he CALLED HER
" DEAR" AND LOST
An EIopement That Failed to
Eventuate Because of
Papa.

Samuel Hackett. a tea faster employ
ed by a large firm of American i'm
porters, heard a strange young man
call his daughter dear" in the lobby
of "a san Francisco hotel. He had
never seen the young man before. The
young man had never seen him, and
the scene that followed revealed a
romance which now is shattered, with
the man portion on board the trans
port Crook bound for Manila to enter
the Philippine civil service, and the
girl half making ready today to go
back TO the convent in Denver, which
she left to become a. bride.
Hackett, who arrived in San Fran
cisco last week. was sitting in the
lobby of the st. James Monday after
noon, when young girl entered and
registered. AS she turned he caught Il
glimpse of her face. Then he stared,
amazed.
.Bernice." he queried, what are you
doing here? I thought you We're in
school"
And T. she countered. thought
you were in Ceylon. .
4 grew tired Of school she added
With a little elaboration the expla
nation was satisfactory until Tuesday
morning, when young man entered,
registered Worth Chapman, Port
land" with a flourish; then. spying
Miss Hackett sitting near an elderly
man, rushed over to her side and in
his eagerness forgetting to lower his
voice took nearly the entire lobby into
his confidence.
Dear, I'm right on the minute, he
said joyously. I've got the ring. and
I'll run right out and get the license"
All the time Miss Hackeft was Wig
orously working her eyes to halt his
betraying tongue and pickering her
lips in the pantomime of "sh,' But
Chapman ratified through and wound
up with an attempt TO kiss her.
That was too much for the teaman
Who are you?" he blazed at the i'm
petuous youth. And what right have
you to act this way?"
.An the right in the world was
the answer of Chapman, who had
never before seen Miss Hackett's
father. shes my fancee and we are
going to be married in two hours"
Not much-not in two years" and
Haekett rose FROM his chair.
I'm her father" he said, land this
little elopement stops right here"
His six feet lowered menacingly over
the civil service mans slight five feet
and half, and 50 the wedding didn'
take place.
More explanation followed and
Hackett learned that his daughter and
Chapman met in Salt Lake City year
ago while both were on vacation.
Then came the youthful attorneys app
continent and their determination to
go to the islands together.
Chapman left without a single. re-
minder of his convent sweetheart Her
father induced him 10 give back her
