the thick gloom behind It, intensified
by the binding glare, Nathaniel saw
the shadows Of men. He caught the
old woman In his arms and went on
boldly. He passed close to thin line
OF waiting men, saw the faint CLINT of
freight on their rifles. and staggering
past them unchallenged with his
weight he stopped for moment to
look back. The effect was startling.
Beyond the three great fires that
blazed around the temple the clearing
was bathed in sea Of light; In its
concealment of giant trees the temple
was buried in gloom. From the gloom
hundred cool men might slaughter
Ave times their number charging
across that death square!
Nathaniel could not repress shud-
der as he looked. Screened behind
each Of the three fires was a cannon.
He figured that there were more than
a hundred rifles in that silent Gordon
of men. What was there on the oppo
site side of the temple?
He turned with the old woman and
joined the throng that was seething
about the temple doors. There were
women, children and old men. crush
ing and crowding, fighting with panic
stricken fierceness for admittance to
the thick log walls. Through the doors
there came the low thunder of count
less voices pierced by the shrill cries
Of little children. Foot by foot Ma
thaniel fought his way up the steps.
At the top were drawn a dozen men
forming barriers with their rifles. One
of them showed him back.
Not you'll" he shouted. This is
for the women!"
Nathaniel fell back. filled with hor-
ror A glance had shown him the vast
dimly lighted interior Of the temple
packed to sufYocation. What sins had
this people wrought that it thus feared
the vengeance of the men from the
mainland! He felt the sweat break
out upon his face as he thought of
Marion being in that mob, tired and
fainting with her terrible days ex-
perience-perhaps dying under the
panic-str1cken feet of those stronger
than herself. He hoped now for that
which at first had filed him with de-
spair-that Strang had hidden Marion
away from the terror and suffocation
of this multitude that fought for its
breath within the temple. Freeing
himself of the crowd he ran to the
farther side Of the building. A fourth
fire blazed in his face. But on this
side there was no cannon; scarcely
score of men were guarding the rear
of the temple.
For full minute he stood concealed
in the gloom He realized now that 1t
The old councillor could probably have
| told him all that he had discovered for
himself: that Marion had gone to the
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1910-06-22

castle-that Strang intended to make
her his bride that night. But did
Obadiah know that the castle had
been abandoned? Did he know that
the kings wives had sought refuge IN
the temple. and did he know where
Marion was hidden? Nathaniel could
assure himself but one answer: Oba-
diah. struck down by his strange mad
ness, was more ignorant than he him
self of what had occurred at st. James.
While he paused a heavy noise
arose that Quickened his heart-beats
and sent the blood through his veins
in wild excitement. From far down
by the shore there came the roar OF
a cannon. It was closely followed by
a second and third. and hardly was
the night shaken by their thunder
than a mighty cheering OF mon swept
up from the fire-rimmed coast. The
battle had begun! Nathaniel leaped
out into the glow Of the great blazing
FIRE beyond the temple: he heard n
warning shout as he darted past the
men: for an instant he saw their white
faces staring at him from the f1relisht
-ucAku q OCSSAu oASdSS WhASSA s~~
knew was q command-and was gone.
Half dozen rifles cracked behind him
and = yell of joyful defiance burst
from his throat as the bullets Kissed
over his head. The battle had begun!
Another hour and the Mormon king
dom would be at the mercy of the
avenging host from the mainland
and Marion would be his own for
ever! He heard again the deep rum
BILE of heavy gun and from its sulien
detonation he knew that 1t was fired
from ship at sea. A nearer crash of
returning fire turned him into de-
serted street down which he ran wild
ly, on past the last houses Of the
town, until he came to the foot OF a
hill up which he climbed more slowly,
painting like winded animal.
From its top he could look down
upon the scene of battle. To the east
ward stretched the harbor line with
it's rim of fires. A glance showed
him that the fight was not to center
about these. They had served their
purpose, had forced the mainianders
to seek landing farther down the
coast. The light Of dawn had already
begun to dispense the thick gloom Of
night, and an eighth of mile below
Nathaniel the Mormon forces were
creeping slowly along the shore. The
pale ghostly mistiness of the sea hung
like curtain between him and what
was beyond, and even as he strained
his eyes to catch a glimpse OF the
avenging fleet vivid light leaped out
Of the white distance. followed by the
thunder of cannon. He saw the head
of the Mormon line falter. In an in

