CHAPTER XIV.
THE MAN WITH THE Housewife.


Wholly unprepared for the sudden attack,
Alien Gray was quick TO think and equally
us quick to act. His movements had TO be
with Ig'htning-lilxe rapidity to seize the
wrist Of the descending hand which held tho
murderous dagger, but once he had the
arm he chung to it with an iron grasp.
Next, with his hand that was free, he seized
the hand of the would-be assassin, which
was clutching at his throat until he was al
most suffOcated, and tore it loose The
assailant had one knee on the chest of the
man he had hurled to the earth, but not
knowing how strong he really was, the
young fellow actually sprang from under
him, and in a moment was on his knees.
He chung with wonderful tenacity to the
hand which still held the dagger, for he
knew that it was certain death to release
his hold.

dark stranger1 Somehow he felt that that
tall, dark man, giving his name as x. Y. r.,
was his enemy, and if he had been pursued he
was one Of the pursuers.
All night, over lonesome roads, through
dark forests and along silent lanes the
young editor continued his journey When
morning dawned he was in sight Of the vii
lage where he was directed to stay.
He went to small hotel, where he gave
his horse into the care of the landlord,
ordering the horse to be groomed and fed
and that breakfast be prepared for himself.
He slept most of the forenoon, but at two
o'clock rose, and after a hearty dinner
called for his horse.
(Which way are you goin'9" the landlord
asked
"Back home-up the river, "he answered.

eyes, SIR"
"Been out TRADING"
"No, sir. / went to town below here on
some business, and / am now on my way
back"
Glad to escape so inquisitive man as the
landlord was liable to prove, Allen paid his
bill and mounting his horse galloped away
in the direction of Turkeys Point.
If he went straight ahead he would reach

not wish to do; so, coming to thick forest,
he rode some distance into it, and there
waited until the sun had gone down and the
shades of twilight had begun to deepen,
when he again resumed his journey.
Allen was almost worn out with his long
ride at such unreasonable hours, and was
very glad when he found himself once moro
in the vicinity of Turley's Point. 1t was
still early, and not wishing to be seen by any
one, he rode around the village, entering the
old deserted turnpike some distance above
it. Here it was so dark that he could scarce
see an object three PAGES before him, but
he managed to find the path, and took tho
horse to the very spot where he had found
him, and tied him to the same tree.
He felt a great burden lifted from his
breast. lie seemed to be just awaking
from q troubled dream. Cramped by his
long ride, his stiffoned limbs seemed hardly
able to carry him to the village.
Danger was over; few moments more
and he would be in his bed resting from his
toilsome journey.
Allen reached the turnpike, and had just
stepped out of the narrow path into it,
when a tall dark form sprang upon him.
Before he could mako an effort to resist, he
was seized by the shoulders and hurled to
the Garth. A hand clutchcd his throat and
n sharp bright blade glittered in the star
light above him, while voice almost sti
fled with hate, Kissed in his ear.

The Iowa State Register hits the nail
squarely on the head in the following item
at is a pleasure to the Register to recon-
mend an article of merit, and this is the
case with Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhea Remedy, as it has proven to be
all that is claimed for it in many instances
that have come under the writer's imme-
date notice, and the Register believes that
every family should have a bottle of this
sterling remedy at all times at their homes,
as it may be necessary when least ex-
pected. Messrs. Chamberlain & Company
present testimonials as to the virtue of the
preparation, from nearly all of
the states in the union, and many instances
ar given where death has been averted by
its timely use. Three different epidemics
are noted, in which this standard medicine
has come out victorious, and this was the
most successful of all the remedies en-
ployed. Too much care cannot be exer-
eised to preserve the health of the children
as well as the heads of the house, and it is
always best to be prepared at all times.

