Between the corner and the gate a boy waa driving a goat bitched to a wagon. The goat ran agaliiNt Mr, Bowser and crowded blin Into tho ditch. I looked to see that gout lifted high In the air and fluu into a shade tree aero tbe street, but nothing of the sort happened. Mr. Bowser simply smiled, patted tbe frightened Ixjy on tbe head and came along. "Are you 111 tonight?" I asked a be came up the steps and playfully pinch ed niy eur, something tbjit bad not hap pened before In fifteen yeara. 111? I never felt better in tuy life," ho answered. "The girl wc::t to bed with a heud ache thl afternoon, and I'm afraid we won't have a very good dinner." "That' all right, dear. Headache will ImpiHMi, and we must put up wltb them." Good Ground Fur Complaint. lie tnlKtit have complained of tbe rooHt, the coffee, the puddliiK nnd other tlilnpi. but not n word did be utter. I lin. bows fr itAtf run ottt of tbi xard AND ACHOMS THE ROAD, encouraged him to do so, but he would not. 111.1 attitude puzzled nnd alarmed lite. When we were halfway through the nieiil I observed that the butcher was again sending too much bone 'wltb the meat and that many of the last lot of potatoes were bud, but he did not break out Into threats against the butcher and grocer. On the contrary be smiled and replied: "We must not be too bard on them Mrs. Bowser. Tho butcher must sell the bones to some one, and potatoes are not always what the grocer buys them for." "I'm afraid the cook can't keep the pluco here," I continued, a moment later. "That wou't trouble us, my dear. It Is easy to get another." "I must tell you that a boy lu the alley threw a stone nud smashed a pane of glass In one of the bnck win dows this nfternoan." On two previous occasions when we have hud windows broken In the same way Mr. Bowser had got red In the face and jumped up and down nnd de dared It to bo my fault. If I replied that I whs downtown when It hap pened be asserted that IJ was my duty to remain at home nnd watch the win dows. "Smashed n pane of glass, eh?" be queried. "Oh, well, it was probably an accident. He wits throwing nt a cat. I was n boy once myself and I know how reckless I was with missiles." Wondered nt III Conduct. I looked nt him across the table and wondered If he wasn't going to drop dead. I said nothing further until we went up to the sitting room. He had sat down nud lighted ids cigar and had tho cat on his knee when I observed: "We might take n ride In the open car this evening." A week ago when I made the same suggestion he glared nt me for half a minute nnd wanted to know If I thought he was the man to mix himself up with cattle nnd hogs. Now ho smiled sweetly nnd replied: "With the greatest of pleasure, dear. I think the ride would do both of us good." "Did you know that the gas bill Is Just as large us last month?" I nsketl directly, determined to move him. "I didn't know It, but our bills are always so rensQnnble thnt vre havejio kick cotufiig. I used to think a gas couipuny full of tricks, but I bar changed my mind about that" "The range coal In out again. It went so fast that I believe toe coal man sold yon a short ton." "I hardly think so. Of course there Is lot of talk about dlnbonest coal men, but we must take It for what It Is worth. We no doubt got all that was coming to um, und I don't suppose any of it hit been wasted in the bouse." Gave Tramp a 0,aarter. Six week ago when lu fear and trembling I bad informed Mr. Bowser that the coal wa out be bad got up and fairly howled. He charged tbe coul man wltb cheating blm out of a quarter of a ton. and he cbnrged me with having old another quarter to trump. I sat and looked at blm and wondered If he could be my Bowser. I wa Mtlll looking when a tramp came to the door. Mr. Bowser answered the ring, and when asked for a dime be pulled out a quarter and banded it over, with: "Of course I'll help you and be glad to do It." Now, two weeks ego that same tramp called and asked for a nickel, and Mr. Bowser run blm out of tbe yard and across the road and threatened him with state prison for life. When be had returned to . the sitting room I asked: "Did you have a fainting spell at the office today r "A what!" be exclaimed. "Why. of course not I told you I never felt bet ter. What mnde you ask sncb a silly question?" "Because I have a tilt of news, ana if you were not feeling well I wouldn't break It for a day or two." Broke New to Him. "Let us have It now. You can hoU the camphor bottle to my nose If yo'i see me fainting." "Mother will be here the middle of the week." "Will she? That's good. I was thinking of the dear old lady this after noon. I shall bo glad to see her." "She Is your mother-in-law, you know," "Of course." "And when she Is here she she rath er liosses you." "Of course, but I don't lay that tip ugalnst her. I'll meet her at the depot with a carriage, and she shall stay al! the rest of the summer wlS us." For the next five minutes I didn't know whether to telephone the doctor, ring for the ambulance or send out for tbe police. Mr. Bowser's demeauo: fairly frightened mc; It was plain thai he wns acting under some sort of r. spell. By nnd by I determined to bring up a subject that bus never fail ed to arouse bis anger and bring him back to Bowserdom. He was smooth Ing the cat und praising the color of her eyes when I said: "Mr. Bowser, do you ever recall the silly love letters you wrote me before we were innrrled?" "Once In awhile," he replied, follow ed by a laugh. "I have kept them and was rending them over the other dny. It doesn't seem possible that you could have written such rot." "But 1 wns like all other young asses. I thought you were the Bun. moon, stars and all else." "You used poor grammar nnd spelled many of jour words wrong." "No doubt, my dear. When a feller Is In love he doosii stop for grammar or orthography. Lord, but how I did wont to die for you!" I had brought up the most painful subject In our lives and the one to prick him hardest, nud yet be had not winced. He had even smiled com placently. I snt there nud tried to think of something else, but gave up In despair. By nnd by he nodded and yawned and after a minute put the cat down and said: "Dear, If you don't mind I'll lie down on the lounge for awhile, but don't let me sleep more than an hour." Iu five minutes he was snoring. Then I went to the telephone and softly rang up the doctor and said: "Doctor, I wish you would come over to the house a minute." "What Is It?" be asked. "Mr. Bowser has got a strange spell on." "What do you mean by strange spell?" "Why, he won't find fault with any thing and I can't make blm mad. He is as complacent as a clnm. Do you think he has a presentiment that he is not long for this world?" "Oh, he's nil right," laughed the doc tor. "Such spells come to all men. He's just resting, up to get a better bold. Look out for him when he breaks loose again. Don't be at all anxious. I have known n thousand cases of It Good night." M. QUAD. . ALWAYS WAS SICK. When a man says he Is always sick, troubled with a cough that lasted all winter what would you think if he should say he never was sick since using Ballard's Horehound Syrup. Such a man exists: Mr. J. C. Clark, Denver, Colorado, writes: "For years I was troubled with a severe cough that would last all winter. This cough left me In a miserable condition. I tried Ballard's Horehound Syrup and have not had a sick day since. That's what it did for me."
