NNEY MAHBI/r HK was very pretty there WIIH no douht whntovor nhout that ; and Harold Vane , who UUod to look nt pretty tiling of all kinds , especially women , lingered in the shadow of the hallway and watched pretty Maud Ethlyn tiB nho sat nt the old-fuHhloned llreplaco , one dainty foot resting on the lirnnu nnillrmi nnil hr r siirl-crowiied head hunt low as With a tiny Kolil pencil she wrote something on n shoot of note paper which re posed , wonmn-fnshlon , In her lap. Presently the wrltlnj ; conned , and Iho fair writer , thinking herself alone , proceeded , in a way she had , to talk to her own charming Hclf ; and Harold , Urn man who listened , excused himself on the plea that what she was saying could ho no secret , or uhc would not utter it aloud , oven though supposing hursclf to lie alone. And this is what ho heard : "YcH , Cupid , I hnvc written a Valentino tine to the ono who IK destined by you to ho my futo ; for , according to maidens' bolluf , only ho , my own true lover , can find 11 and unswur If honcu , Hhoiild an nmnvur come , It will he ab solute proof to mo that the writer of It Is my future lord and muster. " And she Hindu u little curtsey bourn - /urn / the long plur glass ; and , snatch ing : i soft wool Hlmwl from the soft ) , aho wound it ahout her head and shoulders and , the valuntlno in her hand , wont out on to the porch and ran down thu garden path , Harold from the hall window discreetly watch ing her as she went lightly down past the old mo&K-grown well to the somewhat - what bleak and deserted summer Made a Little Curtsey. house , whcro liq saw her slip the val entine under n loose stone nt the sill ; and then , for reasons of his own , not wishing to ho discovered hy the fair writer of the valentine , ho swiftly left thu house by another path , making a circuit which in a few moments brought him also to the summer house , where ho deftly abstracted the vnlen- tlno , not pausing , however , to read It until safely within his own bachelor iiuurtors ; hut , having reached them , ho could no longer brook delay and , ! with hat and overcoat still on , ho drew ( rom his pocket the tiny sheet of note paper and read , in Maud's graceful chirogrnphy , the following : JooU HfUnt , on earth nomowliere , they tell me , IB wattliiK iv Valentine , llriivo uiul tender mid loyal nlway , And destined sonio day to be mine. Can you not tliut him , and toll htm duly Another heart tunder uiul true \H u Valentino somuwhero Is waiting for him. And to tlnd her let him ask you. Early the next morning Maud visit ed the summer house and , while not really expecting to Hud her valentine gone , she did hope tlmt it might he , so eagerly raised the stone nt the mill and gnvo n little shriek of girlish de light at llndlng her hope realized. ' Yes , her valentine was unmistak ably gone. But who could have taken It ? And , whoever , It was , it was quite shabby of him not to have an swered It. Could It have been that teasing hey cousin of hers ? If so , she would never hear the last of It. But no Jim would never have put the Blono back properly. Maud was becoming n good detec tive , nt leant In affairs of love. But who could It have been ? She felt certain that no QUO had seen her Jcposit her valentine there under the stone ; hence It being gene would ar- j-uo that Pate had Indeed been at work In her behalf. But who was the man ? And Mnud dropped down on the rus tic neat , iilbult not n romantic spot In wlntnr , to medltato and arrive at lorno conclusion undisturbed. She really did hope that it was not the young clergyman ; for she was not at all up In theology and was qulto too undignified for a clergyman's wlfo. "And the young doctor would not do , nlco as hu is , " she said , emphatic ally , "for I never could ho sweet and amiable enough to shnro him with all the other women In the town. " She paused a moment and then con tinued : "Ralph Is a bright young lawyer , but so metaphysical ; mid , while I can oc casionally assume an Interest In meta physics , that mental diet dally would be very wearing. But don't you think , Miss Maud , " she continued