Quad. 1 BOWSER had started for the office at. the usual hour and had been gone fifteen minutes when he returned. To Mrs. Bowser's query of what had happened to bring him back he replied: "Ton ean Bee that half an Inch of fresh enow fell last night, and I'm go ing, to take a day off and go hunting. I've been waiting all winter for Just such a day," 'V,-rv ".T-" "But what can you hunt?" she asked. "Well. I'll go out and knock over a dozen rabbits, and perhaps I'll get a fox and a wild turkey or two. ' This is what they call a good tracking snow. If 1 get on s the trail of anything, it can't escape me. " ", V "I shouldn't think you'd want to go plowing through the snow all day on the chance of shooting a rabbit, and no one knows what accident may .bap pen to you.. , ( - . x , "I do. not tnteud to lilow, as you call It. and no accident will happen. ' I need a day off to brace me up. and yon know that I lore hunting. I'll bet I bring home more game than we can eat In a week. . ' . ' ' , , It would hare been useless for Mrs. Bowser , to make further opposition. During - the night Mr. Bowser had dreamed of slaying rabbits by the acre, and the fresh fall of snow bad decided him to go out. .He took half an hour to change bis clothes and get out a shotgun tuat be bad bad in the bouse not feeling at all funny when my wife told me that a man with a gun was at the kitchen door. - . "Went out to see the man with a gun. "Found him to.be short and Xat with a hopeful expression of countenance. "He said be had tracked a rabbit to my door and that , he suspected the monster to have entered and bidden away in on of the rooms. ! - ; j c ;v . "I opened on him in the English lan guage and whistled for my dog, and the last I saw of him be was going through the orchard, and looking for wolves. In the excitement of the mo ment, aided by the ache of the two boils above referred to, I may , have made threats, but I cannot feel respon sible if anything happened to bim aft er he left my place. I have kept noth ing back. ,ThIs Is all I know about the missing man." It was a fanner half a mtye farther up the same highway who brought In the fourth report Having suppressed bis emotions, be saldr "It was last Tuesday. I was shell ing corn in my barn when a stranger with a gun entered. I have reason to believe that bis name was Bowser. "I am not a humorous man, but when the stranger informed me that he had tracked a rabbit to bis lair In the woods and wanted help to slay, the monster I believe I smiled.. 1 think he saw the smile, as be presently inquired what in blazes I saw to tickle me. We bad a few words. They did not relate to THE FLlUtii OF AN EMPRESS MEALS 3Y WHOlC&L. HE WAS FOLLOWING THE TRACKS OF A CALF, AND HE SEEM ' ED TO BE CONSIDERABLY EXCITED. for live years, and when he was ready to start be said: ' - , "I shall probably be home about 4 o'clock this afternoon, but if I'm two , hours late you needn't worry. I may run right Into a drove of rabbits, and in case I da I shall keep right on slay ing." , ' " "Are you sure about yourself?" she asked. "Sure about what?" 1 "Well, you know, you once followed the truelr of a rabbit all day. and It turned out to be u tat Do you think you can tell the difference between the tracks now?" r "I never followed the tracks of a cut and you know It" be exclaimed. "This is just like you. I want a day off to supply our Ice box with game, aud you start lu to spoil It." "1 don't want to spoil your day. but you know that cat tracks and rabbit (be Venezuelan question, but to that of hunting the wild unicorn in a horse pond half mile away. "We did not part In a loving spirit but there was no blood shed. He called me a knock kneed, slabsided. bow back ed sou of a coast defense cannon, and I advised bim to look out for chip munks and ordered him off my farm. If anything has happened to bim, I am sorry, , Had lie met me In a more broth crly spirit' J. would have put bim on to the trucks of a woodchnck and advised him what to do in cast' the animal turn ed at bay."

