HOOPER MEDICINE CO., Dallas, Texas.
frJjM T was St. Valentine’* day
j&l and Freda Traumer wai
yB bustling about the kitchen
* making great preparations.
Prof. Max was coming to
I j tea, and, in Freda’s opin
ion, this teacher of astron
omy was the greatest of men. The
emperor himself was not half so wise
or handsome, the foolish maiden
thought. Her father, who was an
enthusiastic student of astronomy,
was a great friend of Herr Max, and
the latter often came to his house,
where there was a fine observatory.
When the two men went up to the
house-top observatory to study the
heavenly bodies Freda, eager to learn,
went with them; but somehow the
constellations, comets, meteors and
asteroids she heard them speak of
6o fluently were all so confusing that
she could understand nothing, try
hard as she might.
But she learned one thing, which
was not down in the books, all un
consciously. During those long, de
licious nights spent upon the house
top watching the glowing heavens,
she had learned the lesson of love
and all the affection of her pure,
young heart was lavished upon the
professor.
When the little German maid first
realized that she loved him she was
annoyed at her audacity and trembled
lest he find it out, but later on when
the noble passion had filled her whole
heart she trembled lest he should
never know, or care for her in return.
“Then,” she tearfully said to her
self, “I can but die.” To young, ro
mantic maidens it seems an easy
thing to die for love unrequited, but
he was wise who said that “men have
died and worms have eaten them, but
not for love."
The soft summer nights passed and
they met no more upon the roof, but
the two astronomers spent many an
evening in the Traumers' cozy little
parlor, with their books and charts
spread on the table beside them. Then
the young hausfrau sat by quietly
knitting, feasting her eyes upon the
beloved countenance, but if by chance
Herr Max glanced in her direction,
she dropped her blue eyes, blushing
deeply. And as she always dropped
her eyes she never saw the tender
smile that played upon his lips when
ever she repeated this harmless ma
neuver.
When St. Valentine's day came the
bright flower of hope blossomed in
Freda's heart, for this was surely the
opportunity she sought and she hoped
the good saint would lend her his
aid. With loudly beating heart she
entered the stationer’s shop and
asked the young clerk to show her
the valentines. She pressed her hand
against her heart to still its beating,
making, as she did so, a far prettier
picture than any of the painted graces
on the valentines before her.
Some one, passing by, caught a
glimpse of her and thought so, too;
but Freda was so engrossed in trying
to find a valentine to suit her, that she
did not know the professor had seen
her and had passed on with that rare
ly tender smile upon his lips.
At last she found what she wranted.
It was a very simple little valentine,
but it told an eloquent story. On the
top of the white embossed page
blazed a glorious star, with beams of
light radiating from every point, and
beneath it, as if basking in its rays,
lay a tiny heart pierced by an arrow
shot from the bow of a roguish cupid.
“Ach!" thought Freda, "the star is
Herr Max and mine is the heart. But
I fear he can never stoop low enough
to reach it.” With this humble
thought she tremblingly addressed the
envelope and then ran to drop it In
the nearest postbox. A score of times
she wished it back and reproached
herself for her boldness, but now he
was coming to tea and if he under
stood he would reveal it in his conduct
and she would soon know her fate.
At last the preparations for supper
were completed, and, with a tired sigh,
she sat down by the bright fire to rest.
Pleasant visions filled her mind, and
she did not hear the footsteps which
softly drew near, and only knew she
was not alone when something
dropped into her lap.
It was the valentine she had sent
that morning—he had brought or sent
it back to her, she knew not which, for
grief and shame so overcame her she
dared not turn her head to see.
Thinking he thus refused her love,
she was about to cast the now hateful
valentine into the fire and then rush
away and never look at the professor
again, when something stopped her.
Her eyes fell upon the valentine. It
was the same, and yet not the same,
for, although the great star still blazed
at the top of the card, the little heart
was no longer far beneath it, but, in
stead, rested within the heart of the
star.
A deep joy filled little Freda's
breast! When, at last, she took
courage and looked around she saw
the professor standing behind her, and
saw for the first time the tender,
loving smile as he gently drew her to
him and folded her in his arms.
Then she knew, in truth, that the
beautiful star had stooped down and
raised the little heart to its own level.

SHE COULD NOT WALK
For Months—Burning Humor on Ankles
—Opiates Alone Brought Sleep
—Eczema Yielded to Cuticura.
"I had eczema for over two years.
I had two physicians, but they only
gave me relief for a short time and I !
cannot enumerate the ointments and ■
lotions I used to no purpose. My ank- i
les were one mass of sores. The itch
ing and burning were so intense that
I could not sleep. I could not walk for
nearly four months. One day my hus
band said I had better try the Cuticura
Remedies. After using them three
times I had the best night’s rest in
months unless I took an opiate. I
used one set of Cuticura Soap. Oint
ment, and Pills, and my ankles healed
in a short time. It is now a year since
I used Cuticura, and there has been no
return of the eczema. Mrs. David

CARE OF THE KITCHEN
Clean Walls Are an Essential to
Sanitary Cooking.
It la not only important to know
how to cook, but it is equally impor
tant to know where to cook. Cook
ing In a dirty kitchen can never pro
duce good food. The idea is simply
preposterous, yet kitchen walls are
left for months—sometimes for years
without cleansing.
In the first place the kitchen wall
should have a light tint that the mer
est fleck of dirt can be seen; that the
sheerest cobweb can be brushed
away; that the tiniest water bug can
be discerned. It is all folly expecting
clean food in a kitchen with dirty
walls.
Never put a wall coating on a
kitchen wall that is mixed with hot
water or that has glue in it, or sour
milk in it if mixed with cold water.
Glue walls made from horses’ hoofs
colored up with cheap colorings do
not indicate good housekeeping. The
glue is constantly flecking off, fall
ing into the food and the idea of food
flavored with glue made from horses’
hoofs is not appetizing.
Kitchen walls to be thoroughly sat
isfactory should be alabastined the
same as every other wall in the
house. They should be coated regu
larly in the spring and fall of each
year with a light tint.
The care of the pantry requires
constant attention. The walls should
be brushed over every year, the
dishes removed from the shelves
which should be thoroughly wiped
with hot water. If there are ant
holes or any other insects in the pan
tries a thick putty of the wall coat
ing can be made and all the ant holes,
even small mice holes can be filled
with it which will protect the pantry
from the incursions of disagreeable
insects and mice.
