By. A. COHAN DOYLE.

Had the wanderer remained awake for another half hour a strange sight would have met his eves. Far away on the extreme verge of the alkali plain there rose up a little

spray

t' dust, very

slight at first and hardly to be distinguished from the mists of the distance, but gradually growing higher and broader until it formed a solid, well defined cloud. This cloud continued to increase in size until it became evident that it could only bo raised by a great multitude of moving creatures. In more fertile spots the observer would have come to the conclusion that one of those great licrtis of bisons which grazo upon the prairie land was approaching him. This was obviously impossible in these arid wilds. As the whirl of dust drew nearer to the solitary bluff upon which the two castaways were reposing the canvas covered tilts of wagons and the figures of armed horsemen began to show up through the haze, and the apparition revealed itself as being a great caravan upon its journey for the west. But what a caravan! "When the head of it had reached the baso of the mountains, the rear was not yet visible on the horizon. Right across tho enormous plain stretched the straggling array, wagons and carts, men on horseback and men on foot, innumerable women who staggered along under burdens and children who toddled beside the wagons or peeped out from under the white coverings. This was evidently no ordinary party of immigrants, but rather some nomad peoplo who had been compelled from stress of circumstances to seek themselves a new country. There rose through tho clear air a confused clattering and rumbling from this great mass of humanity, with the creaking of wheels and tho neighing horses. Loud as it was, it was not sui.icient to rouse tho two tired wayfarers above them.

At the head of tho column thero rode a score or more of grave, iron faced men, clad in somber, homespun garments and armed with rifles. On reaching the base of the bluff they halted and held a short council among themselves. 'The wells are to the right, my brothers," said one, a hard lipped, clean shaven man with grizzly hair. "To tho right of the Sierra Blanco, so •wo shall reach the Rio Grande," said another. "Fear not for water!" cried a third. "Ho who could draw it from tho rocks •will not now abandon his own chosen people." "Amen, amen!" responded tho whole party. They were about to resume their journey when one of the youngest and keenest eyed uttered an exclamation and pointed up at the rugged crag above them. From its summit thero fluttered a little wisp of pink, showing up hard and bright against the gray rocks behind. At the sight there was a general reining up of horses and unslinging of guns, whilo fresh horsemen came galloping up to re-enforce the vanguard. The word "redskins" was on every lip. "There can't bo any number of Injuns here," said the elderly man, who appeared to bo in command. "We have passed tho Pawnees, and there are no other tribes until we cross the great mountains.'' "Shall I go forward and see, Brother Stangerson?" asked one of tho band. "And I?" "And I?" cried a dozon voices. "Leave your horses below, and wo will wait you here," the elder answered. In a moment tho young follows had dismounted, fastened their horses and were ascending tho precipitous slope which led up to tho object which had excited their curiosity. They advanced rapidly and noiselessly, with the confidence and dexterity of practiced scouts. Tho watchers from the plain below could see them flit from rock to rock until their figures stood out against the sky line. Tho young man who had first given the alarm was leading them. Suddenly his followers saw him throw up his hands, as though overcome with astonishment, and on joining him they were affected in the same way by the sight which met their eves.

On tho littlo plateau which crowned the barren hill there stood a single giant bowlder, and against this bowlder thero lay a tall man, long bearded and hard featured, but of an excessive thinness. His placid faco and regular breathing showed that ho was fast asleep. Beside him lay a littlo child, with her round white arms encircling his brown, sinewy neck and her golden haired head resting upon the breast of his velveteen tunic. Her rosy lips were parted, showing the regular line of snow white teeth within, and a playful smile played over her infantilo features. Her plump little white legs, terminating in white socks and neat shoes, with shining buckles, offered a strange contrast to tho long, shriveled members of her companion. On the ledge of rock above this strange couple there stood three solemn buzzards, who at the sight of the newcomers uttered raucous screams 6f disappointment and flapped sullenly away.

The cries of tho foul birds awoko the two sleepers, who stared about them in bewilderment. The man staggered to his feet and looked down upon tho plain which had been so desolate when sleep bad overtaken him and which was now traversed by this enormous body of men and of beasts. His face assumed an expression of incredulity as he gazed, and be passed his bony hand over his eyes. "This is what they call delirium, I guess," ho muttered. Tho child stood beside him, holding on to tho skirt of iiis coat, and said nothing, but looked all around her with tho wondering, questioning gazo of childhood.

The rescuing party were speedily able to convince tho two castaways that their appearanco was no delusion. One of them soized tho little girl and hoisted her upon his shoulder, whilo two others supported her gaunt companion and asgiflted him toward tho wagons.

