DAILY SHORT STORY
TANGO AND THE LAW.

When Gavin Harwood's millionaire
parents failed to agree with him on
his schoice of q girl the situation be-
came serious.
'Tf you are so blind as not to see
that Irma Vale Is marrying you for
your money, my son." growled Har-
wood. ST., then you may tell the
young lady that not one penny of
my hard earned money is going to
deck her frame"
''FatherP' Gavin was little more
than a boy and his fathers words
had given him a shock.
II mean Just what I say. II you
persist in marrying that fortune hunt

every penny you support her with"
Il can't work and go through my
college law eourse-you know that.

@And you know you had no right
to ask any girl 20 marry under the
circumstances" The elder Harwood
softened. Think It over, my boy, aud
tell me whether you would rather be
a millionaire's son taking his law
course in college or the moneyless
He left the library lest he become
even more soft-hearted and listen to
the tmpetuous speech that he felt to
be in Gavin's mind.

the words his son flung at him as he

but he kept the knowledge to him
self.
Gavin gIowered at the door through
which his father had gone. He felt
resentful against his parent because

would not be thrown, out Of Gavin's
mind. The suggestion that 1rma
would not marry him II he were a
mere nobody rather than the son OF
Millionaire Harwood grew to a very
definite fear.

that moment Of opposed desires that his
prediction for dancing was going TO be
the means by which he could gain funds
to see him through his course.
Gavln's father remained obduratS and
the boy refused to give up Irma Vale.
In the end Gavin returned to Columbia

gagged to the girl of his choice. That the

fortunes was due to Gayin's desire to
maintain secrecy and the fact that Irma
had left New York for q prolonged visit
in the South.
When Gavin pondered on ways and
means by which he might augment his
limited cash there seemed nothing to do
but teach tango, Msxixe and still later
dances that were all but religion to the
average young college boys. Many men
with no more ability than he had worked
their way through college and had lost
nothing in the effort Gavin was not
afraid OF work nor was his pride SO ex-
alted as to rebel at honest endeavor.
His class in dancing proved most sue
cessful. Gavin had a most Infectious
good hun1or. combined with easy grace,
that went far to aid him in his work.
