THE RED MARK
? .?t??W ?u?
"la this Rushtori'a
It was a handsome young man who
asked this question?a stylish fellow,
with plenty of liirht whiskers, artd tho
I.itest style id* tie and collar. Aud the
girl who had opendd the door for hint,
in that pretty country place wltcre tho
richest people Were not very fashionable,
was not a servant, but a young lady ?
Mr. Bushton's only daughter hefsdlf.
"What a preffy Iittlo soul !" Itc
t bought.
Then, as she turned her head, he
wondered for a moment -whuther some
body had just slapped her on tho left
cheek, there was such a singular mark
there, exactly liko the Bcarlct priut of a
palua and four fingers. '
Bat that mark had been there all
Fanny Bushton's life, and it was hor
one grief, her p rpetual tvasu aud tor
ment, she had grown morbid about it* in
these early days of womanhood, and
would willingly have been flayed alive
to be rid of it. Hut there were no
COUiosticS a.id no arts of?urgory that
bould remove it. (
There the red slap must bo as long as
she breached, its batofui scarlet uttraco
ing the first glance from every stranger
"Mr. llushtqn at home r"' said Luke
Ixobbins, with a boW.Wf w JU..
"Yes " said Funny.
Then she ushered Mr. ltobbins into
the parlor, aud went away ; aud in n
iew moments tho mill owner sauntered
in.
i It was a business call,' though made
not exaetly in a busjilcss-like way.;?
There had been pome/delay of a traiu,
and the factory was closed wheu Mr.
Bobbins reached Mill Hollow; but
those few words ubout woolen Bluffs were
easily ?nid, and the confidential elerk of
tho New York linn of Kiuk & Ilawley
knew th?st the manufacturer was a mau |
of etriet integrity. The business Was
easily completed, aud then Luke Uob
J iias r ose to depart^ " *
"But you are out of your reckoning
by this delay," said the old gentleman,
"and the hotel a long way off, and I
j should be pleased to h live you stay over
! night with us. The wife has one or two
j spare bedrooms, and supper will be
i ready in fifteen miuutca. Let us have
the pleasure of your company."
' "Thanks," said Luke Bobbins "You
are very kind. ' I feel tempted.''
Then he thought of tbc pretty ftfee
with the red slap upon the cheek. 1>uj
pile that .slap, he wanted to see it again.
Xt sat opposite to him ut supper timo.
"The bust and kindest face in the
world," he said to himself a dozen -i/nea
Aud he did his best to win a little chat
hum- the s*hy girl, who could not forgot
her tormenting mark until they sat in
i be twilight on the piazza afterwards.-^
Then he discovered that she could talk.
As it grew dark, and the Crickets chir
ruped iu the hedges, sho grew merrier
aud merrier." '' *? it f f, ) ? <? j*
Mrs. Rushton had a call from some
neighbor, and sat apVtt'conversing*
Mr. Bushton, aftbrTmVny iuriitiblc at
tempts to rouse himself, went soundly to
sleep. ; |> j m
Through tho evening: shadows Luke
saw tho girl's finely cut profile and ex
quisitely shaped head; and the moon
turned all to black aud white soon, and
blotted out the rod mark. And he eat
as close to her as ho dared. And her
robin sweet voico charmed him; and
what she said waa bright mid fiejh, aud
he fell in love, as uieu do, for au hour.
Men actddlly do fall iu dove for. am
hour. Women 'cannot/ elcthat. They
pretend to be fascinated very often, but
it is real or m tl:1ng With' them at heart.
Boor little Fauoy gave away her'
heart thai night in one whole lump, it
is always best 'to keep a little piece, it

"Oh, what a beauti'ul night!" said
Fanny, as she stood ou the porch with
her mother., .after ttyc gentlemen had
retired.' "Bitch a?fiirc brafeze, aud sdeh
a bright moon." . , ?
"The inuxjuitos do bite sr> dreadfully

Fanny went to bed to dream of Para
dise; Shd the next day was all happy in
memory of a parting pressure of tho
hand, and a whispered hope that they
might often meet again.

