OF doing anything in particular as he lett
Aunt Betsy and started for school. 1t Is
quite likely that he would have forgotten all
about 1t, had 1t not been for an event which
happened few days later
1t Saturday, Il very mild day for Feb
ruary-almost like summer-and sid started
out with the intention OF digging clans. He

very lndustrlousy for whole hour. But the
clans were shy OF asleep and after capturing
about two dozen, Sid got very tired. lie got

As he stood up to stretch himself, he saw
IN the distance something on the sand that
looked as ii it might be boat. Sid rather
hoped it was boat. as he wanted one the
worst way, 50 he dropped his spade and start
ed ior it,.
But he had gone but ten yards when he
saw that it wasn't boat.

hectiyely. 1T doesn't move. Perehaps it's a

supposition was enough to quicken his loot

more than once he started as he fancied he
saw Aunt Betsy coming toward the farm
house in search of him to wreak vengeance.
The feeling of mingled remorse and fear grew
so strong that he passed troubled night, and
he arose next morning with a fixed resolve to
rectfy his error
So, after breakfast, dressed in his best suit
OF clothes, Sid walked up to Aunt Betsys
house, knocked at the door, and, hearing no
response, walked in.
The sight he saw was most surprising.
In her low rocker sat Aunt Betsy, dressed
in black silk and otherwise 'primped up IN
an astonishing manner, and by her side stood
Daisy, clean and bright and with her face
wreathed in smiles.
Aunt Betsy began Sid, quaverngly,
q"
Further utterance was checked by Aunt
Betsy, who rose and threw her arms around
him.
At first he naturally inferred that she was
about to do hun some bodily injury, but her
words dspelled his fears.
sid. my dear Sid, my dear, good boy! l
always knew you were a good boy; how can
| thank you for your Valentine?
81 don't know how you found it out" she
continued, amid sobs and smiles and it's
wonderful how you knew Daisy was my niece.
And to think she's been living since baby
only ten miles away and | never knew it.
And | wouldn't have believed it, even when
she told me her name and that you sent her
to me, if she hadn't shown me the very letters
| wrote to my sister and the ring and-Sid,
Sid, | always knew you were a good boy!"
Then she hustled around, got out fruit
cake and bottle of currant wine, and so many
other things for his entertainment that Sid
broke down completely.
Don't don't, Aunt Betsy" he cried, con-
tritely. 81 don't deserve any thanks or cake
or anything. I'm the worst kind of cheat"
"Sid Palmeri"
"Yes, | am, Aunt Betsy. 1t was all joke
on my part, and | didn't know the little girl
was your niece at ALL Oh, you needn't stare
its the solemn truth. Aunt Betsy"
But Aunt Betsy did stare while Sid made
full, free and frank confession; but con.
trary to his expectation, she did not burst
forth into torrent of invectve and reproach
81 don't care she said, softly; you did
send her here to me- lonely old woman,
just aching to have little girl to love- Some
thing must have prompted you to do it,
and joke or no joke III never cease to thank
"Then," said Sid frightening up, you are
satisfied with your Naentine?"
Satisfied? wouldn't take thousand dol
lars-sno not million for it!'
"Most valuable on record" said Sid, with
a low whistle. "And to think that l never
knew its value until gave it away!"
Los Angeles herald., 1907-02-10

You couldn't run away from nobody and
nowhere, said Sid logically. You must
have lived somewhere"
Yes, | lived in the poorhouse in Branks-
burg SAID the girl, IF you call that living;
Nobody cared for me. nobody had kind
word for me, and just ran away-that's all!
is it, said Sid. with smile. Il guess
not. ou can't pass the rest OF your lie SIT
ting this sand"
Then can die. don't care
You wait until you get hungry and see"
said Sid oracularly What have you got in
that bundle in your lap-grubw
NO; Just some papers and ring and
lock of hair. They told me at the poorhouse
they belonged to my mother, and l took them
because they belong to me now"
And you, haven't any idea what you are
going to do?"
NO, | haven't"
Don't want to go anywhere%
"No."
But you shall" said Sid. with decision,
"1 ou come along with me-
The girl had by this time risen to her feet,
and now resisted violently.
mo, you shant-you shan't take me back
to the poorhouse!' she cried angry
81 don't intend to-" assured Sid. Il am
going to take you to a nice house where
He stopped suddenly a great idea was
born in his brain.
| 1t had been his intention TO take this waif
to his mother, whom he knew would receive
her, at least temporarily; but how he thought
of Aunt Betsy. and resolved to take the girl
there.
at is Valentines Day" he said to himself,
with an inward chuckle, "and this shall be
my Valentine. Aunt Betsy won't turn her
out She's too goodhearted for that, and III
get father to see after her on Monday"
Then aloud, he asked:
What's your namey'
Daisy Harper
That's nice name. Come along. Daisy"
He took her hand and led her to the village
stopping on his way to get his spade and the
clam basket
Nov you listen" he said, as he halted
near Aunt Betsy's cottage. DO you see thai
little yellow house? Well Aunt Betsy Colby
lives there-not my Aunt Betsy, but every
body's aunt. You go there, walk right in anc
tell her you are Sid Palmer's Valentine"
sid Palmer's Valentine" repeated Daisy
wonderingly.
Yes, that's it; she likes me better thar
any boy in town, and when you mention m,
name-well, you'll see!"
Daisy was utterly unsuspicious, and adyanc
ed boldly to the little yellow cottage Sit
watched her until she disappeared, and tbeI
he went home chuckling.

60 1t is hardly likely that Aunt Bet
sy Colby would have carried out
her threat, as she had never been known 70
harm a fly, but Sidney Palmer thought 1t
prudent to walk away from the door OF the
coy cottage and call it truce for the time
being
Aunt Betsy and Sid were always at war,
and any one to hear their numerous en-
counters would think they were bitter enc
mics
Yet Aunt Betsy rather liked the boy in
spite of his aggravating ways She had knit
ted him muttier and several pairs OF socks
at different times sent some dehclous soup
and Jelly to him when he was sick and no
one was more anxious for his recovery than
Aunt Betsy.
And Sid reciprocated by doing all of Aunt
Betsy's chores for three weeks when she was
laid up with intammatory rheumatism, and
more than once INDUCED III slnge-handed
combats with boys of his own age whom he
caught taking a rise out of Aunt Betsy.
Aunt Betsy was "touchy" and Sid was a
born tease and that was about the amount
of it. He could not resist making funny and
sarcastic remarks, and she could not keep
her temper So it happened that Sid made
a daily call on Aunt Betsy and was just as
regularly ordered out with threats more or
less violent
On this particular day in February Sid
had been more than usually aggravating.
Aunt Betsy happened TO be in rather cheer
ful mood, and when Sid called t. bring recipe
for sponge cake from his mother and greet
ed Aunt Betsy with the inquiry whether she
didn't want to adopt him for her own son 2?
she surprised him with smile

NO" he exclaimed Going to get mar

She reached for the broom and then thought
better of it.

 Kissing that sounds like battery Of gatling guns and that can be heard block away has aroused some of the exclusive and arlstocratic resi- dents of Eau Claire, Wis, and pro test, which is expected to lead to the presentation of an ordinance making 1t illegal to kiss in public, was made to the city council. It is claimed by those who object to the public Oscula ton that spooning couples who take nightly strolls under the trees and si' on some of the front steps of home make the night resound with the stren uous efforts, much to the disgust of other residents and passersby. Sev- eral city officials are among those said to have been worried by the specially loud kissing, but the complaints have been made, 1t Is claimed, by women who are forced to sit en their own front porches and listen to the spoon. ing in the dark.
