We were waiting and waiting, but Ten
nyson did not appear. Stanley sug-
gested that we should not wait any lon
ger. but the Queen refused to sit down
before the great poets arrival. At last
it was suggested that Tennyson might
be incoming about in the Cloisters. and
SO he was. He was caught, and was
placed next to the Queen. The Queen
knew wonderfully how to hide her
crown. and put everybody at their ease.
She took the conversation into her own
hands, and kept the ball rolling during
the whole luncheon. He was evidently
in low spirits, and, sitting next to him,
I could hear how to every question the
Queen addressed him he answered Yes,
Ma'am,' No Ma'am,' and at last, by
great effort, 'Ma'am there is good
deal to be said on both sides of the
question: He then turned to me and
said in a whisper, but loud whisper:

all bordered with flowers and a verse
of poetry in the middle. George, DO
you know anything about poetry? Not
the kind we have in the price current,
but genuine poetry without even a sug
gestion of soap or patent medicine
Here they were interrupted by the
selector, who was in a quandary over
one of the orders Mr.. Selle-, had copied.
This order" said the selector, calls
for five dozen rose valentines"
Rose valentines, rose valentines. Let
me see," he said, as he turned to the
letter file to consult the merchants let
ter. well, you may change that to
'rosei vases made an error in copying
the ORDER
The selector departed and Mr.. Graves
ventured to hand Mr.. Seller the letter
he had received from Miss Hill.
An awful silence followed. Then the
big merchant rose from his chair. oper-
ed one of the drawers of his desk, and
carefully took from it a package.
George" he said very slowly, his
voice betraying a slight tremor, here
are one dozen valentines; they are the
very latest thing out, so the stationer
told me, and as l will have no further
use for them, you can have them on
the usual terms allowed employes-1O
per cent. above cost
The bookkeeper took the preferred
valentines and quickly returned to his
desk. Mr.. Seller leaned on the back of
his chair as if for support and stared
blankly out into the busy street.
We'll, now have played the DEVIL"
he muttered after short pause, and
then he dropped into his seat and the
business of Seller & Seller moved along
with it's accustomed smoothness.
The record-union., 1899-02-26

Mr.. Graves quickly removed his over
coat and hat and sought solace in the
may figures on the pages of the led
ger while Mr.. Seller wheeled round i'll
his chair and again turned his atten-
ton to the morning mail. In the great
pile of letters he spied a square, pink,
envelope It was addressed to George
Graves, Esq, care of Seller & Seller.
George he said. as he ficked the
envelope across to the bookkeeper's
desk; you had better have your mail
addressed to your street and number;
have enough to do looking after the
business correspondence without being
bothered with your private letters
81 will" Mr. Graves meekly replied,
placing the letter in his pocket.
In short time he discovered another
square, pink envelope addressed to
Seller & Seller This he opened. and
Mr.. Graves, who happened to glance
that way thought he acted rather
oddly He imagined there was merry
twinkle in the big fat fellows dull
looking little eyes, and he was almost
certain that the suggestion of smile
played around the corners of his
mouth His countenance, however,
soon wore it's accustomed serious look
and he bent over and picked up the
little pink envelope from the waste
basket and closely scrutinized the ad-
dress. What followed came near caus
ing Mr.. Graves to drop off his stool,
paralyzed. Mr.. Seller put his hand to
his mouth and gave wheezy laugh,
just as he had done on that memorable
morning some twenty years ago.
Then Mr.. Seller began series of
strange actions, the like of which the
employees had never witnessed before.
He Immediately assumed a gay, friv-
olous air, even becoming boyish in his
gayety He rushed out into the stock
room and chatted with Mr.. LipDman,
and then went down into the packing
room and spoke to Jim" the packer.
This was the first time he had ever ad-
dressed the packer during the twelve
years he had been in the employ OF the
firm, and he was so startled that he let
fall a valuable Dresden vase and it
broke into a thousand pieces. Mr.. Seller
laughed and said pleasantly:
Accidents will happen, you know
The record-union., 1899-02-26

and then went back to the Office and
slapped the bookkeeper on the shoulder.
George, am going up town for a
few minutes and 1 will have to ask you
to look after the correspondence and at
tend to copying the ORDERS
Then his big, round form disappeared
through the doorway and the employees
gathered in the sample room to discuss
the cause of his strange actions, while
Mr.. Graves took advantage of his alb
sence and broke that portion of Rule 10
that referred to letter-reading during
business hours
And this is what he read:
Seller & Seller-Gentlemen On ac-
count of having contracted a severe
cold last night, 1 will be unable to re-
port at the office to-day Yours truly,
SUSIE HILL"
Miss Hill had placed the letter in
tended for Mr.. Seller in an envelope
addressed to Mr.. Graves, and he at
once came to the conclusion that the
contents of the little pink envelope that
had afforded his employer so much
amusement, was intended for him
He had just started to ask Mr. Lspp-
man for advice in the matter when Mr..
Seller returned and dropped a package
into one of the drawers in his desk.
Then he turned to Mr.. Graves and
said:
George, did you get any valentines
this year?"
mo" answered the bookkeeper rather
timidly, but this morning received a
letter.
Yes, yes interrupted Mr. Seller,
but valentines, George, valentines.
Letters, you know, come most every
day in the year.
But there was a slight mistake in
the letter I received this morning, the
party having
'Ha, ha, ha! I understand, having
failed to put in a valentine
well, not exactly continued Mr.
Graves, but put the wrong letter in
the envelope directed to me and the
valentine in the letter directed to-"
THE other fellow, fa, ha, ha! That's
the way they have been doing me for
the past forty years-until to-day-but
to-day got one. It's a beauty, George,
