passed into yea, his black hair turned
erizzled, but still he wandered ION, a
human bloodhound, with his mind
wholly set upon the object upon
which he had devoted his life. At last
his perseverance was rewarded. 1t was
but one glance of 3 face in a window,
but that one glance told him that Cleve-
land, in Ohio, possessed b men whom
he was in pursuit of. He returned to
his miserable lodgings with his plan OF
vengeance all arranged. 1t CHANGED,
however, that Drebber, looking from
his window, had recognized the va
grant in the street, and had cad muir
der in his eyes. He hurried before q
Justice of the peace accompanied by
Stangerson, who had become his pri-
vate secretary, and represented to him
that they were in danger of their lives
from the jealousy and hatred of an old
rival. That evening jefferson Hope
wa taken into custody, and not being
able to find sureties was detained for
some weeks. When at last he was lib
Grated. it was only to find that Dreb-
ber's house was deserted and that he
and his secretary had departed for Eu-
rope.
Again the avenger had been foiled,
and again his concentrated hatred
urged him to continue the pursuit.
Funds were wanting, however, and
for some time he had to return to
work, saving every dollar for his APP
preaching journey. At last, having
collected enough to keep life in him,
he departed for Europe and tracked
his enemies from city to city, working
his way in any mental capacity, but
never o~vertaking the fugitiyes. When
he reached st. Petersburg they had de-
parted for Paris; and when he fol-
lowed them there he learned that they
had just set off for Copenhagen. At
the Danish capital he was again a few
days late, for they had journeyed on to
London, where he at last succeeded in
running them to earth. As TO what
occurred there, we cannot do better
than quote the old hunters own ac-
count, as duly recorded in DIR. Natson's
journal. to which we are already under
such obligations.

Married yesterday-that's what

Stangerson as to which was to have
her. They'd both been in the party
that followed them, and Stangerson
had shot her father, which seemed to
give him the best claim; but when
they argued it out in council Drebber's
party was the stronger, SO the
prophet gave her over to him. No one
won't have her very long, though, for
I saw death in her face yesterday. She
is more like a ghost than a woman.

Night vas coming on rapidly, and It
was almost dark before he again found
himself in "A tfefile which was familiar
to him. Even then it W "a no easy mat
ter to keep on the right track, for the
moon had not yet risen, and the high
cliffs on either side made the obscurity
more profound. Weighed down with
his burden and weary from his exer-
tons, he stumbled along, keeping up
his heart by the reflection that every
step brought him nearer to Lucy, and
that he carried with him enough to in
sure them food for the remainder of
their journey.
He had now come TO the mouth OF
the very deflc in which he had left
them. Even in the darkness he could
recognize the outlines of the cliffs
which bounded it. They must, he re-
tiected, be awaiting him anxiously, for
he had been absent nearly five hours.
In the gladness of his heart he put his
hands to his mouth and made the glen
reecho to a loud halo as a signal that
ne vas coming. He paused and listened
for an answer. None came ave his
own cry, which elattered mp the dreary,
silent ravines, and was borne back to
his ears in countless repetitions. Again
he shouted, even louder than before,
and again no whisper came back from
the friends whom he had left such a
short time ago. A vague, nameless
dread came over him, and he hurried
onward frantically, dropping the pre-
cious food in his agitation.
When he turned the corner, he came
full in sight of the spot where the fire
had been lit. There was still a glow
ing pile of wood-ashes there, but it had
evidently not been tended since his de-
parture. The same dead silence still
reigned all round. With his fears
changed to convictions, he hurried on.
There was no living creature les the
remains of the fire; animals, man,
maiden, all were gone. 1t was only
too clear that some sudden and terrible
disaster had occurred during his alb
seneca disaster which had embraced
them all and yet had left no traces be-
hind it.
Bew;ldered and stunned by this
blow, Jefferson Hope felt his head spin
round, and had to lean upon his rifle to

sentially a nan of action, however, and
speedily recovered from his temporary
impotence. Selling a half-consumed
piece of wood from the smouldering
fire, he blew it into a flame, and pro-
ceeded with its help to examine the
little camp. The ground was all
stamped down by the feet of horses
showing that a large party Of mounted
men had oyertaken the fngitiyes, and
the direction of their tracks proved
that they had afterward turned back
to Salt Lake City. Had they carried
back both of his companions with
them? Jefferson Hope had almost per-
suaded himself that they must have
done so, when his eye fell upon an OBJ
ject which made every nerve of his
body Jingle within him. A little way
on one side of the camp was a low
lying head of reddish soil, which had
assuredly not been there before. There
was no mistaking it for anything buta
newly-dug grave. As the young hunter
approached it, he perceived that a stick
had been planted on it, with a sheet of
paper stuck in the cleft fork of it. The
inscription upon the paper was brief,
but to the noint:

barometer and rising temperature.
The first storm period would end,
under normal conditions, about the
7th, but the new moon falling ION
that date, and the combined dis
turbing powers of Mars, Earth and
Venus being SO near the crisis, a
series OF hard and dangerous storms
will most likely center about the

the reactionary disturbances, CEN
trail on the Sth and 9th. On and
touching March 18th is the annual
crisis fer magnetic and electrical
perturbations.
The 18th is the center of the next
regular period. A day or two pre-
vious to that date indications in
westerly parts Of the continent will
plainly show that energetic storms
are brewing. Watch the tempera-
ture, the weather reports, your own
barometer and the clouds. During
18th to 18th, the storms will reach
their crisis and make their sweep
from the western to the eastern ex-
tremes of our continent. At the
close Of storms, each section in its
turn will be struck by a polar wave
of great severity, for the season.
Centerlng on the Goth, 2fst and22nd,

