of course. But | want to talk
about that game Of euchre ] even
tried to make you believe that an ace
would take the Joker Ha. ha. ha! As
look back and remember how mean
| was | wonder that you didn't pick
up chair and fell me to the floor. 1t
would have served me just right Is
II any wonder that when | think Of
these things | call you an angelo"
You are a dear. good man. and let's
talk about the wardrobe am to get
II | have to have four or five dresses
made
And about our old love letters" he
interrupted as he began to walk about
There isn't the least doubt that
wrote a heap of silly nonsense, but on
two or three occasions when you have
said ! did | got mad and raised row.
Yes. sir, | remember of one letter in
which ! said | had kissed the tracks
you left in cranberry swamp, and
yet when you told me of it | howled
about divorce. My dear angel, can
you ever pardon me?'
"Of course Won't you tell me how
long it takes to go TO Frisco?"
About FIVE days. | think. And
there's another thing | want to refer
to, One day ! came home and found
you on the lounge with q sick head
ache. You tried to get up and vel
come me. but you could not. You
were dreadfully sick. but did | pity
you? Did | sympathize with you?
Did | order you tea and toast and sit
beside you as decent husband
should? No! ] brutally told you that
any lady who would walk around the
block bareheaded ought to have seven
teen sick headaches. and left you to
the mercy of the cook and bounced of
to the club. Mrs. Bowser, can you
will you-ha. What's that?'
Mr.. Bowser stood stif1y erect in the
middle of the room and pointed to one
of the back windows. The cat stood
beside him and looked in the same di-
rection.
Eyes, the glass is cracked said
Mrs. Bowser. "a boy threw stone
from the alley"
Cracked. Ruined! Destroyed!
hoarsely whispered Mr. Bowser. with
his finger still pointing. And this Is
the way you run my house! This Is
the way my wife looks after my inter
estsr'
But a boy threw stone" she pro
tested.
"a boy! A stone! And you were
right here?"
Eyes. But how could help it?''
How do | help it? Are stones
thrown when am here? Fifty dol
lars worth of glass ruined through
your want of care! It's no use--no
usew
THAT pane only cost IS cents. and
I saw that | can't stand in the alley
and prevent boys from throwing"
Mrs. Bowser. we need not discuss
the matter further" he said as he
turned away. u came here with a
heart full Of love and kindness to find
my home a scene of ruin and desola-
ton. This ends our going west"
But you won't give up the trip be
cause a boy cracked pane of glass
will your
81 will. The trip is off! There will
be no Frisco for us. 1t is not the brok-
en- glass look at. but the principle of
the thing. AS a wife and hodsekeeper
you are a fat failure For anything
you might do to prevent, this house
could be torn down and carted off by
hoodlums!'
But how foolish Of
THAT will do. woman-that will do!
have given you trial after trial. and
it has always resulted the same way
ruin and desolation. have no doubt
the back fence is broken down. the
woodshed carried off and most of the
foundations of the house removed
Our money will be needed right here
for repairs. | am now going for lit
tie stroll. and should any one call for
me you can say am not at home un'
til noon tomorrow"
but how can you blame meT

evening to you-good EVENING"
