A cheer answered this command, and
at once the work Of destruction began
One of the men outside lit torch, but
he did not long survive to lament his
rashness, for shot from the Prophets
rife stretched him at Bouton's feet.
This incensed the outlaws, and one Of
them, more impetuous than his compan-
ions, picked up the blazing torch and
hurled it into the house. In few min
utes the building loomed out of the
darkness and cruel red light flashed in
the windows
Going back, the Prophet said:
''See. Valentine Kyle, your house is
on fire! 1t is but a speedier form Of the
ruin that must come to every temple
erected by human hands"
''It was the only home left me in the
wide world" sobbed the heartbroken
man.
NAY, speak not so. I have a valley
more beautiful though not SO extensive
as yours, and have home that all the
torches that ever flashed could not burn
down. Fear not for the cold or the hun
geF; my ravens will bring us food, " said
the Prophet with contagious energy.

steel boom, the spar which has now be-
come SO noted in marine architecture,
advantage being gained, in exigencies,
by beginning in the center and rivetin2
the plates toward both ends. In the most
recent instance Of this construction there
were four lines Of angle iron braces ut
equal distances from each other .and
running the whole length of tho boom,
giving it good bracing, the face to the
angles being slightly curved, to take the
concave shape of the interior of the
boom, these angles consisting Of sections
measuring on an average some Is feet,
with lap made at each joint Is inches
in length and bolted with steel. These
laps are irregular, in order that two
joints or more may not be opposite each
other and thus cause weakness.

felt that It would be wise to obey him.
let us follow the Prophet, hus-
band, she said. eagerly. mo harm can
come Of it, for we have ever heard Of
him ~ good man"
Valentine Kyle had come to the con-
clusion that it was not o false alarm
and was hastily putting ON his equip
ments when his daughter Nora, the In
dian girl Kushat, and an old hertler
came rushing in. The herder called ont !:
"There are horsemen in our valley,
and they are galloping this way!''
''That is Bouton's gang" said the
Prophet. Hurry For your lives. hurry!'
In less time than it takes to describe
It Mrs Kyle and her daughter threw on
such covers as they found handy, Mr.
Kyle extinguished the light, and all
went out. II Valentine Kyle had enter
tanned any doubts about the vicinity Of a
considerable body Of horsemen, they
vanished after he had been minute in
the open air. His ears told him that
they were not 200 yards away.
Follow me, +" he whispered ''Inow
every place Of concealment about the
valley"
With his rife in his left hand and his
wife clinging to his right, Valentine
Kyle led the way, followed by Nora and
Kushat, while the Prophet and the In
dian herier brought up the rear.
A few hundred yards back of the house
the foothill Of the highest mountain in
sight was broken into ravines and made
mp Of rock heaps that looked at little
distance like the ruins Of q mighty tenn
pic. Here in the long ago Valentine Kyle
had often played with his boys and his
baby daughter. At the present timo q
few OF the more open spaces were used
as 'corrals for the sheep but there was
not a nook in it that Mr.. Kyle and any
Of his family could not have found
blindfolded.
I'VE are safe here for the present, I
think. Let us wait. I hear them call
ing" said Mr.. Kyle.
They stopped in a little glen that
seemed to be rooted by a projecting
rock, for there was only narrow strip
overhead through whit the stau could
be seen.
They heard the clinking Of arms, the
stamping and painting of horses that had
been hard ridden and the pounding
ON the walls Of tho log house.
"Helloi Hello in there!"
That's Bouton's voice" said the
Prophet.
''Open upi' in a louder and more i'm
perative voice. "Open up, or wen break
in the doorsv'
Start fire." shouted one Of the
men, land burn them out"
Let me go back to q point where I
can talk with those demons without ex-
posing your place Of concealment, said
the Prophet.
Valentine Kyle was about to protest
against this, but before he could do 50
the Prophet had vanished He hurried
in the direction of the outlaws, and
when he thought they could hear him he
called ont:
II am here, Bouton, to answer for
Valentine Kyle
"You! Who are you?' asked Bouton,
and the noise and the shouting ceased
about him.
Do You not know, o firstborn of
Belial?''
"You are the Prophet" gasped Bou.
