HIS X MARK.
BY EUi F. MOBBY.
Now of all the distinctions of man.
The highest is his Infinite power of amend
ment, or reputation, or recovery, oi im
provement." CHAPTER I.
I never liked Leigh Page. Ills life
was of all others the most distasteful
to roe an utterly aimless, drifting ex
istence, without strong desire, either
for good or evil.
Tin had talents rertainlr. a keen
wit and subtile analysis but he used!
them only for caricature and burlesque.
His very tone had a drawl, and his
face a latent sneer. But his friends
(who were few) said ha was capable
of kind and generous acts, and the
Goulricts (his. half-sister's family)
seemed absolutely devoted to him.
Curtis Kolles, my young adjutant,
would have disliked him less but for
(his. Like him, he never could, be
cause theie was an inborn lack of con
geniality between tho two; Leigh,
blase and indifferent, and Curtis, pas
sionate, shy, thoroughly in , earnest.
and full of intense vitality, liut be
was engaged to Rachel Goulrick,
(George Goulrick's youngest sister,)
and her admiration for .Leigh Page,
and gratification for his kindness to
her trother's family, almost drove
Curtis wild with jealousy, although he
tried to, and I believe did, conceal it
from her. . '
But I knew a crisis was imminent
when I heard her reprove her lover
indignantly for uttering a rather severe
criticism upon Leigh Page's idle life
in her presence. "No one shall speak
before m against him V she said, tx
ciledly, and the quick tears stood in
her dark-blue eyea, "when he baa been
the kindest, truest friend my brother
ever had. We might be beggars now
but for him I" i ;
Curtis Rolles did not eply, bnt I
saw him bito his lip and clench bis
hand as if with sudden pain, and I
knew his passion was at fever-heat.
He had offered at the time of
George's failure to do all which Leigh
had done, and he suspected the latter
of making capital of his kindness to
the brother in order to influence the
sister.
So when I entered the mus room
that night, and found Leigh Page ex
hibitiug to a crowd of amused com
panions some clever caricatures on
Curtis Rolles, and they hit fairly
enough, poor fellow, for Curtis was too
earnest not to be . vulnerable I felt
uueasy.
At last I said to Leigh Pace "My
good fellow! you had better put these
things aside. -Curtis will beneresooo,
and this sort of thing won't do. One
has a prejudice against a joke on one's
self, you know.
i , Leigh Page cave me a defiant stare
out of his lazy blue eyes, and threw
the drawings diwn on the table, tn lull
view of the group 'now entering the
door. Curtis Rolles was one.
"What's this?" naked Burton An
drews, sauntering up to the table. "It's
a mighty clever thing 1 Why, Curtis,
it is you to the lile, my boy J
Curtis Rolles looked at it in silence,
and his boyish features began to grow
curiously stern ; but the very force of
passion kept him outwardly quiet.
"You meant these as insulting to
me, Mr. Page?" he asked.
"If you find the truth an insult, Mr.
Rolles, replied Leigh, with a cool,
sneering lrug'a. "Your friends recog
nize the resemblance." .,
A fierce blow in the face felled him
to the earth ; auothcr and another fell
with blind, passionate power, until the
men separated them by force; but
Leigh Page had had no opportunity to
retaliate, and we knew the affair would
not end there, lue first stroke half
stunned him, and wheu he left the
room, bruised, scarred, and bleeding,
not even his mother would have recog
nized his face.
But in a few days he had recovered
Biiftieiently to go out, and it was sus
pected that a challenge had been sent.
Thursday evening he was among the
officers on the parade ground, though
there was an ugly red scar on his brow.
Curtis Kolles was also there, of course,
but uo sign of recognition passed be
tween him and Leigh Page, or his
friends.
There was a large crowd of specta
tors present, and among them, Rachel
Goulrick. She was a light-hearted,
impulsive girl, almost as quick with a
jest as with the flash of temper which
marked her displeasure. This even
she looked pale and downcast. I was
standing near her wheu two men be
gan discussiug the chances of a duel.
They seemed to thing there was no
doubt of it.
"Oh, dear! aud will no nian try to
stop them?" ahe exclaimed, 'in low,
passionate tones'; and then, bofore I
quite understood the -situation, the
whole crowd, about to disperse, were
anestej by seeing her slight girlish

