K VALENTINE
Februn
morning, In the
classic day
A gallant youth sat
dreaming of a
maid with curls
of gold.
Her voice was
sweeter than a
llute, her step
was like a queen's,
And not a waist in all the town was
neat as Eveleen'a.
Oft before her Ivied window In the
snowdrifts or the dew
He had lingered, looking fondly at the
tapers shining through.
But the maiden was as bashful as her
beauty was divine,
So now he sought to woo her with a
dainty valentine.
Before him on the table lay a rose of
velvet red.
A fillet wrought of silver just to fit her
curly head,
A string of coral, rosy like her glow-
ing finger tips,
And frosted sugar plums to melt like
kisses on her lips.
And yet he could not make a choice,
till Cupid, straying near,
Behind his gilded quiver hid a smile
that held a sneer;
"Go write," he said, "a pretty note, and
ask her to be thine,
And seal It with a kiss to send by old
St. Valentine."
The lover toolc a scented sheet, in hue
of palest pink,
And on it with a slender quill he wrote
in blackest ink:
"Dear Eveleen!—sweet Eveleen! thy
name is my delight,
It maketh music In my heart from
morning until night.
'Tis mating time for all the birds, and
happy things are they,
But 1 am left a lonely man to sigh my
life away—
To sigh my life away, my love, If thou
wilt not be mine.
Oh, come to me, fair Eveleen, and be
my Valentine!"
Across the purple eventide, and over
bill and dale
The moon, a silver crescent, flung her
glory like a veil.
And still he sat a dreaming of the Hps
he longed to kiss,
When inward swung the oaken door—
what vision fair was this?
A slight and graceful figure all In ruby
velvet dressed,
With a tear upon her lashes, and a lily
on her breast. ,
He felt her arms about him In their
snowy whiteness twine;
"I come to thee, my dearest love, to be
thy Valentine!"
Oh, ye laggard lover pining Ilka the
youth of olden times
For a shy and lovely maiden, find a
lesson in my rhymes,
Do not woo her at a distance, sighing
at her garden gate,
Lest another boldly enters and you
find yourself too late.
Do not send her cards of satin scat-
tered o'er with flying doves,
And a wreath of roses tended by a host
of dimpled Loves,
But a frankly written letter, with your
heart In every line;
And she will come, like Eveleen, and
be your Valentine.
—Minna Irving.
THE LOST YEARS.
i WO crimson spots
I appeared upon Miss
Jemima's pale face
when she heard tho
gatelatch click.
She knew that her
brother was bring-
ing In the mall,and
as he entered the
room she beut low-
- er over her work,
her crochet needle
flew faster and she coughed a slight
cough.
She knew, without looking up, that
her brother brought In a pile of valen-
tines in hlB hand, and that when
presently he should have finished dls
trlbutlng them to his eager sons and
daughters, her nephews and nieces,
be would come and bring one to her—
or else? He would not do this last.
It was this dread that brought
crimson spots to her cheeks.
If there was one for her he would
presently come, and leaning over her
■houlder, he would say. as he dropped
upon her lap the larger, handsomer one
t.i&n all the others: This looks
mighty suspicious. Sis Mlmle."
Each year for seven years her broth-
er had tenderly handed his sister her
valentin*. After he had seen the Ion
of pain and confusion that followed
his playful teasing In presenting the
first one, he had never more than re-
lieved the moment by a passing Jest.
The regular coming of "Aunt Jemi-
ma's valentine" was a mystery In the
household.
It had been thirteen years since Bhe
had quarreled with Eli Taylor, her
lover, and they had parted In anger,
never to meet again. Since then she
had stayed at home and quietly grown
old.
Fourteen years ago sho had been in
the Hush of this, her only romance, and
St. Valentine's day had brought
great, thick envelope. In which lay,
fragrant w ith perfume, a gorgeous val
entlne.
The oldest children had been very
small when this resplendent confection
had come into their home. Somo of
them had not been born, but they
had all grown up In the knowledge
of it.
