teeth now. amt got any particular
use for the money, and you can pay It
back from your knitting a little at

There was silence. Mrs. Drake
leaned back in her chair as if glad the
announcement was out and prepared
for a stormy reception of her proposal.
Miss Leafy stared hard through the
crack in the stove door. The Goals
glowed redlv. then they changed to
ruddy blur, and there was a sharp
sting behind her little brown eyes.
Presently she spoke, and her sharp
voice sunk to quaver as she asked:
"Do you mean, Ellen Drake, that
you're offering to lend me some of
your $500 so | can have porcelain
teeth like yours?'
"Of course mean It," said Ellen
heartily, "and, what's more, I'm going
to use some of that $500 TO have n good
time with before die. Wen go to

Cousin Abel's valentinep And she
laughed a CHEEKY little laugh that
seemed to open up some long choked
spring In Miss Leafy's bosom, for she
burst into bitter sobbing and flung her
hands before her little homely face.

"a r. ISIS LEAFY BEAN stared
NA into the window of the sta
VX toner's shop, surveying the
long lines of valentines that
hung In festoons from end to end.
There were all sorts of valentines
from the humblest penny post card,
with its crudely colored picture and
amorous verse, to the huge affairs of
satin and lace with doves and cupids
and bleeding hearts painted thereon.
Miss Leafy looked them over care
fully. There was not one that would
answer the purpose she had in mind.
She entered the shop and asked in
firm, rasping voice for what she was
seeking.
"Comic valentinesf' repeated the
clerk, with astonishment in his sheep
like eyes. "Yes, ma'am-of course,

his knowledge, and the careful scru.
