The flro flickered and danced on the
hearth.
The crickets were sinking their'
songs and getting ready for n joyous j
winter.
The iceman had collected his last !
bill and departed. He was full of hope]
and cheer, for he had made 200 per
cent profit.
Outside the nightingale warbled his
song, but it was no cheap warble. In j
a day or two he would present a bill
of $25.
The strikers were on a strike again,
and tlie police were patting them on
the back.
All seemed Joyous at the home of
the Bowsers, but yet his eyes were
moist, as he turned to Mrs. Bowser
and said:
"My dear, I saw a sight this after
noon that called for all my senti
ment."
“Was It a sick horse?” she asked.
"No, ma’am, it was no sick hor<e!
1 was in court as a juror. There was
a man arraigned before us for beating
bis wife. He was six feet high and
weighed two hundred pounds. She
was five feet high and weighed about
ninety. She appeared in court against
him. and it was a terrible sight. Her
nose was broken, and she had lost all
her front teeth, and In addition to that
her brute of a husband had blacked
both her eyes. Sh» gave tier tostimonj
in a low, sweet voice. He bad come
home half-drunk, and because supper
was not ready, and she bad no money
to buy anything, Iip knocked her down
and gave her a heating. His excuse
was that he could find no work at
twelve dollars a day. I tell you. ray
dear, the jury made short work of
him, Flo was found guilty and fin
judge gave him six months in jail."
"He ought to have five years!” said
Mrs. Bowser.
"Yes be certainly had. It stirred
me to the very heart to look at that
little woman. Suppose you bad mar
ried such a man? Suppose I was a
great, big brute, and should break
your nose with one blow of my list?”
"I can't suppose it.” replied Mrs.
Bowser.
"I break your nose—then 1 knnc!
ofit your teeth—then I black your
eyes. You beg for mercy, but I hnvi
no mercy in m.v heart. I hammer you
until the neighbors and police arrive.
Just suppose 1 was such a man as
that."
"But you are not, and so we won’t
suppose."
"No, we won’t suppose. I couldn’t
do It, Mrs. Bowser—I just couldn’t do
It! 1 couldn’t break your nose and
knock out your teeth even if you were
very saucy to me. I should come
home and, tf supper wasn’t ready, 1
would pur my arms around your neck
and kiss you, and tell you that I would
go hungry for a whole month for your
sake. Yes, that is what I would tell
you."
"I think you would, Mr. Bowser,"
admitted Mrs Bowser.
“No. I’m not such a man ns to knock
my wife's feet down her throat. I love

•‘Oh, yes. A sloe is a man who don't

“No, Mrs. Bowser, I would never

Mrs. Bowser—you see—”
Mr. Bowser had been walking the
floor. Of a sudden he halted, as if
struck by an idea, and he said:
“Mrs. Bowser, two days ago I car
ried a pair of shoes down to the cob
bler's. They were my winter shoes,
and I wanted the heels fixed up. The
cobbler assured me that they would
he sent up today. Did they come?'
“Yes, Indeed. They are in that par
cel, under the chair."
Mr. Bowser reached for the parcel
and opened it. There were a pair of
shoes brought to light, but as lie
looked at them a terrible frown came
to his face and he almost shouted
out:
“Shoes! Shoes! My shoes! Those
are not my shoes! They are slices
belonging to some mortar-mixer and
there Is plaster on them! My shoes
are I’tmber seven, while these are
certainly number ten. Who took these
in?”
“Why, I did. A boy brought them
and snhl they were your shoes, and
of course—“
“There is no ‘of course’ about it!
Mrs. Bowser, you have shown yourself
in your trwo colors! You have proved
that you have no Interest In your hus
band's welfare. It was your plain
duty, as my wife, to make the hoy ■dt
right down in a chair until you had
examined the shoes and satisfied your
self that they were mine.”
"But the boy said they were yours.”
persisted Sirs. Bowser.
“But what if he did say so!” shouted
Mr. Bowser. “You ought to know that
all hoys lie. Here I a:» out a pair of
shoes, and the mortar-mixer will spoil
mine trying to pull them onto his big
hoofs.”
“Mr. Bowser—”
“Not a word. Sirs. Bowser! I leave
fids house at once! I cannot remain
with a wife who is so careless as you
are! Yes, I go!"
And Mr. Bowser tramped, trarapejJ
down the hull, and passed out into
the autumn night. The moon hovered
over his head as lie walked, and the
stars winked at him, hut he walked
and walked and walked, and thought
only of his shoes, amt It was after
midnight before he sneaked hack home
and crept softly into bed to dream how
he would murder the cobbler ns soon

Sundial Has No Practical Value.
In many a rich man’s garden a sun
dial tolls the time, though nobody
looks or listens. It Is probable that
•tin* sundial never gave any informa
tion that could not have been ob
tained more quickly in other ways.
The sundial fulfills a function in a
man's garden, but that function is
not to toll the time. It is often of no
beauty and always of no utility, but
there is a cult in old things or in new
things that are fashioned after old
things, and a man likes to set up a
sundial on his lawn ns he will set up
old armor In his hall.

“Well, bo specific. Can you dress

“Not on three dollars a week," said
the boy.—O. E. Tt. Bulletin.