gayly to hurHolf , "that you nro presuming n great deal In taking It for granted that any one of these gentlemen wishes to ho your Valentino ? Oh , nol I do not flutter rnyHclf. But the eli gible young men in town are so few that 1 must mention them nil to find somebody , BO 1 might na well refer to the others , Reginald comes next , and lie does waltz divinely ; hut waltzing Is not very profitable , and I fear it la poor Reggie's strongest point. Tom IB Intellectual : but ho ban such n dreadful temper that I sifquld foci all the tlmo as though I were living with dynamite. Joe Is n tyrant , and ho la so Insanely Jealous. Now , I love to have my own way , or think I do ; and , if n man were determined to bo jeal ous anyway , I am afraid I might bo tempted to tease him a little , so that combination would not do at all. Only two are left Jack arid Harold ; and Jack Is a dear good boy , hut not nt all commanding. " ( Shu had forgotten that she discarded .Too because ho was. ) "And lust , but not least , there Is Harold. " But what she thought of him the llttlo lady did not say. That evening , as she again sat at the old fireplace , feeling , it must bo confessed , somewhat disappointed nt the non-arrlvnl of her valentine , a white missive1 , evidently loused In through the open hall window , fell nt her feet. But no ono was in sight , and , full of eager expectation , Mnud opened the sealed missive. "Oh , how romantic ! how delicious ! " uho exclaimed , as , with beating heart and dancing eyes , she road : O , Hweetlieart mine ! I Imve no gift to offer , So priceless as tliou art ! I only como , a lever trno mid tender. And brliifr to you my heart. Thou , as she turned her head , the door behind her opened softly , and somebody took bur In his arms , and somebody's kisses silenced the pro tests of her lips. A llttlo struggle n 'woman's last pretense of battle before the surren der she IB happy In making and then Maud , with all the tender love of her heart shining in her glorious eyes , whispered , softly "O Harold ! 1 am so glad It was you ! " As Described by Pepys. Old Popys' diary records almost yearly allusions to St. Valontlne'e day. Pepys tells us that February 14 , 1CC1 , ho took Mrs. Mnrta , the wife of his friend Sir W. Bratten , for his valentine , adding , in parenthesis , that ho did it only for complacency. And Sir W. Bratton In Hko manner took Mrs. Popys for his valentine , "and BO wo were very merry. " February 18 Pepys squandered 40 shillings on Lady Bratten upon n payro of em broidered and six payre of plain whlto gloves. " February 21 Sir W. Bratton sant Mrs. Pepys "half a dozen , pair of gloves and u pair of silk stockings and garters for her valentine. " On Valentine Morning. In some English villages even yet the custom of "vnlentlnlng" is ob served. The children gather early In the morning and go from house to house singing some chorus like Good-morrow to you , Valentine , Curl your locks as I do inlno , Two before and three behind , Good-morrow to you , Valentino. The children nro rewarded with lit tle notions , pennies or candles tossed to thorn from the windows. , Substantial Valentines. In olden days valentines were pretty gifts to some friend chosen for the day. The lady valentines of the six teenth and seventeenth centuries wore honored not by anonymous verso , but by substantial gifts. , , THE LION IN LOVE. LOVE IN THE LION. OVERDID THE TRICK WOMAN'S VENTURE WITH MAGIC MOST UNFORTUNATE. Good Story from Which Labor Leader Draw * the Moral That Too Much of Anything Must Be Bad. Max Morris , the head of the Clerks' International Protective association , deplored in his Denver office , apropos of Labor day , the long hours of too runny clerks. "Too mush work , " said Mr. Morris , ' "Is an harmful as too much piny. Too much of the finest and best things is harmful. You've heard of the spring In the Vnlo of Avoca ? "Well , old Michael O'Houlahan was walking in the Vale of Avoca ono hot afternoon and ho came to a spring. It was crystal pure. The sand It bubbled out of was as white as snow. Rainbow mists hung over it In the sunshine. "Old