STEVENS & CO. Dealers in Second Hand Goods CSt. Independence Phone 1421 . , NE summer morning over two centuries ago the grata plot be fore the Jail In Prison I.nne was occupied by many of the Inhabi tants of Boston. The door opened and the town beadle appeared followed by a young woman carrying a baby about three months old. On the breast of her gown, In red cloth, appeared the letter A, and It was that scarlet letter which drew all eyea toward her. The place appointed for her punish ment was not far from the prison door, and In spite of the agony of her heart, Hester Prynne passed with almost a serene deportment to the scaffold where the pillory was set up. and un der the weight of a thousand unre lenting eyes the unhappy prisoner sus tained herself as best a woman might. A small, Intelllscnt appearing man. on the outskirts of the crowd attracted Hester's attention, and he In his turn eyed her till, seeing that she seemed to recognize him, he laid his linger on bis lips. Then", speaking to a townsman he mid, "I pray you, good sir who Is this woman, and wherefore Is she sot up to public shame?" You must needs be a stronger, friend," said the townsman, "else you would have heard of Mistress Hester Prynne. She hath rulsed a soundul In godly Master Dlmmesdale's church. The penulty thereof is tieuth, but the magistracy in their mercy, have doomed her to stand a. space of three hours on the platform of the pillory, and for the remainder of her life to wear a murk of shame In her bosom." "A wise sentence!" remarked the stranger. "It Irks me, nevertheless, that the partner of her Iniquity should not at least stand by her side. But he will be known he will be known I" Itev. Mr. Dlmmesdnle, a young min ister of high native gifts, who had al ready wide eminence In his profes sion, was urged to exhort Hester to re pentance and confession. Addressing her, he advised that she name her fel low sffmer even If He had to step from a high position to stand beside her, for It was better so than to hide a guilty heart through life. Hester shook her head, keeping her place upon the pedestal of shame with an air of weary Indifference. That night her child writhed In con vulsions, and a physician, Mr. Roger Chllllngworth, none other than the stranger Hester had noticed In the crowd, was called. Having eused the baby's pain he turned and said : "Hes ter, I ask not wherefore thou hast fallen Into the pit. It was my folly and thy weakness. What had I a man of thought to do with youth and beauty like thine? I might have known that in my long absence this would happen." "I have greatly wronged thee," mur mured Hester. "We have wronged each other," he answered. "But I shall seek this man whose name thou wilt not reveal, and sooner or later he must be mine. I shall contrive nothing against his life. Let him live. One thing, thou that wast my wife, I ask. Thou hast kept his name secret. Keep likewise, mine. Let thy husband be to tha world as one al ready dead, and breathe not the secret, above all to the man thou wottest of." "I will keep thy secret as I have his." Freed from prison Hester did not (Ice, but eslnlillAhttl herself In I small collage Just outside tlx town, Incur ring no risk of want for she noam-meil the art of needlework which provided food fur herself and child. She had named the Utile one "Pearl," as being of great price, and little Pfarl grew up a lovely child. People wished to take her avvny and tht matter was dis cussed In the mother's presence by Governor nellliighnrn and his guests Iter. John Wilson, Rev. Mr. Dltuniea- dale, and Pr, Chllllngworth. "Cod gave me the child I" cried Hes ter, and turning to the young clergy man, Mr. Plnmieadale, she exclulmed, "Speak thou for me. Thou wast my pastor. Thou knoweat what is in my heart ami what are a mother s rights. ind how much the stronger they are when that mother has but her child and the scarlet letter I I will not loose the child ! Look to It 1" "There la truth In what she says," begun the minister. "There la a qual ity of awful sacrednesa between thla mother and this child. It ta good fr thin poor ttlnful woman that she hath an Infant coirtlded to her care to be trained by her to righteousness. Let us leave them as providence hath seen fit to place them I" You speak, my friend, with a strange enrnestness," said Roger Chll- Ingworth, smiling at him. He hath adduced such arguments that we will leave the matter as It stands," said the governor. The af fair helug so satisfactorily concluded, Heater and Pearl departed. Rev. Mr. DlmmeAdale'i health fati ng he consulted ur. cniiiingworta. Taking him as a patient, the doctor de cided to know the man's Inmost nature before tryln to heal him. Arrange ments were made for the two men to lodge together so that he might be con stantly under the doctor's observation. As Doctor Chllllngworth proceeded with his Investigation, begun as he Imagined with the Integrity of a Judge desirous only of truth, a terrible fas cination seised him and Insisted that he do Its bidding. He now dug Into the poor clergyman's heart, like a miner seeking gold ; and Mr. Dlmmes dale grew to look at him with an on accountable horror. Often Mr. Dlmmesdale tried to speak the truth of his past from the pulpit but had cheated h'lmself by confessing his sinfulness In general terms. Once. Indulging Id the mockery if repentance, he mounted the scaffold where Hester had stood. There was no danger of discovery for everyone AOs asleep. Even so he wss surprised oy Hester and Pearl, returning from death bed in the town, and pres ently by Roger Chllllngworth. Who la that manl" gasped Mr. Dlmmesdale, In terror. "I shiver at him, Hester. Canst thou do nothing for met I have a namelesa horror or the man." Remembering, her promise, Hester x-as silent "Worthy sir," said the doctor, ad. vanclng to the platform, "pious Mas ter Dlmmesdale I Can this be you J Come, good sir, I pray you, let me lead you home I You should study less, or ;hese nlght-whlmsles will grow upon ron," Hester now resolved to do what (he could for the victim whom she saw in her former husband's grip. One .toy Bhe met the old doctor In the woods seeking herbs and Implored him ;o be merciful, saying that she must jow reveal the secret of their former relationship no matter what befell. A week later Hester awaited the :lergyman In the forest and told him ibout Roger Chllllngworth and their relationship, bidding him hope for a new life beyond the sea In some rural village. "Tbou Shalt not go alone," she whis pered, Arthur Dlmmesdale attuinea tne roudest eminence a New England clergyman could reach, Me mm preached the election sermon on the holiday celebrating the election of a new governor. Hester bad taken berths to Eng and. and on the holiday the shipmas ter Informed her that Roger Chllllng worth had booked pussage on the surae vessel; saying nothing, she turned and stood by the pillory with Pearl. The minister, surrounded by leading townsmen, halted at the scaffold and railing Hester and Pearl to blm mount ed the scaffold steps. Telling Hester lie was a dying man and must hasten to assume his shame, he turned to the market-place and spoke with a voice I hat all could hear, "People o New England 1 At last, at last I stand where seven years since I should have stood. Lo, the scarlet let ter which Hester wears I Ye have all shuddered at It I But there stood one In the midst of you, at whose brand of sin ye have not shuddered." With a convulsive motion he tore away the ministerial gown from his breast. It was reveuledl Then sink ing down on tjie scaffold he died, bis head resting on iiester s oosom. Afterwards, conflicting accounts arose about the scene on the scaffold. Many testified to seeing a scarlet let ter on the minister's bosom, while oth ers denied It, saying that Dlmmesdale's confession Implied no part of Hester's guilt. Roger Chllllngworth died, bequeath ing his property to Pearl, Iiester and Pearl lived In England tor years, then, Pearl marrying, Hester returned alone to1 the little dwelling by the forest.
