yilKN Mr. KowHor had finish

iiiornitiK he did not rush b
the hall rack for his ha
and n't out of the house In fifteen sec
onds. To Mrs. Dowser's surprise he fat
down to his cigar and seemed to have
forgotten that It was a week day. Shu
waited I'or leu minutes and tlem asked
If be was golii to take a day :.'.
"That's what I'm going to do," he re
plied. "Are you (folnp fishing or nnythlngV"
"No, ma'am. I'm going to stay right
n roti rid the house and straighten things
out. There ure quite a number of things
that ought to le attended to,"
Mrs. Bowser didn't ask what things
he meant, but awaited developments

with a presenlimetit that the dy
would be made lively after bis own pe
culiar style. She had nut long to wait
for the beginning.
One of lite works of art In Mr. Row
ser's front yard is a stone dog In an at
tllude of repose. The artist meant the
dog to repose, and the dog bad always j
been wllllnjr, but the hoodlums passing r
by bad other ideas. One of their favor
ite amusements is to enter the yard
and st 11 ml the dot; upright, or whirl)

over and said nothing about It. Anj
hour after breakfast on this particular j
iiioiiiuiK 1 nice nan ;nn 11 uo,vs came
along and decided to stand the dog on
tils head. They did not reckon upon
anything beyond a wave of the broom
flick and a mild protest from the cook,
and Mr. Howser found them easy prey
when he suddenly rushed down the
front steps and upon them. He posed
them In ten different attitudes In about
a minute and 0 half, and when they
got out of the yard a Rummer stock of

suspenders mingled with the sloue dog
to add picturesquettoss to the scene,
Mr. Bowser had hardly got over pant
ing from his exertion when the vege
table man calledone of the tweaity
vegetable men passing through lb
street daily. He called f:mu his wagoi
on the street, from the cininiono, frm
the gale, from the basi'm- n' wlndo
He announced that he h-::l ! Co;:i. pot;
toes, onions, radishes, ci'.-umheis. ;i

were of bis own raising. ;uul b-- si:;i

Then the basement di-or siimu':
opened, and he was 'n:!iii:'; for is
cook to appear ami buy on; his wv-.
load when Mr. Bowser sie;.nl tor.
mid began performing. He lso cau-o.
the vegetable man lo p rfiM ui. Beet
potatoes, radishes and cucumber
darkened the air. while nspoj-jigus
onions and hen us covered the lawn nod
toll) of a bountiful harvest.
The vegetable mini bad been left an
orphan at nu early age and bad learn
ed to depend upon himself, but he was
caught In the tlood and swept on? his
feet and rolled over and over until he
was clear of the yard. When he finally
returned to consciousness he was seat
ed on his wagon and was half a mile
nway and shouting "coal" Instead of
"vegetables."
Mr. Bowser sat on the front steps
with the cat beside him when a tramp
who whm "wo'klng" the b!ek e-sptM
him trout across the street and ibr;eVd
that be had struck the softest tiling ot
the season. Coming across the street

and leaning upou the gate he pathet
Ion 1 ly Inquired:
"Hons, can you tell me If a Christian
family lives here? Hy the looks of
things they do, but I'm not sure and
don't want to make any more mis
takes." Mr. Howser bad no reply.
"If a Christian family does live
here," conlfmicd the tramp, as be part
ly opened the gate, "then 1 want lo say
that I haven't had anything to eat for
two whole days, and I'm going to apply
for a crust of bread. If there are no
crusts lying around I'll take a dime In
stead. I'm no hog, to want all a fam
ily has got. How Is It, boss"
"Boss" was still silent, but had that
tramp been a student of character he
would have been warned hy the twitch
lug of Mr. Bowser's ears that the blood
had reached the danger point.
"I'll come In, boss, and talk things
over with you," he said as he entered
the yard. "It's not my fault that Tin
down. I used to own the nicest mill
dam you ever saw, but when the "mill
dam trust got to going It froze"
That was all he said about the mill
dams. Mr. Bowser rose up and tack lad
him and played horse with him, and
when he got out of the yard and
around the corner he didn't have
breath enough left to tell a policeman
whether he had been run over hy an
Ice wagon or knocked sky high by a
sewer explosion.
The next caller was the Iceman. HIh
wuoii rattled tip in a jovial way, and
he seized a chunk of Ice and gayly bore
it to the basement door and yelled
"I-e-e!" at the top of his voice. His yell
was still echoing among the houe tops
when Mr. Dowser appeared before him
and asked:
"How much does that chunk wclu?"
"Twenty-live pounds, of course."
"I don't believe It. I contracted with
you for twenty-five pounds dally, but I
have been getting about fifteen. Take
It out to th wagon and weigh It."
"Mrs. Bowser hasn't made no kick,"
growled the man.
"lint I have. Let's see It weighed."
The chunk weighed nineteen pounds,
ami alter a little mental figuring Mr.
Bowser observed:
"I shall take a dollar oil' your next
bill for shortage, and don't try any
more hocuspoee.s here."
Tho iceman thought to bluff, but he
looked Mr. Bowser over and concluded
to make up the shortage ami take II
out of some widow's family.
As (he Iceman rattled away upon his
frozen route the grocery wagon arriv
ed. The grocer's boy descended with a
baslutt and kicked the gate open. When
he reached the basement door lie at
tempted to kick that open also, and
when It resisted he turned In a fire
alarm on the bell and executed a war
dance while waiting for the cook to
open It.
When he was admitted he set up a
whistle and tried to pat the girl on the
back,' and he was asking her If she
couldn't pass blm out n bottle of beer

when Mr. Bowser look him by the ear
and led him outdoors to the gate aud
Into the back end of bis wagon. ,
"What's the matter?" asked the boy,
us his ear was finally released and thr
tears came to his eyes.
"You simply mistook my house for a
factory. Don't do it again."
During the day an old clo' man called
and rang the front door bell for five
minutes. Mr. Bowser simply threw him
into the next yard. A popcorn i;:;ai In
sist d that the cook call Mis. Bower
down to taste and to buy, and when
she had failed to discourage him Mr.
Bowser tool; blm by the arm and led
him out of the gate and warned him ot
the yawning chasm.
A ;orr.iau hand mt alt ready to play
in front of the house and go on a col
lecting tour afterward, but Mr. Bowser
beckoned to the leader and held a whim
pered nnferomv with him. aud not a
toot was tooted. A feather duster man
w:tlked up the yard In high hopes, hut
die ted himself and his tl listers out
again without making a sale, and a sil
ver polish man went away saying that
anybody who threatened his Ufe laid
himself liable to the law.
There were others, and alt of them
met Mr. Bowser and went away to re
member hhu for Iouk weeks, and when
the day drew to n close and he lighn d
a cigar and sat down to a well earnd
rest he complacently said (o Mis. iv:c
