Her older atHter, Amelia, was her op posite. Amelia wu ditnified and was never known to ib anything thut was not eminently proper. She wirs en g.i.eil to a yoiiiis lawyer, I'alph Per -kins, whose clerical bearing niMiki"l h'ni rather for a clergyman than nil at torney.

Among Illllie's liliosytnrui iea wag a love for praetieul Jokes. This was ber greatest real fault. Practical Jokers are u burden on aoclety, and the only III org that kept I'.illie popular in spit.v of this propensity was thut she wag in every oilier respect fascinating. "Papa," ahe ttaid one morning, "I have come to a knowledge of some thing that will pain you very much." " hat is it, sweetheart?" "Amelia Is very undiitlful. She ta going to disregard your wl-hos respect ing liulpU Perkins. She's going to mar. ry 1 1 tin despite your objections to tho match." "She doesn't need to do that. I have never refused my consent to It." "Nevertheless she's K"lu? to do I Tliis afternoon P.ulpli la comini? to lai. her to ride in his new car. They're goinsj to stop at 8t.

Ij't's you and I and tn a 1 1 1 1 1 1 t follow them lu my car and be present at t lie ceremony," That same afternoon Perkins and Amelia started oil their ride. TVy had no Intention of being married, but they were Intending to take ufternoou tea Willi Mrs. Ilardesty, the wife of the rector of St. James' church, having; received an Invitation tn that effect. True, the Invitation had been forged by Itlllie, but the lovers didn't know that and so It didn't deter them. A second cur containing Mr. and Mr. Rowley and RHHe left the house short ly after the couple's departure and kept them In al'tht until they reached the rectory. The lovers were admitted by a maid, and since they came by In vitatloii. went In without asking for ilr. Ilardesty. The lady was not at home. Mr. Hardest y was In I be study and on being told that Perkins and Miss itowley bud called went In to sihj what bo could do for them. He had scarcely entered the room when there whs a ring at the doorbell and the balance of the Itowley family entered. There wrs surprise all round. "Amelia," said her father, "you have been very much In error In supvosing tha. It was necessary for you to mar ry despite my consent. I am ready to give you away and have provided your dowry." "Father." cried the astonished girl, "l didn't come here to be married. I came on Invitation of Mrs. Ilardesty to take afternoon tea." At this Mr. Ilardesty took an Interest In the proceedings. He said there must Is? some mistake, since hi wife had gone out and would not lie back till dinner time. "Well." drawled Millie, "since you're here, why tint get married and have done with It?" Mr. Itowley, well knowing Mllle'a propensity for practical joking, looked at her scarcliiiigly She looked very In nocent, Init did not undeceive him. lie hesitated between giving tier a severe reprimand and helping her throng! with her scheme Mr. Itowley looked much perturbed nd arose to go, She was iet con vinced that Amelia was not deceiving them. "There seems to have been some mis take," said Mr Itowley. "but since w are all here, ready for a wedding if you two--referring to the lovers choose to get splvcd, I have no objec tion. Tilt et U-de is bound to 1 known and will evcite mu- It talk. If It l-s given out that the w. siding expected by the family , it will 1 pas eel olT with iu fspe-'tal comment.

"Hut it wouldn't 1 a bore to me." moaned Amelia. "I have h house readv for you," put 111 Mr liovvley, "r.ud I have brought the rest of your dowry," producing a check for S So n m. The trr.s.iu.