Do 1 took like a man who Is going out to hunt cats?' "I should say you were going out to hunt bears." "Oh, you would? Well. I may pick up a bear or two as I go along. I may also be gone two or three days or n week. Perhaps when I drive op with a wagon load of rabbits you won't feel quite so cynical. I'm off. Goodby." v The first report from Mr. Bowser aft er he left the bouse was given by a po liceman, who said: "I was standing on the corner when man whom I recognized as Bowser come up to take the car. He had on rubber boots and a cap and carried a gun. I nuked bim If be was going out In the country to shoot frogs, and he Klnred at me and made no answer. I warned hhn , to beware of ferocious woodchucks. and he glared again and took the car." The next report was from the con ductor of a suburban car. ne said: "A short fat man. who. I believe, was Mr. Bowser, took my oar on Tues day mornlrg. lie bad a shotjun. and he asked me how many rahlits It took to load h wagon.

The shouts of the malcontents already rang 'In the g den of the Tuilerles. Then the crowd broke into the reserved garden before the palace and tore down the Imperial eagles. Now comes the cry of "Vive la republlque!" '''; - - ' "Let me entreat your majesty said Prince Metternlch, the Austrian am bassador, "to leave the palace." "I add my entreaties," said Chevalier Nigra, ; the ; Italian ": ambassador, "to those of his excellency." .-" It was a critical moment The em press was In the rose colored room among her attendants of the service of honor, who were trembling to be re lieved from duty and to save them selves. The empress declined to leave. "Madame " said her secH-tary, Pletrl, "your refusal to depart ; will cause general massacre of those whose duty it is to remain with you.' , "General Mllllnet," said the empress, "can .you defend the palace without bloodshed 7'V "I fear not, madnme." "Then all is over." . When those in attendance perceived that her majesty had yielded, - there was a quick sigh of relief, though re newed yens at the front of the palace brought a terror lest the flight had been delayed too long.' All remembered the breaking Into the palace at Ver sailles of the mob from which Marie Antoinette had fled and the massacre of the Swiss guard that defended her, Breathlessly the service of honor watt ed Eugenie's departure. First she must bid farewell to them. When 'this bad been finished, she left the room with Pietrt'Mnie. Lebreton and the two am bassadors and passed through the gal leries leading to the Louvre.- At the same moment the mob was breaking Into the front of the palace.: Suddenly Fletri found the way blocked by locked door. Pale as a ghost be cried: "The key I The key!" For a moment It seemed that they were lost but suddenly one of the at tendants ran forward with the key and unlocked the door. Hurrying past pictures that the rulers of France bad. been centuries m collecting, the party made an exit at the end of the palace farthest from the mob and entered the place on which stood the Church of St Germain . i'Auxerrols. The whole city was in an uproar. - A mob was passing down Bue Rivoll; another was coming from an opposite .direction. Metternlch, who had left his carriage on the Rue Rivoll when he entered the Tulleries. went to seek It A street boy,. ; recognizing Eugenie,, shouted, "There's the empress!" Fortunately a cab was driven past Nigra stopped It and, opening the door, pnt in the em press and Mme. Lebreton, then torueJ to the boy and endeavored to stop bis mouth. The driver of the cab, seeing the terrible wave of revolution pouring down the street, belabored his horse with the stump of a Whip and drove no one knew where. When Metternlch returned, the empress had gone. She' was deprived of the two ambassadors' protection, but she was safer where she was. On went the cab with the woman who for years had been the first lady of France, now a fugitive from a crowd of h'er Infuriated subjects. Far ther and farther their hideous yells were left behind till at last they bad become a confused murmur. Then the cabman drew rein aud asked where he should drive the occupants. -; y Where? The question was the most serious Eugenie hud ever been called npou to answer la all her romantic life. Where?' To the home of one of the favorites of her late court?, Should she seek those of the diplomatic corps? v ouia it oe sore to rely upon one i . , , - ,, . . i nuum ii : ue u reiy upon one We had an flug the sheep n a field back of my promlnent in the vorps legislatif. the Eaatr K Itches Arrauareotvata !

In trying to remember one she could trust who did not live far from where she was at the time it occurred to her that the house of an American dentist Dr. Evans, was but a short distance away.
