And on the third be bed fell on one of the men. I he was a fat German, and he I with a barked shin and a mls- ■per.

And then the two expressmen put their ahouldera to the bed and swung It Into the doorway with such vehemence that it stuck like a fat cork in a small bottle and refused to budge. “Well, this Is a pretty state of things," said Mrs. Cochran from be hind the bed. “How do you suppose we’re going to close our front door with that great bed In the way?" “You won’t need to close it. No one vlll come in vhile der bet is dere. It is besser as a door." And the German laughed uproariously and fatly. “Oh. but this Is too awful!” said Mrs. Bentley, wringing her bands helplessly. "I should think It was,' came the voice of Mrs. Cochran from the other side of the bed. "Is your busband In there? Can’t he help push?” suggested Mrs. Bent- ley. “No,” snapped Mrs. Cochran, “He hasn't come borne yet, and, what’s more, he can’t until this barricade is removed. How anybody but a fool could have bought such a monstrous thing I don’t see!” At this Juncture Mr. Cochran came upstairs, with Mr. Bentley just be hind him. Mr. Cochran looked puz zled. Mr. Bentley groaned. He bad come home too soon. “What are you doing to tbe bed?" asked Mr. Cochtan. “Ve ain’t doin’ a t'ing to id,” said the fat German joyously. Beutley and Cochran laughed, but Mrs. Bentley saw no humor In tbe re mark. and certainly Mrs. Cochran saw no funny side to the bed. Both sides seemed tragic to her. "Is that you, George?” she called out. "Yes, It's me. Shall 1 come In?” "You can’t except by the fire es cape,” sakl Mrs. Cochran despairingly. "What are you doing with It lu the wrong door?" asked Mr. Bentley of the expressmen. “Sure, 'twould have shtook as fasht In anny dure." said the Irish express man, and the German roared sympa- thetically. Mr. Cochran is a man of action "Here; we four men ought to be able to move a little be—a bed. Now, alto- gether; pull!” Mr. Cochran Is a successful politi cian, but be had the wrong kind of pull with him, and the only result of the effort was that Mr. Bentley pulled off some of the molding and fell on his back. Nothing daunted, Mr. Cochran said. "Let’s go around by way of the fire escape and push.” The two expressmen and Mr. Coch ran made nothing of passing from Mrs. Bentley’s parlor to Mrs. Coch ran’s parlor by the fire escape, but Mr. Bentley Is light headed and bad to be helped across—by his wife. Then the two entered the Cochran apartments for the first time like thieves In the night. Now all six combined tbelr strength and pushed, but tbe bed only laughed at them. “Well, nothing more can be done now.” said Cochran. “The bed Is here, and It’s got to stay here for the pres ent. Now, you men might as well go about your business. You've done what you set out to do—the bed is up here fast enough.” “How much do 1 owe you?" asked Bentley of the German. “Two dollars. I'll sent arount a car penter If you vand.” "Oh. no!” said Mrs. Bentley. "He'll be able to move It." Back across the fire escape was Mr Bentley helped by his faithful wife, and then they bade tbe Cochrans good night. It was such an Impossible thing that had happened that everybody fell good natured once more, just as tn a blizzard or a period of excessive heat people make light of their misfortunes and passersby joke one another. Next morning Immediately after breakfast Mrs. Bentley went down to the bed company to see whether they could suggest a way of getting the bed out of Mrs. Cochran’s doorway. They had moved, and a big sign in the window bore the legend, “To Be Opened in a Few Days as a Ladles' Lunch Room.” For the space of two days that bed stood in the doorway while carpenter after carjienter came and looked at it and shook his head and went away. Then came one who said: “I've seen those beds before. They ain’t worth bothering with. Tbe company’s failed that made them. Now, next door to my shop is a vacant lot, and if I cut the bed to pieces I guess you can dump it there and the owner of the lot won't mind.” Mrs. Bentlav hailed tbe scheme as a heaven sent proposition. Mr. Bentley was downtown, and Mrs. Cochran, who was on the other side chatting with her—for in spite of what bad come between them they were now quite friendly—seconded the plan. The carpenter borrowed an ax of the janitor, and tn a half hour’s time, with the exception of tbe mirror, which was preserved intact, there was not a square foot of the bed unbroken The carpenter sent the pieces down on the dumb waiter and then took them away and presumably dumped them Mrs Cochran spent five minutes shut ting and opening the door. It was so pleasant to be able to do It again. Then Mrs. Bentley invited her neigh bor Into her flat and apologized for I making so much trouble. “It was no trouble at all. my dear It baa made something to talk about." Now. Mr Bentley seemed to think that $25 for the bed. $2 for delivery and $10 for damage to the hallway«, together with the charge of tbe car penter for tbe time It took him to de stroy tbe bed. was rather a large amount to pay for a subject o, conver sation.
