CHAPTER IX.
The Flower of I'tah.
This is not the place to commemorate
tlie trials and privations endured
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 I
history. The savage man and the
savage beast, hunger, thirst, fatigue, I
and disease ? every inmwlimont i
which Nature could place in the way
?had all been overcome with AngloSaxon
tenacity. Yet the long journey
and the accumulated terrors had
shaken the hearts of the stoutest
among thorn. There was not one who
did not 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 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 wore drawn
and charts prepared, in which the future
city was sketched out. All
around farms were apportioned and
allotted in proportion to the standing
of each individual. The tradesman
was put to his trade and the artisan
to his calling. In the town streets
and squares sprang up as if by magic.
In the country there were draining
and hedging, planting and clearing
until the next summer saw the whole
country golden with the wheat crop.
Everything prospered in the strange
settlement. Above all, the great temple
which they had erected in the center
of the city grew taller and larger.
From the lirst blush of dawn until
i nc closing or tiio t wilight the clatter
of the hammer and the rasp of the
saw were never absent from the monument
which the emigrant erected to
Him who had led them safe 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 pilgrimage. Little
Lucy Ferrier was home along pleasit
n ly enough in Klder Stangerson's
wagon, a retreat wjjieh she shared
with the Mormon's three wives and
with his son, a headstrong, forward
boy of lw<lve. Having rallied, with
the elasticity of childhood, from the
shock caused hy her mother's death,
s'ie scon became a pet with the wo""on
and reconciled herself to this
im w 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 ho gain the esteem of
his new companions that when they
reached the end of their wanderings
it was unanimously agreed that he
should he provided with as large and
fertile tract of land as any of the set
dors, with tho exception of Young
himself, and of Stangerson, Kimball,
Johnston, and Drebber, who were the
four principal elders.
On tho farm thus acquired John
Ferrier built himself a substantial
log-house, which received so many
additions in succeeding years that it
grow into a roomy villa. lie was a
man of a practical turn of mind, keen
in his dealings, and skillful with his
hands, llis iron constitution enabled
him to work morning anu evening at
improving and tilling his lands.
Hence it came about that his farm
and all that belonged to him prospered
exceedingly. fn three years he
was better off than his neighbors, in
six he was well-to-do, in nine he was
rich, and in twelve there wore not
half a dozen men in the whole of Salt
T.ake City who could compare with
him. From the great inland sea to
tho distant Wasatch Mountains there .
was no name better known than that
of John Ferrier.
There was one way, and only one,
in which he offended the susceptibilities
of the co-religionists. Xo argument
or persuasion could ever induce
him to get up a female establishment (
after the manner of his companions.
in 111 v i i j;;i vc reasons ior iiiih persistent
refusal, but contented himself
by resolutely and nflexibly adhering
to bis determination. There were
some who accused him of lukewarm- ]
noss in his adopted religion, and others
who put it down to greed if
wealth and reluctance to incur expense.
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, Ferrior remained strictly eel- j
ibate. In every other respect he conformed
to the religion of the young ^
settlement and gained the name of
being an orthodox and straight-walking
man.
Taicy Ferrior grew up within the
log house, and assisted her adopted j
father in all bis undertakings. The
keen air of the mountains and bol- (
sarnie odor of the,pino-treos took the j
place of nurse and mother to the
young girl. As year succeeded to f
year she grew taller and stronger, her ,
cheek more ruddy, and her step more j
elastic. Many a wayfarer upon the ^
highroad which ran by Ferrler's farm
felt long-forgotten thoughts revive in j
his mind as ho watched her lithe,
i _
girlish figure tripping through the
wheat fields, or met her mounted up011
her father's mustang, and managing
it with all the ease and grace of
a true child of the West. So the bud
blossomed into a flower, and the year
which saw her father the richest of
(he farmers left her as fair a specimen
of American girlhood as oounld
be found on 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
I change is too subtlo and too gradual
to lie measured by dates. Least of
(all does the maiden herself know it
until tlie 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
j one little incident which heralded the
dawn of a new life. In the case of
I Lucy Kerrier the occasion was serious
enought in itself, apart from its future
inflluence on her destiny and
that of many besides.
It was a warm Juno morning, and
the Lattor-I>ay Saints were as busy
as the bees whose hives they have
cnosen 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 broken
out in California, and the Overland
Route lay through the City of
the Klect. 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 tin accomplished rider, there
galloped Lucy Ferrier, her fair face
flushed with the exercise and her long
chestnut hair floating out behind her.
