Sam offered no objection; the cool i'm.
pudence of this bag-snatcher had takep
his breath away.
"By some means or another" went
on the stranger, you have discovered

Sam, of course, had discovered moth
ing of the kind. By a strange stroke of
luck, however, he did not feel called
upon to speak.
"Now," went on Sans questioner,
when was this bag left in your
charger"
"Three-forty yesterday after
noon"
Can you describe the man who left
it,"
Sam hesitated. He had good reasoni
to doubt his ability to 90 SO. Matters
were getting complicated, and for the
moment he hardly knew whether he
stood on bis head or on his heels. For
tunately, the station master came to his
rescue.
Don't be afraid, Merry" he said en-
couragingly. you have full permits
sion to speak In q case like this. De-
tective Denham will betray no business
secrets"
Detective Denham! Sam had heard
his name mentioned more than once in
connection with the hamburg jewel
robbery. Where ON earth was this
blunder going to end, he wondered.

length, "but think l should know him

fellow, clean shaved, and wore straw

"That's so,' replied Sam, Though not
one in twenty would have noticed it."

farmer lurched heavily against him and
knocked his hat off. AS he stopped to

somewhat risky expedient."

AT the police station Sam had no diff

Don't give way, Peters," said the
detective to the prisoner. you'll have

up at the Left Luggage Office with the

Little by little Sam came to realize
the clever thing he had done.

The Mate h mi king Mamma.

Judging by modern fiction, the moth
err, as such, does not exist in English
society, says Munsey's Magazine. The
female parent Is not extinct, but her
attitude to her daughter seems to be
that of business manager or advance
agent rather than guardian angel. The
ambition which in the American moth
er might be labeled 'My daughters
happiness" becomes, in the practical
code of the British matron, MY daugh-
ters establishment" One seldom picks
up novel of English society that one
does not meet the scheming, lynx-eyed
mamma, working diligently at the
matrimonial grab-bag with one hand
while with the other she pushes for
ward her gentle little ladylike daugh-
ter, who is some day to be metamor-
phosed into British mamma herself.
She Shoes off the detrimental and gath
ers in the heir with unabashed frank
ness, asking intentions and bustlinr
around very much like a steam tug nj
a launching. And when a parti suita-
BILE liz the matter of lands and family
has finally been secured, she heaves n
sigh of relief and prepares to do her
duty by the next.
This picture is not merely the carlo
AZURE of few cynical noveists. Near
ly all fiction that deals with social life
in England shows the same figure. To
be sure, all the worldly and ambitious
parents are not on that side of the
water. We have plenty Of our own
but society gives them only passive
part to play and the national dread of
the ridiculous keeps them from open

Marshall & RoyIe,

Among the most eminent of the
legal firms of Salt Lake City is that
of Messrs, Marshall & Royle. The
firm is composed OF Messrs. Thomas
Marshall and Jonathan c. Royle.
Mr.. Thomas Marshall is a native son
OF Kentucky, the famous blue grass
state that has furnished this country
with so many famous orators and
statesmen. He is sixty years of age
and was first admitted TO the bar
thirty eight years ago. He prac-
ticed for some years in Montana, and
twenty-nine years ago was admitted
to the bar in this Territory. Mr..
Marshall is one Of the most able and
sagacious lawyers in the State and
has been connected with some Of the
most important cases, in the manage
ment of which he gained that cred
it which has made him famous in this
section as an able and gifted attor-
ney. Mr. Jonathan c, Royle is also
a native OF Kentucky and was born
in that state sixty-eight years ago.
He has practiced law for thirty-nine
years and few can claim his expert
ence. He has practiced before the
bar of Colorado, California, Mis-
souri, and Utah, and is one OF the
best read lawyers in the west. Mr..
Royle came to this city twenty-five
years ago and he has been a great
factor in promoting the honor and
fame OF our local bar. These gen
tlemen, although well advanced in
years, are yet hale and hearty, and
are as well and better prepared TO
discharge the duties devolvirg upon
them from an immense clientage,
than they ever were. They conduct
a general law practice and appear be-
fore all the courts. They have been
in partnership since 1878, and have
occupied their present location TOT
twenty-five years.

Fort Platte, built in 1912, near the
junction of the Laramie Fork with
the North Fork of the Platte; the
fort was then crumbling TO ruins,
Two miles distant was Fort Laramie,
the first permanent fort in what IS
now the state of Wyoming. 1t was
built in 1884, Fort Laramie was
5As miles from Winter Quarters, and
was seven weeks travel, by the Pho
necr camp, from that point. For the
entire distance the road had been
along the north side of the Platte.
1t now became necessary to cross to
the other side. The Pioneers had
covered half of their journey to
Utahs mountain vale where they
were destined to find a home, which
as yet they had no definite idea or
but which they trusted in the Lord
TO make known to His servant,
their President and Prophet, Brig
ham Young.

