Aud the girl who had opened iho door for lain, in that pretty plneo where the richest people were not very fash- iormblc, was Mr. Rushton s only dauglrter Fanny herself. “Wlmt 11 pretty little soul!” ho thought. Then, ns she tinned her head, ho wondered for n moment whether soine- body had just slnpped her on the loft cheek,, there was sueli ft singulftr mark there, exactly like the scarlet print of a palm and four lingers. But that murk had been thoro all Funny Rushton's life, and it was her one grief, her perpetual torment. She had grown morbid about it in these early days of womanhood. But there wero no cosmetics and no arts of surgery that could remove it. There the rod mark must bo ns long ■as she breathed, its hateful scarlet at- l trading the 11 rat glance from every i stranger. “ Mr. Rushton at homo?” said Luke j Robbins, with a bow . “ Yes,” said Fanny. Then she ushered Mr. Robbins into I the parlor, and went away ; and in a ' few moments the mill owner sauntered “And they could always live with ns," said papa; “ we need nover part from our only one.” '< Our eyes grow used to everything j after a while. Luko Robbins forgot that there was I any mark on Fanny’s face, unless some* i thing particularly called his attention to j it. : He loved her very much at times, though there wero long hours in which ho never remembered her existence. Twice a week, at least, Luke thought j enough of Fanny to buy her a bouquet, or somo music, and to spond two hours on a dusty railroad for the sake of see ing her. He felt her lovo for him in her very i finger tips; ho saw it in her eyes; he I heard it in her voice. , Ho was a man who is happy in being 1 beloved. Aud it was not old Mr. Rushton’s j money that made him decide to offer . himself to her, despite the red mark. Yes, the next tiino he wont ho would ! ask Fanny to have him for bettor or , worse. And ho knew that she would say : “ Yes.” There aro evil moments in every one’s life—moments that change one’s destiny for the worst. If only it had rained one morning ; if only Fanny had fallen ill; if only sho had not undertaken that trip to tho city just when bIio did, this would bo a difleront story. Sho used ts bo shy of going into the crowded streets alone, and even with her mother wore a thick veil, and felt uncomfortable when any ono lookod at her. Rut now she curod nothing for strangers’ eyes. Somehow her blemished face had found favor in his. She made her little purchases with a light heart. And then she saw Luke Robbins— yes, really Luke himself, coming to meet her. “Looks as if somo ono had slapped Lev in the face,” said a giggling girl’s voice. And ho turned his head. He saw her, aud went to her at once. “Oh, I am so glad to meet you," said Fanny. “ I suppose I ought to start at once." Sho had heard the speech that caused j FARM, GARDEN AND llOUSEUOLD. his answer. And as I10 looked after her ns sho en tered the carriage two tears camo into his oyos. They trickled down upon his cheeks. He wiped them away. Suddenly ho felt that ho loved Fanny Rushton from his .soul—that this cow ardly sort of troublo that tho remarks ■and glances of strangers had caused him would never mnko him ashamed of him self again. “ Fanny, my darling,” he bftid to him self, “Fanny, my love, your faco is dearer to mo for its blemish, aud you shall know it boforo I Bleep. You should, wero you a beggar. I’ll hido it from the world’s colcHeyee on my bosom, darling; and I’ll lovo you all tho more for it." Ho followed after her. Ho walked up the garden path in tho twilight. He asked for Miss Funny. “Sho hasn’t como in yot,” said tho servant. “ They aro bo frightened about her—master and missus—but I toll ’em she’ll turn up all light.” Luke’s heart stood still. A presentiment of evil tilled his mind In tho gathering darkness two anxious meu went forth, hoping against hope. “Sho stopped out on the platform suddenly. Either sho was bewildered, or sho did it on purpose. Wo were going full speed. She had a blue dress and a white hat, and thero’s a rod mark on her face. They’ll know her by that.” That was tho conductor’s story. That was tho story that Luko and Fanny’s mother heard nt last. Did she stop out on purpose or was sho “ bewildered ?’’ God only knows—no living being. Luko tried to believe that what she lmd heard him sav lmd nothing to do with it. But it was too late now to loll her what he felt—too late to hido her sweet faco on his heart. Ho could only stoop over her, ns she lay in her Collin, and press tho last kiss Mulching. Chip dirt, drift hay from tho edges of tho mnrshes and all refuse matter that can be eollectod about a farm, if not used in tho compost heap, makes an ex cellent mulch for orchards. Mulching, says n writer, has all tho benoflts of plowing, with none of its disadvan tages, keeping the surface mollow with no damago to its roots by the plow or to tho trunk or branches by tho team. It keeps down the grass and invites tho earth worm to work and make the soil fine and rich. It tends to retain the moisture for a muoli longer time, and romody in a great measure tho evil ef fects of drought. The fruit which foils upon it is not bruised. It is tho way nature adopts to manure and enrich the forest trees.—New England Farmer. Training Yonug Animals. A proverb says that “ just ns tlic'twig is bent tho tree is inclined," and this may be npplied to the training of colts. They should bo nccustoraed only to tho halter and bridle, they should bo kindly and gently troatod, and not annoyed in any way. Mnny horses have been rendered vicious from having been taught tricks or made to suffqr annoy ance from boys in their onrly days. Colts may bo taught to go or como at tho word of command, lift their foilt and endure tho mimic operation of shooing. of sugar, one tumbler of any kind of bright jelly.
