CHAPTER XII. •V * i J* * . 1^1 , , ?o . A Fight for Uf<>; /•*.." '^raSH&feam of Saints totW&rfcat Basin had become well-nigh^ contin­ uous--Saints of all degrees of pros­ perity, from Parley Pratt, the Archer of Paradise, with his wealth of wives, wagons and cattle; to Barney Bigler, unblessed with wives or .herds, who put his earthly goods on a wheelbar­ row and, to the everlasting glory of God, trundled it from the Missouri river >to the valley of the Great Salt Lake. c Train after train set out for the! new Zion with faith that God would drop manna before them. One by one ih^ trains worked down Snto the valley, the tired Saints mak­ ing fresh their covenants by re bap­ tism as they came. In the waters of the River Jordan, Joel Rae made hun­ dreds to be renewed in the Kingdom, swearing them to obey Brighfttfl the Lord's anointed, in all his orders, spir­ itual or temporal, and the priesthood or either of them, and all church au­ thorities in like manner; to regard this obligation as superior to all laws of the United States and all earthly laws whatsoever; to cherish enmity against the government of the United states, that the blood of Joseph Smith •nd the Apostles slain in that genera­ tion might be avenged; and to keep the matter of this oath a profound se­ cret then and forever. And from these waters of baptism the purified Saints went to their inheritances in Zion---took their humble places, and began to sweat and bleed in the up­ building of the new Jerusalem. From a high, tented wagon In one such train, creaking its rough way down Emigration canyon, with strain­ ing oxen and tired but eager people, there had leaped late one afternoon the girl whose eyes were to call to Ulm so potently--Incomparable eyes, large and deep, of a velvety grayness, under black brows splendidly bent. Nor had the eyes alone voiced that call to o<a starved senses. He had caught the free, fearless confidence in her leap over the wheel, and her graceful abandon as she stool there, finely erect and full-curved, her head With its Greek lines thrown well back, and her strong hands raised to read- Just the dusliy hair that tumbled about her head like a storm cloud. * i Men from the train were all about, and others from the settlement, and these spoke to her, some in serious greeting, some with Jesting words. She returned it all in good part with­ out embarrassment--even the sally of the winking wag who called out: "Now, then, Mara Cavan! Here We are, and a girl like yourself ought to catch an Elder, at the very lowest." } She laughed with easy good nature, •still fumbling in the dusk of blown hair at the back of her head, showing A:full-lipped mouth, beautifully large, with strong-looking, white teeth. "I'll catch never a one myself, if you please, Nathan Tanner! 1*11 do no catching at all, now! I'm the one will hive to be caught!" Iler voice was a contralto, with the little hint of roughness that made it warm and richly gelden; that made It fall, Indeed, upon the ears of the listening Elder like a cathedral chime calling him to forget all and worship --forget all but that he was five and twenty with the hot blood surging and crowding and crying out in his veins. Now, having a little subdued the tossing-storm cloud of hair, she stood with one hand upon her hip and the other shading her eyes, looking in­ tently Into the streets of the new set­ tlement. And again there was ban­ tering Jest from the men about, and the ready, careless response from her, with gestures of an impishly reckless unconcern, of a full readiness to give and take in easy good fellowshl But then, in the very midst of a light response to one of the bantering men, Tier gray eyes met for the first time the very living look of the young Elder standing near. She -war'*! with an awkward laugh, and looking down. But, his eyes keeping steadily upon <ber, she, as if defiantly, returned his look for a fluttering second, trying to make her eyes survey him slowly from head to foot with her late cool carelessness; but she had to let them fall again, and he saw the color iome under the clear skin. He knew by these tokens Chat he go^ssed a power over this splendid woman that none of the other men could Wield--she had lowered her eyes" to no other bat him--and all the man in him sang Exultantly under the knowledge. He greeted her father, the little Seumas Cavan, of Indomit­ able spirit, fresh, for all his march of a thousand miles, and he welcomed them both to Zion. Again and again while he talked to them he caught quick glances from the wonderful eyes--glances of interest, of inquiry --now of half-hearted defiance, now of wondering submission. The succeeding months had been a time of struggle with himi--a struggle to maintain his character of Elder after the Order of Melchisedek in the full gaze of those velvety gray eyes, £!