CALLS ON THE DRUGGIST Chemist Laughs at His Fears, and He Goes Home and Devours Dinner He Refused. Copyright, iXS. by V. C. KiatsistJ IW R. BOWSEIt didn't seem to en- Joy his breakfast the other morning, and Mrs. Bowser, who took mental note of the fact, made up her mind that he should have a good dinner to make even. Knowing how fond he was of an old fashioned boiled dinner, she ordered corned beef, potatoes, carrots, cabbage and parsnips. The dinner was splendid as to quantity and quality, and It was with considerable pride that she an nounced the fact when he arrived borne at 6 o'clock. "A boiled dinner, eh?" he replied. "That's very nice of you, I'm sure; but unfortunately for me, I cannot partake of It" "But why r "I got a little warning today that I think best to heed." "What sort of warnlngr "Dr. Macelready was in the office on Borne business, and. hearing me utter an Involuntary groan as I rose up, he began to question me. It wasn't five minutes before he announced that I would have to be very careful or fall a victim to appendicitis. lie said I had a'l the symptoms of it." "I don't believe any such talk, Mr. Bowser. 1 haven't heard you groan. In- Ym too spibittelle to bjsv much PAIS." voluntarily or otherwise, for a year. Did he charge you a fee for telling you this?" "He made no charge, but naturally" "Naturally you went and handed him over at least $3, while I am in need of a dozen different little things. You have no more cause to be afraid of ap pendicitis than I have of the Indian plague. Why do you let people work you like this?" Knew It For Month. "Softly, now softly," he said as be led the way to the dining room instead of shouting "Woman!" at her. "Mrs. Bowser, I cannot be classed as an alarmist. Thousands of things have ailed me. and I have never said a word to you about them. I wasn't going to say a thing in this case; but, being put on a diet by the doctor, I had to make some explanations. I have known for months and months that the appendi citis was after me. I have figured that when it overtook me at last I would make a sneak for the hospital and hare the operation performed before you knew anything about it That is the way with me. I do my own worrying and planning." "Well, what symptoms have you felt?" she asked. "Pains in the back, roaring In the head, wakefulness and all that. There are days when black specks dance be fore my eyes. The other morning when I got up my teeth seemed too long." "And this ass of a doctor made you believe those were symptoms of appen dicitis?" "I knew they were before he con firmed me. I have been saved by Just one week." "now?" "I am going to follow the directions given me by th;; O.viv."

"I have got my warn:;:;;, n:y "But you haven't got it from our own idoctor." L"Pne doctor is the same as another whou It's a caw as serious as this. I'm as hungry as a wolf, but don't tempt me. One full meal would moan th ambulance and the hospital. I might possibly come out alive, but the chance are ouly one In a hundred. I teem to 1ms fat and solid, Mrs. Bowser, but as a matter of fact I am too spirit uelle to stand much palu." Mrs. Bowser had to laugh. She would have had to had he beeu standing over her with au as. She led the way up stairs and was for dropping the sub ject, but Mr. Bowser hadn't had bis say yet. "In case this milk and water diet doesn't stave off appendicitis and the results are fatal you will tlud all my business papers in the safe," he ob served as he walked up and down. "Very well." Mar Marry If She Wlahea. "You will not be forced to marry to keep a roof over your head." "No." "Naturally I would rather you would not marry at all, but I am not going to exact any promise. I do wish, how ever, that you would visit my grave once lu awhile. I shan't kuow It of course, but It will help you not to for get me." "I shall visit it once lu two weeks during good weather," she replied as 6be saw his lip trembling. "That Is all I ask. The doctor as sured me that milk and water would stave off the Impending danger, but I hare a presentiment Mrs. Bowser a presentiment that appendicitis will come and terminate fatally." "And I have a presentiment that I shall some day meet that fool of a doc tor and tell him what I think of him. It's Just biliousness that alls you, and a dose or two of calomel would set you to singing. There are yellow streaks under your eyes, and those mean bil iousness and nothing else." Mr. Bowser shook his head and heav ed a sigh that finally terminated In a groan and brought the cat out from under the piano. Then he started down the hall and put on his bat. "Are you going ont?" was asked. -l m going nner n quun vi mm. i may wake up in the night and want aj drink. I may also talk with the drug-, gist If he isn't busy.

' Mrs. Bowser was glad to have him . go. sue Knew me uruggist was a blunt spoken man and would diagnose ; the case pretty speedily. She therefore ran Into a neighbor's for an hour. Mr. ; Bowser made bis way to the druggist's, and, not finding him rushed, he began: j "Doc, take a careful look at my face. win vnnr "Cert.

The yel-' fled certificate of approvnl for the low streaks under your eyes show that you are bilious." ; "What do pains In the back signify?" "Rheumatism, generally." "And roaring in the head?" "A cold." "And when your teeth seem too long?" "A little neuralgia In the Jaws. Why, what do yon think ails you? I was told by a d'ictor this morning that those symptoms heralded an at tack of appendicitis." "Ileral! your grandmother! Some body has been making a fool of you again. You may have appendicitis some day, but It won't come on that way. What did the so called doctor tell you to do?" ; "Drink milk and water," sighed Mr. i Bowser. "You ought to be kept on that diet j for the rest of your natural life. Didn't j Mrs. Bowser say the fellow was ahum-! vuu v en r j ou mio j Tell Him to Go Eat. "Of course she did, and of course be Is. Go home and eat a hearty dinner.

He was! too elated. Ten minutes later the cook ! was heaping the remains of that boiled dinner on the table, and he was eating like a Michigan lumberman. Mrs. Bow ser came home and surprised him at It. "Well, you saw the druggist?" she que ried as he refilled his plate, "The druggist? What about?" "About your threatened appendi citis." "I hadn't heard anything about be ing threatened." "But you gave up $5 to a fool of a doctor this morning to tell you to llvs on a milk and water diet for the next four days." "My dear woman," said Mr. Bowser between huge bites, "please go away. You are laboring under a hallucination. You have somehow got me mixed up with your Uncle Joe or your brother Sam. Go away while I get a few mouthfuls to eat:" M. QUAD.
