rt laat 4onnd himsalf in a deflle which

1t last found himself in a detile which was familiar to him. Even then it was no easy matter to keep to the right track, For the moon had not yet risen, and the high cliffs on either sido made the ob- scurity more profound. Weighed down with his burden and weary from his ex- ertions, he stumbled along, keeping up his heart with 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 ill which he had left them. Even in the darkness he could recognize the outlines of the cliffs which bounded it. They must, he reflected, 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 re-echo to loud halloo as a signal that he was coming He paused and listened for an answer None came save his own cry, which clattered up the dreary, silent raviues and was borne back to his ears in conntiess repetitions. Again he shouted, even louder than before, and again no whisper came back from the friends whom he had left such short time ago. A vaguc, nameless dread came over him, and he hurried onward frantically, dropping the precious food in his agita- tion.
 When he turned the corner, he came full ill sight of the spot where the fire had been lit. There was still a glowing pile of wood ashes there, but it had evil dently not been tended since his depar- ture. The same dead silence still reigned all arounA. With his fears all changed to convictions, he hurried on. There was no living creature near the remains of the fire-animals, man, maiden, all were gone. It was orly too clear that some sudden and terrible Gi aster had occurred during his abscnce-a disaster which embraced them all aud yet had left no traces behind it.
 Bewilde1ed aud stunned by this blow, Jefferson Hope felt lis head spin round and had to lean upon his rife to save himself from falling. Ho Was essential ly man of action, however, and speed lily recovered his temporary impotence. O81A1UR GA u0I1 COIISttuA6Nl ElGC0 Ol WGOsl from the smoldering fire, he blew it into flame and proceeded with its help to examine the little camp. The ground was all stamped down hy the feet of horses, showing that large party Of l mounted men had overtakcn the fugi- tives, and the direction of their tracks proved that they had afterward turned back to Salt Lake City. Had they car ried back both of his companions with them? Jefferson Hope had almost per suaded himself that they must have done so whom his eye fell upon all ob ject which made every nerve of his body jingle within him. A little way on one side of the camp V"s a low lying heap of reddish soil which hal aSSurcdly rot been there before. Thcro was TO h:;s- l taking it for anything but a newly t;ug grave. As the young hunter approached 1 it he perceived tiitt " stick lad Lcon planted on 1T, with shctt oS pap r stuck ill the cleft fork of il.

The sturdy old man, whom he had left so short :s time before, was gone then, and this was all his epitaph. Jef- ferson Hope looked wildly around to see if there was a second grave, but there was no sign Of one Lucy had been car ried by their terrible pursuers to fulfill her original destiny by becoming ono of the hareEl of the elders son. As the young fellow realized the certainty of her fare and his own powerlessness to prevent it Inc wished that he, too, was lying with the cd farmer in his last silent resting place.
 Again, however, his active spirit shook off the lethargy which springs from despair. If there was nothing else left to him. he could at least devote his life to revenge. With indomitable pa- tience and perseverance Jefferson Hope possessed also power of sustained vim dictivencss, which he may have learned from the Indians among whom he had lived. As he stood by the desolate fire he felt that the only one thing which could assuage his grief would be thor ough and complete retribution brought by his own hand upon his enemies. His strong will and untiring energy should, he determined, be devoted to that one

 On the sixth day he reached Eagle canyon, from which they had commence ed their i'll fated flight. Thence he could look down upon the home of the saints Worn and7exhausted, he leaned upon his rife and shook his gaunt hand f1ercely at the silent, widespread city beneath him. As he looked at it he ob, served that there were flags in some of the principal streets and other signs of festivity. He was still speculating as to what this might mean when he heard the chatter of horse's hoofs and saw mounted man riding toward him. As he approached he recognized him as Nor mon named Cowper, to whom he had rendered services at different times He therefore accosted him when he got up to him, with the object of finding out what Lucy P2rrier's fate had been

 ''She was married yesterday to yourg Drebber Hold up, man; hold up! You have no life left in you. ''
 Don't mind me, - said Hope faintly. He was white to the very lips and had sunk down on the stone against which he had been leaning. Married, you say?'' -
 Married yesterday. That's what those flags are for on the Endowment house. There were some words between young prebber and young Stangerson as to which was to have her. They'a both been in the party that followed them, and Stangerson had shot her fla ther, which seemed to give him the best claim, but when they argued it out in council Drebber's party was the atron:

A STUDY IN SCARLET.
By A. CONAN DOYLE.

What was that? In the silence he heard a gentle scratching sound-low, but ver7 distinct, i'll the quiet of the night It came from the door of the house Terrier crept into the hall and listene(i intent!y There was pause for few moments, and then the low, in sidious sound was repeated. Some one was evidently tapping very gently upon one of the panels of the door. Was 1t some midnight assassin who had come to carry out the murderous order of the secret tribunal? Or was it some agent who was marking up that the last day of grace had arrived? John Terrier felt that instant death would be better than the suspense which took his nerves and chilled his heart Springing forward, he drow the bolt and threw the door open.
 Outside all was calm and quiet The night was fine, and the stars were twinkling brightly overhead. The little front garden lay before the farmers s eyes, bounded by the fence and gate, but neither there nor on the road was any human being to be seen. With sigh of relief Terrier looked to right and to left, until happening to glance straight down at his own feet he saw to his astonish- ment man lying fiat upon his face upon the ground with arms and legs all i a-spraWl.
 So unncrvcd was be at the sight that 1 lie leaned up against tho wall with his | hand to lis thUrat to stif1e his inclina- tion to call out His first thought was that tho prOstrate figure was that of some wounded or dying man, hut as he watched it ho saw it.

