betray life within. He tried the door
and found it locked He peered in
at the windows. listened, and knocked
and at last concealed himself near
the path, confident that the little old
councillor was still at St James. For
an hour he waited. From the rear of
Obadiahs home a narrow footway led
toward the lake and Nathaniel fol-
lowed it, now as warily as an animal
in search of prey. For half a mile
it took him through the forest and
ended at the white sands of the beach.
In neither direction could Nathaniel
see a light and keeping close in the
shadows of the trees he made his
way slowly toward st. James. He had
gone but a short distance when he
saw a house directly ahead of him,
a single CLEAN of light from a small
window telling him that it was in
habited and that its tenants were at
home. He circled down close to the
water looking for a boat. His heart
leaped with sudden eXultation when
he saw a small skiff drawn upon the
beach and his Joy was doubled at find
ing the oars still in the locks. 1t took
him but a moment to shove the light
craft into the sea and a minute later
he was rowing swiftly away from the
land
Nathaniel was certain that by this
time Neil had abandoned his search
for the captured Typhoou and was
probably padding in the direction of
st. James With the hope of inter
cepting him he pulled an eighth of
mile from the shore and rowed slowly
toward the head of the island. There
was no moon, but countless stars
glowed in a clear sky and upon the
open lake Nathaniel could see for
considerable distance about him. For
another hour he rowed back and forth

CHAPTER VII-Contlnued.

She surrendered to the determine
ton in his voice and they moved slow
ly along the path, listening for any
sound that might come from ahead Of
them. Nathaniel had already formed
his plan of action. From MariOn's
words and the voice in which she had
uttered them he knew that it would
be useless for him as 1t had been for
Neil to urge her to flee from the IS
land. There remained but one thing
for him to do, so he fell back upon the
scheme which he had proposed to
Marion's brother. He realized now
that he might be compelled to play
the game single-handed unless he
could secure assistance from Obadiah.
His ship and men were in the hands
of the Mormons; Neil, in his search
for the captured vessel, stood large
chance of missing him that night. and in
that event Marion's fate would depend
on him alone. If he could locate
small boat on the beach back of Oba-
diah's; If he could in some way lure
Marion to it He gave an involuntary
shudder at the thought of using force
upon the girl at his side, at the
thought of her terror of those first
few moments, her struggles, her
broken confidence. She believed in
him now. She believed that he loved
her. She trusted him. The warm
soft pressure of her hand as it chung
to his arm in the blackening gloom of
the forest was evidence of that trust.
She looked into his face anXiously, in
Quiringly when they stopped to listen,
like a child who was sure of
stronger spirit at her side. She held
her breath when he held his, she
listened when he listened, her feet fell
with velvet stiffness when he stepped
with caution Her confidence in him
was like a beautiful dream to Ma
thaniel and he trembled when he pic
tured the destruction Of 1T. After
little he reached over and as if by &C
cident touched the hand that was ~
ing on his arm; he dared more after
a moment. and drew the warm little
fingers into his great strong palm and
held them there, his soul thrilled by
their gentle submissiveness. And then
in another breath there came to still
his Joy a thought of the terrible power
that chained this girl to the Mormon
king. He longed to speak words of
encouragement to her. to instil hope
in her bosom. to ask her to confide in
him the secret of the shadow which
hung over her, but the memory of
what Neil had said to him held his
lips closed.
\ They had walked in silence for
knany minutes when the girl stopped.

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,
eccentric old man and a 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 a 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 Hlacs. 1t
develops that Plum's visit to the island
is to demand settlement from the king,
Strang, for the footing of his ship some
time previously, supposedly by Mormons.
Casey, the mate, has been left in charge
James IL Nat does not return within
certain time. Price takes Nat in the
darkness. to the kings home, and
through a window he sees the king and
his wives, among whom is the lady of
the lilacs, whom Price says is the sew
enth wife. Plum calls at ahe kings Of
woman that his life is in danger. Strang
receives Plum cordially, processes indig-

plan to escape on the Typhoon. Plum
learns that Marion: the girl of the lilacs,
is Neils sister. She Is not yet married

