THROUGH ALL THIS MOTLEY ASSEMBLAGE THREADING HER WAY WITH THE SKILL OF AN ACCOMPLISHED RIDER THERE GALLOPED LUCIFERRIER HER FAIR FACE FLUSHED WITH THE EXERCISE AND HER LONG CHESTNUT HAIR FLOATING OUT BEHIND HER
 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 a larger nature has awoken within her. There are few who cannot 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 enough in itself, apart from its future influence 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 hive they have chosen for their emblem. In the fields and in the streets rose the same hum of human industry. Down the dusty high roads 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 Elect. 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. E 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 AWOKEN WITHIN HER THERE ARE FEW WHO CANNOT 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 ENOUGH IN ITSELF APART FROM ITS FUTURE INFLUENCE 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 HIVE THEY HAVE CHOSEN FOR THEIR EMBLEM IN THE FIELDS AND IN THE STREETS ROSE THE SAME HUM OF HUMAN INDUSTRY DOWN THE DUSTY HIGH ROADS 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 ELELECT 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
