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-
fore him a chaos of gloom.
"Hello!" he called gently. Hello
Hello"
There was no answer. He struck
a match and advanced step by step,
holding the yellow bit OF flame above
his head 1t disclosed the narrow
walls of hall and an O. en door lead
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
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; trunk had
been dragged from a closet and was
half packed; everywhere was the dis
order of hurried flight. For a few
moments the depth Of his despair held
Nathaniel motionless. The castle was
Decentralization was gone! He ran
back into the great room, no longer
trying to still the sound Of his foot
steps. and opened a second door. The
same silence greeted him, the same
disorder, the same evidence that the
wives and children of the Mormon
king had fed. He went into a third
room-and then fourth.
For an instant he paused at the
threshold of this fourth chamber. A
light was burning in the room at the
emo of the hall The door was closed
with the exception of an inch or two.
"Marion!" he called softly, and lis
tened intently.
Re went on when there was no re-
ply, and pushed open the door.
A candle was burning on a stand
in front OF q mirror. The room was
as empty as the others. But there was
no disorder here. The bed was IN
used, the garments in the open closet
had not been disarranged. On the
floor beside the bed was a pair OF
shoes and as Nathaniel saw them his
heart seemed to leap TO his throat
and stified the cry that was on his
lips. He took one of them in his
hand. his, whole being throbbing with
excitment. 1t was Marions shoe
incrusted with mud and torn as he
had seen It In the forest. With her
aame falling from his lips in a plead
ing cry he now searched the room and

Che approach of his enemies he had
reared that he might lose his beauti-
Iul victim, and in his overmastering
passion had called her to him even
as his people assembled in defense of
his kingdom.
Ihere was desperate GOODNESS in Ma
thaniePs 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
ner 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 he paused to listen. For the
first time it occurred to Nathaniel
that the prophet might have assem-
sbled 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
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 1t 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 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
of his heart as he waited for sound

(CHAPTER VlIl.-Continued

"Strang-the king!" cried the old
man, clutching the knob of his cane
with both hands. "She has gone!"
"Gone!" exclaimed Nathaniel For
an instant his heart bounded with de-
light. Marion was on her way to the
tryst! He sprang back to the door.

The woman had come forward, her
hands trembling, her lips quivering.
Something in the terror of her face

shrieked suddenly clutching at her
breast, Tell me-what are they doing

Shut up!" snarled the old man.

straightened himself until his tower

self a terrible cry burst from Ma
thaniel's lips. He flung open the door
and stood for an instant with his
white face turned back.
"She went to the castelar, hour
ago." he cried.
Yes. to the castle-with Obadiah
Price"
The last words followed him as he
sped out into the night AS swiftly
as a wolf he raced across the clearing
to the trail that led down to st. James
Something seemed to have burst In
his brain; something that was not
blood. but fire, seemed to burn In his
veins-a mad desire to reach Strang
to grip him by the throat, to mete out
TO him the vengeance of tiend in
stead of that of a man. He was too
late To save Marion! His brain reeled
with the thought. Too late-too late

INGRAM NOMINATED.
IS CHOSEN BY REPUBLICANS AS
CANDIDATE FOR SPEAKER OF
WISCONSIN ASSEMBLY.
SENATOR MARTIN Is CHOSEN
Senate Caucus Names Darlington
Legislator for President Pro Tenn
pore-W. j. Bichler Is the Demo-
cratic Nominee for Speaker.

Madison.-The slate of the pro-
gressive republicans for senate and
assembly officials went through with
out a hitch at the caucuses, c. A.
Ingram of Durand being nominated
for speaker of the assembly and Sem
ator H. c. Martin of Darlington as
president pro tempore of the senate.
Both nominations were made by ac-
clamation. The only rifle to disturb
the placid waters was the nomination
of three candidates for sergeant-at-
arms of the assembly, but w S. IT.
vine won handily.
Neither caucus lasted over three
quarters of an hour. The only fea-
ture out of the ordinary was the ap-
pointment of committees from both
houses to confer on the subject of re-
vision of the rules. This is in line
with the plan for the creation of a
number of new committees, including
one on the expedition of business
composed of representatives of four
groups of committees divided into ju-
dicial, administrative regulative and
educational.
At the head of the senate commit.
tee is Senator A. w. Sanborn of Ash
land, and at the head of the assembly
committee is c. A. Ingram, who will
be speaker of the assembly.
Among other changes it is pro-
posed that in the senate no member
shall be on more than one committee,
while in the assembly, with a larger
membership, each member will be on
one major and one minor committee.
In this way it is believed that a quo
rum on all the committees can al
ways be had and the work of the
session pushed through.
MadisOn.-At the democratic eau
Gus E. J. Kneen was chosen chair
man and H. V. Schwalbach, secre-
tary. w. J. Bichler of Ozaukee was
unanimously chosen as the demo-
cratic candidate for speaker, J. T..
Schreiner of Fort Atkinson as candi-
date for chief clerk and A. L. Pfeffer
of Calumet as candidate for sergeant
alarms. After a short discussion it
was decided that Assemblyman Bich-
Ter should act as committee of one
to confer with the speaker regarding
appointments on the different com.
mittees.
