he had found was just the reverse.
The British army made him blink; 1t

to admire In amaze.
"And all this discovery leads to a
certain shyness-something which is
new to Yankee temperament. My two

Tells 1t
Bowser Goes Out 20
Hunt the Chestnut
BY M. QUAD.

per Syndicate)


For several days / have observed
spirit of restlessness about Mr.. Bow
ser, and had made up my mind that
he was longing for a trip out into the
country. In his conversations he spoke
OF the chestnuts and acorns; he men
toned the rabbit; he spoke Of the fall
apple, and so 1 knew that he would
take a day off soon and refresh his
boyhood memories.
Mr.. Bowser came down to break
fast one morning prepared for a jaunt
and he said to me:
II think / will take little trip out
into the country today. want to
saunter around and see farm scenes.
] want to pick up the great brown
chestnuts under the trees. 1 want to
pick the golden pippin right off the
apple tree. want to buy a quart of
buttermilk of some farmer and drink
1t down without stopping to breathe.
It seems as If it would almost make me
over to spend the day out in the coun-
try"
There's nothing to hinder you from
going" 1 replied. 'In fact, want you

apples?"
''You bet your life, and don't for
get to let me take basket along.
Maybe will gather some mushrooms,
also. At any rate, will make day
of it and come home feeling as frisky
as a darling colt"
"You will telephone If anything hap
pens to you? Most of the farmers
have telephones"
"Oh, nothing will happen to tele-
phone about. 1t will be a very quiet
day with me-"
In half an hour Mr.. Bowser was
off, carrying market basket on his
arm. He was as pleased as a boy
on his way to a circus.
1t was about two o'clock in the after
noon when the telephone rang me up
and strange voice asked:
as this Mrs. Bowser?"
EYES,"
Mrs. Samuel Bowser?"
"Yes, that is correct. Who are you,
please?"
my name is Ballard, and I'm a
farmer about ten miles from the city
on the old Boston road. Can't you
take the trolley car, which runs right
by my door, and come out here?"
"But why should come out there?"
asked, chill Of fear coming over
me.
Because there's a short, fat, bald
headed man here who says he's Sam
uel Bowser, your husband. He isn't
dead, so you needn't be alarmed. He
has simply met with an incident and
maybe you will have to stay for day
or two, but I'll make it as pleasant as
/ can. Mr.. Bowser sent you his love
and thinks you'd better come out"
"Do you mean that an accident has
happened to Mr.. Bowser?" asked.
swell, you might call 1t an accident,
but call 1t an incident. An accident
is where you cut your foot with the
ak, but Mr.. Bowser hasn't cut his foot.
An accident is when you fall out OF a
tree and break both legs, and Mr.. Bow
ser has had no fall and no broken
legs. You had better put on your bon
net and come out"
I tried hard to get the farmer to tell
me just what had happened, but he
seemed to have good reasons for hold
ing back the truth. This increased my
fears, of course, and soon got ready
for trip. All the way out to Farmer
Billiards. / was so pale and nervous
that all the passengers on the car no

see what a beauty he was. The only
thing to do was to apply things to
take out the poison and reduce the
swellings, and to help the farmer as
1 could until his wife got back. stay
ed there all that night and most of
the next day, and, when left for
home, Mr.. Bowser could partly open
one eye and utter grunts through his
swollen lips. 1t was four days before
he came home, and then several pas
sengers on the car asked him If tree
had fallen all over him. He didn't say
much when he reached the house. ALI
he did say was:
"Mrs. Bowser, If this thing occurs
again will see my lawyer and you
will see yours, and we will arrange
for quiet divorce. We have reached
the dead line at lastl"
I realized that Mr.. Bowser must
blame someone beside himself, and
I didn't 'sass" back single word.

WIN WAR IN KITCHEN
New Slogan of the People of
Great Britain.
Bones Saved by the Housewives Are
Turned Into Munitions Of
War.

London-Save that old bone; it may
kill German.
This is the thought that flashes
through the mind of the English house
wife these days following an appeal
made to her to conserve all the old
bones from the kitchen, that they may
be used in the manufacture of glycer-
in and then incorporated into bombs
and shells for the army in France.
The movement has the approval Of the
minister of munitions.
The appeal to the housewife says
that bones will produce grease, which
yields glycerin for explosives; glue
for the making of airplanes and bone
meal, fertilizer which increases food
crops and thus aids in the battle
against the German submarines.
For the bones which were formerly
thrown away or burned the housewife
will receive one cent a pound from
her butcher or margarine dealer, who
in turn will receive profit of one cent
pound in turning them over to the
general collector, to whom a fair prof
it also is allowed.
From the enthusiastic response from
the women of England 1t begins TO
look as if the plan to "Wln the war In
the kitchen" will prove popular with
those unable to go to the front or
otherwise offer their services to the
government.

hole where they come in and go out.
Then you can carry the hive between

was not afraid of bees, but he had
always loved them and they seemed
to love him. He was very anxious
to help me, and, Of course, 1 was
willing he should. We had to pass
