Uncle John--girls!--I propose we start a daily paper." Louise laughed softly, Beth's lip curled and Arthur Weldon cast an amused glance at the girl; but Uncle John stared seriously into Patsy's questioning blue eyes.

If anything could interest this eccentric little millionaire more than the usual trend of events it was an original proposition of this sort.

He loved to do things that other people had not attempted, nor even thought of.

He hated conversational platitudes and established conventions, and his nieces had endeared themselves to him more by their native originality and frank disregard of ordinary feminine limitations than in any other way.

It was generally conceded that Patsy was his favorite because she could advance more odd suggestions than the other girls, and this niece had a practical aptitude for carrying out her whimsical ideas that had long since won her uncle's respect.
