SYNOPSIS.

Captain Nathaniel Plum Of the sloop
Typhoon, lands secretly on Beaver is
land, Lake Michigan, stronghold of the
Mormons. Obadiah Price, an eccentric
old man and councillor Of the Mornons,
who has been spying on him, suddenly
confronts him and tells him he is expect
ed. Plum insists he has got the wrong
man. Price ignores his protestations and
bargains for the ammunition on board
the sloop. He binds Nat by a solemn oath
to deliver package to Franklin Pierce,
president of the United States. He agrees
to show Plum the Mormon town, st.
James. Plum sees the frightened face
OF a young woman in the darkness near
Prices cabin. She disappears, leaving an
odor of llacs. 1t develops that Plum's
visit to Beaver island is to demand set
Element from the king. Strang, for the
looting of his ship some time previously
by men whom he suspected Of being Nor
mons. Burke, his mate. has been left in
charge of the sloop with orders to bonn
bard St. James if the captain does not re-
turn within a certain time. Price takes
Nat secretly in the darkness to the kings
house and through a window he sees
Strang and his seven wives, among whom
IS the lady of the llacs, who Price says
is the seventh wife. Prices actions lead
Plum to believe that he is Jealous of
Strang. Plum calls at the kings office.

My little son, when about year

clan treat him, but the sores grew
worse Then they began to come out
on his arms, then on other parts Of
his body, and then one came on his
chest, worse than the others. Then
called another physician. Still he
grew worse. At the end Of about
year and a half Of suffering he grew
so bad that l had to tie his hands in
cloths at night to keep him from
scratching the sores and tearing the
flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton,
and was hardly able to walk.
MY aunt advised me to try Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. I
sent to a drug store and got cake Of
Cuticura Soap and d box of the Oint-
ment and followed directions. At the
end of two months the sores were all

Of any kind since. l can sincerely say
that only for Cuticura my child would
have died I used only one cake Of
Cuticura Soap and about three boxes

appearance had not prepossessed Ma

he recognized that which had made

self sinking in the presence of this
man and struggled fiercely to regain
himself. He withdrew his hand and
Strengthened himself like a soldier.
Il have come to you with a griev-
ance, Mr.. Strang," he began. "A
grievance which | feel sure you will
do your best to right. Perhaps you
are aware that some little time ago
about two weeks back-your people
boarded my ship in force and robbed
me Of several thousand dollars worth
of merchandise
Strang had drawn a step back
Aware Of it," he. exclaimed in
voice that shook the room. Aware
Of it," The red of his face turned
purple and he clenched his free hand
in sudden passion. Aware of it," He
repeated the words, this time so gent
ly that Nathaniel could scarcely hear
them, and tapped his heavy stick upon
the floor
mo, Captain Plum, l was not aware
of it. If | had been" He shrugged his
thick shoulders. The movement, and
a sudden CLEAN Of his teeth through
his beard, were expressive enough for
Nathaniel to understand.
Then the king smiled.
Are you sure-are you quite sure,
Captain Plum, that it was my people
who attacked your ship? If SO, Of
course you must have some pr00f?'
I'VE were very near to Beaver is
land and many miles from the main

still have time! You must go-you
must 60"
She strove to pull him across the
room.
"There-through that door," she
urged.
The slowly ascending steps were
half way up the stairs. Nathaniel hes
itated. He knew that moment be-
fore there had passed through that
door one who carried with her the
odor of lilac and his heart leaped to
its own conclusion who that person
was. He had heard the rustic of the
girls skirt. He had seen the last
inch of the door close as Strangs wife
pulled it after her. And now he was
implored to follow! He sprang for
ward as the heavy steps neared the
landing. His hand was upon the latch
when he paused Then he turned
and bent his head close down to the
girl
mo, I won't do it, my DEAR" he
whispered. "Just now it might make
trouble lOT-nSr.
He lifted his eyes and saw a man
looking at him from the doorway. He
needed no further proof to assure him
that this was Strang, the king of the
Mormons, for the Beaver island
prophet was painted well in that re-
gion which knew the grip and terror
OF his power. He was massive man,
with the slow slumbering strength of
a beast. He was not much under
fifty; but his thick beard, reddish and
crinkling, his shaggy hair, and the full
fed ruddiness of his face, with its
foundation Of heavy jaw, gave him a
more youthful appearance. There was
in his eyes, set deep and so light that
they shone. like pale blue glass, the
staring assurance that is frequently
born of power In his hand he car
ried a huge metal knobbed stick.
In an instant Nathaniel had recov-
bowling coolly.
Il am Captain Plum, of the sloop
Typhoon," he said. Il called at your
home a short time ago and was di-
rected to your Office. AS a stranger
on the island [ did not know that you
had an Office or | would have come
heve first"
"Ah!"
The king drew his right foot back
half pace and bewed so low that
Nathaniel saw only the crown of his
hat When he raised his head the
aggressive stare had gone out of his
eyes and welcoming smile lighted
up his face as he advanced with eX-
tended hand.
Il am glad to see you, Captain
Plum
His voice was deep and rich, filled
with that wonderful Migratory power
which seems to strike and attune the

Nathaniel retired with another bow.
BY thunder, Strang, old boy, you've
certainly got an eye for beautyt' he
laughed as he hurried through the
grove.
And Obadiah Price must be some
body, after ALL"
The Mormon temple was the largest
structure in st. James, a huge square
building Of hewn logs. and Nathaniel
did not need to make inquiry to find
1t. On one side Was a tWO-StOry build

to the upper floor, and a painted sign
announced that on this second floor

soon enough to see the person who
had just disappeared through an OPP

she hurried toward him, the most

"I-I-tel you SOL" stammered the
young girl "I--I-heard the king
they will kill YOU" Her lips trem-
bled Nathaniel saw that her eyes
were already red from crying You
will go?' she pleaded.
Nathaniel had taken her hand and
now he held it tightly in his own. His
head was thrown back, his eyes were
upon the door across the room. When
he looked again into the girlish face
there was flashing joyous defiance in
his eyes, and in his voice there was
confession of the truth that had sud-
denly come to overWhelm whatever
law of self-preservation he might have
held unto himself.
No my dear, | am not going back

unless she who is in that room comes

DRINK WATER TO CURE
KIDNEYS AND RHEUMATISM
The People Do Not Drink Enough
Water to Keep Healthy,
Says Well-Known
Authority.


THE numerous cases Of kidney and
bladder diseases and rheumatism are
mainly due to the fact that the drink
ing of water, natures greatest medi-
cine, has been neglected.
Stop loading your system with med
icines and cure-alls; but get on the
water wagon If you are really sick,
why, of course, take the proper medi-
cines-plain, common vegetable treat
mcnt, which will not shattcr the
nerves or ruin the stomach
To cure rheumatism you must make
the kidneys do their work; they are
the filters Of the blood. They must
be made to strain out of the blood the
waste matter and acids that cause
rheumatism; the urine must be neu-
tralized so it will no longer be a
source of irritation to the bladder, and,
most of all, you must keep these acids
from forming in the stomach. This
is the cause of stomach trouble and
poor digestion. For these conditions
you can do no better than take the
following prescription. flulQ E&lfdCl
