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
Mormon council, who tells him that he is
expected. Price ignores Mats protesta-
tons 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 a young woman who disappears in the
darkness, leaving an Odor OF llacs. 1t
develops that Plum's visit to the island
is to demand settlement from the king,
time previously, supposedly by Mormons.
Casey, the mate, has been left in charge
of the sloop with orders to lombard ST.
James If. Nat does not return within a
darkness, to the kings home, and
through a window he sees the king and
his wives, among whom is the lady of
enth wife. Plum calls at the kings Of
flee, where he is warned by a young
woman that his life is in danger. Strang
receives Plum cordially, processes indig-
nation when he hears the captains grieV-
ance, and promises to punish the guilty.
Plum again receives warning of his dan
ger He rescues Neil, who is being pub
licly whipped. The king orders Arbor
Croche, the sheriff and father Of Winn-
some, the girl who warned Nat, to pur-
sue and kill the two men. Plum and Neil
plan to escape on the Typhoon. Plum
learns that Marion. the girl of the lilacs,
is Neils sister. She is not yet married
to Strang. Plum suggests carrying her
off on the ship. Neil approves. They
agree to include Wnnsome, with whom
Price is in love, in the enterprise. Nat
discovers that the sloop is gone He
meets Marion and tells her 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
says nothing can save her from Strang.
Plum finds Price raVing mad.

less, intangible fear-som ething which
he could not have analysed and
which clutched at his heart and urged
him to follow the path that led to
Marion's. For a time he resisted the
impulse. What if she should come by
another path while he was gone? He
waited nervously in the edge Of the
forest, watching, and listening for
footsteps Each minute seemed like an
hour marked into seconds by the SOL
emn, steady tolling of the bell, and
after a little he found himself un-
consciously measuring time by count
ing the strokes. Then he went out
into the path. Ee followed 1t, step
by step, until he could no longer see
the light in the cabin; his pulse beat
a little faster; he stared ahead into
the deep gloom between the walls Of
forest-and quickened his pace. II
Marion was coming to him he would
meet her. If she was not coming
In his old fearless way he promptly
made up his mind. He would go bold
ly to the cabin and tell that Neil was
waiting. He felt sure that the alarm
sounding from st. James had drawn
away the guards and that there would
be nothing to interfere with his plan.
If she had already left the cabin he
would return quickly to Obadiahs. In
his eagerness he began to run. Once
sound stopped him-the distant beat
no of ooI 1Oriro hnnfc hoard fhn
shout of a man, reply farther away,
the quick, excited yelping Of a dog.
His blood danced as he thought Of
the gathering of the Mormon fighters,
the men and boys racing down the
black trails from the inland forests,
ran ON again he thought Of Arbor
Croche mastering the painting, venge-
full defenders; of Strang, his great
voice booming encouragement and
promise, above the braZen thunder Of
the bell; he saw in fancy the fright
ened budding groups of women and
children and beyond and above all the
coming Of the vengeance Of Coda
hundred beats, thousand men-and
there went out from his soul if not
from his lips a great cry of joy. At
the edge of the forest he stopped for
moment. Over beyond the clearing
a light burned dimly through the Ii
laos. The sweet odor of the flowers
came to him gently, persuasively, and
nerved him into the open. He passed
across the open space swiftly and
plunged into a tangle Of bushes close
to the lighted window.
He heard a mans voice within, and
then a woman's. Was it Marion?
Cautiously Nathaniel crept close to
the log wall of the cabin. He reached
out, and hesitated. Should he look
as he had done at the kings win
dow? The mans voice came to him
again, harsh and angry, and this time
it was not a woman's words that he
heard but woman's sobbing cry. He
parted the bushes and glare of light