""IVTy "name is John Terrier," the wanderer explained. "Me and that littie un are all that's left o' 21 people. I The rest is all dead o' thirst and hunger away down in the south. "Is she your child?" asked some one. "I guess she is now!" tho other cried defiantly "she's mine 'cause I saved her. No man will take her away from liie. She's Lucy Ferrier from this day on. Who are you, though?" he con

tinued, glancing with curiosity at his stalwart, sunburned rescuers. "There seems to be a powerful lot o' ye. "Nigh upon 10,0U0," said one of the young men. "We are the persecuted children of God, the chosen of the angel Merona." I "1 never heard tell on him, said the wanderer. "He appears to have chosen a fair crowd o' ye. "Do not jest at that which is sacred, said the other sternly. "Wo are of those who believe in those sacred writings drawn in Egyptian letters on plates of beaten gold, which were handed unto the holy Joseph Smith at Palmyra. We have come from Nauvoo, in the state of

Illinois, where we had founded our temple. We have come to seek a refuge from tho violent man and from the godless, even though it be tho heart of the desert."

The namo of Nauvoo evidently recalled recollections to John Ferrier. "I see," he said. "Ye are the Mormons." "We aro the Mormons," answered his companions with one voice. "And where are ye going?" "We do not know. The hand of God is leading us under the person of our prophet. You must come before him. He shall say what is to be done with you.

They had reached the base cf the hill by this time and were surrounded by crowds of the pilgrims, pale faced, meek looking women, strong, laughing children and anxious, earnest eyed men. Many were the cries of astonishment and of commiseration which arose from them when they perceived tho youth of one of the strangers and the destitution of the other. Their escort did not halt, however, but pushed on, followed by a great crowd of Mormons, until they reached a wagon, which was conspicuous for its great size and for the gaudiness and smartness of its appearance. Six horses were yoked to it, whereas the others were furnished with two or at most four apiece.

Beside tho driver there sat a man who could not hr.ve been more than 30 years of age, but whose massive head and resolute expression marked him as a leader. He was reading a brown backed volume, but as the crowd approached he laid it aside and listened attentively to an account of the episode. Then he turned to tho two castaways. "If we take you with us," he said in solemn words, "it can only be as believers in our own creed. We shall have no wolves in our fold. Better far that your bones should bleach in this wilderness than that you should prove to be that little speck of decay which in time corrupts the whole fruit. Will you come with us on these terms?" "Guess I'll come with ye on any terms," said Ferrier, with such emphasis that the grave elders could not restrain a smile. The leader alono retained his stern, impressive expression. "Take him, Brother Stangerson," ho said. "Give him food and drink, and the child likewiso. Let it be your task also to teach him our holy creed. We have delayed long enough. Forward! On, on to Zion!" "On, on to Zion!" cried the crowd of Mormons, and the words rippled down the long caravan, passing from mouth to mouth until they died away in a dull murmur in the far distance. With a cracking of whips and a creaking of wheels the great wagon got into motion, and soon the whole caravan was winding along oneo more. The elder to whose care the two waifs had been committed led them to his wagon, where a meal was already awaiting them. "You shall remain here," he said. "In a few days you shall have recovered from your fatigues. In the meantime remember that now and forever you are of our religion. Brigham Young has said it, and he has spoken with the voice of Joseph Smith, which is the voice of God.

CHAPTER II.

This is not the place to commemorato the trials and privations endured by tho immigrant Mormons beforo they came to their final haven. From tho shores of the Mississippi to the western slopes of the Rocky mountains they had struggled on with a constancy almost unparalleled in history. Tho savage man and the savago beast, hunger, thirst, fatigue and disease, every impediment which nature could place in tho way, had all been ovcTcome with Anglo-Saxon tenacity. Yet tho long journey and tho accumulated terrors had shaken tho hearts of tho stoutest among them. There was not ono who did hot sink upon his knees in heartfelt prayer when they saw the broad valley of Utah bathed in the sunlight beneath them and learned from the lips of their leader that this was tho promised land, and that these virgin acros were to bo theirs forevermore.

