Not in the leest," replied Mrs
Bowser, :As you sey. you hasn't
been there for long time"
"There may be littls speaking,
some prominent man from Chira-
go is 10 be there end it is quite
likely I'll bs called upon. If
So"
"You will decline of coursev
Why should 1 decline ?"
Because the only speech you
have is something about the labor
question. and that won't be ex
actIy the thing to get off at cldb
You will respectfully decline of
course. on account of a sore
throat"
That's your way of encouraging
a husbandr exclaimed Mr.. Bow
ser. as he turned on her. "If you
heard that 1 got up and made the
speech of the evening you'd be
mad enough to explode. Only one
speech2 You know I've got a
dozen. Even if 1 hadn't any 1
could get up and scquit myself
with credit"
He growled around for a time
and said something about passing
the evening in saloon, but finally
dressed himself and departed, say
ing that he might not be back for
a month. That was at O'Clock in
the evening. The next thing he
knew Mrs. Bowser was waking
him up and it was O'Clock the
next morning. He got slowly out
of bed yawning and stretching and
observed:

an awful storm by tomorrow. 1

morning and 1 ache as if I was
coming down with rheumatism"
"Y-e-s." replied Mrs Bowser.
without raising her eyes.
Il suppose you are tickled half
to death all over that little joke

continued.
"JokeP 1 do not know what
you mean?"
II can appreciate fun as we'll as
the next person. but it mustn't be
carried too far-not too far, Mrs
Bowser. 1 went down to the club

three months. You were put out

until 10:l0 o'clock, and as"
"It was exactly l O'Clock, Mr..
Bowser."
"Neyerl 1 looked at my watch
as opened the front door. AS II
was saying. the result was that I
slept unusually sound. and you
took advantage of the circumstance
to indulge in some funny bust
ness."
"Mr Bowser, when heard you
fall against the front door the bells
were just striking one"
"What, whatI 1 fall against
the front door?"
You did, and when went
down you we're sitting on the steps
with your arms against the railing.
/ had considerable trouble to in
duce you to come in"
"Mrs. Bowser. have you gone
crazy ?" shouted Mr.. Bowser, as he
stood up and gasped and swallowed
and turned red and glared at her.
''No. dear"
"Then you intend to insult me!
If 1 came home at l o'clock and
fell against the door. and you
found me hugging the railing. aud
Ihad to be cosxed into the house,
the inference is plain"
"Yes. your condition last night
accounts for your depressed spirits

clear weather for the n, xt three or
four days TO come"
