Phillip Ce,J THE evening bad been a pleasant aae with the Bowser, but Just at they were ready to go to bed Mr. Bowser felt a touch f sore throat and announced: "I got my feet wet yesterday, and brobabry took cokL t think 111 take a fretty big dose of that cough alrup of tain and bead tt off. I suppose It's at the medicine chest oa the shelf r "Yea, I aaw It thee the other day." replied Mrs. Bowser, "but you're got . no many bottles there you must be care ful Better bring It apstairs when you bar found lf Wheu she had gone opetslrs,, Mr. Bewner brought the chest down from the top abalf e the ckwet and looked it aver. It was aot long before be light ad oa the celebrated "Cure a Cold la Ten Seconds," recommended to blm six months before by a trareling doctor and put up by his family druggist, and, elevating tht bottle, be took a hearty wig of the contents, lie carried up stairs with him a pleasant feeling that hit cold had been knocked Into the mid dle of last week, and nothing Interrupt- "iiaT vow, ou Boanvor ad that feeling until ba waa In bed and sleep stealing orer blm and Vlra Bow aer said: "I hope you made bo mistake about that bottle." "How could I make a mistake V be asked la a dreamy way. "Easy enough. You are very absent minded. Dou't you remember ouce tak ing a tablespoonful of sewing machine oil In place of a tonic r ; A doubt entered his mind, and he sat op. Two more doubts followed the first, and be got out of bed. "What Is ltr asked Mrs. Bowser. "I've got to go down and see about that Infernal olJ Lottie. 1 know It Isn't poeslble that I got hold of the wrong stuff, but you're had to mix In and make me wonder about It I can al most imagine I feel a strange taste In my mouth." lie growled to hiuiMflf as he pulled on his trousers aud started downstair. The uhet was ou the stand where he bad left it, and as be lighted the gus the cut rolled off the lounge and stared at bun In surprise. "It was the right bottle, of course," he muwd, "uud what a fool I was to bop out of bed aud trut down beret Here the bluiued thing Is, and If 11 doesn't say 'Cough Sirup' on the label then I'm a" But It didn't As be held the bottle op to the light a picture of a skull aud cronHbones greeted his eyes, aud across the label ran the word 'Laudanum.' Mrs. Bowser Heard a whoop and a rush, and the next minute Mr. Bowser dashed Into the room, with the cat at bis heels. "What on earth 1 itr she asked aa he began to gather up and pull on his socks and shoes. "1 I've taken poison laudanum!" be gasped as bla teeth chattered and hi eyes bulged out Then go at once to the drug store for a remedy. How careless of you: Here la your rest; here's your coat If you hare taken laudanum, you must throw It off at once and then drink a lot of strong coffee." "Do you yon think I'm dead-man T be stammered aa be got Into his coat "Don't stop to ask a single question, bnt fly for your life, and I'll go down and get the coffee ready r "I I can't make out bow I came to get the wrong bottle." "Don't try to make It out Don't wait here a minute longer." "But, you are" be began, when ab cut blm short by hastening downstairs "You'll come to the drug store wrK. me?" be called after ber. "Hurry, Mr. Bowser-hurry: "But what shall I teU tbem? The druggist orer here la down on me, and the minute I tell him I'ee taken lauda num for cougb slni he'j glix to cj!l r' mm me a fool and T that I ought to 31 Woat yoo com along and" But Mr. Bowser had passed beyond hearing, and after uttering three or foar groans of despair Mr. Bowsei hustled downstairs and out of thf bou. It wa bait pant 10 nVtock. lit hadn't waited to tie hta shoes, put on a collar or button hi roat or teat. A be went up the strevt at gallop aer eral people axied him where the Br waa. and a policeman juuied out from behind a tree and trlt-d to head blm off. The drug store had Juxr e loeed but he et the belt to rlugtuf and ac conipauled It with kk-ka on the door, and after aeren or eight minute the druggist appeared aud indignantly de luaaded "What In thunder do you mean by trying to kkk niy door InY "I've I've taken poleour replied Mr. Bowser aa he Ntaggered la and sat down. "Oh, you bare! Couldu't upaet thing any other way, and so you took poison!! What waa ItY "Laudauuin! 1-1 made a mistake. I thought I wa taking rough alrup Dont delay, or I'm a dead man!" Trobabty grabbed op a bottle la tht dark and gusiled away. That's the way with most men. I'll giro you a atroug emetic, but I'm afraid It'a going, to De a ckwe sua re, The Men. of course, waa to get the patient to throw the laudanum off bit towach. and for the next half hour Mr. Boweer wat doeed after heroic measures. The druggist finally an oounced that the moment of peril had passed, but sent blm home to drink a quart of strong coffee, and advised blm to walk up and down for a couple of I hours. Mrs. Bowser had the coffee ready, and It waa almost a human wreck ahe gated at aa be entered the house. She hadn't the heart to re proach him for his carelessness, rod when be had dINwed of bis coffee she helped him find bla hat and aaw htm out on the street. He hadn't paced the length of a blm k before be fell In with a tramp who was linking for lodging In some doorway and who was aooo In formed of what bad hapeued. He was a rough looking man, but he had a kind heart and be took Mr. Bowser's arm and snld: 'All rbrht. cully. I see bow It la Tired witn the turmoil of life, you started out to commit suicide, but thought bitter of It after ewallowlng a I hob, jum my ease exactly, i re trieu it six mnereui nines, taav now, oioiap. roaeouu: i-eao on uie, ana we u wain up and down." "O'way-g'way from me!" Mr. Bow aer got up the strength to exclaim. "Nerer, my conscience stricken friend. I shall walk with you, and aa we praa enade you can pour your tale of sorrcw Into my ear and be sure of my aym pathy- Tbey bad been walking for an hour and Mrs. Bowser had been dividing ber tuna between making mora coffee In the kitchen and looking out of the front door wheu the tbousbt struck ber to take a look at the bottles. There waa the cough alrup and there was thej laudanum, but the latter bottle had no! contents In fart. It was as dry as bone. Aa there bad been nothing In It to drink Mr. Bowser could bare made no mistake. Foe ran out at once to In form blm of the fact. The tramp waa sill solicitously leading blm np andj down and encouraging blm to live on.
