In her impatience she en' deavorvl to puss this obstacle by pushing her horse into what appeared to be k gap. Scarcely had she got fairly into it. however, before the peasts closed in behind her" and she Jtotfnd herslf completely embedded in the moving stream of fierce-eyed. long-horned bullocks.

Hr had l>e<;u »\ keen j as any of them upon the busim-v until this sudden incident had drawn hb» . thought* into another channel. The | sight of the fair young girl, as frank and wholesoyne as the Sierru breezes, had stirred his volcanic. untamed heart to its very depths When she had vanished from his siiaht. tie realized that a crisis had rotnc in his life, and that neither silver speculations nor any’ other questions cotfid ever be of such importance to him as this new and all-, absorbing one. The love which had sprung up in his heart was not the sudden. changeable fancy of a boy. but rather the wild, fierce passion of a man of strong will and imperious temper. He had been accustomed to succeed in al) that he undertook. He swore in his heart he would not fail In this if human effort and human perseverance could render him successful. He called on John Ferrier that night, and maty times again until his face ■was a familiar one at the farmhouse. John, cooped up in the valley, and absorbed In hie work, had little chaace of learning the news of the outside world during the last twelve years. AU this Jefferson Hope was able to tell him. and fan a style which'interested Lucy, aa well as her father. He bad been a pioneer la Calitoraia. and could uarYate many a atfMff* Ule at fathOM (■Mto

He soon became a favorite with the farmer, who -spoke eloquently of his virtues. On such occasions Lucy was ’ silent, but her blushing cheek and her bright, happy eyes showed only too eiearly that her' young heart was no longer her own. Her honest father may not have observed these symptoms, but they were assuredly not thrown i awav upon the man who had won her | affections. . I t was a summer evening when he came galloping down the road and , pulled up at the gate. . She was at the doorway, and.came down to meet him. He threw the bridle over the fence and j strode up the pathway. •‘I am off.

Hence, every man feared his neighbor, and none spoke of the things which were nearest his ' heart 1 One fine morning. John Ferrier was about to set on i to bis wheat-fields, when he heard the click of the latch, ami. looking through the window, saw ' a . stout sandy-haired, middle-aged man coining up the pnthyray. His, ..heart leaped to his mouth, for this was none other than the great Brigham A'dung himself. Full of for he knew that such a visit boded 1 him little good—Ferrier ran to the door to greet the Mormon chief. The " latter, however, received his salutation coldly, and followed him with a stern 1 face into the sitting-room. “Brother Ferrier." he said, taking • seat, ami eyeing the farmer keenly frem under his light-colored eyelashes, “the true believers have beed good friends to you. We picked ybu up ' when you were starving in the desert, shared dur" food with you. led you •afe to the chosen valley, gave you a g,sully share of land, and allowed you to wax rich under our protection. la not this so?” "It is so.” answered John Ferrier. “In return for all this we asked but one condition; that: was that you should embnuv the true faith, and conform in every way to its usages. This you promi'sed to do: and this, if common report says truly, you have neglected."' “And iit>w, have I neglected it?" asked Ferrier, throwing out . his hands in expostulation. “Hava I not given to the common fund? Have I not, atglided at |he temple?, Have 1 not-—” AVUeref are your wives?" asked Yonng. looking round him. “Call them in. that I may greet thym." “It is true that I have not married." Ferrier answered. “Butwomen were few. aiid there were many who had bei ter claims thaji 1.1 was not a lonely man: I had my daughter to attend to my wants." “It is of thajjdatighter that F would s]H-ak to s'ou.'" said the leader of the Mormons. “She has grown to be the flower of t’tah and has found favor in the eyes of many who are highin the land." ' John Ferrier groaned internally. Then- are stories of her which I ’ would fain disbelieve—stories that she ;,led to some. Gentile. This must be th-' gossip of idle tongues. What is the thirteenth rule in the code of the 1 sainted Joseph Smith? ‘Let every maiden of the true faith marry one of the elect: for if she wed a Gentile she commits a grievous sin.' This being sb it is impossible that you. who profess the holy t reed. ihotUd suffer yourdaughter to violate it" ■ John Ferrier made no answer, but lie'played nervously with his riding whip. -, “I pofi this otae 'point your whole faith shall be tested—-so it has been decided iii the sacred council of four The giH is young, and we would not ha ve her wed gray hairs: neither would ’.••e deprive her of all choice. We elders have many heifers | Heber C. Kimball, iu one of his sermons, alludes to his hundred wives under this endearing epithet j, but our children must also be providfed; Staligefson has a son. and Drvbber has a son. anil either of them would gladly welcome your daughter to their houae latt her choose between them- They are young and rich, and of the true faith. What say you to that?" Ferrier remained silent for some little time,, with his brows knitted. “You will give us time." he said, at last “My daughter is very young—she i< si'Bn'c of an age to marry." "She shall have a month to choose,” said Young, rising from his seat. “At the end nA that time she shall give her answer. - " He was passing through the door, when he turned, with flushed face and flashing eyes. “It were better for you, John Ferrier." he thundered, “thatybu and she were now lying blanched skeletons upon the Sierra Blanco, than Uiat you should put your weak wills •gainst the orders of the Holy Four!” With a threatening gesture of bls hat'd' he tifrned from the door, and heard his heavy step scrunching along the shingly path. He was still sitting with his elbows upon his knees, considering how, be should broach the matter to his daughter. when a soft hind wax laid upon his. and looking hp he saw her standing beside him. Gne glance at her pale, frightened face showed him that she had*heanl what Itad passed. , “I could not help it," she said, in answer to his look. “Hi' voice rang through the house. O father,’ father, what shaLLwv do?“ “IJOn't you scare yourself." he anI 'Wervd, ilmontf her to him. and. pasa-hiL-his'broad. rough hand caressingly over her chestnut hair. “We’ll fix it up somehow or another. You don’t find yowr fanet kind o’ lessening for this chap, do you?" A sob and a .squeeze of his hand were her only answer. "No: of course not. 1 shouldn't care to bear You say you did He’s a likely lad. and he’s a Christian, which ismorr than, these folk here, in spite o' ail their praying ami preaching. There's a (Kirty starting for Nevada tiemorrow, and 1 11 manage to send him a message’ , j letting him know the hole we are in. If I know anything o' that young man. he'll be l*ack here with a speed that would whip electro-telegraphs." Lucy laughed through her, tears at *1 her father’s description. “.When he comes, he will advise us fur,the best. But it is for you that I air dear. One hears—mne hears suck dreadful stories about those ' who oppo-e the prophet: something terrible always happens to them." “But we haven't opposed him yet." her father viawered. "It will be time . to fcok ont for squalls when we de. ' have a clear month before us: at the end of that.

The cause of the • firfe is still unknown; It is generally believed that a spark from a Chicago' Burlington <fc Quincy engine, which was working in the vicinity of the place where the tire started, fell into the shavings and was fanned to a blaze by the wind. Detboit, Mich., Aug. 4.— One fireman was killed and six were injured Thursday afternoon in a fire which ‘ destroyed the planing-mill and lumber yards of E. G.
