Throughout the neighborhood Andy
Prices valentine was the subject of
speculative conversation. At the
school, the sawmill, the blacksmith
shop, the post Office the question was
constantly asked: Has he found out
yet?" 1t was said that he was going
to send off somewhere and get de-
tective. and thus was the sensation
kept alive. Two weeks must have
passed. One afternoon number of
men were sitting in front Of the post
office when Andy came up. "Have you
got the detective yct?" some one asked
mo, and don't think III need him"
Andy answered. "My own wits are
about as good a detective as | want,
and they have been at work. The man
that sent that thing is in this crowd
right now, and when | go away from
here will be totin' somethin' in my
hand and some Teller down the road
may meet me and ask what I've got
and will tell him that have just cut
off So-and-So's cars and am goin to
take 'em home and string 'em on the
clothes line. Now don't all git slSeered
| at once"
But they were scared, and all at once,
too. Not one among them was willing
to part with his ears, and each man
stood about trying to look innocent.

| A man is not at his best when, by his
expression of countenancc, he strives
to convince you that he has never been
guilty of a mean act, for conscious in
nocence often wears sheepish aspect.
| And Mr.. Price, as he stood there direct
ing his gaze from one face to another,
was much inclined to ascribe guilt to
the entire party. Finally, however, he
settled upon squint-eyed fellow
named Shack. And while giving Shack
the boring look of accusation, Mr..
Price took out his knife and began to
whet 1t on his boot. 81 know of a set
of ears" said he, ''that would look
powerful well on clothes line"
For heavens sake, Mr.. Price, hope
and pray you don't mean mine," Shack
replied, fidgeting and trying to shrink
behind the postmaster.
"Wall, since you mention it, be-
lieve yourn is about the best set
could find. Now, hold on: don't try tc
run off. If you do I'll shoot you and

I'm goin' to git even with the person

Several days later, during playtime
at school, Price strobe into the room
where the teacher sat "How are you,
ma amp"
VERY well, thank you, Mr.sPrice.
Won't you sit down?"
IAN right; but say, have come
down here to punish You for sendin'

II hope you won't punish me very

81 don't know as to that--don't know
how severely you may think it is. But

That's it."

"All right; if they suit you they

"Its about time now. think"
"All right, III go, but you mustr' t
never cheat me. Good day"
At playtime every day he went to
the schoolhouse, and it was noticed
that he no longer wore homespun
shirt. One day he remarked: well,
your sentence is up tomorrow"

Shack, with q below for mercy,
dropped upon his knees and Price
strobe to him, took him by the collar
and turned his Mortified face up to the
sun. And just at this instant q pleas
ant voice asked: Twill you please
wait moment, Mr.. Price?"
Price looked up and saw the school
teacher standing near him. She was
rather good-looking young woman;
she had sweet expression Of coun-
tenance; the opinion of the neighbor-
hood was that she always looked as il
she had Just been baptized.
Price turned about and replied: "I'm
waitin', ma'am."
"Mr. Price" she said, smiling, You
are too large and too strong a man to
be disturbed over so small thing as

even during the best of weather, was
sitting about the post office at Miller's
store when the mail was distributed.
The day was raw and Mr.. Price was
not in the best of humor. One of his
steers had been choked to death by an
ear of corn that didn't happen to fit
and somebody had poisoned his dog.
Indeed, this was no time to be made
the butt end of valentine joke; but
when the mail was distributed the
postmaster solemnly declared that he
had letter for Andy Price. Price was
disposed TO doubt this. He looked up
from the cracker-box where he was
sitting and remarked: miller, have
been customer of yourn for more than
five years and don't see why you
want to tamper with me that way.
Yes, sir, been n dealin' with you all
that time and you amt never flung me
out letter yit. And ruther think it's
too late to caper with me now"
Amt tryin' to cut no capers with
you, Andy; here's the letter"
He handed over On envelope and
Andy took it suspiciously.
He nervously tore open the envelope,
being still suspicious, and took out q
red and blue colored print, represent
ing an ass with exaggerated ears. His
friends gathered about him, gazing in
astonishment. Read what it do say"
some one demanded Then they read
the few lines of rhyme, and strangely
enough they applied somewhat to
Andy. He was noted for his large ears,
loud voice, peculiar gait, and these
lines called ridiculous attention to
these facts. The men shouted. Andy
put the thing on the fire and watched
it burn. Then he said: I'm goin' to
find out who sent me that thing, and
I'm goin' to whip him if it costs leg

But lovers were untrue betimes
And as roprimand
Saint Valentine some little rhymes
About like this one planned:
~False heartl / cannot call you mine;
You shall not be my valentincl"
: Then things went on from bad to worse
Alas till, by and by,
= Sarcastic couplets, blunt and terse,
I Like this one met the eye:
You've got phiz so fearful plain
Twill sidotracl, any gravel trainl"
Now pictures awful to behold
Accompany the lines,
And happy truths like this are told
In comic ~ valentines:
s.Your face would chimpanzee shock;
It's warranted to stop clock
Where are we drittingi Who can say'
Unless these paper foes
Put comic o. valentines away
They'll by and by inclose
With every valentine they write
, A great big chunk of dynamite.
