q year at the most, but combination
of Unforeseen circumstances prevented
his leaving the mines for nearly five.
At the end Of that time,. however, his
memory of his wrongs and his crav-
ing for revenge were quite as keen as
on that memorable night when he had
stood by John Terriers grave. Dis
guised and under an assumed name,
he returned to Salt Lake City, care
less what became Of his own life, as
long as he obtained what he knew to
be Justice. There he found evil It'd
ings awaiting him. There had been
schism amorg the Chosen People a
few months before, some of the young
er members of the church having re-
belled against the authority of the
Elders; and the result had been the
secession Of certain number Of the
malcontents. who had left Utah to be-
been Drebber and stangerson, and
NIB one knew whittier they had gone.
Rumor reported that Drebber had
managed to convert . large part Of
his property into money, and that he
had departed wealthy man, while
his companion 6tAngerson, was COM
paratively poor. There was no clew
at all, however, AZ to their where
abouts.
Many q man, however vindictive,
would have abandoned all thought Of
revenge In the face Of such difficulty,
but JEFFERSON Hope never faltered for
assm0neat.ssyEl11A IN ,smsll compa,

employment al he could Dick MP. he
Travelled from town to town through
the United States in quest Of his enc
mics. Year after year passed, his
black hair turned grixxled; but still
he wandered on, Q human bloodhound,
with his mind wholly set upon the one
object to which he had devoted his
life. At last his perseverance was re-
warded. It was but Q glance at Q
face in the window, but that one
glance told him that Cleveland, In
Ohio, possessed the men whom he
was in pursuit Of. He returned to his
miserable lodgings with his plan of
vengeance all arranged. It CHANGED,
however. that Drebber, looking from
his window, had recognized the vag-
rant In the street. and had read MUIR
der In his eyes. He hurried before a
Justice Of the peace, accompanied by
6tangerson, 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
IN old rival. That evening Jefferson
Hope was taken into custody and,
not being able to find sureties, was
detained for some weeks. When at
last he was liberated, 1t was only to
find that Drebber's house was desert
ed, and that he and his secretary had
departed for Europe.
Again the ave1ger 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 col
lected enough to keep him in life, he
departed for Europe md tracked his
enemies from city to city, working his
way in any mental capacity, but new.
er overtaking the fugatives. When he
reached st. Petersburg they had de-
parted for Paris, and when he follow
them there he learned that they had
just set out for Copenhagen. At the
Danish capital he was again few
days late, for they had journeyed on
to London. where he at last succeed
ed in running them to earth. AZ Is
what occurred there, we cannot do
better than quote the old hunters &C:

ready under such OBLIGATIONS.