He could hear her stifed breath;
he could almost feel her trembling,
an arms reach out there in the dark
ness. What a woman was this whose
heart the Mormon king had broken
Cor new love!
Listen" he said gently. II am
going to find Marion. am going to
take her away. Tomorrow you shall
have Strang again-if he is alive!"
There was no answer and he moved
slowly back to the door. He closed
it after him as he entered the hall.
Once in the big room he paused for a
moment under the hanging lamp to
examine his pistol and then went out
side. The grove in which the castle
stood was absolutely deserted. So far
as he could see not even a guard
watched over the property of the king.
Nathaniel had become too accustomed
to the surprises Of Beaver island to
wonder at this. He could see by the
lights faring along the harbor that
the castle was in an isolated position
and easy Of attack. From what
Strang's wife had told him and the
evidences OF panic in the chambers Of
the harem he believed that the Nor
mon king had abandoned the castle
to its fate and that the approaching
conflict would center about the tenn
pie.
Was Marion at the temple? If so
he realized that she was beyond his
reach. But the woman had said that
she was not there. Where could she
have gone? Why had not Strang
taken her with his wives? In fash
Nathaniel thought Of Arbor Croche
and Obadiah-the two men who al
ways knew what the king was doing.
If he could find the sheriff alone
If he could only nurse Obadiah back
into sane life again! He thrust his
pistol into it's holster. There was but
one thing for him to do and that was
to return to the old councillor. 1t
would be madness for him to go down
to St. James. He had lost-Strang
had won. But his love for Marion was
undying. If he found her Strang's
wife it would make no difference to
him. 1t would all be evened up when
he killed the king. For Marion loved
him-loved him
He turned his face toward Oba-
diah's, his heart singing the glad
words which the woman had spoken
to him back there in the sixth cham
Der.
And as he was about to take the
first step in that long race back to
the mad councillors hf heard behind
him the approach Of quick feet. He
crouched behind clump Of bushes
and waited. A shadowy form was
hurrying through the grove. It passed
close to him, mounted the castle steps.
and in the doorway turned and looked
back for an instant in the direction Of
ST. James.
Nathaniel's lips quivered; the
pounding of his heart half choked
him; a shrek Of mad, terrible Joy
was ready to leap from his lips.
There in the dim glow Of the great
lamp stood Strang, the Mormon king.

where is Marion?"
"She is safe, Captain Plum. She is
where the friends who are invading
us from the mainland will have no
chance Of finding her"
Strang spoke as quietly as though
In his own office beside the temple.
Suddenly he raised his voice.
"She Is safe, Captain Plum--safe!"
His eyes wavered, and Travelled be-
You'd AS accurately as striking ser
pent Nathaniel measured that glance.
1t had gone to the door. He heard q
movement, felt dsaft Of air. and in
an instant he whirled about with his
pistol pointed to the door. In another
instant he had fired and the huge
form Of Arbor Croche toppled head
long into the room. A roar like that
of a beast came from behind him and
before he could turn again Strang was
upon him. In that moment he felt
that all was lost. Under the weight
of the Mormon king he was crushed
to the floor: his pistol slipped from
his grasp; two great hands choked
= despairing cry from his throat. He
saw the prophets face over him, dis
torted with passion, his huge neck
bullying, his eyes flaming like angry
garnets. He struggled to free his
pinoned arms, to wrench of the death
grip at his throat, but his efforts were
like those Of child against q giant.
In last terrible attempt he drew up
his knees inch by inch under the
weight of his enemy; it was his only
chance-his only hope. Even as he
felt the fingers about his throat sink
ing like hot iron into his flesh and
the breath slipping from his body he
remembered this murderous knee
punch of the rough fighters Of the
inland seas and with all the life that
remained in him he sent it crushing
into the abdomen of the Mormon king
1t was moment before he knew that
it had been successful. before the film
cleared from his eyes and he saw
Strang groveling at his feet; another
moment and he hurled himself on the
prophet. His fist shot out like ham
mer against Strang's jaw. Again and
again he struck until the great shaggy
head fell back limp. Then his fingers
