HEARTS ARE TRADED
BY THE LOvELORN
MONDAY WAS ST. VALENTINE
DAY. MANY TENDER MIS-
SIVES EXCHANGED.

Hearts have sold two for nickel
the past few days. Better hearts could
be obtained for 10 or IS cents and more
attractive ones with gold ito let signs
and other embellishments have retail
ed at higher prices. The transfer of
hearts that took place on the great
date instituted by St. Valentine in his
prison approximated larger number
of deals than usual, it is stated by
those who watched the inspired haste
with which the selection of valentines
were made this year for yesterday,
Feb. 18th, the love holiday" which
has been celebrated for centuries.
Comic Valentines Changed.
There were valentines for mother,
father daughter, wife and husband,
processing a deep affection set to a
rhyme The comic valentine has not
entirely disappeared, it was noted, al
though now it is made up in a some
what more attractive form. The smirk-
ing young lady with coarse veil OF
real cheesecloth across her "goo-goo
eyes announces that she "ain't been
took yet" But another maiden with
downcast eyes and ridiculous couture
states, as she flashes a real glass dia-
mond, ooh, girls, I've landed him."
The prohibition gag" made its ap-
pearance even in declaration Of love,
as is seen in the verse on pretty card
representing an amorous youngster.
He sings:
l like you so enormously I'll gladly
give to you
The key not only to my heart but to
my cellar, too.
There were large red hearts with
golden arrows through them, and
streamers of red crepe paper and fan
cy bon bon dishes were the accessories
of valentine parties.

 Then we ought to hear any firing or shouting without. Everything seems quiet. Let's make the effort now"
 He sent the Mexican girl on in ad- vance, and lifted the unconscious Macklin upon his back, Olga partially supporting the helpless body. The wounded man groaned at the first movement, but lapsed immediately into silence again, and Shelby moved slowly forward with his burden along the dark, narrow passage.

Satisfied they were not ob- served, Shelby again picked up the wounded man, and, with Pancha guid- ing, her figure barely discernible in the gloom, slowly advanced down the depression.

But this they couldn't know. As they turned into the ravine they obtained glimpse of the burned cabin. One wall yet stood, ragged against the sky. and there was gleam of red embers. Occasionally gust of air sent sparks flying upward and spirals of black smoke were visible. No moving forms could be perceived about the ruins, and it was evident the spot was still in a condition to render exploration impossible.
 Huddled closely together in the shelter of the rocks the fugitIves stared across the open, space at the red gIeam. The Mexican girl had lifted herself upon a projecting stone. and was searching the shadows with keen eyes.
 "where do we got" Shelby ques- tioned.
 Up the rock trail, senor; there is no other safe place."
