THE C-iNNON'S MOUTH.
SALT LAKE, L. T., May 12.-When An
gus Cannon, President of this State" was
called up for sentence Saturday, he said he
was conscious of having violated no law
His conscience was serene. He had Obeyed
the Edmunds law as he understood it: that
is. while living in the same house with his
wives. he had had intercourse with but one
10 xy-1s in1 fo
hear the court say the law had made all his
children equal heirs. He inferred from this
that in case he died intestate his children
would be equal heirs before the law, and
he thought in view of this fact it was unjust
to hold man criminal for eating with
them and their mothers at the same table.
His record was before the country and
his heart and conscience were visible
to God who created him The rec
ord of his life in contact with the
people in the court room turning and way
ing his hand to the crowd bore him up t.
receive such sentence as the court should
impose. He felt pleased also that the
court had stated that his conduct toward
his respective wives since the passage of
the EdmundS bill should be taken into con-
Sideration when sentence was being passed.
He would bow to the DEGREES Of the court.
trusting to be able to bear up under any
sentence it might intiict in such manner as
to give evidence to his children that he had
not lost his manhood. Cannon's speech
was received with great applause, which
the marshal had TO check When the
court asked Cannon if he declined to make
any promise in regard TO the future, he re.
piled: Il have never been in the habit of
making to my children promises, lest they
should fail"

to have mention, but still the act may be a
kindly one, for it sets the one addressed TO

a reason therefor. Pallor is almost always

carefully, he returned it to the box, and,

CHAPTER w.

L
INTRODUCES WILLIAM JONES AND HIS FATHER.
NV story is now bound to follow in the
footsteps of Matt, who, on quitting the pres
ence of her artist friend, walked raj. lily along
the sand -incumbered road in the direction Of
the sea.
Skirting the lake upon the left hand, and
still having the ocean of sandhills upon her
right, she gradually slackened her pace. A
spectator, had he been by, would have doubt
less observed that the change was owing to
maiden meditation; that, in other words,
Matt had fallen into a brown study.
Presently she sat down upon convenient
stone, or piece of rock, and, resting her elbows
on her knees, her chin in her hands, looked
for some minutes at vacancy. At last she
rose, flushing warmly, and murmuring some
thing to herself.
The something was to this effect:
ellis hands are as white as lady's, when
he pulls Of them gloves, and he said I was as
pretty as my picture"
1 can only guess at the train of reasoning
which led to this soliloquy, and express my
opinion that Matt had well-developed ideas on
the subject of tho sexes. True, she was not
above sixteen, and had little or no experience
of men, none at all of men who were both
young and good looking. Nevertheless, she
was not insansible of the charms of q white
hand, and other tokens of masculine refine
ment and beauty.
By natural sequence of ideas, she was led
to stretch out her own right hand and look at
it critically. It was very brown, and covered
with huge golden frecllles. The inspection
not being altogether satisfactory, she thrust
both her hands irritably into the pockets Of
her jacket, and wall1eI on
Leaving tho Lake behind her she followed
the road along cwarnpy hollow, down
which the shallowest Ct rivulets crept along
by the sea, now losing Itself altogether in
messy patches of suspicious greenness, again
emerging and triciSling with feeble glinmers
over pebble and sand. Presently she left the
road and came upon a primitive wooden
bridge, consisting of only one plank, sup
ported on two cairns of stone. Here she
paused, and seeing a red-legged sand piper
running about on the edge of the water just
below her, made q gesture like boys throw
ing stone, wherein the sand-piper sprang
up chirping, and flew along out of sight,
By this time she was in full sight of the
sea. Dead calm, and covered with rain=col-
ored shadows, it touched the edges Of the flat
sands about mile away, end left one long
creamy line Of changeless foam, The sands
themselves stretched away to the westward
far as eye could see. But to The left and east
ward, that is to say, In the direction toward
which she was going, there was lone ra"tu
