Even then 1t is doubtful if he would

The Joneses had imported their
cook Dinah from a rustic part of South
Carolina. The wastefulness and ex-
travagauce of Chicago people and the
general disrespect with which money
was treated was an unfailing source
of surprise to her unsophisticated
mind.
One day the Jones son and heir re-
turned from the dentist and told his
mother, in Dinah's presence, that the
dentist had estimated it would cost
$40 to have his teeth filled and put

still had its moments of indecisioa as
to the course to pursue.
The town was four miles behind
them when Diantha, who had been
for some time vainly clutching at the
flying ends of her veil, called to
Phineas to stop.
The request took Phineas by sur
prise. For one awful moment his mind
was a blank-he had forgotten how to
stop! In frantic haste he turned and
twisted and showed and pulled, end
ing with so sudden application of the
brakes that Diantha nearly shot head
first out of the car as it stopped.
"Why why--Phineas! !" she cried a
little sharply.
Phineas swallowed the lump in his
throat and steadied himself in his
seat.
"Ye see II can stop her real quick
If | want to-" he explained jauntily.
"Ye can do most anythn' with these