Shortly after she received It there
arose a foolish lovers' quarrel—Ell had
gone away In anger-and that had
been the end.
Disputes over trifles are the hardest
to mend, each party finding It difficult
"THIS LOOKS MIGHTY SUSPICIOUS,
SIS M1MIE."
to forgive the other for being angry
for so slight a cause.
And so the years had passed.
For ten long years the beautiful val-
entine bad lain carefully put away.
For five years Jemima had looked at It
with tearless eyes and a hardened
heart. And then came the memorable
first anniversary when the children of
the household began to celebrate the
day, and tiny comic pictured pages be-
gan flitting in from th . school sweet-
hearts.
In the youthful merriment of those
budding romances Miss Jemima seemed
to see a sort of reflection of her own
long-ago Joy, and in the faint glow of
It she felt impelled to go to her own
room and to lock the door and look at
the old valentine.
With a new, strange tremor about
her heart and an unsteady hand she
took It out, and when In the light of
awakened emotion she saw once more
Its time-stained face and caught its
musty odor, she seemed to realize
again the very body of her lost love,
and for the first time In all the years
tho fountains of her sorrow were
broken up, and she sobbed her tired
heart out over the old valentine.
Is there a dead-hearted woman In nil
God's beautiful world, I wonder, who
would not weep again, If she could,
over some of life's yellowing symbols
—symbols of love gone by, of passion
cooled—who would not feel almost as
If In the recovery of her tears Bhe had
found joy again?
For the first time since the separa-
tion, she clasped the valentine to her
bosom nnd called her lover's name
over and over again, sobbing it, with-
out hope, as one in the death agony.
Miss Jemima, In her suddenly real-
ized young-love setting, had become,
THE FOUNTAINS OF HER SORROW
WERE BROKEN
to her own consciousness. old and of a
date gone by.
But there 's apt to come a time In
the life of tie live single woman of
forty—if the be alive enough—when In
the face or even negative and affec-
tionate disparagement she is mo/od
to declare herself.
One thing. Indeed. It was to own a
yellow, tlme-stalned valentine, and
quite a different one to be of the dim-
pled throng who crowded the Jonea-
vllle postofllce on Valentine's day.
"I reckon them young ones would
think It was perfec'ly re-dlc'lous ef 1
was to git a valentine at my time of
life," Miss Jemima said, aloud, to her
looking glass oue morning. It was the
day before St. Valentine of the year
following her day of tears.
"But I'll show 'em!" she added, with
some resolution, as she turned to her
bureau drawer.
And she did show them. On the
next day a great envelope addressed
to Miss Jemima Martha Sprague camc
in with the package of lesser favors,
and Miss Jemima suddenly found her-
self the absorbing center of a new In-
terest—an interest that after having
revolved about her awhile flew off In
suspicion toward every superannuated
bachelor or widower within a radius of
thirty miles of Jonesvllle.
For ten years her self-sent valentine
was a mystery to the other members
of the family.
As the years passed. If her brother
began to suspect, he made no sign of
It save in an added tenderness. And,
of course, he could not know.
On the anniversary upon which this
little record of her life had opened,
the situation was somewhat excep-
tional.
The valentine had hitherto always
been mailed in Jonesville—her own
town. This postmark had been noted
and commented upon, and yet it had
seemed Impossible to have it other-
wise. But this year, in spite of many
complications and difficulties, she had
resolved that the envelope should tell
a new story.
Tho farthest point from which, with-
in her possible acquaintance, it would
naturally hall was the railroad town
of—let us call it Hope.
The extreme difficulty In the cbbo lay
in the fact that the postoffico here was
kept by her old lover, Ell Taylor.
Here, for ten years, he had lived his
reticent bachelor days, selling plows
and garden seed and cotton prints and
patent medicines, and keeping postof-
llce in a small corner of his store.
As Miss Jemima pondered upon tho
thought of sending herself a valentine
through her old lover's hands, the col-
or of the scheme began to change from
impossible green to rosy red.
