BOWSER'S CRUSADE.
He Had just Got Started When He
Was Wrecked.

Mrs. Bowser had q hope all day
long that she could coax Mr.. Bowser
into taking her UP to the theater in
the evening but the hope was dis
PEELED when she stood on the steps
and watched him get off the car. He
certainly had a crouch on. One could
tell it by the way he bumped over and
dragged his feet.
Has there been an accident?" she
asked as he came up the steps with a
sour look on his face.
What do I know about accidents ?"
he demanded.
Why. l thought-thought-
yes. you are always thinking
But you look worried.
So would you If you had suffered

You shall not be disturbed, and I'll

It's probably neuralg ia."
Mr.. Bowser threw himself down on
the lounge with a grOan and a grunt.
and Mrs BoWser heated the salt and
applied it. The cook handled her pots
and pans very carefully, the cat slept,

street. So until about 9 o'clock. Mrs.
Bowser was returning heartfelt thanks

by accident that he stopped in front

But the man didn't go on. He had
come to stay, as it were. With voice
which would have done credit to a bull
he rOared again and again. and as
Mrs. Bowser's heart grew heavy and
the cat felt her pulses Jingle. Mr..

and said:

He was slammed and banged and chug-
