out, and Mrs. Bowser had learned to
repress her curiosity.
Half an hour after they had gone
upstairs Mr.. Bowser began pacing
the floor, as he always does when he
has got little scheme on hand. BY
and by he suddenly made up his
mind to unbosom himself, and he sat
down and drew the letter from his
pocket and said:
"Mrs. Bowser l hold fortune in
my hand"
HAS some one died and left you a
legacy?" she queried with a smile.
"You know that paper is made of
woodpulp?"
II do"
"They take wood and soften 1t up
in some way so as to make pulp
of it. You follow me, don't your"

THE papermakers have tried in

woodpulp. They have even ground
up old hats. They can make wrap

Cats Blamed for Fires.

In spite of the fact that many peo-
pie are fond of cats, number of
charges are made against this unre-
sponsive domestic animal. 1t has been
pointed out that they are carriers OF
disease germs and enemies Of bird life,
in addition to the old allegation that
they draw the breath Of infants from
the latter's lungs.
A new count has been added to the
indictment. Cats may have been re
sponsible for fires supposed to be in
