but as he refused to go he was taken
hold Of to be assisted. He didn't pro-
pose to drop the equality business
without a struggle. and there was
row in which the dining room was al
most wrecked and Mr.. Bowser was
badly pummeled. BY the time the

The man was taken into the bases

his dinner at the table. She looked In
wonder and astonishment and demur-
red, but Mr.. Bowser insisted, and she
reluctantly complied. When the fell

went up stairs to explain what he had
done and what was to follow, but Mrs.

minutes he went down, but the tramp
was still heaving it in with knife and

bottle of claret, with which he was
making free. Mr.. Bowser WINGED
little, but gave him 10 minutes more.