She had a commission from her father
in the city, and was dashing in as
she had one many a time before, with
all the fearlesness of youth, thinking
only of her task and how it was to be
performed. The travel-stained adventurers
gazed after her in astonishment,
and even the unemotional
Indians, journeying in with their peltry,
relaxed their accustomed stoicism
as they marveled at the beauty of
the pale-face maiden. *
She had reached the outskrts of [
the city when she found the road I
blocked by a great drove of cattle,
driven by half a dozen wild-herdsmen
from the plains. In her impatience
she endeavored to pass this obstacle
by pushing her hbrse into what
.I(11"-ared to a gap. {Scarcely had
she got fairly Into it, however, before
<? boasts closed in behind her, and
she found herself completely imbedded
i>i the moving stream of fierce-eyed.
, long-horned bullocks. Accustomed
as she was to deal with cattle,
she was not alarmed at her situation,
but took advantage of every opportunity
to urge her horse on in the
hope of pushing her way through the
cavalcade. Unfortunately the horns
of one of the creatures, either by accident
or design, game in violent contact
with the flank of the mustang,
and excited it to madness. In an instant
it reared up upon its hind legs
with a snort of rage, and pranced and
tossed in a way that would have unseated
any but a most skillful rider.
The situation was full of peril. Every
plunge of the excited horse
brought it against the horns again,,
and goaded it to fresh madness. It
was all that the girl could do to keep
herself in the saddle, yet a slip would
mean a terrible death under the hoofs
of the unwieldy and terilied^animals.
Unaccustomed to sudden emergencies,
her head began to swim and her
grip upon the bridle to relax. Choked
by the rising cloud of dust and by the
six-am from the struggling creatures,
s1k> might have abandoned her efforts
in despair but for a kindly voice
at her elbow which assured her of assistance.
At the same moment a sinewy
brown hand caught the freightened
horse by the curb, and forcing a
way through the drove, soon brought
her to the outskirts.
"You're not hurt, 1 hope, miss,"
3aid her preserver, respectfully.
She looked up at his dark, fierce
face, and laughed saucily.
"I'm awful frightened," she said,
naively; "whoever \rrfuld have
bought that Poncho would have .been
so scared by a lot of cows?"
"Thank God you kept your seat,"
he other said, earnestly. He was a
all, savage-looking young fellow,
mounted on a powerful ran horse,
\nd clad in rough dress of a hunter,
A itli a long rifle slung over his shouller.
"I guess you are the daughter of
lolui Ferrler," he remarked. "I saw
/ou ride down from his house. When
/on see him, ask him if lie remembers
lie Jefferson Hopes of St. Louis. If
le's tbe same Ferrier, my father and
10 worn pretty thick."
"Hadn't you bettor come and ask
yourself?" she asked demurely.
The young fellow seemed pleased
it the suggestion, and his dark eyes
iparklod with pleasure.
"I'll do so," he said; "we've been '
a the mountains for two months, and
ire not over and above in visiting
ondition. lie must take us as be
bids us."
"Hi1 lias a good deal to thank you 1
or. and so have I," she answered;
'bo's awful fond of me. If those cows
tad jumped on mo he'd have never >
;ot over it."
"Neither would I," said her cominnion.
<
"You? Well, I don't see that it i
would make much matter to you,
anyhow. You ain't even a friend of
ours."
The young hunter's dark face grew
so gloomy over this remark that Lucy
Ferrier laughed aloud.
"There, I didn't mean that," she
isaid; "of course you are a friend now.
You must conie and see us. Now I
must push you along, or father won't 1
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
dust.
Young Jefferson Hope rode on with
his companions, gloomy and taciturn.
He and they had been among the Nevada
mountains prospecting for silver,
and were returning to Salt Lake
City in the hope of raising capital
enough to work some lodes wlyeh
they had discovered, lie had been as
keen as any of them upon the busi
ness 11 ii111 tuts 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 volcanic,
untamed heart to its very
depths. When she had vanished
from his sight he realized that a crisis
had come in his life, and that neither
silver speculations nor any other
questions could ever he of such importance
to him as this new and allabsorbing
oik4. The love which had
sprung up in his heart was not the
sudden, changeable fancy of a boy,
hut rather the wild, fierce passion of
a man of strong will and imperious
temper. lie had been accustomed to
succeed in all that lie undertook, lie
swore in his heart he would not fail
in this if human effort and human
perseverance could render him successf
ul.
lie called on John Ferrier that
night, and many times again, until
his face was a familiar one at the
farmhouse. John, cooped up in the
valley and absorbed in his work, had
little chance of learning the news
ironi the outside world during the
last twelve years. All this Jefferson
Hope was able to toll hint, and in a
style which interested Lucy as well
as her mother, lie had been a pioneer
in California, and could narrate many
a strange tale of fortunes made and
fortunes lost in those wild, halycon
days. He had been a scout, too, and
a trapper, a silver explorer and a
ranchman. Whatever stirring adventures
were to he had, Jefferson Hope
had been there in search of them, lie
soon became a favorite with the old
farmer, who spoke eloquently of his
virtues. On such occasions Lucy was
silent, h\it her blushing cheek and her
bright, happy eyes showed only too
clearly that her young heart was no
longer her own. Her honest father
may not have observed these symptoms
but they were assuredly not
thrown away upon the man who had
won her affections.
tlt was a summer evening when he
came galloping down th" 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 strode up the pathway.