MILLION DOLLAR SCHEMES

for their water, we certainly should not
hesitate to spend a few thousands in this
direction.
And, again, we are of the opinion that an
abundance of water can be brought into
our city through storage, and the dry and
arid lands now belonging to the corporation
and private parties can all be utilized and
made beautiful; hence the city should be
very slow in dedicating these lands to the
public. If private enterprise can bring
water upon these lands and thus improve
them, as suggested by Pratt Brothers Com
pany in their petition to the council, let
them have these sage brush hills, and ex-
empt them from taxation until water is
brought upon them and houses m ade. Then
our sons and daughters will be provided
with homes without having to leave the
of their percentages to dis
tant part of the country.

of water might be made with the farmers
using the waters from Mill Greek, Parley's
and Emigration canon streams on their
lands below the proposed canal, and these
waters brought into the city via the Jordan
and Salt Lake canal, and thereby save the
expense of pumping of at least large por-
ton of the Hanauer water.
Some talk has been INDUCED in about
pumping the Jordan water into the city,
but this source of supply, in our judgment,
would be very unreliable, as there are so
many canals taken out above that the water
near the city would be very nearly, if ct
all, consumed except little seepage water,
which would not be desirable for culinary
use, if necessary to use it for such purpose
PUMPING FROM FLOWING WELLS
is also suggested, but who's there of flowing
well experience that does not know of the
unreliability of many of these wells. In
many instances their flows have ceased, ap-
parently of their own accord, exhaustion
taking place, no doubt, from their limited
supply. In some instances force pumps
have been used for the purpose of incree s.
ing their supply, but has resulted in its de-
struction. When forced beyond their ma
tural strength quicksand has been brought,
then good-by to the water. During the
few short years of flowing water expert
ence in these mountains, we are taught
that they cannot be altogether relied upon
for furnishing permanent supply
So 1t would seem that we shall be com
PEELED to rely upon either the storage sys-
TEN, the boring of artesian wells, or upon
the natural flowing surface streams, one,
and the largest, of which is now flowing to
waste in the Big Cottonwood channel near
the Hanauer wheels. Without question,
these waters are the most permanent and
reliable, besides being as good, if not better,
than the City creek, being less impregnated
with lime. 1t is said that a considerable
sum has been offered by capitalists for
these waters and refused. Be this as it
may, the city should secure, either by lease
or purchase, these valuable waters before
they are ixedly appropriated upon other
properties of less Importance than our
growing city.
Off the Pratt Brothers Company can fur
nish that water to the city at the rate
named in their proposition and keep up the
of their canal, it appears that
the city would be making good contract
providing, however, that an extension of
contract, at the expiration of the twenty
years, could be agreed upon.
If smaller towns than Salt Lake city, and
very much less in Importance, can indulge

Mass Meeting Called for Tuesday.
December 9th,

1t was somewhat discouraging to see
the small number of our townspeoplc
who were willing to leave their several
occupations for one hour Yesterday to
show their interest in therairoad project
of which SO much has been said and writ
ten, but this was probably, because every
man in Ashcvlle is already fully convinced
Of the Importance OF the movement, and
of the feasibility Of the suggestions of
Capt. Atkinson and others. However this
may be, hospitality should have induced
a better turn out in order to welcome
the large and intelligent delegation from
Leicester and Sandy Mush, who had rid
dc'I SO far t. prove that they wished to
keep informed of what was proposed to
be done.
The court room was about half filled
at o'clock and the meeting organized
by calling Mr.. b. 6. Gudgcr to the chair,
and the representatives of the press as
secretaries.
Capt. Matt Atkinson being called for
gave one of the best railroad speeches
we ever heard, even from him, and no
higher praise can he awarded it; and at
its close presented the following pre-
amble and resolutions:
Whereas, There exists great incon-
venienCe, expense and loss to the farmers
of those sections of Buncombc county,
not supplied with the advantages of rail,
roads, and
Whereas, Opportunities are now offer
ed of having these sections provided tol
in this respect, and
Whereas. The increased wealth of Ashc
vile and the county is such that we car
well afford the needed assistance with,
out additional burdens i'll the way o
taxation. Therefore, be it
Resolved. That the chairman of this
meeting issue call for mass meeting oI
the people of this county to assemble at
Ashcvlle. on Tuseday, the 10th day OF
December, for the purpose of taking such
action in regard to this matter, as its in.
pOrtanCe demands, and
Resolved, further, That the commits
sioners of this county be requested t,
have a called meeting of their board OF
Wednesday, December IL, in order that
the wishes of the people may be carricC
out in the way of submission of tn,
proposition passed by said mass meet
ing to the people of the county for theiI
endorsement at the baIlOt-bOX.
These resolutions were cnthusiaStiCalll
seconded and adopted, and the call o
