TREASURY STATEMENT SHOWS
TOTAL GOLD IN COUNTRY
TO BE $1,5s1,714,71s.

New York, Dec. 10.-The events of
the last week in the financial world
have been such as usually mark the
gradual return of confidence and the
restoration of normal conditions in the
banks. The decision Of the secretary
of the treasury to issue only about
$40.0O0,0O0 of the $3.50, 100000 in new
securities which he expressed a will
ingness to issue If conditions required;
the disclosure of unusually strong re-
serves by country banks reporting to
the comptroller of the treasury; the
decline in the currency premium, and
the improvement in the New York
bank statement have all been features
of the week which have tended toward
stability and reinsurance.
The action of the secretary of the
treasury in limiting the issues of Sc
curities was part of the original plan
recommended to him to meet the stu
alton by a resolute and adequate meas
ure, but to carry the execution of the
measure no further than circumstances
required.
The result of limiting the issue Of
the Panama 2 per cent bonds to $685.
100000 and the one-year treasury GER
tificates to about s15.000,000 will be to
considerably simplify the problem Of

California. They were suspected of
being Federal spies. The night fol-
lowing the meeting which Joel Rae
had attended, these prisoners were at
tackled while they slept. Two were
killed at once; two more after brief
struggle; and the remaining two the
following day, after they had been
pursued through the night. The capa-
BILE Bishop Wright declared in conf
dence to Joel Rae that it reminded
him Of old days at Nauvoo.
The same week was saved Rosmas
Anderson, who had incurred rejection
from Israel and eternal wrath by his
misbehaVior. Becoming submissive to
the decree of the Church, when it was
made known to him by certain men
who came in the night, it was believed
that his atonement would suffice to
place him once more in the household
of faith. He had asked but half day
to prepare for the solemn ceremony.
His wife, regretful but firm in the
faith, had provided clean garments for
her sinful husband, and the appointed
executioners dug his grave. They
went for him at midnight By the
side of the grave they had let him
kneel and pray. His throat had then
/ been cut by def hand, and he was
held so that his blood ran into the
grave, thus concentrating the sacri.
flee to the God of Israel. The widow,
obeying instructions, announced that
her husband had gone to California.
Then the soul of William Parrish, at
Springville, was saved to eternal
glory; also the soul of his son, Bea.
son. For both of these sinful ones
were on the verge of apostasy; had

which were discovered by church
emissaries, fortunately for the eternal

Yet few years later, when the hated
Gentiles had gained some shadow OF

led to this glorious reformation? You
see, Brother Pixley came back with
me, after doing great works abroad.
Naturally, he came full of love for his
wives. But he had been here only a
few days when he became convinced
that one of them had forgotten him;
something in her manner made him
suspect it, for she was a woman of
singularly open, almost recklessly
open, nature. Then a good neighbor
came and told him that one night,
while on his way for the doctor, he
had seen this woman take leave of her
lover-had seen the man, whom he
could not recognize, embrace her at
parting. He taxed her with this, and
she at once confessed, though protest
ing that she had not sinned, save in
spirit You can imagine his grief,
Brother Rae, for he had loved the
woman. Well, after taking counsel
from Brigham, he talked the matter
over with her very calmly, telling her
that unless her blood smoked upon the
ground, she would be cast aside in
eternity. She really had spiritual as
pirations, it seems, for she consented
to meet the ordeal. Then, of course,
it was necessary to learn from her the
name of the man-and when all was
! ready for the sacrifice, Brother Pixley
commanded her to make it known"
Tell me which of Brother Pixley's
wives it was" He could feel the little
cool beads of sweat upon his forehead.
"The fifth, did not say? But to his
amazement and chagrin, she refused
to give him the name of the man, and
he had no way of learning it other
wise, since there was no one he could
suspect. He pointed out to her that
not even her blood could save her
should she die shielding him. But she
declared that he was a good man, and
that rather than bring disgrace upon
him she would die-would even lose
her soul; that in truth she did not
care to live, since she loved him SO
that living away from him was worse
than death. l have said she was a
woman of a large nature, somewhat
reckless and generous, and her mis-
taken notion of loyalty led her to per

Still a Mission to Perform.

