MONK'S MARK.

By Wai? Wandeb.

The sun drooped hotly still toward the western horison in a great sea of the moat brilliants hues, where, heie and there, toft, white clouds floated like iclauds outlined in fir*. The Mangeo Range caught the glory of &11 this burning west on every r°ok and tree of it* face, and became, as it were, one v»Bfc blize of warmth and beauty. In the volley where Rj land's factory stood, neitr the gleaming creek, the rolling volume* of smoke that pouied from the tall chimney* mere tinged witk red si they wenb up toward heaven, and every tree and bush along the green sides o( the crrck glowed in the glory of sumet. On a rod that wound along the sides of Mangeo, two men stood and looked down upon tfaia vMlty. Th*y looked bob and tired, and two poor «w«g* lay on th« graiii Rt fchtir feet. The attiro of both was shabby in the txtrtmt, and their very booti io broken na to exhibit; partially the feet they vainly triad to protect. Of theie two men, the elder wai nearer fiUy than forty — a middle-lined, largely- built man with hard Natures and a cold, grey eye. Tat bwurd around » sneeriag mouth wa> but Ih* growth of a week, and was sprouting fiiioelf, grey and griwled, while hU hat wai drawn ao low over hU «ara that none whatever of bia hair was visible. The joß>g«ij 0B>g«i mam was nob more than twenty-five; was mach tailor than his companion, and of » iiUghter .build. His features were d*cid«dly lndi«atjif» of good birth, his ahort half and ejea 4axk prown. A faintlyindicated mousuohe' al.obe parked the omoothness of hi* facey which $f& » worn «zpreaaion fox one w young in yekw. While hii eyes seamed por»i«tently on the collection of buildings in th<» v»l^y v below, those of hit neighbour often wwsh»d the «zpi*islon of the younger face with Minister ■mil* as he gaskd. Th» lil^lftMiied but a few leconds, when the 'tldff.nui^ at iengkh broke it. - \ ' **f yl ' " Well, what *JM Vonr dtdsion. nvl%«fn ■bjill try a^VOTMKoneitly htnt6mmjt. hav«| thank Qwfi 'om memory y«t to^Mtt me strikißht— )fch«Syptn)aory pf a wldd|pHi* m^hl f> s^Jj-Jlonk; "it's a pIW you «vir>ftWl|R «W you lack with tkU

"I am going to try It," was th* firm reply, as th* speaker stooped to lift his mlmable iwag. " And let me tall you its result. Every heart will be hardened against yon, every door shut in your iface. No soonsr shall i<be known that you h«ro don* a sentence In prison than yon will he treated like * leper, and driven again to tho soolefcy of thoi* to whole level you have reduced younelf— in three month* you will go baok to the place we have come from. Hoaeoty, indeed! A pretty word in the mouth of a coaviot." "Look her*, Monk>" replied the young man, a« he lifted his iwag and tossed it oyer hit ihoulder, "I have refrained from reproaching yon with the fact that Ik is to your teaching I owe the diagraee of my life— the leait you can do U to go your way and let me go mine in peace." He turned to deioead toward the factory, but Monk, with the darkneu of evil in hit eyei, arreited him. 11 Stop I We hate y»t a few words to exchange, Mr. Oresswell. If, in your march after an honest living, you ahould enoouater me, I truit you will see the necessity of holdtog your tongue — It might not rait my card to have my chnraoUr mad* too public, oi my name either. Should we come in contact, you had better not betray me." 11 Should we come in oontact, I shall not know you be aisaied — at least, as long as you are doing no evil— 'but do not count on me as ai accomplice. If I see you in contemplation of auy vUUany, no matter where it v, look to yourself. To every man I ask for work, I shall tell of my own sin— do you think I would bide yours 7" :t You young scoundrel, look to yourself!" cried Monk, every evil passion in his black heart displaying itself in his face, " for here I warn you that I will follow you over the world, and drag you out from any roof that may shelter you ! I'll drag you back to a cell though you were as itmocent as a dove, I swaar Ib, and Mark Monk can keep his oath I" He clenched both hands as he spoke, his lips being actually covered with foam as he gnashed and ground his teeth in the fierceness of his rage. " Do your worst," Cresswell replied, with on* look of intense acorn at his late companion, ere he started at a rapid pace toward thft goal of his hopes and fears, vis., the buildings down in tho valley, as he descended the hill he made a rapid survey of the place so intereiting to him. There were, in addition to the factory itself, many scattered cottages surrounding it, and nestled along the banks of the running creek. One larger house than the rest lay behind the big chimneys and against tho hill, while oa one pretty and almost detached building, shining in white paint, and surrounded with a gtrden glowing with flowers, the outcast found himself gazing with an irresistible fascination. 