SYNOPSIS.

Capt. Nathaniel Plum. of the sloop
Typhoon, lands secretly on Beaver island
stronghold of the Mormons. He is sud-
denly confronted by Obadiah Price, an
eccentric old man and member of the
Mormon council, who tells him that he is
expected. Price ignores Mats protesta-
tions that he has got the wrong man. and
bargains for the ammunition aboard the
sloop. He binds Nat by solemn oath to
deliver a package to Franklin Pierce
president of the United States. Near
Prices cabin Nat sees the frightened face
of young woman who disappears in the
darkness, leaving an odor of ilacs. 1t

the salesman did not return all the

had come. Many he placed together
in one capacious tray.
aren't you putting that back in the
wrong box?" exclaimed Percy, at last,
his curiosity aroused, as yet another
rejected was tossed into the box of
failures.
"oh, no." replied the man. 1--WE

and in the silence the two shook
hands. IF you should happen to
think of a way-that we might get
Winnsome-" he added, coloring.
The sudden grip of his companions s
fingers made him finch.
I'VE must!" said Nathaniel.
He climbed ashore and watched Neil
until he had disappeared In the wild
rice. Then he turned into the woods.
1t was only o'clock. He was con.
scious of no fatigue: he was not con-
scious of hunger. To him the whole
world had suddenly opened with glo-
rious promise and in the still depths
of the forest he felt like singing out
his rejoicing. He had never stopped
to ask himself what might be the end
of this passion that had overwhelmed
him; he lived only in the present, in
the knowledge that Marion was not
a wife, and that II was he whom fate
had chosen for her deliverance. He
reasoned nothing beyond the sweet
eyes that had called upon him, that
had burned their gratitude, their hope
and their despair upon his soul; moth
ing beyond the thought that she would
soon be free from the mysterious in
fluence of the Mormon king and that
for days and nights after that she
would be on the same ship with him.
He had emptied the pockets of the
coat he had given Neil and now he
brought forth the old letter which
Obadiah had rescued from the sands.
He read 1t over and over again as he
sat for few moments In the cool of
the forest and there was no trouble
In his face now. 1t was from a girl.
He had known that girl. years ago, as
Neil knew Winnsome; in years of
wandering he had almost forgotten
her-until this letter came. 1t had
brought many memories back to him
with shocking clearness. The old folk
were still In the little home under the

Didn't Like Course Dinners.

A colored woman. native OF the
south, had been working for a nat
dwelling family Of moderate means In
the East end. but resigned recently
to accept a place bringing higher
wages with wealthy family who
lived in a large house on Euclid
heights and have their dinner served
in courses every night Just as II there
was company.
This colored woman had been
brought up to put everything on the
table at or ce, with the exception pos
sibly Of the dessert. and did not take
kindly to the course system.
A few days ago her former mis-
tress met her on the street and in.
quired how she liked her new place.

forest beyond which the Typhoon was
hidden. He pointed out the location
of the ship to his companion.
You are sure there is small boat
waiting for you on the point?" asked
Neil.
yes, since early morning"
Neil was absorbed in thought for
some time as he drove the canoe
through the tall rice grass that grew
thick along the edge of the shore.
How would it be if landed you
on the point and met you tonight at
Obadiah's?" he asked suddenly. ut
is probable that after we get Marion
aboard your ship will not return to
the island again, and it is quite neces-
sary that run down the coast for a
couple of miles-for-" He did not
finish his reason, but added: 81 can
make the whole distance in this rice
Or you might lie off the point yonder
and l would join you early this eve

THAT would be a better plan If we
must separate" said Nathaniel, whose
voice betrayed the reluctance with
which he assented to the project. He
had guessed shrewdly at Neil's mo-
tive. rs 1t possible that we may have
another young lady passenger" he
asked banteringly.
There was no answering humor to

"Oh-h-h!"
From a distance" he hastened.
She was as pure as Winnsome is

If you are not a fool you will take her

With a powerful stroke of his pad

shore.

only to cross this point to reach your
boat" He stretched out his long arm

CHAPTER vI-continued.

Horror, not fear, sent an involun-
tary shiver through Nathaniel
"They can't reach us!" assured Neil.
There was the glitter of triumph in
his eyes. This was to have been my
way of escape after l killed Strang

up the gun and box and began forcing
his way through the dense alder along
the edge of the stream. I'D like to
lstay and murder those dogs he called
back, but it wouldn't be policy
For time the crashing of their
the swamp drowned all other sound.
Five minutes later Neil stopped on the
edge of a wide bog. The hounds were
giving fierce tongue in the forest on
their left and their nearness sent
Nathaniers hand to his pistol. Neil
saw the movement and laughed.
Don't like the sound, eh?" he said.
1--WE get used to it on Beaver island.
They're just about at the place where
they tore little Jim Schroeder to
pieces few weeks back Schroeder

Ding his wife while he was away on a
nights fishing trip"
He plunged to his knees in the bog
They caught him just before he
reached the swamp" he flung back
over his shoulder 1.-TWO minutes
more and he would have been safe"
Nathaniel, sinking to his knees in
the mire, forged up beside him.
Lord" he exclaimed, as a breath
of air brought sudden burst Of blood
curdling cries to them. IF they'd
loosed them on us sooner
He shivered at the terrible grimace
Neil turned on him.
Had they slipped the leashes when
we escaped, we would have been with
poor Schroeder now. Captain Plum.
BY the wayne stopped a moment
to wipe the water and mud from his
face" three days after they covered
Schredders bones with muck out
there, the elder took Schredder's wife!
She was too pretty for a fisherman"
He started on, but halted suddenly
with uplifted hand. No longer could
they hear the baying of the dogs.
They've struck the creek!" said
Neil "Listen!"
After an interval of silence there
came long mournful howl.
"Treed-treed or in the water, that's
what the bowling means. How Croche
and his devils are bowling now!"
curse was mingled with Neils
breath as he forced his way through
the bog. Twenty rods farther on they
came to slime covered bit of water
on which was floating a dugout ca
noe. Immense relief replaced the
anxiety In Nathaniel's face as he
climbed into 1t. At that moment he
was willing to fight a hundred men
for Marions sake. but snakes and bogs
and bloodhounds were entirely outside
his pale Of argument and he exhibited
no hesitation In betraying this fact to
his companion. For a quarter of a
mile Neil forced the dugout through
water viscid with slime and rotted
substance before the clearer channel
of the creek was reached. AS they
progressed the stream constantly be-
came deeper and more navigable until
Iit finally began to show signs Of cur
rent and little later. under the pow
erful impetus OF Neil's paddle, the ca
noe shot from between the dense
shores into the open lake. A mile
away Nathaniel discerned the point Of
