A Chauffeur Oa-? By BERTHA R. McDONALD (Copyright, lilt, by th? Mcl'lur* N*w? p*V>?r S>ndlc*(?) Whoii Mrs, Hastings discovered ^?>r daughter Mildred hiid proniliw) tp ittftis ry Harry ^f6#cott ?lie r^lvd ft groat disturbance Itiul forbade the young poo lilt* Mooing oh oh other* She wax deter mined to lawrry Mildred to one of the millionaires who visited their summer resort every year, and Mildred was ; equally determined to answer the oull of her own heart only. So there had arisen between the two a buttle royal In which the eoiumunlty was greatly Interested. Harry Prescott's only fault lay In the fact that he whs a struggling barrister, with no particular fortune save his hon eat heart and steady ways, hut that was sufficient to taboo hliu forever aa a future son-in-law for the fastidious Mrs. Hastings. She was harassed night and day try ing to keep the levers apart, but the town was not lai*ge and nothing short of locking her, daughter up seemed to solve the problem. "Mildred," she said one day, seeming ly apropos of nothing, "How would you like to make ytfur Uncle Will* am a little visit ?" "I'd love it !" answered the daughter. "But why the chang? of heart, Mum sle?" "There's been no change of heart. I suppose it's no more than human to allow you to visit your dead father's brother once In a while, even if I don't particularly like him." Mildred was a wise ^Jilld. She saw fit not to question the goods the gods provided and went away with a song In her heart nnd a merry twinkle In | 1 Mildred Wat Equally Determined. her eyes, while Mrs. Hastings sighed a jslgh of great relief with each succeed ing mile which rolled between 4fer daughter and "that insignificant Pres cott." Uncle William was delighted to hare his favorite niece with him. "Do you shinny a car about as well as ever?" he asked, pinching her rosy cheek. "When Murasle lets me out, but she's so afraid I'll smile on some man a few cents less than a billionaire that she rarely lets me drive alone." "Well, you can go alone here all you like, and when you get tired of driving the car yourself we'll advertise for a chauffeur." One day soon after this an Idea popped Into Mildred's little brown head which refused to be silenced, and she remarked casually to her uncle: "I had a letter from Mumsle this morning she's about ready to whisk me home aguln. There's n brand-new millionaire In town." "Bother take the millionaires. I need you here." "We'll put off the evil day as long as possible, uncle, but don't you think we'd better get the new chauffeur and let me break him in before I have to go?" "Well, maybe, but you 'tend to It ? put the nd in and then I'll interview the scamps as they come along." Of course it couldn't have been Mil dred's fault that there was only one applicant In answer to their advertlse iiMj#t,'and If Mildred was Just a wee bit nervous when the applicant was being interviewed Uncle William never ap peared to notice it. MJldred,jp^cee<t?>} to "break In" the new chauffeur with a vengeance, but if uncle noticed any growing intimacy between the two he made no comment. Finally, Mildred decided to take Un cle William into her confidence. The animosity between him and her mother was thoroughly mutual, and she wns reasonably sure of his being a strong ally In any project which was some thing Mrs. Hastings did not want. "I suppose you've guessed, uncle dear, that Mumsle sent me here to get me away from a man she didn't like?" she queried. "I'm ? er ? perhaps." "Well, f'he did, and he's the very nlcefft rr.an you'd ever want to know." MWbo Is this paragon, anyway?" "At present he's your chauffeur, bat most <>f the time he's thv smartest law- j yer in oyr city." Ami (hen uncle luughed long ami loud and merrily. "What are you gQlUft t<> do about It?** he asked w lien he could g^jj his luenlli. "I'm uolng to marry ht in h.v some hook <?>? crook, but I promised dear old ? d'i ' I I'd nev.-r marry without Mumsle's CoUseiU, and I Willi! you (n help me | k'?t it." "Leave ll to me, Mllly, my girl. We'll j have her eating out of our haml yet." j Thai same day .Mrs. Hastings wan thrown Into hysterics hy the receipt of j the following telegram: "Millie hound to marry my chauffeur, j What shall I do?" A telegram being entirely too slow for the enraged mother, she sought refuge In a long-distance telephone call, and when she ttnully succeeded In getting Uncle William on the wire, she was so flustered she could barely make herself Intelligible. "Has- -has she married him yet?" she Anally managed to ask. "Not yet, Maria, but I don't know how long I can hold out against her." "(>h. save me, William? tot* your dead brother's sake? save me' from this awful disgrace?" "Is there anybody there- back home? If she's bent on getting married, per haps ? " "Yes? yes ? there is!" exclaimed Mrs. Hastings, grasping as a dying man at the proverbial straw. "She's been In love with Harry Prescott, a young lawyer. Tell her If she'll only come home she can marry him any time she wants to. I'll promise her anythlug I" Uncle William went back to tlve lov ers, accompanied by a poorly concealed smile of triumph. "Mllly," he said, "your mother says to come home and marry Prescott? that a lawyer, even If he is poor, Is more dignified to have in the family than a chauffeur. But we'll take no chances on her changing her. mind. I've sent for a minister and we'll tie that knot good and tight right here before you start back." So Mildred married the humble I'res cott after all, and with her mother's full and free consent. PARADISE FOR BOOK HUNTERS Writer Tells of Treasures of Various Sorts That May Be Picked Up in Japan. Book hunting is an agreeable pur suit and nowhere can it be conducted with more zest and profit than in Japan. I think there are more old book shops and stulls in Tokyo than in all the cities of the United States combined. In many of them one finds only school text books and cheap jpaff azlnes, but there are shops in almost every quarter that contain real treas ures. , The greatest number are In Hongo and the neighborhood of the university. The secondhand book sellers have a society and a club hoUse where 'they have weekly ?no tions for members, and once or twice a year they hold a public sale on the second floor, of a large house belong* lng to the Tokyo Fine Arts club la | Hongo, near Ryogokubashl, on the op | poslte side of the bridge from the wrestling pavllioni The entire second floor is thrown Into one large room by removing the Interior screens and the books are spread out on the mats, each dealer's lot apart, each set ol volumes plainly labeled with Its title ' and price. There Is a bewildering variety ; Chinese books, often old and rare editions that cannot be found in China ; European and American book* of many sorts, maps, prints, rolled books and, not least Interesting, al bums of brocades and dyers' pattern books. ? From "On Japanese Calico Patterns," by Stewart Culin, In "Asia" Magazine. Not of Poetic T a*te. A poet with a- precious scrap book of his own writings under hit arm wandered by a theater, when suddenly the Idea struck him that he would like to see a play that night, so, entering the place, he asked for the press agent. That gentle man was out, but the manager was In. He was ushered In, and the manager Inquired his business. "I would like I two seats for tonight," faltered the poet. "An* who might you be?" askvd the manager. The poet mentioned his name. "Um, yes," smiled the other. 'Tve heard of you ! But why should I give you seats?" The bard mur mured something about the courtesy of the press, and added that probably Identification might be necessary, so, as he had a scrapbook full of his pub lished poems he would be glad if ? . But the manager cut him short, and calling out to his secretary to make : out a couple of passes for that night, | said : "My dear sir, I'd rather give you the whole house than read your poems I" Went Home for Rett "Once uponer time," said .
