Mrs. Bowser looked anxious, and the
cat came up the basement stairs with
grin on her face while Mr.. Bowser
sat down TO his newspaper. He kept
quiet for five minutes. Then. he rose
up with tine remark:
You bet can stop smoking! If l
thought | couldn't. I'd go and hang
myself! However, as don't want any
sudden shock to my nervous system

You'd better smoke half cigar?"
suggested Mrs. Bowser with a smile.
Never, Do you take me for fish
worm? l have quit smoking for a
year, and that settles it. l was think
ing, however. that I might chew cloves
Or spice or something to divert ms
thoughts."
He went down to the pantry and go,
a handful Of roasted coffee berries and
then sat down for awhile on the base
ment stairs to call himself names for
throwing away three 10 cent cigars in
stead Of laying them up somewhere.
The cat came and sat down beside him
ana plainly showed her sympathy, but
at the end of Ave minutes he gave her
a slap and ascended to the sitting room
to announce that he was going over to
the drug store for licorice root. He
was about to put on mis- hat when he
noticed smile on Mrs. Bowser's face,
and he turned On her with:
''oh, you are grinning, are you? You
think it win turn ont as it has before,
but III show you to the contrary. If
l was told that my life depended on
my smoking. I wouldn't take a single
puff After living with me another 10
years perhaps you'll find ont that I'm
a man of my word"

great will power. she quietly replied.
Hu Ltt L itdNG- Gnu L II s5iNC you q
surprise over this smoking business.
They say that il you chew licorice root
it will take away the longing, but let
her long and be darned!"
During the next hour Mr.. Bowser
hunted the pantry for spice, CHINA
mon, nutmeg and other things, and
he even went so far as to sprinkle
piece of raw cabbage with cayenne
pepper and shed liberal supply ut
tears as he worried it down. The con-
ISOLATION in each instance was brief.
As Mrs. Bowser watched him prowling
around she knew what would happen
sooner or later. but she was powerless
to avert it. AS he paced back and
forth, his nerves on edge for a smoke,
he suddenly discovered a hairpin on
the floor. 1t was a cheap. steel hair
pin, costing about a fifth of a cent,
but it was enough to serve his pur-
pose.

how much longer things could run on
tick, but hoped it might be for three
months more. He was living on in a
blissful state Of certain uncertainty,
finding fault with the steak and sug-
costing a change of puddings, when
the demeanor OF the landlady warned
him that a crisis was at hand. He was
the man for the crisis. 1t was at the
dinner table that the notes of the warn
ing bell struck his ear, and when he
had finished his meal he rose up before
the other boarders with the dignity of
a millionaire AMI observed:

Mr.. Bowser came home to dinner the
other night looking a good deal wor-

as to what had happened were put
aside until dinner vas finished. Then
he made considerable ado about pull
ling out his cigar case and breaking
up three or four cigars and tossing
them out of the back window. As he
had been an inveterate smoker for Is
years and as he had treated the adj
vice of friends and the family doctor
with contempt, Mrs Bowser had a
right to feel a good deal of surprise at
his action. as she looked at him in an
ifquiring way he crossed his hands I'M

upon her and said:

Heaps of good news, ;" was the re-
ply. Yesterday We burned seven
mission houses" ~
THAT waA fairly well done"
And we massacred 47 missionary
workers"
Not a large number, but l suppose

'And We butchared over 100 native

The number ought to have been 200,
but as long as you did your best |

cellent sing-Gee?"
Well, We found another stray mis-
sionary and did him up after the usual
fashion. He was only one but he had
been in China about % years and had
always managed to escape us before.

If you had been smoking you

my senses had been stepped in nicotine
my eyes would have been blinded TO
your extravaganza. I have been your
victim for years and years, but my
eyes are opened at last Beginning to-
morrow morning, l shall take the full
management of this house into my own
hands and make a wonderful change"
Mrs. Bowser was wise enough to
make no answer, and as he descended
10 the basement to hunt for something
more to chew on she slipped up stairs.
He missed her when he came back,
and he did not know whether to follow
her and raise a row about the last gas
bill or TO look over his papers with a
view OF applying for a divorce at eight
o'clock in the morning. The question
was still undecided in his mind when
the thought of a smoke flashed across
his mind.
NO. never." he exclaimed as he
drove it out. q am a man of will pow
er. have said l wouldn't smoke and
won't"
He found a lemon on his last trip to
the pantry. and he sucked away at it and
mused:
"AIl I've got to do is TO put my will at
work and I'll show Mrs Bowser that 1t
is the will of a Napoleon"
The lemon seemed to increase his long
ing instead of bunting it. and after ex-
changing it for a stick of cinnamon he
unused:
"Still. the question arises. if stopping so
short off won't give the nervous system
a shock? If I should reduce my cigars TO
five or six a day?'-
A CLEAN OF hope came to his heart and
a smile to his face.
Reduce to six day at first, and then
gradually to none at all OF course. I
could stop dead off from tonight and
never smoke again. I've got an iron
will
He suddenly remembered that he had a
long black cigar in the pocket OF a coat
hanging up in the closet-one given him
by the family butcher as he paid his last
billiard he could hear his own heart
bea ting"
Five minutes later Mrs Bowser looked
out OF a back window and saw Mr.. Bow
ser seated on a chair in the back yard.
He was putting away at that cigar and
had the cat on his knees. There was a
smile Of acute satisfaction on the face Of
each, and as she looked he slapped his
leg and laughed and chuckled and said to
himself:
