KS. BOWSER and the eat
|1/| were waiting for him on the
I * i front steps as Mr. Bowser j
reached home the other evening,
and he paused a moment before
entering the house to ask:
"Doesn't the word 'Eureka' siguify j
! something or ether?"
"Yes; it signifies 'I have found it,' replied
Mrs. Bowser. j
"Then you can take it that I have
exclaimed 'Eureka." "
"Do you mean that you have found
gome new way to save half the gas?"
"No, I don't. 1 don't. I don't care
a hang about the gas. What I mean is
that we have been looking for some
place out in the country where we
could put iu a couple of weeks this
summer, but have thus far been dis- j
appointed."
"But I thought you had decided to
stay home?"
"So I had until I came across this
newspaper advertisement this morning.
I think I have tumbled on a good
thing. Come in and read it." j
Advantage of Crow's Nest.
The advertisement read as follows:
Persons seeking for a homelike place in
the country* where they can pass a few
weeks should write to the Crow's Nest. !
Pure air, large rooms, fine beds, spring I
water, vegetables, eggs and milk; table J
unsurpassed: no children or dogs. Only
two minutes to the lake and five to the 1
postotfiee. No mosquitoes, flies nor ma- J
laria. All outdoor amusements. Terms
only $>! per week. Room for a few mar|
ried couples.
"Well, what do j*ou think of it?"
j asked Mr. Bowser as the slip was re:
turned. I
"1 should say it was a fraud."
"That's like you. of*tourse. You see
a fraud and a swindle in everything. I
j wouldn't have your suspicious nature
BCsa"^
"ONLY TWO MINUTES TO THE LAKE AND
FIVE TO THE POSTOFF1CE."
for any money. What's wrong about
the advertisement? Where is your authority
for calling it a fraud?"
"It promises too much for the
monev."
"1 don't see it that way. Here are a
farmer and Ijis wife who are lonely for
the society of good people, and. being
so situated that they can make a dozen
or more comfortable, they are willing
to do it without robbing them. Any
one could tell by the very name that it
was a nice place to jro. I'd bet iliat
farmer would break bis bitch to make
his quests happy, How soon can you
pack your trunksV"
"Why. what for? You haven't even
written to them, have you':"
"No. and I'm not p>in:; to. We want
two weeks oil, and we have found the
place to ito. We needn't eu-u wail to

Mrs. Dowser refused to sir.rt off in '
any anvil heller she Iter manner. She j
insisted that Mr. Dowser take a run. j
out to Crow's No?c and look thsiys ;
over. r.nO after co us rk-ra Lie wr.ir.yiir.^ j
tlii;* program aat?s agreed upon. While |
he was investigating she could be pack- j
ing, and so 1:0 time would be lost. !
' During the remainder of the evening !
be was in the highest of spirits. lie j
I saw every feature of those homelike ?
[ surroundings, and over and over again j
he reposed in the shade of an apple
tree or pulled about 0:1 the waters of
i tiie gem of a lake. Even iu his sleep
j he was playing croquet and hunting
; hens' nests, and as morning came his
! impatience was so great that he hardly
ate a mouthful of breakfast.
Mr. Bowser got away at an early
hour, leaving instructions that the
trunks should be packed during the
day, and after a ride of two hours on
the train he arrived at his destination.
He was so good matured on the way
that he passed over several things of
an unpleasant nature, and the conductor
finally came to regard him as
a harmless old gentleman. Crow's
Nest was half a mile from the station
where he was dumped out. It loomed
up before him as he got started. It
loomed from a sense of duty. If it m
hadn't loomed there would have been ~
nothing but a bobtailed cow and a j
stack of marsh hay to make up the
scenery. Mr. Bowser plodded ou until
he reached the house. He* might
have thought there was some mistake
but for a man at the gate, who
ansAvered his inquiry with:
"Yes, this is Crow's Nest. Do you
I want board?"
I It was a two story farmhouse, uni
finished and un pa in ted. The shade
| was furnished by four or five old
' plum trees, and there wasn't enough
i grass in sight to furnish a cow with
! ten good bites. The lake Avas behind
the house, and it was part of a marsh.
"Come in and see the rooms," suggested
the mam who had a boil on his
neck and a look of sorroAv 011 his face.
| In a dazed AA*ay Mr. BoAvser followed
| him. There were five or six untenanted
rooms. Some were plastered and
cranio wwp nnt All of them were
?- i
airy, because most of tbe windows
were broken. Tbe view from the I
1 front rooms took in the highway, an j
, old barn and a held grown up to ,
i milkweeds. That from the rear was j
composed of the marshy lake and an ]
old horse standing on the shore and j
seeming to be saying to himself, "To j
drink or not to drink?" j
"Come down and see my wife before j
you decide on a room." said the man, i

and out into the kitchen and J
discovered a red headed, sharp nosed !
woman, who was making a mustard j
poultice for her aching jaw.
"And now I'll introduce you to the ;
only boarder who has yet arrived," j
continued the farmer, and he led the ; I
way to a bench under one of the plum !
trees, where sat a sore eyed, seedy 051
looking man. lie rose up and shook j a<
hands and said that he had gained ten
pounds in the week he had been there i b
and that after trying all the resorts fi
in the country he had settled on Crow's w

"What room will you take, and when tl
may we expect you?" Mr. Bowser was 11
asked as he began to get red in the
face. a
"Say, now, this is a blamed fraud!" r(
he managed to stammer at last. xv
"What do you mean, sir?" a
"T ino'in that :inv man who will ad

"So you are a ki -kor. eh?" sneered a
the farmer. "I thought you were as . c<
far as I could see you. Not good
enough for your royal highness, it
seems! Well. I wouldn't have you at ti
any price." u
"And I wouldn't stop in your old s'
