much obliged" said Loretta, with
tinge of irony. whats the news?"
"Oh, don't know. Nothing much,
l guess, except Emma Lovett was
over from Milton last night. She stay
ed to tea" Mrs. Foster spoke care
lessly, but her eyes were fixed curious
ly on Lorettas calm face.
"Your Cousin Emma's the girl that
sells valentines to Amasa Bennett,
amt she?"
"Oh, WELL you're kinder sarcastic,
Loretta Gray, just because it's so hap
pened that Amasa Benefits walked
nine miles to Milton every February
and brought valentine from the store
there. l s'pose he thinks nobody in
Long River knows word about it.
Fifteen years he's been doing it, and
nobody don't know now who gets
them valentines" She shot a look Of
baffled curiosity at her hostess.
Loretta knitted busily, even while
she returned Mrs. Fosters look with
one equally hostile.
Seems as If Amasa wanted folks to
know he'd put a notice in the postof-
! fce," she said sarcastically.
Somebody must get 'em," pursued
Mrs. Foster relentlessly. Il should
think you'd know, Loretta, seeing as
he's been coming to see you on We'd
nesday evenings for-I don't know
how long"
Fifteen years." replied Loretta even
~.
"And l amt ever heard of any one
else getting one from him, and he
amt never paid any attention to any
one but you. OF course you don't say
whether you get any valentines or
not" There was covert malice In her
| tone now.
Lorettas eyes flashed. 81 don't need
| to say anything about my mail so long
as your aunt Tabitha has the Long
River postofice. 1 guess what you
don't know about it, Mary Foster,
amt worth knowing"
LAND O. living, guess when folks
begin to accuse me Of shopping into
their letters better be goingY' Mrs.
Foster tripped Indignantly into the
kitchen and donned her wraps with
angry haste.
Then Loretta dropped the red shawl,
and an anxious expression came into
her bright eyes, and presently that
was blotted out by slow tears, the
tears of one who rarely weeps and
then only when courage has been test
ed beyond it's strength.
Amasa Bennett had been keeping
company with Loretta for fifteen years,
and while other folk wondered when
they would be married, instead of each
living a solitary existence, Loretta and
her lover knew it was because Amasa
had never asked the momentous ques-
ton.
Other sweethearts had been married
and some had died and others had chill
dren growing up around them, while
Loretta and Amasa drifted along in

evening calls and Sunday evening at
! tendance at church.
And during all these fifteen years
each February Amasa had walked over
to Milton and secretly bought lovely
valentine-if Mrs. Fosters cousin EN-
ma was to be believed-and yet Loret-
ia had never received a valentine in
her life! What did it mean? And who
was the fair recipient of Amasa's ten
der missives?
The next day was ST. Valentines
festival, and as was her daily custom
Loretta wound scarf about her brown
hair and, slipping into warm cloak,
went down to the postoffice for her
mail and the daily paper.
When Tabitha Long pushed a large
packet of envelopes toward her Loret-
ia maintained her presence of mind
sufficiently to take them up carefully
and drop them into her shopping bag.
Once within the snug kitchen she
tore off her wraps and took out the
letters There were fifteen in all.
Each one was in a large embossed en-
velope and inscribed with her name in
purple ink. Some of the envelopes
were faded and yellow, and the ink
was pale and hardly visible; others
were quite fresh and bright. and one
in particular looked as if the violet ink
had scarcely dried. The handwriting
was the same on all.
Loretta laughed Historically as she
tore open the envelopes and withdrew
valentines of every color and delicate
design and every degree Of sentiment.
She set them in a long row on the
mantelpiece in the sitting room, and
I will not betray Loretta by telling
how many times she took them ali
down and examined each one with
tender, misty eyes.
That evening Amasa Bennett came
as usual. He was tall and lean with
an honest, sunburned. good looking
face and a sensitive mouth and BASH
full eyes. When his abrupt greetings
were over his wandering glance fell
on the mantelshelf A dull red set
tied down to his neck.
Got some valentines, l reckonr' he
calculated at last, with a furtive
glance at Loretta's face. 81 s'pose
you know who sent 'em, eh. Loretta 2"
This clumsy raillery was new
phase of Amasas character. Loretta
smiled. "a friend of mine, l guess,
gentleman friend" she said evasively.
"Some one around hereY'
Milton" replied Loretta.
"Pshawv said Amasa dazedly. 81 did
not know you knew any folks in Mil
ton"
Presently he went over and took
one out of the row. This here is
pretty one," he said, holding it toward
her with fierce shyness. THE verse
is prettyr'

now shall we go over to Mr.. Bemfs?
We might as well get it done now"
He took Loretta's hand with bashful
tenderness and stroked it softly with
his rough palm.
Loretta blushed holly. "I'n put on
my silk dress if I'm going to get mar
ried," she said shyly, Withdrawing her
hand from his.
When she reached the door Amasa
was at her side, and his arms were
about her. There's something didn't
do" he said resolutely.
'What?" whispered Loretta.
He kissed her on the lips and then.
holding her away from him. looked In
her eyes with a new confidence in his
own. ''Thatp' he said with proud
smile.

woman's bulky form plodded toward
the house.
The kitchen door opened and the
woman came in, shaking the snow
from her shawl on to the spotless
floor and glowing stove.
How are you, Loretty?" she called
as she unwound the shawls and knit
ted scarfs and emerged very slen-

She nodded indifferently. 81 don't
care much for valentine verses. If a
mans got anything to say he needn't
beat around the BUSH"
Amasa regarded her with amazed
chagrin. Her face was bent low over
the valentine, and he did not see her
trembling hand.

Curator FISH
FOUND Relics
Has Returned From Cannon.
ball Where he Visited
Dr.. beede

Curator H. G.. Fish returned last
evening from a two-day trip. to the
Cannonball to consult with DR.. Beede
on historical matters.
While there he saw q number of
picture rocks, probably of the ancient
Mandan. One OF these rocks the Sioux
took to the church yard 30 that it
would not be stolen or broken up.
When they had gotten it as far as the
gate the rock sang the song of pleas
ure SO they left 1t right in the gate
way. Some of the other rocks show
birds, others the summer and winter
track of the buffalo.
DR.. Beede is having remarkable SUE
cess with his Sioux E%piscopalian
churches-the Cannonball church and
Red Hail Camp church. ..e has there
lOo communicates and 400 adherents
in the parish.
The Cannonball church was organ
lied in 1884. For a long time very
little effective work was done, but in
the past ten years these two churches
have developed into a strong, earnest
working body Of men and women.
BY a slow process they have been
taught the art of giving. This year
they have given to foreign missions
SIS with q children Missionary offer
ing of $50.
These churches have taken upon
themselves to support the Rec Epis-
copal work on Berthold reservation at
Armstrong.
1t was these. two churches with DR..
Beede as advisor who carried to SO
great success the Episcopal Convoca-
ton recently held at Armstrong on
Berthold reservation. They gave 500
in money towards its success. Then
when the question of the co%nvocation
for next year came up they planked
STA and pledged 500 more. All this
good work has been done besides
carrying on their own work every
Sunday.
These Sioux Episcopalians are an
ambitious group and are doing a
splendid work in the Cannonball
country.
