he gave himself up to the cheerful

BoYser as he got out Of the dell and
went looking for babbing brook
He found a ditch which drained a
swamp, but didn't babble. 1t was
simply working nine hours per day for
ten hours wages. He fell into a hole
as he looked around for the blue bells
OF the woodland. and he fell over log
as he listened for the tap OF the wood
pecker and the squeal OF the squirrel.
He had to realize at last that there was
nothing in the greenwood for him, and
then he softly swore by the dust OF the
dead Bowsers that he'd never go home
till her had culled the daisy. 1t was
his oath that took him out Of the wood

HIS WHISPERS TERED
II AND Held THE POLICE
FROM INTERFERING.

NEW YORK, May 23.-The Schoen-
feldt brothers dispensed what they
thought was justice after the western
fashion of their brother-in-law Kess-
Ter Montrof, last night. They thought
that he was not treating their sister
properly and so they took it out of his
whiskers.
'kessler would not SO treat Reoecca
if he knew how fierce we would be with
him if we caught him, would he yet?'
asked David Schoenfeldt of his broth
er Henry.
"By g-raciousness, mott" agreed Hen
ry with vigor.
II think we go accuse him to him
self?" suggested David.
NO" unused Henry, running his
forefnger th%oughtfully up and down
the length Of his nose, mo, think we
will be a foxiness. we will go scare
him so that he treats our sister after
this like she was the czarina of Rus
STA already with 1000. 900 policemens
looking about her for disrespectful-
ness
The two went together to Montrof's
house at $50 Division street and inquir-
ed for him. He was out, their sister
said.
1T is good" said Henry rubbing his
hands. Excuse US while we get under
the bed
They ~wriggled under backward until
only the tips Of their whiskers wrigging
n~ervously on the floor betrayed their
presence.
Does he come YETI" inquired David
after they had been in position about
three minutes.
Il don't know" said Mrs. Montrof,
sadly.
"Ah, me Rebecca, how much | love
you that / stay in this place." murmur-
ed Henry.
You could not find money to hire
me to do this but love only." asserted
David.
Where did you find money!" cried
Henry and Rebecca in the same breath.
The excitement was hardly Strengthened
out When Montrof was heard approach
ing. Mrs. Montrof stood smiling to re-
ceiye him. The two brothers under the
bed wriggled out as far as they dared
to watch the meeting. Theirs Is the fol-
account OF the conversation, as
they gave it to Magistrate Hogan in

Why isn't my supper ready, Becky"
Montrof inquired.
1t is ready, Kessler," she answered.
i suppose you've been letting it get
cold all the afternoon" he snarled.
Usually, when approached in this
manner, it had been Mrs. Montrof's
habit to apologize and promise to try to
be good if her husband would only for
give her. But this time she smiled and
said that she had only just put the
supper on the table.

window.
Now are you sorry you are so
fresh?" he demanded.
You are the fresh one I think yet"
she answered, with a hitherto unheard
of show of spirit.
Il will show you who is the fresh
one" shouted Montrof. and he threw
off his coat and doubled up his fists.
Just then w faces emerged from I'M

Wait a minute" said Henry and
David in unison. Look out what you
do"
What are you in my house doing?"
demanded Montrof. somewhat dazed.
Wait a minutei Wait a minute"
the brothers chorused. I'VE will show
you what we are DOING
They rose at him, shedding their
coats, and each grabbed a handful of
his whiskers. In another minute tin
dishes and broken chairs came flying
