on the fence and nailed it over stable
door, and the incident was clOsed-all
but the damage to Mr.. Bowser's feel
ings. He had set out to beautify the
street, and the people wouldn't have
it. He wanted a villa, but the public
wouldn't stand for it. He wanted to
do some art work that should live after
him, and he had been abused as II he
had stolen q whole flock Of sheep.

Hello, old man. is the villain at

what do you mean, sir?" demanded
Mr.. Bowser.
II want to wiring his neck for him
for setting up barber shop on this
street"
Mr.. Bowser fastened down the lad
der, but the man moved on, but an
other man replaced him, and they kept
coming and halting until thirty people
were gathered in front Of the house.
They took Mr.. Bowser for a house
painter, and he had to listen to such
remarks as:
"Why, the man must be fooll"
what donkey lives here, any
how?"
"Is it going to be a barber shop
or Coney Island popcorn foun-

If Mrs. Bowser had not had sweet
| temper she would have spent the rest
| Of the afternoon in kicking over
chairs and discharging the cook. Mr..
| Bowser hadn't said q word about re-
painting the house. He had preserved
the strictest secrecy about the enter
prise. The house did not need re-
painting and the idea of having him
daubing around for week or two was
unbearable. She made no outright
demonstrations, however, but that eve
ming would bring the talk.
Mr.. Bowser came home at the usual
time and took look into the side
yard before entering the house. he
realized that Mrs. Bowser had seen
| the outfit and must suspect his evil
design, but he entered the house with
q flourish and did a lot of talking IN
the next five minutes. In fact, he did
all the talking during the dinner and
| a great deal more than was neces-
sary, He was putting the explana-
ton off as long as possible, but 1t had
to come when they reached the fam
lily room.
! "Now, then" said Mrs. Bowser, as
she Strengthened up and set her jaw,
"why did you have those men bring
all the things this afternoon|
"Why, my DEAR" said Mr.. Bowser,
in an oily voice, II am going to do
little painting. Didn't l speak about
it a week or so ago? This is glorious
weather for outside painting and ]
| am anxious to be at the work"
| "Mr. Bowser, this house does not
need any paint on it," firmly replied
Mrs. Bowser.
"You may not think so, but thou
sands Of other people do. 1 am al
most ashamed to turn at the gate
| and look at 1t. Besides. l have an
other object in view. How long have
we lived in this houseT
"About fifteen years" was the reply
"And 1t has been Of the same color
ever since. The house is red brick
and the woodwork painted white
That's the way most of the houses
on the block are. There is dread
full monotony about it. I had almost
as soon walk through cemetery as
along this block"
"Then your object Is to change the
color?" queried Mrs. Bowser.
"Tbere shall be complete change
nv dear. You won't know the place
when I get through with it. You
know what villa is, don't you
Well. there Is not villa within hall
a mile of us. l am going to make one
of our house"
"Are you going to get bunch Of
carpenters up here to tear this house
all to pieces?" was demanded.
"Oh. no, no. There will be no car
penters and there will be no othe
painters beside myself. l shall make
a villa of it by the way I paint i
and thousands Of people will stop t.
admire"
