"Of course not I got swindled that Tray ooce. and you talked about it for a whole year." "Yes; you gave a peddler change for half a dollar and found out that it was bogus. That was the only time such a thing ever happened to you. and yet you are going to hold it up against the whole world." "This was a dollar, and I know 'twas a bad one." "I very much doubt if the coin was bad. In fact, 1 know the man to be I an honest peddler." "Well, he can go to the grocery." j "But you told him why you wouldn't cha uge it?" "1 did." replied Mrs. Bowser in a vexed tone. "I told him he ought to be arrested." "1 thought so. His face betrayed the fact that his feelings had been badly hurt.

Mr. Bowser ate with dignity. Mrs. Bowser ate in silence. The family cat looked from one to the other and remarked to herself that there was another family row on. WheD dinner had been finished and : the sitting room reached Mr. Bowser walked about with his hands folded onder his coattails for awhile and then turned and said: "Mrs. Bowser, when I lose my trust In human nature 1 want to die." "And yet you are beaten by some body almost every day." she replied. Friend of Humanity. "Don't begin that song and dance, now. for you know it i?n't true, i am never beaten, and I never beat anybody else. I believe in humanity, and humanity believes in me." "Well, I have no objections." "But you are my wife, you see!" "And for that reason I must believe as you do?" . "It would be better, Mrs. Bowser? j far better. You would then be safe | from mistakes." "Oh. I would! 1 don't think so. We will keen our beliefs separate, if yon don't miud." "But, woman, 1 do mind!" be shouted. losing his patience at last. "If you can't think as 1 do then?then"? wont tn riron into (3rp<m*s 1>UU t Jr VU "UUC vv v?^ V tz ?... x . ? for an hour or so?" she asked as he walked about the room again. "Green's be hanged! We are not going to drop this subject until it has been talked out. I made the assertion that 1 trusted humanity, and I am going to prove it." "How?" was asked. "Never you mind. I'll prove it all right and confound you with proofs that cannot be disputed. I'll do It within the hour. Woman. I am thoroughly awake on this matter. If hu inanity is as wicked as you are always trving to make out I want to know it." Searching For Proof. With that ho passed down the hall and got his hat and overcoat and left the house. Just how he was going to prove his case he didn't know, but sood after leaving: the gate he encoun tered an old man hobbling along and halted him to say: "It happens that I have no change and wish to take a car Could you change batf a dollar for me?" "Not by a darned sight!" was the reply. "You meaD you haven't g ?t it?" "None of your business what I mean! You go on or I'll whack you with my cane!" "Why. old man, what makes you so spiteful?" "Because I'm oa to your sort. You'd rob me in a rainit. I wasn't born yesterday. Get a move on you!" Repulsed Again. Mr. Bowser moved, and a hundred feet farther on he met a well dressed man and put up his finger to halt him and said: "I live down on the other block and rame out without any change. If you can loan me 10 cents I'll give it to you in the morning." "But I'm no loan office," was the reply "Do you mean that you won't let me have it?" "Certainly I won't. Why, man your little game is older than the great Chicago fire." "Can't you tell something about a man by his locks?" "That's how I'm judging you." Mr. Bowser got: reaay to can toe mau a liar, bat bung on to himself aDd walked on to the corner. He had been there about tWD minutes when the peddler man who had tried to stick Mrs. Bowser with the bad coin came along. He was recognized and halted, and Mr. Bowser said: "You were at. my house about G o'clock?" "Mebbe I was," was the reply. Making Amends. "Oh, you needD't be afraid to own up. You simply wanted to get change for a dollar." "Mebbe so." "My wife not only wouldn't change the coin, but she said it was bogus and that you ought to be locked up. She said that, didn't she?" "She may have." "Yes. she told me she said it. She didn't care a durn whether she hurt your feelings or not I told her you were an honest man." "Yes?" "And that the dollar was a good one." "Of course I'm honest." "Well, here are four quarters for the dollar. I want my wife to know that I met you and trusted you." After a puzzled look at Mr. Bowser the man produced the coin, received his quarters and hastened away. A car was coming, and it struck the truster of human Dature that he would ride down to the city hall and back. When it came to paying the fare he handed out the dollar. The conductor looked at it without taking it and sneeringly said: "If I was a blind maa I wouldn't he here!" "Eh? What?" "Do you make em?" "Sir. is there anything wreBg about this coTn?" "Do you mem you ean't tell what it Ib by the looks of it?" Reward of Confidence. Mr. Bowser etosaly examined the dollar. It wis snrely bogus. However, be had a reputation to maintain, and as he Ml for another coin he growled: "You conductors on this line ought to go to a school of manners." "And a few patrons Hke you ought to go t# Jail tor passing counterfeit money," was promptly replied. "Donlt you say that of me!" "You keep quiet, old man!" Mr. Bowser failed to keep quiet, and the result was that a policeman was - - * -* - - ?n called find he was given me cunar. uu being walked into the station house he began to tell who he was, but was run into a cell and the door slammed on him. There he was when he was led out in the morning for arraignment. "Rather fishy story," commented his honor after hearing it, "but I'll let you off this time." Mrs. Bowser had sat up all night, imagining the worst, but when Mr. Bowser walked in she couldn't help saying: "Well, have you brought the proofs?"
