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

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.