11 If they would only give me a chanoo I might vet have suoh a home," the youth murmured, " and my mother might yet—" but here the young eyes filled with tears and he turned his eyes awny from the cottage to seek for some one about the factory to whom he might apply for information ; in this he was Boon successful, a man ooming out of a ehed and oarrying a great bundle of leaves on his shoulder replied to his qaeslionu. '• Yon must *pply to Mr. Warrington himself, he is his own manager. That iB he jußt ooming oat of the press room. This is a Tobaooo faotory," and the man went on his way. Mr. Warringion, attracted by the evident tramp and seeing by the gesture of his man, that he himself was being enquired for, walUd in the gateway lit was pacing uatil Oreeewell want up to him. The proprietor was a stout, ple&sant-viHaged man, his sleeves rolled up to the elbows And a work-in»n-liko air pervading his whole uaaunur. " Well, toy aaao, do you wani to speak to me?" " You are Mr. WarrJngton, sir ?" "I urn. I enpposa yon are in seajrea of employment, nnd yen look as if you neoded it. I want mon among the plants, and if you oau uso a hoe you oau go to work in the morning." " On, lhank you, sir ! but there is Bomafchins? to say before you engage me." " The wages, eh ?" Mr. Warrlngton aakac! with a suspicious glance at the young man's face, for he bad no respect whatever for " mndowners," and thoroughly del pined a man who could c«p about wages, with tho tooa sticking out of bis boots. "No air, it ii nottba wnges, ib U ao<uathing more serious to m<» than vrftgas," and the yuUji'a face flushed up, whlio hl« voice trembled co that he could nob for the muciaat control tho action of his llpn, Mr. Warrlngfcon looked a*i him thoughtfully, aad with Keen discernment. " Say what you have to say my lad, and bs as quick about ib, as you can, for my time, ai you may guess, is no idle time." " I beg your pardon air, bat it's such a hard thing to s*y. I will accept any work thankfully if you aie willing to give it me, after I toll you that I am juSb out -of gaol, after serzlug a long sentence, I think ib would be dishone*t to hide that, or perhaps it is^nearer tho truth, Mr. Warrington, that I would rather tell you now, than that you should discover it afterwards." As in a choking voice, this sad confession was made, Crasswell turned away his no* pallid face (for nil the blond had left ib, and flown to hia hard throbbing heart) and bii eyes lighted agala on that pretty white building iv its Dotting of floorers. Oh 1 whub would be Mr. W«r*iugton's r«ply ? Should he have to turn ula back on this Eden of his hopes that seemed to hold for him hia one chance of salvation P Ib seemed to him an hour era the gentleman replied, yet it was scarcely a minute thai Mr. Wurriugcon remained in thought. 11 For what crime were you convicted ?" " Burglary with violenoe, Bir." "Have you no relatives who would assist you back into an honest way of doing ? ' ''No, sir. My moihoi- — " and here ha broke utterly down, and bid bis f &oa with his hands. " There, my lad, there, go to tbo men's hut, that's it down by the creak, I'll never be the man to etand between any sinner and an honest life. Be a good lad, and stiok to your determination of leading an honeit life," and with bis own heart full, the good man tamed abruptly away with the young man's heartfelt " Qoi bless you, sir I" ringing in his pars. Cresswell stood there looking after him whom he honestly considered his benefaotor, abiolutely stunned with a sense of his great good fortune. Fermiision to work among honest men onoe more, hopes of an eternal escape from the horrid contamination he had spent three long and weary years amidst. What a boon from heaven was this ! The pretty cottage among \ho #ower« did not seem •o far away from him now, and he looked at it again and again as be made bis way toward the hut poinUd out by his new employer. He found it occupied by only one man— the cook apparently, for b* was busily ; frying chops in a great pan. He was a short, ; rod-headed fellow, with a low-browed, dirty faoe, and walked with a vary slight halt. ■ t . ■ « Hallo 1 a netf hind V he questioned. |i •' Has the bois taken you oni then ?" < , , " Yes,'? replied Creeswell, laying down his . \sw*g in a corner, turning his baok to the cpok in order to do.io. .

