BY WALTER A. SINCLAIR.

Now that you have to go back to the
city I'm sorry your vacation is over" said
Friend Wife. But suppose a summer
widowers life is not all mourning"
They see only wee hours of morning."
replied the Tired Business Man. But con-
slider the humane side of it. If no summer
widowers remained in town who would
feed the 'kitties? However don't imagine
because you hear some of them say I'll

burbank their widower's weeds onto the
grapevine, hoping to produce the morning

Hes a greatly overabused institution,
the summer widower No one would think
of giving him a word of sympathy in his
bere avement and everybody has the idea
that his life is one long round of rounds.
He is pictured as being without any re-
straints, a gay bird invariably accompany

is the restraints on married man that
make the game of squaring himself at

1t was an awful moment. To add to the
horror of the situation there is a big hole
in one OF the shoulders OF that kmono that
l never remember to mend. The only
thing to do was to make a dash for the
other end of the porch and get in the
long window that is there. There was a
chance that he would not see me as l ran
by. 1 got to the window all right, but IT
was closed and would not go up. l aged in

made as little noise as possible, but tore
my kimono on a nail and left a piece OF TIN
silk there and dropped a slipper. Luckily
he didn't hear anything. He was sitting
down With his back turned toward me,
and didn't even turn his head. 1 didn't
dare stop to pick up the slipper. Luckily It
was black, and didn't show much and
was also two sizes too small for me, az 1t

upstairs and got dressed as quickly as
possible, to dispell any suspicious he
might have harbored. But he evidently

Blakely hangs a lantern at each end of his barn during the night. A few nights ago he was disturbed by noise among his stock in the barnyard, and saw a strange looking beast by the light of one of the Ian
