He was interrupted by NeIl's Selling

..You needn't be surprised 1t any
thing she does" said Barry. ''She
beats my time!'
Her mother-stately Mrs. Esta-
brooke-had long ago learned what
Barry expressed in his Dor der slang,
and had ceased to be startled at any
outbr eak upon the part Of willful, win
some. impulsive Nell
It 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 a half-inc oherent version
of the story she had heard, and dis
played the valentine that she had al
most snatched from Dave Shredder.
What a 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-

thing worked to make that cried
Nell. futtering 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 I 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 knickknacks dear to girlish
heart were jumbled out, and from the
bottom were taken two beautiful val
entines-cherished relics of last Saint
Valentines day.
''And, mamma mine, we are going
out to those claims. Mr.. Shredder is
ever so nice, if he is bashful, and l
know that Mr.. Barry can get Us some
kind of conveyance, and do SO want
to see that little Primrose get her val
entines, and see her swing her copper
toes and hear her whistler
And before Mrs. Estabrooke could
reply the girl had fiuttered away and
into the store and had laid the valen-
tines before the astonished Shredder,
who was almost speechless for time,
and then pronounced them ''gorgis!"

The partners advertised as best .key

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
1t 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 a womanly little thing that
they had called her Primrose, at first
by way of joke and then from force
of habit; and the name suited her we'll.
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 a 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 6int of
experimenting and doing what their
kindly hearts prompted, they managed
to care for her excellently, though in =
queer. naannish fashion.
She thrived wonderfully, playing
about them as they worked. and him
dering lrelpfully 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
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 I lay me-"

Her life in the weather-beaten house

of himself at having shown so much

Of course Mrs. Estabrooke yielded
to Nell; it almost always happened so,

Presently they were swinging away

into conversation that he forgot his nm
accustomed position and talked freely.
Mrs. Estabrooke's questions were
more to the point than Nelps had been,
and, after awhile, she learned facts in
regard to the discovery Of little Prim
that had escaped Nell

Mr.. Simpson Hicks was almost strick-
en- dumb, when, at the sound of wheels,
he went to the door TO see his partner
drive up in company with two strange
ladies.
Little Primrose came flying out.
s.Any valentines for me, Daddy
Dave?' she CHR ped.
sYou bet!' replied Dave, snatching
her up. ''An' they're just gorgis!''
At the sight Of them, the child
screamed with JOY, and ran to Hicks
''Oh. look, Daddy Simps! Look! look.''
'sThey air gorgis, Primmy-surely, ="
he said, gravely.
Mrs. Estabrooke looked after the
child as she ran.

and rode twelve miles to the post of
fee every Saturday to get, contained a
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 a new
one to her, and the men were called
upon to explain.
''You see," confessed Dave, 1--WE
didn't know much about 'em, 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,
and were given to those the giver
loved.
The child listened 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 afield, had heard sounds that
made him tiptoe up to the door-which-
as the day was springlike and pleasant,
stood open-and peep in.
.sThar she sat on her stool, con-
tinued Mr.. Shredder, 'a-swingin' her

Dave had tiptoed away again, with
ont disturbing the child.
Next morning, little Prim 4stonished
the partners by presenting each with a
valentine.

The two men looked very solemn.

And yet, when the child, not catch

what they had said. they put her of
with an innocent evasion.

The remaining member of the party
was Mr. William A. Kinney, now a

resident Of the Sandwich islands, and
one Of the leading participants in the
revolution Of 1887. He met the mem

: EXTRACTION TREATY.

The Extradition Treaty with France. Ne
gokiated by Hon. Whitelaw Reid. Rati-
fed.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-The senate
yesterday afternoon, in executive ses-
sion lasting three hours and half,
completed the consideration of the
French extradition treaty, and at the
close of the discussion ratified it. The
treaty was negotiated by Whitelaw
Reid during his service as United Sta ties
minister to France, and was constructed
upon plans laid down and in &C.
cordance with instructions issued
by the state department. The new
treaty, it is understood, does not con-
tain any largely increased number of
offenses which will be extradita BILE
crimes, but it was found desirable to
make new definitions of old crimes to
fit the modern condition of things.
The senate also devoted part of the
time to the Russian treaty, the pro-
posed amendments being read at
length, but no action was taken.

sion, Senator Morgan making speech
