A STUDY IN SCARLET Br Hir A. Oonma Doyle. CHAPTER IX. The Flower of Utah. This is not the place to commemo rate the trials and privations endur ed by the immigrant Mormons before they came to their final haven. From the shores of the Mississippi to the western slopes of the Rocky Moun tains they had struggled on with a constantcy almost unparalleled in history. The savage man and the savage beast, hunger, thirst, fatigue, and disease — every impediment which Nature could place in the way —had all been overcome with Anglo- Saxon tenacity. Yet the long journey and the accumulated terrors had shaken the hearts of the stoutest among them, -mere was not one who did not sink upon his knees In heart felt 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 the promised land, and that these virgin acres were to be theirs for evermore. Young speedily proved himself to be a skilled administrator, as well as a resolute chief. Maps were drawn and charts prepared, in which the fu ture cltv was sketched out.

So the bud bloeaomed Into a flower, and the year which aaw her father the richest of the farmer* left her as fair a speci men of American girlhood as oounld be found on the whole Pacific slope. It w&a not the father, however, who first discovered that the child had de veloped into the woman. It seldom Is In such cases. That mysterious change 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 mixture 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 one little Incident which heralded the dawn of a new life. In the case of Lucy Ferrier the occasion was serious enought in Itself, apart from its fu ture inflluence on her destiny and that of many besides. It was a warm June morning, and the Latter-Day Saints were as busy as the bees whose hives they have chosen for their emblem. In the fields and In the streets rose the same hum of human industry. Down the dusty highroads defiled long streams of heavily laden mules, all heading to the West, for the gold fever had brok en out in California, and the Over land Route lay through the City of the Fleet. There, too, were droves of sheep and bullocks coming in from the outlying pasture lands, and trains of immigrants, men an 1 horses | equally weary of their Interminable | Jo irney Through all this motley us !

You must come and see us. Now I must push you along, or father won't trust me with his business any more. Good-by.’’ “Good-by,” he answered, raising his broad sombrero and bending over her little hand. She wheeled her mustang round, gave it a cut with her riding-whip, and darted away down the broad road in a rolling cloud of duet. Young Jefferson Hope rode on with his companions, gloomy and taciturn. He and they had been among the Ne vada mountains prospecting for sil ver, and were returning to Salt Lake City in the hope pi raising capital enou^h^to work some lodes which they had discovered. He had been as keen as any of them upon the busi ness until this sudden incident had drawn his thoughts into another channel. The sight of the fair young girl, as frank and wholesome as the Sierra breezes, had stirred his vol canic, untamed heart to its very depths. When she had vanished from his sight he realized that a cris is had come in his life, and that nei ther silver speculations nor any other questions could ever be of such im portance to him as this new and all- absorbing one. The love which had sprung up in his hea/t was not the sudden, changeable fanev of a boy, FREE FOR THREE WNyTES THAW THEN NAIIBKD BY IMMI GRATION AUTHORITY RH.

No argu- m- n! or pprsuasion could over induce him to g"t up a female establishment a tier the manner of his companions. He never gave reasons for this per sistent refusal, but contented himself by resolutely and nflexibly adhering to his determination. There were some who accused him of lukewarm ness in his adopted religion, and oth ers who put it down to greed If wealth and reluctance to incur ex pense. Others, again, spoke of some early love affair, and if a fair-haired girl who had pined away on the shores of the Atlantic. Whatever the reason, Ferrier remained strictly cel ibate. In every other respect he con formed to the religion of the young settlement and gained the name of being an orthodox and straight-walk ing man. Lucy Ferrier grew up within the log house, and assisted her adopted father in all his undertakings. The keen air of the mountains and bol- eamic odor of the pine-trees took the place of nurse and mother to the 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 Perrier’s farm felt long-forgotten thoughts revive la hlg mind aa he watched her lithe. 1 * * N \ * i * ' ■ • • r■ - :- I p.i r I -"’ * r .i '► • -! 1 \ x - • ' V-r < '.bo* •* h’. h a- - .r •! k ■ r '.t- -; t ■ r. ,• \ • 11.-- m p m"n;"H ’ a s: u p -a \ b' 11 xv ii I. a ii .1 c i u v 1 t t' i f r *’i - ’.!

If he's the same Ferrier, my father and he were pretty thick.” “Hadn’t you better come and ask yourself?” ehe asked demurely. The young fellow’ seemed pleased at the suggestion, and his dark eyes sparkled with pleasure. “I’ll do so,” he said: “we’ve been in the mountains for two months, and are not over and above In visiting condition.