mate knowledge of the mountains en-
abled them to regain the track once
more. When morning broke, a scene
of marvellous though savage beauty
lay before them. In every direction
the great snow-tapped peaks hemmed
them in, peeping oyer each others
shoulders to the far horizon. So steep
were the rocky banks on either side of
them that the larch and the pine
seemed to be suspended over their
heads, and to need only a gust of wind
to come hurting down upon them.
Nor was the fear entirely an illusion,
Tor the barren valley was tnickly
strewn with trees and powders which
had fallen in a similar manner Even
as they passed, a great rock came tkun-
dering down with q hoarse rattle which
woke the echoes in the silent gorges,
and startled the weary horses into e
gallop.
As the sun rose slowly above the
eastern horizon, the caps of the great
mountains lit up one after the other,
like lamps at u festival, until they
were all ruddy and glowing. The mag
nificent spectacle cheered the hearts
of the three fugitives and gave them
fresh energy. At a wild torrent which
swept out of a ravine they called a
halt and watered their horses, while
they partook of a hasty breakfast.
Lucy and her father would fain have
rested longer, but jefferson Hope was
memorable. They will be upon our
track by this time" he said. Every
thing depends upon III speed. Once
safe in Carson. we may rest for the re-
mainder of our lives"
During the whole of that day they
struggled on through the d~eiles, and
by evening they calculated hat they
were more than thirty miles from their
enemies. At night time they chose
the base of a beetling crag, where the
rocks offered some protection from the
chill wind, and there, huddled to-
gether for warmth, they enjoyed a few
hours sleep. Before daybreak, how
ever, they were up and on their way
once more. They had seen no signs Of
any pursuers, and Jefferson Hope be-
gan to think that they were fairly out
of the reach of the terrible organiza-
ton whose enulity they had incurred.
He little knew how far that iron grasp
could reach, or how soon it was to
close upon them and crush them.
About the middle of the second day
Of the flight their scanty store of pro-
visions began to run out. This gave
the hunter little uneasiness, however.
for there was game to be had among
the mountains, and he had frequently
before had to depend upon his rife for
the needs of life. Choosing a shell
tered nook, he piled together a few
dry branches and made a blazing fire,
at which his companions might warm
themselves. for they were now nearly
five thousand feet above the sea level,
and the air was bitter and keen. Hav-
ing tethered the horses and babe Lucy
adieu, he threw his gun over his
shoulder and set ont in search OF
whatever chance might throw in his
way. Looking back, he saw the old
man and the young girl crouching over
the blazing fire, while the three ami
mails stood motionless in the back
ground. Then the intervening rocks
hid them from his view.
He walked for a couple OF miles
through one ravine after another with

Where are you going?"

The prediction of the Mormon was
only too well fulfilled. Whether it was
the terrible death of her father or the
effects of the hateful marriage into
which she had been forced, poor Lucy
never held up her head again, but
pinned away and died within a month.
Her scottish husband, who had married
her principally for the sake of John
Terriers property, did not affect any
great grief at his bereavement; but
his other wives mourned oyer her, and
sat up with her the night before the
burial. as is the Mormon custom. They
were grouped round the bier in the
early hours of the morning, when, to
their inexpressible fear and aston
ishment, the door was flung open,
and a savage-looking, weather.
beaten man in tattered gar
menrs strobe into the room. With
out a glance or a word to the covering
women he walked up to the white, 81
lent figure which had once contained
the pure soul of Lucy Terrier. STOPPING
over her he pressed his lips reverently
to her cold forehead. and then snatch
ing up her hand he took the wedding
ring from her finger. She shall not
be buried in that" he cried, with a
fierce snarl, and before an alarm could
be raised sprang down the stairs and
was gone. So strange and SO brief was
the episode that the watchers might
| have found it hard to believe it them
selves or persuade other people of it,

that the ~circlet of gold which marked
her as having been a bride had disap-

correspondence of the LEDGER.

Correspondence of the LEDGER.
MARsHFIELD, OREGON, Feb. 10
Allow me a small space in the bright
columns of your wide-awake paper
in which to tell of a little backwoods
experience | had some days ago. 1t
was a cold and snowy day when our
stage crossed the Coast Range
mountains. The driver expressed
it as "a raw day" However, the
stage could not reach the foot Of the
mountains and the writer was COM
PEELED to put on his oyercoat and
leggins and proceed on foot, which
was very difficult on account of two
foot snow. Late in the afternoon a
small cabin was reached where re-
quests were made for Il nights lodg-
ing. We were invited in to warm by
an "old colonial fire. which did Us
much comfort, for we were cold and
wet. We had scarcely got balanced
in our seats of rough hewn benches
when numberless ludicrOus ques-
tons began to be asked by everyone
in the house. "Where did you come
from; from the states??" "What is
everybody doing backin the s~tates?"
"Are you buying sheep, hunting
deer, or Just going over to the coast?'
And ten thousand such questions,
while a 10 year-old boy and his II
or 12-year-old sister stood between
US eating their cold "fiap jacks" as
they call their bread and an old.
fashioned South Carolina gourd OF
butter milk in the other hand.
They take a drink of milk and the
fire gets too hot for them; then they
turn around and the old hound dog
samples the milk. We were asked
a number of questions as to the
French and Indian wars, ancient
Roman history and about the treaty
Of Guadalupe-hidalgo. They also
asked Il number of questions about
the Revolutionary and few about
the war OF 1912, but the latter was
too new for them. They haven't
heard much about it yet. Now if
the LEDGER or any of its readers
should fall into such luck as the
writer and be compelled to stop in
such backwoods take an Audrain
boys advice and don't mention the
late European wars, the civil war,
the steam engine, Suez canal or cleo
tricity for they have never heard OF
them and if you do not mention
them you will be all right. Best
wishes for grand old Missouri.