observe it ; he looked the picture of surprise, md a low ejaculation eso&pe'd him. "Monk, by Jove!" the ejsculaMon wxe; just aa young Cresswell «<izned toward ftim again, and gladly sat down on a bench. " Are you alone ? did you bring any company with you, nuts ?" were the next cautions questions. , « I am quite alone." 11 Strange," Mid the man, we will call Jack, to himself. " Monk must hare fallen in with him somewhere, and oam't be far off." Now, the simple caaie of all thU certainty and surprise wa* a oroM of chalk that Monk had managed. surreptitiously to mark on the •houlder of the young man* ooat ere they putted. It had been for years a private mark between him nnd his pals. Jack had, however, no time to ipeoulate muoh at that time, at the men now oame in from work, and rapper had to be roughly ierved on th% ■tout table that tan along the centre of the hut, between a double row of bunks. From the questions the new arrival asked nod the general convention among the hslf-a-doisen men at the table, he learned a few items of gossip as well as information about the place. lh« factory was called the Bylands F*otory, from the name of the oreek near by. The large house behind the faotory was Mr. Warrlngtoa's residence, the prefcty white cottage, the sohool-houae, arid residence of the teacher. Mr. Warrington was a bachelor still, and " awfully shook" after Mrs. Oreiswell, the schoolmistress. More fool he, what good was a blind woman to any man ? though, indeed, she made a wondrous good teacher, and all the children of the faotory hands liked her. Young Oreiswell heard as ia a dream. He tried to rise, but fell back so helpleuly that, but for a olutoh at the table he would have fallen backward over the bench on which he sat. For a moment his heart seemed to stop, and then went on again with great throb* th*t tent the blood like fire through hit veins. No one observed this great agitation exespt Jack, the cook, and he watched the young man furtively, and with the deepest interest. In serving round the viands, previouc to this he had for reasons of his own, taken an opportunity of obliterating the chalked cross from the young man's old coat, but now, as ho aaw tne stranger had , some secret, his interest in him was greater than ever tor finding out that secret, and, if possible, of burning it to good account in sorre way. B«ildes, there was thafo fatal cross of Mark Monk's, He was bound by it as strongly as if a baiter fettered hla neok — ns, iudeed, it might do if he forgot his oath , to his old pal. With such thoughts as these, and many move unrecorded, the man washed up hia < dishes an tha night foil. If Monk was in the 1 neighbourhood, h« would aoon nhow himself, j as oue of theii matas wao a permanent resident at the bare distance of a mile from ' the factory, and, of course, knew of Jack's employment. Ha must ko«p hla eyes open, ' and bis ears, too, as well as watch the < marked man. An he wiped the lust dish, he looked round, and stw that the new-comer i was absent. Where could he, a stranger, i have gone on the very first night of bis arrival ? Had he foUowed the young man in the 1 dim starlight, ha would hare seen him i skenling with light steps toward that. flower* i surrounded cottage, that held for him such i a strange attraction ; he would have noticed 1 the stranger avoid the patched gate, bound : ov«r the loweab part of tha fen?e, aad alight i among the rosoa of the garden ; ha would i have seen him move toward a low, lighted ] window like a shadow, and, himself