TWO VALENTINES
BY.KATE PATCH


Yes, said Uncle Jack.
And are her eyes big and blue
like Celia'ss
Again Uncle Jack nodded,
Is she as pretty as Cellar
Prettier.
Does she give you half her
cookies?
Moo
Celia does. with an air of
triumph. Does she kiss you when
you make up2
She won't let me kiss her.
Is she mad?
I don't know, groaned Uncle
Jack.
Are you mad?
Not now.
Do you have all her aunts and
uncies and mothers and fathers
and cousins for yours?
1 wish to goodness I did!
Then Stuart drew nearer and
looked up in Uncle Jacks face
then why don't you send her q
valentine? be asked.
Uncle Jack seemed to mediate
on this advice.
Do you thinkit would be a good
idea? he asked at length.
Yes, we can cut out another
neart and put a picture on it, and
I'll make the letters for you if
you like
Thanks awfully, said Uncle
Jack, but I wouldn't dare do
that. tell you the kind of val
entine I'd like to send my little
girl. I'd like to get a big bunch
of violets; but its Sunday, you
see, and I can't.
Stuart was all attention. Uncle
Jack had helped him make the
heart for Celia, he had listened
to his nephew's troubles and
given manly sympathy, and he
had not laughed. He had even
exchanged condolences. Should
Stuart prove the deserter now?
You can get some yiolets, he
declared eagerly. I know the
fower-man and he'll get EN- for
me. I sometimes buy little
bunch for Celia or teacher. I'll
go now. Got five cents?
Bless you, boy, cried Uncle
Jack. I want a bunch as big as
your head!
Stuart started. Thatll be
more'n Eve cents, be objected.
Can't help it. Bring the bill
to me. A bunch as big as your
head, remember.
Stuart was quite overcome by
the magnifcence of this order,
but he still fingered.
3 Say, Uncle Jack, don't you
believe she'll be sorry when she
sees 'em?
| hope SO, said Uncle Jack,
signing.
Say, will you go to take EN- to
her when I go to Celia's? Does
she live near Celia's?
Uncle Jack hesitated a moment,
then he laughed. Yes, I'll go
with you, he said. Come, young
ster. get a move on!
II.
It was late in the afternoon
when Uncle Jack and Stuart set
out on their tender errand. Uncle
Jack carried a violet box, and
Stuart held carefully a large
white envelope.
Where does your little girl
live? was Stuart's first question.
Uncle Jack smiled. That's a
secret, he said. "I'Il tell you by
and by, though.
There was a pleasant mystical
favor about this that pleased
Stuart. but when they reached
Celia's gate Uncle Jack turned
in with him. Are you going to
wait for me? asked the little boy.
Of course, said Uncle Jack.
