That evening the bogus boarder ar.
rived with his loaded trunk at the
Toodles' mansion.
Mrs. Toodles. gayly arrayed for the
grand occasion, welcomed him with
her most captivating smiles, and Mr..
ToodIes solemniy escorted him to the
dining room.

unsuspecting amateur landlady had ex-

obliged to say, she intended to soon run
on hash and stews and other less ex.
pensive but equally i1lling dishes.
Mr.. Toodles, looking as meek and
innocent as newborn babe. did the
honors from his end of the table, and
Mrs Toodlea. beaming with delight and
graciousnesa. nobly attended to her
part
For awhile al went on swimmingly,
but soon even the twins in high chairs
opposite Mr.. Jack evinced surprise at
the rapid disappearance Of the food, and
. par1onable fear lest they should
starve in tho midst Of such . plenty.
Mrs Toodles. in spite Of her ac-
fame Is . hostess, showed
signs Of uneasiness. and soon became
positively nervous At each fresh as
sault the new boarder made on tho
while her husband. pretending
not to see her warning glances, kept ON

lowed by the Unsuitable boarder to top

threatened TO collapse entirely Mr..
Easyman pronounced himself satisfied
