words aloud Then and all and with bis lowest as she turned for she had frightened hereon by speaking aloud thot she saw a deeper shade amongst the shadows and heard a step on the carpet She ran to the hall door There was no one to be seen and she rejoiced such a foolish thing to say and usually she was not silly but she did want one very much There are no longer any valentines Oh hut there are you say I know The shop windows teem with them I know it the tine proper ceased to I when the spurious valentine was printed in quantities and to be had of every stationer The pretty tilings your Itmale relatives send you as they do Christmas cards or the ugly things vulgar enemies forward per post are not to be considered- In Hettys girlhood the lover who dar ed not utter his passion openly was the sender of the valentine lie could not buy one but he could get lbedged paper or lace paper on which to write and he could use his brush and color box and do his with loves and doves and his muse and his lyre or If he were rich pay some poet or painter to do it for him Such valentines you may still find amongst the treasures of ancient na tions or ol antique spinsters all over of land And it as Mich a one for on that thl little Hetty wished that February night Other girls got hem She had never had one in fact she had never had a lover never an offer for mar though she was eighteen years old and girls married early in those days To he sure she would have refused every one for she had a little of her own one that she hid in her soul deep down where no could sec it Site liked William too well to marry any one Though as for William he she knew felt no thing for her beyond friendship or was a match in any way suitable for William was only her lathers ap prentice Her lather was a

she had dreamed of encircled with posies of some fairyland for none such grow here lay her first valentine to her mind the most poem ever written though no lloint the clit ics as hard to pleu then at now might have thought differently A valentine Oh the lovely thing Oli the precious thing kissed it twenty times for its beauty and tried in vain to guess who could have sent it But she did not chow it to anyone She had always thot that if she had a valentine she should show it to the other girls and let them lease her about it She had believed she should be proud of her conquest as they were Hut now she only wanted to keep it to her self Of course her mother taw it and marvelled and admired as she did but no one else But the girls checks grew brighter and her eyes softer and she sang little love songs in the twilight And In these she said to the moon very care ful not to speak aloud however I have as dear a valcrwtlnc s any them And yet though she half expected it nothing came of the valentine No stranger sought an introduction No wonderful revelation of one who had long loved her secretly was made She helped her mother keep the house She fluted the ruf fles Mid skimmed the

vexed and grieved and wept secret hut was so haughty in her manner towards him that her mother reproved her Kor William Vcr is a worthy young man said and of good birth and well- behaved and I am ashamed to sec you use him so because he is your fathers apprentice and you have mon ey He kind to him Oh ho can do very well without that said little Hetty and went up stairs with her nose in the air and cried as If her At last fib had three valentines each finer than the other and Mr Moles had and hud thanked him for his compliment and declined on the grounds hehad not thought of marrying any one ami at least he did not worry her by calling and looking at her hut approvingly as though she were a curiosity in a museum It Is your snubbing him Mis Hanson said to Hetty You use him badly Why I
