modetty suggested that the ought Bot
to accept and wear gift from an un-
known giver and sh withdrew tt
quickly from her finger and determin-
ed to return It. Hut now the question
arose: to whom? where!
'After reasoning with ber conscience
ahe at aln put In on ber ftniier. It fitted
nicely and produced a mysterious pre-
tentlmrnt of coming bliss and a sensa-
tlon about her heart which alia bad
never known before painted ber cheek
with the lovely color of the tea roses on
her valentine and ahe paid emphatic-
ally. "He ahall be my Ideal; I can con-
atruct him aa I llke-1 ahall make hlru
aa handsome aa Apollo and a siftcl;
and who can chide n.e If 1 became a

that I think of blm.
Xer aoliloquy and atate of curiosity
were Interrupted by a friend and com-
rade of the art et-hool. Mr. Tlrd. a
widow lady of wealth and an enthui-
lt about art. Ilk bereelf. whoe er-
rand waa to propoM a Journey together
to tb rradl of art Entell waa only
too glad to accompany her and accept-
ed without hesitation. A feeling aba
could not account for prevented her
from abowlng her valentine or apeak-
Ing until 1on afterward of tb little
talisman that now aoemed almost Ilk
a betrothal ring. The congenial friends
mad their trip a series of delights
and would have regretted reaching
their destination so aoon If they bad
rot been Just In time fur on of those
annual fetes which the American club
of artists delight to celebrate.
As they were speeding along on their

Meal the beau::fal hero whom her Ini-

A writer In tb Young Churchman
tella a (tory about th great painter.
Uonardo da Vinci who waa once em-
ployed by the emperor to produce a
picture which waa to be finished by a
certain time. After working for aoms
time at hi task however the artist
sweated hlms. If fmm hi studio for a
week or more doing apparently noth-
ing towards completing the p'rture.
Th emperor hearing of this sent a
ciurUr to remonstrate with the paint-
er and. when th lat er did not herd
the remonstrance commanded him to
come Into the roval presence.
"Why have you negiecttd th paint-
ing ot the picture we have ord red and
v.Mch tt I urgent shall be socn fin-
ished?" waa the question f.crnly put to
the trlst.
"I have not neglected It sire" was
the answer.
"Hut we know that you bare not bad !

tbe wondering emperor.

A Uoi4 Medal.
I shall never forget a lersoa I re-
ceived when at t-hool at A . W
aw a boy namid Watson driving a
cow to pasture. In the evening h
drov her back again we did not know
where and thl waa continued severe!
week.
The boyt attending the tchocl were
all tont of wealthy parents and Home
of them were dunce enough to look
with disdain on a scholar who had to
drive a cow.
W'lth almlrald" good tature Wa'son
bore all their attempt! to aanor him.
I luppoee Watson." tald Jacknon
another boy. one dsy "I suppose your
rather latm Is to make a miikmaa of
you?"
"Why not?" asked Wataon.
"Oh nothlnj. Only don't leive much
water In tbe cant after you rims
tbern that'i all."
Tbe boy laughed and Watsoa. not In
the least mortlfled replied: "Never
fear. If ever I am a milkman. I'll glv
good measure and goid milk."
The day after this cnaversatloa there
n a public examination at which
ladle and gentlemen from th neigh-
boring towns were present and pr.i't
wer awarded by th principal of our
school and beta Watson and Jark-
lon received a creditable number for.
In respect to scholarship tbey were
about equal. After the ceremony of
distribution th principal remarked
that thr aat on prise consisting of
a gold rardal. which wat rarely award-
ed not o much on acount of It great
cost a because th Instan.-et wer rare
which rendered itt bestowal proper. It
was th prize of berois n. Th last
mrial wit awarded about three years
ago to a boy In th first class who rta-
cued a poor girl from drowning.
Th principal then (aid that with
the permission of the rnxpany he
would relate a short anecdote.
"Not long since some biy wen!
Eying a kit la the itrret Just at a
noor Isd on horseback rod by on his
way to tbe ml'.L The horse took fright
and threw the boy. Injuring blai to
badly that he was carried home a&d
confined some weeks to bis bed. Of the
Lo) who had unintentionally cijyed
the disaster bone followed to b arn the
fate of the wounded lad. There was o-e
boy however who witnessed the acei-
deat from a distance who not only
went to make Inquiries but stayed to
render service.
"Thl boy oon learned that th
wounded boy waa th grandson of a
poor widow whoa tol import con-
sisted In selling th milk of a cow of
which b wat th owner. She waa old
and lame and her grandson on whom
the depended to drive her cow to the
pasture waa now bslpleaa with hit
bruise. 'Never ciiud good woman'
aald th boy: 'I will drive th caw.'
"Hut the Madness did not stop there.
Monty waa wanted to get articles from
the apothecary. 'I have money that my
mother tent me to buy a pair ot boots
with' laid he 'but I can do without
them for a while.' 'Oh. no' tald tht
old woman '! can't consent to that;

I bought for Thomas who can't wear
them. If you would only bay these w
srauld get on nicety.' The boy bour.h!
