Another tramp, sir, and he wants 10 cents, if you please,'' said the cook as she returned
 sGive it to him give him dollar a hundred dollarsv' whooped MT. Bowser as he rose up and turned about and made wild gestures through the air.
 The cook went downstairs at two jumps to hustle the tramp out, and it was at least ten long minutes before Mrs. Bowser summoned up the courage to remark:
 sEIf I were you, I'd try to get into communication with some living per- son. Green must be home at this hour"
 Have you become interested at last?"
 ITO an extent-yes. As Green is only three doors away, I shouldn't wonder if you could converse with him.
 MT. Bowser was suspicious of her good intentions, and he hadn't great confidence in himself, but he finally sat down again and tried his best to lose sight of the fact that he would be out of furnace coal in three days more and other things earthly. After three or four minutes he said:
 s'I believe I've got him, and I'm go- ing to tell him to come over and have game of checkers"
 "Haye his wife come along, too, as want to know where she got her new hat.'
 Now I am speaking to him, and he seems to be strangely moved He looks all around as if mystifed. Now he gets up and puts on his hat and overcoat. Now he is out of the gate. Now he is coming up our steps. Now he is ring ing''-
 t'It's another tramp, sir" announced the cook, land he says he hasn't had any sherry for most three weeks"
 By the bones of Andrew Jacksoni" shouted MT. Bowser as he came back to earth and followed the cook down stairs, but the tramp heard the house shake and fled away. Mrs. Bowser was laughing in spite of herself when the occult got back to the sitting room, and, after one long, cold glare at her, he went down the hall and put on his Overcoat and hat.
 Are you going out? ?" she asked.
 He did not answer. He opened the door and passed out into the night. There were Buddhism, Brahmanism and mystery all around him. He felt it in the air, and he heard 1t in the rumble of the street car. He walked slowly down to the gate in a sort of trance, and he might have been able to call up his friend Ben Hayes from that point if something hadn't happened. The tramp who had called last returned, and, standing on the other side of the street, he called out:
 ssGit on to the way the old cock is rolling up his eyes and twisting up his mouth!''
 Mir. Bowser hadn't got so far into in finite space but that he heard and un- derstood, and war whoop called Mrs.

thundered MT. Bowser as he rose up and pointed finger at her. If you take no interest in these things, you can at least treat them with common decency. You are ready to laugh and sheer at me, of course, but tell you there are things in the occult to mys- tify the wisest of us. only regret that I did not become student years ago."
 Well, what does your old friend Ben sayT' was asked after MT. Bowser had settled down to business again.
 "Wait. have found him. He recog- nizes me. He says
 ''Will you give tramp something to eat, sir?" interrupted the cook as she put her head into the room.
 ''Yes, give him the whole housew shouted Mir. BoWser as he wheeled on her and grew red clear up to his ears. He turned back to look at Mrs. Bow ser, calculating to crush her if he saw signs of merriment, but she was hold ing on to herself, and he raised his eyes to the ceiling and sought to splice the broken wire. He was at it for three or four minutes, during which interval the clock seemed hardly to tick and the cat held her breath.
 "What about BenY' Mrs. Bowser finally ventyred to ask.

BUTTE, Mont, April 6.-The de- cision of the supreme court in the Pennsylvania mining case is worth $5,- 100000 to F, A.

 Have you got collie again tonight dear?"
 Golfer he hoarsely exclaimed in re- ply as he lowered his eyes to her face. Heavens, woman, but how your com monplace language rasps my soul!'
 Yes, the word collie is commonplace enough, but if you are in pain why don't you say so and let me give you a dose of something?"
 II am not in pain. Can't you see that I am communing with the spiritual that I am seeking to rise above things earthly?''
 What book is that?''

 office in the morning was
 plain enough to MRs. Bowser at first glance as he reached home the other evening. He appeared languid and ethereal, or tried to, and when he spoke it was in dreamy way, with his eyes looking into vacancy. He evil dently wanted her to notice his de meanor and question him, but she waited for things to develop. At dinner he picked and slipped and sighed now and then as if in love, and when the meal had been finished he sat down and began reading a little book that he took from his pocket. At intervals as
