and 1t was easy to see that he had
something on his mind. He went up
stairs and came down again, and he
paced up and down the front hall and
came back to try to read again. The
cat had stretched out on the mat for a
long sleep, thinking that there would
be nothing doing, but he woke up and
took notice Of the signs and decided
that the circus would come to town
after all. Mrs. Bowser asked no
questions. She knew that full infor-
nation would come, in due time, and
come it did. He finally said:
IT might as well tell you that the
man who was leaving as you came in
was a sculptor"
EYES," she replied. IT suppose he
wanted to sell you a piece Of statu-
ary?'
"No He-he wanted to talk lit
tie business"
II see. Did he want to sell you a
new milk cow or farm or any
thingY
"Of course not. What do sculptors
know about such things? The fact is,
he wants to bring out a life sized
statue Of Achilles. and he wants me to
pose for 1t. He offered me $40 pose,
and he says will make at least $500
out Of it. All the posing is to be done

'N-nothing Mr.. Bowser, wish you

"Why in blazes should consult with
a druggist? Is this a prescription
II think he could tell you what G..
A. ]. means. I've got an idea, and per-
haps he'll corroborateo it. Just drop
in and ask for a bottle Of soda minis
and ask him if he can tell"
"I'll be hanged If I dor growled
Mr.. Bowser as he stamped up and
down. when I don't know enough to
run my own business I'll take header
into the river"
Ten minutes later, however, he made
an excuse to go out and buy some
cigars, and he went straight to the
drug store and asked for information.
The druggist asked him a few ques-
lions and then made his reply. Mrs.
Bowser knew just what would hap
pen. She and the cat went to the front
door at the end of a quarter of an
hour. They were just in time AS
Mr.. Bowser left the drug store two
men were passing. With whoop and
roar he sprang for them, and as
they turned the corner and fled for
their lives he pursued. AS they pass
ed his house they were gaining lit
tie, but he was buckling down to his
work and had his jaw set. Nothing
but red blood would console him. The
druggist had told him that G.. A. j.
stood for Great American Jackass.

Bowser Deceived
Sculptor Selects Him as Model For Well Known
Character but 1t Didn't Turn Out He
Expected 1t Was Going To.

"My dear, let me tell you some
thing. You have got Achilles and Her
cules mixed up. Hercules represents
strength"
Never! It's just the other way. By
thunder, but
Mrs. Bowser walked over to the book
case and took down volume of the
encyclopedia and read to him:
Achilles, the hero of Homer's Had
was the son of King Peleus and Thetis
a sea goddess, belonging to line
descended from Jove. We are told that
he was dipped in the river Styx by bis
mother and was thus made invulner-
able, except in the heel, by which he
was held during the process. Soon aft.
er the fall Of Hector, Achilles made q
contract of marriage with Polyxena
the daughter of the Trojan king, but
was slain by her brother Paris in the
temple of Apollo, where the marriage
should have been celebrated. Accord
ing to other accounts, he was slain by
Apollo, who assumed the likeness of
Paris as a disguise. His ashes were
placed in an urn with those of his
friend Patroclus and were buried on
the promontory Of Sigeum. where, after
the fall Of Troy, the Princess POlyxena,
who had been made a prisoner, was Of
fered as propitiatory sacrifice
"Do you find anything in that, Mr..
Bowser, to show that Achilles repre-
scented strength?'' she asked as she
handed him the book.
He took 1t from her hands, and,
walking to back window, he raised
the sash and flung 1t out. Then he
turned and said:
"If I am not here In the morning
you need not be surprised. If I've got
to be a fool I'd better 60 and jump
into the river"
"Of course you are no fool" she re-
piled. ''You have simply got two
names mixed. I've got an idea, If you
won't get mad about It, that the
sculptor came here to play a joke on
YOU"
"Play a joke on me-or Bowser2
Never in this worIdv'
"Do you know that he is a sculp-
tor?'
''Of course I do"
"How do you know it?''
"Because-because-h
you do not know He simply said
he was. I wouldn't believe it unless
saw him at work. Just what did he
say to your"
woman, are you trying to coddle
me as if / were an infantT" shouted
the red faced Mr.. Bowser.
II merely said thought the man
was playing some sort Of game. If
you want to put Achilles in the place
of Hercules, l have nc objection. Did
the man give you his professional
card 2"
"No, but he gave me this memo
randum. 1t says am to pose as the
G. A. ]. I can figure out that G. A.
means Great Achilles, and / suppose
that J. relates to Jove In some way.
What are you looking so red in the
face about?'

don't think this VOW had anything to
do with the result. I think my dog at

clared the victor after seventeen min

heather seemed to have a claim on me
for $3.50.
And still did not depart. l wanted
to go, but the indefatigable mayor
somehow got it into his head that my
PAGER had gait on him. He looked
around and found man who thought
different, and boss race was arranged
for, with stakes at, $40 side. My
conscience at first cried out agin it.

counted him out some thirty odd dol

weapon that no enemy could overcome.
He smiled and replied that he who was
without guile was also without fear,
and, havin' counted the greenbacks
after me and found the sum correct, he
waived me adieu, and we separated.
Later on I discovered that In some
way had given him the per cent be-

in the evening, an hour at time.
What do you think of the idea?"
The cat crept under the lounge and
gurgled and gasped, but Mrs. Bowser
controlled her feelings and presently
asked:
Ibid he explain who Achilles was"
"Of course not. Do you think he
wanted to insult me?"
''Then you know, do your
know? Know? Do / know a street
car from an ice wagon? l might as
well ask if you know John L. Sulli-
van from the great Napoleon. If that
is the tone you are going to take, you

Now don't get veXed," she soothing
ly replied. "Never having heard you
mention the name Of Achilles, didn't
know that you were posted. Why did
the sculptor select you to pose for the
character"
"On account Of my height, build and
the size Of my arms and legs, as repre-
senting strength. The figure has got
to have the appearance of strong
man, you know"
II don't agree with you on that point
Nothing in history tells us that Achilles
was overmuscular.
"Whatv' shouted Mr.. Bowser as he
jumped to his feet. "You had better

that Achilles represents strength. Ev-
