enade he suddenly encountered it.
Something else also occurred at almost
the same instant A neighbours boy
Who had been watching the barefoot
cure from a second story window, de-
cided that Mr.. Bowser was too good a
target to be missed, and he let fly a
potato which hit the patient in the
back of the head just as the wire tack
led his feet. Mrs. Bowser heard a yell
which jumped her heart into her
mouth, and as she few to the window
MIR. Bowser was rolling oyer the ground
and trying to kick his legs loose from
the wire. He uttered fresh yell every
second, and each succeeding one was
louder and rounded off with more yigor
While Mrs. Bowser was running down
stairs to see what it was all about, he
got rid of the wire and sprang UP and
started for the back door on a keen
gallop. In his excitement he forgot
the clothes line, which he had been
compelled to bend to On every turn,
and it struck him across the breast and
lifted him off his feet and flung him
head over heels half way to the back
fence. There, with his head in the
grass and his legs doubled under, Mrs.
Bowser and the cook found him, and it
was half an hour later when he opened
his eyes and found himself lying on his
back on the sitting room floor, and the
two women rubbing his head and chat
ing his hands and holding various sorts
of liquids under his nose.
"Woman!" he exclaimed, as he made
cut the woman, this dast-
a2dly attempt on my life-this-
this
Are you conscious " interrupted
Mrs. Bowser
"Of course I'm conscious, and l want
to tell you that your murderous inten-
tons"
Then you'd better try and crawl UP
stairs, Mr.. Bowser, and I'll send for
the doctor. You've got about 400 digs
and scratches on your feet and legs, and
a lump as big as a goose egg on the
back Of your head, and it seems to me
that you've been telescoped together
and made two feet shorter. Just kesp
quiet now. | think your rheumatism
is permanently cured, but If you get
excited your life may pay the forfeit.
That's the way-crawl along on your

anything to the doctor about the bare
foot cure. Well just tell him that you
fell off the roof and struck a nest of
humble bees and feel in need of a
spring tonic!"

TIE ELEV ATOR BOY.

1t is the duty of an elevator boy to

was married, and if l should bring his
wife right up any time she called, and
he coldly turned On me with:
Boy, don't monkey with razors,
Keep your nose out of my business, and
you'll get along all the better for it.
When l want to confide my affairs to
you I'll send you world"

bow me down. Three or four days

was to so out into his own back yard

Tie Tries The Barefoot Cure For Rheumatism.
BY M. QUAD.

There you co. he interrupted, as he
got one foot barred. did l ever take
move to regain my health that you
didn't oppose me? Here is thing that
has been tried by thousands, and eff
fected a cure in every case, and yet you
call it nonsense! knew you'd ridicule
it as a matter of course, but that will
not change my purpose
Mrs. Bowser had nothing more to
say, and Mr.. Bowser removed the
other shoe and stocking, rolled up the
bottom of his trousers and was ready
to go out He hesitated for a minute
to give her a chance to make further
remarks, but as none came he de-
scended to the kitchen and passed ont
of the back door. He was out for the
dew, and he proceeded to look for it.
Folding his arms and keeping his head
well up he began promenading back
it wasn't five minutes before he mag
ined that he was already feeling better.
Mrs. Bowser came and looked out of the
window at him, and as he caught her
smile he growled:
"Oh, yes. She calls it another of my
,fads, and is giggling away to herself,
but let her giggle. Ten nights of it
and I'll be able to jump a fve-rail
fence
He turned to march back, and as he
did so he gave his right foot scrape
to scoop in an extra amount of dew.
The scrape was only half completed
when the watching Mrs. Bowser saw
him jump a foot high and come down
in a heap, and he was using swear
words by the dozen when she lifted the
sash and asked what was the matter.
He had picked up large and aggress-
i've carpet tack, but as he heard her
voice he yanked it out and exclaimed:
"There's nothing the matter with me,
and you put down that window and go
away. Mighty curious that l can't
make a move without your trying to
