It
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
strode
up
the
pathway
.
"
I
am
off
,
Lucy
,
"
he
said
,
taking
her
two
hands
in
his
,
and
gazing
tenderly
down
into
her
face
;
"
I
wo
n't
ask
you
to
come
with
me
now
,
but
will
you
be
ready
to
come
when
I
am
here
again
?
"
"
And
when
will
that
be
?
"
she
asked
,
blushing
and
laughing
.
"
A
couple
of
months
at
the
outside
.
I
will
come
and
claim
you
then
,
my
darling
.
There
's
no
one
who
can
stand
between
us
.
"
"
And
how
about
father
?
"
she
asked
.
"
He
has
given
his
consent
,
provided
we
get
these
mines
working
all
right
.
I
have
no
fear
on
that
head
.
"
"
Oh
,
well
;
of
course
,
if
you
and
father
have
arranged
it
all
,
there
's
no
more
to
be
said
,
"
she
whispered
,
with
her
cheek
against
his
broad
breast
.
"
Thank
God
!
"
he
said
,
hoarsely
,
stooping
and
kissing
her
.
"
It
is
settled
,
then
.
The
longer
I
stay
,
the
harder
it
will
be
to
go
.
They
are
waiting
for
me
at
the
cañon
.
Good-bye
,
my
own
darling
--
good-bye
.
In
two
months
you
shall
see
me
.
"
He
tore
himself
from
her
as
he
spoke
,
and
,
flinging
himself
upon
his
horse
,
galloped
furiously
away
,
never
even
looking
round
,
as
though
afraid
that
his
resolution
might
fail
him
if
he
took
one
glance
at
what
he
was
leaving
.
She
stood
at
the
gate
,
gazing
after
him
until
he
vanished
from
her
sight
.
Then
she
walked
back
into
the
house
,
the
happiest
girl
in
all
Utah
.
Three
weeks
had
passed
since
Jefferson
Hope
and
his
comrades
had
departed
from
Salt
Lake
City
.
John
Ferrier
's
heart
was
sore
within
him
when
he
thought
of
the
young
man
's
return
,
and
of
the
impending
loss
of
his
adopted
child
.
Yet
her
bright
and
happy
face
reconciled
him
to
the
arrangement
more
than
any
argument
could
have
done
.
He
had
always
determined
,
deep
down
in
his
resolute
heart
,
that
nothing
would
ever
induce
him
to
allow
his
daughter
to
wed
a
Mormon
.
Such
a
marriage
he
regarded
as
no
marriage
at
all
,
but
as
a
shame
and
a
disgrace
.
Whatever
he
might
think
of
the
Mormon
doctrines
,
upon
that
one
point
he
was
inflexible
.
He
had
to
seal
his
mouth
on
the
subject
,
however
,
for
to
express
an
unorthodox
opinion
was
a
dangerous
matter
in
those
days
in
the
Land
of
the
Saints
.
