\ clergyman I'm Utah seems to be an
noyed over an assertion recently made
perhaps by someone financially inter-
ested in missionary work in this State,
that the so-oalled churches are not
reaching the Mormons. He replies that
the Methodists have l.500 members,
"a large majority of whom" are from
Mormon families, and that the Presby-
terians have 1.ll6 members. of whom
"a large proportion" We're formerly
Mormons. The combined forces Of
Professionalism report, he says. BIOL
members. many Of whom" were for
merry members Of the Mormon
Church. His reply would have been
more 10 the purpose had he given
figures instead OF speaking OF large
mujoritles" and large proportions
Undoubtedly there are in the various
denominations in Utah some ex-mem-
bers of the Church. and We believe the
general feeling here is that the pastors
are welcome to all the converts they
can obtain by honorable methods.

the sun sank silently, leaving a beaoti-
tul halo behind it 1t was the fourth
time that the water supply had failed.
There was not much humanity in the
faces Of the thirsty men who stood
around Sawney.
&c; up said Jack.
But Sawney didn't get up.
Get up" said Jake again, adding an
oath this time and a kick with his heavy
boot by way OF persuasion.
But still Sawney did not move. Jee
did. though. and the circumference Of
the little circle round Sawney became
instantly larger. Jee spoke first. He
had a right to. because his pistol was
leyeled at Jake's head.
Leave that boy alone" said Jee. His
voice was quite calm as usual. but hoarse
from thirst.
Jake moistened his mouth with sweat
from his hand before he replied. Then
he asked. Who's boss of this show, any.

Jake didn't get out. and Jee calmly
raised the trigger OF his pistol. Jake's
pistol was still al his hip. but he knew
better than to feel for it.

onlookers.

cher. drawing his weapon.
ice managed TO lock around the whole
circle without losing sight OF Jake for
an instant. Then he said, Turn round,
Jake Costa"
Jake did so: not so much at the words
as at the look in Jee's ayes.
Jee sauntered over TO Jake and placed
himself so that their backs touched.
See here. Jake; see here. boys" he
said. I'm going TO stand by this little

Listen to me now, boys. He takes five
steps forward and l take five forward
when you say the word. and the devil
sakes him who turns slowest. Is it a

Consent was given, and silence en-
sued for a moment. The two men STAR
ed straight in front of them. Jee's face
was calm and careless. but Jake's was
evil. 1t was O the tenderfoot he cared
about, but the boss-ship.
Then one OF the onlookers fired his
pistol into the air, and the two princi-
pals started asunder. Each took three
steps forward, but then Jake turned and
fired a shot which made Jee swing round

shots rang out now simultaneously, and
Jake fell to the ground, facing north.

sisted of two fish plates laid flatwise on
