a spinster, swing alone in her little
white and f.reen house at the end Of
she long village street. Had she been
given 10 such vulgar Boosting she
could have told her friends that she
had had plenty Of chances" Indeed, it
would have taken all of the fingers and
even the thumb of her plump right
hand for Hetty Dryden TO have count
ed up the offers she had had right
there in Hebron during the past 20
years. More than one elderly widOwer
had gone disconsolately from her gate
during even the last five years, cha
grined and rebellious because Miss Het-
" firmly, but kindly, declined to
change her name.
The last rejected sutton had been
Hiram Dyer, a widower of but eight
months and the possessor of eight saw
full" children who had undoubtedly
been largely instrumental in worrying
and wearying their poor mother into
her grave.
''Mebbe this is from Hiram Dyer"
Hetty Dryden said, as she shipped off
the end of the envelope containing the
valentine. 'He said I'd hear from him
again. If I felt sure it came from him,
I'd send il back. don't want him nor
his valentine, either"
The valentine that Miss Hetty drew
from the envelope was not made of
paper lace and tinsel and embossed
doves and flowers. 1t was instead a
squarly-folded sheet Of blue lined note
paper, on which was written in an evil
IDENTIFY disguised hand:
This night at eight,
For to know his fate,
Your valentine will wait
At your front gate.
If from your east window
A light doth shine,
He viii enter in
To claim his valentine.
II all is dark
He viii go away,
Leaving forever unsaid
What he wants to say.
o, be not cruel nor unkind,
But let a light shine
For your valentine"
The flush in Hetty Dryden's cheeks
deepened as she let the bit of paper
fall TO her lap.
"Such nonsense! I'd probably never
hear the end Of it if I was goose enough
TO really set light in my east win
dow. But I'm not going TO. Seems to
me I've seen writing like that be
fore"
She held the sheet of paper out and
looked at it quizzically, with her head
] twisted a little on one side.

man in his right mind would do any
thing so silly as to make up jingle like

-ier," she said, you have letter for
me, haven't you?"
Joey's smile developed into an actual
grin, IS he said:
Nom, II amt no letter. It's some
thing better than a letter"
He had been Juggling away at his
REFER with his mittened hands as he
spoke, and he now brought out q large,
ss~ere, deliberately embossed envelope,
addressed in. an apparently disguised
hand 10 Miss Hetty Dryden.
THERE said joey, triumPhantly, as
he held out the envelope; who do you
reckon sent it,"
~Some one with little 10 DO" said
Miss Hetty. rather severely. She was
far from being acrid or severe in her
speech. but she felt rather annoyed as
she locked at the missive in her hand.
Some one. she thought, was taking lib
critics with her, or. perhaps, holding
her up 10 ridicule, and, kind and gentle
as sae was. she had spirit enough 10
resent either ofense.
"Why don't YOU open it?'' asked joey.
~Oh. I viii presently" she said.
She got Joey a seed caAe and he went
on his way, disappointed and little re-
bellious because Miss Hetty had not
opened the envelope containing the val
entine IN his presence.
Hetty sat down by her work table and
took a pair Of small, shining scissors
from her workbasket. The frOwn had
come back 10 her face, which still had
a youthful look. although she would
be 80 her next birthday. There were
but few strands Of gray in the shining
brown hair lying in natural waves over
her white temples. She had not yet
scorne 10 glasses. and the little excite
ment Of receiving the valentine had
filed her brown eyes with sparkle
and brightness and brought a flush
20 her cheeks that made Miss Betty
q very pretty woman al that moment.
Indeed there were those in the village
who declared that Hetty Dryden was
q "m .ghiy good-lool1in' woman" at any
tine ]. was ba- choice that she was

