Of not paying the painter $5, he
lookeds forward to the next night
The first thing he did was to buy
another bottle of turpentine, thereby
reducing the amount saved to 1910.
1t was easy going the next night,
except that he put too much turpen-
tine in the paint, and, as it was
thinner, it flowed more freely to
various parts of the room. The
color was superb, though. 1t just
matched the other shelves. Henri
eta was delighted, although some
what skeptical about the overflow on
the floor and the vagrant daubs on
the wall. "a little turpentine will
fix that up after we have put on the
last coat" said Mr.. Husband reas-
suringly.
The last coat was applied the
third night and the job pronounced
complete, albeit there were places on
the shelves where the paint looked a
little lumpy "a little sandpaper
will remove those Jumps" said Mr.
Husband. "Then it will be hunky-
dory.' The sandpaper cost only 10
cents. The gloves were ruined. He
rated them as having been worth
about 81. Sc, he declared, about
$1.90 was saved, anyway.
The next night, although he had
blisters on his thumb and forehnger
from holding the brush too tightly,
and although the paint had some
how penetrated the blisters, Mr..
Husband, with bottle of turpentine
and a rag, proceeded to remove the
paint from the polished floor. When
he got through he found he had re-
moved not only the superfuous paint
but also the wax polish and walnut
stain as we'll. The floor looked as
though it were breaking out with the
yellow fever.
That won't do" mused Henrietta
"I'll tell you what we'll do," said
Mr.. Husband, Well get that
painter up TO look at the floor. 1t
needs to be repolished, anyway"
The next night the painter went
up. He rubbed his hand over the
floor in ar experts deprecating way

Back again from the paint shop
with a bottle of shellac, he reduced
his total saved by 20 cents, making
it $3.50. He had not progressed far
when he discovered he was spatter-
ing the paint over the floor and
onto one Of the walls. It's rc-
markable how paint will distribute
itself. A little puddle Of it had COL

the newspapers didn't reach. Also

humor, the bravado and later the
agony of the confused, half-crazed

But however he achieved it, the gen

performance of heroic stature.

among the league members to de-

ten. As the voting proceeded it was
seen that Charles S. Gilpin was UP

The directors of the league made
a hasty and thoughtless move. They
announced that even if Gilpin should
be among the ten receiving the high
