A discussion followed as to tM genuine­ ness of the coin. It was bright and new, and had a clear ring, but it wouldn't go with the conductor. The passenger paid his fare with another coin, still holding the alleged counterfeit in his hand. * "Why, I hav.e a mate to it,* said a man sitting close by.

All day her pupils had been winking and nodding mysteriously; and missives tender, grotesque, be-laced and highly- colored, had Bitted from one to the other under her very eyes, and in spite of her utmost efforts to keep order. She was thoroughly disgusted with youth, sentiment, cupids, darts, hearts, and the time of the year. "Perfectly senseless, together," she said to herself, when at last the chil­ dren were dismissed, the school-room door locked, and she was picking her way home to her boarding house through the mud of the spring after­ noon--for in Virginia there are many balmy days in February, and the four­ teenth seems not quite so incongruous a mating season as with us in the frozen north. X Miss Mills was froin the North-- from New England--as one could see at a glance. She was trim of figure and precise, a trifle stiff and cold outwardly. Her eyes were somewhat steely in their sincerity. Her mouth was a little se­ vere ; her dress, the very type of neat­ ness and propriety. She stepped care­ fully along the spongy road, set­ ting her slim feet in the dry spots, hold­ ing her skirts high, while a disdainful expression lingered about her lips. "Valentines!" She had never re­ ceived but one, and she hoped no one would presume to send her another. Yet that one, she remembered, had been very pleasant. As she reached the path of powdered oyster shells, hard and clean as a pave­ ment, her expression grew Boftfer, and srocollwutiois of «M3f> v«lenthl© beamed brighter. After all, Rho ought not to be too hard on the children. That valentine? It thad come from John West, her old playmate at home. His mother had written it for him on a fair sheet of paper, tied roun'd with blue ribbons; there were no gaudy pictures, no bits of tinsel, only verses. How did they go? Oh. yes: "Gentlo Mary, sweet and fair, With bright blue ee'n atidboony Listen to this quest of mine, And be my little valentine. * Trash, of course; yet how she had prized it! He had given it to her when they parted after an afternoon's coast­ ing. She had kept it for years. One day, when she saw John West's mar­ riage in the newspapers, she burned them up, the foolish lines. What had become of him ? she won­ dered. They had a silly misunder­ standing once when he came home for his college vacation. Lovers? Certainly not. When his father and mother died so nearly at the same time, and his home was broken up, she was away at school. He disappeared in the great world somewhere with only a vague line to her, hinting at the *fnture explanation when fortnne should have favored him. An incoherent letter that needed no an- Bwer. That was all she knew of him. Then her own life had altered. Her mother passed away and the homestead went to a distant heir. She became a plodding school teacher poor and proud; yet not altogether unhappy after all, only a trifle sad, as now, after a hard day's work, and a rush of memories coming unbidden. This day was over at any rate; no more valentines for a year, and none at all for her ever again. John West! pooh! what was he to her after all these years? It was a oomfort to walk on a decent path. With a sigh she relaxed her hold on her petticoats and looked up at the scene before her. It was enough to clear her brow, to turn her into pretty, •erene Mary Mills again as she gazed. A summer-like expanse of sea and Bky. The banks growing green in patches to the water's edge. The soft lapping of the waves beside her. The sound of spring in the air--birds chirp­ ing, a distant bleating of young lambs, the song of an idle boatman, the shouts of children at play not too near. Oh, it was inspiring, delicious, this Valen­ tine's Day in the Old Dominion. Her Northern heart stirred with the sweet­ ness of it all. She was glad to be here, glad to live though sometimes work was tedious and existence hard to her young ^hungry soul. She stopped a moment at the wharf to watch the oyster-boats gliding by, and a sailboat dipping, slipping along, the shadows shifting on its broad white wings. A heavy barge was being towed past, silently, except for the singing of the dusky barge men chanting with plaintive, thrilling voices: "Oh, de -winter, de winter, da