I'm sending greetings, Bahy Mine,
A Tiirift Stamp for a Valentine.
I know vou'd say, if yon cauld speak.
You'd like ituoLni/r every
Here's oft? that shows ono can't live
or love alone:
Sweets to the sweet, wl*.?n I was young
Tnterpresed a bashful torque;
And roses for my love, when older.
Were Valentines, as I ggrew bolder.
But love must live and love must eat.
And so this Valentine, my Sweet.
Is symbol, though an humble gift.
That love, to last, must live by thrift.
And this one contains a subtle pro
posal:
I've loved you since the age of nine.
And so T send thisValcntinc?
A Thrift Stamo?it will tell you how,
Twill grow if you start saving now.
And when you have sixteen, you see.
A big War Saver will be.
And when we have enough of those.
We'll buy a house?and then dear
knows?
You'll simply have to marry me!
If you "'a re ultra-morlern and have a
craving for the products of Greenwich
VHlsge, here's something very fine and
fresh, just picked from the vers libre
garden of Valentine sweetness:
This is to be a confession.
Unskilled at vers libre. I feel.
Nevertheless.
That I need the wide scope of its free
? .dom,
To tell my love just why
This little green square of paper
Should be my Valentine.
Last year there was Maud, who liked
roses.
Tea dances for Ma bio, wearing my vio
lets;
Susanna preferred
To go to a show; and late ?uppers
Expressed my homage to Jane.
Then came you. All I had left to con
vince you
My devotion was real /
Was the price of
This.War Savings Stamp!
But doesn't it symbolize
Thousands of future roses.
Dozens of suppers, dances and thea
tres, . . ,
For us two together?
This is^ay Valentine message.
There you are lovers, young and
-old. Uncle Sam can play Cupid as
W^ll as he can fight battiq**. All the
world loves a?Thrifty^=trrver.
ADVENTURE'S WAY
By MAIS1E BROPHY.

basked In hot sunshine, and up the j
long street where a green hill sloped |
Invitingly; then she pausrd In the gap
of the hedge, wondering In which di
rection adventure lay. For Susannh
was a child of adventure. Long ago, 1
when she had visited at Aunt Jeru- ?
sha's, in summer time, she h id be* 1
lleved that fairies lurket* l\ that
hedge, that enchanting surprises were
to be found all the way up bill.
Noyr, when Susanali'a dress reached !
the tbps of her trim high phoes, when
her soft hair was massed In wavy
colls upon her bend, she still believed
In fairies; In a slightly ^liferent way,
while light of promising adventure
shone alluringly In her dark lashed
eyes.
*1t,u thought Roe, "yon start out on
the shortest journey, sure that lovely
things are going to happen, why lovely
tilings will happen."
And always Sue was right. She
found the lovely things herself; an un
usual flower, perhaps. In some hidden
comer.
Susanah had discarded both the
town road and "the hill road for one
leading down mysteriously Into a vast
shady ravine; in the very heart of this
solitude, as she went expectantly
al<5ng she discovered a winding crystal
stream. The stream was narrow, and
some Invader had bridged it across
with stones placed wide apart. Imme
diately Susanah was possessed of a
desire to reach the other side by way
of the same tempting stones. They
were so broad and smooth; she tried |
the first one cautiously and It bore her
weight, then at her daring leap to the
second stone the adventurous light inI
her eyes deepened kthls really was bet
ter than sitting listlessly In aunt's
sleepy garden. Here was an element
of chance which sent a flush to her
QheeksH^to be_j^erched on a stone. In
midstream, wjtlf no one to come to her
aid If the Btone should slip, or If she
should find herself * unable to reach
the third stons or ^return to the first.
Susanah laughed a merry laugh,
which went echoing down stream to
where a man sat fishing. Just around
the bend. ,
The man drew tip his line abruptly
and peered around the corner; then.
believed.
"Of all the foolishness," the man j
grumbled; , he was exceedingly an
noyed that his afternoon's sport would I
be lnXerrupted. '
By way of attracting her attention,
he began to whistle softly, and Su*
sanah looked about. "Please remain
where you are for a moment," the man j
called, and made his way to her along i
the slaty beach.
She stood quite still; this man, of
course, was but part of. her coming ad
venture.
"It will be dungerous for you to try 1
to go farther," the man admonished, i
"and to move now might cause you a 1
wetting. I will wade out In a moment
apd frurry you back." I
"Carry her back 1" ?usanah was !
about to Indignantly protest, when the
stone swayed beneath her feet; in
stead. she gave a startled cry. The
man's strong arms caught her up Just
as she discovered that the soles of
her shoes were growing uncomforta
bly wet. She wondered, as her deliv
erer's high boots splashed back
through the water, at her own sense
of pcrfect confidence.
"That," he remarked severely, "was
a needlessly reckless thing to do. One
has no right to allow their whims to
carry them ln^o?" Just then he
paused, staring, for Susanah had, for
the (Trst time turned her wide eyes full
upen hits. Their glinting depths
seemed to recall to him inexplicably
certain Joyous, care-free days of his
boyhood. He smiled. Again he
looked, and it was as though he, too,
had glimpsed the fairies.
"I will not try to scold you," the
man told Susanah. She dimpled.
"I am very grateful to you," she an
swered.
"Billy," he called, ^Bllly."
Then, suddenly he raised his voice
In q hallo f
Down through the opening a boy
came racing toward them. He wore a
khaki suit, this boy, and doffed his
hat to Susnnah.
"Look after the boat and tackle,
son," the man commanded. "I am go
ing to walk up to the level."
Susanah. moving quietly at his side,
realised that in some strange manner

"I am going to ask a return for sav
ing your life," the man was saying,
laughingly; "wo are camping #ut
ck)\fn here, but IUll makes abominable
coffec. It would be too mueh to ask
today, of course, but If you could man
like to slip down here some time
nround mealtime, and Instruct him In
the art of coffee-making; that is, if
you do not live too far away?" His
voice was eager.
"Couldn't your wife teach yoor son?"
Sue stammered.

Permit me to offer a suggestion to
your correspondent, who asks in a re
cent issue about composing leaves and
pine straw.
Oomposiiing in a heap ts lime wast
ed.. Ho will get more from his loaves
put right into hlg double furrows, op~
ened with a turn plow, the same dis
tance apart as his planted rows will
be. When filled with leaves, strew
phosphate on them. To get best re
ssults, this should bo done in Decem
'her.
Before planting time, turn the mid
dles and cul it all down smooth with
a disk harrow. Then plant about a
foot to one side of the leaf rows?
never on them. This Is Important.
Then, rapid shallow cultivation, and
his crop will fruit well, and drouth
won't hurt it.
Leaves used this way arp but little
inferior to stable manure "if all re
sults are considered.?J. f*. Cooper,
in The Progressive Farmer.
