Mrs. Bowser had no remembrance of any
second cousin, and she was sure that Mr..
Bowser had held no correspondence with
any for years and years. Besides, he was
not the man to let the death of a distant
relative pull him down to any extent.
She wanted to say so, but it suddenly oc-
Cured to her that this was one of Mr..
Bowser's freaks. AS they sat down to
dinner she began to chat of the events OF
the day to chase away his sorrow, but he
looked at her reprovingly and said:
Mrs. Bowser, this hilarity is altogether
out of place under the circumstances, and
you ought to have sence enough to real
ize it,
Il am not hilarious, she replied, but
I do not see why the death of a second
cousin whom you awe not seen for e
years should plunge our house into the
depths of gloom"
IF you do not, I do. and you will great
ly oblige me by keeping your levity for
some other OCCASION"
He ate s~paringly and sighed frequently,
and he forgot to say that the steak was
o%verdone and that there were Jumps in
the mashed potatoes. AS they adjourned
to the sitting room he sank into a chair
with a whispered groan and said to him.