LED THE REVOLT IN MEXICO

Senior Francisco I. Madero, who led
the recent unsuccessful revolt in Mex
leo, does not belong to the class of
poor Mexicans. On the contrary, he
is one of the wealthy men of the
country and belongs to a very aris-
tocratic and powerful family.
The patriarchal head and founder
Of the Madero family, Don Evaristo
Madero, was formerly Governor OF the
State of Coahuila, but quarreled with
the Diaz regime, and for years he and
his family's influence has been antag-
onistic to the government.
He is rather above than below me-
dunn height, broad-shouldered, robust
and slightly inclined to obesity.
Slumberous, velvety, black Latin eyes
that often waken to CLEAN of humor
for he is fond Of joke-surmounts
a sallow face, a distinctly aquiline
nose, closely compressed lips that still
denote a sensual tendency, and a
struggling whisker on the rather
prominent chin. He is not attentive
to dress, and Is usually seen in e

CHAPTER VIi.-Continued.

A shudder ran through the coun-
cilor's frame, as if the voice had start
led him, his arms and body stiffened
and slowly he lifted his head Ma
thaniel tried to stifie the cry on his
lips, tried to snile-to speak, but the
terrible face that stared up into his
own held him silent, motionless. He
had heard the voice of madness, now
he looked upon madness in the eyes
that glared at him. In them was no
sign of recognition, no passing flash
of sanity. The white face was lined
distorted and the lips bleeding. In
voluntarily he stepped back to the
end of the table
At his movement the councillor
stretched out his arms with sobbing
moan.
'Nat-Nat-d0n't go"
He fell again upon his face, clutch
ing the table in a sudden CONFUSION.

this and wet the old mans head. For
long time Obadiah did not move,
and when he did it was to reach out
with cropping hand to find Nathaniel

self for moment and stood, swaying
free from the table, then collapsed
into a chair, his head dropping upon
his breast.
Without arousing him from the stu
por into which he had fallen, Ma
thaniel again concealed himself in
the shadows outside the cabin where
he could better guard himself against
the possible approach of Mormon Wis
itors. But he did not remain long.
He struck a match and saw that it

door. He believed that Obadiah would
not easily arouse himself from the
strange stupor into which he had fall
len. Meanwhile he would find food
and then conceal himself near the
path to intercept Marion
AS he mounted the step he heard
for the second time since landing
upon the island the solemn tolling of
the great bell at st. James, and as he
paused for an instant to listen, peal
upon peal followed the first until it's
brazen thunder rolled in one long
booming echo through the forests of
the Mormon kingdom. There came a
shrill cry at his back and he whirled
about to see the councillor standing
in the center of the big ROOM his arms
outstretched, his face lifted as it had
been raised in prayer at the tolling of
| the same bell the night before-but
this time it was not prayer that fell
from his lips.

triumphant cry.

at the head Of the British admiralty

the admiral that sailor demanded

stepped forward, his voice grooming a
wild joy. "Tomorrow-I-shal
king"
AS he spoke the cabin trembled, a
tremor passed under them, and the
tolilng of the bell was lost in sudden
tumult that came like the bursting
crash of low thunder.
What is it," cried Nathaniel He
leaped into the room and caught Oba-
diah by the arm. What is it,"
THE hand of God!" whispered the
old man again. "Nat-Nat-" 1t was
his old self that stood grimacing and
twisting his hands before Nathaniel
now. "Nat-a thousand armed men
are off the coast! The Lamanites of
the mainland are descending upon the
Mormon kingdom as the hosts of Is
rael upon Canaan! Strang is doomed
-doomed-doomed-and tomorrow l
shall be king!" His voice rose in q
wailing shrek. He darted to the door
and his cackling laugh rang with the
old madness as he pointed into the
north where lurid glow had mounted
high into the sky.
THE signal fire-the bell!" he CUR
gled chokingly. 'They are calling the
Mormons to arms-but it is too late
too late! Ho, no, it is too late, Nat
too late!" He staggered back, grip
ping his throat, and fell upon the
floor. TOO late-too late" he moaned
groveling weakly, as if struggling for
breath. TOO ate-Nat-Marion-"
A SILVER passed through his body
and he lay quite still.

HARLAN LONG ON THE BENCH

John Marshall Harlan, who recently
celebrated the close of thirty-three
years service on the United States
Supreme Court bench, is one of the
