bould hope so.” saM Mrs Ceeh-
ran, looking at the dent* In the wall
and tbe broken globe*. 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

stroy tbe bed. was rather a large
