ANNUAL TIME OF TROUBLE
HousecIeanins Date May Change, but
Its Consequences Can by No
Means Be Avoided.

housekeeping is one OF the spring
festivals that has no fixed date, being
movable on the domestic calendar. 1t
ls observed in many places following
the close of the Lenten season, when
h first crocus has bloomed it's well
come to the returning birds, When the
grass shows green, the sun mounts
higher each day and the buds are
pulled up with ambition to cIothe tree
and shrub in summer garb.
It's close at hand, may be celebrated
now as each domestic circle elects,
and may be expected to show many of
the characteristics of the olden days.
Men should not grumble when the fes-
tival is in progress. They get the cas-
lest part. They may have difficulty in
locating what they want, but they are
in it only part of the time; the home
folks are there all the time. 1t is one
ime of the ear when the men folks
ought to smile.-Ohio State Journal.

about the fire and talk it all over.

CHAPTER XII.

XII.
Allan, lying at the window of the
sunny bedroom, and wondering if
they had been having springs like this
all the time he had lived in the city,
heard a scuffle outside the door. His
wife's voice inquired ~breathlessly OF
Wallis, Can Mr.. Allan-see me?
|. Oh, gracious-don't, Foxy, you
little black gargoyle! Open the door,
or-shut it-quick, Wallis!"
But the door, owing to circum-
stances over which nobody but the
black dog had any control, flew VIC
lently open here, and Allan had a fly
ing vision Of his wife, flushed, laugh
ing, and badly mussed, being railroad
ed across the room by a prancingly
exuberant French bull at the n
Of a leash.
"He's-he's a cheerful dog" painted
Phyllis, trying to bring Foxy to an
! cher near Allan, land I don't think
he knows how to keep still long
enough to pose across your feet-he
wouldn't become them anyhow-he's
a real man-dog, Allan, o an interior
decoration. . Oh, Wallis, he
has Mr.. Allan's super! Foxy, you
little fraud! Did him want a drink,
angel-puppy?"
Ibid you get him for me. Phyllis %
asked Allan when the tumult and the
shouting had died, and the %caracoling
Foxy had buried his hideous little
! black rsnsy-tece e. g costly Relleek
dish Of water.
YES" gasped Phyllis from her IA
vorite seal, the floor; 'tbut you need
MT keep him unless you want to. I
can keep him where you'll never see
him-can't I honey-dog-gums? Only

Allan threw his picturesque head
back on the cushions. and laughed
and laughed.
Cheerful he said] Most as
suredlyl Why-thank you. ever so
much, Phyllis. You're an awfully
thoughtful girl I always did like

its muzzle from the water, made a
dripping dash to the couch, and
scrambled up over Allan as II they
had owned each other since birth
Never was a dog less weighed down

with his most useful hand, and asked
with interest. 'Why on earth die
they call a French bull Foxy?"
"Yes. sir" said Wallis. Il under
stand, sir. that he was the most &C.
tive and playful Of the litter. and
chewed up all his brothers ears, sir
And the kennel people thought !
was SO clever that they called hin
Foxy"
.Tne beat-tempered dog in the lit:
teri" cried Phyllis. bursting into help
less laughter from the floor.
