It yon wm reslralu your fond ness for anrcasttc remarks 1 bopo you will do so fur this onoe." "I hor you ro uot Rttlng tt tell me that you have dlneoverpil a new planet In the hettwus," she nnswewl. "I urn not looking for now planets lust uow. ttiouith I may Uglu Inter oo. This nfteruoou a mnn from Troy cornel A TRAMP AT TUB BAMKMEKT tKWH. , Into the otllce on business. lie bad a dog with blm. and do you know that I seemed to recognize In that dog; an old and dear friend of uilue wbo died at least ten years agoT Same eyes, suiua mouth, same hopeless expression of face. Why, I rose out of my chair at first sight of blm." "And then you sat down aguln," sho replied. "I expected you'd get back to that noiisetiKo niMilu. It's only a few months ago that you seared tbo cook away by your talk about transmigra tion, telling ber that she'd probably turn Into a cat when sho died, and If 1 were you I'jl let tt alone. I tell you It's all bosh." "So you call the theory of transmi gration all bosh, do your he sharply asked as be turned on ber. Ridicules the Theory. "Of course I do. At leaRt It Is a the ory so far fetched that no sensible per son will waste nny time over It Let us talk about somcthlug else. I wns reading today tliut big money could be made by starting huckleberry swamps." "Never you uilud about that, Mrs. Bowser. Let the huckleberry business take care of ltnelf. The question bo fore us is, What becomes of our souls when the breath leaves the body? Do you care whether your soul passes into the body of a dog or a dove? If you don't, It Is something to me what be comes of mine. I don't banker to come back to earth as a hippopotamus or an alligator. Too cull the theory of trans migration all bosh, and yet It Is gain ing ground every day, and millions of people believe In it" , "Well, If they want to believe In such rubbish let tbem go ahead.' "There you go again! Itubblsh? Rub bish? By what right do you call the belief of at least a billion peopls rub bish? There is either good foundation for this belief or else all these people are fools. How can you say what be comes of your soul after death?" "And how can you?" she queried. "I ean't exactly, and yet when I look into the face of a dog from Troy and recognize the features of a dear old playmate who died In Kalamazoo many years ago It goes to convince me that there Is more In the theory than I ever accepted." t "I trust your dear old playmate was well and that yob enjoyed his call Did you mention that you used to play ball and hopscotch with, blm? Did you ask how he liked being a Troy dog for a change? Did he seem to also rec ognize your ' "Sneering already.' That'll you all over. I never set out to talk with you on any matter of deep Interest unless you try to belittle It. Woman, right here and now I boldly announce my self as a transmlgratlonlst of the deep eft dye, and If you have got any sense in your head I can prove the. theory in ten minutes. Yes, I, can do It In one. Look at that cat will you?" The family feline had been out on the fence walloping other felines and showing who was boBS, but bad come in with a look of Innocence and mod esty on her face and was sitting up on the hearth rug. Mrs. Bowser regarded her for a moment and then observed: , "It's our old cat, right enough." " , "Yes, it's our old cat and who does be remind you of? By thunder, but It's ftrasse, that I never remarked .tbe tlkintoss tilYilrel Mrs. DM-iM, ns true as you live, tho soul of your sister Itanunh, wbo died three years ago, has passed into that cat! Look at nor, I'snyt If that Isn't Uannah'a expn ston to a dot, then I'll uut tny lint!" Saw Relative In Cst "Nonseusel You must Iw craty. Btie looks like nuy other cat, nml that's al) there ts to It. You can see whnt silly tilings your theory loud to, It's slmuio to t'omiutre. her to Ilmiuuu." "And you see uo resemblance?" lis nuked, "You can't see that she sits there with lior chlu cocked up just as ltiumiiu umhI to after I had told her ttmt she shouldn't climb fence and roll over on the grasa?" "No, sir. 1 can't, mul I want you to quit umkiug such comtmrlsous." Them It's because your well known obstbiacy won't penult you to. Han nah's soul went Into Hint cat ns sure ns you're born, nml that's why she'll bung n round as she has. That s only oue ciiho, however. All human soul do not pass Into the bodies of animals, oius of IIhmu puss Into other ieopte. W'huu l die my soul may puss Into the body of some dear little bnbo who will grow up to be a celebrated statesman, poet or philosopher," .' "Or jutik dealer or kulfo grinder,1' iiiir?fttHl Mrs, Bowser. Mr. ItowNor hud Jut got red lu tbe face sud was nUuit to resent the suesr when the cook came up and said there was a tramp At the basemeut door who wanted money for a night's lodging and demnuded to see the master of the house. ""wimp It's some one Into whoso body tho soul of one of your eld friends has passed," said Mr. Bowser ss Mr. Bowser torn up. "You may even find the nuiu to have the eyes and nose and chin of your brother Joe, who was drowned lu the Ohio river ten yenra ogo. If It prove to bo so, you will of eourwo use blm very tenderly." The transtulgrntlonlst turned nod glared at her and nodded bis head In an ominous way, but she had given him en Idea, and he meant to work It out At the basement door ho found a burly big tramp w ho was a believer in the rights of man and who lost n time In snylns: "Why should I bo comH)IIcd to sleep on the ground beueath tree while you occupy n hair mattress in a lui urlotis bedroom? I'm wanting a dime to put me up somewhere." "And you shall have It." replied Mr. Bowser ns he walked the man. down to the gate to l out of earshot of Mrs. Itowser. "You have arrived at an op portuuo moment You know what 'op partuoe' Is. don't you?" "If it's turning me over to cop, don't yon try it ou!" replied the man. "Oh, you need have no fear. Have you ever heard of tho theory of trans migration?" "Never." "Well, it's tbo theory that when a person dies his soul passes Into tbe body of some one else. For Instance, you strongly remind mo of ft boy named John Davis, whom I knew years ago. He died when I was fifteen. He was a good boy and a liberal hearted boy." "And you are wondering If bis soul passed Into my body? Wonder no longer. It did. You hare bit the nail on the bead. I kuowod you the min ute yon opened the door. How are you, governor? Shake!" He Agreed With Bowser. "Thls-tbls Is almost Incomprehensi ble," said Mr. Bowser as he extended bis hand. "Not at all, governor. I'm Joe Da vis, your old playmate, and I've called for that dollar you was owing mo when Idled. Fork over." "But I never owed you a dollar. Now that 1 come to look at you more closely I see" "You see your old playmate, and he wants nl dollar." "Ue can't get It nod you take your self off." ' Mr. Bowser turned away, but he hadn't tuken two steps before there was a nilxup, and ho was one of the mixers. When tho conflict had lasted three' minutes the tramp jumped tbe fence, ntid Mr. Bowser sat up and saw Mrs. Bowser beside blm and asked whnt bad happened. , "Oh, nothing much!" she replied, "You jast met the soul of a dear old playmate that had passed Into the body of a tramp, and you were thrown down and rolled on tbe grass until you wl'.l smell of new mown hay for a month to come. Let's get into the house before tbe soul of some other dear o!d friend that has entered the body of a policeman comes along and uses bis club." M. QUAD.
