Bowser Rents i A Bunoalovv He Decides to Tate Rosseuivii I of It After Interview J With an Agrt HAS PLEASANT DREAMS Males a Journey to the Spot Desig nated and! There Meets a i Disappointment Copyright, 19(6. by R. B. McClure. THERE was suppressed excite ment In Mr. Bowser's look aud gait as be reached borne the other evening, and Mrs. Bow ler had -ecarwly smiled a welcome ' when be exclaimed: "By George, but 1're struck It this timer "Do you mean that you've bought u new milk cowf "No, I don't mean anything of the kind: I mean that I've got a place on the seashore where we cau put in four or five weeks this summer. You kuow, we were talking about it the other vening." , "But you said we'd stay home.'' "Never mind what I said. I tlidn't know of this place then. Say, I've gut a daisy of a place, and we'll put la the best vacation we ever bad." " Well,, tell me all about it" "We rida out fifteen miles on the steam cars and are then -within half a mile of the beach and the bungalow no malaria,, no .mosquitoes, no mil- A BINO AT THEIB E.VD OF THE LINE. nances of any sort Two sides of the bungalow face the ocean, and the life giving ozone Is whooping her up for ns day and night There are fishing. clamming and boating, and great big lobsters crawl op out of the water and Teg to oe cuuckwi into a nasKet. '"But they are not ready boiled." "If. they are not 'we can soon boll them. There are oysters, too, whole beds of them, waiting for us. Think cf oysters, clams, fish and lobsters right fresh from the water, Instead of being carted all over the country for a month. Turn, yum but I can hard ly wait" , "And who told you of the place?" asked Mrs. Bowser. , "Fellow dropped Into the office to day. The renting is In his hands. You'll Imagine, Just as I did, that a place of the sort rents for about $50 a month, but what do you suppose his price was to me, I paying a month In advance?" "Ten dollars less, perhaps." "Only $20 a mouth. It's cheaper than a farmer's hencoop. He's got two or three other bungalows on the same beach, and he wanted to adver tise the fact that I was a tenant. Why, I cau gather In and send to town $50 worth of oysters and tlains every month." "But what is a bungalow?" "A bungalow? You don't kuow what a bungalow is? A bungalow, iuy dear, is a a" "A what?" ' "Well, it's a house of some kind, but Just now I can't exactly describe it. Ho said it h:id nil the modern con veniences and no fault could be found with it. It wns occupied by a million aire's family last yisjr, and his wife gained over a hundred pounds of flesh. Why don't you swing your hat and cheer?" "I think I'll wait until I have seen It." "There you po. Always croaking like some old raven. Do you suppose the wan would have come to me if the place hadn't been all right? Of course not. Men don't go around lying about bungalows. Besides, I am going out there in the morning and look the place over, lie said that one or two window panes might have been broken during the gales of winter, but he'd pay for all repairs. By John, woman, 1 telyou wo are in great luck. You wait till I get back and tell you all about it, and you'll fairly taste lobstdr aalad." The subject was dropped at Intervals fluring the evening, but never for long, and when bedtime came Mr. Bowser was so excited that it was two hours before sleep came. Then he locked his fingers behind his neck and dreamed of crabbing and clamming and gathering In barrels of ozone, and still In his dreams he caught 'a whale In a bear tran. apfl, n nvttipir tym ashore fell out oF"bed With a crash that shook the houses "If bungalow are going t affect this way you'd better drop 'cm,' chid ed'Mrs. Bowser. "Say," be replied, "I forgot to tel! you that the feller said a drove ot whales came along the shore twice n day and that It was the easiest thins In the world to catch oue and try out fifty barrels of oil. I wish I had thought to took at the market report and s what whale oil Is selling at." Mr. Bowser was up an hour earlier than usual, and by 8 o'clock be had finished breakfast and was ready tc go. Mrs. How at expressed the hop that he wouldn't be disappointed In his bungalow and its surroundings, and h confidently replied: ' "No fear of that We have got a good thing and needn't doubt It. I'll takt pencil and paper and Jot down a few memoranda. If I find a telephone out there I may call you up." With that he was off. On the way out In the cars ho met au old farmer who looked as If he knew all about bungalows and seashores, and he wa asked If he knew where Ocean Breext Hill was. "Yes. I've been there two or three times," was the answer. "I've rented the Dancing Wave bun galow for the season," observed Mr. Bowser. The old man gave Mr. Bowser a mow careful looking over and then leaned back and laughed heartily. "What the devil Is tho matter?" "N-nuthiuV "Then what are you yawping like Jackass for?" "1 was thinkin' of suuthln' that hap pened about twenty years ago. No of fense, stranger. Coin' to Ocean Breexe Hill, are you" "I said I was," sulkily replied Mr. Bowser. "Waal, you git off at the next stop and roller the highway. You wou't have fur to walk. Ha, ha, ha!" "lawplug again, are your was shouted at him as he made for the car ahead, but he neither turned about nor answered. When the station of Ocean Brews was called out Mr. Bowser dropped oft. The ocean breeze hit him fair between the eyes as be did so. Then It hit him In the back of bis head as he stood and looked at the weather beaten and half completed station. Then It whistled about his ears as be took the road lead ing down to the beach. There was a landscape made up of stuuted bushes and sand, and he looked in vain for bungalows. When he finally stood ou a sand hill overlooking the sea the only building of any sort In sight was a tumbledown shanty which might hav sheltered some dago worklugmen once upon a time. A farmer was gathering seaweed near it and piling the stuff on a wagon, and Mr. Bowser approached and asked: "Can you tell me If this Is the place called Ocean Breeze?" . "Y'es, sir, this Is the place." "But where are all the bungalows?" "The bungle what?" "The bungalows. Didn't you ever hear of a bungalow?" "I guess I have, but I've forgotten whether they live In the water or on land." "A bungalow Is a house a sort of house a seashore villa, If you will," was explained. "Oh, I see. Waal, that bnlldin' there la the only one for five miles along here. You may call It a bungalow If you want tor but we call it an old shed." 'But I rented a bungalow here for the summer." Then move In. I hain't preventlu' you." "But there Is no bungalow here." "Then you've been took in and madj a fool of. As many as ten people came down here last summer lookln' for bungalows, but that one was all they found." "I say I've been lied to and swindled:" shouted Mr. Bowser as bestamped nrouna. 1 ; "Sort of an Uncje Reulon, eh? 1 LOM-O11 AfGUST 13, N THE PATH thought thoy all lived out in the coun- from Cunningliam to my quarter at ,ry-" Fort Steven, a pM watch with chain Mr. Povts(.t looked the old man over , , .. , v" ,. ,:u4,i ,,,.t ,i .... , . , . . ... ,. t. .land cliarm; watch with ciosel coat and minutes by the watch, but-he couldn't '"J-'1 "u"' fiirure that that would help hlrn nny.l'l'f'" "f lnr?e links; The farmer told him where a telephone ivuh to be found, find when he had walbtd a uillo and a half and got good and mad Mr. P.owser, the cook and the cut beard it ring at their end of the line and then a voice saying: "No Oeeau Breeze, no bungalows, no clams, oy.-ters nnd fish!
