GEOUGIE'S ' VALENTINE.
the
Trouble a Doll Caused, and
What Game of It.
On St. Valentine's Day there was no
five o'clock tea in Mrs. Croft'H drawing-room.
It was swept and garnished.
Many waxen candles gleamed in tho
candelabra, but they were unlimited,
only tho bright firelight lit np the room
. ami threw its fitful glare over tho
fresh-cut flowers and bric-a-brac that
adorned it.
Evidently, something unusual had
wceurrcd or was about to do so. Such
was in truth tho case.
Oi this evening Mrs. Croft was giv
ing a ball to everybody everybody
who was anybody in tho town was bid
den. A clink of tea-things sounded in the
hall and proceeded up-slairs to Miss
Croft's boudoir, where she and her
cousin, Mary Croft, who had
arrived an hour previously, were sit
ting in all tho luxury of drcssjng-gowns
and unbound hair.
"And he sent you this, Georgic?"
ssaJd Mary, holding up a wonderful
wrk of art composed of laco and
swan's-down with a humming bird
nestling in the conter.
"Yee," answered Georgia, laughing.
"It's a beauty, isn't it?"
' "And you really sent him that one,
. as you said you would?"
-Yes, I posted it this afternoon bc
"fore T Casio to meet you."
"Well, you are a brave young
woman," she laughed. "I dared not
(have dono il; however, I suppose you
disguised your handwriting?"
Well, yes, I shauld think I did;"
responded Georgie. 'I wouldn't have
him know for the world. However,
tvo shall sec what he looks like to-nihr.
I say, Marj, it's a quarter to seven
tve haven't much time to dress."
In tho town of Mellinglon, where
the conversation took place, and in the
iirincipal inn known as tho Royal, on
the night in question sat St. Michael
Delaney, close to the lire of the cheer
Jess sitting-room.
Mr. Dulaucy was an Irish gentleman
of good family, who was blessed with
a. handsome fortune, and, moreover, a
handsome presence. Both being taken
into consideration, it was not strange
that he was soon admitted into tho
limited socictv of Mollington in which
tlie Crofts moved.
To-night ho had returned wet and
Treaty from tho hunting-licld and was
now giving himself up to a pipo aud
liis own thoughts.
Would il not be better, he thought,
lor him to havo a moo homo in the
'ould country," with a nloo littlo wife,
instead of knocking about tho world at
the mere' of his valet and the hotel
people? And then he fell to picturing
the little wife, andsamehow he always
of her iu connection with
vice, began a bantering conversation
with Georgie across the table.
"Get many valentines?" he asked.
Georgie laughed. "Yes a few."
"AfcwV ejaculated the young man.
"Ah; Mike, that's the way our hearts
arc trampled. And which did you like
the best?" he continued.
Georgie blushed. -'Oh ah I don't
know," she stammered. Here Mary
Croft laughed. "I don't know who
they're all from," said Georgie, in a
happy inspiration.
"Could 3ou not guess?" murmured a
deep voice by her side.
Before she could answer, O'Brieit's
bantering voice broke in again. "How
many had you, Mike?"
St. Michael's face darkened as he
thought of his disappointment. "Well,
I had, as Miss Georgie stated, a few;
but you saw them this morning."
"Was there none this afternoon?"
"One," said Mike, shortly; "a most
bold and unladylike affair. However,
I wasn't surprised when I saw who it
wTUae from."
Oh, Michael! Michael! I think had
you know that poor little valentine
came from Georgic 'ou would have
thought it the most charming idea in
the world.
As this point of the conversation
Mary Jroft dropped her spoon with a
loud clatter, and in the laugh that fol
lowed her crimson cheeks were un
noticed. Poor Georgie, on the contrary.
turned pale and neither moved nor
spoke.
Mary Croft was in agony. Every
moment she expected to see her fall
with a crash to tho ground; yet she
dared not say anything.
Very soon the guests rose from the
table and Georgie escaped from the
room wher Mike followed her.
"You will have this waltz with me?"
he asked.
"No," she answered hoarsely. "I
couldn't. My head"
"You are not well," he said eagerly;
"let me get you some wine."
"Don't," she gasped; "go away."
"But you are ill," he pleaded.
"Come into the cool conservatory. But,
no, you are shivering. Go aud lie
down."
"lam not ill," answered Georgie,
with an effort. "I am onlv"
words? When cl found that little
packet on my mantel-piece I thought
it might be from you, but the writing
waso like Miss Bingham's and so un
like yours that I thought it must bo
from her. You know, Georgic, I
couldn't have swallowed that pill.
" Why?" asked Georgie.
" Because." he answered, laying his
hand on her arm. " this is the one I
prefer."
"Oh:' was all she found to say.
St. Michael saw his opportunity.
"Tneii you won't think anv more of
it?"

A HOT DAY.
thought
-Georgie Croft
"He had an idea Georgie rather liked
tiim. Suppose"
At this moment the fire burst into a
bright blaze, and he perceived for the
lirst time a little packet lying on tho
mantel-piece.
"A valentine bvJoro!" he exclaimed.
'Perhaps it's from Georgie?" but as he
xamained the direction a cry of disap
pointment escaped him. "Goodness!"
lie ejaculated in wrath. 4That lean
.Bingham girl!"
Some momenta elapsed before he re
ovored sufficiently to open the packet;
but at length he did so and disclosed a
iny pill-box; om tho lid was written:
-"This pill to be taken once in a life
time.' Inside the box was a wee doll attired
as a bride, beautifully dressed, even
with a wreath and veil. I am sorry to
.say that Mr. St. Michel Delancy crushed
-the pretty toy in his hand and dropped
at with a gesture of ooatatupt in the
tire, saying, with somewhat dismal
Jaugh:
By Jove! that muld be a pill and
mo mistake.
Three hours later Mrs. Croft's rooms
presented the appearance of a kaleido
soope, so brilliant were tUe rich jewels
;and dainty costumes worn.

But the words died away on her lips
and her eyes filled with tears.
A sudden thought Hashed across St.
Michael's mind
"Why, you never," he stammered,
"you never sent'
"Yes I did," cried Georgie, her voice
quivering, "but I am bold and unlady
like, and you were, of course, not sur
prised when j'ou saw where it came
from."
"But I thought" ho began, but
Georgie had vanished.
Not one word would she say to him
when she returned to the drawing
room. She was Hushed and excited,
and Mike saw when she was standing
alone that there was a weary look in
her hazel ej-es.
He went up to her.
"Mis Georgie, wont you say good
night?" but she turned away her head
without a word, and when the l:ust
adieu had been said she dragged her
self wearily to her bed with a heavy
heart.
St. Michael Delaney went home to
"Tho Royal Inn" iu a most unenviable
slato of mind. What a fool be was, he
thought. Why couldn't he have aeon
that tho innocent joke was too piquant
to have emanated from that Bingham
girl.
Now he had mortally offended the
only woman he had ever loved. What
was to be done? He would write her
a letter. Yes, that was best.
He began his letter and tore it up;
three other drafts followed, but none
gave him satisfaction. So at last, hav
ing scribbled until almost daylight, he
gave up in despair and went to bed. re
solving he would call in tiie moraine.
At nine o'clock he rose and dressed
with more deliberation than usual and
started on his visit. He found Mrs.
Croft in the drawing-room and she
greeted him with a smile of welcome.