"What a pity that mark is, thought
ytm?g llobbius. "Sho's n darling littl?
tiling. Ajld I suppose that Rush ton "is
a very rich ujan. A youug man might
do worse than bo his eon-iu- law." Then
as the car whirled him away, he Baid to
himself. "What a pity that mark is."
Nevertheless ho went dowu to Mill
Hollow very often after that, and ho
was with Fnuuy most of tho timo. Fan
ny's mother felt that though this suitor
was not richg be was tligibh? > und she
kuew that th'at redH?rk >was a disad
vnntago to her Fanny. Fanny's father
was an honest, kindly old mau, who did
love his daughter dearly.
. Alone together the old people spoke of
the probabilities*
"He certainly means something," the
inothor said.
"And they*VouMif altfays live Wich tft,"
said papa : "wc never could part from
our only one."
Our eyes grow u.-ed to everything af
ter a whi'c. Luke Robbiu's forgot that
there was any' mark On "Fanny's face/
uulcss something particularly culled his
attention to it. At Mill Hol low they
knew Miss Rushton, and .io one stared
at the sweet bluiutidied face.
Ho loved her very much at times,
though there were long hours in which
he never remembered her existence. I
.-suppose none of ua ever quite believe
that the men wo are fondest of work us
into their bargaining and ledger keep
ing, as we work them into our scWiug
and preserving. If ho only thinks of
you after dark, you area happy woman.
If he takes your memory out with his
dress coal and evening tfc, consider
yourself blessed.
Twice a week, at least, Luke thought
enough of Fanny to buy her a boo, net,
or Home musio, and to spend two hours
ou a dusty railroad for tho sake of see
ing her.
He felt her love for him in her very
Quger tips; he saw it in hor eyes; he
heard it in her voice. Ho was a mau
.who is hiioyy,in beixig behead... A^Jm
was not old Mr Riiehton's money that
made him decide to oiler himself to her,
despite ihn red m.irk.
Vus, tho' next time he wont to 31 i 11
Hollow h* would ask Fanny to have
him for better or for worse, ^ud he
kucw that she would say "yes" very
well.
There are evil moments iu every one's

if only she had not undertaken that
trip to tho ueighboriug city, jus.t when
she did, this would have been a differ

Sh_e used to B? shy of going into the
crowded streets alone, and even when
with her un'ther wore a thick veil, and
felt uncomfortable when any one looked

She made her liltlo purchases with a

saw Luko Rpbbins?yes, really Luke
himself coming to mcot her !

He saw people stare at hor us they
passed dowu. . the room. Putt of the
staring was at i the mark; part of it at
the pretty "jfilpj and figure. Hu laid it
all to tho marky an she had ail her life.
It made hi u uncomfortable. But that

it could not have affected him ; but Iiis

in heurt, thai was-ditfereut. He grew
very grave. It was a terrible blemish.

country, he h;:d forgottou all about it,

At lllc ferry there was a crowd. Luke
had passed Fanny in first, a.-.d stopped
to pay the faro. ,
"Two," said he.
"Tho old lady," asked tho '.man.
"No," said Luke. k
"Oh, that ouo with a red acar on her

"All right." |.
"Confound you !" said Luke in a

They crossed the ferry toMther, and
he spoke uo word to her, nor b?c to him.
Ho handed her into the cartjff Then ho

"Good bye, until wo mcctf," he said,
and stopped to tho platform.
There stood one of those white beard

always members of clubs, who; arc always
fast to a certain degroc, amir who effect

that is insulting to every wpinan, siuoe

"Ah, how de do ?" Said this old gentle

Something rustled at his elbow.

' She beard me," said Luke to him

And as he looked after the flying car,
two little tears came into htsoyes. They
trickled doWu upon his cheeks ; he wiped
them away. Suddenly be felt that he
loved Fanny Ilusllton from bis soul ?
i that this cowardly sort of trouble that
the remarks aud glances of strangers
had caused him would never make him
ashamed of himself again.
"Fanny, my darling," be said to him
self. ' Fanny, my deare.-t love, your

Singular Mormon Story.
Tho Hornau'* F/.rp&xUcr. a Mormon
journal has been publishing articles in
favor of polygamy, and giving instances
of happiness iu the plural marriage
state. As an offset to t'bmC of the itories,
tho Salt Lake Tribune tells the following
which is vouched for as strictly true:
A few years ago there lived in tho
town of Spanish Fork a man who was
blessed with a loving companion. She
wan Che wife of his early years, kind,
loving and affection ate. She fairly
idolized her husband, his love for her
being equal. They lived only as those
do who love each other with true uffec
tiou. But the Elders were continually
advising the husbia 1 to take anoth-r
wife, telling him it was the only true
road to salvation. ..
' But," said ho, 'my poor wife will go
crazy. She could never be satisfied with
that State of life."
"What!" said the bishop, "do you
pretend to bo govurued by your wife'(
Ave you going to lojC salvation that you
may please your wife? It was damned
foolery like that that played the devil
with man iu the first place ; for pleasing
a woman Ad \n\ was driven out of the
garden of Buen and, like him, you, to
pleaso your wife, would throw away
your salvation. Now, I advise you to
take another wife as quick as possible Or
else Iread tho ill will of tho Lord."
Hearing this, the poor fellow was pre
vailed upon to take another wife. Ho
did so, and as he said, Ris poor wife be
came ftarttic. Alter suffering with grief
fur a few months s4io became hopelessly
insane ; their her love turned to the utost
deadly hatred. ? She was continually
swearing vengeance against her husband
In ?hc. course id'timc her husband died,
atid his funeral prouessiou passing her
door, she ran out, and, following the
hearse, threw stoncS'at it the whole way
to the grave, cursing the dead man as
the pause of all her trouble In a fow
mouths, she herself passed n?vay.
The Tribune adds: "Now let the
reflective aud holtest Mormon susrer
what was it that poor distracted jtirsed
and stoned because of her blighted life ?
Was it uut polygamy t '
