A — Captured the Prize With Soft‘ Winning Ways and Made Everyone Happy By GEORGE ELMER COBB. “Oh Dick, something dreadful has; happened, and our happiness is com- plctely wrecked,” said pretty Ethel Warner, and placed a pleading hand upon the arm of her lover. Dick Wade smiled in his usuval in- dolent good-natured way. He was not at all disquieted or alarmed. As | long as he had the woman by his side nothing else mattered much. “Is that s0?” he smiled unbellev- ingly, “what has caused the smash- up, dear, if I may ask?” “Uncle and aunty—and a young man. Oh, dear! we were so happy and peaceful and everything going just as we hoped, when this—this dreadful thing has happened. Uncle has been growling about you, and aunty has been constantly telling me how young I am and all that, but I fancied you would win them over in time. Now all our hopes are smoke— just smoke!” and Ethel began to cry. “Tell me all about it, dear,” said Dick, soothing her with a gentle caress. “Well,” pouted Ethel with disdain and discomfort, “it's that Percival Thurston.” “And who {s that, this or the Per cival Thurston?” insinuated Dick, “He is a monster, an ogre! He has just come to devour our happl- ness. He is a nephew of Sir Willis- ton Thurston, a great nabob in Can- i%‘; 3 37| | § i ;(cwngut { === !ada, and he is coming to visit some friends in Newton here. It seems itlmt Lady Thurston has written to aunty, They were school girls to- gether. They made some sentimental arrangements when they were young for connecting the two families, In 'plaln words, I think that one of the motives of Mr. Thurston in visiting | Newton 18 to see if poor little me is Igood enough to become the niece of a high and mighty member of parlia- ment.” “In other words,” sald Dick, “If you suit him, this young scion of nobility, he may ask you to marry him. Well, it he does, you will tell him— what?” | “How can you ask—how dare you 'ask!” cried Ethel indignantly. “You know very well I shall never love or marry anybody but you.” “Then what are you worrying about?” challenged Dick. “Why, the bother of it. If I oppose | uncle and aunty there will be all kinds of scolding and unpleasantness: They will learn that we are attached to one another. Then there will be a storm.” “There {8 no doubt,” observed Dick deliberately, “that when this Canadian nabob sees you he is lost. Now let me make a suggestion. My sister Eve is trying to write some stories. ' It s wonderful how that demure little miss can think up all the ingenious plots she does. You go to her, Ethel, iand see if she cannot devise some way to help you out of this sad mud- dle.” The two girls set their wits at work. They had little to proceed on be- | side the fact that Mr. Thurston was & very prim, circumspect young man. Ethel had painted the young Cana- ' dian as wearing a monocle, having a ! cultured drawl to his voice, and very, very English in an unbearable way. She was a little surprised the first evening she met Mr. Thurston at a lawn party. Certainly he was re-' served and rather formal in his ways, | but there was nothing to indicate ' lordliness nor ostentation. The eve- | ning visitor, however, Dick Wade, | fairly gasped as his falr inamorata ' appeared upon the scene. | She was made up as to faclal adorn- | ment in & way that was truly shock- ' Ing. Her usually neat and tasty at- tire was lacking. An {ll-fitting gown, too short by several inches, hung loosely upon her and her hair was :!reued in the most outlandish fash- on. | Her friends stared in wonderment l" her boisterous greeting of the lgnest of the occasion. Ethel used faulty grammar. It was quite evident that Mr. Percival Thurston was not ouly very much disappointed but | positively shocked.

Oh, she's 'women employees the right to work 1. <She even \r, Thurston looked this. If he needed 4 received it 1mends for as causing al humanitarian, and Eve made a fad of social regenera- tion, so they became quite famous friends. “It has been all well enough away | from home, but I can’t appear in any f § ridiculous travesty at ourownhouse tomorrow night with uncle and aunty ' present,” said Ethel in the garden i f | one afternoon. i 1 | “You do not need to,” broke in a prompt and unexpected voice, and | Eve parted some shrubbery and stood | before the lovers. | “What do you mean, Eve?” asked Ethel. “Well, 1 think Mr. Thurston has given you up as a forlorn case,” was the reply. “How s0?” inquired Dick. Eve began to blush. Then she hung her head and dropped her eyes. “I'll whisper it to Ethel,” she stam- mered. “No, you will tell both of us,” in- sisted Dick playfully. “Come, what i8 the mystery?”’ “Well, I happen to know—that s, I feel pretty sure that Mr. Thurston has given up all idea of cultivating Ethel, if he ever had the idea.” “He must be blind it he didn’t” observed Dick, with an earnestly ad-| miring glance at his fiancee. ! ! “He—he has almost told me that Ethel 18 a very remarkable young| lady,” went on Eve, “but that—well, in fact, brother, you need expect noth- ing further from that quarter.” “You eeem pretty positive. How are you so well informed?” demanded Ethel, a trifle piqued after all to find | even an undesirable suitor disen- chanted. “Oh, I'll tell you some time when we are alone,” promised Eve, “Hold on, there!” commanded Dick, | as his sister was about to run away. “What are you holding that hand of “Me—my hand?” stammered Eve,! her face turning red as a peony. “That's what I remarked,” swered her brother suspiciously. “Why,” and Eve reluctantly brought the hand in question into view—"it's an- | “Nothing but a ring, eh?” repeated Dick. “I see that, but where did you get {t?” “WLy, Percival asked me to wear| | 1t “Who!” fairly shouted Dick. “I mean Mr. Thurston,” blundered on the embarrassed Eve. “You see, | it i3 an old family ring, and he asked very good friends.” Eve bounded away with the ex- planation. Dick looked at Ethel. Their glances met. “Now what do you think of that!”| ™ cried the latter. “I declare, Dick, sly puss after all. Just to think of it | —stepping in with her soft winning| ways and capturing the prize!” “H'm—well, Thurston isn’t o bad,” observed Dick drily. “I'm afraid the s something of a cunning minx, though.” “She has made everyone happy,” declared Ethel, “so let us bless her dear little heart for that. As to uncle, I'm afraid he will just rave, and aunty will have real hysterics . when they find out that they brought their protege all this way, just to find the handsomest, dearest man in all the world a brother-in-law!"” (Copyright, 1913, by W. G. Chapman.) LET CASE GO BY DEFAULT Under the Circumstances There Was Not Much Else That Mr, Bug- gins Could Do. “And who, the question pray, is Flossie?” was that startled Mr. Bug- addicted to the {ill-con- ceived habit of talking in his sleep, as he awoke the other morning and found his devoted better half sitting up in bed with an interrogation point in one eye and a note of exclamation in the other. “Flossie who?” " rhat's precisely what I want to know; you've been repeating that name over and over again during the night.” “Oh—ha—yes, yes, of course. It's a perfect beauty. for her.” “Indeed!” “Rather! She's the sort of dog—" “You ought to own? Certalnly— you appear excessively fond of her. You asked, you will be pleased to hear, this ‘collie dog’ to ‘put her arms around your neck and kiss you;' then you told Mr. Smith's dog ‘that you loved her with all your heart, and that when you came to die, that if you could only lay your head’ on Smiths dog's bosom you could breathe your life out sweetly there. Then you asked Smith's dog to ‘have another ice cream,’ and ‘if the watch you had given her kept good time’ Uader the circumstances, Richard, I [ think perhaps you had better go to Smith’s colli» dog, as I am going home to my wother.”—London Tit-Bits.
