CHAPTER ~.

In few minutes the captain returned
and found his prisoners ready to 60
with him. Thorndyke looked exceeding
ly handsome in his glossy tights, close
fitting sack coat, tinsel belt and low
shoes, with buckles of gold. The natural
color had come back into his cheeks,
and he was exhilarated over the prospect
of further adventure.
It was not SO, however, with poor
Johnston. His spirits had been go damp
ened by the physicians words that he
could not rally from his dependency
His suit fitted his figure as we'll as that
Of the Englishman, but he could not
wear it with the samo hopeful grace.
"Chcer up" whispered Thorndyke
as they followed the captain through a
long corridor. "If we are Oh our way to
tho stake or block, we are at least going
dressed like gentlemen.
Outside they found the streets lined
with spectators eagerly waiting to see
them pass The men all had suits like
those W which had been given the captives,
and the women wore flowing gowns
like those of ancient Greece.
''These are the common people,
whispered Thorndyke to Johnston, "but
did you ever dream of such perfect fea-
lures and physiques? Every face is full
of merriment and good cheer. am Gu
rious to see the royalty"
Johnston made no reply, for Captain
Tradmos turned suddenly and faced
them.
"Stand here till I return" he said,
and he went back into the house.
Where in the deuce do you think we
are2' pursued Thorndyke. with grim
smile.
Haven't the slightest idea," sighed
Johnston, and he shuddered as he
looked down the long wide street. with
its borders of human faces.
Thorndyke was observant.
''There is not u breath OF air stir
ring" he said, land yet the atmosphere
is like impalpable delicacies to hun
cry mans stomach Look at that big
tree. Not leaf is moving, and yet ev.
cry breath I draw is as fresh as if it
came from mountain top Did you
ever see such flowers as those? Look at
that ocean Of orchids.

The Englishman advanced curiously

The Englishman advanced curiously
and examined the box.
"Don't you see that tiny speck OF
light in the side toward the picture?
Well, the view is thrown from this box
on the wall, and it is the motion of the
powerful light that gives apparent life
to the angel. 1t is wonderful. "
In a commodious alcove, in a glow
Of pink light from above, was q life

colored metal of Spanish girl playing

and an African playing banjo Lux.
urious couches hung by spiral springs
from the ceiling to o convenient height
from the floor, and here and there lay
rugs Of raro beauty and great ottomans
of artistic designs and colors.
1--WE ought to 60 to bed, proposed
Thorndyke. 1--WE shall have plenty of
time to SEQ this Aladdln's land before
We get away from it. "
There were two large downy beds on
quantity wrought bedsteads Of brass, but
the two captives decided to sleep to-
gether.
Thorndyke was the first to awaken.
The lights in the candelabrnm were
out, but gray light came in at the top
and bottom Of the window. He rose and
drew the heavy curtain Of one Of the
windows aside. He shrank back in as
Constituent.

treat you very formally, at least till
you have had audience with the king. "
''Thank you," said the Englishman,
and Tradmos stood up i'll the car to
watch their progress through the circu-
lar glass of little cupola Oh top
Thorndyke smiled at Johnston. but the
American was in no pleasant mood. The
indifference with which Tradmos had
treated him had nettled him.
The machine was now slowly de-
scending. A vast pile of white marble,
with many golden domcs and SPIRES
rose between them and the earth below
ITO tho balcony on the central dome" "
ordered Tradmos through the window
of the drivers compartment, and the
adventures felt the car sweep round in

other and tho next moment they had
landed on wide iron balcony encircllng

dteds of feet above them.

