TO his feet. Through the door he saw
the red glare in the northern sky and
heard the great bell at St. James ring
a wilder and more excited alarm. For
q few moments he stood in silent,
listening inaction, his nerves tingling
with a strange sensation of impending
peril. Obadiah's madness, the mys-
FERROUS trembling of the earth beneath
his feet, the volcano Of fire. the clang-
ing of the bell and the councillors
insane rejoicing had all come SO sud
denly that he was dazed. What great
calamity, what feerful vengeance, was
about to come upon the Mormon king
dom? Was it possible that the FISH
ermen and settlers Of the mainland
had risen, as Obadiah had said. and
were already at hand to destroy Strang
and his people? The thought spurred
him to che door. The blood rushed
like fire through his veins. What
would it mean to Marion-to Neil?
In his excitement he started down
the path that led to the lilac hidden
home beyond the forest. Then he
thought again of Obadiah and his last
| choking utterance OF Marion's name.
He had tried to speak of her. even
with that death-like rafting of the
breath in his throat; and the memory

for words brought Nathaniel quickly
back to the cabin. He bent yer Oba-
diah's shriveled form and spoke the

ears. There came no response, no
culver of life to show that the old
man vas conscious Of his presence.
AS he worked over him, bathing his
face and chest in cool water, the feel
ing became strong in him that he was
fighting death in this gloomy room for
Marion's sake. 1t was like the whis.

A shudder ran through the coun-

led him. his arms and body stiffened
and slowly he lifted his head. Ma
tbaniel tried to stifle the cry on his
lips, tried to smile-to speak, but the
terrible face that stared up into his
W 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, nc passing flash
OF sanity. The white face was lined
with purplish veins, the mouth was
distorted and the lips bleeding. In

end of the table.

ticed a pail Of water and he brought
this and wet the old mans head. For
a long time Obadiah did not move,
and when he did it was to reach out
with a cropping hand to find Nathaniel.
A change had come into his face when
he lifteo it again. the mad fire had
partly burned itself out of his eyes,
the old chuckling laugh came from
between his lips.

free from the table, hen collapsed
into a chair, his head dropping upon

Without arousing him from the stu

he could better guard himself against

ton turned him back to the cabin
door. He believed that Obadiah would
not easily arouse himself from the
strange stupor into which he had fal'
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, pea
upon peal followed the first until its
brazen thunder rolled in one lone
booming echo through the forests OF
the Mormon kingdom. There came
shrill cry at his back and he whirled
about to e 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-bu1
this time it was not prayer that fell
from his lips.

Wilderness Of paper; IN almost imper-
ceptible movement of his chest

thaniel lifted one of the limp hands
and it's clammy chill struck horror to
his heart. Tenderly he lifted the old
man and carried him to the cot at

about his throat, and felt with his
hand to measure the faint beating of
life in the councillors breast. For a
few moments it seemed to grow faint.

rose in his throat as he watched the
pallor of death fixing itself on the
councillors shriveled face. What
strange chord Of sympathy was it that
bound him to this old man? Was it
the same mysterious influence that
had attracted Marion 70 him? He
dropped upon his knees and called

ton OF warmer days by a touch OF en-
broidered batiste OF linen used in place
Of lace. A yoke and cuffs with an in
sertion in the front and back, give a
s%pringlike air. The lovely new bordered
chiffons. marQuisettes and crepes are
also pressed into blouse service with
excellent results. The striped silk
tailor-made blouse is very much in evil
dence and it Is fashioned of striped tat
feta or wash silk, the black and white,
blue and white and lavender and white
blouses are very dainty looking. They
are simply made with a few tucks over
the shoulders for fulness, a frill down
the left front, rather scant bishop
sleeves and a high stock of the same
silk, finished with a little bow in front.
Striped linens and mems shirtings are
also much used for these tailored
waists. The dressmakers say that
bretelles are going to be very much in
vogue for the spring and um1ner sea-
son. They come In an entirely new
style and give a very original touch OF
a gown. They can be worn with any
kind Of a costume. They are made of
velvet ribbon Or any other ribbon and
may be in black. white or colors.
The new bretelles are passed under
The belt and are finished back and front
with a large silk tassel. They look
particularly we'll with separate waist
and skirt, and in this case they are
best made of either black velvet or
satin, and finished with heavy black
