Mr. Bowser said no more. think
he was iutendiinf to set a wan to do
the work and pay him out of her own
IHMtet. but the ueU afternoon while
8ABAH, I WANT you a momext."
she wa aboppini; Mr. Bowser came
home. It wua about 3 o'clock. anJ
when I looked surprised be exclaimed:
"It's all right. Surab. Business isn't
driving Just now, and I'm borne to put
those aiTeeus up. They are up in the
storeroom, J Kiipimne?''
"Ves, sir, but they need to be dust
ed off. 1 utu Ironing today and can't
help you."
".Never mind tbe dusting. The atyle
this auuimer is to have fly screens
look a aucieiit as possible. Mrs.
Bowser out. eh? Well, I II bustle tbe
creeus up and give tier a surprise."
He was luto bis old clothes and
bringing tbe reeus down tu ten min
utes if each screen had ever been
, marked for a certain window the
marks bad been painted out. and Mr.
Bowser bud to go by guesswork. He
wgau wan tbe living room first. 1
beard biin knocking and banging and
pounding away for a long time, and
then be called from tbe bead of tbe
basement stairs:
"Sarah, I want you a moment!"
When 1 got there he stood pointing
to one of the windows with out
stretched arm.
, "Do you see Iff be whispered aa be
till pointed.
"I see that tbe screen is short for
tbe window. ir."
"Ves; you see it in all of six inchea
too snort. Why? Answer me, why?"
"Because you've got tbe wrong
screen for tbe window."
"Because either you or Mrs. Bowser
has sawed six indies off tbe top to
baffle me. Don't tell me that a fly
screen can shrink six inches In a sea
Hon or that window frames can length
en tbe aanie distance."
Another Compiracy.
I pulled the screen out of tbe win
dow and after a moment found tbe
right one and replaced It and returned
to my work. I beard him mumbling
under bis breath. He got tbe oilier
screen in after a good deal of banging,
and then be started to lit those In the
back parlor. I knew that tbe screen
he had down would never fit. but It
wasu t my business to butt In. He
moved the chairs around and banged
at tbe sashes, ami ail of a sudden tbe
house shook. ! ran upstairs to find
him on the floor with one of his feet
through the wire screen. He was that
dazed that he let me help hlin up, but
no sooner was be on his feet than be
shouted oflt:
"I'll have gore for this! Woman"