live to overcome 1t.
Tho American looked furtively at
Thorndyke, but the head Of the English
man had sunk on his breast, and he
seemed to be asleep. Johnston had nev-
er felt go lonely and forsaken in his life.
From his childhood he had entertained
secret fear that he had inherited heart
disease. and, like Maupassant's cow
ard, who committed suicide rather
than meet man in a duel, he had tried
in vain to get away from the horrible.
ever present thought by plunging into
perilous adventures
At that moment he felt that he would
rather die than know tho worst fror,
the uncanny instrument that had just
tortured his strong comrade till he was
overcome with exhaustion
II never felt better in my life" he
said falteringly, but it seemed to him
that every nerve and muscle in his
frame was whitening through fear. His
tongue felt clumsy and thick, and his
knees were quivering as with ague.
"Stand still, "prdered the physician
sternly, and Johnston was further hu.
inflated by having Tradmos sympathet-
ically catch hold Of his arm to steady
him.
"Your people are far advanced in the
sciences" went OH the physician cold.

their number who know that the mind

medical man as he released the trem-
bling American, "but you have long be-
lieved in the weakness of your heart,
and it has, Oh that account, become so
You must Danish all fear from your

have place specially prepared for those
who are not physically sound. I am
sorry that you do not stand better ex-
animation.
Tradmos regarded the American with
look of sympathy as he gave him
chair and then rang bell on the table
Thorndyke looked up sleepily as an at
tendant entered with couple of parcels
and glanced wonderingly at his friends
white face and bloodshot eyes.
What's the matter?" he asked, but
Johnston made no reply, for the captain
had opened the parcels and taken out
two suits of silken clothing
"Put them en-" he said, giving suit
Of gray to Johnston and one Of light
blue to Thorndyke "We shall leave you
to change your attire. and l shall soon
come for you"

"Follow me, said the captain stiffly
for there were several guards in white
and gold uniforms pacing to and fro on
the battlementlike walls. He led the
two adventurers through door in the
base Of the dome. At first they were
dazed y u brilliant light from above,

"Where is it lOCated?"
II don't know" Tradmos looked out
at the window for a moment as if to
ascertain that they were going in the
right direction; then lie fixed his dark
eyes OH Thorndyko and asked hesitat-
ingly:
II never thought-I-but do you
know where your country is located?"
"Why, certainly"
"Wcll, l don t know where this one
is. We are taught everything, I think,
except geography. Nothing more was
said for several minutes; then tn cx-
clamation of admiration broke from the
Englishman. The color of tho sunlight
was changing. From east to west with
in the entire arc of their observation
rolled an endless billow Of lavender
light, leaving placid sea Of the same
color behind it. On it swept, slowly
driving back the pink glow that had
been over everything.
II see you like our sunlight" said
Tradmos half intcrrogatiyely.
'Never saw anything like it tefore. "

laughed Thorndyke, attempting an
AmCricanism.
"Well, that is comfort, anyway"
said the captain seriously. "In my time
they have had no solar trouble, but some
of the old people tell horrible tales of a
period when our sun for several days
did not shine at all y
"Can It be possible?" said the Eng.
lishman obviously.
"Oh, yes, and the early settlers had

tecome members of the Church they
are Sc aed with a desire to gather to-
gether, to go TO what they call Zion, AM
dwell with their brethren and sisters.
This movement is not confined to one

from many races and from many nations.
Their hearts are filed with this spirit to
gather to Zion, and we have difficulty at

and we are not prepared to receive
them. They want to be with us when
calamiies go forth, ard they want to

here.
My friends, bear testimony 10 you
that this work is true. have proved it
by innumerable evidences. have
heard men wish that they could have
lived in the DAYS of the Apostles and
heard the voices OF inspired men, and
they would have been wiling 10 endure
all things. There is in the hear OF
man. people yelrning desire TO have
the gifts and graces of the Gospel. a
man ought TO be willing to give every
thing on the earth, even life itself, for
the sake Of the testimony Of Jesus. He
ought to be willing to suffer as His
Master did. He was pers cuted unto
death, and no disciple Of His should be
afraid OF persecution, or afraid OF death.
II we go into that glorious presence,
/, will be grand cons olatiou TO know
that we have endured, 10 some extent,
what our brethren who have gon {, be-
lore us have endured. testify to you
that that Gospel has been restored to
the earth, and the authority has come
down from heaven It was necessary
that IL should come from heaven, be
cause il was not on the earth. The Pope
might ordain a man; the Archbishop OF
Canterbury might ordain man, or any
other ecclesiastical dignitary might or
dain man; but that ordination would
not bring back tue power and the
authority that God Withdrew fr I'M tle
earth when His servants were slain. 1t
required angelic minlstrations. 1t is
most logical, therefore, to state that
through angelic minisirations that
authority has come from heaven. This
Church does not derive its autho lily
from any organization on the earth; il
derives it from heaven. Hence the
authority is perfect authority and it is
able, through the blessings OF CO., TO
show the people that the promises which

