Mrs. Pickly, who had settled into
chair with some sewing, and was
Just then busily engaged. failed to
supply her usual pithy comment. so
the philosopher continued:

les tn beauty Of my plan. No ex-

"Er else you'll be dead as a door

or piece Of thread.
well, IN go long SOS to hear your
last words" said Mrs. Pickly.
The philosopher had worked q
couple Of minutes over the wires
when, attaching. his pincers, he
started to make a splice.
OUGHT" he exclaimed suddenly.
"Ouch!" taking hold with both hands,
and then almost tying himself into q
bowknot.
well, leggo." advised Mrs. Pickly,
dropping her work and coming to the
rescue. Lego"
ouch! l can't!" howled Mr.. Pickly.
Mrs. Pickly, with rare presence Of
mind, seized a broom and, hitting the
pIncers a sharp clip, broke the con-
nections and released the philosopher.
There, goosle," she exclaimed as
he vigorously rubbed the palms Of his
hands upon the seat of his trousers,
Il hope you had 1ectric bath enough

A few moments Of work under more
favorable conditions, and Mr.. Pickly's
arrangements were completed. He
tossed the two sponges attached to
the ends of the wires into the tub
full of water. and then, turning to
Mrs. Pickly with a low bow, ex-
claimed:

'T'n jes' show you; then wen see

to undo his packages.
"There!" he exclaimed triumphant
ly, as the opening Of one disclosed q
couple Of large bath sponges, and
from the other he brought forth 20 or
80 feet Of insulated wire.
