Mr.. Barnes said he'd go home with
him. hut Mr.. Bowser Glared at him
and made threatening gestures. Then
Mr.. Bowser said he was sorry about
the crash and the collision. and asked
how it happened. but Mr.. Barnes
waved him aside and left the Hall
alone There were fourteen different
aches in his hack. and his head seemed
to be four times too large and full of
wheels, but he wouldn't take a hack.
1t was a n hour before he reached home.
Mrs Bowser was still up, and she met
him AT the door. One look at him told
the story.

me that I might better fall in love with
the old apple woman at the Waterloo

common sense has TO let go. For a week
watched all the newspapers. but the
ring was not advertised. This seemed
to prove to me that the owner was either
rich and Indifferent to her loss, or that
for some reason the loss had not yet
been discovered. Romance made me
anxious, and therefore went to the
expense Of advertising in FIVE different
papers. 1 simply stated that a diamond
ring had been found on railroad train

dence that the lapse Of thirty years would
make no difference in his curley-kewing

more liberal every minute as he jour-

yet halfway to the park when he giee-
fully and confidentially observed:

its origin in the walls of the wooden

to the ~storehouse, the stock contained

can not be learned until an inventory
is taken.
The fire department was on the job
