wnose shop was next door to the pout
ofllce. Ella was faded blond, with
light blue eyes and a face that once
had been vivaciously pretty, bnt now
wee aad and wistful. People had de
cided that Ella Flagg had begun to
droop from the moment that Will
Chandler loft Llttleford and went to
California. Borne wondered whether
Ella ever heard from Will, bnt Myra
could have told them that she did

MYttA WATTS' Muck eyes
darted bunlly to and fro ai
ulio sorted the mall on St
Valentine'! day. Myra bad
been postmistress at Llttleford for
12 yearn, and It. was laid that the
knew the handwriting of every man,
woman and child In the village. And
goMripa whispered that Myra always
read memagea on picture postal be
fore bonding them Uirougb the window
to their Indignant recipients.
Oulslde the closed window was an
expects nt crowd pressing close to the
pigeon-holes, watching Myra and ber
assistant -as they poked letters Into
the boxes and twisted their necks In
a vain endeavor to read addresses, for
Myra yl a most aggravating way of
putting letters In with the addresses
UPhIiIh down.
All the-tlnie Myra was sorting the
mall her eyes were wistfully searching
for a letter addresod to herself for
Myra Watts hsd never received a val
entine during all ber 40 years.
"Humph I" she sniffed impatiently,
s she thrust a large embossed en
velope Into a box, "that Tiropklns boy
bas sent a valentine to Llssy Edwards
I wonder whut her ma'd say If she
knew It T And here's one he's sent to
May Weeks the Impudent young
puppy and here's one for Ella I
womlerf Mura deftly tucked the
fancy envelope Into ber own private
box, and, having finished distributing
the morning's mall, pushed open the
window and proceeded to band It to
the eager girls and boys who pressed
Into the tiny post office.
The lost one to appear at the win

There are Stores in This. City
good that they-could use twice
much Advertising Space as they
now use" and make it pay!
The better the store the better the advertising pays.
Your own observations in the store-world will confirm
this truth. , .
Publicity is bad only for a bad proposition. It is just
as surely good for a good one.
v What is a "good store 1" One that really serves the,
public, protecting its patrons as to values, not merely as
to prices.
There are many stores in this city answering to that
definition completely. In every city there are always
some stored that do not. .
An important phase of a good, store's service to its
patrons is its newspaper advertising. This should be com
plete, frank, informing. It should tell the store news as
fully as a good newspaper tells the news of the day.
Perhaps the best possible new policy for the , good
stores of this city to adopt would be that of doubling the
advestising space that they use thus giving them "elbow
room;" giving them bigger opportunities foretelling their
patrons, in detail, about every selling event, about every
bargain offering, about every s,dollar's worth,, of new
. Etooks. Of course, even, half enough advertising pav the
really good store; but adequate advertising would "pav
much better. . , ,A :

"That Tlmpklns Boy Has Sent a Val
entin to LI My Edwards."
not only Myra didn't have much to
say ubout Klla Flagg. Once they bad
been close friends, hut for many ears
they had been estranged.
Klla'i mutcv questioning face ap
pen red at the post ofllce wlcdow.
Myra nodded curtly, handed Ella a
i.?wpeper and a letter containing, a
clrculnr. Then she turned her back
and bepnn to cloe up the ofllce tor the
noon bonr.
IVhen sin- whs all alone Myra locked
the do-ir and took Ella's vulentine out
f hrr cwy hex. It was postmarked
from p t( n In California and the
handwriting was unmistakably that of
Will Cliundler. Myra knew It at once.
She bad bud several note; from Will
before he Ml In love with Ella Flags.
The envelope was addressed to Ella
Flngg.
Myra's blnck eyes biased jealously as
she held the missive up to the light
and discerned through the thin paper
the dainty decoration of a lovely val
entine. A little printed verse could be plain
ly read :
Amid three wilds I wander In despair,
I atgh for her, io faithless, yet so fair.
Te streams, ye woods, ye breetes tell -The
Monies of soul for her I feet
A bit of .doggerel verse yet It set
Myra's heart to beating rapidly.
Will Chandler bad sunt this- valen
tine to Ella Flu eh what wonder-working
thing' was this Love which, could
bridge the long years of estrange
ment! Year after year Will Chandler had
sent a similar message to Klla Flngg
and El la hod never received it! Still,
Will had doggedly sent tte valentines.
Nothing in between, but on the days
devoted to the kindly saint. Will sent
some message to. b'" old sweetheart
and Elln never got it 1. ., .
Myra Watts might have explained,
but she didn't , ;. : ' ... V
Todny her eyes glowed fiercely, as
she hid the letters away In her tmreau
at home.
'"They ought to be my -valentines,"
she defended herself. "So I'll keep
em here!" v '
That night Myra closed the post of
fice at eight o'clock and started for
home. Her way led . past the little
house where Ella Flngg lived with an
invalid mother. When Myra passed
Mrs. Jacob Hill's house that good lady
ran out with, a paper bat bag In ber
hand. ....,.
"Oh, , Myra," she panted, "do yon
mind leaving this, at Ella Flagg's
house? She's promised to .fix my
liournlng bonnet tonight so'a I can go
to Uncle, Benny's funeral tomorrow.
I'm much obliged," she called over her
shoulder as she hurried Into the house.
Myra turned Into the Flngg gate and
went around the path to the side door.
There was a light In the sitting room
and . Myra peeped through the glass
panels of the door before she knocked.
What she saw there stayed her hand.
Ella Flagg was all alone in the
room. Myra knew -that Mrs. Flagg
was asleep In the adjoining bedroom.
Ella's fair head was pressed disconso
lately Into the cushions of the soft
and her thin shoulders were heaving
convulsively.
Clenched In one thin band was a
crumpled envelope and Myra shrewdly
guessed it might be some old love let
ter from Will Chandler.
Myra's tough little heart suddenly
melted was tbla evening a repetition
! of many other endings of St Valen
I tine's day 7 , Had Ella Flagg hoped
: each year that she would receive some
message, from her absent lover?
And then the full realization of the
misery she had caused brought a
! dreadful feeling of wretchedness to
her heart' . .'. .
I "I must tell ber," decided Myra sud-
. denly: "I must tell her about the let
; ters I have kept backr-andwhen he
I comes after her, I must tell him, too,
and I must help her get ready for
