Pleasant dreams. pleasant dreams"
and he was gone.
Nathaniel turned to the bed and
picked up a faded bunch of lilacs.
Then he sat down. loaded his pipe.
and smoked until he could hardly see
the walls of his little room. From the
moment Of his landing on the island
he turned the events OF the day over
In his mind. Yet when he arrived at
the end OF them he was no less mys-
titled than when he began. Who was
Obadiah Price? Who was the girl
that fate had so mysteriously asso-
ciated with his movements thus far?
What was the plot in which he had
accidentally become involved? With
tireless tenacity he hung to these
questions for hours. That there was
a plot of some kind he had not the
least doubt. The councillors strange
actions. the oath. the package. and
above all the scene in the kings house
convinced him of that. And he was
sure that Obadiah's night visitor-the
girl with the lilacs-was playing a
vital part in 1t.
The lonoger he smoked the more his
old confidence and his old reckless.
ness returned to him. He enjoyed his
adventure. The next day he would
end 1t. He would go openly into st.
James and have done his business
with Strang. Then he would return to
his ship. What had he. Captain Plum
to do with Strang's wife?
But even after he had determined
on these things his brain refused to
rest. He paced back and forth
across the narrow room. thinking OF
the man whom he was to meet to
morrow-of Strang. the one-time
schoolmaster and temperance lecturer
who had made himself king. who
for seven years had defied the state
and nation, and who had made of his
island stronghold a hot-bed Of polyg.
amy, of Righteousness. of dissolute
power. His blood grew hot as he
thought again Of the beautiful girl
who had appealed to him. Obadiah
had said that she was the kings wife
Still
Thoughts flashed into his head
which for a time made him forget his
mission on the island. In spite OF his
resolution to keep to his own scheme
he found himself. after a little. think
ing only of the Mormon king. and the
lovely face he had seen through the
castle window. He knew much about
the man with whom he was to dea
