‘I ’ll not do It!” he muttered.
'What Is your price then?” demanded

pay It.”
‘Me price?” stammered Casey. And
he seemed to ponder the question
"Yes; your price. Name It and I ’ll
pay It.” Skiff smiled complacently.
Things were coming his way. He Dev­
er had known this treatment to fall.
Every man has his price.
Suddenly Casey’s head went up. “ Me

price is this. Send for Celia H art and
let her choose between us."
Skiff’s smile faded. "It's no way to
treat a lady. I t ’ll scare her,” he said
doubtfully.
“ I t ’s me price," reiterated Casey sul­
lenly. "Let her have the say. „J don’t
want your Job."
Skiff Babcock nodded shortly and
pulled the telephone townrd him. He
called up the milliner’s where Celia
H a rt worked and asked that she be
sent at once in a taxicab to the office
of the Skiff Balicock Trucking com­
pany, and then he sat back and waited
nervously for her coming.
Tim Casey leaned against the oppo­
site wall, white faced, with miserable
eyes.
What girl would hesitate at choosing
between the plump, well dressed and
obviously rich proprietor and the shirt
sleeved truck driver?
He wished that he had knocked Skiff
down when the suggestion was first
made.
But Celia ought to have a
chance to better herself. Celia was a
lovely, bright creature, and the best
was uone too good for her. But was
Skiff Babcock the best?

A half hour ticked away, and at last
a taxi drew up to the curb, and a slim,
black gowned form crowned with a
coral hat all askew flew into the office
and looked dazedly around.

demaaded breathlessly.
Then her eyes fell upon Tim Casey,
standing there so grim and silent, and
she ran to him aDd flung herself on his
breast.
"Ab, Timmy, I thought you was

A Balky Lover
By ELINOR MARSH
Mr. and Mrs. Harkaway'a daughter,
Maria, was th« one being on earth who
absorbed their Interest AU went well
till Marla*« affectiou« became centered
on a young n an, and the young man
w^s so slow in proposing that Mrs
Harkaway feared some other girl
would steal him away from her daugh­
ter. The mother kept her fears to
herself as long as possible, then reveal­
ed them to her husband.
"1 do thing,” said Mrs. H arkaw ay,
“that young fellow, who la coming to
see Marla should either propose to her
or be told not to come to eee her any
more."
"How do, yon know that he hasn’t
proposed tó hèt?" asked her husband.
’^‘Because when I went Into the
parlor lust evening after be had gone
I asked her, and she said he hadn’t ”
"Does she want him to proposer’
"O f course she does. Do you sup­
pose she would let him come and alt
with her twice a week—sometimes
three times-unless she expected that
he would ask her to m arry him 7”
"M arla is a good girl. Do you know
whether he 1« a good man?”
"M arla says he Is as steady as a
clock and has money laid Qp.”
"W hat do you suppose he’s waiting
for?"
"Marla says he’s a natural patter off
of things."
" W e ll,-I reckon we’ll have to find
some way to help her out."
"W hat do you mean?"
"Why, don’t you remember when we
were engaged how I wag waiting to
get a certain sum laid up to be mar­
ried on, and your little brother one
day flatly asked me why I didn't mar­
ry you or take myself off? I know
very well that he had taken the words
from your father’s mouth, and it
brought me to tbe scratch. We moat
lay some such plan for this youug
lover.”
“That’s easier said than done."
One evening when the usual spark
Ing was going on In the parlor there
was a ring at the front door bell.
Maria went to tbe door and reported
that .an Italian was there w ith a par­
rot he said the gentleman had asked
him to bring to him. The man was
admitted to tbe living room, and Mr.
H arkaway said to him:
“ You think you have found, a bird
that w ill talk, eh?” * *^—
*
"You betta I have."
"W hat Is he w o rth y
" F ifty dolls’.”
“ Well, let’s hear what he can do.”
The Italian took the parrot from hla
cage and by talking to him elicited
many w onderful *aylngs. When he had
done so Mrs. Harkaway said to him:
“I wish you woflld let my daughter
hear him talk. Come tblg way."
She ledg him out Into the parlor,
where Maria's young man was sitting
bealde her.
“M arla.” said the lady, " I wish yon
to hear this wonderful parrot.
He
says snch queer things."
“ Yes’m," said Marla, and her young
man rose and stood In presence of
the mother.
The Italian held the
parrot on 111* forefinger and said a
number of things to htm, which the
bird doubtless understood, for he be­
gan to chatter. Then, suddenly fixing
his attention on the lovers, he said:
"Marla, give me a kiss.”
Marla colored, and her young man
started.
Then followed some rambling talk,
during Wfilch the parrot seemed to
have forgotten the lovers. They were
recovering from his pertinent remark
when he broke forth anew:
“Marla, will you marry me?"
By this time Mr. H arkaw ay had
come through the ball and stood In
the parlor door, evidently desirous of
satisfying himself that the parrot was
worth the price asked for him. He
was In time to hear the last words.
"Of course 1 11 marry yott,” were the
parrot’s last words.
Harkaway, pretending that he sup­
posed the pro[>oeltlon and acceptance
to come from tbe lovers, merched up
to Marla nrol congratulated ber. Then,
turning to her young man, he said:
-"You’ve got a mighty good girl, and
she’ll make you a mighty good wife."
The young man, Instead of looking
disgruntled, seemed pleased. H e was
not much of a talker, and a amile was
his only response to the congratula­
tions. It is quite likely he felt grate­
ful to the bird for relieving him of
making a proposal.
Mrs. H arkaway hang beck for a
time, not pretending that she had mis­
taken the parrot’s voice for that of the
lovers; but, seeing that the young man
was disposed to avail hlmeelf of the
bird's proposal, she went to hfaria and
offered her congratulations.
The Italian was sent away w ith his
parrot and a five dollar M il to pay for
his exhibition of ventriloquism, for he
had l»een hired and coached by H a rk ­

curred.
"W hat an absurd scene!” remarked
Mrs. Harkaway to her husband. " I
almost gave it all away by laughing.”
"But It was effective.”
“Nothing would have made It effec­
tive but your unmitigated assurance.”
After that Marla’s young man began
to make preparations for the wedding,
Maria being furnished w ith a trousseau
by her mother. The nuptials were
celebrated quietly, though Mr. and
Mrs. Harkaway were present, the for­
mer giving away the bride.