ne meant it. just wonder who did
write that?"
When a wOman's curiosity is fully
aroused, nothing but the facts in the
case will satisfy her, and Miss Hetty
was annoyed to find herself growing
more and more curious regarding the
identity of the sender of the valen-
tine.
It'd be serving him right if I set a
light IN my window to lure him on,
and then dash a dipper of cold water
0yer him when he came TO the door,"
she said. with unwonted severity. Il
Just ought to-nOw that writing does
look kind o. familiar, even if it is wrote
back-handed with a view to conceal
ing it."
She had slipped the sheet of paper
into a drawer Of her workable, and
now she took it out and looked at it
again.
I've seen that writing before" she
said positively. 'Now I'm just going to
set here an look at it until I've stud
fed it out where I've seen it."
She put aside her sewing and sat
very still gazing at the sheet Of paper
spread out in her lap. Having once
formed a resolution, Hetty Dryden
chung TO il tenaciously, even though it
was of trifing Importance. For fully
ten minutes she sat looking at the writ
ing in different lights. Then a sug-
gestion Of a smile came into her face,
and her eyes twinkied merrily. She
laid the letter on her table and walked
across the exquisitely neat little room
TO an old-fashioned mahogany book
case. Opening the glass door of the
bookcase, Miss Hetty stepped upon a
hassock and took down n small vol
une Of Byron's poems bound in green
and gold. Opening the book, she read
on the yellow-tinted flyleaf:
"To Miss Hetty Dryden. with many
good wishes for a merry Christmas and
. happy New Year, from her friend
and well wisher, Jared II. Lawson"
The writing was eight years old, and
Hetty had not looked at it for at least

Opposition Developing 70 That An
cient and Tortuflng Custom

Opposition Developing 70 That An
Client and Tortsring Cussou~
Some influential Cinnamon arc now
advocating the abolition OF that ehock-
ing and cruel custom Of foot binding 80
prevalent in the celestial empire. How
common this custom Is In China and
how fatal to the welfare OF the women
Is little appreciated In America. Some
Chinese girls are permitted to go with
unbound feet until they are years
old, when the time arrives for tho
bandaSing process to begin, and the
golden lilies" as these deformed feet
are called. must be nodded. The BAN
dage used for this purpose Is made OF
substantial! webbing two and one-half
inches wide. The process consists prac-
t.cally In doubling the toes and heels
together, with the toes, except the big
object has been accomplished, and the
foot Is encased In the tiny shoe, stand
upon the tip OF the heel and the tip OF
the big toe. This, Of course. cannot be
accomplished at once, but 1t Is the
product Of long and torturing ordeal.
At first the bandages are applied rather
loose, but periodically they are drawn
tighter and tighter, as the feet yield to
the pressure of the webbing. The heel.
when the foot Is encased in the shoe.
rests on tiny platform OF wood fitted
above and behind the heel for that pur-
pose. The suffering endured by the
victim during the process Is beyond De-
scription, and 1t Is not an uncommon
occurrence for outraged nature to pro-
test, and such a diseased condition OK
the feet to ensue as to render neces-
sary their amputation. Sometimes the
children will not submit to the opera
ton, and their obstinacy results In
saving the feet. Many children cry
through the long hours OF the night
and bring on various nerve troubles.
The New York Tribune states that feet
are bound to a smaller size In Foochow
than In any other part Of China, for
the fashionable shoe is only two and
half inches long, and the consequent
assure where tho sole Of the
foot should be is about three
inches deep. The feet OF a Chinese
woman WELD an important influence
over her life. When she is to be be-
trothed the size OF her feet must be
ascertained for the sutton, and great
is the disappointment il the brides
feet prove larger than anticipated.
When the wedding day arrives the
bride draws the bandages as snugly as
possible The soles OF the tiny shoes
are purchased with holes ready made
in the wood near the border. In order
that the wearer may embroider the
shoes and stitch them to the wooden
soles for the women make their own
shoes.

Army.

Vair-8AlfoA EAxon Typo xEovsnS IN s"s
Army.
The Saxon type prevails throughout
our active fighting forces; at least, 1t
so appears to the mere eye-observer,
whatever the records may show. A
newspaper correspondent, now IN Bos-
ton, called my attention to this at San
Fernando, ia the interior OF Luzon, and
had myself noticed and spoken OF it.
Everywhere the pale blue or gray eye.
everywhere the fai! skin. everywhere
the tawny hair and beard. In Cehu,
Panay, Negroes, and Sulu the same
phenomenon, writes Senator Bever-
idge. In many instances the boards
have been allowed to grow. and OBJ
servances were startlingiy struck with
the resemblance wh!ch these fierce
looking bearded men-boys In years
bore to the old pictures In our primary
school histories OF twenty-five years
ago, and Of the descriptions which &C
companied them. The Saxon type Is as
conspicuous In the Philippines as the
flag Itself. or course, the dark hair
and eye are there, too. Three OF the
most daring and enduring soldiers
met were OF that type, but the general
Impression is distinctly fairness in
hair and lightness in eye. This calls
to mind the homogeneity OF the people
Of the republic One might well expect
w. "
Dakotas, Nebraska and Kansas; but
he who has not followed chronological
currents In America would have ex-
pected that the southern troops would
have been quite a different type. And
yet. in the Tennessee troops in 1lo'lo
was found precisely the same type as
In the Dakota troops at San Fernando.