bidden, ( WAtcfi th* iasldifl of the hucabi* spartmeat with eyes so full of tears that he could oaly 1 se« when he dashed them away wildly with j his htUiii. Lab us look upon the picture thai) ho *hw. ]: At a gnouU centre table was seated a woman t of about for*y-five, with her head bowed q upon her hand. Th» light of a small lamp c rested fu'l upon hoc soft, browa hair so q thickly streaked with grey that already it t began to show .that indistinct tint of lost colour thai always reminds mo "of the grow- t ing bloom on » damson as the fruit ripaus. C The dovrncMt face showed to the watcher v the fine profile of a most intellectual face, c with aa expression c| ineffable melancholy f around the proud lips. In the whole attitude fl of thia woman these wrs expressed oofcb dosp a and despondent thought, and the youth's « heart was soze within hlia to see thi effiscfc h of four short yjiirs 'on feha well-known form, p Tho door wao wltbiu a few feet of him, t and h? sofdy triad fch<* lafcoh— It lifted easily, k yet not. ao noiseleisly but that tho blind u woraao heard him. It waa pitiful to sao the v helploes oyoa turned toward the door aa she d rooognleed the strange movement. t 11 Is ibwt you, Ann ?" slid asked, quickly. * " 1 have boon waiting foe you. No, it is not — who is it ?" c The young man made two steps forward, * and Mrs. Cress well roio to her feet. It was * pitiful to see the expression of her ftce where ' doubt', anxiety, and all the most painful emotions of the heart ware visible. The c youth could endure it no longer, but went c clone to her and placed his arm over her shoulder. ' "My God 1" she whlipered after a aesond's J p&uto, "am I (breaming I Is it Arohlo V * "It is Archie my do&t mother," he replied I in a choking voice. ' She clung to her lost son, as a sailor clings * to the spar th*t is his only hope of life, and 1 then the fond arms relaxed as Arohie'ii * support her in a dead swoon. Persons who ! swoon from excess of h».ppinoss do not how- - ev«r dU — Mr», Creaawell aoon recovered, and | was able to listen to her sou's explanation of ' his misfortune;, ' " Ah it wag a foolish wish of mine to seek this country, mother, and I did it in spite of ' all advice. I was ia Melbourne months ] without procuring »ny employment, and in ' an evil hour, fell in with the man Monk, I ' have been telling you of, I was doaperate, ' and not hard to pewuade, when he aiked me ' to join in an expedition In which there was ' little or no risk, it waa to enter a house at ' night, where a large sum in gold was known to be s<acreted. You know the result. The man in charge was aroused by our movements, and tried to defend his truit ; Monk ' struck him senseless. We were oapturad ' and sentenced to three years imprisonment. * Oh mother, if you knew what I suffered in that awful prison 1" "My poor lad ! speak of it no more, it is < all over. Let us try to make the remainder ' of our llvo* good and h,»ppy." 1 It was late ere Arohie left Jhe cottage on ' bis way baok to the hut for, until Mr. War- ' rington had been cor salted, it was not thought prudent that ho should remain with his mother. He had reached the oreek and was within a stone's oast of the men's hut, when, all at ono»,, he was arrested By the sound of » low, tremulous whistle that at intervals stopped and was repeated in a oadenoe with wbioh lie was too well acquftinted-rit was a whittle peculiar to Monk, and Arohia's heart stood still for a moment, all his past terror wa« recalled to him by the, dangerous vioinity of this man.