Michael knelt down and took a drink , and then , feeling remarkably re freshed , ho turned homeward. Though ho didn t know it , the spring in' the 'Vale of Avoca was the real Fountain 1 of Youth , and it had lifted 30 years from his bent shoulders and ho was an out-stepping handsome lad again. So , of course , when he got In the house his wife dodn't know him. He looked , In the glass nt himself , cut a caper , and then ho said : " 'Shnre , Kathleen , 'twas the blessed spring I drunk from In the Vale of Avoca. Glory bo , It's made mo young again. Run , darllnt , run for yer life. Yo can't mlsn It for the rainbow mists that Joat above It. It'll take your fat. away , and yor Inmsness , and when ye 'come back you'll be the Kathleen I knowed back in the sivontlea. ' "So Kathleen ran , and Michael lit his pipe and waited for her. But she' ' didn't come back. Ho waited and wait ed. Then , on towards dusk , ho hurried 'to ' the vale. "No Kathleen did he nee anywhere , but the wall of a babe's voice weep ing brought him through the dark to the spring , and sitting there on the 'grass was a little girl baby crying as If her heart would break. " 'What's happened ye , acushla ? ' says Michael. " 'Don't ye know me ? ' says the child , wringing her hands ' "Faith I do not. ' says Michael. 'Who are ye ? ' " Tin yer wife , ' sobs the baby. " 'My wife ! ' cries Michael. " 'Yes , ' says the baby. 'I'm afther drlnkln' too much o' the wather. ' " Where He Drew the Line. In a western Kentucky town Bon Watson had saved the life of Myra Underbill. Miss Underbill had been overturned in a creek with a swift cur rent , and the net of young Watson was n verjj heroic ono. Ho had saved the life of the girl after she was sink ing for the third tlmo , and ho had barely strength to pull himself and the young woman to shallow water. The news soon spread and Ben Wat son was hailed as the real , live hereof of the village. Aunt Tabby Wilson , the oldest wom an In the village , mother of the llttlo colony , was loud In praise of the heroIsm - Ism of the young man and nt once de clared that Ben and Myra must get married. "Ben saved Myra's life , " she said , "and now they must marry and be happy ever afterward , just as they "do It In the story books. " But Ben demurred. The arrange ment did not suit him. "Why not marry Myry , Ben ? " said the old lady. "Sho Is yours , and we must have n wedding. " ' "She's n nice girl , all right , " replied Ben , "but I don't think we oughter marry. Seems to mo , " he went on , "I have done enough for Myry. " Har per's. _ An Error In Noses. "So Bernard Shaw In not coming to America , oh ? lie says wo nro two hundred years behind the times , so ho could learn nothing from us. Well , well ! " The speaker , a dramatic critic of Washington , laughed heartily. "Shaw , " ho said , "Is amazing. Ho always does the original thing. I went to see 'Caesar and Cleopatra' with him once , and as we stood In the aisle . the house was crowded a stranger be hind UH persisted in poking his head right over Shaw's shoulder. "Shaw then did the original thing. Taking out his handkerchief he wiped the man's nose , patting and twisting it pretty vigorously. "Tho man , with an ugly oath , jerked back his head. " 'Oh , I bog your pardon , ' said Shaw. I thought It was mine , you know' " Like Them as They Are. It Is n funny thing that most people ple nt times are filled with a strong conviction that the \rest of the world nro all wrong , and that they alone are right. Most of us are apt to bo bard on people who do not do Just what wo think they ought to , forgetting that every person Is born different , grows up different , and probably remains different all through life. It is easy to criticise , but we must not forgot that to other people wo may bo making almost as great n moss In n different way , perhaps of our own lives. So , Instead of talking over other people's straylngs from the path and expecting them to do Impossibilities , It would surely bo bettor to try to ap preciate our frlonds ns they are and believe the righteousness of their mo tives , however things may go awry.