 MOST IMPORTANT OF TT EI ALL.
 Everybody needs spring medicine-a remedy which will strengthen and invig- crate the system, and tone up the action of all the organs. The change from cold to warm weather causes a depression of the vital forces, resulting in weakened nerves, impure blood, and inactive organs.
 Our esteemed correspondent, Mrs. A. S.. Gould, writes us from Garland, Me. some facts in regard to this subject which will be of great interest and value just at this season:
 Through the loss of my mother. the sickness of my husband, and the extra work which fell upon me, I was thrown into condition of nervous and physical exhaustion. grew constantly worse. I cannot find words to express that terrible feeling that existed through my whole system-a feeling of utter weakness and prostration, with strange nervous sensa- tions.
 My right foot was so bad it was with great difficulty could walk. I had to place my foot every way to keep from falling. My hands and arms were weak, numb and prickly. was very tired ali the time. There was heavy dull feeling in my limbs. Nights they seemed like lead weights. When out riding a mile distance, they would feel as though had lost the use of them. I would move my fingers and arms to see if I could. I ex- pected any day to be found paralyzed.
 ''Then l began to take Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. The first bottle did not seem to help me much, but the second bottle did, and made me hetter l kent on nsinC it.

 Now 1 am feeling we'll, can do all my though 8 great burden had been rolled away from me. 1 am doing great amount of work every day, and Ofter walk, besides, as much as two miles.
 ''I think I will pass for smart old la. dy, so much for Dr. Greeue's Nervurg blood and nerve remedy! can truly say it has done wonders for me. cannot speak too much in praise of it, for it has been the greatest blessing to me.
 II only wish other people afflicted with disease would try it-not one bottle, but several, in order to give it fair trial truly think they would never be sorry My earnest prayer is that this wonderful remedy may go out into the wide world tC sick and suffering humanity"
 If you want to be perfectly strong and healthy the best possible thing to do is tc take this great ourer and strengthener. You can be cured quicker in the spring than at any other season. Youmust take spring medicine, everyone knows that, and Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy is the best and most certain, be- cause it always cures.
 It is not a patent medicine, but the pre- scription of the most successful living specialist in curing nervous and chronic diseases, Dr. Greene, of 35 West 14th St., New York City. He has the largest practice in the world, and this grand med ical discovery is the result of his vast ex- perience. The great reputation of Dr. Greene is a guarantee that his medicine will cure, and the fact that he can be con- suited by anyone at any time, free of charge, personally or by letter, gives ab- solute assurance of the beneficial action of this wonderful medicine.

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.

n Bit OF Gossip i'm Regard to Pros-
pcctivc Candidates in this State.
Correspondence Atlanta Constitution.
"Tho constitutional convention will
provo tho greatest political graveyard
over seen in South Carolina" Is u re-
mark credited to one OF the most prom
inent OF the States politicians.
ibis may prove true, for seldom has
anything stirred the political pot so
deeply and caused so many ambitions
to rise to the surface. The byplay be-
tween Governor Evans and Senator
lrby for the United States Senatorship
that the next Legislature will have to
I'LL WAS an expected incident to tho
convention and created no surprise.
The pot was quietly simmoring, but it
began to boil violently when tho con-
ventiOn decided to add another NOM
Dor to the Supreme Court. Then the
friends OF deserving men began to
plume their candidates.
Speaker of the House Ira b. Jones
most naturally was prominently men
toned, as he had bcon u candidate for
the Associate Justicoship now filed by
Justice Gary, by whom he had been
defeated. The friends of Colonel Rob
ert Aldrich, of Barnwcll, and he has
very many, think him particularly we'll
qualified for 80 high position, and his
claims are being presented. 1t was
not strange, either, that Hon. George
Mower, of New berry, who has done
much to promote peace and unity in
the State, and whose abilities as q
lawyer had been recognized by the ad-
mlnistratiOn, 80 much 80 that he had
been retained to aid tho attorney gem
eral in legal matters Of greatest mo-
ment to the State. Nor was it unnat-
ural that Hon. d. S. Henderson, of
Aiken, should also be mentioned. He
has boen recognized as one of the lead
ing lawyers of the State, and in the
convention he has made q bright rec
ord. Circuit Judge Earle, who, though
he opposed Senator Tillman for the
governorship, had his eminent abili-
ties so far recognized by the roformers
as to be elected to the circuit bench by
them. Other candidates will probably
appear later, but as can be seen the
next legislature will not have difficulty
In finding good material on which to

Should Judge Earle be elevated to the
Supreme Bench, Mr.. Haynsworth's
claims to the Circuit Bench would be
presented as a fit successor to Judge
Earle. Solicitor Beuinger, of Barn.
