Throughout the noighborhood 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: "IIas he found out
yct?' IL was said that he wns going
TO send of somewhere and get n de-
tectivc, and thus was the sensation
! kept alive. Two weeks must have
passed. One afternoon n number of
men were sitting in front of the post
Office when Andy came up "IIave you
got the detective yetP" some ono asked.
"No, and I don't think IN need him, -
Andy answered, "My own wits are
about rs good detective as | want,
and they have been nt work. The man
that sent that thing is in this crowd
right now. and when ] go away from
here ] will be totin' sometlIin' in my

clothes line. Nowdon all git slscered

But they were scared. and all at once,
too. Not one among them was willing
20 part with his cars. and each man
stood about trying TO look innocent.
a man is not at his best when, by his
expression OF countenance, he strives
to convince you that he has never been
( guilty of n mean act, for conscious ia
noccncc often wears n shccpish aspect.
And Mr.. Price, as he stood there direct
ing his gaze from one face 20 another,
was much inclined 20 ascribe guilt TO
the entire party. Finally, however, he
settled upon squiDt-cyed fellow
named Shack. And while giving Shacls
the boring look of accusation, Mr..
Price took out his knife and began 70
whet IL on his boot. 81 know OF "a set
OF ears" said he. "tbat would look

For heavens sake, Mr.. Price. hope
and pray You don't mean mine," Shack
replied, fidgcting and trying 20 shrink
behind the postmaster.

Several days later, during playtime
at school, Price strobe into the room
where the teacher sat "fiow are you,
ma'am?"

"All right; but say, I have come

The day was raw and Mr.. Price was
not In the best Of humor. One of his

and somebody had poisoned his dog.
Indeed, this was no time To be made

In school one day sat little Ned.
A sweet-faoed child with curly head,
And bright brown eyes that looked at ma
Meath lashes crown as brown could be.
As at the childish face gazed
A tiny hand was shyly raised,
And with flush upon his cheek
He said: please, teacher, may | speak?"
OF course / thought he wished to say
Something about his book OF play
So with no further thought said Yes"
And then-ah, you could never guessl
Out to the middle OF the floor
He walked, the little boy of four,
And with look so sweet and wise
He turned on me those bright brown eyes.
Then, with bow, dear little Ned
Began. and this is what he said:

The pink is sweet and so are youl''
