 Worthy sir" said the doctor ad- vancing to the platform, "pious Mas. ter Dlmmesdalel Can this be you? Come, good sir, pray you, let me lead you homel You should study less, or these night-whimsies will grow upon you"
 Hester now resolved to do what she could for the victim whom she saw In her former husbands grip. One day she met the old doctor In the woods seeking herbs and implored him to be merciful, saying that she must now reveal the secret of their former relationship no matter what befell.
 A week later Hester awaited the clergyman in the forest and told him about Roger Chillingworth and their relationship, bidding him hope for q new life beyond the sea in some rural village.
 "Thou shalt not go alone" she whis- pered.
 Arthur Dimmesdale attained the proudest eminence a New England clergyman could reach. He had preached the election sermon on the holiday celebrating the election of Q new governor.
 Hester had taken berths to Eng land, and on the holiday the shipmas- ter informed her that Roger Chilling worth had booked passage on the same vessel; saying nothing, she turned and stood by the pillory with Pearl.
 The minister, surrounded by leading townsmen, halted at the scaffold and calling Hester and Pearl to him mount ed the scaffold steps. Telling Hester he was a dying man and must hasten to assume his shame, he turned to the market-place and spoke with a voice that all could hear.
 People of New England At last, at last I stand where seven years since 1 should have stood. Lo, the scarlet let ter which Hester wears Ye have all shuddered at 1t 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 revealed! Then sink ing down on the scaffold he died, his head resting on Hester's bosom.
 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- CTS denied it, saying that Dimmesdale's confession implied no part of Hester'S guilt.
 Roger Chillingworth died, bequeath- ing his property to Pearl.

Freed from prison Hester did not flee, but established herself in small cottage just outside the town, incur | ring no risk of want for she possessed the art of needlework which provided 1 food for herself and child. She had named the little one Pearl" as being of great price, and little Pearl grew up a lovely child. People wished to take her away and the matter was dis eussed in the mothers presence by Governor Bellingham and his guests Rev. John Wilson. Rev. MT. Dimmes- dale, and pr. Chillingworth.
 "God gave me the child !" cried He's ter, and turning to the young clergy man, Mir. Dimmesdale, she exclaimed, Speak thou for me. Thou vast my pastor. Thou knowest what Is in my heart and what are q mothers rights. and how much the stronger they are when that mother has but her child and the scarlet letter. will not loose the child Look to it!"
 "There is truth, in what she says" began the minister. ''There is quail 'ity of awful sacredness between this mother and this child. It Is good for this poor sinful woman that she hath an infant confided to1her care-to be trained by her to righteousness. Let us leave them as providence hath seen it to place them!'
 "You speak, my friend, with a strange earnestness," said Roger Chil- lingworth, smiling at him.
 "He hath adduced such arguments that we will leave the matter as 1t stands" said the governor. The af- fair being so satisfactorily concluded, Hester and Pearl departed.
 Rev. Mir. Dimmesdale's health fail ing he consulted pr. Chillingworth. Taking him as patient, the doctor de- cided to know the mans inmost nature before trying to heal him. Arrange ments were made for the two men to lodge together so that he might be con- Stantly under the doctors observation.
 As Doctor Chillingworth proceeded with his investigation, begun as he imagined with the integrity of judge desirous only of truth, a terrible fas- cination seized him and insisted that he do its bidding. He now dug into the poor clergyman's heart, like a miner seeking gold; and MT. Dimmes- dale grew to look at him with an un accountable horror.
 Often Mir. Dimmesdale tried to speak the truth of his past from the pulpit but had cheated himself by eonfessing his sinfulness in general terms. Once. indulging in the mockery of repentance, he mounted the scaffold where Hester had stood. There was no danger of discovery for everyone was asleep. Even so he was surprised by Hester and Pearl, returning from a death bed in the town, and pres ently by Roger Chillingworth.
 Who is that man?" gasped MT. Dimmesdale, in terror. q. shiver- at

NE summer morning over two centuries ago the grass plot be- fore the jail in Prison Lane was occupied by many of the inhabi- tants of Boston. The door opened and the town beadie appeared followed by young woman carrying a baby about three months old. On the breast of her gown, in red cloth, appeared the letter A, and 1t was that scarlet letter which drew all eyes 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 department 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 intelligent 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 finger on his lips.
 Then, speaking to a townsman he said, T pray you, good sir who is this woman, and wherefore is she set up to public shame?"
 You must needs be a stranger, friend" said the townsman, "else you would have heard of Mistress Hester Prynne. She hath raised a scandal in godly Master Dimmesdale's church. The penalty thereof is death, 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 mark 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!''
 Rev. MT. Dimmesdale, a young min- 1ster 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 sinner even if he had to step from d htSh pOSllAOll lO SIdnu D6SluG 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 physician, MT. Roger Chillingworth, none other than the stranger Hester had noticed in the crowd, was called. Having eased the baby's pain he turned and said: "Hes- ter, l ask not wherefore thou hast fallen into the pit. It was my folly and thy weakness. What had Ia man of thought-to do with youth and beauty like thine? I might have known that in my long absence this would happen"
 T have greatly wronged thee," mur- mured Hester.
 "We have wronged each other" he answered. "But 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 vast my wife, l ask. Thou hast kept his name secret. Keep likewise mine. Let thy husband be to the world as one al- ready dead, and breathe not the secret, above all to the man thou wottest off
 T will keep thy secret as have his."

Agreement reached between the
manufacturers of print paper and the
Department of Justice has been
worse than useless" Senator Walsh,
Democrat, of Massachusetts,, today
declared at the hearing OF the Sem
ate subcommittee considering the
print paper situation.
Marx Hyman. OF New York. special
prosecutor for the Department Of
Justice, who handled the print paper
cases. said the agreement entered into
before the court was satisfactory TO
the publishers and the manufac-
turers."
who suggested the clause in the
agreement which made II possible for
the print paper manufacturers and
the purchasers to enter Into a sepa-
rate agreement at any timer" Walsh
asked.
Il believe Il was John Il. STAINS
held, representing the manufacturers"
Hyman declared.
THE manufacturers who were par
ties to this agreement have forced
the papers to make separate agree
ments and the agreement therefore Is
worse than useless, Walsh continued.
The agreement is but another confes-
sion of the inability of the Govern
ment TO control profiteering and
prices"
do you know the agreement has
been disregarded to- the extent that
the manufacturers who were parties
to IL have reduced consumption in
many cases" Walsh said. "lf they
had held production to the point pro-
vided for in the agreement the print
paper shortage of today would not
