 Success! New honors! His ambition gratified. John Frost pushed the pa pers away from him and gave himself up to moment of satisfied medita- tion. The only drawback to his hap piness was the thought that his new office meant removal to the county township, separation from Kitty!
 But what of that! He was nothing to Kitty! Her thoughts were all of his nephew, the unworthy, ne'er-do- we'll, for whom she was eating out her heart, losing the roses from her cheeks.
 He had important papers to prepare, much work to do; but it was impossi- ble for him to fix his mind upon any thing just then; so he closed his desk absent-mindedly, and started for home, hoping that the keen air of the streets would cool the fever in his temples He remembered it was the eve of St Valentines day. He could not forget it., since the shop windows were filled with sentimental tokens and the chill dren who loitered along the pavements were chattering about the sport which they anticipated that evening.
 A strange feeling of sentiment made the judges blood jingle.
 "I'll get Kitty a valentine"' he re- solved. 1T can afford to get her nice one this year." and fancy pictured the addition to his income which his new office implied.
 He turned into the stationer's s on the corner. It chanced to be the one which his nephew had visited but few minutes earlier.
 The proprietor hastened forward, rubbing his hands.
 Good evening, judge! What can we do for you?" he inquired, briskly.
 It took some resolution to state his errand; but John Frost, ST., was deter mined.
 ''Show me the finest valentine you have in the store'' he startled the stationer by saying.
 They were longtime acquaintances, which perhaps accounted for what John Frost considered the mans pre- sumption.
 "Ah, ha, judge!" he chuckled. ''The best of us get hard hit, sooner or later! Now, here's beauty! The only thing
