THE RHYMING
OPTIMIST
3y AIine Michaelis

= FOUND a valentine last night
tricked out in blue and red,
- with Cupids gay and gar
lands bright; the verse was hid
den out of sight, but this is what
it said: II want to, be your val
entine; oh, do not say me nay!
And may your path, o Heart of
Mine! be always where the roses
Irvine and where the sunbeams
stray!' Oh, tender little valen-
tine that came so long ago, DIS
brightly still your colors shine as
when that old sweetheart Of mine
loved me and told me so! The
years are many since the day
that brought this verse to me;
life's rose and gold have turned
to gray and twilight shadows dim
the way whence birds and flowers
flee. But still the message rings
as true as when so long ago, it
came like roses drenched in dew,
like cloudless skies of smiling
blue; she loved and told me so!
No later valentine I've had has
ever cheered my heart like this,
from little lass to lad, which left
me all amazed and glad, pierced
through by Cupid's dart. For
other loves have doomed and
died like buds whose day is
brief; but this love hovers at my
side through changing wind and
shifting tide, through pain and
joy and grief! This little love l
know is mine beyond life's pass
ing breath; feel its tender
tendrils Irvine, see> it's star
bright glories shine, still mine
through life and death! And so
1 fold the missive gay In lavender
and rose, this valentine that
marks the day she loved and
laughed and stole away to sleeps
sweet Garden-close!

my advice. Let this be the last
time! Be assured l shall never

He spoke almost appealingly.
But Agnes did not respond to it.
She felt she had had her own
way. and a sense of triumph
grew in her mind.
Yes, you can be n1ealy-

said sharply, but it don't go

what you mean is that I've got

Il decline to be put in a position

AS Lady Tallbois, you seem to be-
lieve you are above the law. But
this | promise yOu-that if l fall

Agnes wavered. There was a
meaning to Callaghan's threat, a
menace in his voice that she could
not ignore.

Mr.. Bell looked flabbergasted,
but Callaghan nodded compre-

OF this tigerish half.bred girl; she
interested him.

under his breath, that he should

But the elevator-man was not
there. And as in this tiny house
there was but one flight Of stairs
leading to the upper stories,
Clancy knew that the man was
not in the house. She suffered re-
action. What might have beer
her fate had she found the man
hiding here?
Like all women, Clancy feared
the past more. than the future.
She feared it more than the pre-
sent. She sank down up the
stairs outside the dining-room.
Why, the man might have shot
her! What good would her poker
have been, pitted against a re-
volver? And, with the Careys UP
in the country somewhere, she
might have lain here, weltering in