& In the light of her reckless, full- tipped smile; to present to the tempt­ ress a shield of austere piety which her softest glances should not avail to melt. For something in her man­ ner told him that she divined all his weakness; that, if she acknowledged his power over her, she recognised her own power over him, a power equal to and Justly balancing the oth­ er. Even tohen he discoursed from the pulpit, his glance would fasten upon hers, as if there were but the one face before him Instead of a thou- 'to ̂ ke'-*ailii ilu&dgihthe mow from the distant canyons, and se was precious stuff. For three months the cutting winds came down from tlte north, sod the pitiless wln- tsr^Awms ragi# About them. An in­ ventory was early taken of the food­ stuffs, and thereafter rations were Is­ sued alike to all, Whether rich or poor. Otherwise many of the latter must have perished. It was a time of hard expedients, such as men are? oontent to face only for the love of God. They ranged the hills and benches to dig' sego and thistle roots, and in the last days of winter many took the rawhides from their roofs, boiling and eating them. When spring came, they watched hungrily for the first green vegetation, which they gathered and cooked. Truly it seemed they had stopped in a desert as cruel in its way as the human foes from whom they had fled. It was now that the genius of their leader showed. He was no longer Brigham Young, the preacher, but a father In Israel to, his starving chil­ dren. /<. The efforts of Brigham to put heart into the people were ably seconded by Joel Rae. He was loved like Brigham, but not feared. He preached like Brigham submission to the divine ^ill as interpreted by the priesthood, but he was more extravagant than Brig­ ham in his promises of blessings in store for them. He never resorted to vagueness in his pictures of what the Lord was about to do for them. He was literal and circumstantial to a de­ gree that made Brigham and the older men in authority sometimes writhe in public and chide him in private. They were appalled at the sweeping victories he promised the Saints over the hated Gentiles at an early day. They suggested, too, that the Lord might withhold an abundance from them for a few years until he had more thoroughly tried them. But their counsel seemed only to inflame him to fresh absurdities. In the very days of their greatest scarcity that winter, when almost every man was dressed in skins, and the daily fare was thistle roots, he declared to them a%a Sunday service: "A time of p'lenty is at hand--of great plenty. I cannot tell you how I know these things. 1 do not know -v? She and, and :;he knew that she mocked him in her heart; knew she divined there was that within him which strongly would have had her and him­ self far away--alone. Nor was the girl's own mind all of a piece. ,For, if she flaunted herself before him, as if with an impish re­ solve to be ills undoing, < there were still times when he awed her by his words of fire, and by his high, deter­ mined stand in some circle to which she knew she could never mount. That night when he walked with her in the moonlight, she knew he had trembled on the edge of the gulf fixed so mysteriously between them. She had even felt herself leaning over to draw him down with her own warm arms; and then all at once he had strangely moved away, widening this mysterious gulf that always separated them, leaving her solitary, hurt, and wondering. She could not understand it. Life called through them so strongly. How jpould he breast the mighty rash? Aad why, why must it be so? „ , u During the winter that now came upon them, it became even a greater wonder to her; for It was common suffering--a time of dark days which fhe felt they might have lightened for each other, and a time when she knew that more than eVer she drew him. For hardly had the feast of the Har­ vest Home gone by when food once more became scarce. The heaven- nt gulls had, alter all, saved but Drought and early frost hed tjnjlb; sad those who m thsfejiast came all too ith empty meal sacks, ginning of winter there people in the valley to be s loaves and fishes, without decent were 5, No Other But Hint, how they cSme to me. I pray--and they come to life in my spirit; that is how I have found this fact; in less than a year states goods of all need­ ed kinds will be sold here cheaper than they can be bought in eastern cities. You shall have an abundance at prices that will amaze you." And the people thrilled to hear him, partaking of his faith, remembering the gulls that ate the crickets, and the rain and wind that came to'save the pioneer train from fire. To the leaders such prophesying was merely reckless, inviting further chastise­ ments, from heaven, and calculated to cause a loss of faith in the priesthood. And yet, wild as It wasi they saw this latter prophecy fulfilled; for now, so soon after the birth of this new empire, while it suffered and grew weak and bade fair to perish in its cradle of faith, there was made for it a golden spoon of plenty. Over across the mountains the year before,' on the decayed granite bed­ rock of the tall race at the mill of <me Sutter, a man had picked up a few particles of gold, the largest as big as grains - of wheat. The news of the wonder had spread to the east, and now came frenzied hordes of gold seekers. The valley of the mountains