Didn't I see that gentleman who lives next door come through the hedge, go round the house with something, then go quietly back to his house?" For some time the widow was Ineliiud to disbelieve Billy's version of the valentine, then she acknowledged lo herself that sh had fancied that the bachelor was quite often observing lior and almost seemed at times Irnilned to speak.

In a moment of weakness the moth

er gave her consent. The dog was a

poor, scraggly little creature, but had big soft brown eyes with a pleading

look in them. However, the mother could see that with good feeding and

i good care It would improve In looks, j The next day the widow's troubles began. She tied the dog to a tree, thinking to keep him out, In the air part of t-he day, but unfortunately the dog had had no training, so every passerby was jumped at, as far as the rope would allow, and a fiert'O-sound-I in;, bark accompanied the jump. j IsVxt door the lone bachelor, Mr. il.ill, was laid up in his room for a tew days by an attack of grippe. The barking of the dog soon got on his nerves, but he was too much of a gen . rlentan to complain to the widow. However, he told Billy lu very plain

language what he thought of his dog.

He had been in the habit of dozing comfortably till eight o'clock, but after

the dog came there was no more sleep for him nfter seven, the hour when

Bob was lt out to play and incidental

ty to bark. Billy declared he wouldn't

top Bo from barking, for h wouldj

I' sure to ti' burglars away, the fact of the ease beirg. however. Bob was : perfect coward and would have nu. away if threatened by anyone.

As these thoughts ran through her mind she said: Well. Billy, if I had a vuleutine I might be tempted to return the compliment." Then the wise Billy thought that a

good Idea ; If he should send Mr. Hall j a valentine from his mother, then he'.

would frei still safer about his dog. The next day Just as Billy saw the bachelor approaching his home he dropped the valentine at the front door and ran, making sure that Mr. Hall

should recognize him. , , ' la a few days Mr. Hall asked one of the neighbors to Introduce him to the widow, and finally an interested, party asked permission to bring him to call upon her. i Each believing the other had sent a Talentine, they felt somewhat flattered by the attention, and they proceeded to be very agreeable to each other. Mr. HrII called frequently nfter that. He made much of Billy, and even spoke a good word for the dog.: Hilly felt very proud of himself and his plans for his dog, but one day Ids mother said : "Billy, Mr. Hall Is going to be your new father. Billy felt crushed, for as he told one of his boy friends: T didn't want any stepfather; gee, I was only planning to keep Bob.' But poor Billy not only gained a

stepfather whom he did not want, but

lost his dog. Bob had not been trained in any way and his barking at strangers continued and increased.

Toward tbe end of the sixteenth century St. Franc is de Sales set himself sternly to purge the saint's day, even of Its lovemakinc notes, valentines and frivolities. For the names of the opposite sex drawn as "sweethearts ordained by fate for the corning year" he substituted the name of the martyr himself and others, and pious mottoes replaced the amorous doggerel. But, as In the past, he found the populace refued to give up thir mate choosing and merrymaking. So, after almost fifteen centuries, St. Valentine still presides as the patron saint of spring-
