MISS SALLY LOOKED OVER HER srEcTAcLEs
and enjoy her mail for her letters wcre
few and far between, and when three were
handed to her at onco they signiflcd an
event IN her humdrun, nionotofous exist
enco.
Miss Sally was poor and old and plain.
She lived alone In q little weather beaten
cottage on quiet street in quiet country
town. The cottage was stained by the
storms Of many years. but over Its humble
porch trumpet flowers Haunted their
gorgeous blossoms and the Virginia creep
or wantoned in luxurious profusion. In
tho narrow windows gcraniums fuchsias,
pinks ard wax plants stood In brightly
polished tin cans and bits of broken crock
cry. Everything within The house was
scrupulously neat and tidy. Miss Sally's
sewing machine glittered and shone like
some petted steam engine. 1t was nlmeAt
human to the lonely old maid. She earned
her bread and butter by it. 1t was her sole
companion. She loved its whir and clat-
ter. She talked and visited with it. She
anointed it with oil and polished 1t with
channels skin until she could almost sec
her kind old face reflected in its shining
surface.
Miss Sally had not always been poor and
old and plain. There had been a day when
she was yol ng and pretty, the favored
belle of the little village, tho daughter Of
we'll to do parents. But they long since
had lain down to their last sleep, leaving
no heritage to their child. With the years
had flown Miss Sally s beauty and spright-
ly ways She was now only an old maid
seamstress, living alone with her flowers
and her sowing machine.
But Miss Sally's heart was all right
She was not an imbittered busybody, ncid,
garrulous and enyious. Wherever sickness
crcpt with dreaded tread went Miss Sally
with soothing hands, low voice and rare
| knowledge Of roots and herbs. Were
"watchers" needed to sit through the aw
full night by tho side of sheeted, frozen
form, Miss Sally was never wanting.
When the annual donation party came off
for the elder" and his family, which be-
gan ut noontide and extended to the mid
night watches, Miss Sally stood In the
front Of the battle and baked, cooked aud
washed dishes until che was ready to drop.
II there was any disagrceable or exncting
neighborhood duty to DO performed, Miss
Sally was never found Sinking
Every small country place has Miss
Sally, a self constituted, self ordained SIS
ter of mercy, to whom with one accord
all turn in times of trouble and extra cares
Il don't know nothin how I'd manage

"Well, you read It," said John, smiling
to himself, while take another sauce,

Miss Sally reopencd tho letter and found
the place where she had left OF reading.
do you remember your old beau, John
Terry! IIo lives here. He is very rich
man and has been widower thrco years
He asked lots about YOU last time saw
him and said write you he was going east
a-purposo to 500 you."
Miss Sally dropped the letter again. She
scarcely dared look up.
John, having finished his jam, came
over, and putting his arm around her took
her hand In his and kissed 1t tcDdcrly,
thin and rough ns It was.
MY wife IA here, Sally, II you will have

We was foolish, both on US. Lots begin

And so Miss Sally's valentino came to

memory, but dear to the desolate old maid
who held 1t tcnderly in her toilworn hands.
"How happy was," thought Miss
Sally, "the day got it! remember jest
how father laughed when he handed it to
me. Well, we'll, didn't think then that
John and would fall out, and that he'd
90 off out west and marry somebody else.
Pshawl am an old fool There hain't no
fool like an old ono" And Miss Sally re-
turned her valentino to the drawer In
which 1t had reposcd 60 many years, then,
after burning the abominable picture sho
had received, went about her sewing,
grimly resolving sho would waste no more
time on tho past. IN finish Elviry's lot
ter this evening"" She started to the sew
ing machine. "That'll be pleasant way
of passing an hour"
Tho day drew to close. Twilight deep
ened into dusk. Miss Sally made her tea
and sat down to her lonely ev, ming meal.
Occasionally she cast q glance toward Ell
yira's letter, which still lay unread on the
window sill. She wondered what more
there was In 1t about John. At last her
curiosity got the better Of her, md leaving
her second cup of tea untasted she took
up tho letter, and adjusting her spectacles
prepared to read it ut all costs.
1t that moment knock came on her
street door.
Miss Sally laid down the letter and hos
toned to answer tho summons. In the
dusk of the winter evening sho saw man
standing there, tall. we'll built, well
dressed man, who politely lifted his hat
and asked If Miss Sally Staples lived there.
YES, sir, walk In, !" said Miss Sally, all
In fluttcr.
Tho stranger entssed, aud with one
quick glance took in the surroundings,
tho wholesome, meagerly furnished room,
tho frugal supper, the sewing machine.
Then he stole glance at Miss Sally, not
ing tho plain, stiff gown; the poor, thin,
J needle pricked hands; the gentle, kindly,
pathetic face. Then he took step OF two
toward her, and as she gave start and
half terrified exclamation he caught her in
his big brawny arms and cried, Sally,
don't you know your old John!"
And tho windows Of heaven were opened
to poor Miss Sally.
After they had quoted down bit and
talked 1t all over, after Miss Sally had
given John his share of. her tco and toast
and had. moreover, brought out the cara

Good Old St. Valentine Was Not Appre-
ciated Until He Died.
St. Valentino was good man, who lived
in bad city-in cruel old Rome. Flo was
accordingly peFsecutod, and in the reign
Of the Emperor Aurolian the head which
had thought so many noble thoughts for
God and humanity was severed by men
who were not worthy to unloose tho latch

As soon rs Valentine was once dead no
began to he appreciated. All Of us will
amount to moro in the eyes Of our fellows
the day after We breathe our last than at
any tinio In life. 1t was only short time
before he was n,ado full lcdgcd saint
and given place In tho calendar. This
was not far from / 600 years ago.
Now, tho Romans, centuries and CEN
turtles before the Christian era, had feasts
in the month Of February known as the
feasts of the Lupercnlia. One Of the Gus
toms peculiar to these was the putting Of
the names of the young women into box
from which they were drawn by tho young
men as chance directed.
1t Is supposed that this custom origt-
mated from tho habit of the birds in
choosing their mates at that season OF the
year, and that 1t was relic of tho nature
worship common to the primeval races Of
Europe.

the customs OF people, nothing more de-

But tho carly Christian fathers were as
diplomatic us they were devoted, and they
had the good sense to bend to their uses
what they could not extirpate. Finding
1T was all out Of Tho question to induce
their converts to relinquish this favorite
custom, they Just simply Christianized 1t,
as they did tho heathenish rites Of yuletide
into Christmas. They made IL into festi.

In the provinces Of Lorraine and Msinc
In France, and In portions Of England and
Scotland, within less than . century, on

people would get together and write on
bits Of paper tho names Of various young
