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.

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.
