CHAPTER III.
The people of Starbury made ST. Val
entines day the greatest festival of the
year. High and low, rich and poor, set
everything aside to enjoy themselves TO
the utmost. but the browning point 10
those in the upper circles was the bali
given at Castle Towers.
This year everyone felt that the
dance would be more imnor-
tant event than it had ever been
before, as Jack Faulkener had returned
to settle amongst them and surely the
next thing he ought to do was to marry.
Jack echoed their opinion, and many A
pretty valentine he posted, lust for fun, i"
he told himself, meaning after that 10
give up all his little jokes and settle down
in real earnest with Rose by his side.
He never doubted she would have him.
In his heart he felt sure she loved him
but she had tormeuted him long enough
and he was determined to have his future
finally decided before he began his work
so he bought tiny gold heart. fixed on
light chain, and put it inside his letter
for her TO wear, as a sign that she would
accept him, on the night of the ball He
fastened down the envelope, and several
others, before he directed them: and while
he was thus engaged his sister ran in TO
him, having cut her hand rather deeply.
Quick Jack!" she exclaimed What
is the use of having a doctor In the house
if Won can't make use OF him."
Just so, little woman" he replied:
'but ] am sorry you should be nv first
patient and he set to work with as little
delay as possible to bind up the cut.

the table.

and she ran ont OF the room before her
brother could answer.
Jack smiled. Then becoming aware
that there was only FIVE minutes left in
which TO catch the post, he sat down TO
address the envelopes. He never doubted
for a second that he knew for whom each
was intended, as he had placed them in
different positions on the table, and he
had not noticed that Vic had moved any

attended to; as most Of them had en-
closures too, he did rot feel the difference

ton, he went back to his room with a
happy feeling that be had played his last
joke, and that Acse and he would under
stand each other tomorrow.
Poor Rose that was just what she
did not do. She was very Harm-hea rted,
but painfully sensitive. which made her
suffer acutelys even without much cause.
