Mr. Gunter was original He
never did anything in way any one
else would do 1t. He had about him
grim humor that few persons under
stood. If he did one favor he az
F companied It with q slap; II he gave
slap he accompanied it with favor
+ The consequence was that the object
! Of his favors and his siaps didn't know
whether to love or to hatef him.
Possibly the only person. who thor
oughly understood Mr.. Gunter was his
daughter. Clara. The reason Of her
understanding was that she was q
ship of the old block. She was the
apple of his eye. Whatever she want
ed OF him she got; whatever he wanted
of her he didn't get, though there was
nothing he wanted from her except &
demonstration of affection, and she
was so much like him that the more
she loved him the more indifferentiy
she treated him.
Well, the time came-as IL usually
/ does with girls-when she got lover.
She went into the country for the SUM
mer and came back engaged. On her
return she said to her father:
"Papa, 7 have met she man wish
to marry. He will come to see you to
1 ask you for me. That, of course, is q
mere form. am too much like you TO
be thwarted in anything I desire.
Therefore you have only to give your
consent. though / hope you Will be
pleased"
Just So" remarked the parent
Miss Gunter turned away, but paus-
ed, looking at her father with bit Of
anxiety in her expression.
Papa" she said, Il hope you won't
perpetrate any Of your peculiarities on
Mr.. Auchincloss. Please remember
that he is stranger to you, and even
if he had known you all his life he
would not understand YOU"
MY dear, am too much Ike you TO
refrain from whatever may occur to
me. I shall doubtless do as you would
do if similarly placed. I am sorry TO
have a daughter with so many of NV
own inperfections and am sorry to
have so many OF my daughters imper-
fecdons
That Miss Clara was uneasy was
evident Nevertheless she said no
more. The same evening Mr.. AuchiE
Gloss called, asked for Mr.. Gunter and
was introduced into that gentlemau's
study.
Possibly. Mr. Gunter." he said,
your daughter has informed you
oh yes; she has told me ali about
it. You were to call for my consent to
her marriage with you, but since my
consent is a mere matter Of form you
may as well cut 1t short"
The young man looked much sur
priEed.

ana sure that if she does not have It
