Mr. Bowser bad revived ft letter
from her mothV statlug that alio would

enough to stralfhlen Mr, Bowser out

boon said to Mr, Bow iter about tbe lot
tor. On varlou oor-aslons, when told
that tbo inothor-ln law waa to arrive.
be Into oxiiroaiiod bla opinion of the
"brand" In language both forcible and
Jagged. How be discovered that tbo
eroot waa coming off will alway bo
bla soerot, but discover It be did. In
toad of arriving homo from the offlco
at tbo uauul bour he wa twenty min
ute lato, and to Mra, Bowser In-
"wt!.r motb an, im out to an ton."
tense turprtso be arrived In a carriage,
and tin? tnother waa with blm. He
i bad been nt tlio depot on ber arrival to
J meet ber.
I "Well, mother. I'm glad to oe you,"
. wa tbo Mlutatlon that greeted ber aa-
! ton Is lied ear, and aba bad turned pale
od almost whispered tbo word:
'la-la Borah deadf
"Why, of course not," be laughed.
"Tlicu what are you hero forF'
I "To meet you, of course. I have a
! csrrlago hero at the door for us. Got
; the cheek for your trunk, or dldu't you
. bring anything but your satchel? Glad
, to see yon looking so wt'Il. Come right
; along."
It Waa Hsr Son-in-law.
i The mother-! n-law looked again and
: again to ce If she waa mlatakeu In the
! irnui. He wn a abort man. He wa a
fat mnn. Ho waa n baldhended man.
Ye. It wa Mr. Bowser, but what aort
Of a gmitft was bo playing? After alio
had been riding five minute a amlrfen
suspicion canio to ber, and ah wheeled
on him nml nuM:
"Snniuel Bowser, don't think you cau
drive me off to oome lout-ly tot and
have me murdered! I'll fltfht for my
life to the Inst gnsp!"
Mr. Bowser ronred with laughter,
and then taking ber hand be replied:
"Why, mother, what put ouch an
Idea into your head? Instead of want
ing to murder yon I want to give you
tho best visit you ever bad at my
bouse. You will find cblckeu potpie
and nit your favorite dishes for din
ner." "But you call me mother."
"And why shouldn't IF'
Sho didn't know. She knew that bo
had called hor "old bulldosser," "that
old woman," Hint alio wolf," and other
things In the past, and that of a sudden
an awful change must have come over
blm. It waa ho, but oho couldn't be
lieve It was him. Her relief was great
when the carriage stopped at last In
front of the house. To tho very last
minute she bad expected to be ab
ducted or blown up. Her very first
words to Mra. Bowsor were:
"Surah, has Samuel gone crazy or
anything?"
"Why, no, mother. What makes you
thluk such a thing?"
Mot Hor at tho Depot
"Ho ho met me, at the depot."
"I didn't know that be was going to,
but I am very glad of It."
"He be called mo mother."
"Yes."
"And he bo bad a carriage."
"Just as It should be."
"But It Isn't like him, Sarah-it Isn't
a bit like blm. Think bow many times
be has let me como alone on a street
ear. Think how many times he has
welcomed me here with ouly a sneer
and a grunt. It was only tho last time
I was here that bo called mo a dodo.
I toll you, Sarah, that there Is some
thing wrong with the man. He has
either gone crasy or Is planning to put
mo out of the wny."
During the dinner Mr. Bowser was
solicitous. Ho was also full of good
cheer and lively conversation. Even
Mrs. Bowser, who knew bis every ec
centricity, was surprised. The mother-in-law
drank her tea and wondered If
It had been slyly poisoned. She ate of
the potpie and wondered if she would
be found dead In the morning, Mr.
Bowser told Jokes and tun do her laugh.
But oho wa on her gnnrd just tbe
same, When dinner was over be
naked ber If h wanted to go to tbo
theater, and when alio beggod to bo
excused bo went out and botght ber
i ffni" bouquet" Sho accepted 'iCw&b

sat down to take the curtain lecture
she wa always sure to give bbn sho
found heroolf unable to begin It, It
was a glifl relief to ber when be said
bo guessed he'd drop Into the club for
an bour or o, With the slightest n
courngwmeut on ber puti he would
have kissed ber au rcvolr as bo nt
out, When be was elenr of tbe house
she returned to ber daughter aiid de
manded: , ,
"Now, then, how long ha tub, thing
boon going on?"
"Da you mean Mr, Bowser?"
Noticed a Chang.
"Of course I mean Mr, . Bowser.
When did you first tn llco tho change

"Mother, Mr. Bowser U all right
Ho's Just the same as other husbands,
Ha ha his good spelti and bis bad

on tbo floor or a broken dlU In the
back yard he'll stand up and scold and

of bla good apella on."
"It may be so; It may be so." mut
tered , tbe mother t; shu shook her
bead In a doubtful way. 'Toes be
keep an ax down celiiii i"
"I believe there's nu old ax down
there," ,'"
"Then toll tbe cook to get ft and
hide It. She should also hide tbe
butcher knife. Have you parts green
or rat poison In the bour ,
"Not a bit. You don't suppose"
"Surah, you listen to me. Samuel
may have what you call one of bla
good streaks on, or be may be as crazy
as a bedbug and dissembling for a
certain object That object Is my
dentb. I have made htm alt up and
take notko. I ' have made blm alt
down and shut up. I have bluffed
blm out of his boots. Don't you forget
Hint he would like to get even with
me. Suppose be brings home poison
with blm? Suppose be sets tbo bouse
afire tonight aud rescues you and
leaves me to perish In the flame?"
Sho Wa 8uipleioo.
"Now, mother, you are talking as If
you were crazy yourself," chlded Mrs.
Bowser. "No man la In lovo with his
mother In law, but they generally re
sport them. You have glveu Mr. Bow
ser many a bard rub, but I am sure
bo bears no enmity
Tbo mother-in-law walked over to
the telephone aud called up the family
doctor and asked:
"Doctor, what are the first symptoms
of Insanity In a man?"
"Just what do you meanf was quer
ied In reply. ,
"I am Mr. Bowser's mothcr-ln-Iaw."
"Yes, I have beard of you."
"I arrived here this evening."
"Yea."
"Mr. Bowser found out some way
that I was coming, and be was at the
depot with a carriage to meet me."
"You don't say! That's the first
time I ever beard of such a"thlng In
all my life."
"And wouldn't you consider It a sign
of Insanity on his part?"
"I should. The man must be as
crazy as a loon. When you go to bed
tonight double lock your door, pile all
tbe furniture against It and sit up all
night with n hatpin in your hand."
"That settles It," said tbe mother-in-law
as she hung up the receiver. "Sar
ah. I'm going to a hotel to pass the
night'" .
"Why, mother!"
"No use to talk to me. I've felt that
my life was In danger from the mo
ment 1 saw Samuel at the depot and
now your own family doctor, who
knows him from bead to heel, has con
firmed my worst suspicions. I have
not come here to be murdered In my
bed!"
Half au hour later Mr. Bowser cam.'
home. He' asked for "mother," and
Mrs. Bowser replied: '
"She's gone to a hotel for. fear of
you."
"But what's tbe matter with me?"
"You are too good."
"Oh, !" said Bowser as he sat
down with a chug. M. QUAD.
