The following original and unique little story was written by Minnie Lee Ward, 8 little school girl, just twelve years old She is the bright little daughter of Capt E. c. Ward and Mrs. Ward: 1.-THE LITTLE VALENTINES GIFT"
 Have you any news7" asked the Fairy Beautiful, of little Brownie who came skipping through the grass
 "Yes, l have news that needs a re- ward answered the Brownie.
 What Is t2' asked the Fairy.
 The little Brownie began: When I was on my way to see that the flower in little Miss Blue Eyes window was still beautiful. a big bug Jumped out from behind the blinds.
 T drew my sword and fought him as long as I could, but he was too strong for me, and would have killed me if it had not been for rosebush that I saw I spread my wings and flew behind a lit- tie rose It did not know that was there
 After the bug went away I came to you fast as I could"
 ''The little rose shall have it's reward I will give 1t Beauty, as Valentine for tomorrow is Valentines Day." said the Fairy
 left her.
 He next met the Fairy Fragrant, to whom he told his story The Fairy Frag- rant said: 'I will give Fragrance, as a Valentine, to the little rose." The little Brownie thanked her and then went on.
 He next met the Fairy of Beautiful Names He told her about the little rose, and she said: "I will give the name of American Beauty, as a Valentine. to the little rose"
 then went on,
 He next met the fairy called Dreams He told her the story about the rose, The Fairy Dreams said All these other fairy have given the little rose gifts l will give her a dream, that will tell her about these gifts"
 So that night when the little rose wont to sleep it dreamed that looking a far off is could see lot of beautiful people with wings. The people kept coming nearer and nearer, until at last they were so near that 1t could feel them touch her and hear each one say something to her.
 It also could sec little girl with dark blue eyes, just the color of the sky and in those dark blue eyes, 1t could sec Its own self.
 No longer a faded little rose, but a beautiful fragrant rose.
 It was so happy that it made bounce in the air to find that when it came down again that it was wide awake.
 For all this time it had been dreaming. The little rose was afraid that the dream was not true, and that 1t was the same faded little rose.
 But at that moment little boy with brown eyes came up, and in those brown eyes the little rose could see itself just as in the little blue eyes.
 It was the same beautiful rose
 The Little Brown Eyes plucked the beautiful rose and laid it, with a card at Little Blue Eyes door.
 The card had on 1t: My Valentine, for Little Blue Eyes"
