All, how laughed until cried
Ger Billy's sentimental screed;
Tho we'll / knew the loyal pride
That lay behind it's ill-spelled creed.
Had he not battled for me well,
When once a spiteful boy had said
Tile missed and the word did SPELL
My golden locks were fiery red?"
And had he not-true-hearted boy
Saved up his pence to buy a treat, ..
And then with quaint, transparent Joy,
Laid down the treasure at my feet?
'Tis true scorned his snubby" nose.
His frecliles and his warty hands:
His odd, old-fashioned, homemade clothes
His servile mien at my commands
And with girls strange hayward whim
Behind my checkered pinafore,
] Joined in making sport Of him,
Because myself he did adore.
Poor Billy! years have come and gone
Since last 1 gazed into your eyes,
And saw, like some poor wounded fawn,
Your look of anguish and surprise.
And ! have roamed mid scenes afar,
Have quaffed life's cup unto the lees;
And on my heart is many a scar
OF woundings made by hates DEGREES.
And oft wonder, after all,
If with that little blotted line
That lies beneath times somber pail.
I did not lose MY Valentine"

two from corner to corner, and then,
with a sharp jack-knife, cut the pen
rocks as shown in the picture. When
this is done fasten the two triangular
pieces to the main body of the irkstand,
three inches from each end.
Now give the WI ole inkstand thor
ough sandpapering, and if it has good
grain and "a pretty color coat Of color
less shellac will dress it out the best.
If il is not especially attractive rub it
with walnut or mahogany stain and aft
erward shellac it.
At any stationery or department
store two glass ink wells and glass
sponge cup with square bottoms may be
obtained at small expense. The ink
wells may be fastened by means of four
neat little cleats to each end of the
stand and the sponge cup in the middle
as shown in the picture. If sponge is
not desired the central cup may be used
for pens, rubbers and other little OBJ
jects. This inlstand makes very
pretty gift.-Chicago Record.

A WAND SHE SENT ME VALENTINE"

cried over them. And now she had
found in that old desk material for the
very queerest valentine she had ever
made; and although she liked to share
the fun of making her valentines with
the others, she was little secretive
about that.
What should the paper be but n leaf
from one of the old diaries, one side all
written over in an Uniformed, boyish
hand; and this is what was written on
It, the ink faded by time:
1T cant bare to rite becos hity has the
Fever and 1 cant bare knot to rite hecos
1t semes like telling somebody. she held
mi hand tite when she did knot now eny-
boldly last mite and did knot let them
send me to bed the fellers say II she does
di hav other sisters but they are knot
hity the fellers do knot understand wen
anybody sails she will ever hav a DO like
our agusta hity sails the Tom Tinker verse
and that meens me as Is rote on the 1st
leef of this dry mi name is Thomas Tink-
ham Pigeon hity has gott Temper but so
hav a Good Meny People and she is Good
way inside and she is hity and she and
will alwys liv together but 1 cant bare to
rite eny moro for want to now what the
dokter sails. they say Teller must be A
Man but wen 1t is hity cant bare"
Here the words became illegible on
the old yellow paper; there were blots
and smudges as of tears. Though valen-
tines are supposed to be dainty. Chris
tine didn't try to clean it bit! And on
the unwrittcn side, instead of painting
any of her pretty flowers or drawing
hearts or cupids,, she only wrote "the
Tom Tinker verse" which Kitty had
lovingly quoted to her brother:
tom Tinker's my true love. and am his
dear,
I'll gang along WI him his budget to
bear"
1t certainly was very queer valen-
tine. Christine thought it would prob
ably be returned, even more scornfully
than the Christmas wreath-if Miss
Pigeon should guess who sent it-and
she would be likely to guess that it
came from the Belfry; for she knew that
her brother had given them many of
his belongings.
She sent it with fear and trembling.
and she told none of the others, for the

