Mrs. Bowser saw how things were even before he had entered the gate, and she shaped her policy accordingly. She got him downstairs and through dinner with out an outbreak, and then she fell down. That is, the cook brought oil u huckleberry pie for dessert, it had been made because Mr. Bowser had asked for it. Something like n smllo came to his face as he saw it, and he would have enjoyed it had not Mrs. Bowser said: ••you see, dear, we remembered your favorite. 1 hope it is as good a huckle berry pie as your mother used to make.” . "Huckleberry?” he queried us he drew back. “ Mrs. Bowser, If you cau speak the English language, I wish you would do so.” “ Why, what Is wrong?” “ There Is a berry culled whortle berry. You have tio more license to call it a huckleberry than you have to cull it a crubapple.” j “ But the grocer aud lots o f other people call it huckleberry.” “ What the grocer and lots of other people call things Is nothing to me. I asked you to make a whortleberry pie. The cook has made a pie of something else, and it can therefore be removed.” “ You surely arc uot going to stick at such a trifle as that,” said Mrs. Bowser. “ I f you want It whortle.

The more he com plained the more lie ached to pick a fuss, aud Mrs. Bowser was finally driven to silence. Before bedtime Mr. Bowser, who sat on the front steps alone, had bad rows with two melon peddlers and a stranger looking for a man named Smith. There was a long breath of relief as the lights were turn ed out. and for An hour after getting to bed Mr. Bowser slept soundly. Then of a sudden he awoke and called out: “ By the seven horned cats, but there is a mosquito in tills room!” “ Yes. there may I k * one,” sleepily re plied Mrs. Bowser. “ But what is it doing here?

An hour passed, ami then Mrs. Bowser’s ears were saluted with: “ By thunder, but 1 won’t stand this another minute!” “ What is It now?” she asked. “ It's that Infernal skeeter after me again.