oreok, and both washed and listened. In )he Biaxiigbt be ooaid see the dark outline oi Iho men's hat and tho ueatteired trees that gradually thickened as the bosh crept, up the skirts of Mangeo. It seemed to him that the low whistle came from under the B«nge and he wai gazing in that direotion and trying to penetrate the half obscurity of the .spot where the trees approached nearest the hat, when he saw a man atea from its shadow and make his way quickly in the direotion whence the whistle appeartd to oome, Archie Oresswell was active, and fall of intense tenor of the fatal effects that might result from this ill-omened visit, and, at all risks, he determiosd to try and discover its object. Keeping the line of th* creek, and in shadow as weil as he could, he followed the mart, whom, as he nnftred him, he recognised as Jack the cook. As this man emerged into an open spaoe, not a r3oE«n yards from the creek, another man walked out from bshind a tree and j aimed him. It needed no moonlight for Archie to FHCOgalse bhi« man ; tho shudder &t his hearo told him it was Mark Monk. "Did you. expect me?" Monk asked, aa his accomplice joined him. " I thought it a bare chance I'd manage to see you to-night." "Of course I expected you. Didn't I know you'd moke straight for old Drake's place, and that ho'djtell you wbese I was ?" " But how did you kuow I was about ?" " Didn't I see yW mark on that young chap that was engaged this evening ?" 11 Oh ! he's here then t By Jupiter, we'U have to be careful. I put the mark on him juet by chance, little thinking you'd h« here." What do you want to be oarefal for on that oh&p's acconnb?" Jack asked, with curiosity. "Why, he'a that chap that got the sentence with me about the burglary business, and now he's tamed on the honest dodge. The young villain had the cheek to tell me up to my face that he'd split on me if he saw me up to any game* near him. Jack, that young man must be got rid of." " I'll do no more of that business, Monk," the other replied, sulkily. "You won't, eh?" 11 Ni>, I won't," was the obstinate reply, in such loud tones that he might have been heard at the hut. 11 A man — do you nurk me, Jack CorrJgan —a man can only be hung once," said Monk, with a fisroe glare in his evil eyes and between his set teeth. " And he needn't be hung once unless he's a cowatd, Murk Monk." " What do you mean ?" " I mean that I'll do no more of your dirty work, do your own murdering. I've not had a day's nor an hout'n comfort this six years, sometimes ia the night I see old Darrel's face as I saw it when I struck him down, and all for you, curse you!" Monk looked in wender as well as rage, at the speaker thus showing himanlf in an entirely new aspect. " Have you got the Governor's free pardon in your pooket that you dare me thui ?" he asked, hoarsely, for he could hardly speak. " Yea, I have," was the reply, and before Monk could even draw back a pistol was at his breast and discharged. He feil with a horrible imprecation, sorambled to his feet and tried to run after bis murderer, fell again, and again struggled to his feet. Now he w«s blind and tottered, but he still ran, and, with arms out-str-itchod, stumbled against a human form else trying io escape round a cluster <>f waULa, To this fora? Monk clung with the grip of doitu and a gargling shou* of Htmaipu. "I awe you I" Us checked. " Ctawavi, I hava you, and the gallows shall Lave you yet. Die, and follow me to — " The last words ware utiered aa be pluog'd his ol&Dp-kuifa infij the broasfc of his vicsim ; thea he rolled back m hit hand «eit»xsd the grip al bia weapon. The afcariiahfc saw som« convulsive movements of hia litabs, and » growing pool o f blood on the green grais ; then »11 was still around Mutt Monk. The nun who had bten stabbed rose, and turned to the ' starlight the face of Archie Creoswell. Yes, it was he, ami no% J*ckJ upon whom the murdered convict had executed his revenge. Ho drew the weapon froca his breast, aud Itriod to staunch the flowing blood with the shirt he tore from his arms. Hia fir it; instinct was to fly to that whice home among the rotes and to thn helping hand that had no often soothed his pain*; then hU generous hu-ut forbore io terrify the poor woman. As Jack did not know the deed had been witnessed, and might go back to the hub, Archie dared nob venture there, so, with the courage born of desperation, he rm toward Mr. Warrington's house at the back of the factory, and knocked at the door. The proprietor, being a moit earnest and energetic worker, was still engaged with hia books, though his servants had all retirod. Ho opened the door himself, and asked who wanted him. " It is I, sir, the young man you co kindly engaged thia morning. I am wounded, and came for help." For a moment Mr. Warrlngton hesitated, for he could not help remembering the youth's own confession of his antecedents, and prudence ovsrc&tne hie natuv ally genwoua disposition— this was but an instant, though, for at the sight of blood trickling betwoea the /outh's fingers a« he pressed shorn to hia cheat, the good man net his lamp on the floor, and