Southern Miss Insists That None But Preacher

Parents Can Tie Knot for Them
Lover Now Seeking Him.

They were engaged secretly for months,
and, although there were no objections
to the match except on account Of
youth, they ran away. They did not
elope exactly, but one beautiful evening
while driving through the wooded coun-
try they came to Crowley. and there
the young man proposed that they stop
and get married. They inquired the
way to the home of the minister. and
were directed to the house in which
Rev. John w. Miley then lived, and they
were married and returned home to re-
ceive the forgiveness of their parents
and the congratulations of their friends.
Miley. 1t seems. was district preach
er and was riding circuit through the
hamlets in that district having no regu-
lar church, but preaching in the school
houses and in the homes Of his follow

blessing, Hinshaw gave him u generous
fee, and they parted.

At night they gathered some dry

no sooner kindled the fire than the
bowling Of wolves was heard In the
distance, and with their backs to a
large rock the men prepared for
battle.
In ten minutes the forest seemed
alive with dusty forms, and soon the
battle was raging. The rest of the
party had gone in search OF the miss

they had exhausted their ammunition
and were lighting with firebrands as
a last resort. The wolves dispersed at

Just because the bride insists on be-
ing married by the same minister who
performed her mothers wedding cere-
mony, the great event has been post
poned and a worldwide search Is at
present going on for the man.
Rev. John w. Miley is the missing
preacher. Nineteen years ago he re-
sided at Crowley. a hamlet near VIII
mington, N. c. The United States has
been searched from end to end and the
frantic lover is now preparing for trip
to the Congo in search of him. The trail
of the minister has been followed to In
dia-and now to Africa-with faint
hopes. Four Rev. Mr.. Mileys have been
discovered, but Rev. Mr.. Miley who
united Mason Hinshaw and Miss Fred
erick Willis in marriage 10 years ago
Is lost.
And because Rev. Mr.. Miley cannot be

Miss Liza Hinshaw cannot be cele-

or to produce absolute proof OF his

All this trouble, and travel. and search
results from the fact that Miss Hinshaw

A PERFECT HAND.
How It's Appearance Became Fa.
miliar to the Public.

The story Of how probably the most
perfect feminine hand in America be-
came known to the people Is rather
interesting.
AS the story goes the possessor OF
the hand was with some friends In a
photographers one day and while talk
Ing. held up a piece OF candy. The
pose Of the hand with Its perfect con-
tour and faultless shape attracted the
attention Of the artist. who proposed
to photograph 1t. The result was q
beautiful picture kept In the family
until one day, after reading a letter
from someone inouiring as to who
wrote the Postum and Grape-Nuts ad-
vertisements, Mr.. Post said to his
wife: I'VE receive 30 many in
quiries Of this kind. that It Ia
evident some people are curious t,
know. suppose we let the advertising
department have that picture of your
hand to print and name 1t "A Helping
Hand" (Mrs Post has assisted him
in preparation OF some of the most ia
nous advertisements.)
There was a natural shrinking from
the publicity, but with an agreement
that no name would accompany the
picture, its use was granted.
The case was presented In the light
Of extending welcoming hand to the
friends Of Postum and G.ape-Nuts. %
tho picture appeared on the back COW
ers OF many Of the January and Feb
ruary magazines and became known to
millions of people.
Many artists have commented upon
It as probably the most perfect hand
In the world.
The advertising dept. of the Postum
Co. did not seem able to resist the
temptation to enlist the curiosity Of the
public, by refraining from giving tho
name of the owner when the picture
appeared, but stated that the name
would be given later In one Of the news
paper announcements, thus seeking 10

The week following II was hermetic-

once caught n glimpse of the detected

in pouring rain gazing at the house

until Mrs Hamilton grew deeply veNed

to go over and talk with Mrs. Fry.

his task. for Mrs. Fry had set little
Johnny in his lap. asking him to mind
him while she fried her doughnuts.

keys and the child was quiet Finally
the hot lard kettle was put away. and
with a capable swoop OF her arm the

gazed eagerly into her face with
