gong to hang you II you should hap
pen to tell an old maid who sent her q
silly valentine? You know better than
that! Did Jas Hoyt send it?"
"No, he didn't"
"It amt SIle Lawson's handwrit-

"No."
"Nor Judson sparkss?"

''It amt his writing"
"Well, who in creation did send it ?"
''You'll get mad if tell you"
"Well, l won't get mad at you, any
how, Moses"
''Sure not, 'Cindy?"
He was leaning over little counter,
now looking up into her face with an
oager, pleading, searching look.
"You sure not, 'Cindy?" he asked
again.
"No, of course not" she said.
"Why should L? I-I-why, Moses
Moss!"
She stepped back with wild, fright
ened look. Something in his face and
manner startled her.
"Cindy," he said.
"Why, I-weli?"
81 sent it, 'Cindy."
"Good Lori Nose Mossl"
81 did, 'Cindy. / Wait mo-

She would have fled from the post
Office, but he reached across the
counter and caught both her hands in
his, saying eagerly:
'T did, 'Cindyl didl sent it. +"
'Let me go, Moses Moss! !"
''You won't send it back, 'Cindy?"

I-I-let me think. Oh, there

Let go my hands. She'll tell it oil

She ierked her hands away; and
Moses called out after her:
eff it's yes 'Cindy, when I go by
to supper, you be settin' by your
front winder, with that red ribbon bow
in your hair, that you had on to the
church social last night. Please,
'Cindy."
She made no reply, but hurried out
with crimson cheeks and shining eyes.
At five o'clock that evening Miss
Dykes nearest neighbor, Mrs. Price,
came homo from walk to the village
store and said to her daughter, Martha :
"'Cindy Dyke seems mighty happy
tonight. She was screechin' out a
silly love song when I came by her
house minute ago, and she came to
the door as I passed, and she had on
her brown silk dress and best white
apron and u red ribbon bow il her
hair"
"Maybe somebody sent her valen-
