place the tree between them. Once
during pause in the brute's move
ments he thought of climbing
up The tree, but a look at its inn
mense trunk showed him that that
was out of the question, for
the pine was without branches for
over fifty feet from the ground; be-
sides, its girth was more than he could
embrace. There was nothing for him
to do but dodge around the tree dntil
the tutor, attracted by the report of
the shooting, would come on the scene,
shoot the moose and relieve him. If
he could only avoid the brute then for
little while all would be well.
With that hope in his heart he felt
equal to the emer gency. The moose
after each successive charge would re-
tire ten or fifteen feet, pause for n sec
ond or two and then, with a below
that made the branches quiver, bear
down upon his Zoe. Twenty minutes
of this perilous dodging began to tell
upon the viscount. He felt himself
growing exhausted, while the mad

worse instead of better, as the day
went by, and often he saw her crying
quietly. He knew then that she was
thinking of papa, for she always cried
when she thought or spoke of him.
Papa had gone away in a big ship
somewhere, long ago, when Laddie was
baby, and the ship had been wrecked
and he never came back. Laddie often
asked if there were no hopes off his
ever coming, but mamma looked SO
sorry when she said Pm afraid not,
little one" that he had about given up
rying to find out any more.
One day, 1t was the thirteenth day of
this sparkling February, Hannah sent
Laddie down town on an errand, and
he gayly set of, glad of any chance to
be out, if only for short time. AS he
passed the gay shops he eagerly looked
at the bright pictures their windows
presented, wishing he were rich enough
to buy some of the lovely things for
mamma, that beautiful silk for dress,
or one of the great easy chairs. or
some of those books. He stopped
longest at the book window, for, though
he didn't read very much himself. he
liked the pictures and mamma loved to
read always. But to-day there was
something more attractive than the

tistic groups, were the most exquisite
picture cards, all flowers and hearts
and arrows-and a great white card
hung in the midst, containing one long
word in big letters.

he did know, that before he could fire
again the animal was upon him.
AS the moose bore down upon the
Englishman the latter sprang behind q
tree and escaped a'blow from the head
of the animal that had power enough
to kill the whole house of lords. AS
the Englishman sprang aside from the
descending horns and let the tree
stand the shock he unfortunately
dropped his rifle, which at once sank
out of sight in the deep snow.
Then began a series of dodging move
ments which developed an amount of
agility that surprised the young fellow
himself. The wounded moose would
charge at his enemy in way that
meant instant death, and the latter
would avoid the beast by dodging be-
hind the immense pine which served
him for barricade. The young Eng
lishman could see that the brute de-
sired to trample him to death beneath
its sharp hoofs, and he knew that the
only escape left to him was to keep a
sharp .ye on the animal and ready

him eagerly:
"Don'tyou want me to carry your
baggage, sir, please?"
The man looked down at the bit of
humanity before him--and then at his
valise; then he laughed long and loud,
shaking so that poor Laddie felt as
though an earthquake were convulsing
the pavement beneath him, At last
the man found breath to say:
"Well, little fellow, don't see as l
need much help with this thimbleful of
baggage, but that man who has just
passed has lot to carry; maybe he'll
hire you"
Before the sentence was finished, off
darted the boy so fast that he overlook
the heavily laden traveller, and fairly
tangled himself in the long oVercoat,
as he said:
"Will you please let me carry this
biggest satehel? I'll do it cheap"
This man did not laugh at least, not
aloud-and Laddie felt encouraged,
though the satchel looked rather
formidable.
SWELL, well, youngster," said the
stranger you don't look as though
you could manage such heavy load,
but you may take this smaller bundle,

Uncle Sans stationery bill is a very
large one. Half million lead pencils
are consumed in Uncle Sans postal
service annually; likewise 1900 quarts
OF mucilage, 1,500 barrels of ink, 10, 900
pounds of rubber bands and $4,000
gross of pens. The pens alone cost
$4,000 every twelve months. Only first
and second-class post offices get such
luxuries as pens, ink, mucilage and
blank books. Twenty-eight thousand
ink-pads and $4,000 pounds of stamp-inl1
are needed yearly for making post
marks. Six million cards are used up
in the same length of time for receipts
for registered letters and packages.
But these are only few of the articles
which are supplied to postmasters. One
OF the costly items in the accounts of
this supply division OF the post office de-
partment is weighing scales Two hun
dred of them on an average are sent
out every week to replace those which
are worn out, get broken by dropping
off tables, or are burned with post office
buildings. This represents an annual
expense of $4,000, although Uncle Sam
buys his scales for less than third of
the regular market price. Washington