figure rush into the square where Leigh
Page was standing.
Curtis Rolles tried to stop her, but
she waved him back with an imperious
gesture that would not be gainsaid.
Leigh Page did not see her; he was
talking to another officer, when he
heard her voice, tremulous, vibrating
with intense emotion, as she knelt on
the earth before him. - H
"Since Curtis Rolles will not ask
your pardon, I, his betrothed, on whose
heart this failure and shame lies heav
ily. I ask it on my knees. And," . as
she lifted her hands to heaven, as if
to call it as witness to here words, "I
will never marry him until ho makes
reparation for the blow.
Leigh rage caught her hand in botn
of his.
"I recall my challenge." He turn
ed to Curtis Rolles, and said, in a clear,
ringing voice, "and I apologize for my
rudeness before. Gentlemen I" he said
to the officers standing by, . "I do not
need to prove my courage now?"
. 1 here was the scar ol a sabre-cut
across his hand, which was visible as
he turned aside from the kneeling cm,
and the spectators uttered a shout of
applause. No man indeed: doubted
Leigh 1 age s bravery.
I hen Kaehel s brother came tor-
ward, and she went with him. but not
until some earnest, graceful - words of
praise from Leigh Page had brought
tears to her eyes. They streamed
down her cheeks as sha .lowered her
veil and moved away, without a word,
to Curtis Rolles.
The young fellow looked cnt to the
soul. He had refused to acknowledge
Leigh Page's words to him by the
slightest signs ; he did move 'once as
ho spoke to Rachel the last time, but
except for that, it might have been a
marble statue standing there. 1 he ex
pression in his face was one that 6hak
sneare had painted with' one line of
matchless pathos in his " Cymbdine.
Past hope and In despair ; that way past
And I did not know how such a rup
ture, between two natures so tenacious
and persistent, could be healed.
CHAPTER II.
Leigh Paze and Rachel
Goulrick
had been together for an hour in the
garden. It was now twilight iti the
old, dark town of St. Augustine, and
the early moon glimmered ou the
southern waters, and fell, shivered in
to a thousand fragments, through the
palmetto leaves on the ground un Jer
neath. Large white moths floated
dreamily in aerial circles .over its fra
grant blossoms and tho mooul it orange
boughs.
The voice of the speaker seemed
eager and tremulous as he spoke of his
love for the young girl by him, whose
dark eyes drooped under his own. He
tCld ber that she was like a new and
pure life to him, aud that for her sake
he could overlive his wortuiess and
aimless past. ' "' ;
. "But I do not love you," she said,
softly, "except as a 'dear friend. I love
Curtis Rolles. Overlive your past for
a nobler sake than mine. ,
He was about to speak figaiu, when
the sound of music broke upon the
air. It was some one playing the love
ly Haydn Sonata of Beethoven. The
melody seemed to float into the moon
light and shadow, and infuse them with
a strange passion and pain. An infinite
sweetness of desire thrilled through,
while long, sorrowful, sighing notes
trembled in the exquisite andante
movement. It was as if a soal on the
confines of eternity spoke to the souls
behind in unearthly entreaty aud ten
derness.
As it died away.Leigh Page answer
ed, with a pew tone : "Then make your
lover happy. Do not let me loci that
I have blighted your two lives; and,
indeed, I was to blame for the for the
first provocation. There is no repa-
tion due to me now.. Do not think of
me, but forgive him, and make him
happy."
tehe turned a lace glowing with en
thusiasm toward him. "I know my
judgment of you was truest" You
are very generous, but 1 must be loyal
to my sense of right as to my lover;
and my vow is between my soul and
Heaven. You cannot lessen its force."
He took her trembling hand in his,
and kissed it with a reverential ten
derness. "I wish that you could have loved
me," he said. "I wish I could have
made you happy. No one eould love
you more."
And he went away. Three months
had gone by. aud still Rachel Gout
rick aud Curtis Rolles were estranged.
Leigh Page was ill in the old Strega
rai house, a mile from town ; and as
vet there hail beeu uo further sign of
reconciliation between the two men,
although it was understood that Leigh
Page would accept any advances for
Kaehel boa trick a sake.
J4ut Curtis Rolles was proud, (as
such a keenly-sensitive and fiery na
ture only could be,) anil I thought he
would rather die tliau yield.
iUtXttn.

