 "Thls ought to stop the ache in . minute or two" said Mrs. Bowser as she returned with the steaming whiAky and held it to his lips,
 Mir. Bowser got mouthful and lay down and closed his eyes. He kept them closed so long that she began to wonder If his soul had taken It's. flight. but there was no occasion for a scare. Mir. Bowser was only thinking.
 He was thinking of how he had de liberately sat in draft for half am hour the day previous. but how he would lay all his pain and suffering to Mrs. Bowser
 He would say that 1t was his getting up in the night at her instance to see If burglars were in the house.
 He would charge her with delib- crate intent to wipe him of the face of the earth and benefit by his life in- surance
 She hadn't exactly tried to poison him, but from thence on he would ,ad- dress her as Lucrezia Borgia.
 He was thinking up other schemes to get even when some of the whisky treacherously trckled down hls throat and choked him and brought cough and a splutter Then he sat up and choked and gasped and gurgled and got red in the face. and all that Mrs. Bowser could say to soothe him was:
 "Dear, l am really afraid that you will have to have that tooth out"
 "The doctorr he shouted as he mo toned to the telephone.
 But the doctor can't help you"

 But it's only the toothache." pro. tested Mrs. Bowser, and If you would let me try bag of hot ashes'-
 "Only the toothacher howled Mir. Bowser as he jumped up and down. "Only! Only. Great heavens. hear the woman talk"
 twill you let me look at the toothY' she asked as he climbed back on the lounge '1f 1t is hollow can put some cotton in"
 No reply.
 ''lf its a loose tooth 1t should be drawn. You can't suffer this way, you know"
 Awful silence. broken at last by q chuckle from the cat as he crawled un- der the piano.
 Then groans from Mir Bowser to show that the end was near.
 Then more groans. tapering on into mournful sighs 10 show that he hated to leave this world just as the price of ice was becoming cheaper
 Mrs. Bowser was about to prepare the bag of hot ashes. whether or no when the family doctor came driving up on the gallop. The door was no sooner opened to him than he, rushed in and up to Mir Bowser and asked what was the matter
 Mir. Bowser opened his mouth and pointed and groaned The doctor bent down. inserted his finger and thumb and three seconds later held up tooth and exclaimed:
