and again no whisper came back from
the friends whom he had left such q
short time ago. A vague, namcless
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 w~ood-ashes there, but it had
evidently not been tended since his de-
parture. The same dead silence still
reigncd all round. With his fears
changed to convictions, he hurried on.
There was no living creatu e the
remains of the fire; animals, nan,
maiden, all were gone. II was only
too clear hat some sudden and terrible
disaster had occurred during his alb
nce- disaster which had embraced
them all and yet had left no traces be-
hind IL.
Bewildered and stunned by this
blow, jefferson Hope felt his head spin
round, and had to lean upon his rifle to
save himself from falling. He was es-
scntially q man of action, however, and
speedily recovered from his temporary
impotence. Selling "a half-consumcd
piece of wood from the smouldering
fire, he blew IL into q 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 overtaken the fugitives, and
the direction Of their tracks proved
that they had afterward turned back
20 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 n side Of the camp was a low.
lying head of reddish soil, which had
assuredly not been there before. There
was no installing 1t for anything but q
n~cwly-dug grave. AS the young hunter
approached IL. he perceived that a stick
had been planted OF it, with a sheet OF
paper stuck in the cleft fork of it. The
inscription upon the paper was brief,
but to the point:

sion, while his eyes glowcd with =
baleful light.
"Where are you going?"
Never mind" he answered.; and,
singing his weapon over his shoulder,
he strobe off down the gorge and 80
away into the heart of the mountains to
the haunts Of the wild beasts. Among
them all there was none SO fierce and
SO dangerous as himself.
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
pined 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 over 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 q savage-looking, weather.
beaten man in tattcred gar
ments strobe into the room. With
out a glance or a word to the covering
women he walked up to the white, ST.
lent figure which had once contained
the pure soul of Lucy Ferrier. 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. "Shc shall not
be buried in that" he cried, with n
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 il hard to believe il them
selves or persuade other people of it,
had it not been for the undeniable fact
that the %circlet Of gold which marked
hera having been a bride had disap.
peared.

ont success, though from the marks
upon the trees, and other indications.
ne judged that there were numerous
bears in the vicinity. At last, after
two or three hours frnitless search, he
was thinking Of turning back in de-
SPAR, when, casting his eyes up
ward, he saw u sight which sent a
thrill OF pleasure through his heart.
On the edge of q jutting pinnacle,
three or four hundred feet above him,
there stood n creature somewhat re-
sembling a sheep in appearance. but
armed with a pair of gigantic horns.
The big-horn, for sc IL is called-was
acting, probably, as n guardian over a
flock which were invisible to the hun
ter; but fortunately it was heading in
the opposite direction, and had not per-
ceived him. Lying on his back, he
rested his rife upon a rock, and took n
long and steady aim before drawing
the trigger. The animal sprang into
the air, tottered for a moment upon
the edge OF the prccipice, and then
came crashing down into the valley
beneath.
The creature was too unwieldy' to
lift, so the hunter contented himself
with cutting away one haunch and a
part OF the flank. With this trophy
over his shoulder, he fastened TO re-
trace his steps, for the evening was al
ready drawing in. He had hardly
started, however, before he realized
the difficulty which faced him. In his
eagerness he had wandered fur past
the ravines which were known to him,
n 1t was no easy matter to pick out
the path which he had taken. The val
ley in which he found himself divided
md subdividcd into many gorges,
which were so like each other that IL
wa impossible to distinguish one from
the other. lie followed one for n mile
or more until he came to a mountain
torrent which he was sure that he had
never seen before. Convinced hat he
had taken the wrong turn, he tried
another, but with the same result.
Night was coming on rapidly, and it
was almost dark before he again found
himself in a defile which was familiar
to him. Even then it was 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-
tions, 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 defile 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-
iected, 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 u loud halo as a signal that
he was coming. lie paused and listened
for an answer. None came save his
own cry, which clattered up the dreary,
silent r~avines, and was borne back TO
his ears in countless repetitions. Again
he shouted ever. louder than before,

safe In Carson, we may rest for The re-
mainder Of our lives"
During the whole Of that dry they
struggled on through the defl,s, and
by evening they calculated that they
were more than thirty miles from their
enemies. At night time they chose
the base of a beetling crag, whore the
rocks offered some protection from the
chill wind, and there, huddled to-
gether for warmth, they enjoyed a few
hours sleep. Before daybrcak, how
ever, they were up and on their way
once more. They had seen no signs of
any p%ursuers, and jefferson Hope be-
gan to think that they were fairly out
of the reach Of the terrible organiza-
ton whose enmity they had incurred.
He little knew how far that iron grasp
could reach, or how soon IL 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 10 be had among
the mountains. and he had frequently
before had to depend upon his rifle for
the needs Of life. Choosing a shell
tered nook, he piled together q 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 tethcred the horses and babe Lucy
adicu, lie threw his gun over his
shoulder and set out 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.

