the dear little woman saw that not one of the huge box full had been for her. Moth- CT was so far away at home, and the hurt must De borne all alone She looked to see if others had been forgotten. Yes, just one other forlorn looking little face indi- cated that none had come to her.
 Quickly the darling turned her eyes upon the book on her desk, and though the lips quivered, she bravely repressed the tears and tried to study diligently. Many times though, through the day the sad little heart ached ito remember that she failed to get a valentine.
 Later when home from school and the oldei brother and sisters showed the Deautles they received, she said in a faltering voice: "I didn't get any" It was harder to keep back the tears that time, for she saw sym pathy in mothers eyes; but with her arms about her very tight she said with just little quaver in her voice: 'I didn't mind it much.'
 Hut, bless her little heart! mother knew the hurt -es3
 In after years real sorrows may come and disappointments of serious nature, Dut 'tis doubtful that the pang will be so keen Probably for the building of perfect char acters, such lessons are needed; but. oh that we could save the babies all heart- aches.

A Valentine Disappointment

dear unselfish little girl went home from school on Tuesday greatly excited over the fact that the next day would be valentine day, and that the teacher of her grade who in her opinion was quite the best and incest teacher in the world had promised the children they should have a box post office right there in the schoolroom, for the purpose of distributing the little mes- sages of love to one another.
 "Oh. mother" she exclaimed eagerly, T shall make ever so many pretty ones. Won't you show me how and help me make some real nice ones?'
 The mother assented, and the older broth- CT and sisters also became interested, for each had some particular friends to whom they wished to send valentines, and each thought of appropriate little messages and of pretty devices for making the dainty bearers of sweet words.
 After the lessons were learned, the table was cleared of books. and all worked away till very late hour, when large number were completed. The little maiden was es- pecially happy to have so many of her very own to send to friends She chose one or two boys, and as many girls, of whom she was particularly fond, and directed one to each of them. Suddenly thought came to her of how very, very bad it would be if any child should fail to receive one She im- mediately announced to her coadjutors that sine would direct no more to the nice girls whom she loved, but would send all she had left to those less popular children, who might. through some inadventure, be over- looked.
 With her sweet face wreathed in happy smiles, she planned wisely that no single child. not even the poorest scholar in the room. should be without a valentine, and at last fully satisfied over her share in the preparation for the morrows pleasure, she went to bed.
 Next morning off to school she ran, skip ping and jumping merrily. Gaily she dropped fher little missives into the box on the teachers desk
 Then came the fun of distributing. she heard name after name called out, saw her own treasures presented, and experienced the thrill of pleasure that accompanies generous act, as the faces of the recipients of her gifts lighted with appreciation at being remembered
 Over half the long list of names had been called: some had been called five or six times. and still she had not heard her own She began to wonder If there was one for her. Anxiously she watched and listened. Even a comic one would be bet ter than to be entirely left out
 At last all the valentines were gone, and

A STRANGE OCCURRENCE.

After this a bit of color came into his cheeks, his hand grew steadier, and he said fo Marston:
 Now for it, Marsey."
 "Now for what?" asked Marston.
 You've something to tell me-"
 "Yes," replied Marston gravely. "H is sad news to greet You with. I had oabegram yesterday-
 '"To say that our mother is dead" inter- rupted Harry.
 Harry" exclaimed his brother, putting his arm around the young mans shoulders. How did you hear? Who told you? Pull yourself together man!' for Harry's chest was heaving convulsively.
 "The dear, dear mother-came herself and told mer' he said gaspingly. "At Il o'clock on Thursday night-Jack and were playing cards with some fellows-when I felt that some one stood beside mel glanced up-ahd plainly as I see you now l saw our mother. She stood for an tn- stant-emdling at me-Iheard her say. 'Good-by, my darling boyv-and then she was gone-and I knew then for certainty that she was dead! Jack remembers. .'
 The caibleguam which Marston showed was dated Weir,hurst, October IS, signed Austin Weir, my friends younger brother, and read:
 Mother died at 8 o'clock thfs morning (the same horr, allowing for difference in time, at which Harry had been aware of his mothers presence) from a fall received while riding yesterday
 This, then, was the explanation of Harry's singular conduct! Bewildering and extraordinary as his story seemed, we could not in tihe face of such convincing evidence set it down las mere illusion, nor doubt that by some means tnexplicable to us, the knowledge of him at the moment it occurred. This being true, shall we re- fuse to go step further ?-wilich Is, after all, not step farther, but part and par eel of the same phenomenon, so-called, and believe that she was actually visible to some sense in Harry which, until there was occasion for its use, he knew not that he poSSessed.
