Teaching Father a Lesson

''Bess,' said Tom, "supposing we
get married" or words to that effect,
accompanied by convincing caressea
OF proposal quality.
''All right said Bess, responding
in kind to the caresses.
But when the subject was breach
ed to father there was no acqui-
essence in his reply. Not by a long
shot, you young jackanapes. You
don't marry my girl unless you can
afford to buy her house beforehand.
In my day folks had something 10
marry on, and my Bess isn't goin' to
tie up with dead beat four fiusher.
The old gentleman judged Tom a
! bit too harshly. He was no dead beat,
for he intended to pay the rent.
Moreover the old gentleman failed
to reckon on Bess, who had decided
that she wanted Tom with tho
strength of a lifelong habit of getting
what she wanted. The obvious next
step in the situation was an elope-
ment, which duly came off, and then
Bess led her new possession home to
show him to father. -
When father saw the new possess
sion he suffered a variety of agonies,
which he relieved by dragging his
daughter into the house and send
ing Tom away from it with the as
sistance of a shotgun. Then Bess
sank into a chair and wept and
walled After which she rose up and
threw things, anything, everything
indiscriminately. making no choice
between cutglass pitchers-rather
hard substances with which TO be hit
and oil paintings from the wall.
Father soon saw there would be no
happy home for him, so he sat down
sulkily and wrote a note to Tom
telling him that he was welcome 10
Bess If he would come and get her.
He sent this note to Tom per mes
senger boy and sat down. listening
sharply for the sound of his son-in-
laws bounding footsteps on the front
porch. But he listened in vain.
After a time messenger arrived
with note from Tom saying that he
had changed his mind about Bess,
deciding to stay single, and that she
could get a divorce. Father was
stunned, while Bess, furiously angry
at this turn of affairs, flew off to
Tom to ask him what he meant by
such a note. She found him as anna
BILE as newlywed should be- and
when he explained his scheme to
work father she agreed with him
heartily.
All wreathed in smiles, she left
him, but she arrived home fearful
and full Of lamentation, so that her