'I'm off, Lucy," he said, taking her
two hands and gazing tenderly down
into her face; "1 won't ask you to
come with me now, but will you he
ready to come when I am here
again ?"
"And when will that be?" she asked,
blushing and laughing.
"A couple of months at iho outside.
T will come and claim you then,
Ml V (1 n f 1 I n ir ~ 1

"And how about father?" she asked.
"He has given his consent, provid- 1
nig we pet. these mines working all
right. T have no fear on that head." <
"Oh, well, of course, if you and :
father have aranged it all, there's 110
more to be said," she whispered, with 1
her cheek against his broad chest. <
"Thank Clod!" he said, hoarsely, i
stooping and kissing her. "It is settled
then. The longer I stay the hard- <
or it will be for me to go. They are <
waiting for me at he canyon. Clood-by i
my own darling?good-by! In two (
months you shall see me." t
He tore himself from her as he 1
spoke, and flinging himself upon his t
horse, galloped furiously away; nev- r
er even looking around, as though i
afraid that his resolution might fail 9
him if he took one glance at what he j
was leaving. She stood at he gate, <
gazing after him until he vanished r
from sight. Then she walked back ]
into the house, the happiest girl in all r
Utah. * ' 1

Taken From Jail oil Judge's Ortler.
Harry Kendall Thaw pried out of
Sherbrooko jail on a writ of habeas
corpus obtained by a coup of William
Travers Jerome enjoyod three minutes
of liberty Wednesday afternoon
and then was seized by the Dominion
immigration authorities and hustled
to Coatieook, Quo., where Wednesday |
night lie paced the floor of the immigration
detention room. It was generally
predicted Wednesday night
that before many hours Thaw would
be back in the Matteawan asylum,
from which he escaped Sunday, August
17.
The beginning of the end of Thaw's
refuge in Canada came with dramatic
swiftness. A writ of habeas corpus,
sued out Saturday at the direction of
Jerome, with John Houdreau, chief
of police of this village, as petitioner,
was sustained at 2:4a o'clock Wed- (
nesdftv afternoon by Matthews Hutchinson,
superior judge of the district
of St. Francis, sitting in chambers at
Sherbrooko. Stolid, pallid, numb,
Thaw sat not five feet from tho judge
as ho read the decision. When in the
very last paragraph the court declared
him a free man, Thaw seemed to
crumple up on the lounce where he
sat. A cigar stump fell from his loft

\\\ K. McKoown, of his counsel,
leaned over and. patting him on the
shoulder, whispered. Thaw raised his
big, staring eyes and stood tip.
Immigration ollieors moved near
him and then Thaw began slowly to
move to the door. At the threshold
Assistant Superintendent Robertson
of the immigration bureau s:iid sim
ply, "Come with us, Mr. Thaw.'' And
without a word, except a hoarse good
bye to the reporters, Thaw obeyed, j
Five minutes later a gray roadster j
streaked away from the court house.
In the back seat sat Thaw, lie had
not even been given time to pack his
scanty belongings and voluminous
correspondence in his cell. In an
hour lie was in Coaticook, guarded in
ihe detention room by two stalwart
Dominion police. None but counsel
was allowed to see him.
The twenty-three milo trip was
without special incident. Thaw expressed
no surprise, evidence I no
grief. Behind him trailed his defeated
lawyers.

Judge I. W. bowman, of this city |
is now holding court in (Jreenville.
O" Wednesday lie made this statement
in speaking of those who were _
convicted of violating the liquor law: i
"1 wish to put all interested parties
an notice that whenever defendants
ure convicted, after a fair trial, on
violation of dispensary laws, I will
not impose the alternative sentence
:>f a tine, but will sentence only to
imprisonment." .
The dispatches from (ireenville inlicate
that the Judge's statement
aused some very animated interest,
is there are many blind tigers, who j
lo not ob.'oct to paying a tine out of
no proms or their business, but who
vould seriously think before running
he'rick of a chaingang sentence. As
Pho (Ireenvillo Piedmont, commentng
favorable on the Judge's words, j
lays: "A tiger would much prefer
>aylng $.r>00 to a sentence of sixty
lays. The fine doesn't worry him at
til. But when you deprive him of his
iherty, force him into convict garb
ind to work on the roads or confine- ~
