Description - Marked "Personal" by Anna Katharine Green
MARKED "PERSONAL" by Anna Katherine Green, is a rather cleverly constructed tale of revenge. A party of gold prospectors are overtaken by snow, sickness and hunger. Two of the number murder a boy for the bread which he is saving for his sick father. They are condemned by the rest to suffer any punishment that the father of the boy chooses to impose on them, but in consideration of their sharing with him the produce of a discovery of the precious metal which they have made, he postpones his revenge for a period of twelve years. At the end of that time, they each receive a card (marked "personal"), directing them where to meet the avenger; but the latter fails by a minute or so to keep the appointment, being delayed in consequence of the New York riots of 1863. On the next occasion, however, each falls a victim to the very means he has taken to avoid the danger.
