When Mr.. BOwser came up to din
Ter the other evening there was a LETT
ter awaiting him which had come in
the afternoon mail. 1t was a letter
from a postmaster up the state. He
opened 1t, and expressed a great salts
faction. He had no particulars to give
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 a little scheme on hand. BY
and by he suddenly made up his
mind to unbosom himself, and he sat