''In the first place, it's too dreadful
to be true, and in the next place he
would have told us" said Peggy.
But 1t really proved to be true. Mr..
Pigeons sister-his own sister!-had
gone to law TO obtain share Of her
grandfather's estate, which he had
failed to bequeath to her because she
had gone contrary to his wishes In
some way, and the only share that she
would have was that old estate on
Pippin Hill. Perhaps the law might
force her to take something else as
her share, since he had held possess
sion there SO long; but she was Kitty,
and he should give it up to her. That
was what Mr.. Pigeon said in answer
to the indignant circumstances of the
Bells. She was Kitty; that was all
he would say; perhaps it wasn't much
of a reason, but the Bells understood.
We all know what it is to give up things
to people just because they are ky
or Polly or John.
So it happened that the Bells dear
Mr.. Pigeon went away to little house
that he owned down at PequanSet Mills
and Miss Mehitable Pigeon came to live
at the old place on Pippin Hill and
owned half of the high-top sweeting
tree.
And the very first thing she did
it was September when she came-was
to threaten to have Tommy Bell ar
rested, because when he shook their
side of the tree her side shook too, and
she said the top of the tree leaned to-
ward their side and more apples fell
there, so when the apples were picked
and divided she must have an extra
bushel. She threatened to have their
yellow kitten drowned because he
scampered after the flying leaves in her
garden, and, she did have their cross
gobbler killed because it ran after her
red morning gown, as gobbler will,
you know, and gobbled at her. He
wasn't much loss, and she sent him home
plucked and dressed, with the message
that she should have eaten him if she
had not feared he would be tough.
She complained that Becky's peacock
squawked and Dicky's guinea pigs
squeaked, and the vane on their stable
had "a rusty squeak" that kept her
awake nights; and if one of the little
Bells mounted the fence she came out
and ''shooed" him off as if he were a
chicken.
Christine, who was inclined to look on
the bright side and to think well of every
one, said that she would probably grow
better when they got better acquainted,
and she gave Tommy and little Rufus
five cents each not to use their bean
singers over the fence or make faces
through the knothole.

hard pine or cherry or butternut, the
last of which is especially desirable.
AS you will see, the bookcase is very
simple in construction. There are
four parts-two end pieces and two
side pieces, or shelves. Wood n half
inch thick will do very well. Have ID
neatly and smoothly planed on both
sides and Of size large enough to
make the various pieces of the dimen-
sions shown in the picture. In the end
pieces the grain of the wood should
run lengthwise from G to ID, thus pre-
venting splitting. The height from
A TO is six inches. Draw perfect
diagram of the end pieces on the board,
taking care to have every measurement
exact. If you have scroll saw you
can readily follow the lines and cut
out the end pieces; but il you haven't,
saw with an ordinary saw as nearly to
the lines as possible and trim off the
sharp. corners with your jaclS-knife.
The sides of the two small Sits may be
cut with saw and broken out with
chiscl.
Next make two connecting pieces, or
shelves. AS shown in the picture, they
are IS inches long by 2H inches wide,
and when they are completed they
should fit snugly into the end pieces
and remain solid without nails. The
bookcase is now complete, so far as
your jaclt-knife is concerned. With
bits of broken glass and sand-paper
smooth Off the joints and corners and
polish the wood smooth. If you like,
you may give it coat OF oil or shellac
varnish, and it may be still further or
namented with neatly carved design
on the ends, or studded with brass nails,
to suit your fancy. This makes an ex-
ceedingly convenient and handsome
bookcase, which will occupy only
small space, and which in moving can
be readily taken apart and packed.
Try it and see If you don't like it.
Another very neat and pretty object
which any boy can make is wooden
inkstand and penrack. To make it
get two pieces of wood one-fourth to
three-eighths of an inch in thickness,
ten inches long by four inches broad.
Fasten the two together with fine brads
so as to form a right angle. Now, take
another piece of wood Of the same thick

AN ANCIENT DOLL.
Brought from China by u Sea Captain
III Years Ago.

Brought from China by Sea Captain
l71 Years Ago.
One of the quaintest and prettiest
dolls to be seen anywhere is preserved
at Reading, Mass, and here is where
dolls have the advantage of real human
beings though she is the oldest doll
in America, she does not show her age
ut all, except in the matter of dress,
and is just MS charming as when Capt.
Gamaliel Hodges brought her home to
his little daughter at Salem, Mass,
when he returned from voyage to Cam
ton, China.

style, but history does not record just
how this tiny counterfeit of woman
was originally attired. What we do
know is that when she came to America
we had no direct trade with any dis
tant ports of the world, for everybody
here was u subject of King George,
md no one had ever heard of the Star
Spangled Banner.
This little doll, therefore. has looked
upon the most remarkable events of
modern times, and it has not even aged
her. When the war of the revolution
was inaugurated she had already passed
through the hands of several genera
tions, and was really entitled to all the

But instead of growing better their
new neighbor grew worse. She had the
mutual fence built up ten feet high, she
had the branches of the sweeting tree
Topped off where they interfered with
the fence, and Christine's seat thrown
down to the ground so roughly that it
was broken. She said she had let peo-
pie impose upon her all her life, and she
wasn't going to any more. .y.
Papa Bell, who was an easy man and
absorbed in his business, said he sup
posed that so many children and squeak
ing things did make them troublesome
neighbors; but he thought they should
have to demonstrate with Miss Pigeon
about the fence, because it took away so
much of their sunshine. Christine begged
him to wait; she always would believe
that people were going to be better, and
she knew there must be something good
about Miss Pigeon because she looked
like her brother-"only the twist
seemed to be in her mind, poor thing!"
1t was November when Christine's
seat was thrown out of the tree, so she
could nothave used it any more that sea-
son any way; and when anyone asked her
how she was going to do without it in
the spring, she always answered.: per
haps Miss Kitty will be good by that
time" But that transformation didn't
seem in the least likely to anyone else.
She never forgot that Mr.. Pigeon had
said she was Kitty, though how she
could ever be Kitty to anybody was more
than the other young Bells could under
stand. ~ t#aa. aaaa aa
Christine would bow to her, too. and
smile. shyly, although Miss Pigeon only
scowled dreadfully in response. Far
more difficult to forgive than their own
wrongs was the injury she had inflicted
upon her brother. He wrote to them
doleful letters which showed plainly
how homesicll he was for the good air
and the goodfellowship of Pippin Hill.
One OF the neighbors who saw him at
Pequanket said one would hardly know
him-he had "pined away" so.
After that little Rufus (honorably)

returned the five cents to Christine, be-
cause he knew he should yield to the
temptation to make faces through the
knothole again.
Christine turned little pale when she
heard this about Mr.. Pigeon, and she
put on her thinking cap. She couldn't
go to school like the others, she couldn't
go skating; in fact, there were so many
things she couldn't do that it would
have been very discouraging to one who
believes less firmly than Christine did
that things as well as people were going
to be better; but that gave her all the
more time to wear her thinking cap.
And Christmas thoughts were pretty
apt to blossom into deeds some way.
Christine had made the Christmas
wreaths of evergreen and holly from
their own Pippin Hill woods, and she
had sent two beauties to Miss Pigeon,
who had promptly returned them with
the message that she didn't want such
rubbish littering up her house. Now
when they heard that sad news from Mr..
Pigeon she was making valentines. She
had very dainty knack with both PEN
Gil and brush, for 14-year-old girl, and
her valentines were more beautiful
than any that could be bought in the
shops, or so the Bloomsboro' young peo-
pie all thought.
The fashion of sending valen tines
might wane elsewhere, but it always
flourished in Bloomsboro perhaps be-
cause Christine Bell kept it up. She
sent them to the very last people who
expected to have valentine-to neg
lected old people and forlorn sick peo-
pie, TO Biddy Mcguire, just from the
old country, and kilt" with homesick-
ness, and to Antony Burke, the old
miser, for whom no one had civil
word and who, perhaps, didn't deserve
one. And for every valentine that was
disregarded or thrown impatiently
aside, dozen made little warmth and
comfort in sad heart; for nobody has
yet begun to understand how great is
the day of small things.
Christine was more mysterious than
usual this year about her valentines;
she colored when Peggy said she would
better send one to Miss Pigeon, but they
never thought she would; they thought
she was only sensitive about her Christ
mas wreath. When Mr.. Pigeon went
away he gave Christine an old desk that
he had had ever since he was a boy. 1t
had initials and hearts and anchors cut
into 1t and was whitfield at every cor
ner; you would have known If you'd
seen it anywhere that 1t had belonged
to q boy. But Christine would have it
in her own room; she thought it was
beautiful. 1t had his boy-letters and
diaries in it, and she had laughed and

respect due very venerableperson. She
was much older than Gen. Washington
when he became the president of the
United Colonies, and Gen. Lafayette
must have seemed mere boy to her.
The events of the war of 1912 found her
approaching her hundredth year, and
each succeeding decade has added tres
mendously to the weight of her eX-
perience. ...s wI aH T..
During all this time the doll was
passed on from one person to another,
evidently receiving the best treatment
from each successive owner = unusual
beauty and strange history saving her
from the sad fate of SO many of her
sort