1t seems the new ways of getting
through and over the Alps by railways
and tunnels have not wholly done
away with opportunities for the "pious
monks of St Bernard" to show hos.
pttality and even to extend help in a
crisis. There are still venturesome
souls who disregard the injunction to
try not the pass" and who brave the
dangers Of the trip through ice and
snow, and sometimes they fall victims
20 their temerity and have a close call
before they are rescued by the monks
and the dogs. 1t appears from stats.
tics on this subject that last year not
less than 1900 persons, snowbound
and exhausted, were cared for at the
institution maintained by the monks,
and numbers would have persisted but
tor the succor provided. A considera-
Bile portion of those thus helped rep.
resented tourists, including American
and English travellers, though more
than thousand were poor peasants or
tramps making their way over the
mountains because they lacked means
to go in more costly fashion. But all
had the same care at the hospice, and
none was under obligation to give In
return anything more than conscience
and the state of finances suggested.
There is box at the door in which all
offerings may be deposited, but there
is no solicitation from any visitor,
rich or poor. And the chances are,
says Troy Times, that the majority of
the thousand were unable to give even
small pecuniary return for the serv.
ice so readily and mercifulIy extended.

ion was divided on the question or
their ultimate salvation. For it was
announced concerning these, as their
bodies were discovered from time 10
fine that the Indians had killed them.
Il was now that Joel Rae became
conscious that he was facing directly
away frSu the glory he had SO long
soueht and suffered for Though as
vet no blood for Israel had been shed
in his actual presence, he had attend
cd the meetings of the Sons OF Dan,
and was kept aware of their opera
tions, It seemed to him in after years
that his faculties had at this time
been in trance.
He was seized at length with an i'm
mise to be away from it all. As the
DAYS went by with their tragedies, he
became half wild with restlessness
and a strange fear of himself. In
spite of his lifelong training, he knew
there was wrong in the air. He could
not question the DEGREES of the priest
hood, but this much became clear to
him,-that only one thing could carry
with it more possibilities of evil than
this course Of the Church toward dis
senters-and that was to doubt that
Brigham YoungS voice was as the
voice of God. Not yet could he bring
himself to this. But the unreasoning
desire to be away became so strong
that he knew he must yield to it.
Turning this in his mind one day he
met brother Elder man full of
zeal who had lately returned from a
mission abroad. There had been, he
said, great outpourinS of the spirit
in Wales.
and what a glorious day has
dawned here" he continued. Thank
God, there is way to save the souls
of the blind! That reminds me-have
you heard of the saving work Brother
Pixley was obliged to do?"
Brother Pixley?-no" He heard
his own voice tremble, in spite of his
effort at self-control. The other be-
came more confidential, stepping
closer and speaking low.
"Of course, it amt to be talked of
freely, but you have a right to know,
for was it not your own preaching that
The Rice belt journal. (Welsh, Calcasieu Parish, La.) 1900-19??, 1907-06-28

materialized by literal-minded, practi'
cal men.
He heard again the oath he had
sworn, back on the river-t1at: Il Will
assist in executing all the DEGREES OF
the First President, Patriarch, or Pres
ident of the Twelve, and will cause
all who speak evil of the Presidency
or Heads of the Church to die the
death of dissenters or apostates--"
And then he had heard the business of
the meeting discussed. Decisions were
reached swiftly, and orders given IN
words that were few and plain. Even
had these orders been repugnant to
him, they were not to be questioned;
they came from an infallible priest
hood, obedience to which was the first
essential to his souls salvation; and
they came again from the head of an
organization to which he was bound
by every oath he had been taught to
hold sacred. But, while they left him
dazed, disconnected, and puzzled, he
was by no means certain that they
were repugnant. They were but the
legitimate extension of his teachings
since childhood, and of his own preach
ing.

CHAPTER XIV.
How the Souls of Apostates Were
Saved.

How the Souls of Apostates Were
Saved.
The Wild Ram of the Mountains
had spoken to-day; there was work at
hand for the Sons of Dan. When his
Witness at last came to Joel Rae, he
tried vainly to recall the working Of
his mind at this time; to remember
where he had made the great turn
where he had faced about. For, once,
he knew, he had been headed the way
he wished to go, long, plain road,
reaching straight toward the point
whittier al the aspirations of his soul
urged him.
And then, all in a day or in a night,
though he had seen never a turn in
the road, though he had gone a true
and straight course, suddenly he had
looked up to find he was headed the
opposite way. After facing his goal so
long, he was now going from it-and
never turn! It was the wretched
paradox of dream.
The day after Brigham's sermon on
hlood-atonement, there had been a
meeting in the Historians office, pre-
sided over by Brigham. And here for
the first time Joel Rae found he was
no longer looked upon as one too radi-
cal. Somewhat dazedly, too, he real
lied at this close range the severely
practical aspects of much that he
had taught in theory. 1t was strange,
almost unnerving, to behold his own
teachings naked of their pulpit rhet-
ORIG; to find his long-cheFished ideals
