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,

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.