What was to be done? The tutor had
evidently wandered too far away to
hear the report or else something had
befallen him. If he could only burrow
in the snow out of sight but that was
impossible. for the snow was barely.
three feet deep on the level.
Then during one of the pauses that
the moose took to gather wind plan
to escape came to him. Could he not
take off his fur coat and when the
moose bore down on him throw the
coat over the brute's horns and then
run for his life. The thought gave him
fresh energy, In an instant the gar
ment was off and in his hand and, when
the animal advanced, with an adroit
swing the coat was thrown over the
horns and the viscount tore away down
the path with the speed of a rocket.
The sudden turn of affairs bewil-
dered the animal. He shook his head
in fury and rage, but the coat still
clung to the prongs, partially binding
him. Again and again he endeavored
TO shake the garment off, but without
avail Each shake entangled it more.
Finding that his efforts were useless
he dashed away on the path, but in
direction opposite to that taken by the
.viscount. Just then the tutor, after
running up one path and down the
Other without hardly knowing whether
he was coming in the right direction or
not, hove in sight, and seeing the
moose flying down the path with the
viscount's coat on his head, came to
h.
in the coat, and was, of course, prompt
ly stricken with horror at the awful
fate of the house of Kilfoyle borne
away by a fierce animal to be de-
voured. What a story Rev. Mr.. White
would have to tell to friends in Eng
land-that the lord of Kllfoye had
actually been carried away, and all by
a terrible animal in a Canadian wood.
With the disappearance of the moose
the tutor thought the safer thing to do
under the circumstances was to make
for civilization, and as civilization
could not possibly be in the same line
that the moose had taken he went the
opposite way. After journeying along
utterly disconsolate voice from the
branches of spruce tree startled him.
| 1t was the viscount, who, becoming eX-
hausted from his rapid run, sought the
shelter of this small tree until he could
regain his strength and scattered wits
The joy OF the tutor was unbounded

Whatever you asltr Could it be pos
sible? Then lie could get the whole
sum Mt oncel But no, perhaps this
would seem too much to pay. 'Twould
do no harm to ask, however, so he
said, taking the bundle and trudging
bravely along:
"Would twenty-five cents be too
much?"
"Well, that's rather a queer sum, but
think can stand it. Why don't you
make It an even quarter, thought"
Then Laddie told all about his valen-
tine plan, and the three cents already
in his pocket and the pretty card at
the book store which could be bought
for quarter The gentleman was
very much interested, and watched his
little companion closely, as he went
on. At last, when Laddie stopped to
take breath, he said
"Why don't you ask your papa for
the money!"
'Cause papa isn't here; he never was
here since ] can remember, and don't
know II he's dead or not, but mamma
always cries when she tells about him"
The gentleman stopped suddenly,
and, looking eagerly into Laddie's up
turned face, asked one more question:
What is your name?"
Mamma calls mo Laddie, but my
real name is Lawrence Raymond; that
WIS papa's name"
Down went the losd of bundles on
the pavement, and Laddie found him
self clasped close in the strong arms of
his new friend. He didn't quite under
stand it, nor why the stranger almost
sobbed, as he said: "My babyl my

strengthening himself up as tall as he
could, he said, sturdily: "I'm seven"

truth, as yet.
"We'll get her one tomorrow, dear,
the finest one in town; but now, show
me the way home, and tell me all ABOUT
her."
So they hurried toward the humble
house, Laddie telling about mammals
trout bles as well as he knew how and
listening to bits of papa's strange sto-
ry, which sounded almost as wonder
full as Robinson Crusoe. At last they
reached the door and Laddie rushed in,
crying, excitedly:
Mamma, It's come baclI-the valen-
tine papa - twenty-five cents - OIL

Mamma gave start and joyful
cry; then, suddenly, Laddie found him
self once more warmly mbraced, this
time, however, in two pairs of arms,
instead of one, and he felt queer to see
both mamma and the newly-found
papa crying over him.
But the queer feeling gave place to
most happk one, when, after awhile,
he saw mamma sitting at the table,
with bright look he had never seen
on her face before, and heard her say

"oRlGINAL VALENTINES"
Simple Little Rhymes and Their Impor-
tant Mission.

thuI htsSiOus
A queer but kind-hearted and rather
sentimental elderly lady, Miss Lavinia
Stripe writes correspondent, kept
small millinery and notion store in
the village where l lived ASIA boy.
Her store was little box of a place,
not more than ten by twelve feet in
size, but it was always scrupulously
neat and bright with the gay ribbons
and feathers and flowers that made
most of her stock in trade.
During the second week of Februa-
ry, Miss Lavinia's shop windows al
ways hung full of valentines, and in
each window was little card on which
was printed: Original Valentines"
for while part of her valentines were
of the usual paper-lace and cardboard
and tinsel variety, she kept also a
goodly supply of fanciful and clever
creations which were the work of her
own fingers. The verses on these orig
inal valentines were also of ''her own
get up"
Miss Lavinia long ago closed up her
little shop and bade final farewell to
earth; but there are many men and
women who remember her for her
kindness and gentleness, and for whom
each recurring fourteenth of February
calls to mind the little shop and the

The 'light-complected" little girl
has it still. I saw it only yesterday.
1t is made of two pink and blue hearts
ingeniously woven together, while a
golden spear runs through both. On
the back is this original verse by Miss
Lavinia
"Oh, little maid, with eyes OF blue,
May you love me as love you
May our two hearts through life entwine,
And so send you this valentine"
Miss Lavinia also composed valentine
verses ito order" charging but ten
cents for something like this, with an
appropriate name in the line:
"oh, the name OF Mary is pleasant to hear,
And the name OF Lucy is sweet 10 the ear,
And the name of Grace with true luster doth
shine,
But Betty's the one for my valentine"
Little Miss Stripes verses were in
demand, and caused many heart flut-
terings and bushes of pleasures; and
simple little rhymes as they were, they
played an important part in the adjust
ment of certain affairs whereby sun
dry of the young people of the village
were made happy for life Youths
