he asked when he could get his breath.
I'm going to marry him by some
hook or crook, but promised dear old
dad I'd never marry without Mumsie's
consent, and I want you to help me
get it." = .. -
Leave it to me, Milly, my girl. Wen
have her eating out of our hand YET. {"
That same day Mrs. Hastings was
thrown into Mysteries by the receipt Of
the following telegram: :.
: "Millie bound to marry my chauffeur.
What shall do?' -1.
A telegram being entirely too slow
for the enraged mother, she sought
refuge in long-distance telephone
call, and when she finally succeeded in
getting Uncle William on the wire, she
was SO flustered she could barely make
herself ineligible.
''Has-has she married him yetT'
she finally managed to ask.
''Not yet, Maria, but I don't know
how long can hold out against her." -"
''Oh, save me, William-for your
dead brothers sake-save me from this
awful disgrace"
rs there anybody there back home?
If she's bent on getting married, per-
haps-" 80
''Yes-yes-there' isl" exclaimed
Mrs. Hastings, grasping as a dying
man at the proverbial straw. "She's
been in love with Harry Prescott, q
young lawyer. Tell her If she'll only
come home she can marry him any
time she wants to. I'll promise her
anything!"
Uncle William went back to the low
ers, accompanied by poorly concealed
smile Of triumph. 2 "'
''Milly," he said, "your mother says
to come home and marry Prescott
that lawyer, even If he Is poor, is
more dignified to have in the family
than chauffeur. But We'll take no
chances on her changing her mind.
I've sent for a minister and we'll kie
that knot good and tight right here
before you start back"
So Mildred married the humble Pres.
colt after all, and with her mothers
full and free consent.

PARADISE FOR BOOK HUNTERS
Writer Tells Of Treasures Of VariouQ
Sorts That May Be Picked
Up In Japan.

Book hunting is an agreeable pur-
suit and nowhere can it be conducted
with more zest and profit than in
Japan. I think there are more old
book shops and stalls in Tokyo than
In all the cities of the United States
con''';ned. In many of them one finds
only ,chool text books and cheap mag
azines, but there are shops in almost
every. quarter that contain real treas
ures: The greatest number are in
HongO and the neighborhood of the
university. The secondhand book
sellers have q, society and club
house where they have weekly auc'
tions for members, and once or twice
year they hold public sale on the
second floor of a large house belong'
ing to the Tokyo Fine Arts club in
Hongo, near Ryogokubashi, on the op-
posite side Of the bridge from the
wrestling pavilion. The entire second
floor is thrown into one large room
by removing the interior screens and
the books are spread out on the mats,
each dealers lot apart, each set Of
volumes plainly labeled with it's title
and price. There is a bewildering
variety; Chinese books, often old and
rare editions that cannot be found in
China European and American books

WILLIAM H0HENZ0LLERN AT THE BAR

It looks as If William Hohenzol-
lern would be tried in the fall, at a
place to be selected. It. is reported
that Great Britain will furnish the
presiding Judge in John Andrew Ham,
ilton, Lord Sumner, and that Sir Cor
don Stewart, solicitor general of Great
Britain, will lead the prosecution.
German counsel for the defendant will
be assisted by British lawyers, If they
wish aid.
There will be five judges repre-
senting Great Britain, the United
States, France, Italy and Japan. It is
believed that Edward Douglass White,
chief justice of the United States Su-
preme court, whose portrait is given
herewith, will represent America.
The Germans will charge that the
trial is framed in advance that in the
nature Of the case the allies could not
permit any other verdict than that of
guilty" We need no court finding
on that point. What the allies do

R0CKEFELLER'S EIGHTIETH BIRTHDAY

John, D. Rockefeller celebrated his

the fluctuations Of his guests on his
long life, Mr.. Rockefeller said: II

Mr.. Rockefeller has an ambition
to live to be one hundred years of age
and then really begin living. Ger
tain men who lived to reach the century
mark in good condition mentally and
physically have. held that they had to
live till ninety to realize that the
world was beautiful. Certainly after
eighty a man should be entitled to rest

Uncle William was delighted to have
his favorite niece with him.

"Well, you can 60 alone here all you

popped into Mildred's little brown head
which refused to be silenced, and she

nervous when the' applicant was being

peared to notice it. Mildred proceeded
to .'break in the new chauffeur with q
vengeance, but If uncle noticed any
growing intimacy between the two he
made no comment.
Finally, Mildred decided to take Un-

animosity between him and her mother
was thoroughly mutual, and she was
reasonably sure Of his being strong

thing Mrs. Hastings did not want.
