NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. R
His Mothers Valentine
(copyraht. 1871, BY Associated Literary Prsss)
By E. L. HENDERSON

V. j. was valentine. There could
be no doubt about this. He was born
on the 14th of February; his mother
had named him Valentine, and he
bore the outward semblance OF one
one, moreover, of that offensive type
popularly known as comic.
No one knew what V. j. Vincent, as
he Invariably signed himself, had suf-
fered from this combination Of circum-
stances. Hair OF unmitigated red, a
nose of unconventional length, inquir-
iIg ears and dimpled chin were, he
told himself, heavy enough burdens to
bear, without the necessity Of smiling
cheerfully at the endless jokes to
which he submitted on each recurring
14th Of February. He had learned to
accept the hair and ears and nose
with resignation, but the dimples, per-
petually laughing at the rest Of his
face, were still a sensitive point; and
In a beardless era when fashion de-
manded glaring honesty in chins, a
conspicuous one. He could only fall
back on an unfailing sense of humor
for support.
v. Us name was appropriate in
more than one respect. In the lace
trimmed, Cupid-adorned creations dis
played in February, there is usually
found, hidden under a heart-shaped
leaf, a little apartment warm with
sentiment. In " Us being, there was
a similar recess, but so eunningly con-
cealed that few suspected its exist
ence.
Its sentiment was, however, bub-
bling up on this particular morning
of the 14th of February as he passed
the Merrill home, bound officeward.
He had hoped to see Marcia Dillon
at the window. Instead, he caught a
smile from her young cousin, Dana
Merrill. Fortunately, he did not
catch the remark that followed it:
Doesn't Val Vincent look like a
comic valentine?"
His face is rather an intelligent
one for a comic valentine" re-
sponded Marcia. "He has good eyes"
"Oh, yes. but eyeglasses are not
becoming. wonder If anything
would be very becoming to ValR"
laughed Dana.
HE has fine forehead" Marcia
spoke in the manner of one deter
mined to see justice done to an un-
promising subject.
TITS a high one, certainly, and i'm
proving right along. Actually, Maria,
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1912-03-15


believe Val Vincent is getting bald,
and he isn't so awfully old either
not near thirty yet."
Marcia looked up with the amused
and tolerant glance of twenty-five
directed toward sixteen.
Dana ran on lightly. "Of course,
no one could help liking Val. He's
bright and witty, and as good as he
Is funny looking. He was devoted to
his mother, and I'd be willing to have
comic valentine for a brother my
self, If he'd treat me as Val does that
harum-scarum Gwen. She has two
girls visiting her now, and the whole
bunch depend on him to entertain
them, as if he were of high school age
too. The girls all like him, even if
they do regard him as sort of joke.
I'm glad you're such good friend to
him, Marcia"
He's by far the cleverest man I've
met here" asserted Marcia
"Oh he has brains, all right" agreed
Dana.
Could v. ]. have heard Marcia's
defense, it. might have sugar-coated
the annual dose of witticisms he was
called upon to swallow, AS it was.
growing conviction that he had been
lndulging in some very foolish
dreams of late, was emphasized by
the light Jests.
He sat in his office in the after
noon, smiling rather wanly at a
feeble joke from the office boy that
hinged on his unfortunate cognomen.
He isn't exactly an Apollo himself"
he thought as he watched the lank,
