duction by Elder Il. H ROBBERS

This volume deals with the history
of the Church from May 3. 1912. to
s1st Of August. 1s4s. 1t. therefore.
covers period of about sixteen
months. The main external events
may bo set down as follows: First.
exposure of the wickedncss of John
c. Bennett. and his departure from
Nauvoo: CD the charge against tho
Prophet Joseph of completely In an at
tempted assassination of ex-governor
Lilburn w. Boggs. under whose cele-
bratcd exterminating order the body
Of the Church was driven from Mis-
sourl; CD the attempt OF the state
of Missouri to eXtraditc the Prophet
from the state OF Illinois. to be tried
as an accessory before tho fact to an
assault on Ex-Governor Boggs: (4)
second attempt on the part OF Mis-
souri, to extradite the Prophet from
the state of Illinois on tho old charge
of murder. treason. burglary. arson,
larceny. theft and stealing. first
brought against him in the year 1898;
west. doubtless with view 10 tho
contemplated removal OF the Saints

OF events that relate moro nearly to
the Church as an organization there
should be mentioned: % the intro
ductlOn or the endowment ceremonies
and enlarged instructions on the sub
ject of baptism for the de3
cd an extension OF auxiliary
organization by bringing into existence
the Young Mems and Women's So
ciety.
Another item of great interest in
this volume Is the manifest develop
ment of the character and spiritual
strength OF the Prophet during this
period The trying experiences
through which he passed seemed to
discover new qualities of soul power
within him, and to emphasize those
which he was known to have possess
ed.
Tho doctrinal development OF tho
period covered by this volume deals
with several Items which may be re-
garded as preliminary TO that richer
unfolding of philosophical thought to
which the last year OF the Prophets
teaching was so largely devoted.

ling story of the dash of a runaway
freight car which broke loose down on
the Tlntic incline. last evening and
came near to playing havoc on the
line.
1t seems that half a dozen loaded
freight cars were standing lock-braked
on the hill, awaiting turn for unload
ing. In some unaccountable manner one
of the loads became disengaged from
the balance of the cars. and started
off down the Boulder summit-hill. AS
soon as 1t was discovered that the car
had broken away. word was wired
ahead to derail 1t, and section hands
placed derailing appliances on the
track to head off the Wild car. The
car went plunging headlong down the
grade and took the derail and all four
wheels left the track and started to
bump along the ties. But the trouble
was not yet ended. The car did not
tip over OF capsize. Instead, 1t struck
frog just beyond. and in threading the
complicated mazes Of the frog rails the
car jumped back on the rails again,
every wheel in its place. and started off
on Its mad race once more. careening
down the mountain side. At a terrific
pace the car dashed down the main
track and bumped head-on full into
the face OF a passenger train which
stood awaiting orders to move on.
Fortunately the engine crew saw the
Wild car before it reached the train.
and jumped for their lives. The ter
riblo impact, however. demolished tho
locomotive. and scattered the contents
of the freight car to the four winds.
Not a passenger on the train was in
jured, and outside the demolition of the
engine. the loss was slight.

cottages and watched the players un-
til satisfied that Gillespie was not
among them, then went home for
luncheon.
A man with bandaged arms, and
clad in a dressing gown, cannot 20
far without attracting attention; and
l was not in the least discouraged by
my fruitless search. I have spent
considerable part of my life in the
engaging occupation of looking for
men who were hard to find, and as l
smoked my cigar on the shady ter
race and waited for lima to replenish
the launch's tank, l felt confident that
before night I should have an under

In the neighborhood of Annandale.
The midday was warm, but cooled
my eyes on the deep shadows of the
wood, through which at intervals l
saw white sails flash on the lake. All
bird song was hnshed. hut a wnnd-
pecker on a dead sycamore hammered
away for dear life. The bobbing of
his red head must have exercised
some hypnotic spell, for slept few
minutes, and dreamed that the wood
pecker had bored hole in my fore.

start that sent my pipe Gathering to
the stone terrace floor. A man who
has ever camped or hunted or been
hunted-and I have known all three
experiences always scrutinizes the
horizons when he wakes, and I found
myself staring into the wood. As my
eyes cought remembered landmarks
here and there, saw a man dressed
as a common sailor skulking toward
the boathouse several hundred yards
away. He was evidently following the
school wall to escape observation, and
l rose and stepped closer to the bal
ustrade to watch his movements In
moment he came out into a little
open space wherein stood a stone
tower where water was stored for the
house, and he paused here and gazed
about him curiously. l picked up a
f1eld-glass from a little table near by
and caught sight Of a swarthy foreign
face under soft felt hat. He passed
the tower and walked on toward the
lake, and dropped over the balus-
trade and followed him.
The Japanese boy was still at work
on the launch, and, hearing a step on
the pier planking, he glanced up, then
rose and asked the stranger his bust
ness.
The man shook his head.
If you have business it must be at
the house: the road is in the other d.

wood, but the stranger remained
stubbornly on the edge of the pier. I
now stepped out of the wood and
walked down to the pier.