How Three Dakota Ruitlm Entertained
a S!i!veriu Tenderfoot.
It was twenty-three degrees below
zero, ami the wind was in good work
ing order. A slender tenderfoot was
coming down the street on a sort of
crippled "dog-trot," his blue and sup
purating proboscis protruding like a
forerunner of frozen misery. Just as
he reached the corner he was stopped
by Ed Sloan, the rustler and assistant
banner winner. Sloan saw tiiestranirer
long in advance of the meeting, and
deciding to make an impression on him,
he doffed his buffalo coat and c.in.
threw off his under-coat, anil at his
continence with the shivering tender
foot he appeared in his shirt sleeves,
wiping his brow with a handkerchief.
Tho tenderfoot was startled. Just as

"Settled what?"
"The fact of our marriage.'
"How can you be so foolish?"
"Never mind, 111 explain. The
drug clerk got drunk and went to the
store. Shorty afterward, a servant
girl entered and handed him a prescrip
tion. In putting it up he used mor
phine instead of quinine. The girl
went away, and delivered the medicine
to Mrs. Potter, who took it ami died."
"Oh, what's the use of prolouging
this foolishness?"
" Hold on. The death of that wom
an drew you and me closer together
than we ever were before."
"We were not acquainted with each
other ten years ago.'
"That is very true, but wait. Mr.
Potter, the lady's husband, was almost
crazed by grief. He could stay in New

Ho crossed the entrance hall, passed
up the staircase and knocked at the
door of a room on the right. Georgie's
voice cried "Come in," and a very
weary, listless voice it was.
Ho entered. She, thinking it was a
servant, did not turn around. Mary
Croft was sitting by a table writing,
but rose and left the room when she
had shaken hands with Mr. Delaney.
Georgie started and colored violently
when she saw who the visitor was.
"Miss Georgie," ho began, abruptly,
" won't vou forgive me?"
No answer.
" Will you not believe that I had no
idea that it came from you? That ii I
had known'
" I would not make matters worse if
I were you," she said, her face flaming
with indign'ation. " Of course, if you
had known it came from me you would
have thought me bold and nnlady-like
all the same, only you would not have
said so. But you did know and to
say that when you saw where it came
from that you were not surprised. Oh.
that was the most cruel cut of all!"
"But." he cried, not knowing what
argument to adopt, "I did not know
I had not the slightest idea!"
"If you thought it bold and unlady
like in any one else, why should you
think it different in me?"'
Georgie," he exclaimed, passion
ately, "can you not see that I think
you perfection in alWou do?"
Bat her pride had raised a barrier
between them that was not easy to de
molish. Poor St. Michael blundered
take a lemonade to cool off on."
"No, excuse me; I guess 111 go back
to the hotel." reidicd tho tnnrlst- hnf.
just as he was about to leave Farmer i
allaco approached, puffing and per
spiring, carrying his coat on his arm
and a sheaf of wheat on tiie other.
"Well, Sloan," said the farmer, "lit
tle warm to-day."
"Yes. How are you getting along
with your work?"
"Very well, indeed. I left the boys
plowing on the northwest quarter, and
the neighbors' girls have come over to
go a plumming on the creek."
By this time the stranger looked
faint and weak.
"Say, Farmer," said Sloan, pointing
at the bewildered stranger, "don't you
think that this gentleman is in pretty
bad shape? I tell you he ought to see
a doctor."
"Why. my friend, what's the matter
with you?" asked the farmer, in a voice
that went echoing in the frosty air like
the gust of a brass band. "You look
cold and kind of blue! Come out for
your health, I suppose?"
As the stranger was about to speak
Captain Call came upon the scene
dressed in a tidy base-ball uniform aad
swinging a bat in his hands. "Come
on! Come on! All aboard for the
ball grounds!" shocUd. the Captain,
aa he rushed by wUh a gkelul expres
sion in his sparkling eya and a ruddy
glow on his chicks.
"Will yon go out to see the game of
ball, stranger?" mildly asked Mr.
Sloan. You can walk down with "
But he was gone. He rushed baek
to the hotel, went tohis room, thawed
out over a steam radiator, and re
mained inside gazing out upon the first
real, rollicking blizzard of the season,
until the east-bound train arrivad. He
paid his bill by the bell-boy route, re