Price is in love, in the enterprise, Nat
discovers that the sloOp is gone. He
meets Marion and tells he that Neil has
left the island. The thunder of a gun is
heard and Marion tells him his ship has
been captured by the Mormons. She
pleads with him to leave the island and
prevent her brother from returning. She

cause I love you-love you" He
freed her hand and stood back, choking
the words that would have revealed
his secret. He lied now for the love
of this girl. Neil is out there wait
ing for me in a small boat" he con-
tinued, pointing beyond Obadiah's to
the lake. Il will see him soon, and
then l will return to Obadiah's to tell
you if he has left for the mainland
Will you promise to meet me there
tonight"
Il will promise"
AT midnight"
Yes, at IL o'clock"
This time it was Marion WHO came
to him. Her eyes shone like stars.
And if you make Neil go to the
mainland" she said softly, when
meet you l will-will tell you-some-
thing"
The last word came in a breathless
sob. AS she slipped into the path
that led to ST. James she paused for
a moment and called back, in a low
voice: Tell Neil that he must go for
WinnsOme's sake. Tell him that her
fate is shortly to be as cruel as mine
tell him that WinnsOme loves him,
and that she will escape and come to
him on the mainland. Tell him to go
-go!"
She turned again, and Nathaniel
stood like statue, hardly breathing,
until the sound of her feet had died
away. Then he walked swiftly up the
foot path that led to Obadiah's He
forgot his own danger in the excite
ment that pulsated with every fiber
of his being, forgot his old caution
and the fears that gave birth to it
forgot everything in those moments
but Marion and his own great happi-
ness. Neils absence meant nothing to
his arms, he had told her of his love,
and though she had accepted it with
gentle unresponsiveness he was
thrilled by the memory of that last
look in her eyes, which had spoken
faith, confidence, and perhaps even
would tell him if he got Neil safely
away? 1t was to be a reward for his
own loyalty-he knew that, by the
half fearing tremble of her voice, the
sObbing catch of her breath, the
strange glow in her eyes. With her
brother away she would confide in
him? Would she tell him the secret
of her slavedom to Strang? Ma
thaniel was conscious of no madness
in the wild hope that filled him; moth
ing seemed impossible to him now
Marion would meet him at midnight
She would go with him to the boat,
and then-ah, he had solved the prob
lem, He would use no force. He
would tell her that Neil was in his
canoe half a mile out from the shore
and that he had promised to leave
the island for good if she would go
out to bid him goOd-by. And once
there, half a mile or a mile away, he
would tell her that he had lied to her;
and he would give her his heart to
trample upon to prove the love that
had made him do this thing, and then
he would row her to the mainland
1t was the sight of Obadiah's cabin
that brought his caution back. He
came upon it so suddenly that an ex-
clamation of surprise fell unguarded
from his lips. There was no light to

AMERICAS GREATEST MAN
IN HISTORY
KARL j. PRIDE,
PIcasanton, Cal.
Abraham Lincoln, to me, is Americas
greatest man in history.
A man of never failing honesty and
undying devotion to his country, he
was loved by all.
During the terrible civil war few
men could have held such responsible
position as did Lincoln and dispose OF
the duties with SO much justness and
fairness.
What man has ever held a more try
ing position? What man could have
acted more fairly?
Believing that every man was born
free and equal, he acted as such and
proceeded to put down the confederacy.
Every day came reports Of deso1a-

AND WHY NOT? |?

The return of over $l ,5O0 in gold from II tons of rock from the Rhodes ledge, treated at the busi- nessmen's mill last week, opens up speculation as to what we may ex- pect when several mills are running in the vicinity of Fairbanks
 For example: The Cinema mill will have d capacity of of 4O tons per day. Counting 25 days milling to each month and working for only ten months i'll the year. We arrive at a total capacity for the ten-stamp mill of lo.OoO tons of ore Allowing that the ore does not average more low estimate according to present indications We get an annual out put of $5o0.0O0 in gold from one lit tie mill
 As soon as the Cinema mill has demonstrated its usefulness il will be followed by many others some larger and some smaller. There is every reason to believe that at least 800 stamps will be needed here in the not distant future On the above figures they would give Us an out put of $2a,ooo,ooo d year from quartz alone. These figures are so ridicu- lOusly conservative that we almost hesitate to publish them for fear we should be thought "knockers.' The quartz mines in the neighbor- hood of Johannesburg.
