 He growled around for time and said something about passing the even ing in a saloon, but finally dressed himself and departed, saying that he might not be back for month. That was at o'clock in the evening. The next thing he knew Mrs. Bowser was waking him up, and it was 8 o'clock next morning. He got up slowly out of bed, yawning and stretching, and ob- served:

 Yes" replied Mrs. Bowser with out raising her eyes.
 ''I suppose you are tickled half to death all over that little joke you came on me last night?' he continued.
 Joke? do not know what you mean.''
 T can appreciate fun as well as the next person, but it mustn't be carried too far-not too far, Mrs. Bowser. I went down to the club last night for the first time in three months. You were put out at my going. I didn't get home until half past 10 o'clock, and as'-

His indignation was so great that he trembled from head to foot at every step. The door of the place was open and Father Beret was eating a frugal meal of scenes and sour wine (of his ow7 make, he said), which he hospitably begged to share with his visitor.

 You did, and when I went down you were sitting on the steps with your arm around one of the posts. I had considerable trouble to induce you to come in.'
