RIVALRY IN LOVE.

OF all the torments, all the cares,
With which our lives are curst
OF all the plaques a lover bears.
Such rivals are the worst!
BY partners in each other kind,
Affections easier grow;
In love alone we hate to find
Companions of our woe.
Sylvia, for Ill the pangs you see
Are laboring in my breast,

Would you but slight the rest!
How great soccer Your rigors are.
With them alone I'll cope;

But not another's hope.

The Sunday editor looked up i'm
patiently. 1t was the twentieth in,
terruption in busy morning.
Yes he said, scowling a little at
the young woman who stood beside
his desk. y do want a short story
But, unfortunately, I want a clever
one"
The Sunday editor was sometimes
frank before he remembered to be
courteous. Realizing that this had
been one of the occasions he softened
a little.
What want is cracking good

course. 1t has to be sentimental to fit
the day; but something absolutely
original. Nothing that suggests lace
paper, or bleeding hearts, or cupids,
or any of the rest of the fubdub.

The young woman lifted her eye

All right. Try then. This is

The Sunday editor chuckled a little
as the door closed and winked
sagaciously at his pigeon holes.
''That'll floor her highness," he
thought, land let me out for week.
That girls getting to be a nuisance in
spite of her good looks"
Anne Sargent's good looks were I'M
deniable. Those pretty eyebrows
arched over pair of good gray
eyes, rubbed in with smutty finger"
There was some brown hair to her
credit, too, and good teeth, with a
mouth always ready to smile if it had
half a chance. The trouble was that
it wasn't given many opportunities
for laughter-a fact which the eyes
duly recorded-and thereby made the
girl, to most people. even more inter
esting.
Since even editors are human it was
probably due to these attractions that
she was enabled, in the first instance,
to break into the Traveller office
with a special on How Women Wear
Their Hats" or something equally i'm
portant. But the girls own eagerness
for work, her adaptability, and the
actual necessity which made her con-
centrate all her energies and ambi-
lions on what she was given to do,
were the means of keeping her there
Not that she was "on the staff The

men on its staff Even a decade ago
when its contemporaries were print

won place in its esteem
1t was only when the Sunday editor
was busy or had been disappointed in
some special feature or hadn't ideas
enough to go around that he was dis
posed to fall back on the popular
theory of woman in business" and
call her a nuisance. Even then he
had twinges of conscience afterwards

even be an onlooker at the intense

the strain which everybody from

when there was big news to handle.
At its worst-that is when everybody
was wearing his nerves on the outside
and had no time to be agreeable-it
was haven of refuge
On this particular day Anne went
out thoughtfully. She was not bril-
liant. Hard work was more in her
line than scintillating ideas. At the
same time she liked 10 please the Sun
day editor, He was good friend in
spite of his brusqueness. Moreover,
she needed the money. There was the
matter of shoes, for instance-not to
mention anything else. Clearly, she
must think of something capable of
being worked up into a valentine
story. But what?
She ran over in her mind all the
stories she could remember. There
was the tiIne-honored plot of the val

the ensuing complications. There were
the instances of elderly adorers in.
spired by the day to the pitch of indit-
ing the fateful lines that make two
faithful hearts happy There were all
the delicate shades of feeling as ex-
pressed by large lunches of violets
and five-pound boxes of sweets. There
were books of poems with marked
passages intended to reveal fearful
things, but never discovered until the
recipient was sunk in hopeless spin
sterhood and the ardent sender the
head of large family. There was the
havoc wrought by the dastardly
comic"
She was a little tempted by the
idea of a father brought to consent to
his daughters marriage through find
mother years ago. But she reflected
that the modern daughter is given to
pleasing herself in these little mat
tiers, swapping her fingers gayly at

Anne gave that up as futile, along
with the others.
She walked slowly down State
street, hoping that that busy thorough
fare might hold a suggestion for her
somewhere in its teeming life 1t
was the 1st of February and the shop
windows were filled with valentines
gay bits of cardboard with their pic
lures and verses, varied occasionally
with old-fashioned lace paper confec-
tons
Anne went into one of the biggest OF
the shops
Perhaps I'll find my hero buying
some of these silly things" she
thought.
But although people were crowding
about the counters upon which the
valentines were displayed there was
not suspicion of romance about
them. Mothers were smiling to them
selves over the pleasure they were
about to give their children; children
were busy picking out gorgeous of
ferlngs for their small sweethearts:
somebody was giving a large order
for a valentine party and one young
husband was buying lace paper af-

with cupids to put it in, explaining to
the girl behind the counter that if

gruffly. You'd better read it,"
She took the envelope with trembl-

The thought did not cheer her. BY
the time she reached her own small
room her spirits were dropping per.

away than ever and she permitted her
thoughts to wander from it TO her own
affairs.
They were poor little affairs when
all was said. A great deal OF work,
a little play, a clearinghouse. a friend
or two, no one near or dear-that is,
no one very near. Anne blushed at
this point in her reflections. She had
