They had reached the base of the
hill Dy this time, and were surrounded
by crowds of the pilg- -pale-faccd,
meek-Iooking women, strong, Laughing

Many were the cries of aSton1shment

them when they perceived the youth or

however, but pushed on, followed by a
great crowd Of Mormons, Until they
reached u wagon, which was colisp'cu-
on; for it's great size, and for the gaudl-
ness and a:Nartness OF it's appearance.
Six horses were yol2ed to 1t, whereas
the others were furnished with two, or,
at most, 1our apiece. Beside the driver
there sat 4 man who could not have
been more than thirty years OF age,
but whose massive head and resolute
expression marked him as a leader.
He was reading a brOWn-backed vol
ume, but as the crowd approached he
laid it aside, and listened attentiyeiy
to an account of the episode Then lie
turned to the two castaWays.
IF we take you with us, he said, IN
solemn words, 'it can only be as be-
levers in our holy creed. We shall
have no wolves in our fold. Better TAR
that our bones should bleach in this
wilderness than that you should prove

in time cor1upts the whole fruit. VIII

terms" said Terrier, with such empha-
sis that the grave elders could not re-

taiEed his stern, impressive expression.
"Take him, Brother Stagerson," he
said. give him food and drink, and the
child likewise. Let ii be your task also
to teach him our holy creed. We have
delayed long enough. Forward! On,

Mormons, and the words rippled down
the long caravan, passing from mouth
to mouth until they died away In a
dull murnur in the far distance. With
a cracking Of whips and a creaking OF
wheels, the great wagons got into mo-
tion. and soon the whole caravan was
winding along once more. The elder to
whose care the two waits had been
committed led them to his wagon,
where a meal was already awaiting
them.
'You shall remain here" he said.
I'm few days you will have recovered
from your fatigues II the meantime

are of our religion. Brigham Young
has said it, and he has spoken with

He never gave reasons for this persist

Curious ills.

London Temple Bar discusses the sub
iect of curious wills and furnishes a
large number Of examples of the idiosyn,
crasies of testators, among them the
following: "a Presbyterian divine left
a legacy to a church at ST. Ives to pro-
vide six Bibles yearly, for which six men
and six women were to throw with disc.
every Whit-Tuesday in the church, while
the minister prayed that the toss might
be directed to the glory of God. Many
years ago an old gentleman, walking
on Dover pier. dropped a gold-headed
cane through one of the holes in the
planks; when he died he left sum of
money the interest of which was to go
annually toward stopping up any cayi-
ties in the floor of the pier. Lady
Frances Wilson, daughter of Lord Ayles-
bury, was one day Informed that a man
who had recently died in a Pimlico lodg-
ing had left her valuable estate in
Hants. Incredulous, she went uptown
and recognized there the remains of a
man who had very frequently ANNOYED
her by staring at her at the opera. The
same man had also bequeathed $4,000 to
the speaker Of the House Of Commons
and $1,000 to the chancellor of the ex,
chequer, neither Of whom had been aware
Of his existence"

Before many more weeks have elapsed
she will haveato share her imperial
grandmother's attentions with the fut-
ure ruler of Russia, to whose appearance
al the imperial family are looking for
ward with great anxiety. The Queen,
too, is naturally much Interested in the
coming event, and voluminous CORE
spondence on the subject is carried on
between her majesty and the young
Czaritsa. whom we all best know as the
Princess Alix. Meantime the wee Grand
Duchess Irene reigns supreme at Peter