wintorU T"PTI be ober children; De winter, de winter, de winteî Il aoon be ober children; De winter, de winter, de winterU soon be ober children! Yes, my Lord (• Positively, as she listened the tears stood in her eyes. What queer touch­ ing songs they sang! The winter seemed literally quite over. Would it ever be full spring time again for her? While the refrain still sounded in her ears, a different kind of music mingled With it -- the happy music of a little child's gay laugh. Small children and babies always appealed irr|sistibly to Mary Mills; the mother, wai atnmf in spite of h«r steely eyes, anA her impatience with the bovs ana giris of the kchoolroom. The laagh nag out again and then ahepercemNi »ome strangers drawing near--a gentleman holding by the hand: a little boy, and with them a boatman frith oars over his shoulder--evidently a visitor from the hotel near by. Like all other visitors, they were going out rowing. The child alone had interested Miss Mills. She noticed his bright in­ telligent face and happy air, as! he skipped along in the sunshine, as if he oouid not keep still an; more than the birds and iamoe could. While she admired the little fellow, the 'gentleman regarded her, half stopped, went on, looked again,stepped reluctantly into the boat, hesitated, and at last turned abruptly and walked np to her. "I beg your pardon," he said, ' out yon look so ranch like some one I used to know. My name is John West--is yours " The prettiest blush suddenly fl-- np in Miss Mills' thin cheek. "Yes; I am Mary Mills," she said sim­ ply, and held out her neatly gloved hand. "I knew it; I was sure of it," cried the other heartily. " Mary Mills at last, and here, of all unlikely places. I have been to the old home to find you, but no one knew where you were." "No, I have not written of my where­ abouts. There is no one now, especi­ ally to write to," "Yes, yes," said her friend, "it is all too sad. I did not know till lately. And now, how strange! Yet, after all, we were sure to meet; the world is small. I am so glad. But come take a row with us. This is my boy, Phil. Phil, oome here, I want you* to see papa's friend. You used to like chil­ dren--little boys--Mary?" Again that rosleaf blush. "I like them still," said Mary. Where was his wife? she wondered. Then Phil ran up, and she stooped to greet him gladiy. "We are going np the creek," he said joyfully, "up Sunset Creek--have yon been there? "No," she answered. "Then come along," insisted John West, "come and tell me all about your­ self. Are you stopping at the hotel V Of all restful, irresponsible, dream like pleasures in this world, the great est must be this gliding between earth and sky. The shore, with all cares, fades away. You have only to fold your hands and relax entirely, soul and body. If the day is calm and golden, if a kind, responsive face smiles on you, if a child's innocent delight emphasizes the happy time, then what more can one ask for ? Again, across the water, came the song, faintly, as if to remind her that there was no doubt about it: "Ob, de winter de winter, de winter'11 goon be ober children. Ye», my Lord!" "You have changed very little," said John West, presently. "You have changed a great deal," she answered. "For better or worse?" "I don't know yet." "Honest as ever," laughed her com­ panion. "Phil, this young lady used to coast down hill with me. We've had many a famous ooast together. Do you remember, Mary?" "Yes, I remember everything that ever happened at home. 1 think--how the spray from the oars does fly in one's face." And she touched her cheek with her handkerchief. "Papa," whispered Phil, "you've made the pretty ladj cry." "Then you go and^ oomfort lfor,u ho Whfoporer! back^ "Do you know?* said Phil, slipping a little hand into hers. "Do you know that this is St. Valentine's day?" Mary nodded and smilea. she knew it. "How many valentines did you have?" said the boy. "Not one," she laughed. "How many did you have ?" " O, lots. One was from grandmother, I know. Mamma always used to send me one." Used? "Could John West be a wid­ ower? "See the men catching crabs, Phil," interrupted his father. And so they drifted along. There was no chance for personal talk. He told her he had come to this place for rest and a change for his boy, who Juad been ill. Mary told him that she was teaching a school of white children in the town and found the climate good for her. The oreek grew narrow and now and then a cabin peeped from the