rapid progress. Only once did they
meet anyone, and then they managed to
slip into u field and so avoid recogni-
tion. Before reaching the town the
hunter branched away into u rugged
and narrow footpath which led to the
mountains. Two dark, jagged peaks
doomed above them through the dark
ness, and the defilc which led between
them wat the Eagle canyon In which
tho horses were awaiting them. With
unerring instinct Jefferson Hope
picked his way among the great
powders and along the bed OF n dried
up water-course, until he came to the
retired corner, screened with rocks,
where the faithful animals had been
pickcted. Tho girl was placed upon
the mule, and old Fcrricr upon one Of
the horses, with his %money-bag, while
Jefferson Hope led the other along the
precipitous and dangerous paths.
II was a b%cwildering route for any
ono who was not accustomed TO face
Nature In her widest moods. On the
one side a great crag lowered up n
thousand feet or more, black, stern and
menscing, with long basaltic columns
upon It's rugged surface like the ribs
OF some petrifled monster. On the
other hand q wild chaos of powders
and debris made all advance impossi.
BILE. Between the two ran the irrcgu.
lar track, SO narrow In places that
they had to travel in Indian file. and 80
rough that only practiced riders could
have traversed II ut all. Yet, In spite
Of all dangcrsand difficulties, the hearts
OF the fugitivcs were light within them,
for every step increased the distance
between them and the terrible despot
Ism from which they were flying.
They soon had a proof, however,
that they were still in the Jurisdiction
OF the Saints. They had reached the
very widest and most desolate portion
OF the pass when the girl gave a
startled cry and pointed upward. On
. rock which overlooked the track,
showing out dark and plain against
the sky. there stood q solitary sentinel.
He saw them rs soon Us they perceived
him, and his military challenge OF
"Who goes thereP" rang through the
silent ravine.
"Travelers for Nevada" said JEFF
ferson Hope, with his hand upon the
RHO which hung by his saddle.

son Hope promptly, remembering the
countcrsign which he had heard in the
garden.
"Pass, and the Lord 60 with you,"
said the voice from above. Beyond
this post the path broadened out. and
the horses were able to break into q
trot. Looking back, they could see
solitary watcher leaning upon his
gun, and knew that they had passed
the outlying post of the chosen people,
n that freedom lay before them.

mate knowledge Of the mountains en-.
abled them to regain the track once
more. When morning broke, q scene
OF marvellous though savage beauty
lay before them. In every direction
the great snow-cappcd peaks hcmmed
them in. pecping over each others
shoulders to the far horizon. So steep
we're the rocky banks on either side OF
them that the larch and the pine
secmed to be suspended over their
heads, and TO need only u gust of wind
70 come hurting down upon them.
Nor was the fear entirely an illusion,
for the barren valley was thickly
strcwn with trees and powders which
had fallen in q similar manner. Even
as they passed, n great rock came thun-
dering down with q hoarse rattle which
woke h echoes in the silent gorges,
and startled the weary horses into q
Rsllop.
As the sun rose slowly above the
eastern horizon, the caps of the great
mountains lit up one after the other,
like lamps at a festival, until they
were oil 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 q
halt and watered their horses. while
they partook OF a hasty breakfast.

SMUGGLING.

A curious case of alleged smuggling hasjust
been tried at a special sitting of the Circuit
Court. The defendants were two we'll known
gentlemen, Messrs. j. II. and Oswald Mike,
jewellers, of Kingston. 1t was alleged that
Mr.. Oswald endeavoured to smuggle various
silver articles and a number Of spectacles as
a passenger landing from the "AleneS IN

promising circumstances in a drawer in the

silver goods were his wife's wedding presents

the defence stated, no intention to pass them
without paying duty. The judge dismissed
the case saying that there had been nothing