DOCTOR AND PREACHER.

A Noted Ante Bsllum Character Who

"One Of the noted ante-bellum char

was DR.. McKane, who lived between
Washington and Augusta. He was a
physician Of the old school. ana being
also a man Of strong religious views.
be was In the habit Of occasionally
preaching in the rural churches. Physi-
cally McKane was a giant, and II he
failed to convert sinner By word OF
mouth he was not averse TO finishing
the argument with his flsts; 60. need
less to say, his PROSECUTING was singu-
larly successful. One Sunday, as the
story goes. he drove to a neighborins
village for the purpose of holding serv-
ices, and was met as he descended
from his buggy by the local black
smith, who was the bully OF tho COM
munity. The blacksmith had heard OF
the doctors prowess. and, regarding
his presence as a menace to his own
prestige, decided not to let him
preach. Well, stranger. who be y,
anyhow? he asked as starter. plant
Ing himself in the visitors path. My
name is McKane.' replied the doctor,
and I've come to hold meeting in the
church yonder.' My name Is Bill
Williams said the blacksmith, and
I'm here to tell y that y can't hold NO
meetin in this town today That's
something we'd best settle Immediate
ly,' said McKane. with perfect cool
ness, and proceeded to pull off his coat.
The blacksmith had the advantage OF
brute strength, but McKane was q
skilliul boxer, and after few swift
passes he saw an opening and knocked
his man down. The bully got up raw
ing and was promptly floored again.
The third time McKane stretched his
adversary out he jumped on his chest
and began smuggling him about the
face. Hold on. beloved the black
smith, splitting out a couple of teeth.
I've gotter .'nuff!' DO preach hero
today?' asked McKane, landing a stif{
punch on his nose. Yes! yes!' yelled
the other; preach all y want to-
And will you come and hear me?'
continued the doctor, hitting him q
terrific lick in the eye. Yes! III comet
All right, brother said the fighting
parson, rising and wiping his hands:
the services will begin at 10 sharp.
The blacksmith kept his word and was
on the front bench. They say he after
ward became a class leader"

SHE COULD DABBLE; TOO.
How a Woman Broke Hor Husband Of
Taking Risks in the Stock Market.

Taking Risks in the Stock Market.
He was business man making q
nice little sum every year for nest-egg
purposes, besides extending his bust
ness and slowly but surely moving
along toward Easy street. Yet he
was not content, and in the hope Of
forcing the hand of fortune, was doing
some trading in the stock market. His
wife said it was gambling. pleading
with him to stop. He insisted that it
was perfectly legitimate and regular,
and she finally admitted that he was
right and gave up the contest.
His wife gave him no further trouble
until one Sunday morning she APP
pearel ready for church in handsome
new cloak. ewanted to know where
she got it, and she told him that he
would learn by aud Try. He went to
church with her, feeling uncomfort-
able. He kept his peace, however,
and said no more until the next Sun
day, when she appeared in rich black
silk gown. He asked questions, but
got no answers that were satisfying.
All that week he worried so over that
cloak and the silk that he lost his
grip on the market and fell short
seriously. Sunday came again, and
this time she had pair of diamonds
in her ears that fairly dazzled his eyes.
He hadn't spark Of jealousy in his
nature and he believed implicitly in
his wife, but this was really too much.
She calmly took from her desk lot
of blanks with which he was quite
familiar, and handed them to him.
"They are the records of my trans
actions in stocks recently she said,
with an air OF triumph. II borrowed
$50 on the diamond ring you gave me

after the manner of women, began to
cry, she was SO glad that it turned out
just as it did.
