digestion. Besides there's that

him, and I've tried 'em. Now I'll go
back to old Mrs. Prys boarding house,

the CRATE fire and the memberships

up on the fourteenth of February, and
on the fourteenth Of February I'll go!'
The Major was a stout short old
gentleman, with a shining bald head,
a bumpy forehead, light-blue eyes,
which always seemed as if they would
touch his spectacle glasses, and frost
white mustache He was an inVeter-
ate old bachelor, with all the subtle
ways and habits of old bachelorhood,
and had money to leave-at least so
said the tongue OF popular rumor-
and he had also a furtive suspicion
that all the ladies were in league
against his single blessedness.
I'm write to Mrs. Pry," said the
Major; and accordingly he sat down
and wrote, succinctly:
My Dear Madam: l am heartily
sick of this sort of life. Will you
take me? If it isn't convenient don't

Major. Stop minute, Forester;

But Mrs. Pry was making amazon

of the raid which had been made upon

"Parthenia-that was the name"

and sunshiny, with hard-frozen snow
crusting all the streets, and a silver
fringe of icicles on all the caves and

hard at the letter which the morning
mail brought her.

"A letter from Major Midgefield,"
said Miss Adela Forester, who was a
tall, black-browed beauty, with cherry
lips and good high spirit of her own.
And he wants to know II / will take
him."
Nonsense" said Mamma Forester,
who was buttering Vienna roll with
the serenest calm.

said Miss Forester, with toss Of her

phasis, as she remembered the young
passed midshipman now pacing the
deck of the Silvestra in the Caribbean
sea, to whom her young affections
were pledged.
So it happened that Mr.. Forester
and old Mrs. Pry both met in Major
Midgefeld's room at the parsonage OF
St. Adolphine, on the afternoon Of that
radiant fourteenth of February.

Jokes, woman!" Numbered the Ma
for.
What on earth do you mean? Is
all the world gone mad?"
Il call valentines jokes!" said Mrs
Pry. And, please, sir, here II is, with
your own initials on the outside! Gu
pids and loves and wings, and not
much Of anything else, sir, saving
your presence!" with a contemptuous
sniff.
Il never saw the thing before in all
my life." said Major Midgefield, eying
1t through his spectacle glasses as one
might survey some noxious insect.
Amt this in your writing?" de-
manded Mrs. Pry, holding up the
envelope.
"Of course it is" answered the Ma
jor.
And is not this your writing?"
sternly Joined in Mr.. Forester, hold
ing up the letter.
Certainly 1t is" admitted the Ma
| jor. And that letter and that en-
1
velope belong together, comprising a
note written by me to Mrs. Pry to
engage board at her house once more.
II you will observe Mr.. Forester, you
will perceive that the letter and the
envelope in your possession are in diff
ferent handwriting"
Then" gasped the bewildered Mr..
Forester, how on earth came this
letter directed to my daughter"
"All / know" said the Major, stout
ly, SIS that I never sent it."
And to the day of their death no
body solved the mystery. The only
person who could have done so was
Master Julius Carey, who had listened
at the door during the whole colloquy,
and who took particularly good care
that no one should suspect his share
in the confusion of letters and en-
velopes!
But Mrs. Pry got back her boarder,
and, to the end Of time, Miss Adela
Forester always insisted that she had
received an offer of marriage from Ma
jor Midgefield.

Her Valentine.

by JOnn Leighton BEST
Still winter stars are shining,
Still winter sunsets glow,
And still the brooks repining
In crystal confines flow.
But somewhere in the starlight
The vernal beams are met,
And somewhere in the far light
The hope of spring is set.
From winter gloom the glory
OF springtime shall unfold,
The marvellous, sweet story,
The ever new and old;
What time the heart Of maid,
What time the heart Of lover.
What time the heart OF maid,
Turn lightly to each other,
And happy vows are paid.
And must l still be only
The beggar at your gate,
To lie forgotten, lonely,
And vainly for you wait?
Will you not send some token
This longing heart to cheer.
Now winters spell is broken,
Now springtime's grace is near!
So hear me now confessing
The love you long have known,
mat with each days REFRESHING
Hath only stronger grown,
And speed the message duly,
That one sweet word of thine,
That you will now be truly,
My own dear Valentine.

he read the letter over, not without
complacency. Yes, yes-pretty fair
ly. Now, what is that woman Pry's
first name? I've got it signed to
some of my receipts upstairs, and / do
like things to be shipshape and prs
else"
And, leaving his letter neatly folded
on the table, in a shining, smooth
envelope, the Major trotted upstairs
to find out whether old Mrs. Pry's
name was Paulina. Patience or Par

zed, like familiar bees, in his brain.

Vdienfine'S Day.

Valentines day was established in
England, Scotland and France about
the fifteenth century. Its observance
was very popular among the upper
classes and at many European courts.
On st. Valentines eve spinsters and
bachelors were accustomed to meet in
a social way, write upon bits of paper
the names Of a number of spinsters
and bachelors of their acquaintance,
throw them into a basket, and then
draw them out one at time. care be-
ing exercised that each should draw
one of the opposite sex, the person
thus drawn being the drawers valen-
tine. The festival was introduced into
America at an early day, but its OBJ
servance has since undergone material
change, and is annually becoming less
and less generally, at present being
almost wholly limited to friends ex-
changing anonymous communications
with each other, the same being made
in verse or verses referring to va
riety of topics, the subject being also
! illustrated by cuts OF an amusing or
sentimental character
