at least, we kIcke3 our heeis, until from the

commanded US to follow.
Across the court we went in the rain,
through vaulted passage, and, passing a
screen Of carved oak, found ourselves sudden

some ten or more gentlemen seated, who all
with one accord turned their eyes upon US as
the captain brought us forward.
The table before them was Uttered with
maps, warrants and papers, and some Of the

thought Of the matter, a. he did once in
awhile for the next year. that his pre-
clous bit of.mischief had come to naught.
Nellie said nothing to Laura, ever; she
thought the letter had no doubt been
lost, and when news came two years
after OF Jenny Dauvray's marriage to
Jack Davenport she was glad she had
never questioned Jenny as to the mat
ter: really Miss Dauvray had forgotten
all about the thing after it was mailed,
and did not answer Nelly's letter for three
months. and then only in the briefest
and stiffest fashion, for even then she
was becoming absorbed in Jack.
But the obnoxious valentine did a
good work for Laura: had it never come
she might have gone on bemoaning her
recreant lover. hoping against hope for
hE return. till the news of his marriage
would have smitten her to the heart.
Now she was as much Disguised as
grieved; she could not cherish as an
idol a man so coarse, SO cruel, so COM

Laura's pale roses blushed warmly

her past folly, her fieeting anguish: she

and be thankful.
And the recovery was confirmed by
the appearance in Swanfield of new
minister, not too young, but good, kind
~ and thorough gentleman. The first
time Mr.. Vernon saw Laura Lamb he
was struck by her likeness to the wife
he had lost three years before: this is an
infallible symptom in widowers; it
seems to point out their duty, if not
their pleasure. And Laura liked Mr..
Vernon at first sight; she liked him bet
ter every time, and when he really put to
her the question. having fully made up
his own mind, she acknowledged that
she loved him! So she did, and discov-

loved Jack Davenport, certainly not
enough to have married him. She be-

VALENTINES,

Made Ones.
When February's saint, Dan Cupid;
Regent of love-rhymes, lord of folded
arms" takes possession Of the hearts Of
youths and maidens, yes. and of the
hearts Of the little folks, too, the de-
mand for valentines is sometimes great
er than the supply of pocket money.
But such pretty ones may be made at
home by the clever fingers of mother or
an older sister, that there need be no
dearth of the tender missives. Square
or panel-shaped cards may De decorated
with water colors; little books may be
made, and with suitable selection Of
sentiments are dainty and pretty gifts.
Take, for instance. a cardboard of
delicate gray tint, and of pebbled sur
face; cut from it the covers of the books,
which should be nine inches long by
four wide, fold in the center, making
book four and one-half by four inches.
The leaves may be cut from architects
paper, and on them painted any senti-
ment that pleases. If the Old-time
rhyme:
Forget me not. / only ask
This simple boon Of thee;
And let it be an easy task
Sometimes TO think of me-"
is selected. one line may be lettered on
each leaf and at intervals single forget
me-nots or two or three flowers and
buds scattered over the page. The cover
may be lettered in blue and gold and
the leaves tied in with pale blue ribbon.
Panel cards with bunch of forget-me-
nots painted on them, and the same
verses, are pretty valentines.
One Of the daintiest of valentines may
be made of cream-white satin ribbon
five inches wide and eleven inches long:
fringe the ends, then neatly sew to it
land sprinkle violet powder between)
another piece of the same ribbon which
has been decorated with some delicate
spray of flowers, trail of arbutus, for
example, or with scattered clusters Of
wild-fowers, or rosebuds, and with
those exquisite lines of Henick's:
:. dare not ash. kiss.
dare not beg smile:
Lest having that or this
l might grow proud the while.
No. no. tie utmost share
OF my desire Shall be
Only 10 kiss that aire
That lately kissed thee"
A very charming illustrated valentine
may be made in book shape by taking q
piece of heavy drawing paper nine
inches long by six wide and folding &c
make book four and one-half inches
wide by six long. and fitting with leaves
of architects paper or of bristol board.
Letter the cover in unique fashion II
"A Valentine to My Lady are the
words chosen, put an ornamental capital

pretty verse for illustration is:

But my heart, my heart

A tiny marine view may head the first
page, and a moonlight scene the second,
while the decoration of the next two
may consist Of ornamental lettering.
These few suggestions may bring
fresh ideas in their train, and with a
fair knowledge of the use Of water
colors. and certain amount Of taste
and perception in the adaptation Of
designs and notices, valentines may be
made that will not only please the
younger members Of the family. but
