they could, and then sat down gravely
to think what they should do with her.
There seemed but ono thing to do:
and, in fact. they never thought Of any
thing else. and little Primrose was
duly installed us n member of the prai-
rio household.
They did all in their power to learn
something OF her antecedents-to ac-
quaint any relatives she might have
of her whereabouts-but without sue
cess.
The child could aid them but little.
She remembered long, weary jour
ney; a long time of pr!vation; recalled
dim memory of u father, and that
was about all.
The partners advertised as best they
could in distant newspapers that
seemed best suited to the purpose, but
without result. And then, as time
passed and little Primrose seemed, Of
necessity, to become their property,
they felt almost glad that their efforts
had come to naught.
II was wonderful how quickly the
little thing grew into their lives and
twined herself about their rugged
hearts and frightened up the weather
beaten old house.
Rose, she said her name was: but she
was such womanly little thing that
they had called her Primrose, ut first
by way of joke and then from force
of habit; and the name suited her well.
Dave, with an old fellows horror of
appearing sentimental, did not tell all
of how she had frightened up their
plain, dull lives and crept into their
hearts; but he told part Of it, and Nell,
with all of n young girls intuition,
guessed much of the rest.
Little Prim at first had been the
cause of many grave debates between
the partners. They scarcely knew
what to do with her; but by dint of
experimenting and doing what their
kindly hearts prompted, they managed
to care for her eXccllently, though in a
queer, mannish fashion.
She thrived wonderfully, playing
about them as they worked, and him
dering helpfully about the household
tasks, and was happy.
At night the partners, instead OF
smoking their cob pipes and talking
over the few events of their quiet lives
before going off to bed, would tell her
the stories she begged for-queer, old
Baxter Springs news. [volume] (Baxter Springs, Kan.) 1882-1919, 1893-02-11

fashioned recollections of their boy
hood, for the most part.
And then one of them-they always
took turns at it-would hold her on his
knee, in her little white nightgown
fashioned in wonderful way by the
clumsy fingers of the bachelors, and
listen to the little Now l lay me"
prayer they had taught her, and then
tuck her into the small trundle bed;
and when she slept, toptoe off to rest.
careful not to wallen the child.
Her life in the weather-beaten house
was not all play. She knew her letters,
they advanced her education as well as
they could, and taught her sewing in a
plain way, and other accomplishments,
useful and ornamental.
And so her three years of existence
on the claims passed, seeing her grow
ing rapidly in stature, accomplishments
and into the hearts of her foster-fathers.
Presently Dave got along to the val
entine matter.
Saint Valentines day was approach
ing, and the Juvenile paper that the
partners took for her especial benefit,
and rode twelve miles to the post Of
fee every Saturday to get, contained q
little valentine story, which Prim, now
a tolerable reader, devoured with in
terest and read very nicely to the part
ners, with only an occasional sticking
at the long words.
But she did not understand it wholly.
The subject of valentines was q new
one to her, and the men we're called
upon to explain.
"You see" confessed Dave. Eve
didn't know much about EN-, havin'
had mighty little experience; but we'd
heered."
They told her they were pretty
things made of paper, with verses,
and hearts. and flowers all over them,

outbreak upon the part of willful, win

outbreak upon the part of willful, win
some, impulsive Nell.
1t had been this same willful impul-
siveness that had caused her mother to
go out of'the beaten paths of travel
when their western trip for health and
pleasure was almost done, leaving the
railroad, with its luxurious palace
cars, behind, and riding out onto the
prairies, where broken blackboard
had caused them to stop at the small
crossroads settlement.
Now the girl burst into her mothers
presence with half-inc oherent version
of the story she had heard, and dis
played the valentine that she had al
most suatched from Dave Shredder.
What queer thing that valentine
was-the work of little Prim's loving
fingers-a sheet of white paper. with
rudely-drawn heart upon it, surround
ed by flowers, pressed daffies and little
wire-grass blossoms pasted on! Below
was written, in Grabbed, childish char
acters:
''To dear Daddy Dave, with lots of love"
LITTLE PRIMROSE"
"Just think how hard the poor little
thing worked to make that" cried
Nell. huttering around her mother,
swinging her coppertoes and whis-
ting Sally Good'in.' And it's too bad
for her to be disappointed, and oh!
mamma, give me the trunk keys SO
that can get out my treasure box"
She recovered her breath while the
keys were being deliberately produced;
then the treasure box was quickly
taken out Of the trunk. and its accumu-
lations of ribbons, photographs and all
the knickknacl1s dear to n girlish
heart were jumbled out, and from the
bottom were taken two beautiful val
eutines-cherished relics Of last Saint
Valentines day.

The child lis tened gravely, accepted
the explanation and remembered; and
the partners went about their duties
and forgot all about the conversation.
Then, on the afternoon before Valen-
tines day, Shredder, returning unex-
pectedly to the house from the early
blowing afleld, had heard sounds that
made him tiptoe up to the door-which,
rs the day was springlike and pleasant,
stood open-and pecpin.

Next morning, little Prim astonished
the partners by presenting each with
valentine.

entines are for folks we love, you
know"
The two men looked very solemn.
"We ort to be shot on the spot for
forgittin' herr" Hicks muttered.
That's So" agreed Shredder.
And yet, when the child, not catch
ing the drift of their remarks, asked
what they had said, they put her of
with an innocent evasion.
Il reckon your valentines will come
by mail" Shredder told her, and not
long after set off for the settlement,
leaving little Prim in a fiutter of en-
element.
"Yere's what she give me-" said
Shredder, producing the valentine.

He was interrupted by Nell's Selling
the little homely valentine and flying
out of the store.

The message that give 10 thee;
Put forth thy utmost art
Win, II thou canst, her fancy free,
And touch her maiden heart
TELL hnr that from its steadfast love r
There naught my soul Gun stir
Swear by yOn glorious sun above
I'm true till death, 10 her
Tell her no blot my scutcheon mars,
No spo, nor faint OF shame:
!f'rOm sircS who Durc u patriots sears
trace IN honored name.
With gifts that w!scst mortals seek
Tel her my cup Ooriows:
Health lights ms eye, and on my check
Iou,h-iresh and ruddy. CLOVIS.
But should she siill unyicldng prove,
E'Cn then do not despair;
Tel! h,r-hcr heart twill surely move
Tia, An d millionaire.
