sent for the old woodsawyer again.
Mr.. Mouser of course grieved over
his loss, but managed to conquer the
regret sufficiently to display some of
his old wit and mirth.
But this good feeling received a
sudden check the morning after the
burglary of the ''jacl."
He had just opened the daily paper
when his glance was arrested by a
leading paragraph.
"LIzbeth, look at this -
Mrs. Mouser became alarmed. Her
husband was pale as death and trem-
bled in every limb. as he handed her
the paper. She read:
''The residence of the Hon. Oliver
was broken into night before last and
large sum of money and valuable
plate and jewelry stolen.
The robbers entered at the garden
window, from which they had remov-
ed the iron grating, while standing on
a singular-looking wooden object,
recognized by old-fashioned people
as saw buck 1t is painted light
green, and will doubtless prove a
valuable clue toward tracing the mis-
creants. A thousand dollars reward
is offered for return of jewelry or in
formation leading to the arrest of the
robbers"
"Why, this is splendid You can
at once notify the authorities that the
Jack is yours-the thieves who car
ried it off"
"Oh, my-oh, myl" groaned Mr..
Mouser "don't talk to me about
thieves-I may be arrested any mo-
ment when they discover"
Discover what? How can they
arrest an innocent man because he
owns an article stolen from him and
used by wretches-"
'Oh, Lizbeth-I may not even be
able to prove an alibi. Oh, what
shall l do? l tell you, wife, am MT
entirely innocent"
"Ah! we nab you confessing, my
fine bird, "a rude voice here interrupt
ed, followed by the entrance of the
minions of justice.
Mrs. Mouser begged, cried, storm
ed and implored. Mr.. Mouser was
mute and totally crushed, but the
bold minions of authority led him
away to a dungeon, where he Ian
guished three days before his friends
could obtain a hearing for him. In
the meantime the real culprits had
been caught, but the law required an
explanation of the language that APP
peared to the police like a confession
of conplicity-notwithstanding Mr..
Mouser's unquestionable social stand
ing and perfect respectability.
The courtroom was crowded with
his friends and neighbors. His wife
gazed at him tearfully and lovingly,
but Mr.. Mouser was very much cast
down. There was no escape. He
had to tell how distasteful wood-saw-
ing had proved to him-how he fear
ed the ridicule of wife and friends if
after all the boasting he gave it up.
But when he related his midnight
elopement with his green sawing-jack
even the court joined in the broad
smile that ripened into a roar of
laughter from the less dignified lis
teners. The crowning humiliation
came, however, when he left the pris-
on for the coach to be taken home.
There he saw the green abomination
resting at the drivers feet on the
front of the carriage. His wife has
not stopped laughing yet at his mid
night adventure.

It is Absurd

For people to expect a cure for Indiges-

what is unwholesome but if anything
will sharpen the appetite and give tone