bushes along itB banks, and curious bare-footed little imps iau out to stare at them. The sky grew purple, and crimson, and amber, like another sea, where many islands basked in a heavenly glory. By the time they reached the wharf it was all one stretch of fire behind the distant pine trees. Then, as they saun­ tered up the path, he spoke of his wife's death two years ago, of his busy life, and the change that had come to them. Here you are, homeless, hard at work," he ended. "And here am I like a ship adrift, with only my boy. there for anchor." When he left her at her house door, he said to himself: "She is a bit of New England, sound and sweet to the oore, pure and «hi!1 as a May-flower, and as sweet. "Godbless her." "He is the same impetuous, noble John I used to know, thought Mary with a friendly glow at her heart. That evening, before the twilight had quite faded, while the stars were be­ ginning to shine in the sky above, and tremble in the creek below, when the breath of the sea, and the constant snatches of singing entered her cham­ ber, a child's knook came at the door. When she opened it there stood little Phil. "It is late." he said, "but papa let me come because I teased; I was so sorry you hadn't a valentine. And I asked papa to write one to you. He said he did send you one once, and he was afraid to send another; but I wouldn't be afraid of you, you are so nice and pretty. And so be wrote it. Now you've got one, haven't you ?" The letter ran as follows: "Phil says he likes you. Nor do I think that strange, for I love you, Mary, I have always loved you. Somehow I failed to win you. They told me you were engaged and soon to be married. I know now that it was all a mistaka I was an impulsive fellow. I am still. Once I sent you a valentine. My boyish heart was full to the brim that day. It feels so now, and I will not rest until you have answered this, and claimed it. Mary, will you love me and little Phil ? The past is full of sadness.--Let us be happy together at last?" And in the dim light Mary caught the wondering child in her arms sad kissed him tearfully. Y@s> the winter was over at last, and spring, warm and sonny, flooded THE CELEBRATED JUGGERNAUT Facte Abiat tt>« ttreat Tempts, tot eml Ifioli. The city of JaggernMat has about 50,000 inhabitants, but as there is a re­ ligious festival held there once every month, the population constantly within its borders falls but little short of 150,000. On both sides of the principal street are almost unbroken lines of Hindoo temples, all of which are over­ shadowed by the grfeat Tepaple of Jug- ernaut, whioh stands at the southern extremity of the main street. The "great temple" rises to a height of nearly 300 feet, and is surmounted by a bronze covered dome, the point of which reaohes 160 feet higher. The wall which surmounts this gigantic pagoda is a square with sides 650 feet in length; is eighteen feet thick at the bottom and nearly forty feet high. Be­ sides the great pagoda in honor of Jug­ gernaut, the inolosure contains temples and idols dedicated to dozens of other Hindoo deities. All of the idols, says St. Louis Republic, are monstrous la design and frightful in appearanoe. That to Krishna (another name for Juggernaut) is painted blue and has a face hidious in the extreme* According to Hindoo legend Krishna was killed i by a hun­ ter. His bones were found under a tree, and brought before King Indrady* umna, who was directed by one of the gods to form an image of Jagantah (perhaps Juggernaut ; see John W. Wright's "Idol worshippers of India," page 355), and place Krishna's bones inside. Visvakarma, a divine archi­ tect and sculptor, undertook to make the image, but being hurried by the King, left off in anger. So Jaganath was left without hands or feet In com­ pensation Brahma gave the image eyes and a soul. It may be seen by this legend that it was originally on ac­ count of the saintly bones within it that the image was venerated. Besides Krishna, or Juggernaut, two others of the idols are provided with immense cars or chariots. The car of Juggernaut is thought to be the largest, wheeled vehicle that has yet been made in the world. It is thirty- four and one-half feet square at the base and forty-three and one-half feet in heigth, mounted on sixteen wheels, each six and one-half feet in diameter. Once each year, at the great annual March festival, Juggernant, mounted on the apex of his stately car, is taken to a house about one and a half miles in