the Mormons to arms and the prep
arations for the defense would Strang
the master of the kingdom, the bull
wark of his people, waste priceless
time in carrying out the purpose for
which he had sent for Marion? Hardly
when there came another thought to
quench it. Why had the king sent
for Marion on this particular night
and at this late hour? Why, unless at
the approach of his enemies he had
feared that he might lose his beauti-
full victim, and in his overmastering
passion had called her to him even
as his people assembled in defense of
his kingdom.
There was desperate GOODNESS in Ma
thaniel's approach now. Whatever had
happened he would do what Neil had
threatened to do-kill Strang. And
whatever had happened he would take
Marion away with him if it was only
her dead body that he carried in his
arms. To do these things he needed
strength. He advanced more slowly
and drew deeper and deeper drafts of
air into his exhausted lungs. At the
edge OF the grove surrounding the
castle be paused to listen. For the
first time it occurred to Nathaniel
that the prophet might have assem-
bled some of his fighters to the de-
Tense of his harem, which he knew
would be one of the first places to
feel the vengeance of the outraged
men of the mainland. But he heard
no voices ahead of him. There were
no fires to betray the approach of
the enemy. Not even the barking of
a dog gave warning of his stealthy
advance. Soon he could make out a
light in the kings house. A few steps
more and he saw that the door was
open, as it had been on his first visit
to the castle. He lodged swiftly from
bush to bush, darted under the win
dow through which he had seen Ma
rion, leaped lightly up the broad steps
and sprang into the great room, his
pistol cooked in his hand.
The room was empty. He listened,
but not a sound came to his ears ex-
cept the rustling of a curtain in the
breeze. The huge lamp over the ia
BILE was burning dimly. The five doors
leading from the room were tightly
closed. Nathaniel held his breath,
tried to still the tumultuous pounding

Twenty years ago discouraged

had an unsalaried position, and where
he spent an hour or more every day.
The father sat by, silent but in
tensely interested spectator, while
twenty-five poor unfortunates received
help. The doctor forgot his visitor
while he bent his skilled energies to
his task; but hardly had the door
closed on the last patient, when the
old man burst forth:
Il thought you told me that you
were not doing anything! Why, if l

month as much as you have in one

life counted for something
There isn't any money in it,

scornfully. Money! What is money
in comparison with being OF use to
your fellowmen? Never mind about
money; you go right along at this
work every day. I'll go back to the
farm, and gladly earn money enough
to support you as long as l live-yes,

woman's voice, a child's cry. But
none came. The stiffness of desertion
lowered about him. He went to one
of the five doors. 1t was not locked.
He opened it silently, with the eau
ton of thief, and there doomed be-

''Hello." he called gently. Hello

There was no answer. He struck
match and advanced step by step,

his head. 1t disclosed the narrow

sputtered and went out and he lighted
another. On little table just outside
the door was a half burned candle and
he replaced his match with this. Then
he went in.
At a glance he knew that he had
entered a woman's room, redolent
with the perfume of flowers. On one
side was a bed and close beside it a
cradle with a child's toys scattered
about it. The tumbled coverlets
showed that both had been recently
used. About the room were thrown ar
ticles of wearing apparel; a trunk had
been dragged from closet and was
half packed; everywhere was the dis
order of hurried fight. For a few

back into the great room, no longer

disorder, the same evidence that the
wives and children of the Mormon
king had fed. He went into a third
room-and then a fourth.
For an instant he paused at the
threshold of this fourth chamber. A
light was burning in the room at the
end of the hall The door was closed
with the exception of an inch or two.
"Marion!" he called softly, and lis
tened intently.
He went on when there was no re-
ply, and pushed open the door.
A candle was burning on a stand
in front of mirror. The room was
as empty as the others. But there was
no disorder here. The bed was I'M

hand, his whole being throbbing with
excitment 1t was Marion's shoe

stronghold of the Mormon kingdom

from under him, and he fell painting

he lay there looking down upon the