The Sunday encampment, June
13th, was out on the Platte. Com
mencing next day, it took from Mon
day till Friday to ferry the Pioneer
camp across, and in this time it was
necessary to build three rats and a
ferry boat, the latter being formed of
two cottonwood canoes firmly fast
encd with crosspleces. During the
crossing on the roth, James Craig
was thrown from a raft and narrowly
escaped drowning. VIM. S Wards
worth was carried with the raft two
miles down the river before it could
be saved. In drawing the animals
across. one horse was drowned On
the 18th, Thomas Grover, John S.
lligbee, Luke S. Johnson, Appleton
NJ. Harmon, Edmund Ellsworth,
Francis NJ. Pomeroy, VIM. Empey,
James Davenport and Benjamin F.
Stewart we're left to operate the
Platte ferry, which President Young
deemed it wise to establish. This
reduced the company to I52 persons.
The westward Journey was con
tinued on the 10Th, attended with
special precaution against hostile
Indians. Each company of ten took
its turn in the lead during this jour
ney, one ten being in the van one
day and another the next, and so on.
The teams were all in good condi-
ton, and this day recorded the long
est trip made since leaving Winter
Quarters, twenty and one-halt
miles; the camping place at night
was the worst on the journey, the
place being so barren; the swamp
made an awful stencil, the water in
a stream near by was so salty the
animals would not drink it, and the
mosquitoes were dreadful pest,
The next day the journey was to a
better locality. While on the way, a
half dozen Missourians from a COM
pany ahead tried to frightcn the
camp by playing Indian, but got no
good will for their pranks. That
night there was some anxiety for
MILFORD Woodruff and John Brown,
who had gone ahead, and were not

During the stay near Laramie the
Pioneers had repaired their wagons,
and at : o clock on the morning Of
the 4th they resumed icrrying their
wagons over the Platte. BY s a. IN.
the last wagon was over, three hours
later the Mississippians had come
from the fort and united with the
camp, and by noon the Pioneers
were moving on the Oregon road
travelling eight and half miles over
sandy soil, which made them very
hard work. Next day seventeen
miles was traversed; small com
pany of Oregon emigrants passed on
the same road, and the next day a
larger company came along,
Sunday morning was devoted to
fasting, prayer and exhortation, and
in the afternoon it was found neces-
sary to move the camp five miles
farther on. Monday the journey
was resumed, the road being rough
because of the quantities of stone,

ON THE WEST SLOPE OF THE ROCKIES.

The Pioneers now felt that they
we're nearing their destination.
They were beginning to descend the
west slope Of the Rocky Mountains,
in some of the valleys of which they
expected to pitch their camp and
begin farming operations, though it
was already late in the season.
From the inquiries the leading men
made of trappers and guides, it was
evident that the intention was to
stop near one of the lakes, three OF
which they had heard of-Bear
| AXE, Great Salt Lake and Utah
Lake. They also had heard OF a
lake farther south than either OF
these, but seemed to pay no heed to
that. The chiefinterest was between
Utah and Salt Lake, and it was clear
that, from the descriptions received
of the latter and the valley in which
it was situated, it resemblcd nearest
the place President Young had be-
held in vision as the resting place OF
the Latter-day Saints and the center
oftheir settlement in the new coun-
try; hence most ofthe inquiries were
directed to that point.

and the elevation increased fast to-
ward the mountains. There was a
luxuriant growth of grass, and con
siderable timber, Tuesday took the
company into the hills, with the
Black Hills range on the left; the
mountain scenery was regarded as
grand. That day buffalo was
scen-the first for two hundred miles.
The same day party from Fort
Bridger, the first trading post be-
yond the Rocky Mountains, was
met with, en- route to Fort Laramie,
The 9th OF June had a record of
nineteen and quarter miles travel
ed. Spades, hoes and PlciaXes were
in use making the road, as they were
all along this section. The 10th and
nth were without special incident,
except the first named date a com
pany Of emigrants near by had a
runaway which upset two wagons,
injured woman and two children,
and smashed some crocEcry. On the
18th, the road crossed to the north
side Of the Platte, which was usually
fordable but now it was fifteen feet
deep and about a hundred yards
wide. For three days an advance
detachment OF the Pioneers had been
] ierrying over Oregon emigrants in
/ the lcathcrn boat, receiving 81 SO for
! each wagon load and taking flour IN
pay at s.. 50 per 100 pounds, also
some meal and bacon. The earn
iugs were divided equally among the
members of the camp, amounting to
! five and one half pounds OF flour,
two pounds OF meal, and a small
piece of bacon. This food came in
very handy, for the Pioneers were
nearly out. A few miles from the
ferry the hunters killed three buffalo,
two antelope, and grizzly bear and
three cubs.

About AIS p. m, on Monday,
June 2Sth, the Pioneer camp met
James Bridger Of Bridger's Fort, a
station on the route they expected
to travel. This day was the one
succeeding that on which they had
crossed the South Pass ofthe Rocky
Mountains, and their inspiration was
to seek the nearest place to settle.
Mr.. Bridger WAS fairly well acquaint-
ed with the country in a general
way, but was not able to tell much
about it as place for colonization.
1t was. about a hundred miles from
the Pioneer camp to Fort Bridger,
and from there to the Great Salt