Instead of dreading, she began ar-
dently to desire this thing.
But the only possible plan by which
she could manage secretly to have the
valentine mailed In Hope—a plan over
which she had lost sleep, and In which
she had been finally aided by an Illit-
erate colored servant going there, to
return next day—it must reach her
the day before Valentine's. This day
had come and gone, and her valentine
had not returned to her. Had the
negro failed to mall It? Had It re-
mained all night in the postofllci
possession of her lover? Would she
ever see It again? Would her brother
ever, ever, ever get through with the
children and finish giving out their
valentines?
Miss Jemima had not long to wait,
and yet It seemed an age, before the
distribution was over, and she felt
rather than saw her brother moving
In her direction.
"Bigger an' purtier one "n ever for
Aunt 'Mimle this time—looks .to me
like," he said, as at last he laid tho
great envelope upon her trembling
knee.
"Don't reckon It's anything extry—
In partlc'lar," she answered, not at all
knowing what she said, as she con-
tinued her work, leaving the valentine
where he had dropped It: not touch-
ing It, Indeed, until she presently
wound up her yarn In answer to the
supper-bell. Then she took It, with
her work-basket, into her own room,
and dropping it into her upper bureau
drawer, turned the key.
As she sat to-night looking at tho
outside of the envelope, turning It over
and over in her thin hands, great hot
tears fell upon It and ran down upon
her fingers, but she did not heed
them.
It was even dearer now than ever
before, after this recent passage
through her lover's hands. At this
thought she raised it lovingly and laid
It against her cheek. Could he have
handled It and passed It on without a
thought of her? Impossible. And
since he had thought of her, what must
have been the nature of his thoughts?
Was he Jealous—Jealous because some-
body else was sending his old sweet-
heart a valentine?
This year's envelope, selected with
great pains and trouble from a sample
catalogue and ordered from a distant
city, was a fine affair profusely decor-
ated with love symbols.
For a long time Miss Jemima sat
enjoying the luxury of nenrness to her
lover that the unopened envelope had
brought her before sho felt Inclined
to confront the far-away romance typi-
fied by the yellowed sheet within. And
yet she wanted to see even this again
—to realize Its recovery.
And bo, with thoughts both eager
and fearful, ahe finally Inserted a hair-
pin carefully in the envelope, ripping
It open delicately on two Bides, bo that
It might come out without Injury to
Its frail, perforated edges. Then, care-
fully holding its sides apart, she shook
It.
And now—Something happened. One
of God's best traits is that He doesn't
tell all He knows—and sees.
How Miss Jemima felt or acted,
whether she screamed or fainted, no
one will ever know, when, Instead of
the familiar pictured thing, there fell
into her lap a beautiful, brand-new
valentine.
It was certainly a long time before
she recovered herself euough to take
the strange thing Into her hands, and
when she did so, it was with fingers
that trembled bo violently that a bit
of paper that came within the valen-
tine fluttered and fell beyond her
reach. There It lay for fully several
minutes before she had strength to
move from her seat to recover it.
There was writing on the fluttering
fragment, but what It was and why
Mies Jemima wept over it and read it
again and again are other trilling
things that perhapB God does well not
to tell.

doing of late, and he feels that if his old
friend Dana had found tho same source of
vitality in timo ho might be abiding with
us still.
Mr. Medlll is na investigator and when
the stories of tho miraculous Magno-Mud

interested autl eventually decided to try
this mysterious sulwtanro on his own rheu-
mntie limbs, aud woigh its value lie wan

itor was mud mummitled dallv for several
weeks and gained visibly in wolght.strength
and vitality. The chief evidence of his re-
cuperation was a Neries of editorial sledge-
iinmnier blows, which made the opposition
tremble.
The final result of the experiment was
an unqualified success. "Joe" Medillwent
back to Chicago in September, and wrote
an editorial about Magno-Mud with his
own hand. Next, he sent his sou in law.

mud treatment In November he went
down again, uud since the new bath house
is completed be expects to be a regular
