He gave an order for four double rolls
and after dinner went back to his labors,
looking the door so that could not SEQ

ever, as listened at the door I heard
him growing:
Hang that carpenter! He didn't get

and that last strip has got to come orr
just before supper he came down and
telephoned for two more rolls of paper
and forty feet more of border. but he
looked SO pale-faced and stoop-shoul-
dered and done out that hadn't the
heart to say any thing about the room.
He fell asleep In his chair while read
Ing the paper, and every few mo-
ments uttered q groan or q sigh. He
was paste and paper from head to heel
ana back again, and could hardly get
upstairs from the lameness in his lers
and back. Next morning, as he seemed
undecided whether to 60 to the Office or
upstairs, asked If I shouldn't telephone
for the paper-hanger. That decided him
and he replied:
II wouldn't be as jealous-minded Al
you are, Mrs. Bowser, for all the money
in the world. You are shaking in your
shoes for fear that will do q really
nice bit OF work."
It was four O'Clock in the afternoon
before he would allow me to enter the
room and then he announced its compile

''Have you escaped from Kalamazoo?''
he demanded, as laughed until I had
to sit down on the floor.

sent cook out and got three of the
nearest ladies,a and when they entered the
menagerto Mr.. Bowser retired to dress
himself. He wouldn't come out until
they had departed, but he must have
heard all that was said. At supper time
he came down and quietly remarked:

the child, Mrs. Bowser?"
"What do you mean?'
"Why, after encouraging me to spend
two days Of my time in papering that
room, that you might criticise my work,

OF the day declare? They say that gilt

"And this stuff will probably prolong
it?''

"Well. it ought to! Any one who
would select such paper ought to live
500 years and be ashamed of himself

'Mrs. Bowser, If you happen to have

He went ahead, Of course, and left
him alone for a couple of hours. When
I went up he had two strips on, and was
standing back to survey them. Two
more strips, which had been pasted and
stuck on and then pulled of again lay
on the floor.
''The corner OF the room is not exact
ly plumb, you know" he said. ''Those
bricklayers and carpenters never get a
corner within two inches OF true"
''No, suppose not. have read that
all paper-hangers make this same discov-

"Oh, got enough so that could ex-

''Not much! Your eyes are out Of true,

An hour later there was q crash up
stairs which awoke the baby, frightened
the cat into falling of the window-sill,
and caused the cook to fly into the sit
ting-room and call out that 'sinclone''

There was paste on his hair and pieces

he had q lame back, and he dragged

THE COMING OF THE PROPHET.

THE COMING OF THE PROPHET.
The Mormon Prophet was making his
annual tour through the settlements of the
Territory, and was looked for to-day in
Mooseneck 1t was visit of moment, and
the inhabitants stirred themselves with the
dawn in its anticipation. Paul Elchard, too,
was out for the first time since his injury,
and, very carefully picking his way to a seat
among the pines on the slope above the
house, sat through the long, delicious morn

fronts, too, were made fine with floral green
cry and welcoming devices. But all this was
not quite so spontaneous as would seem !;
Bishop Farley had received notice of the
coming of this man who ruled them in every
sense, and knew full well the seeming
honors he was expected to provide, and how
closely his own and the interests of his fell
low frauds hinged upon it.
Now and then bitter smile fitted across
the face of the pale watcher among the pines.
This trucking was wearisome, and yet it
had a certain interest, depth that was in
scrutable, and he watchedit. The spirit of
it like a suffocating mist hung through all
these mountain valleys; there below him
passed the willowy figure of Trean across
the yard, seemingly pressed down by it; it
lay even upon his own wounded chest like
an invisible weight, and he drew q long
breath and made an involuntary movement
of expulsion.
A smooth wind was moving the balsamie
spires Of the pines to a sea-shell sigh, great
masses of snow-pure clouds were breaking
open at the zenith, leaving vast blue holes,
and farther westward were raking their
fleece along the craggy heights, while below
them patches of light slept upon the mount

were so great that he could not keep
them down.
'tWhat is the matter with them, sir?"
he said. "How did they come SOP"
"There is no time for talking now,"
answered. ST will tell you all about it
when the men have been secured"
now turned my attention to the
man who was partly resting against
the lounge. I first tied his feet, and be-
fore letting him down to the floor, so as
to get to his arms, removed his hat
and his mask, which was made of black
muslin. l was surprised to see the
beardless face of young and
very good-looking man. He was
well dressed and had the gen.
eral appearance of person be-
longing to theatrical circles. When his
arms had been tied 1 told David he
might lay down his biscuit-beater and
help me with the third man, who was
badly mixed up with the debris of the
refreshments. We hauled him out and
tied him up. He was rather short
man, but very heavy, and 1 could see no
signs of his having been hurt by the
smash-up he had made in falling.
