CHAPTER V.'
TIIE GRAVES OP IUE DEAD SEA.
The Hook ol ilormnn is of prodigious
size and .unexampled silliness. One
mirvel.s that any one ever had I he per
sistence to write down its endless round
of repetitions of biblical words nn 1
phrases. Professing to Rive, in the (tlyle
and language of the Bible, thn history of
(ha Tribes from the lime of their disaf
fection till they possessed America nnd
became the monnd-bnilders, it is simply
intolerable ns n piece of nrtislio woik.
Yet ns it was found in nil miuiug-c.unps,
where in the snowy fastnesses we often
had unthing else left to red, it thus' fell
to my lot to read it through not nnfre-
(piently. From title page to colophon
there is not ono lolly or inspired or In
spiring thought, iilto those filling the
volume it nfftcls to follw. A dreary,
weary hook it is. And yet it answers
the Mormon's purpose in this: that
where he cannot find an excuse lor his
notions in the real Book he can surely
find it in tho forged one.
After this huge man with the book nnd
the deep hollow eyes had exhorted and
preached nnd read for hours and hours,
halting now nnd then as ho read, de
vouring the whole camp nnd all that
circle nbont him with his hungry eyes,
the girl drawn even nearest of nil, nnd
right under his eyes nnd right by the
sine of her ignorant nnd fanatical execu
tioners, he calmly nnd with earnest ex
hortation beggtd to bnptiza bi llstouers
in the faith of the Latter-Day Saiuts.
No ond answered or moved. Many a
long breath wm drawn, many a deep
sigh was smothered, but no one spoke.
The missiounry, ns he now announced
himself, looked straight and hard and
earnestly nt the girl. She lifted her
weary black eyes to his once more, and
tried hard to road If there was nny help
or any hope nt nil in them. But she
did not spoik. The mm nrose, went
donn to the bank, dr.iklc n cupful of
water, came bick and began to read atul
exhort and explain nnd endeavor to
proselyte once more. And so Ibis
strange man kept on till the day was
spent.
No one had spoken save himself. No
one bad tinted food. Rome of tho chil
dren bad slept, their heads lis their
weary mothers' laps, as they sat Id circle
and listened nnd listened in silence, that
long, long dy, under the vast bine sky,
by the dark nnd desolate lake of death.
And now mark! When that man va-
doce reading and the snn was going
down, there was not a weary and over
come niau or woman there who was net
awed or terrified or fascinated iuto some
sort of half belle'!!
Again the man rose up and pleaded
for converts to his singular fnlth. He
stretched his hands over the darkening
lake as the sun went down; bo lifted his
long arms to the montitalus of snow be
yond the young city; he appealed to
nothing low, to nothing bad, but to
much that was noble m man and sub
lime in nature. His lips were dry, bis
eyes were deep aud hollow and wild, but
be kept on till the sun bad fallen behind
the steep bill that rose in on r road before
us. Surely the man was mad. And yet
a typical, ns trne n Mormon elder was
be, as photograph could print. He
mado a last appeal to the weak and now
prostrate girl. Some one of the parly,
wiser than the rest perhaps, beckoned
ber silently to comply.
She put out ber two bands helplessly,
and be led her to the water, the men
with the horses rising in their places nnd
uncovering tbeir heads. Oth en did the
came.
Whether the Mormon missionary Im
provls'd his brief ceremony and action,
or followed the prescribed forms, it Is
not Important to say. But be led ber
back soon to where all stojd waiting, re
spectfnl, silent as before,
The girl setmed a bit lefresbed, hope-
Liv,e and Let Live."

ful. What had bo said to ber? What
would he do now? Hind her over to one
of tho bloody men there ns n bride?
Keep her for himsell? No, mt this lust.
Tuere was not 11 shadow of interest in
her in nny one of the hard aud very deep
lines of that massive and monk-like faoe.
He stopped still a moment nnd pr.iyed.
How new, strange, awful, weird all
this was in the dim twilight by the dark
ening lake of death! Sjim birds llew iu
to cttnp Irom the hills. It was nslrauge
thing, and the first time in a thousand
years, that man had come to pitch tout
in their resting-place.
The moon, round-faced and full, lean
ed out of heaveu nnd looked straight
down, close down, cilia and pitying,
like tho sorrowful face of a uuu at
prayer.
Surely in a scene like this, now at last,
after all this suffering, this suspense
surely, suruly after prayer nud biptism
in the name of the JIos; High God she
would be saved: sived iu body and In
mind; saved in all her purity, nntl peaoa
of mind, nnd love, and sympathy, ond
sad memories of ber dear dend who lay
burled ont yonder in the lake in chains.
Tho horsemen stood waiting orders.
