Her older atHter, Amelia, was her op

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. Aiiiclia'a fattier, Mr. Ib.uley,
wm Hoiiiew hat opisiseij to the match;
bcnuM? of Perkins' want of fortune,
but lie had lio Men of forbidding It.
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.

match."
"She doesn't need to do that. I have
never refused my consent to It."
"Nevertheless she's K"lu? to do I

her to ride in his new car. They're
goinsj to stop at 8t. James' rectory and
be married."
"You don't mean It!"
"Yes, I do. Now, I have a scheme
that should make tho affair a very
pleasant one. 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
