CHAPTER XVII.
The Dream,

The house was silent and stlll. and the
evening shadows We're creeping into the
room where June lay on the bed, pale
and motionless. but her brain was stu
busy. Her thoughts reverted 70 Wilbert
and to the scene OF the wedding In the
little chapel once more she saw the
little church brightly lighted, and made
gay with palms and flowers: she saw
the throng Of happy faces. MS they wero
turned 20 welcome the bridal party;
again she heard the sweet strains of the
Wedding March and the solemn. inn
pressive ceremony; how beautiful the
bride looked, and how happy the bride
groom. Then. ms If in comparison her
thoughts turned TO the endowment house
"a low. adobe building in a corner of tho
temple square, surrounded by a twelve
foot adobe wall She thought OF the
washings. anointings, and secret cere-
monies there of the farce enacted there
OF the Garden of Eden and "the Fall
OF Man., and the secret oaths and cove
nants. as she had heard them described
She thought of the notwithstanding "cn-
dowrnent robcs.' consisting OF an under
gsrment-all In one piece, a shroud,
cap like the bakers wear. white cotton
shoes, and a fig-leai apron.

June and Wilbert Have a Vision

This brought TO her mind all incident
Of few years ago. when as a little

looking anXiouslv for the bit OF silk or

The mother laid them out on the bed
for her to look at. and then proceeded
with her task A shade OF disappolnt-

CHAPTER XVIII.
A Vision.

The cabin where the men cooked ate
and slept WAS about IL hundred feet from
the mill. They cooked and ate their
supper. and sat smoking their pipes and
resting for about i quarter OF an hour;
then they came back TO where Wilbert
was stlll lying ON the ground bringing
boards. nails hammer, saw. and a pick
aud shovel with them. The moon was
up several hours high, but being only
about ha!f fun, 1T gave but a pale light
and cast weird shadows among the sage
brush and pine trees

being buried alive terrified him, and he
made frantic effort TO move or speak.

dangerous proximity of business
shrewdness and downright dishonesty,
They are coming to see that thief is
a thief, whether he robs a man by
stealth at night or the public by legal
technioallties by day. They are coming
to see that a man is thief just as
surely If he sells fifteen ounces Of
sugar for pound as the man who
cheats the government out Of half a
million dollars by shortweighting his
customs. They are even coming to see
that there is nothing really humorous

plain stealing, and thief doesn' t