drew Archie into the room he had himself been occupying. Here his first task waa to administer a glasa of wlnt, his second to examine the wound he had received before he would listen to a word of explanation. Mr. Wartingtonwaaiomething of a surgeon, as indeed he was something of r good ninny more or less useful professions, and the factory bsiog at a good distance from any medical man, h« necessarily kepi % good many articles in the chemlat'a line. He soon had the wound bound up with many assurances that Archie need not be a bit afraid, as the knife had glanced off on the ribs without touching any vital part. " And now tell me the whole story, my ladAhe said, as h@ seated the young man in a comfortable chair, and Archie told him all, including his visit to Mrs. Creasweil, and the fact of him being her son. " Wonderful 1" ejaculated the good man, " and you are the son that poor soul came out here all the way from England to search for? Ooald any oae tnink of more unparalleled devotion | Helpless, and poor, and blind ! Well she had had reward at last in her darknesa, her faithful love has found light at last I" How true those prophetic words ware the speaker little knew when ht uttered them. "Sea and never wound her heart again, nsy lad, and you shall be a son to ,ma also. Now, come, and I will show you a be - — you must remain here while I go to nee about thia horrible affair tbat will throw a shadow over the brighfcnsss of Bylands.". , „ ' How thankfully young Oresswell lay down that sight let the. reader gusss, while Mr. Warrlngton, a^eompajliedi by of* his eapecUl men, whom:h* knocked Tip, went to the mana hut* A fig^* *PP 6>^fd'throtigh;

nets of the cause of tbe wratchtd beiiig's temporary madness. He; had dragged the oorpie of Monk frdm the spot where he had died, snd apparently by a rope In a noose round Ihe helpless neck, which rope Cunigaa h«d passed otcv a tit-bwra, and held lit one hand. " Now who'll be hang, Mark Monk I" he cried, or rather soured, just 'as Mr. Warrington Mid his oompanions reached the hat. " You'll hang me, will you f The boot's on on the other foot, mat*! Yo, heave oh!" And up was drawn, the awful limp and bloody object to the tie beam, and ' swayed there to and fro for a moment, taming lti awful face to one side, and the other as obeying the pendulous movement Imparted by the quick elevation of the bod/. At this instant the sleeping men aroused by the noiie, and springing from their bunks at Mr. Warringbon entered, the murderer and maniac wm soon secured, and the awful object swaying underfthejroof, rescued from his hands. " How fortunate," observed Mr. Warringion as he «iood by Archie's bedside, and told him tha result on his return horn*. " how very fortunnte your poor mother will know nothing of this awful event. I trnat the commotion has not awakened her indeed I fear she would b* too happy to Bleep to-night." He was wrong— Mrs. Cressweli slept well. When the sound of her son's sttp could be no longer heard she waat into her room and fell upon her kn«ea to thank the Hvlog Ordainer of all, for hit great ameiaa toharaeif and to her restored son. She recalled her breaking heart and her helplesu search for him In this strange land, and the good friend Heaven had raised up to her in Mr. Warmigton, in whose icrvico ehe had beea enabled in her blindness to earn a comfortable living. And now, when she had lost all hope*— whea her faith had been so d«*d that the very roses around hor no longer reminded her of their Maker. He had neat her th« lo*t one ovei- the very fchrashold of he? own home I Might His same be for ever praised, and for ever and ever. Amen ! When the blind woman lay down in such unutterable peaoe as belongs not to this earth, it seemed ty her aa if taeva wai na more earth only a second heaven ovor which tha same great Baler presided, and where all hit* oreatures mns^ love each other. She did not dream of the stwfal toeneß being outvoted bo near her ; no, she fell asleep, and dreamed of a land where there was no deatb, and no lost loved ones, and no biindmas, nod {no sin. She dreamed that she was floating away on the softest and most beautifal oload and. that she ooalci see the radiance of every atar as she pasted it on her glorious way to aome strange and lovely land. She dreamed thas at lasi sha reached a gase of gold, atnid each a radianoe of light aa dazzled her newiyfound sight, and that as she entered, she looked baok, and saw her darling Arohie waving his hand toward her triumphantly, from the summit of a distant peak— in her darkaesa her faithful soal had found light at last! The tidings, however kindly broken to him by his new friend and benefactor, that his mother had been found dead in bed with' a heavenly smile an her pale lips, was a heavy blow to Arohie Oresawell, bat youth is elaetio as hope itself, and long after Jaok Oorrigan had Buffared for his orimea and Mark Monk's broken remains had amalgamated themselves with tbeir mother earih, the memory of his mother waa as roMy fresh and lovely ia his heart as the fbwers thit nlwsys bloomed above h&r treasnrei grave.
