A big truck had driven up and was
backing to the curb. On it was a
bungalow. At least. Mrs. Bowser took
It for one and exclaimed:
"Why, We are not going camping in
the winter, are we"
"Don't you know what 1t is?"
"a bungalow, or something Of that
sort. Shall you set it up in the back
yardT
Hardly" laughed Mr.. Bowser.
"Come out and take look at It."
There were three men with the
truck. and by the time Mrs. Bowser
reached the gate a dozen more and a
score of children had gathered. They
were saying to each other that 1t was

Before she could answer the boss

this thing into the yard? l have just
measured, and it won't pass through
the gate by two feet"
'"Then it must be lifted over the

"All right, but you'll have to hire
three more men to help lift, and If
your fence breaks down you can't

| Mrs. BoWser made her eScaDe into
the house and sank down In a chair
and burst into tears. Mr.. Bowser had
tried to be good, but he had made a
mess of it. Outside she could hear
teams and autos stopping and the
crowd increasing and the truckmen
swearing.
