a Father Who Did Not Speak to His
Daughter for Fifty Years.

A Father Who Did Not Speak to His
Daughter for Fifty Years.
Fifty years ago James Martin, well-tO-
do farmer living near Ballieville, refused
to purchase his fifteen-year-old daughter a
dress that she very much coveted, on tbs
plea that be could not afford it. Il wss a
few days before st. Valentines Day. The
daughter was a quick-tempered girl and
took her fathers refusal to purchase her
the dress very much 70 heart. On st. Val
entine's Day Farmer Martin took from the
village rostofice a valentine addressed to
him in his daughters handwriting. 1t
was q rough csricature, representing a
miser counting and glOating over his
money. There lived in the neighhorhOOd
q man of that kind. He had a niece whom
he treated brutality. When Farmer Mar
tin Looked at his valentine ne showed 1t to
his wife, simply remaTking that he had
not expected such bitter and uncalled
for Insult from their child.
Mr.. Martin took the girl to task about
it. The daughter ct once declared that she
had not sent the valentine to her father,
but, on the contrary, had mailed very
complimentary enc, entitled The Honest
Farmer il having been her custom ever
since she was little child to send him a
valentine every year. The Old miser's
niece ha0 Obiaired the valentine Farmer
Martin received to send TO her uncle.
Farmer Martins daughter was with her
when she bought it. The two girls had
sealed their valentines at the same time,
and the Martin girl took them both and
addressed them. In doing so she got them
mixed snd sent the miser's valentine TO her
father.
In spite Of all explanation, Farmer Mat
tin could not be brought TO believe his
daughters story. From that day he never
SPOKE to her. She married and lived On a
farm adjoining her iather's. With her
husband and her children Farmer Martin
was on the kindest and most familiar
terms, but he never noticed his daughter.