Tbey had not tasted food or woter all
thit lime they waited there iu the gr.is.
These poor, deluded men believed they
were listeuing to the voice of God.
Tney were men who could not read their
names. Never had Mahomet suoh blind,
faithful, devoted following ns these
bloody men hero waiting to do the work
of death.
It is notable that all false religions,
all religions save the one religion of
Christ, have had their corner-stones laid
and cemented down iu blood. Tbey
bare been built up by ignorauco and
maintained in impurity.
The ciaut missionary oame forward tip
the bank, leadini the girl by the ham'.
He was evidently worn "ml weik, but le
was n:i full of mad zeal for his work ns
over before He again appeiled for
proselytes. No one came forward
Then his furrowed brow grew dark and
revengeful.
He beckoned for bis fa towers to get
ronly. Iu a mement more they were
roidy tn spring into thosiddle. In the
meantime he had motlaued to our parly
tn toy in 11 keg of water, rouse up the
resting cattle, yoke them nnd climb the
hijl on our journey to Iho westl Oir
party obeyed this last Injunction with
alacrity. They could hardly conceal
their pleasure. Yet n uicM'a persistent
travel nnd ft day's dreadful anxiety fol
lowing on Us heels are hardly t-alculifcd
to charge any one with a superabund
ance of spirits.
In a little time the cattle were onco
more iu line under the yoke nnd stand
ing with nose lifted to the hill before
them. The horsemen held tlgblly to
their horses, one foot in the stirrup.
The poor horses pawed the ground in
impatience to reach trie water that
ciirgled nnd talked on as it glided lo the
set in the full-faced moon.
Suddenly soma wolves bowled from
the hill a little way tip the stream, nnd
in spite of nil their tranquility the men
were startled a little, nud fell to jerking
and fretting their impatient horses.
They knew what those wolves meant,
It was the stnell of blood from the srece
of murder on this same little stream on y
a few rods away. The memory of it v as
not a pleasaut one to these men, The
wolves were too eloquent entirely. They
annoyed the old missionary nlso, who
still stood there holding the girl's band,
still hoping for oue more convert possi
bly, before these Gentiles should leave
bis presence and pass away in pence.
The wolves redoubled tbeir cries and
came nearer each moment. This seemed
to hasten matters. Tnrniug bis deep,
hollo ejes to the girl, and inclining
bis brad a little for ber answer, be
asked ber if she believed.
The girl hesitated, looked np.drnpped
her dsrk, ssd eyes, looked up ogaiu, aud
again tried to answer.
The suspense was terrible. Every one
Ieineil forward. Thej very stars up iu
heaven stopped tbeir merry twiukle.
Tba mtnii lsaued low aud Urge, nnd
looked wth a patient, sympathizing faoe
down iuto her eistoi a face upon earth
1.00 a
If
Tbo man was angered at her hesitation.
He asked ber again nnd savagely. At
last she whispered, "Yes."
What was our horror to bear blm
calmly, almost bitterly, answer;
"Then God bo praised! You shall die
In the Faith, my wife. And so we shall
meet Bgaiu."

ARVELOUS STORY
TOLD IN TV0 LETTERS.
FROM THE SON .AW&'&r
" OenlUmcn: Jly father resides nt Glover,
Vt. Ho lias been a great sufferer from Scrof
ula, and the Inclosed letter u UI tell you what
& marvelous clfcci
Ayer s Sarsaparilia
has had In his case. I think his blood must
havo contained the liumor for at least ten
5 ears ; but It did not show, except In the form
of a scrofulous soro on tho wrist, until about
Ore years njo. From a few spots which ap
peared at that time, It, gradually spread so as
to cover his cntlro body. I assure you he was
terribly allllcted, and nn object of pity, whon
he began using your mcdiclno. Now, llicro are
few moil of his ago who enjoy as good health
as ho has. 1 could oaslly name Jlfty persons
who would testify to the facts In his case.
Vuurs truly, f. JI. riULLlpo."
FROM THE FATHER: ;&5
a duty for mo to etato to you tho benefit I
hare derived from tho uso of
Ayer s Sarsaparilla.
Six months ago 1 was completely covered with
n terrible humor and scrofulous sores. Tho
humor caused an Incessant and intolerable
Itching, and tho skin cracked so as to cause
tho blood to flow tn many places whenovcr
1 moved. My sufferings wero great, and my
lifo a burden. I commenced the use of the
SansArAntLiA in April last, and hate used
It regularly 6luce that time. My condition
hegau to Improve at once. The sores hare
all healed, nnd 1 feel perfectly well In every
respect being now ablo to do a good day's
work, although 73 years of ago. -Many Inquire
what has wrought such a cure In my case, and
I tell them, as I havo here tried to tell you,
