' Isn't the 11th of February some

than loo years ago, of he r m denial
grandmother. " lio was reeling back
handed xarn before a glowing hickory
lire, in as m at and roomy a kitchen as
could le found, ai that date, in the whole
township of Y il n ing! on, in Connecticut.
" Why. let urn see f y,.s ,y , hihl, it
is ,t. alcntine's d.iy." replied the tall,
bright faced, erect "o d lady.
Ibin't put superstition into the
c hild's head, wife, ' said Grandfather
Holt, xvho was sitting in tlie chimnev
corner, peeling whiie-oak bark for the
coloring of the smooth, evenly spun and
twisted back-handed yarn.
" Why. father, then; is no superstition
or hearsay in a plain fact,'" put in a hand
some little woman, who was deftly fash
ioning pumpkin pie crust at a white, ta
ble under one of the high windows.
" To-day is the 14th of Fe bruary, and it
is St. Valentine's day a-Tos the ocean.

plained Aunt Charily, who' was weaving
blue cloth, dyed in the wool, upon a
loom that stood in the corner, nearest the.
tiie. She turned about upon her narrow
weaving bench and rubbed the dark
crock of the wool lroiu her shape y white
hands upon a corner of her wide check
linen weaving apron.
"I'm talking aUutt this morning when

it the tide of tine love runs smooth, he
will wear a green sprig in his button-hole
when he comes to meeting On Sunday
morning." ami lbiehei t i-d on her tu;itel
hood. anl said, as she ran cut again to
slide down hill on a long, smooth board :
"You will see, Aunt Chanty. -you will
see for out -elf, if you are at meeting on,
Sunday win n ilmy come in."
You may be sure that on Sunday
morning the t ill, handsome woman did
not fail of being betimes at the little,
new unfinished church upon the very
crest ot the hill top.
It was bitter cold. Then, as now, the
site of the church wa a wind-loved
spot. There was no tire, but the .eal of
t lie worshipers kept them in good plight.
' Grandmother Holt and her unmarried
daughter Chanty, and her married
laughter airs. Marcey, Rachel's mother,
and etiger little Rachel herself stood, be
fore the service-, by one of the south
windows where the sun streamed in
across the.unpainted pewjs and the bare
yellow pine floor, and kept a lookout for
their voting kinswoman.
She came at ia-t, with cheeks as pink
as a roseate sunset cloud and eyes as
bright. as the evening star. She brought
in her grandmother's hat, hi-ckory plank,
her patchwork, feather cu-hioti, ami
blue ( heck blanket, ..Mid placed, them in
the pew. For although ' i andmothcr
Marcey had rheumatism, she went to
chun h to keep up the dignity of the
family, for the benefit of her example in
the community and her own spiritual en
lightment and strengthening.
As pretty Susanna was tucking the
blanket .about her gentle grandmother,
young Thomas Knowlton tame in,
straight 0a.s au arrow and handsome
enough to set any vrettv girl's heart in a
flutter, even if he ha 1 not been her ac
cepted Valentine. In .the buttonhole of
his velvet doublet, that had come from
beyond the sea. was an evergreen spray,
and as his black eyes met tin blue eyes
of Susanna, -"they both did smile,
smiled in the meeting house, on a Sun
day morning," and so it stands upon the
records to this day.
Not only their waiting, watching and
expectant relatives .-aw the .scandalous
spectacle, but the whole congicgation
was a wit ness to it.
It was not an audible laugh, it was
not even a broad grin; it xxas only a
smile.
Innocent little Rachel told Cousin
Ratty, who 'had tarried at h tine to mind
the laby, that Susanna's smile was like
summer lightning just as sudden and
pretty, showing depths in her eye-,
blue as the sky, and his sin. le was like
the sun shin.ng out from behind a
cloud.
Her Aunt Charity gioancd: "What, is
to be auiie of a child v.Jio, at her age,
sees .- much as that in a young man's
smile. M - " .

"I haxi no 0 ,-hai i gobbed pre'-

pay no fine. Su-anna kept silent, as was
the part of an obedient wife. No one
came to the rescue. So to the jail the
yountr couple went. Grandfather Mfircey
and Grandfather Holt provided furni
fum and supplies, aud there they kept
hotw. most happily " ttntil The spring
opened.
"It is not' a very good place, but it is
much better than we had on shipboard.''
said cheerful Susanna to Parson. Noble
on one oi" h s frequent vidts. "And 1
doiit think I shall cxt be sorry for pay
ing the captain's forfeit," and she never
was.
Their fust child was ca'led Valentine,
and it is not impossible 'that by search
ing among the weather worn head
stones in the obi Willington burying
ground you may tind his grave.
Aunt Charity xxas s chagrined at the
way the whole affair turned out that it
took Judge John.' Fuller the whole of
the remainder of the winter to console
her, and in the mean while she concili
ated him for having jilted him years be
fore he married his wife, and -it trans
pired that she became the faithful step
mother of the six children.
"St. Valentine's day has mad'? a dif
ference to ic,' said little Pacini. "I

of languages, though he 1 egan giving her

Then he changed his mind and dropped

too much. "r- lie g.ta-p' l the rudiments of

In about .an hour he called, lie was in

"I-or what:"
"To escape by, of "course. Here is