A $2o,ooo,ooo FRAUD.

That Ia What the Bridal Package In the
Government Treasury Is Declared to BE.
81 hate to shatter pet delusion by
giving the facts in tho case, said q
former clerk in the treasury department
at Washington, "but fraud ought to DO
exposed regardless Of consequences, and
the greatest fraud / know of Ia the ia
nous bridal package of the treasury
vaults.
81 say famous, but it isn't famous in
a general sense. 1t is famous only
among bridal couples. l don't know
how it is, but every bridal couple that
go to Washington on their wedding
tour-and it seems to me that about
nine tenths of the bridal couples of the
country go to Neutrality-suspicious. all
about that package, and the bride cant
rest until she goes through the regular
routine connected with it. No visit to
Washington by stranger is complete
without an inspection Of the treasury
vaults, but IL his or her visit is nom
bridal one the fraud of the package
isn't played.
~ don't know who it was in the de-
partment that first imposed it on bri-
dial pair, but it went, and it grows in
popularity every year. When the couple
enter the vault, the man in charge, aft
er few preliminary and perfunctory
remarks, reaches up on shelf, takes
down IA package of notes. and tells the
bride to take it in her hand, if sho
hasn't asked for it the very first thing
He then tells her that the package con-
tains $50, 600, 900 in treasury notes, all
in denomination Of $40, 900 each The
bride is delighted, Of course, and when
she goes back home she talks for weeks
about having held $40, 900, 900 in her
hand all at ono time. Tho bridegroom
can't resist enjoying that same pleas
ure, and he fondles the package awhile,
and the pair go away blissful over the
experience, while the treasury vault
man losses the package back on the
shelf and chuckles,
Now this is all simply gigantic
fraud on the young people. The treas-
ury at Washington does not hold that
amount Of money. The bulk of the gov
eminent money is at the subtreasury in
this city That bridal package is
guy deceiver. 1t does contain notes to
the amount of $50, 1000, 900, of tho de-
nomination of $40, 900 each. but they're
not money, because they're not signed.
So instead Of having held in their hands
$40, 600, 900 the happy couple have
fondled simply package that repre-
scented no more value than the price Of
the paper and the printing on it, 1t
may be cruel TO shatter this pretty delu-
sion, but my conscience forbids me to
carry the burden of its concealment any
longer; hence these facts. New York

Several years ago in Wisconsin, before
the Indian had retired from the neigh
borhcod of the white man, mother
and her little girl were alone in their
cottage ON the edge of great forest.
Everything seemed peaceful, and there
was no thought of danger. The mother
sat inside the door sewing, while tho
child was in the bright sunshine play
ing. Their large black dog Cuff was the
only other member Of the family. Sud-
denly half IA dozen Indians fresh from u
recent raid on whisky stood in the door
way and demanded more whisky. The
lady had no whisky, but offered them
food and drink. The Indians, however,
were drunk, and before the mother
could interfere the toughest seized the
little girl and was making Off with her
when the dog, which had wandered
away short distance, came bounding
back. In an instant he had tho savage
by the throat and threw him to the
ground. The others, having no firearms,
beat a hasty retreat. The dog kept Il
tight grip on tho Indian until they had
all gone, then released him, and he also
departed. Our Dumb Animals.
