A Girl and Her Money.
Th® fact that a young woman, five
feet and one inch in height, was able
to frustrate and almost knock out a
six-foot robber, by hitting him over
the head with a purse containing her
week’s salary, is an interesting illus-
tration of the large Improvement that
has taken place in recent years, both
in the force of woman's muscle and in
the size of woman’s salary.
It may also, to the wary, seem a
warning that some good things may
be carried too far. A woman with
money has been one of the legitimate
pursuits of aspiring but Impecunious
youth since the beginning of time, and
It will be sad evidence of the passing
of some of the customs of good old
days, should the combination, once so
attractive, become in the new clvlli-
ratlon a thing to be avoided like th*
hind tear of * mile.

and then, for reasons of his own, not
wishing to be discovered by the fair
writer of the valentine, he swiftly left
the house by another path, making a
circuit which in a few moments
brought him also to the summer house,

Substantial Valentines.
In olden days valentines were pretty
gifts to some friend chosen for the
day. The lady valentines of the six-
teenth and seventeenth centuries were
honored not by anonymous verse, but
by substantial gifts.

■wered it. Could it have been that
teasing bo£ cousin of hers? If so,
she would never bear the last of it.
But no—Jim would never have put
the stone back properly.
Maud was becoming a good detec-
- I J|ve, at Least in affairs of love.
But who coula ft have been?
felt certain that no one had seen her
deposit her valentine there under the
stone; hence it being gone would ar-
gue that Fate had indeed been at
work in her behalf. But who was the
man?
And Maud dropped down on the ru»
tic seat, albeit not a romantic spot in
winter, to meditate and arrive at some
conclusion undisturbed.
She really did hope that it was not
the young clergyman; for she was not
-♦ »ii «r> in theology and was quite too
undignified for a clergyman’s wife.
“And the young doctor would not
do, nice as he is,” she said, emphatic-
ally, “for I never could be sweet and
amiable enough to share him with all
the other women in the town.”
She paused a moment and then con-
tinued:
“Ralph Is a bright young lawyer, but
so metaphysical; and, while I can oc-
casionally assume an interest in meta-
physics, that mental diet daily would
be very wearing. But don’t you think,
Miss Maud,” she continued gayly to
herself, “that you are presuming a
great deal in taking it for granted
that any one of these gentlemen
wishes to be your valentine? Oh, no!
I do not flatter myself. But the eli-
gible young men in town are so few
that I must mention them all to find
somebody, so I might as well refer to
the others. Reginald comes next, and
he does waltz divinely; but waltzing
is not very profitable, and I fear it is
poor Reggie’s strongest point. Tom
is intellectual; but he has such a
dreadful temper that I should feel all
the time as though I were living with
dynamite. Joe is a tyrant, and he is
so insanely jealous. Now, I love to
have my own way, or think I do; and.
if a man were determined to be jeal-
ous anyway, I am afraid I might be
tempted to tease him a little, so that
combination would not do at all. Only
two are left—Jack and Harold; and
Jack is a dear good boy, but not at all
commanding.” (She had forgotten
that she discarded Joe because he
was.) "And last, but not least, there
is Harold.”
But what she thought of him the
little lady did not say.
That evening, as she again sat at
the old fireplace, feeling, it must be
confessed, somewhat disappointed at
the non-arrival of her valentine, a
white missive, evidently tossed in
through the open hall window, fell at
her feet. But no one was in sight,
and, full of eager expectation, Maud
opened the sealed missive.
“Oh, how romantic! how delicious!"
she exclaimed, as, with beating heart
and dancing eyes, she read:

about that; and Harold

at pretty things of all

lingered in the shadow
of the hallway and
watched pretty Maud
Ethlyn as she sat at the
old-fashioned fireplace, one
dainty foot resting on the
brass andiron, and her
curl-crowned head bent low as with a
tiny gold pencil she wrote something
on a sheet of note paper which re-
posed, woman-fashion, in her lap.
Presently the writing ceased, and
the fair writer, thinking herself alone,
proceeded, in a way she had, to talk
to her own charming self; and Harold,
the man who listened, excused himself
on the plea that what she was saying
could be no secret, or she would not
utter it aloud, even though supposing
herself to be alone. And this is what
he heard:

What the Doctor Did.
Gustave Ullyatt has a little daugh-
ter who hasn't been well recently. The
other day a physician was called to
the Ullyatt home to see her. He ex-
amined the child with the aid of a
stethoscope. When her father came
home that evening he asked what the
doctor had said.
"Nothin’,” replied the little girl.
“What did he do?” asked Mr. Ull-
yatt
“He just telephoned me all over,”
was the child’s reply.—Denver Post
