American people in Congress | might re-
spect their prejudice. l well understand
that polygamy void of the moral idea

In the first place, inCongruous as the idea
may seem to an unbelieVer, polygamy Is,
in the Mormon faith, accepted as an insti-
tuition ordered and established by God.
The end Of marriage, according to Mormon
doctrine, is to multiply and replenish the
earth. This office, however, is not meant
for all. Polygamy is not prescribed a
general practice for Mormons 1t involves
great responsibility, and restrictions are
imposed accordingly. Less than per cent
of the Mormons are permitted to be polyg
amous. a man to be allowed to assume

latter would be unquestioned. AS Senator
Rawlins Of Utah, who. by the way, is a

great shock-the opportunity to talk to
woman disposed to do him justice. There
was another woman present rendering Mr.
Roberts honor and devotional daughter
OF his p0lygamous marriage. The latter is
a very charming young woman, about
twenty years old, of attractive face and
figure. Unreasonable force of character and
most womanly dignity. She has peculiar
ly pleasing manner of speech, entirely free
from affectation of any sort, her style of
address being characterized by simplicity
and direCtness which together with reserve

start from the post, that the leaders in
the long extended column hove in sight
Of patch Of green down in distant
depression to the south that marked the
site Of Crockett Springs. Beyond it,
hemming the broad, shallow valley,
there rose long wave Of bare, desolate
heights, rounded and billowing in soft
and graceful contours as they rolled
away northeastward, abrupt and jagged
toward the south and southwest, where
the stream seemed to have torn path.

springtide that foamed away toward
the broader valley Of the Bravo.

They swear that not all hour after sun

They saw the dust against the sky and

the trail, and they swear there must

words when the sutler himself came
galloping over the parade, "hot foot"
on his wiry mustang and drew up in
front Of the gate. ''Has the sergeant

Ter was breathless, bareheaded and only
half dressed. Anywhere from $50, 900
to $40, 900 might be diverted from it's
proper and legitimate use if that Friday
gang should overpower the guard and
get away with it. His Golfers were filled
with sutler checks redeemable in cur
rency at the pay table, as was the vaunt-
ed way of the old army. It was a case
Of feast or famine with Fuller, and he
poured his tale into sympathetic ears.
Brooks himself went over to the colo
nel's and found that weasel of a chief
already awake.
Mrs. Frazier didn't allow galloping
over her parade in the dead Of the night
without al attempt to detect the perpe-
traitor. That vigilant dame had more
than once brought graceless skylarkers
to terms and the quadrupedante putrem

to her incensed and virtuous ears only
the mad lark Of some scapegrace subal-

attentive to 'Manda as be should have

fairly drew rein.

reached the door Fuller had hurried up
his stiff and wearied scouts and in the
presence of little party Of officers the
story was told again, and told without
break or variation. There was only one
opinion. The scattered outlaws had
easily got wind of the coming Of the
paymaster with his unusual amount of
treasure, and, quickly assembling, they
were heading away to meet him far to
the southeast of the big post, very pos
sibly planning to ambuscade the party
in the winding defles Of the San Saba
hills. Not a moment was to be lost. For
the first time the full weight Of his d.
vorce from all that was once his profess
sion and his pride fell on Ned Law
renee, as for an instant the colonel's
eyes turned to him as Of old-the DASH
ing and successful leader Of the best
scouts sent from Worth in the last two
years. Chen, as though suddenly realiz-
ing that he had no longer that arm to
lean on, old Frazier spoke:
"Why, Brooks, you'll have to go. 1
can't trust such a command to Mullane,
and it'll take two companies at least
And 20 minutes later, answering the
sharp summons of their veteran SER
geants, the men Of Mullane's and Bar
clay's troops were tumbling out of their
hunks and into their boots, "hell bent
for rousin ride, and the old captain
OF Troop D was saying to the new:
"Captain Barclay, may ask you for a
mount? I've been longing for two years
past for a whack at this very gang, and
now that the chance has come cannot
stay here and let my old troop co."
And all men present marked the mo-
ment Of hesitation, the manner Of re-
luctance, before Barclay gravely an
swered, "There is nothing at my dis
posal to which you are not most well
come, Colonel Lawrence, and yet-do
you think-you ought to go?''
II could not stay here, sir, and see
my old troop go without me-" was the
answer.
Few were the families at Fort Worth
that were not up and out on the piazzas
or at the windows to see Brooks de-
tachment as it marched away in the
light Of the setting moon just as the
stars were paling in the eastern sky,
but the merciful angel Of sleep spread
her hushing wings over the white bed
where two children lay dreaming, and
never until the troopers were miles be-
yond the vision Of the keen eyed SEN

before, was once more riding the Texan

The Dutch in Ae.1~

The Cape Dutch have no enthusiasm
for the English empire and the English.
To study their history from the time
we came to the cape will explain that
fact. But it is to their interest to be
loyal, and they know it. And their OPP
ponents know it. But in the South
African political war game anything is
good enough to beat Dutch dog with.
The Dutch are slow. They are mostly
uneducated, as we understand educa-
ton. They often seem stupid TO a
quicker or town-bred mind. But the
man who buys a Dutchman for a fool
will have hard bargain. Even n
blindfolded Dutcbman knows on which
side his bread is buttered, and their
motto in international politics is Bet
ter the devil we know than the devil we
don't know."-Fortnightly Review.
