VALENTINE

HERE was no. good reason why
i the comic valentine should have
hurt young Pooley, but it did hurt
him, though he Rugged the NORTH
cation to his bosom with Spartan for
titude and laughed SO much at it that
20 one in the family circle suspected
that he did not enjoy it as much as
hey evidently did.
The points of resem blance between
he valentine clerk and Pooley were
aot striking. Pooley's ears were OF
normal size, and did not flap from the
sides of his head in a manner suggest
I've of an alarmed elephant. nor was
be in the habit Of decorating them
with quill pens. They would hardly
have known quill pen in the Office
II they had seen one. Then, he had
rather a good nose-long enough to
express sagacity, but not SO long as
10 smear the columns of figures in the
ledger before him when he was work.

I A GRIPPE is epidemic catarrh. 1t
- spares no class or nationality. The
cultured and the ignorant, the aristocrat
and the pauper, the masses and the class
es are alike subject to la grippe. None
are exempt-all are liable.
Have you the grip? Or, rather, has
the grip got you? Grip is we'll named.
The original French term, la grippe,
has been shortened by the busy Ameri-
can to read grip" Without intending
to do so new word has been coined
that exactly describes the case. AS if
some hideous giant with awful GRIP had
clutched us in its fatal clasp. Men.
women, and children, whole towns and
cities are caught in the baneful grip of a
terrible monster

shirt cuffs, and. being a rather mod
est and well-conducted young man.
the charges of snobbery and bump
tieusness in the atrocious doggerel be-
low the valentine seemed singularly
fat and inappropriate. But 1t was
true that he was a clerk, and, though
he had never considered that dis
graceful, it somehow seemed to him
now to afford ground for the sheer.
At the least, Pooley thought, 1t
showed that somebody disliked him
probably honestly believed that he
was snobbish and bumptious, SO that
his maligned ears tingled and he
burned with resentment every time
the comic valentine met his eye.
That was quite frequently. for he had
taken particular pains to have It
pinned above his little work table in
the sitting-room-just to show how
little he cared. When friends came
in he was sure to call their attention
to 1t.
In addition to this, Pooley spent
much time specializing as to who had
sent the thing. He compared the hand
writing on the envelope that had con-
tanned it with the handwriting of his
friends and acquaintance. and came
to many conclusions. the result of
which was that his friends began to
complain among themselves of GER
tain change in his manner-a lack OF
the old warmth and frank kindness,
and a cold and distrustful air. The
evil influence lasted for exactly one
year. For some months before the st.
Valentines day following he had been
more than slightly under another in
fuence. 1t had pretty golden hair and
blue eyes and it's name was Margaret.
Margaret was . friend Of his sister.
and had been to Pooley's house several
times.
So 1t happened that Just before st.
Valentines day Pooley spent quite an
extravagant sum of money in the pur-
.hase of an arrangement Of laces, rib
oons, violets and amatory verse. which
he directed with his gloved left hand.
and mailed secretly. On the morning
of st. Valentines day he himself re-
.etved q modest little card which
seemed to give him inordinate delight.
His sister noticed 1t, and wanted to see
what his card was. but Pooley firmly
refused to crafty her curiosity.
'It's another comic one" declared
the sister. You're afraid to show It"
Her remark somehow dashed Poo
tey's pleasure. He was nervously APP
prehensive for the rest Of the time
that he was in the house. He start
I'd at the sound Of the postman's sec

sinking OF his spirits when he re-
turned home that evening.

later his wife died. The girl then Mary Lord. had
also married. Her husband died two years ago.
Wilkinson returned 10 his old home and met his
former sweetheart, now widow. She made inqui-
ries about mis- using tobacco. So far as she could
learn he addicted to the habit. She favored
