valentine In a new envelop, much to the

of Hope, where her old lover lives, and is
Inspired by the coquettish idea of having
It pass through his hands. She oenils it
there by a servant and await. Its return.
' PART II.
Mis. Jemima had not long; to wait,
and yet It .eemed an age. before the
distribution was over, and she felt
rather than saw her brother moving
In her direction.
''Bigger an' pnrtler one 'n ever to
Aunt 'Mimle this time looks to me
like," he .aid, a. at last he laid the
great envelope upon her trembling knee.
"Don't reckon If. anything extry
In partic'lar," .he answered, not at all
knowing what she said. a. .he con
tinued her work, leaving the valentine
where he had dropped It; not touching
It, indeed, until .he presently wound
up her yarn In answer to the suppet
bell. Then she took It, with her work
basket. Into her own room, and. drop
ping It upon her upper bureau drawer,
turned the key.
The moment when she broke the new
envelope each year late at night, alone
In her locked chamber had always
been a aad one to Mis. Jemima, and
tonight It was even a sadder ordeal
than ever. She had never before known

how .he cared for tills old love-token.
A. she fat tonight looking at the
outside of the envelope, turning It over
and over In nor thin hands, groat hot
tear, fell uinn It anil run down upon
her lingers, but she did not heed them.
It was, indeed, a meueer little embodi

Against Her Check.
a. It was. she would not part with it.
She would neve send It out from her
again never, never, never.
It was even dearer now than ever
before, nfti-r this recent passage
through her lover", hands. At this
thought she rained It lovingly and laid
It against her cheek. Could he have
handled it and passed It on without a
thought of her? Impossible. And since
he had thought of her. wnat must have
been the nature of his thoughts? Was
he Jealous Jealous because somebody
was sending hi. old sweetheart a valen
tine? This year', envelope, .elected with
great pains and trouole from a sample
catalogue and ordered from a distant
city, was a line affair profusely deco
rated with love symbols.
For a long time Miss Jemima .at en
joying the luxury of nearness to her
lover that the unopened envelope had
brought her before she felt Inclined to
confront the far-away romance typi
fied by the yellowed sheet within. And
yet .he wanted to see even thi. again
to realize It. recovery.
And .o, with thoughts both eager and
fearful, she finally inserted a hairpin
carefully In the envelutw, ripping It
open delicately on two sides, so that It
might come out without Injury to its
frail perforated edges. Then carefully
holding it. .Idea apart, .he .hook it.
And now ' ' .'
Something pappened. One? of Rod's

the fumiliur pictured thing, there fell
Into her lu i) a beautiful brand new
valentine.
It was certainly a long time before
she recovered herself enough to take
the Btrange thing Into her hutiiln. and
when she did no. It was with fingers
that trembled so violently that a bit of
puper that came with the valentine
Muttered uiid fell beyond her reach.
There It lay fur fully several minutes
before she hud strength to move from
her seat to recover it.
There was writing on the fluttering
lilt of paper, but what It was and why
Miss Jemima wept over it and read it
aguin and again are other trifling
things that perhaps (rod does well not
to tell.
The details of other people' romances
are nut always Interesting to outsiders.
However, in this particular case, it
may be interesting to know thut the
woman who took charge of the old
lover's room In Hope and who had an
Investigating way with her, produced
seven or eight turn scraps of paper col
lected at this period from his .crop
basket, on each one of which was writ
ten in slightly varying terms, bits of
rough sketch of a note In which oc
curred broken sentences like the fol
lowing: " sending you this new val
entine just as hearty as I sent the old
one eighteen years "
"You sha'nt never want for a fresh
one again every year long as I live, un
less you take "
"If yon want the old one back again
and me along with it."
One of the lowest things that even a
very depraved and unprincipled person
ever did is to collect torn .craps from
anybody', waste bnsket nnd to read
them. To print them or otherwise mnke
them public la a thine really too con
temptible to contemplate in ordinary
circumstances, lint this case, if Intel

Jemima Martha Sprague.
Mis. Jemima ulwuys burned her
scraps, and so, even were It well to con
descend to seeking similar negative
testimony from her concerning her
laboriously-written reply.it would have
been quite Impossible. Certnln It Is,
however, thnt she posted a note on the
following day, and thut a good many
interesting things happened in quick
succession after this.
And then?
There wus a little wedding, quite
middle-aged. In the church on Easter
Sunday, It was the old lover's Idea to
"I Ain't I'lftcn for You, Jimmy, Honey."
have It there, as he said their happiness
was a resurrection from the dead, and
belonged to the Raster season, nnd
there was no one to object.
Miss Jemima showed her new valen
tine to the family before the weduing
came off, but in spite of all their coax
ing and begging, she observed a rigid
reticence in regard to all those that
had come between that and the old one.
and so, seeing the last one .actually in
evidence. anl rejoicing in her happi
ness, they would only smile and whis
per that they supposed he and she hod
been quar'lln it out on them valen
tines, year by year, and on'y now got to
the place where they could make up.
The old man, Ell. in spite of his in
domitable pride, had come out of his
long silence with all due modesty,
blaming himself for many things.
"1 ain't fttten for you, Jemlmy. honey,
no mo'n I was eighteen years ago," he
said, his arm timidly locking her chair,
the night before he wedding, "but cf
youkeer ennuch a.'iout me to warm over
the little valentines I sent you nigh
twenty years ago, and to make out to
live on It. I reckon I can k.vp you sup
plied with Jlst cz good ex thet, fresh

"But befo' I take you into church I
want to call yo' nttentlon to the fuc'
thet I'm a criminal li'bel to the state's
prison- for openln'.yo' mail un' if you
say so, why. I'll haf to go."
"Well. Eli." Miss Jemima answered,
quite seriously, "ef you're Il'ble t
state', prison for what you done, I
don't know but I'm worthy to go to a
hotter place for the deceit I've prac
ticed." "Well." said Ell. ' "I reefer - ef the
truth was told, the place .iere we
Jest nachelly both b'long is the Insane
asylum for the idlats we've acted."
"When I reflect that I might 'a' been
eg happy ea I am now eighteen year,
ago, an' think about all the time we've
lost."
Well"
"How comes It thet Kaster come,
po late this year, anyhow?"
The end.
