man OF strong will and imperious tenn
per. He had been accustomed To sue
coed in all that he undertook. lie
swore in his heart that he would not
fall in this IL human effort and human
perseverance could render his suit
successful.
He called on John Ferrier that night
anu many times again until his face
was a familiar one at the farmhouse.

OF learning the new of the outside

All this Jefferson Hope was able to
tell him, and in a style which interest
ed Lucy as well as her father. He
had been a pioneer in California, and
could narrate many a strange tale of
fortunes made and fortunes lost in
those wild, halcyon days. He had been
a scout, too, and a trapper, q silver ex-
plorer, and a ranchman. Wherever
stirring adventures were to be had.
Jefferson Hope had been there in
search of them. He soon became a
favorite with the old farmer, who
spoke eloquently Of his virtues. On
such occasions Lucy was silent. but
her blushing cheek and her bright,
happy eyes showed only too clearly
ina her young heart was no longer
her own. Her honest father may not
nave observed these symptoms, but
they were asuredly not thrown away
upon b man who had won her affec-
tons.
1t was a summer evening when he
came galloping down the road and
pulled up at the gate. She was at the
doorway and came down to meet him.
He threw the bride over the fence
and strobe up the pathway.
Il am off, Lucy" he said, taking her
two hands in his and gazing tenderly
down into her face; II won't ask you to
come with me now. but will you be

blushing and laughing.

He tore himself away from her as he
spoke, and, fiinging himself upon his

CHAPTER III.
Ferrier Talks with Ia,
Prophet.

Three weeks had passed since Jeffer-
! son Hope and mis- comrades departed
from Salt Lake City. John Terriers
heart was sore within him when he
thought OF the young mans return,
and Of the impending loss OF his
adopted child. Yet her bright and
! happy face reconciled him to the ar
! rangement more than any argument
! could have done. He lad always de-
termined deep down in his resolute
heart, that nothing would ever induce
him to allow his daughter to wed a
! Mormon. Such a marriage he regard
ed as no marriage at all, but as a
. shame, and a disgrace. Whatever he
might think Of the Mormon doctrines,
upon that one point he was ~infiexible.
He had TO seal his mouth on the sub
iect, however, for to express an IN
orthodox opinion was a dangerous
matter in those days n the Land OF
the Saints.
Yes, q dangerous matter-so danger.
Gus that ever the most sanity dared
only whisper their religious opinions
with bated breath. lest something
which fell from their lips might be
misconstrued. and bring down a swift
retribution upon them. The victims OF
persecution had now turned persecut-
ors on their own account. and persecut-
ors of the most terrible description.
Not the inquisition of Seville, nor the
German Vehmgericht, nor the secret
so< IL ties Of Italy. were eve able to
put a more formidable machinery in
motion than that which cast a cloud
over the Territory Of Utah.
Its invisibility. and the mystery
which was attached to Ii, made this or
ganization doubly terrible. 1t appeared

vet was neither seen nor heard. The
man who held out against the church
vanished away. and none knew whith-

turned TO tell them how he had Jared
ut the hands Of his secret judges. a
r~1sh word or a hasty act was followed
BIZ a%rnihilation, and yet none knew
what the nature might be Of this terri
BILE power which was suspended over
them. No wonder that men went
about in fear and trembling, and that

they dared not whisper the doubts
which oppressed them.

Russian Thistle or Russian Tumble
Weed.

The Experiment Station Of the Uni
versity Of Minnesota, st. Anthony
Park, has just issued a bulletin on
the Russian thistle or Russian tumble
weed. AS this bulletin gives direc-
tons for handling this weed every
farmer should have ii, and no school
director, teacher, nor road overseer
should neglect to at once send for n
Of these bulletins, requesting that they
be supplied with out enclosing a
mounted specimen of the plant. This
weed has already gotten started in
the Twin Cities and quite a number
or other places along the railroads in
the state. 1t is important that none
of the plants growing this year be al
lowed to grow large enough to ripen,
as each one blowing about is liable to
infest considerable area Of the sur
rounding land. "A stitch in time saves
nine'' when dealing with this pest.
This bulletin was gotten up ut the sug-
gestion of Gov. Nelson who has re-
quested the railroads to eradicate this
weed from heir right of way, and the
bulletin will be sent to each section
foreman in the state that he may know
what the weed is. The author of the
bulletin recommends that laws be n
acted 10 control this weed. It Is said
that where this weed has gotten a
firm hold in Dakota that the farmers
often find that IL costs as much to clear
the land Of the thorny weed as ii does
to plow and prepare the land for a
crop. This is Of course n terrible tax
on the farmer and If IL Is introduced
into Minnesota and car be stonped or
even retarded IL would be n great bless
Ing to the farmers. Certainly heroic
measures should be taken looking TO
the prevention OF I'll weeds going 10
seed which would he large enough 10

The Closed Mouth.

Indian mothers are wiser in one re
spect than we are. They are most care
full to inculcate the habit Of keeping
their children's mouths shut from their
infancy. When a baby Is laid down to
sleep the mother carefully presses its
lips together. The habit, thus early &C.
auired. seldom departs In after life.
Mothers, al a rule, regard with little
concern an early inclination to keep the
mouth open on the part Of their child
rem. 1t Is a mistake to allow the defect
to pass unnoticed, for, IL only a matter
Of carefullness. 1t may tend to foster a
weakness Of throat or lungs, and IL
from some physical cause, 1t should be
seen to at once, before it Is too late to
the evil.

down the scale to 175 pounds. On her
