When Webster Davis came back to

many leading republicans over the
country that Webster Davis was not

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. snow 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 resolution, Hetty Dryden
chung to it tenaciously, even though it
was of trifling 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 twinkled 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 a small vol
ume of Byron's poems bound in green
and gold. Opening the book, she read
on the yellow-tinted fy-leaf:
"To Miss Hetty Dryden, with many
good wishes for a merry Christmas and
happy New Year, from her friend
and well wisher, Jared H. lawson"
The writing was eight years old, and

eyes rested on it she said with convic-
ton:
1T is the same.'
Taking the book over to her work
table and sitting down again, she laid
the sheet Of note paper down by the
fly leaf on which the inscription was
written.
'sYes, sir; Jared lawson" she said,
you wrote them both. The capital let
tiers are just alike in both of them, al
though you have tried to disguise your
writing in your precious jingling po-
etry. I've found you out, you great
goose, you!" =.
But there was smile on her face
and kindly light in her eyes as she
spoke the unfattering words.
Jared lawson was proprietor of the
only news or periodical stand in the
town. He was a short, slightly portly
man, rather bald, with smooth, plump
and kindly face. His blue eyes be.ok-

almost womanly gentleness of spirit

An Old SuperstitiOn.

In series of essays published in
1745-6, called the Connoisseur, a
young woman writes: Last Friday
was Valentines day, and the night be-
fore I took five bay leaves, pinned four
of them to the four corners of my pill
low, and the fifth to the center; then, if
I dreamt of my sweetheart, Betty said
we should be married before the year
was out. But to make it more sure, I
boiled egg hard, took out the yolk,
filled it with salt, and when I went to
bed ate it, shell and all, without speak
ing or drinking after it. We also wrote
our lovers names and rolled them up
in clay, and put them in water; and
the first that rose up was to be our val
entine. Would you think it? Mr.. Bios
som was my man! I lay a-bed and
shut my eyes all the morning, for
would not have seen another man be-
fore him for all the world" Shakes

who died in 144O, all mention St. Valen-

Joey's smile developed into an actual
grin, as he said:
"No'm, it amt no letter. It's some
thing better than letter."
He had been Juggling away at his
REFER with his mittened hands as he
spoke, and he now brought out a large,
square, elaborately embossed envelope,
addressed in an apparently disguised
hand to Miss Hetty Dryden.
'tThere!" said Joey, triumphantly, as
he held out the envelope; "who do you
reckon sent it?''
"Some one with little to do" said
Miss Hetty, rather severely. She was
far from being acrid or severe in her
speech, but she felt rather annoyed as
she looked at the missive in her hand.
Some one, she thought, was taking lib
>erties. with her, or, perhaps, holding
her up to ridicule, and, kind and gentle
as she was, she had spirit enough to
resent either offense.
''Why don't you open ?" asked Joey.
'Oh, will presently" she said.
She got Joey seed cake and he went
ON his way, disappointed and little re-
ibellious 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 to her face, which still had
a youthful look, although she would
he 80 her next birthday. There were
sbut few strands of gray in the shining

her white temples. She had not yet

ment Of receiving the valentine had
filled, her brown eyes with sparkle
and brightness and brought: a flush
to- her. cheeks that made Miss Hetty
a very pretty woman at that moment.
Indeed there were those in the village
who declared that Hetty Dryden was
a mighty goodlookin' woman" at any
time. It was her choice that she was
spinster, living alone in her little
white and green house at the end of
the long village street. Had she been
given to such vulgar boasting 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-

years. More than one elderly widower
had gone disconsolately from her gate
during even the last five years, cha

. It was held to be true that Jared had
not married because he couldn't leave
mother" and because he very well
knew that no woman could live hap
PLY with her.
The old lady had now been dead six
months and Jared was living alone in
the four rooms his mother and he had
for years occupied above his store. It
was a lonely and unsatisfactory life for
man of Jared's home-loving and
strongly domestic instincts to lead.
"Poor Jared!" said Miss Hetty, as
she read the jingling rhyme for the
fourth time. "He must be dreadful
lonesome since his mother died. He's
good man, Jared is. Any man who
will be as good as he was to that fretful,
trying old mother of his for IS years
is a mighty good man. was there a
lot during the old lady's last illness and
it was wonderful how gentle and pa

would be more comfortable here than
in those four little rooms he's been
patching in over his store. And +

She sat for a long time with her
hands crossed in her lap and sweetly
serious, almost wistful expression on
her face.
At five minutes before eight short,
rather stout man was standing at Miss
Hetty's gate looking toward the VIM
dow in her east room. There was no
light in the window.
I'm an old fool to think woman
like her would set light in her win
dow for any man, as hint for him to
come in and propose to her." said the
man to himself. II wish I'd signed my
name to my fool rhyme, or that I had
the courage to go in. If there isn't q
light in that window by eight o'clock
I'll go in and own up that sent her
that valentine. A man that hasn't the
courage to ask woman to marry him,
don't deserve her and-glory halleloo-
yer!"
A bright ray of light came stream"
ing across the snow from the window
of the east room. Jared Lawson tugged
at the gate, which did not open readily,
and finally he climbed over the low
fence and ran toward the door calling
out like happy child.
"Hetty! Hetty! o, Hetty!"
The door opened before he reached
it and Hetty stood there in the light in
a cherry colored gown and snowy white
apron, a smile on her face and her eyes
shining.
Jared's voice trembled and there was
suggestion of fear in it as he said:
20, Hetty, it is I-Jared lawson"
II know it, jared" said Hetty, laugh
ingly.
"And you put that light in the win
dow for me, Hetty?"
"For you, Jared"
30, Hetty! God bless you, my-my
-dear!'
He reached out his hand to clasp her
own and to hold it to his lips. Then
they went into the house together with
the light of newborn love radiating
from their hearts and faces.-Morris
Wade, in Detroit Free Press.
