"About fifty of them," he replied. "A wife shouldn't be such a holdback on her husband." "Well, some are born that way." "But tbey can change. I am going to change. The next scheme you have for making e million dollars In a year I am going to give you all possible encouragement" . .< : v "But I am done with schemes. I have been ridiculed and insulted in my own house until I no longer care whether we die in the poorhouse or not" "I hate to hear you talk like that For three days past I have been scheming myself, and this evening I have a plan to discuss with you." "Humph!" "I think it a great scheme." 4tTT L tt? nuuipu: "I am sure you will agree with me when you have heard the particulars." Mr. Bowser turned to his paper in YOUira RHINO AS A PET. an indifferent manner, but after a conple of minutes his curiosity began to stir and he observed: "It would be a wonder if you had a scheme worth listening to."

What are the rhinoceroses; of Africa to me? What are thirt.Wpve cent cooking pots of America to me? What are the fads of society to me?" "It is possible That you haven't linked these things together?" "There is no linking about it. It's all nonsense!" "Dear me. but it's no wonder you are not worth a million collars. Here is fortune knocking at your door, and you are turning her away. It seems queer that you cannot understand me. Let me go over it slowly: "The society ladies of America de- j i velop a new fad. | "It is a pet rhinoceros.

It could be advertised as i sure cure for tuberculosis." v "Tod are.quite done, are you?' aakei Mr. Bowser as she paused.' "Oh, there's more, but I think yoi can see the points I have made. Mi Bowser, do you realize that you an getting to be an old man?" "What In thunder has my age got t< do with it?" he shouted. "Why?why"? "And there isn't a gray hair In m: | head." "Because you haven't any at all. W< might as well look the situation in th< face.

"Woman, have you lost the littli sense you were born with?" "And wt could go together to delivei the milk." "Btopr "And the newspapers would five m< credit for the idea." "Stop it, I say!" "But you shall have your share. Mr Bowser, how soon can yon get ready t< tart for Africa*/" . "Never!" . "There is no time to lose if yoi would take advantage of this golden opportunity. The natives there may hear of the fad and run up the price There may come a rinderpest to mak< a scarcity. Some other brilliant wo man may give her husband the idea Can't yon run out this evening and en gage your passage?" "No, no, no!" he shouted as he start ed down the hall. "But the chance may slip away." "The chance to get you to an insane asylum won't slip, for I'm going out right now to make arrangements"' "I can pack a valise for yon in fifteen minutes.

"Don't you care to be worth a million dollars?" "Not by a durned sight!" "And you won't go to Africa?" "I won't!" "Nor into the rhino scheme?" "No!" Mr. Bowser's feelings were, all mixed up as he left the house. Never in her life before had Mrs. Bowser talked that way. As he went along he tried to think if she had acted strange and queer at any time during the last two weeks, but he could not call any instance to mind. She must be wrong in the head, however. He go to Africa! He bring home rhinos! ne turn milk man! "By thunder, but she's as mad as a March hare," he exclaimed to himself, "and I can't have a doctor any too soon!" The druefirlRt! He was nassinz his family druggist's, and he baited and turned in. There were no customers in the store, and the druggist told him to go ahead with hla story.
