WItu COW or our oNh NI "N1'" t live ten years longer
 And he probably got $lo Of the money"
 "Mrs. Rowser. don't go too far.' eau toned MT. BoWscr as he flushed up "No Twin. man or woman can ifhpheh the honesty of Professor Duggan IL was his friendship for me that brought him so the office. He IS not man 10 stand by and see a friend of his SWal- low microbes by the cart load,
 Mrs. BoWscr had nothing to say in re- ply. and after gazing at the COW Shed from a back window for two or three minutes Mir. Bowser continued:
 "Of course was chiefly actuated by the question of health, but there Is an- other side to it. What do.you suppose our milk and butter have cost LIS the last year-mlk and butter full of bac- teria and microbes"
 "I have no interest in the matter. You have bought cow and are going to do great things with her.
 He glared at her. but hung on 10 him. self. He wanted to straighten the COW question out before picking up any side Issues
 Save Money and Health.
 "I have figured it up, and we shall save something like 6 hundred dollars n year--not microbe, net bacteriuin, not germ, and a clean saving of hundred dollars! l don't see why you need feel put out about it. Name me man who could have done q better thing all around"
 'IIow can we make butter out of two or three quarts of milk dayI de- manded Mrs Rowser as she arose.
 1.-TWO or three quarts of milk day. Why. woman, your head must have got screwed on the wrong way. There will be all of ten quarts at milking. We shall use about two quarts day, and the rest will go into butter and cheese. Yes, forgot about the cheese. We will make our own and have 1t every day"
 "You can't squeeze four quarts day out of that bundle of bones, and there won't be cream enough for the cat. M DOW ScI, Noll lltlNC btNt lioe'''Ne again done up made a guy of. That COW is go old that she has both front feet in the grave
 "Wonas.. l deny itr' he shouted at the top of his voice. breaking loose at last. "I wanted q COW to save both our lives and to make profit of $100 a year. Because you didn't think of 1t first you are mad and jealous. It won't do you any good The COW has been bought and paid for Here she will remain. If you don't want any of the milk, butter and cheese, you can eat raw turnlps.'
 Settled Mrs. Bowser.
 That settled Mrs. BowSer. They went down to dinner at the ringing of the bell, but neither spoke during the meal. When 1t was ended Mir. Bowser went upstairs and slipped on an old coat, and then, coming down, he took tin pail from the kitchen and went out to milk the new COW. She was eX= pecting him. He fetched a pail of wa ter and some hay from barn across the alley, and before proceeding to milk he looked her over She looked old and decrepit. She looked mourn full and disconsoate The thought came stealing OCT him that he had been done up, but he shut his lips and forced 1t back. Never in this living world would he admit the fact to Mrs. Bow ser after what she had said.
 By and by Mr. Bowscr sat down to milk. He sat down on the wrong side, but in this case it made no difference There was less than q pint of milk 1n the udder and the COW had made up her mind not to part with that without struggle As tie milker began to hunt for milk the animal drew a long breath and threw all her strength into one kick. and as Mir. Bowser went over backward she took advantage of "the open door" and got Into the alley and disappeared.
 Scene lu the Shed.
 After three quarters of an hour had passed Mrs. Rowser strolled across the back yard to sec what had happened.
 The COW shed was as quiet as grave She looked in to find the COW gone and Mr. Bowser lying there as if sweetl sleeping The hostler from the barn joined her, and after a look he said:
 .He was kicked ill the stomach, ma'am. and is waiting to get his sec ond wind Shall run after the COW :"
 No If she returns chase her away"
 Ten minutes later. as the camphor bottle was held to Mr Bowsers nose, he opened his eyes and faintly inqulr- ed where he was
 Tn your own milkery and cheesery and safe from germs and microbes and bacteria, softly replied Mrs. BowSer, and he heaved q great sigh of content ment as he dropped his head back on the hay. Nj QUAD.
