But he failed to keep his word. The
cards still continued to run to Mrs.
Bowser, and the result was that she
was a winner again. The last trick
was taken with an ace, and Mr.. Bow
ser grabbed the cards and shouted:

"And played an ace"

"He's an authority on games, as ev-

I say a king takes an ace every time,
and can go out and find you fifty
men to say SO. asked you to have q
few friendly games Of euchre with me,
and what do you do the very first
thing? You stack the cards on me-"
mir. Bowserw
,"Oh, you can pretend innocence, but
/ know all about it. On the very first
hand out you stole trick from me
and on the second game you cheated
like blazes. Yes, you did, and now you
have the cheek to tell me that an ace
takes king"
"Of course it does"
what? You still stick to it, By
the Lord Harry, woman, but I'll sc
out and get testimony to mash you
fatter than a pancake, and when !
have mashed you will see you on the
train for your mother's!'
"How silly to run out and let folks
know that we can't agree on game
of cards!'' she replied.
"Silly or not, I'm going, and you sit
right here and I'll bring in whole
house full Of witnesses. Where in
blazes is that old yaller eyed cat?"
"In the back yard, maybe"
"And it's a blamed good thing for
him that he is. Don't try to sneak

Mr.. Bowser called the butcher a liar
and passed on to the druggist. The
man Of bottles was busy, but he found
time to whisper in reply:
ASK Mrs. Bowser. She knows more
about cards than you can ever learn
in all your born days!"
The shoemaker and the plumber told
him about the same, and he gave it up
and started for home In front Of his
house he met pedestrian, and as a
last hope he accosted him.
Are you drunk or fool to ask such
a question as that" exclaimed the
stranger.

The next instant Mr. Bowser tackled
