The evil minded make it exceedingly an

l assume the suspicion that the men who
are marked are, on an average, very much
above the men who did the marking
though for time they may have been
beneath them.
Take my own case. In long and IN
eventful life l have suffered all manner of
abuse, but there is no affection of the flesh
nor wound of the sensibiilties that works as
complete an humiliation as patched nose
BY dnt of hard luck l ran askew with
the cook in the kitchen, and as finale for
fooling with the scullery artist, was forcsd
to wear plaster on the upper end of my
beak. The patch was no wider than an
eighth OF an inch and about four times as
long. There was nothiug 10 il to call forth
remark from any one, and after looking
it over in the glass prided myself that 1T
was neat Job.
To compensate for any defect which this
slight blemish may have cast upon my
features, was more punctillious with my

tasteful remark. ''Who did it.'' ''Some
scrape, ehln and all such interrogations
and EXPLANATIONS were heaped upon me.
Women, who on other occasions, VINO have

through the corner Of their eyes. L could
not answer these, but tried to put OF the
men by some such trite remark as, "You

ordeal was again renewed on the second
day it taxed my patience not little.
knew it would not do to lose my temper
and loose my tongue on these ill-mannered
people, so passed the remark by forced
smile that could not but have made me
look cynical and silly.
BY the third day removed the plaster
which left black scab, SO small that
thought people would not notice it
To my sorrow the ruffians were more rude
than ever and tested me to the quick. Men
like Colonel Lett, who have Objectionable
protuberances of their own, joined the
rest in making fun of my misfortune.
If evolution is the the outcome of natural
desire there is no telling but that some day
Katisha's shoulder blade may show an out
cropping of feathers and that his children's
children may be real cupids. Think of oul
arched dome becoming the realization of the
poets dream with cupids floating in the
azure blue and the human form divine

angelic missions, ministering the sweet in

thud of earthly care.