Young speedily proved himself to be a skillful administrator as well as a resolute chief. Maps were drawn and charts prepared in which thofuturo city was sketched out. All around farms were apportioned and allotted in proportion to tho standing of each individual. The tradesman was put to his trado and tho artisan to his calling. In the town streets and squares sprang up as if by magic. In tho country there were draining and hedging, planting and clearing, until tho next summer saw the whole country golden with the wheat crop. Everything prospered in tho strango settlement. Abovo all, the great temple which they had erected in the center of the city grow ever taller and larger. From the first blush of dawn until tho closing of the twilight the clatter of tho hammer and the rasp of the saw were never absent from tho monument which tho_ iinmigrants erect

ed to Him who had Ted ffierrfsaFe through many dangers. The two castaways, John Ferrier and the little girl who had shared his fortunes and had been adopted as his daughter, accompanied the Mormons to the end of their great pilgrimage. Littlo Lucy Ferrier was borne along pleasantly enough in Elder Stangerson's wagon, a retreat which she shared with the Mormon's three wives and with his son, a headstrong, forward boy of 12. Having

rallied, with the elasticity of childhood, from tho shock caused by her mother's death, she soon became a pet with the women and reconciled herself to this new life in her moving canvas covered home. In the meantime, Ferrier, having recovered from his privations, distinguished himself as a useful guide and an indefatigable hunter. So rapidly did he gain the esteem of his new companions that when they reached the end of their wanderings it was unanimously agreed that he should be provided w7ith as large and as fertile a tract of land as any of the settlers, with the exception of Young himself and of Stangerson, Kimball, Johnston and Drebber, who were the four principal elders.

On the farm thus acquired John Ferrier built hiiuself a substantial loghouse, which received so many additions in succeeding years that it grew into a roomj' villa. He was a man of a practieal turn of mind, keen in his dealings, skillful with his hands. His iron constitution enabled him to work morning and evening at improving and tilling his lands. Hence it came about that his farm and all that belonged to him prospored exceedingly. In three years he wa better off than his neighbors, in six he was well to do, in nine he was rich, and in twelve there were, not half a dozen I men in the whole gf Salt Lake. City who could compare with him. From tho I great inland sea to tho distant Wahsatch mountains there was no name better known than that of John Ferrier.

There was one way, and only one, in

which he offended tho susceptibilities of I his co-religionists. No argument or per- I suasion could ever induce him to set up a I female establishment after the manner of his companions. He never gave reasons I for this persistent refusal, but contented himself by resolutely and inflexibly adhering to his determination. There were some who accused him of lukewarmness in his adopted religion and others who put it down to greed of wealth and reluctance to incur expense. Others, again, spoke of some early love affair and of a fair haired girl who had pined away on the shores of the Atlantic. Whatever the reason, Ferrier remained strictly celibate. In every other respect ho conformed to the religion of the young settlement and gained the name of being an orthodox and straight walking man.

Lucy Ferrier grew up within the loghouse and assisted her adopted father in all his undertakings. The keen air of the mountains and the balsamic odor of the pine trees took the place of nurse and mother to tho young girl. As year succeeded to year she grew taller and stronger, her cheek more ruddy and her step more elastic. Many a wayfarer upon the highroad which ran by Ferrier's farm felt long forgotten thoughts revive in his mind as he watched her lithe, girlish figure tripping through the wheatfields or met her mounted upon her father's mustang and managing it with all the ease and grace of a true child of the west. So tho bud blossomed into a flower, and the year which saw her father the richest of the farmers left her as fair a specimen of American girlhood as could be found in the whole Pacific slope.

It was not. the father, however, who first discovered that the child had developed into the woman. It seldom is in such cases. That mysterious change I is too subtle and too gradual to be measured by dates. Least of all does the maiden herself know it until the tone of a voice or the touch of a hand sets her heart thrilling within her, and she learns, with a mixturo of pride and of fear, that a new and larger nature has awakened within her. There are few who can not recall that day and remember the ono little incident which heralded the dawn of a new life. In the caso of Lucy Ferrier the occasion was serious enough in itself, apart from its future influence on her destiny aud that of many besides.

It was a warm June morning, and tho Latter Day Saints were as busy as the bees whose hive they had chosen for their

broken out in California, and the overland route lay through the city of tho elect. There, too, were droves of sheep and bullocks coming in from the outlying pasture lands and trains of tired immigrants, men and horses equally weary of their interminable journey. Through all this motley assemblage, threading her way with the skill of an accomplished rider, there galloped Lucy

Ferrier, her fair faco flushed with the excrciso and her long chestnut hair floating out bohind her. Sho had a commission from her father in the city and was dashing in as she had done many atimo beforo with all tho fearlessness of youth, thinking only of her task and how it was to bo performed. Tho travel stained adventurers gazed after her in astonishment, and even the unemotional Indians, journeying in with their peltry, relaxed thoir accustomed stoicism as they marveled at tho beauty of tho palo faced maiden.