He came into my room late one
night. His eyes had a heavy look
about them, and his mouth wore a list
less, tried expression, as different- as
pocsiblo from the bright, merry smile
of four months ago.
"I thought Rachel Goulrick's con
scientiousness was morbid ; it seemed
cruel and wicked to sacrifice a young
life indeed, the happiness of two lives
to a mere scuple ; and I said so very
strongly. .
He fired np at once, and, to my Surprise-,
defended her.
blie is right I and I am not such n
brute yet as even to wish to change her,
or lower her to my level for viy plea-
sure, i Know wnai sne says is true,
and my whole soul revolts from it. I
enn't give up, and I am not worthy' of
her!"
"You look tired," I said, pityingly,
as the flush laded, and he leaned back
exhausted.
"Yes," he answered, "I am glad of
it. It 1 could only chill my own
thoughts always by fatigue I might be
happier. ' Colonel, if you will let me,
I will sleep here to-night." ,, .
I agreed readily, for I did not . feel
easy about the boy; such a stale of
misery was the very worst for soul or
body.
We were awakened at half-past
three by a dull, roaring sound in our
ears, and as I sprang up hastily, I saw
the whole horizon crimson with a belt
of flames.
"It is on the Stregaras road 1" I ex
claimed, as I looked out.
Curtis did not answer, but I saw by
the flash in his eyes and the sudden
compression of his lips that he remem
bered Leigh Page. ,. '
I did not ask what he was going to
do. I did not t'oubt him more than
my own life.
We dressed hurriedly, sprang on
onr horses, aud were ot. the road in
less time than it takes to write these
few lines.
: The bla'zo aud clouds of smoke were
awful to the right of us. We eould
hear the forest trees crack and fall
one by one with a crash, as we rode
Presently we Beared the burning, re
gion, and our horses began to be restive
and to shy trora the smoking brands.
We got down, and tied them near a
pool of water, which had already been
burned for some distauce around.
. ' Then we hastened on, still without a
word, to the old house. It was still
standing, though the smoke, was blown
iu such volumes between lis, that 'we
could just see it occasionally, as a gust
of wind cleared away the thick cloud
for a few minutes and it rolled back
again. . i
"I am not too late!" 1 tried Curtis
and his eyes flashed with exultation
There were some men standing on
the lawn, and they tried to stop him
"You cannot save turn ; the room is
too far back. It is at the peril of your
lile, they shouted ; Dtu lie had already
gone.
1 followed, but he was so far. abend
that when I reached the upper stair
case, I met him with the insensible
form of Leigh Page in his arsm.
A brand from the falling door had
struck him as he came out, and left
burned and bleeding wound on his
forehead, but he looked as if new
life were bounding in every vein and
fiber.
His example animated the lookers
on to new ellbrU. and at last the fire
was suppressed.
Leigh Page recovered, and afler
wards went to a uew station in .the far
West, where he did his country noble
and true service. I never saw him af
ter he left St. Augustine.
Curtis Rolles and Rachel Goulrick
were married. Curtis always had
zigzag sear on his brow, which, by
curious coincidence, was iu the sain
place that he had struck his enemy in
the lace; but we, who knew now
came there, never thought that it dis
figured bis open, manly countenauce.
Rachel s eyes were never so lull1
tender, passionate love and -enthusi
asm, nor her voice so lull ot emotion
as when she looked at it, for she be
lieved, with her whole heart, that tl
noblest work of man was to atone and
make reparation for a wrong. This
scar hU x mark, as the old signatures
have it was in her sight the sign and
symbol of the noblest and highest
honor. To-Day.
The common phrase, "I thought I
should kill myself laughiqn-," became
a sad reality with a man iu Massachu
setts last 1 riday morning. He was
engaged iu conversation with his wife
and laughing very heartily, when sud
denly he ssid, "Stop ; yon make me
laugh to much," aud falling to the
floor instantly expired.
A stoical Scotchnrau was addressed
by his sick wif'u : Oh, John I shan't
leave this bed alive." "Please thee
self, Betty, and thee'l please mo,", re
turned John, with equanimity. "I

We observed that Bill Jones and Sarah
Smith seemed very affectionate. She
said it seemed so to her. but having
stuck the end of a, horse blanket in
her eye? she wasn't prepared to make
an affidavit. ' Somehow after that ,jthe
conversation began to grow more and
more interesting, and.-with that lair
young creature s head on our. shoulder
we d have sat out to ride to Vermont
and back without a stop. She was so
artless and innocent; so child-like and
confiding. She. told all about how her

rolling piu hacking against her frsgiio
form and bounding over her. alabaster

Alien came the spelling down, r It
was Brighton against Bungtown, with
the schoolmaster iu favor , of Bung
town. . Such words as Vcatarrlt", "tur
key," "parallel," etc, soon- reduced
the "sides" to a , half dozen, and at
length we were left to sustain the hon
or of Brighton. The . schoolmaster
vas determined that Bungtown should
win, and it did wben we spelled "om

it wasn't right, -and when Brighton
insisted, he o fife red 'to uphold 'Bung
town with the iron poker. i However,
it was an object to be' consoled and
sympathized with by "our girl." , She
positively shed tears of abger and sym
pathy, and she- said there were two. s's
in omnibus of course, one on each side,
and she wasn't positive but there was
oue on the door behind. By and by the
conversation went back to stepmoth

and getting married,' and she .said
she'd be "ours."'. Wo figured tip how
we could keep houso on $3.50 per

the woodbine would trail over: our

all remember. It was a boy's dream.
She dicouraged us when she thought
she coitld marry a daubing clerk, and
her father sat the dog on me, and her

I said, it don't made any. difTercnco
