The Story Teller.
Mark Merryweather's
= Meddling =
BY Paul Wendell.

MI Mark MerryWeatnef ureW a
long, deep breath and glared at his
visitor. He was indignant, and look
ed it. Surely, he told himself, he had
suffered enough already at the hands
OF this smiling, handsome fellow.
"Confound your impudence, SIR"
he blurted out at length. Marry my
daughter! Marry Maude! Ruin the
father and marry the child! If you
had an ounce Of brains you might
know that I would sooner give Maude
to the seediest, shabbiest whitening
in the city than to you!"
II am sorry that anything I have
done should have offended"
"Offended, sir!' roared Merry
weather. you've ruined me
brought me to the dogs!"
Old Merryweather often declared
himself to be on the brink Of ruin,
though he had never toppled over as
yet. Only the previous day he had
spent a little fortune on a motor car,
though he did not tell his visitor this
1.-TWO years ago." he went on furi-
ously, you might have found a
crowded Merryweather bus in every
big street Of the town. Where are
they now, sir? Thanks to you and
your beastly electric motors"
"You are scarcely fair, sir!" pro-
tested Guy Maxwell. 'They are not
my motors. AS manager, I'm merely
a servant AS such, I have had my
duty to perform. If you have suffer-
ed-and 1 know you have-it is
scarcely fair to blame me. II I re-
signed tomorrow the company would
appoint another manager in my
place"
You are wasting time" Merry
weather went on. You have the i'm
pudence to ask me to give you my
daughters hand. This Is my reply:
No! A thousand times no! Will you
take that for an answer"
mo, sir" returned Guy promptly.
II won't. Honestly, we should have
liked your consent, but If we can't get
it, l suppose there's no more to be
said"
Mark Merryweather flushed angri-
ly, and a harder look came into his
eyes.
You are thinking of Uncle Dicks
will" he said.
Maude had always found warm
corner in the heart of her childless
uncle, who advised her again and
again, when the proper time came. to
choose a mate for herself, and to take
no notice of outsiders self
willed father, for instance.
Knowing his brother well, Mr..
Richard Merryweather had antici-
pated trouble in the future. Conse-
quently he left Maude an additional
five thousand pounds II she should
marry without her fathers consent.
A sportsman to the last, however,
and relying on Maude's woman's wit
to bring her home a winner"-Un-
Gle Dick decided to make race Of
it" by giving brother Mark a chance.
Maudes father had only to put in
an appearance at the wedding and en-
ter a formal protest against it to Sc
cure the five thousand pounds for
himself.
Mark Merryweather was thinking of
this now. So was Guy Maxwell.
You are thinking of Uncle Dicks
will" repeated the former. "Consid-
er yourself capable Of beating me a
second time. Ell? You won't do 1t,
sir! If you do, I'll forgive you!"
You mean that, sir?"
Mean WHAT"
You'll forgive us If we outwit
you?"
"Outwit! 1 don't like the word,
but-yes, confound you, sir, have 1t
that way! Mark Merryweather gen.
erally saws what he meanS!"
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1911-02-28
What is 1t, Nary"

Mr.. Mark MerryWeather was cross
ing the hall when he suddenly ad-
dressed the query to the smart house
maid, who, dressed for her "after-
noon out" was standing at the front
door in a state of evident confusion.
"I-I-I-don't know, sir. Perhaps
the boy took me for-for-somebod
else. AS soon as I opened the door he
pushed this envelope into my hands,
whispered something like NUNS the
word!' and ran away
HIM" he remarked, holding out
his hand. Better give it to me. I'll
deliver it to the-er-person for whom
it was intended"
Somewhat reluctantly, he thought
Mary handed over the note, and turn
ed blushingly toward the kitchen.
Once in the privacy Of his den, it
did not take Mark Merryweather long
to steam open the flap of the envel-
ope.
1t took him little longer to make
himself acquainted with the contents,
for the note had been hurriedly writ
ten, and was little better than scrawl
Eventually he made it read as fol-
lows:
"Sweetheart-Am trusting this to
strange messenger, but to one who
says he knows you. Everything Is
arranged. Have borrowed Squire
Walmer's car, the speediest within
fifty miles of Threlford. Once clear
of the house, and your desire Is sat-
fied-a romantic runaway motor car
wedding,
"Will wait for you at corner Of
Lovers Lane (happy name), $50,
Wrexley church to do the needful.
Mr. M. won't like it, but you need
never see him again unless you choose.
Yours ever, GUY"
"Ciever!" muttered Mr.. Merry
weather, as he replaced the note and
gummed down the flap Of the envel-
ope. But not half clever enough,
Master GUY"
Mary, the housemaid, had not left
the premises, and promptly appeared
in response to her masters ring.
Il think, after all, Mary" began
Mr. Merryweather, handing over the
envelope "it would be better If you
deliver this to Miss Maude yourself.
One thing remember. thought has
never been in my possession! You
have brought 1t direct from the door.
You understand"
Seemingly Mary did, for she left
the room without a word.
Mark Merryweather would have
been aStoniShed had he seen her
minute later Mary Morrison had
torn open the envelope, and had read
every word of the contents.
Then. and only then, Mary ascended
the stairs to Miss Maude's room.
Meanwhile. Mark Merryweather had
summoned Blake. his chauffeur.
You were previously in Squire
Walmer's service. I believer" he be-
gan.
Yes, sir"
You know just what his car can
do?"
YES sir
'As for speed, how does it compare
with my Flying Monarch? :?
BADLY, sir Yours is now the fast
est in the district. We could give the
Squire eight miles an hour and a beat
ing"
"Are you sure we can overtake
them Blake?"
Blake glanced up the long, white
stretch of road. and smiled.
"As soon as you like, sir" he re-
piled.
As if in proof, he put on a little
more speed, and the gap between the
Flying Monarch" and the cloud of
dust far ahead decreased perceptibly.
THAT will do. Blake!" chuckled
Mr. Merryweather. There's no ne
cessity to run them down so long as
you keep them in sight,
