How Spirits Spell.

Judging by spiritistic communica.
lions have received lately simple
spelling must be more popular In the
world beyond than it is in this" said
a man who patronises mediums. Half
the messages received from the spirit
land nowadays are spelled in a way to
bring Joy to the hearts of the simple
spoilers. Not one medium, but many,
transmit them thus. Mediums who
know the old-fashioned spelling book
well enough to spell down a whole
room full of folks have gone over to
the revised edition.
Whatever force 1t is that guides
their hands when transmitting mes.
sages must be impressed with the util.
ity of the new system. At the last
a attended l received a com
Dunication from a man who fought
new-fangled spelling with his dying

must have learned something to make
him change his mind. for he now

to its fate and that the approaching
conflict would center about the tenn
pie.
Was Marion at the temple? II SO
he realized that she was beyond his
reach. But the woman had said that
she vas not there. Where could she
have gone? Why had not Strang
taken her with his wives? In a flash
Nathaniel thought of Arbor Croche
and Obadiah-the two men who al
ways knew what the king was doing.
IL he could find the sheriff alone
IL he could only nurse Obadiah back
into sane life again! He thrust his
pistol into its holster. There vas 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. II 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 he heard behind
him the approach of quick feet. He
crouched behind a clump of bushes
and waited. A shadowy form was
hurrying through the grove. 1t 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.
