There w.s earnestness that was al most solemnity in the young man's face as be came forward, and his words were scarcely lover like, though thny .made Edna's heart throb with agitation. 'Will you grant me an interview in your private parlor, Mr. Iiussell?' he said, 'and will you, Miss Edna, join tie ? I wish to speak to you "before I leave for Saratoga.' Wandering. Edna obeyed, loaning upon her uncle's ami," but upon Mr. Russell's face there was a strange, ten- dor imile, as if be Was scarcely sur prised at the summons. Unce seated in the small, private parlor, Stephen Bascomb in mainly, straightforward wards told his love story, but kept his eyes resolutely from Edna's face, asking no answer In his confession. 'I should do wrong to ask fur a re turn of love,' he said steadily, 'unless I told you exactly how I am situated. The world believes me a rich man. I know myself a pauper.

At Key West, where the runaway couplo were bid ing for three months, they were found at bist by the undo s father, who tooH her home and obtained a legal separa turn upon the grounds that both bride and croom were under age: . 'Still my uncle hovered about the houso. and saw his wife, as ho still considered her often, but secretly, un til after bis child, a girl was born. Then the father carried both mother and child to Europe, leaving my uncle in icuorance of their departure. For ve.ira La vainlv tried to fiud some clue to his wife's whereabouts, and bis own conviction of her faithful love, his own adherence to the perfect le gality of hia marriage kept him from ever taking auother woman into nis heart or his home. And he loved me dearly, and trusted mo implicitly. So by hi3 will ho has left me bis heir, while, by a letter of 'trust ho charges ma to aeek his wife aud child, and if I .find them, transfer the property to which they are entitled to them.' .

Commcnc ing at the roots of the hair, just over the left temple, it rati down across tho face to the right-hand corner of ihe mouth. The fjesh had closed together in a great ridge, and the nose seemed to have been kliortened half nn inch by the process of healing. The man with the scar sang two or three songs, and then passed his hat around for pennies. "Did a blow of ah Injun a tomahawk do that?' he repeated. "No, sir; I g6t cut down In Old Virginia during the war, bout the time it looked as if J oil Davis was the biggest patriot in the. country." "You were in the cavalry?" "Yon bet I was! I smashed up so many horses that I was owing the Con federate government $400,000 when it collapsed. If she hadn't collapsed? I'd been forced iuto bankruptcy." He chuckled, and raised his bat so as to reveal the scar in all its bideous ne?3, and continued : UI don't believe a tomahawk coulil leave a scar like this. It takes a good sharp sabre to spoil a man's face so that ho daren't look in the glass or have bis photograph taken. A Yank slashed me, of course but who do you suppose it was? You couldn't guee to save your neck, and so I'll tell yon it was Custer, that tong-baircd, dare devil Yankee general, who used to ride 1 around with blood in his eyes and an extra sabre between his teeth. He thought he'd done for me when he gave me this lick, but he didn't kuw our family." "How Ya3 it?" "It was dowu at Travillian Station, lie was riding around with a lot of cavalry, and our folks got him- in a box. Somehow we got around him em all sides, and we had cavalry, infantry and artillery. We wero two to one, had him fairly coopered, and by all decent rules of warfare he ought to have hung out tho white flag, handed over his sabre aud politely said : 'Boys, you've got the grape-vino twist on rue, and 1 cave. We expected it ; but, blast him ! he didn't do any such thing. No, sir. lie massed his troopers, gavo 'em to uuderstand it was 'hell or home,' and tho whole caooodle ol em come from a dozen hills; our infantry fusi- laded em good and strong, and our troopers gut the word to charge. Durn my buttons, but wasn t it a hot fight? We were all mixed, bullets flyiug, sabres hacking, men yellicg. horses neighing, everybody shautiug. and it was the devil's danco all around! I heard a Yank shouting orders as if he was somo big gun or other, and I worked up to him through the smoke. It was Custer. I had seen him before, and I knew what a fighter he was. I pushed right up to him, gavo my old sabre a twist and a cut, aud oil' went his head !" Ho looked up with a wicker1 twinklt in his eyes, and added : In a horn I I roso in ray stirrups, and struck at him with force euough to cut clean down to the saddle, but he parried the blow, leaned over, I saw a Hash, and the next thing I knew I bad been in the hospital fur two weeks. and the surgeons we.'e trying to look into my boots through the sabru cut across my face. I was a whole year getting over it, and then 1 looked eo handsome that I was turned over to the honie'guards for ihe rest of the war. Sometimes I feel like suicide, and ag'in I don't care. I didn't bear no grudge ag'in Custer for the tlash, but he might just as well put his cheese knifi through me as to give me this 'X hia mark' to lug around.
