"Now look here," said he. "I trv to
keep pretty close to life; to write'the

I make myself clear? Well, such be-
ing the case let me ask you one ques-
tion. In the last ten years have you
'"own or heard of any human crea-
ture who has attached any serious im-
portance to a valentine or had any
really romantic adventure connected
with one?
"Yes, sir, I have," said I.
He shook his head slowly and sad-
y. 1 could have cuffed him for that
insolence, and yet his question, his
method of getting at the matter ap-
pealed to me.
"I will spin you a little yarn," said
I; "a true yarn, and not a bad one."
Delighted," said he, lying back in
his chair and closing his eyes.
"This happened to a fellow named
Jones," said I. "He was a newspaper
correspondent In the Philippines. He
had been out there six months and
hadn t had a letter from a girl."
"Particular girl?" queried Breek.
"Any girl," I replied. "There was a
particular girl; not so very particular
either, and .vet he'd have been mighty
glad if she had remembered him on
the other side of the world. Most fel-
lows, of course, would have found a
romance of some kind suited to their
individual tastes an 1 fancies out there,
but Jones didn't have the luck. He'd
been brought up in a little sociable

else, and though he no longer had any
close relatives there—very few, in-
deed, on earth—there were his ' old
friends, including some very nice girls,
whom he had traveled a hundred miles
out of his way to say good-by to just
before leaving his native land. They'd
all promised to write to him "
"Including the girl," said Iireck.
"Yes," said I. "and the fact is that
a considerable package of mail for
him. sent through the publishers
whom he represented, and tardily for-
warded, had gone to the bottom of the
Pacific ocean, but he didn't know that.
"In Manila he met a young fellow
named George Templeton, from the
same town as himself.
of wires he got leave to join a small
party that was going up with dis-
patches. and the result was that he
had adventures enough to fill a book.
The party got through alive, but every
man of them was wounded, including
Jones, who made the last forty miles
He found Templeton flat on ^iis
back and raving with fever in a quaint
century old church that had been turn
ed into a hospital. The surgeon in
charge told Jones that it was prac
tically all over; the man was as good
as dead. 'Will he be conscious again
ask™, jones. And the surgeon said
that K was possible.
When is it likely to happen?'
Heaven knows," answered the sur
geon.
" ill wait,' said Jones. And he sat
down on tho foot of the bed. Of course
they tried to take him away, but he
wouldn't go, and as everybody was
pretty busy he was presently forgot-

"Templeton raved and tossed, and
ho said some things that might go to
a feeling man's heart, considering the
circumstances, but he mentioned no
name/ About 3 o'clock he became
quiet, and from that hour till morn
ing he seemed to be sinking down to
death. Then he stirred and half raised
himself.
" 'Hello, Jones,' said he. 'Where did
you come from'."
I've got a letter for you, George,'
was the reply. 'It came after you
left.'
'Give it to me,' said Templeton,
extending a weak, thin hand.
"He took the letter and raised it to
his breast as he sank back against the
pillow. Jones waited, but Templeton
did not move. He lay there smiling,
with the letter on his breast. The man
was dead.
I his is a valentine that some one
has sent to him from home,' said
Jones when the surgeon came. '1
think we ought to bury it with him.'
" How do you know what it is?'
asked the surgeon.
"Jones could not answer.
" 'We ought to open it,' said the doc-
tor, 'in order to communicate with
the writer. Some one might want to
know that he got it.'
"He took the envelope out of the
dead man s hand and opened it after
some hesitation.
'Dear George,' he said in a whis-
per. Mail this to Frank Jones if you
know where ho is, and never tell him
who sent it. I don't know how to ad-
dress him. but you can find out.'
That s mine,' said Jones in a
dream.
1 he doctor put the inclosure into
his hands. It was in a separate en-
velope, unaddressed.
" 'This is a friendly letter from a
mighty fine girl,' said the doctor. 'I'd
like to take something of this kind
with me when I go.'
He put it back into its envelope
and laid it inside the rough woolen
shirt which was the dead man's gar-
ment.
Each year finds old St. Valentine be
coining more popular, and h istesse.-
welcome the 11th of February, as it
gives an opportunity for novel enter
tainments. If one cares to peer intc
the annals of history it will be found
that nearly every country has lis own
Valentine day legends and customs.
To carry out a valentine party "a la
Denmark would make a most inter-
esting and pretty affair. In that coun-
try of snow and ice the little :inow-
drop has from time immemorial been
sacred to St. Valentine, and the sen-
timental Dane sends Ills lady love a
bouquet of the immaculate bloss >ms,
with a card bearing an appropiiate
verse. On the card are as many pin
pricks as there are letters in his

rightly guess the name she is in d ity

he in the nature of a forfeit. But to-
return to our party. Pink is the colur

through rose colored glasses.
If cards are played the game must

fashioned candies affords much merrl-

After the cards present each lady
with an arrow tied with a ribbon, the
gentleman with a bow decorated in
the same manner. The colors are
matched and partners thus selected
tor the supper table. With very lit-
tle trouble a heart-shaped target of
white muslin can be prepared with a
heart painted of green on tho outside

there was one. He excited Jones'
sympathy, which became acute when
Jones learntd that there was a girl at

Templeton for an unknown reason.
Templeton was not naturally sensi-
tive, but the experience had made him
so. He told his secret grudgingly be-
cause it was forced out of him, but he
never revealed the name of the girl.
"In the latter part of January Tem-
pleton's company was sent up into
the interior to a little, forsaken village
where there was a peck of trouble. a
mail steamer came in the day before
the detachment marched, but it
brought no letter to Templeton. The
poor fellow revealed this misfortune
to Jones with tears in his eyes. He
seemed to think that this was his last
