stuck In Willard Kitchell's throat-"an'
they laughed awful Besides"-Willard
grew wroth at the thought-"look here.
He tore away the covering and accusing
ly lifted up a small bulbous Cupid In the
upper left hand corner Of the valentine.
1t wac attached to queer little paper
spiral. There. beneath the Cupid's fat
body. was the inky inscription: 'S. A. NJ,
from w. X. With love" There! Nowr'
Sarah Adeline cast her eyes to the earth.
Willard turned haughtily to depart.
II know what II happen to you. Sarah
Munford." he said In a choked voice.
"What?" demanded Sarah. too thor.
oughly miserable.
"You'll-you'll be cast into-everlasting
hell fre!' burst out the exasperated Will
lard. bethinking him OF his latest Sunday
school lesson. Then he ran of. shocked
but triumphant at his own dreadful
prophecy.
Sarah Adeline sat down In a heap OF
snow and cried. Then she dug deep hole
In big drift with her spelling book.
Into the hole she crammed the Ill fated
pink satin valentine and covered It up.
"Oh. dear! she sighed tearfully. Il
don't b'lieve I'll ever love any one any
more. It's such hard work."

hesitated-"for the teacher" she ended
in shamed little voice.
How much is it. Sarah Adeline?" in
| qulred her mother between the swashes
Of the steaming dishwater she was
pouring In the pan.
"Its-G5 cents" There were boldness
and despair in Sarah's voice.
"My soul and body! Well. guess we
won't have you paying any 65 cents for
that teacher You run along now or
you'll be late"
Sarah Adeline," whispered her grand
father rs his granddaughter scuffed in
20 her rubbers in the storm house on
she west porch, ''you take this an buy
valentine" He slipped five cent piece
into Sarah's mitten.
"Thank you, gran'pa," she answered
quietly. When she got out into the
road she was almost of mind to
throw the money away. "Huh! Nick
ell" she shifted. THAT won't buy any
thing decent!' She put the nickel In
her pocket, however. and wiped away
two angry tears. Then she trudged So
berly along the snowy road In the wide
tracks left by the wood seighs and the
pungs that had passed early that morn
ing.
Sarah Adellne Munford was nine
years old. She was slim. pale faced
little girl with stiff straw colored hair
and on her nose, by her own aboriOus
count, were twelve large freckles. She
recounted them each week to see IL any
had disappeared. for she dcspiscd them.
For the last week Sarah's heart had
been troubled and as Valentines day ap-
preached her trouble grew larger. Ordi-
narily Sarah Adelne was OF a complacent
nature and not often stirred from n GER
tain placid innocence which seemed to
hang about her like a cloud. Where she
loved she loved In secret bliss. taking
greater pleasure In the daring imaginings
Of her young heart than In the more COM
monpiace exhibitions OF sentiment dis
played by her schoomates.
Sarah Adcllnc was not fnvorite with
boys. This she knew and accepted though
she C0uIh not tell why IL was 80. PernapS
her physical calm and outward depreca-
tory submissivcness Of manner rcpelled
young swiIns and restrained their boyish
ardor.
So her affection for the sterner sex was
OF a romantic spirituality. She raised up
her masculine ideals. cherished them for
a time and cast them down. only to re-
peat the process. She had hut to appro-
pirate mentally the boy she considered
incest. and Immediately the vexed course
OF true love wns smooth under her con-
troll. The little god smiled bengnly on
her. and she knew no rival. When she
wearicd OF one spiritual admirer. there
was only the slight wrench of separations:
then gayly away to the next.
For a month Willie Penn Dixon had
held supreme place In Sarah's heart.
