there were but a single barb, pulling
one Of these little spears out Of the
flesh would not be SO difficult OF
painful.
Yowler was still paving at that
little spear and snarling all the time
when who should happen along but
Old Man Coyote. He sat down at q
safe distace and grinned. He and
Yowler are not friendly. This is es-
pecially true in times like this when
food Is so scarce that both are hungry
practically all the time. What the
matter was with Yowler he couldn't
make out. From where he sat he
couldn't see Prickly Porky above in
the tree or he might have guessed
As it was he was puzzled.
"You seem to be in trouble. What's
the matter?" said he.
Matter enough" snarled Yowler,
"but it is no business Of yours"
Old Man Coyote grinned more
broadly than ever. quite right" he
replied. Il wouldn't be guilty Of max

Porky's quills in your face you'd make

IT didn't touch him." snarled
Yowler.
Then how did you get one Of those
little spears in your face?" demanded
Old Man Coyote.
He threw it at me-" replied Yowler.
Old Man Coyote stared at him.
"Say that again." said he.
He threw it at me-" repeated Yow-

didn't"
"You didn't touch him. yet you
have one of his little spears in your
face; do you expect me to believe
that?" retorted Old Man Coyote.
IT don't care whether you believe it
or not!" snapped Yowler. MY face
was pretty near his tail, but didn't
touch it. He threw that spear into
my face. I had heard that he can
throw those little spears, but I never
really believed 1t until now. Now
know it."
Old Man Coyote shook his head.

believe it," said he.

"A w, GEE, Mick. you're swell guy. u
Terry sniffed. He was inter-
rupted by something big and soft that
hit him right in the face. He jumped
up and bumped into tall, dark man.
Boy" he growled disapprovingly,
that's my hat your dog Is snifhng.'
Just then a fresh gust of wind
snatched up the gray felt and carried
it along the street. Mickey, In his
glory, gave chase with shrill barks and
high-toned yells. The dog caught the
hat down in the next block While way
back there Terry stamped his feet,
whistled and called, Here, Mick, come
on, McDevlin, bring it home" And
with the hat held firmly between his
sharp teeth, half carried and halt
dragged, Mick McDevlin did come
home.
"VOUR dog" said the man, looking
at his hat, "is a-quite q dog,
isn't hep"
Terry patted Mickey's head proudly
"Oh, yeah, mister, my dogs swell" )"
But that warm glow in his heart fled
on sight Of the red and gold valentine
in old Rhinegartner's windows.
Terry gulped and motioned for the
man to bend nearer. Hey, mister" he
whispered lest McDevlin hear him,
would va like to to buy him?"
Mister looked overwhelmed at the
prospect.
mo, boy. I don't think So" But,
seeing the tears in Terry's eyes, "Well,
what kind of dog is hep"
"Oh, Mick's all kinds, mister" Terry
confided. MY nom says he's mixed.
. He's awful handy to have around. u
Terry added earnestly. He patted his
dogs head. "Ain't you, Mick?" Then
he went over and whispered something
right in his dogs f1oppy ear. Gosh,
McDevlin," he asked him, "what'u I do
without ya?"
A FTER a moment the man said, ~

sides, think he deserves a reward for
catching my hat"
"Ya do? Square in the eye, va do?"
Terry looked at him anxiously. YOU'RE
not foolin', are ya?"
mo" the man almost smiled. He
gave Terry a quarter and walked away.
Terry ran into the candy store while
the glass door banged dangerously be-
hind him. He held his breath for a
moment after he had asked for the
valentine. Old Fritz Rhinegartner
kept shaking his head and saying,
"Nein, nein, Terry, das iss not for
kinder" But finally he did sell Terry
what he wanted.
That afternoon Terry watched his
nom as she opened valentine that
was magnificently, relentlessly crimson.
He was very quiet as she read its mes
sage more to herself than to any one
else. valentine greetings to my dar-
ling wife"
"And jirnmers, McDevlin. she WIZ
cryin'."

said Terry without even glancing at
him. NAV, don't wanna play" Terry
sighed and looked longingl5 over his
shoulder at the brilliant valentine dis
play in Rhinegartner's candy store.
His eyes were fixed approvingly on a
distinctive specimen more dazzling
even than the rest.
"Gee!" he said softly. Would sure
like that. But we can't buy it now,
McDevlin. Nav, we can't" The glow
Of his voice dulled to regret. So they
sat there quietly in thought for a
while.
SUDDENLY Terry jerked himself up
right. "Jimmers, Mick, fingers
crossed Maybe it's there. Maybe I
Just didn't touch it." He felt again
with his hand into his torn overalls
pockets. Left pocket, right pocket, top
pocket. He shook his head. Nav, it
amt. And that's all the pockets got,
Mickey" he explained, land it amt in
any Of 'em. Guess just lost the dough
when socked that guy for calling me
names on account of me sissy mon-
ECKER" And Terence Valentine Nc
Devlin was lost in his thoughts and
his tears.
As long as he could remember this
would be the first Valentines day that
he hadn't given his mother valentine.
He never understood exactly why, es-
pecially when it was his birthday, but
nom always looked awful sad on that
day. And he wanted to make her look
awful glad cause then she'd say he was
a good boy and smile at him SOS she
just looked beautiful. Once when he
was little guy and used to sit on
Mom'S lap she had told him that his
pop had been killed the day before he
was born and so he was sent to help
her.
You see," said Terry seriously to
Mick, me MON was crying when she
woke me up this morning." She had
said he was year older now and that
his father must be awful proud when
he looked down from heaven and saw
what fine son he had. But bis nom
had sounded so sad that Terry had
ducked his head under the covers and
cried, too.
WHEN he got dressed he ran right
out the door, straight down the
street in the direction Of Rhinegart-
ner's candy store and straight ran
bang into Gus Tendstrom, who always
wanted fight. Before he was on his
way again Terry had had to give Gus
a sock on the nose to prove he wasn't
sissy. And the nickel that opened
the way to swell big valentine with
red and gold hearts had been lost in
The vigorous movement that a sock on
the nose entails.
Terry glanced up long enough from
watching the papers that whirled down
Fulton street to look unhappily at his
dog.
I'VE gotta do something. We can't
let MON down. don't know what,
Mick, but we gotta do it." Then the
thought came to him. Lots of guys
liked Mick. He could sell But,
gee, no. He wouldn't finish the words

OF course, Yowler was mistaken.
That is, he was mistaken in thinking
that Prickly Porky had thrown that
quill purposely. or that he could throw

in Tipping his tail about he had
thrown it. But is was pure accident.
