I nifty OF the apostle anu Cdpl1lA'
This low rioting was doubly disgust
/ ing to me after the sad evening with
our friends. | found Sizzum more Of
/ fensive as a man of the world than as a
/ saint. say man of the world, because
/ the gambling scenes of nominal gentle
men are often just as hateful, IL more
| decorous. than those Of that night. L
walked slowly off toward camp sorrow
/ ful and sick at heart. Baseness and
/ vulgarity had never seemed TO me so
base and vulgar till now.
1 suddenly heard a voice In the
| bushes. II was Larrap. He was evil
I IDENTIFY persuading his comrade to some
villainy. l caught a suspicious word or
/ two.
"Ah!" thought 1, "you want our
/ horses. We will see to that"
1 walked slowly. Brent was seated
/ By the embers Of camp fire, covered
in a heap, like a cold Indian. He
raised his face. All the light had gone
out OF him. This trouble had suddenly
worn into his being, like the shirt OF
| NesSus, and poisoned his life.

respondent before"
This is not dependency.
"What then?"
Despair"
81 cannot offer to cheer you"
at Is bitter, Wade. l have yearned
20 be a lover for years. AL at once
ind the woman have seen and thought
OF and known from my first conscious
moment. The circumstances crowded
nv love into sudden intensity. made
the observations and did the work Of
months OF acQuaintage In those few mo-
ments while we were at tea. Ny mind
always acts quick. l seem always to
have been discussing my decisions
with myself, years before the subject Of
decision comes TO me. Whatever hap
pens falls on me with the force OF
doom. l loved Miss Clithroe's voice
the instant 1 heard its brave tenderness
answering her father. | loved her uR-
seen, and would have died for her that
moment. When she appeared, and L
saw her face aud read her heart, knew
that il was the old dream-the old dream
that l never thought would be other
than a dream. The ancient hope and
expectation, coeval with my life, was
fulfilled. She is the other self l have
been waiting for and seeking for"
"Have you told her SOP"
.'Can man ston the beating OF his
heart? Can a man not breathe? Not in
words perhaps. did not use the lover
words. But she understood me. She
did not seem surprised. She recognized
such passion as her right and desert. l"
"a great hearted woman can see how
a man worthy Of her can nullify time
aud space, and meet her, soul to soul,
in eternity from the first"
$50 l meet her; but circumstances
here are stronger than love.
Can she do nothing with her father?"
Nothing. She failed In England
when this delusion first fell upon him. !"
Ibid she know what it meant for her
and him?"
Hardly. She even fancied that they
would be happier In America than at
home, where she saw that his old
grandeur was always reprOaching him"
Ibid he conceal from her the goal and
object Of his emigration|
''She knew he was, or supposed him
self TO be a Mormon. But Mormonism
was little more than name to her. She
believed his perverSion only transltOry
folly. IL is but recently, ouly since they
were away from Succor, OIL in the deS-
ert, that she had perceived her own risk.
She hOped that the voyage from Eng
land would disenchant her father and
that she could keep him in the states.
No: he was committed; he was imprac-
ticable. You have seen yourself how
far his faith is shaken. Just so far that
his crazy cheerfulneSs has given place
20 moping; but he will hear nothing of
reason"
"What does she anticipated"
''She says she only dares to endure.
Day by day they both wear away. Day
by day her fathers bright hope dwindles
away. Day by day she perceives the
moment Of her own danger approach
ing. She could not speak TO me of it;
but could feel by her tone her disgust
and disdain of Sizzum. Oh, how steady
and noble she is! All for her father!
All TO guide him with the feweSt pangs
to that desolate death she knows must
come! She gave me a few touches OF
their past history, so that l could see
how much closer and tender than the
common pond OF parent and child theirs
had BEEN
That saw from the old gentleman's
story. Sorrow and poverty ennoble
/ love-"
''She thanked me and you so sweetly
for our society and the kind words we
had given them. She had not seen her
father so cheerful, so like himself, since
/ they had left England"
"What weary pilgrimage they must
I have had, poor Grant souls."
"Oh, Wade. Wade! how this tragedy
I OF theirs cures me forever Of any re-
/ bellion against my own destiny. A
| helpless woman's tragedy is so much
bitterer than anything that can befall a
| man"
Must we say helpless, John?"
| care we two an army, that we can
take them by force? She has definitely
closed any further communication on
our psrt. She said that l could not
have failed to notice how Elder Sizzum
I disliked our presence. l must promise
her not to be seen with them in the
morning. SzZum would find some
means to torture her. 1t seems that

suoerstitions, aud can terrify him a.
