Good night"
Mrs. Bowser had heard all from the
top of the stairs. At first she thought
she would go down. but she did not
want to make 1t more painful for Mr..
Bowser. She heard him return to the
sitting room, she heard him talking to
himself, and then she heard a whoop
and a crash. He had seized that crayon
with the heroic attitude and a smash
and then he had jumped all over 1t and
blotted 1t off the face of the earth. By
and by there was silence and she went
to bed. 1t was half an hour before he
came up. aud he was still breathing
hard and carried the red in his face.
She counterfeited sleep. and with a
sigh of relief he made ready for dream
land. NJ. QUAD.
