up in New Hampshire one summer
who had the floor worship fetch to a
really abnormal degree The last thing
she did every night after turning the
cat out and locking the windows was
to scrub the kitchen floor, the idea be-

down in the night the neighbors should
not be able to find any spots to convict
her of untidiness.
One night it happened that her hus-

getting that he had not come i'll, She
manicured the floor. She had scarcely
finished when he was heard at the
kitchen steps. He couldn't come in by
the front door because that was sealed
to keep out dust, and his wife simply
wasn't going to have him tracking over
her clean floor, so she made him sleep
in the barn. He had plenty of clean
hay to sleep on, and he was perfectly
comfortable.
