HER SECOND

no expectant flush to the cheeks Of
Jennie Morris. Rather she was Jennie

she had retgned as queen. Parents

She was still idolized by the village
folk, for she played the role of Good
Samaritan in every needing home.
Every day in the year save one she
was at the beck and call Of any who
needed her help. But st. Valentines
day was her own; her own to be spent
alone with the greatest sorrow of her
life, for it was on St. Valentines day
20 years before that she had driven
Henry Fraser from her by a bit of
foolish pettiness. For 364 days Of
each year she cast this sorrow from
her that she might be Of help to 9TH

It all back to her only that she might
cherish the love she had spurned so

When the remains of her simple
breakfast had been cleared away she
went to the drawer Of the little secre-
tary and took from 1t the mementoes
Of her courtship; Of the happy days
when she was the affianced bride of
Henry Fraser. Among them was the
golden circle he had placed upon her
finger when she had said yes" to his
wooing. She had never returned It,
as for years after she had driven
him from her she did not know where

strange flutter in her heart. She

The bright little fellow behaved very

quite proud of him. When the dessert

lures and little reading matter about
them. President Roosevelt is one of
those whose portrait was obtained for
the book. In his case no subscription
was asked. and a reputable southern
lady was employed to obtain his photo
graph, without suspicion upon her part
of any improperly. The president
promptly denied having understood
the purpose for which the portrait was
obtained. The highest price paid for a
subscription was, it is said, the $4,000
of Mrs. c. P. Huntington.
Some Of the phrases occurring in the
letters of Judge Deuel. and Col. Mann,
the president Of Town Topics, are be-
coming part of the slang of the day.
In one case the editor was hidden to
''let up on Henry T. Sloan" In an
other to be sure to say that the Perry