the country, where a female image ii supposed to be waiting to beoome his bride. The removal of the chariot from the shrine to the oountry house being a proceeding holy in the extreme, no animals are used for drawing the chariot, men, women and children only being permitted to perform such righteous services. On this occasion either five or seven ropes are attached to the front of tho car, the middle one having been twisted from hair cut from the heads of female devotees. It was a long-cherished be­ lief in Christian countries that many pilgrims sacrificed themselves upon these gala days by falling prone before the car and allowing the ponderous wheels to pass over their bodies. It is probable that the accounts of these self-sacrifices have been too highly col­ ored, and that the great loss of life upon such occasions, when thousands of frantic devotees are congregated together, comes more from accident than from a desire to start for heaven from directly under the wheels of the holy oar. , mown From Bis Engine* Fred Bussell, who id a firerirftTrtm the Maine Central railroad, had a thrilling experience tbe other night while on a freight train running from Vance bo ro to Mattawamkeag. It was cold and stormy and a heavy wind prevailed, sc that the run was a very dreary one. When the destination had been nearly reached, Bussell happened to re­ call that the wrong train numbers were displayed in front of the locomotive headlight, a violation of the rule of the line, for which he did , not care to be responsible. Knowing that the error would be noticed at the next station he decided to attempt the haz­ ardous undertaking of making the change. The train was running at full speed*, but the intrepid fireman opened the cab window and crept; slowly out until he was fully on tbe baok of the huge engine. The wind seemed to blow with in­ creased furry as he crept along the guard, which was very slippery, and he was unable to keep either his footing or his hold secure. Suddenly there came a stronger gust than usual and it caught Bussell unawares and swept him from the fast moving looomotive to the stones and lrozen ground at the side of the track, and he knew no more until he awoke in the caboose on the train. Bussel had been gone from the cab but a | few moments before Engineer Lewis Gilbert became alarmed at his absence, as he could assign no reason for it. Investigating, he found that the fireman had dis­ appeared, and at once surmissed the cause. The train was stopped and slowly backed until poor Bussell was found lying unconscious where he felL He was thought to be dead after such a fall and was carried to the caboose, where'he soon partially recovered con sciousness.

IF there wasn't any opposition, there couldn't be any progress. No MAN can lift men who does not stand on the hand of God. GOD'S quarrel has never been with man. but with his great enemy. No CANNON was ever made that is half so deadly as the wine glass. As SOON as you are willing for God to rule, the devil will leave you. PERHAPS no greater wrong can be done to any man than to misjudge him, THERE is nothing that any man needs so much as he needs to know God. A HAN is not made rich by what he can get, but by what he can't loose. THE only way to make sure of Heaven is to take a long step toward it now. THE devil would rather put out his eyes than look into a looking glass. THE meaner some men are, the more angelic they want their wives to be. THE strongest man on earth is the one whq has the most complete trust in God. THE Bible is full of promises for the man who is willing to say good-by to sin. THE highest crime we oan commit •gainst God is to oppose Oar own soul's Georgia UgldatMi. Here are some stories that Gazaway Hartrtdge tells about members of the Georgia Legislature: When one of them introduced a bill on the first day, and the Speaker asked, "Shall this bill be committed or on gross­ ed?" he replied, being somewhat at a loss, Mes let it stay thar awhile, Mr. Speaker." They tell me that another brother missed the roll-call one morning, and in dire distress went to Governor Northen, humbly petitioning to be re­ instated. One of them asked another for a chew of tobacco. "I'll return the favor some time," i?ald he. "No, you needn't return it," said the other, "I'm making 84 a day and don't mind the expense." Another one went down to Bob Harde- ntairs office to know how much salary he could draw. "Oh," said the Treasurer, "I guess you can Ret all you want."
