And then uncle laughed long and
loud and merrily.

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 want you to help me
get it."
Leave 1t 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?"
A telegram being entirely too slow
for the enraged mother, she sought
refuge In a long-distance telephone
call, and when she finally succeeded in
getting Uncle William on the wire, she
was so fiustered she could barely make
herself Ineligible
"Has-has she married him YETI"
she finally managed to ask.

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 home1
If she's bent on getting married, per-
haps-"
"Yes-yes-there isl" exclaimed
Mrs. Hastings, grasping as a dying
man at the proverbial straw. "She's
been in love with Harry Prescott, a
young lawyer. Tell her IL 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.
"Milly," he said, 'your mother says
to come home and marry Prescott
that a lawyer, even If he is poor, Is
more dignified to have in the family
than a chauffeur. But we'll take no
chances on her changing her mind.
I've sent for minister and we'll tie
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.

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

WELL you can go alone here all you

One day soon after this an idea
popped into Mildred's little brown head
which refused to be silenced, and she
remarked casually to her uncle:

made no comment.
Finally, Mildred decided to take I'm

GREAT WHISKY FAST
BROKEN; BOOZE SOLD
AT LOUISVILLE, KY.

Louisville, KY, Nov. 14-All roads

Whisky is on sale here today.
Openly, without stealth Or attempts
at camoufiage, by virtue of an injunc-
ton granted by Judge Evans, of fed
eral district court, two of the biggest
distilleries of Louisville are permit
ted to dispose of their stocks in def
ance of war time prohibition.
The court granted a temporary in
junction rnestraiing the government
from enforcing the law against them.
These distilleries have huge stocks of
bourbon, 100 per cent proof and guar
anteed to harbor the we'll known pre-
prohibition punch.
1t is being sold right off the floors
of the warehouses as $40 case. Ev-
erybody is welcome. Everybody
seems to be there. Autos glide to the
doors, motors humming smoothly, to
make the return trip grooming and la
boring under the weight of cases of
fluid dynamite. Wheelbarrows stand
nose to nose with aristocratic 12-cyl-
inders, while their owners exchange
the family jewels for drink.
Motorcycles hum laboriously from
the scene with a case or two strapped
on behind. Citizens, both old and
young, stagger down the streets un-
der the weight of a twelve quart case.
The crowds are steadily increasing.
There is no danger of the whisky
supply running out, it was assured.
Some several million gallons are on
hand and enough more available TO
irrigate the southwestern territory
for miles.
Only the two distilleries named in
the case are permitted to sell their
stocks. They will be subject to pros
ecution if Judge Evans is overruled.

NON-FREEZE MIXTURES
EXPENSIVE THIS YEAR.

With the cold weather of the past
few days, "non-freeZ" mixtures have
been largely in demand by the motor
lists who intend to operate their ma
chimes throughout the winter. But the
increasing cost of alcohol, the mix

commonly used in radiators in freez-
