Three LIVE VALENTINES.

Percy. as they walked home from school,
Now it was just two days before St.
Valentines day. and 1t didn't take Molly
and Mary two seconds to guess "Valen-
tines"
They knew that Percy had been to the
store in the village. for they had waited
for him outside. by his request. They al
ways walked home from school together,
although Molly, who was the doctor 8
daughter, lived in the village, and Percy
in 1.-THE Castle on the hin. Mary. who
was the youngest Of the three. was the
daughter of the gardener at the Castle
and lived in a little cottage near me

Percy and Molly agreed that Mary was
the sweetest girl and the finest playmate
in the world. She was q darling! She
had gray eyes, rosy cheeks, which were
always dimpling with fun, and copper
colored hair. which looked sunny, even
on dark days.
AS 1 said before. she and Molly both
cried. valentines! Valentines, Percy!

to say, SO he changed to another branch
of the subject.

And so they are!' laughed Mary. II
wonder II 1 shall get a valentine"
II guess you will. dear!" cried Molly.
And Percy, with knowing wag Of his
head, said. Il guess you will!' too.
ST. Valentines day was bright and
clear. Very early Mary was startled NY
excited cries and tramping. She ran out
Of the cottage door. Tearing down the
wide carriage road, his hair flying and
riding a small pony. The groom, who
ran behind. was weak with laughter,
but Percy was gleeful.
Aha, Mary. l fell off twice coming
down here. But it's not far to fall. apd
shall soon learn to stick on. Isn't ne
splendid valentine? His name is Val
entine. too.
What dear" cried Nary. What
pretty eyes he has. and such a soft name!
Aren't you too happy for anything?'
Happy? / guess I am"
AS they .patted and petted the gentle
creature suddenly a clatter was heard out
in the road. While they listened the
sound became that of wheels and tiny
hoofs. The groom opened the gate and
in rode Molly. triumphantly enthroned in
a goat carriage and driving a frisky white
goat. His long. curving horns were gid
