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

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
