IT'S ALL RIGHT,
Town on his programme to roll out of bed
with the coverings "wapsed' around him
till 1t took two minutes to kick himself
loose. During the interval he was yelling
"Firei" and directing Mrs. Bowser to tele-
phone to the police station. She had the
bedroom door open for him to run down
stairs, but he got into the hall to canter up
and down and dodge into the various rooms
and out again.
mr.. Bowser, be calm!" she called to him
as she seized his arm and tried to hold him.
"Yes-yes-Ia am calm-Firei Policei The
house is on fret" he shouted in reply as he
broke way and continued his cantering.
Mrs. Bowser let him go and hurried down
stairs, where she found the covering of the
lounge smoking and smoldering from con-
tact with the cigar he had smoked just be-
fore going to bed. Shegan into the kitchen
and filled the first dish she could find with
water and had the fire out at one dash.
She had turned to go up stairs, when there
was a fall Il a great humping and clat-
tering, and down rolled Mr.. Bowser with
his arms tightly clasped around a soapbox
full of old hats and shoes which he had
pulled out of the storeroom at the pack of
the house.

up in the hall.
"Yes-our child be hangedl Policel We
shall be burned alive!' he yelled as he
struggled up and few up the stairway.
She followed IL minute later to find him
galloping around the upper hall with a foot
bath under one arm and an old picture
frame under the other, and he didn't come
to a realizing sense of the situation until he
had raised a back window and heaved them
into the yard. When he had learned what
caused the smoke and that all danger was
passed, he sat down on a chair and waved
his arm enthusiastically and exclaimed:
"Didn'tI tell you so? Didn't | say | should
be as cool as ice and make every move ac-
cording to programmed BY George, but
that was a close shave! You We're perfect
ly helpless, and between having to look out
for you and the child and put the fire ont
! had business enough for any two men!"
Mrs. Bowser looked hard at him and was
going to speak. but On second thought she
didn't say II word, and to this hour Mr..
Bowser continues to brag Of how he did just
the right thing mt the right time to save
'h""' all from bein. cremated.

And Mr.. Bowser crossed his hands under
his coattails and proceeded to pace back
and forth across the room and utterly
ignore the fact of Mrs. Browser's continued
presence. A night or two later, as he slept
and dreamed, something nudged his ribs.
and he heard a voice saying:
