1t was the night before election, and
when Mr.. Bowser came home to dinner,
he looked careworn and anxious. His
answers showed that his mind was pre-
occupied. but Mrs. Bowser didn't ask for
an explanation until the meal was finish
ed Then she wanted to know IL it was
another attack of the liver or the loss of
money In business. He stalked about the
room for FIVE minutes before answering.
Coming to a halt before her and sinking
his voice almost to>a whisper. he said:
Mrs Bowser. the fate of the nation
hangs trembling in the balance tonight,
and IL Is an occasion when every Ameri-
can citizen may well look and feel serious.
The life or death of a great and glorious
republic is to be decided within the next
twenty-four hours"
'Is this Presidential election so much
more different from all preceding ones?"
she asked
at is. For the first time in the history
of America the bulwarks of liberty are
the stake to be decided by to-morrow's
ballots"
1.-THE papers havn't made any great SEN
sation over It. Indeed, 1t has been rather
tame campaign. 1 haven't heard of
anybody who was worrying over the
downfall OF America"
But what does woman know Of the
political situation?" he demanded as he
posed with his hands under his coattails.
'The country may rise on a tidal wave
OF prosperity or be inguifed in the faith
omless depth Of despair. and no woman is
interested. If this country passes the
peril of tomorrow, it will not be the

The cat came up from the basement
and looked from one to the other and then
bumped her back and clawed the carpet
and seemed 20 say:
