'That doesn't really alter the sit

his father needed a voice on his

"rll have Benson speak to the
young woman said the father of
the family. Benson was the en-
tirely dignified elderly chauffeur
who drove Mr.. Hindley's expensive
car.
Mr.. Hindley spoke to Benson
that morning about it as Benson
drove his employer to his office in
the brick work that had made him
a millionaire. And the next morn
ing on seeing the shabby little car
again parked under his favorite
maple tree, he questioned Benson.
"Well, you see. SIR" said Benson,
trying to hide some confusion and
embarrassment, 1.-THE young wom-

her putting her car somewhere

and also served TO keep off the
bright sun which would blister the

quite courteous. Ill ask Miss

to meet her"-this to her brothers.
"She's studying art in the city and
living out in the country with an
old womani because it's cheaper that
way. Her father was court paint

"Did you tell her about parking
farther down the road?" asked Mr..
Hindley, growing. impatient.

in surprise. "We had such a short
time before her train went and /
was so interested"
"Yes." said Mr.. Hindley, YEARLY.
perhaps you'd be willing to say
something about it tomorrow" He
addressed his younger son. Ted
agreed and was sure he would be
successful, blu next night he re-

that he had discovered on talking
with Maize that her very best
friend in art school was Laura

met in the mountains the year be-
fore. after that it seemed bit
awkward to ask. her to move her
car. | thought perhaps you'd be
willing to speak to her about it."
This remark was addressed to Tom,
his elder brother. SO Tom said
he'd do what he could. Next night
he made no report until he was re-
