 At almost any other time those words would have jumped MT. Bowser 8 foot high, but on this occasion he re marked calm and placid, and there was a touch of pathos in his tones as he replied:
 'sVery well, Mrs. Bowser; we will let the subject drop right here. If I die few years before my time. odds is the difference"
 He dropped into chair and held his head in his hands, and the cat came in from the hall and sat down in front of him and looked so mournful that Mrs. Bowser melted enough to say:
 "Well, what did the doctor say ?"
 General decay of the muscular sys- tenn above the waist" answered MT. Bowser. "I forget what medical term he used. but that's what it amounts to. Too vigorous action of the heart, com bined with lack of exercise, is what has brought it about. I may collapse any day"
 Didn't the doctor say there was a remedy P
 'sYes; he advised immediate and vigorous exercise-something for the arms and shoulders in particular. I went right out and joined bowling club, and I thought I'd drop in this evening and roll a few balls. If it wasn't a case of life and death, you know"-

 "And under the circumstances you won't raise row about my being out for the evening?''
 No. If you have decay of the mus cular system, you must see to it at once"

 .sNo?"
 Tt may be little late, you see. If find my muscles limbering up, shall keep right at it. Just go right to bed at the usual time and don't worry about my condition. think I have taken 1t in time and will come out all right"
 It was, true that pain under his shoulder blade had sent MT. Bowser to a uuack doctor and that he had been told to exercise more and eat less. He had imagined about all the rest. After getting out of the house he let no grass grow under his feet before reaching the club. He was warmly welcomed and

1 was told that the first thing in order
 was to take drink. It came out soon
 after he had swallowed his glass that he was attacked with decay of the
 muscular system, and by advice he l took another. The 20 men at the club
 that evening were all thoughtful, kind
 hearted men, and when Mir. Bowser l got his coat and vest off and his sus- l penders tied around his waist and was
 ready for bowling they suggested that
 he have little something to drink to l take the stiffness out of his shoulders. { When he rolled his first ball, it jumped put of the alley and knocked colored
 boy into the middle of next week and
 then crashed through a window, and
 some enthusiastic individual suggested cocktails. His second remained on the alley and jumped over the pins and knocked the side of the house out, and that incident created thirst for more drink.
 l MT. Bowser was Timber on his legs and seeing 24 pins and three or four al- leys when he made ready to roll his third ball. He meant to make it win ner. He got a firm grip and swung it 1 to and fro and then took a short run and let her go. The action caused him 1 to sit down on the waxy blanks with 1 jar that shook his teeth in their sock | cts, and he heard shouts of excitement and enthusiasm as the ball knocked down four pins and a post and follow ed the first out of the window. When they had assisted MT. Bowser to his feet and all had taken drink over his miraculous bowling, the. thought sud- denly struck him that he ought to go home. He also got it into his head that he must carry the victorious ball with him to show Mrs. BoWser, and as he seemed inclined to be rusty about it he was permitted to have his own way. He departed with his coat and vest on one arm and the ball under the other, and half an hour later the sleeping Mrs. Bowser was awakened by rack ct which scared her half to death. Some one was moving about on the floor be low, and there were hiccoughing and chuckling and gurgling. She threw on her wrapper and descending found MT. Bowser had lighted the gas and was just about to begin bowling. He was hatless, coatless and vestless, and he was weaving about on his legs.
 What on earth ails your" she de- manded as she took in the situation.
 'tNozzin ails me-nozzin tallv' he thickly replied as he looked at her blankly. "Now, zhen, everybody shtand ashide while I knocker down more'n million pins!'
 He stood in the front window and sent the ball rolling and leaping and bounding down the parlor after the cat creating noise that woke up peo- pie across the street, and then with