where the Saints had hoped to hide was directly in their path, and there to rest and to renew TtMmhraat of '49 *®s beautiful in all the valley; and thito wild prophecy of Joel Rae made sober truth. Many of the gold seekers had loaded their wagons with merchandise for the mining/.camps; but in their haste to be at the golden hills, they now sold it at a sacrifice in order to lighten their loads. The movement across the Sierras became a wild race; clothing, provisions, tools and arms--things most needful to the halfclad, half-starved community on the shores of the lake--were bartered to them at less than half-price for fresh horses and light wagons. Where a $25 pack-mule was sold for $200, a set of joiner's tools that had cost $100 back in St. Louis would be bought for $254 The next year the gain to the Saints was even greater, as the tide of golct seekers rose. Early that summer .they sold flour to the oncoming le­ gions for a dollar a pound, taking their pay in the supplies they most needed on almost their own terms. This passing of the gold seekers was not, however, a blessing without drawbacks. For the Saints had hoped to wax strong unobserved, unmolest­ ed, forgotten, in this mountain retreat. ! But now obscurity could no longer be their lot. The hated Gentiles had again to be reckoned with. ( First, the United States had ex4 pandgd or the west to include their territory--the fruit of the Mexican war--the poor bleak desert they were maktug to blossom. Next, the gov­ ernment at Washington had sent to construe and administer their laws men who were aliens from the Com­ monwealth of Israel. True, Millard Fillmore had appointed Brlgnam gov­ ernor of the new territory--but there were chief Justices and asso&ate jus­ tices, Secretaries, attorneys, mar­ shals, Indian agents from the wicked and benighted East; men who frank­ ly disbelieved that the voice of Brig­ ham was as the voice of God, and who did not hesitate to let their heresy be'known. A stream of these came and went--trouble-mongers who despised and Insulted the Saints, and returned to ttfashington with cal­ umnies on their lips. It was true that Brigham had continued, as was right, to be the only power in the territory; but the narrow-minded appointees of the federal government persisted In misconstruing this circumstance;, re­ fusing to look upon it as the just mark of Heaven's favor, and declar­ ing it to be the arrogance or a mere civil usurper. Under such provocation Joel Rae longed more than ever to be a Lion of the Lord, for those above him in the church endured too easily, he considered, the indignities that were put upon them by these evil-minded Gentile politicians. He would have rejected them forthwith, as he be­ lieved the Lord would have had them do,--nay, as he believed the Lord woutd sooner or later punish them for not doing. He would have thrust them into the desert, and called upon the Lord for strength to meet tho storm that would doubtless be raised by such a course. He was impatient when the older men cautioned moder­ ation and the petty wiles of diplo­ macy. Yet he was not altogether discouraged; for even they lost pa* tience at times, and were almost as outspoken as he could have wished. The spring of '56 found them again digging roots and resorting to all the old pitiful makeshifts of famine. "This," declared Joel Rae, to the starving pieople, "is a judgment ot Heaven upon us for permitting Gen­ tile aggression. It is meaht to clench Into our mindB the God's truth that we must stand by our faith with the arms of war if need be." "Brother Rae is juBt a little mite soul-proud," Brigham thereupon con­ fided to his counsellors, "and I wouldn't wonder if the Lord would be glad to see some of It taken out of htm. Anyway, I've got a job for him that will just about do it." Brigham sent for him the next day and did him the honor to entrust to him an important mission. He was to go back to the Missouri river and on one of the hand-cart parties that were to leave there that sum­ mer. The three years of famine had left the Saints in the valley poor, so that the immigration fund was de­ pleted. The oncoming* Saints, there­ fore, who were not able to pay their own way, were this summer, instead of riding in ox-carts, to walk across the plains and mountains, and push their belongings before them in hand- tarts. It had become Brigham's pet scheme, and the Lord had fevealed to htm that It would wort out auspic­ iously. Joel prepared to abey, though it was not without ave"Sion that he went again to the edge -?f the Gentile country. He was full of bitterness while he was obliged to tarry on the banks of the Missouri. The hatred of those who had persecuted him and his peo­ ple, bred into him from boyhood, flashed up in his heart with more fire than ever. Even when a late comer from Nauvoo told him that Prudence Corson bad married Capt. Girnway of the Carthage Grays, two years after the exodus from Nauvoo, his first feeling was one of blazing anger against the mobocrats rather than gret for hlB lost love. | (TO BE CONTINUED.) ^ roRK ^Ef<T«At feLliCThlC TRAIN 13 WRECKED. .

NewYoyk.--Twenty-twode&d and 145 others" more or less seriously in­ jured, is the result of the wreck of an electric express train on the New York Central railroad at Two Hundred and Fifth street and Webster avenue Saturday night. Of the large number of Injured, 50, according s to hospital and police re­ ports, are seriously hurt and the death list may be increased within the next 24 hours. Most of the others are suf­ fering from lacerations or shock, and Will recover. Cars Huirled from Track, Four CM* of the train, which was drawn by two big electric locomotives and running at high speed, left the track and, plunged down an embank­ ment The wreck occurred on a curve, and so great was the momentum of the train that the cars which left the track were dragged along the ties and shattered to bits. The rear coach, which was filled mainly by women, snapped from the train, rolled over and over and finally collapsed, a mass of splintered wood and twisted steel, while the bodies of dead and injured passengers were strewn for 100 yards along Woodlawn avenue. * > „ Crowded with Woman. The train, which was made up of the two motors, a combination .bag­ gage car and smoker arid four pas­ senger coaches, left the Grand Central station at 6:13 o'clock. It was Crowd­ ed with women on their way home from matinees, and with commuters for White Plains and points beyond. After making the stop at One Hun­ dred and Twenty-fifth street, the train was scheduled to run to White Plains without a stop. It had a clear track, and was making unusually fast time. At Woodlawn avenue the four trackB run through a rocky cut and take a sharp curve. When the train reached the1 curve both motors and the smoking car swung safely around, but the cars following left the rails and, plunging over on their sides with a terrific crash, tore up the tracks and after sliding 100 yards collapsed. Dead 8trewn on Track* The dead and dying were strewn alohg the tracks. Many of the vic­ tims were almost unrecognisable. In being dragged along the cinders and coal dust had been so ground into their faces and the exposed parts of their bodies, that it was with difficulty that the rescuers could tell whether they were white or black. Ambulances and surgeons from every hospital In Bronxborough and from BelleVue, and the police reserves from many stations were soon on hand and the work of rescue was car­ ried on rapidly. Cause of Wreck Unknovfa. The cause of the wreck is still a mattes* of speculation. All Saturday night Inspector Flood of the police de­ partment, Coroner Schwannecke and Assistant District Attorney Smythe, togther with other members of the district attorney's force, looked over the scene and sought to determine the cause of the derailment of the tr$ln. The wreckage was completely cleared away Sunday. All four of the tracks of the New York Central through the rocky cut where the train left the rails and several of the cars went to pieces, had been cleared. The track on which the train was running and which was ripped up In the acci­ dent had been restored, the third rail replaced and traffic resumed. s Statement for the Company. In an official statement Sunday, 3. C. Hammond, press representative of the New York Central railroad, said that the investigation made by the railroad officials had not disclosed the cause of the accident. One of the small wheels on the left side of the front of the leading motor was found to be broken at the point of derail­ ment, as pieces of the wheel were picked up at that point. In almost the same spot, he said, a rail was broken, but it was impossible to say which of these caused the wreck and which re­ sulted from it. He said the train was six minutes late and that the reports of the trainmen and of officials who had Investigated showed that it was going from 45 to 50 miles an hour. There were many exaggerated stories of the wreck In circulation. One was to the effect that many of those killed had been electrocuted by the third rail. This was absolutely denied by the coroner as well as by the police, who declare that none ot the bodies was burned. Ohio Strike Grows Ssrlous.

He should have charged $1.50 at least and if Uncle Billy had said it was $2 you needn't have been surprised. You can get a tough old steak at that figure if you look around long enough, but if you get anything fresh and juicy you musn't kick at $4." "Great heavens!" gasped the man as he turned pale. "Four dollars for a beefsteak, and I thought Uncle Billy was doing me when ho claimed to have paid 75 cents! Say, T owe him an apology. I owe him a hundred.

Some names are so cosmopolitan that it makes no difference how they are spelled, but juBt let anybody ring a few unauthorized changes on the name of Frederick and the man who owh& it will have something to say. They will not be pleasant things to listen to, either. As Frederick was christened so does he insist upon be­ ing spelled. If at the baptismal font he was invested with the dignity of a "k" he staggers under its weight to the end of the chapter. The only per­ son whose Indignation Can equal Fred­ erick's when somebody leaves off the "k" is Frederic when Somebody else puts It on. Family ties have been severed and irreparable social erup­ tions brought about by the unfortun­ ate omission or addition of that final letter. To tutored ears Frederick with or without the "k" sounds just as mu­ sical, but to Frederick himself that al­ phabetical error is worse than a whole orchestra out of tune, and it behooves the person who would keep on the good side of him to learn his prefer­ ence in the matter.

Her cost was $40,000. The steamship was origin­ ally the Shoe City, running between Boston and Lynn.

After landing the people the steamship was employed carrying supplies from the various Islands and Irtissionary stations, and also in car­ rying native children to the Christian schools. There are few vessels afloat so well known, to seamen as the "Preacher Ship," as she was named. The reason for selling the steam­ ship is stated to be the cost of operat­ ing her.
