peck of eggs is no casual occurrence, dear reader, but to fall with that armful of eggs, tripping into a bucket of purple dye and from that Into a dishpan full of green dye. and then to carom head first into a tub filled with eggs of all colors—and all ages—is not a mishap. It is a calamity, a colossal, catas trophic calamity! Mr. Primmel yelled as he fell, but yells are of no avail in such circum stances. He arose, after a scramble, and confronted the twain. The dyes were plentifully distributed over him. and the contents of the eggshells were plastered ever his head and his whis kers. and they dribbled and drooled r ■ — m He Wanted Some of Them Blue. Some Green. Some Red. and so on. and dropped and drained over his clothes. Mr. Tanmore howled with laughter. He felt that his purpose had been ac complished Mrs. Either? giggled! "Did you break 'em all. Elza?" brother Tanmore asked, between gasps for breath. Elza Brimmers eyes took on & blaze they never before had shown. He glanced at the heap of broken eggs, and saw one v. hole one. He grabbed that. "All bm this one. Lem!" he shout ed. then let it drive full, fair and forcibly into Tanmore's face. rt popped like a cannon when it struct end the state of Tanmore was some thing awful. And then Elza Primmel's spirit took unto itself full growth, and he , stood on his back porch and delivered an extemporaneous address to Lemuel Tanmore that was nine parts heavy language and one part personal allusions. Mrs. Either? Sed. and Tanmore made his way from the yard mutely, leaving Primmel still speaking to the world in general. That night Primmel called on Mrs Bithers—not to apologize He had got his growth. He walked into her fconse and told her be had waited long enough When would they he married? Without allowing her to ; think, he named the day himself. And every time she fries eggs for ; Elza’s breakfast she hums a love song. Elza has shaved off his side whiskers and lesrned to smoke. You cannot eat yonr egg and have the picture framed. THE CHICK’S EASTER HAT. Mrs. Chick—I say. hubby. How do you like my new hat? Mr. Chick—I think it's a dear Is my hat on straight, wifey?
