In bis normal condition. As the day bad been excessively sul try I only had. a picked up dinner. I expected be, would, pound ,on. the. table and ask if I thought he was some two dollar 'a week . boarder, but be ate heartily and did not utter one com plaint.'; -';..:;,' A -:, . The cook burned her hand and broke , several dishes with a crash just as din. net was over, but Mr. Bowser' didn't take oq and declare that be would stop $10 out of her wages and $5 out of my A TBAlir AFPEaMD AHD OAtXiBD MB. minn 'nT.n uii ", pin money v On the contrary, be said that accident were liable to batoen in anybody's kitchen and suggested that I get tbe sweet oil and bind up tbe burn.

Mr. Bowser glanced at the bill and felt for change and paid it and didn't even speak of it iT-T'T-- Ten minutes Iatejrtbe; cook told me that we must have an extra piece of ice to keep things through, the night, and-1 bad to auk Mr. Bowser for a dime. - He handed it out without a word. On two or three previous occa sions be bad charged me with wheeling the refrigerator before the kitchen range In order to melt the Ice faster and send him to the poorboase. A hoodlum passing ou the other side of the street threw a potato at us and narrowly missed 'Mr. Bowser's bead. 1 fully expected a tragedy that would flli'i columns of the newspapers for days and day 3. and I believe I lost con scionnea for a moment. When I cam? to iSr. TiTveer whs simply sauntering arouLl t..e front yard.

" After t bad managed to draw long breath and shake off my lethargy I ob served to Mr. Bowser that I had spent two hours that afternoon looking over bis love letters. This has been a sore point with him for years. Before we were married he wrote me two .or three of the most gushing letters every day, but any reference, to them a year afterward always started a row. On this occasion I. mentioned that be bad called me his. "dear, darling, angel pet' thirty-one times in the same letter, but be smiled and patted me on tbe sboul der and said that I-was all of that. At 10 o'clock we entered the bouse to go to bed. There was a caster from one of the chairs lying loose on the floor. and 1 actually called Mr. Bow ser's attention to it, hoping he would raise a row. On several occasions when such things have caught his no tice he has charged me with taking the ax .or the crowbar and deliberately smashing up the furniture In order to send bim into bankruptcy the sooner. This time be picked the caster . up, wound a " piece .of paper round the thank and placed' it back In tbe chair leg. -The cat looked at me in a mean lag way and crawled under tbe lounge. Intuition - warned her that ,. something must soon break loose. ., " While " Mr. ; Bowser was wandering about the sitting room and softly bum mine to himself tbe cook beckoned me out Into the ball. She was dressed for tbe street and had i bundle under bet arm. 8b hated to leave me alone in tbe bouse, but she feared for ber own safety and would go to her sister's to stay all night Her poor husband bad bummed and walked around In Just such a way a few bfjurs before be went mad andjraddenly rushed for the ax. I tried tooulet fier'fears. but to vain. Tbe moat she mULHaJhun to promise to be back at 7 o'clock in tbe morning, and In case the police bad removed Mr, Bowser to an asylum, she would .get breakfafcfor me andve me all ber sympathy.''

Mr; Bowser bas gone ujj to bed, and tbe cat and I are looking at each other and wondering about Mr., Bowser has bad a thou sand different fads and I have written them up, but I cant understand' this one. -la it the precursor of insanity, or is he only being good?
