After dinner next day We made start
think Mr.. BOwser started with the firm de
termination 70 keep his good nature al
every hazard, but something occurred al
most Immediately 10 upset him. The street
car was janb-fuI and running over. bat lt
stopped and we wedged our way in. IN the
squeeze some one stepped On Mr.. Bowser's
corn, some one else knocked his plug hat of,
and a third person was heard 10 remark
that II he weighed ton he would charter d
special car when he wanted 10 ride. This
put Mr.. Bowser in trim TO say to the con-
ductor:

Don't know, sir"
Then you'd better fad outl It's an in

"Thaz rize, old fei'rl' shouted q half
drunken man from the front of the car.
''Go in, old bay window" added a second.
"Ten 10 one on old Bowser," yelled a man
from the rear platform.
We finally got down 10 the boat. 1t was
black with humanity, and l didn't want 10
60 but Mr. Bowser elbowed people right
and left and | followed. After being
crowded, pushed, jambed, squeezed and
knocked about for ten minutes got chair,
of which a drunken man had Just fallen,
and Mr. Bowser found standing room be-
side me.
~ told you thought the boats would be
crowded." remarked as soon as could get
my breath.
''Well, tnat shows all you know about it.
There's no crowd on this boat She could
carry as many again
But what rough set OF peopler'
mo rougher than we are. You simply
want to find fault and make me uncomfort-
able"
Just at that moment a tough came up,
looked Mr.. Bovser over from crown to heel,
and then said:
'You look like the bloke who trew mud at
me little sister last May"
"Sirl You are mistaken" replied Mr..
Bowser.
What er you doin wild all that stole
onl' demanded the tough as he brought his
arm around and gave Mr.. Bowser's hat .
"swat' which sent it flying to the deck.
Mr. Bowser grabbed him and there would
have been q fight had not a number Of men
interfered. When the hat was recovered il
had a shoulderblade and three ribs broken.
and in the brief clinch the tough had torn
away Mr.. Bowser's necztie.
I'm so sorry we came" l said, as | got
chance to speak to him. "You know
told you | thought it would be very un.
pleasant"
"Yes, of course you are sorryi You can't
bear to see me enjoying myself. | wasn't
aware that any thing unpleasant had oc
Cured"
In getting OF the boat at the island some
one stepped on my dress skirt and nearly
tore IL of, while Nr. Bowser's hat was
crushed down over his eyes and some one
picked his cigar-case out of his coat-tal
pocket We finally got out Of the crowd
and wandered away until we reached
