"I'm sorry for !t. I hope it's nothing 0? serious." "You needn't do any hoping. I've gone over things in my mind this /. afternoon, and the wonder is that I'm not in the peorhotw.

And from that moment until ho hod finished lie rofn<? d to say another I word Mrs. Iinwsiv told hini of a dogfight and an aire:.' and an accident. W.-a but he heard h-r with stern sot fa-e Itnd uttered no word. It was only when the fatuilt r .oin was reached that he turned to l:er with: "We will new have the tajk referred to. Haven't I niwavs been an industrious man?" "\VKy certainly." "Haven't J heen saving atul econoniIcaJ?" "Reasonably so. vcv" "Why do you say reasonably?"

I call your attention to the fa<t that when I wanted to run a dairy farm you op|K>sod It. There was a sure fortune in my CTttsp. but 1 was foolish enoujrh to listen to you fc and turn it down. I simply threw* JJ away tens of thousands of dollars." "Yes. you wauted to open a dairy." renlted "Yon eoultl have trad??d / ' the bouse for forty acres of In nil. 1 convinced you after au hour's argument that it took cows to open a dairy. Ton (hadn't figuri*! on rows. fodder, help or other c.\jk*hs??s." That Hog Proposition. % "And 1 wanted to raise hogs." he went on as if she had not spoken. "Look at the present price of pork. I figured that 2.tXW hogs would bring us in a fortune in three years, but you bad to butt in again." "1 only asked you where the money was coming front to buy 2.000 pigs anil P * keep tbeiu until they had become f bogs." l ' "And where Is there more money than in chicken farming? 1 had the chance of a lifetime, but you butted in again. Had I ignored you I s.ioiild have been a millionaire today." "Yes: a man who bad lost everything at the gatue but a hundred old hens wanted to give you a great bargain It was easy enough to figure out that every egg would cost us 10 cents. You made the figures yourself and called the man a scoundrel." "Mrs. Bowser. 1 don't like your tone. Please remember you are talking to your husband. 1 had the best chance In the world to become an aviator. In I nn(fo nil., tfprlif Fillf for VOtl 1 ?"??v VMX . I would now be skimming the clouds and lypbrtersT1 by the dozen would be Interviewing nie on the next war. Read how the aviators who never raw a company of soldiers on the inarch are airing their opinions on war and the part the tiyinj; machine is toj^ay in it." |[H; you went up twenty feet and eatde down again." smiled Mrs. Bowser. "Isn't your l>aok lame yet? If you want to do any skimming take the lawn mower. Von can get a grip with your toes when you push that, and a live mile breeze doesn't interfere." "1 had at: '-fTer of a western sheep inch, but you had ro kick the milk ail over. Wool is higher than for venry years, but where am i?

"I'idn't I invent a hair dye?" be do ; manded as lie switched away frotr 1 the frozen sheep. ', "Oil. yes." Bowser's hair dye-the best thiup: ever put on the market?" "Yes " "Ami 1 rniuht have made thousand-. out ??r it but f<?r you. You didn't waul < me ! > spend $10.<)h0 advertising it. and '. of course it wouldn't go. All. what an,4 i idiot 1 was to let you discourage me!" | The Hair Dye Scheme. "But you know that the only twopersons that used it sued you for dam-. ages. I didn't say anything until then j 'i'lie dve took one's sea in off. and you , had to pay him $g'50. After that 1 j' ! couldn't see where ilie profit was to ( i come in." "Woman, are you to dispute every-! tiling I say? Isn't it sufficient that yon | have kept :ne down all these years;" ; "Oh. I'm not disputing." she replied.'r "I'm just correcting ;i few of your or- * i rors. l>o you remeinber that you once ( 1 wanted to trade this house for a saw-: mill':" "Indeed I d<> That's where yen | : kno ked me out again.

You can't use it for I I a cider mill." ; .f "Mrs. Itowser. I set out to say"? "Yes. i know, but you once wanted ,( ; to invest Js.-.onn in a fire escape." I "And you butted in!" he shouted. j "I simply advised a trial liefore i?uy- , i ing. You got a man to experiment. | ' j and lie came down with a run and ! ^ 1 broke his log.

"Aud you \> >:e going to pay $'.t.ooo j for a recipe to make sparkling chum- | pagne out of root beer or something." j she continued. "Never! Never!" "And would have done so bad I not j called your attention to the pure food ! law. You were surely in the hands of ' | a rascal." Another Fool Thing. "I say we trill drop tlie subject." "Yes, in a monicut. Then you were going to manufacture imported jams from apple cores and peelings. You bad your money drawn from the bank when 1 saved you." ".Mrs. Bowser, am I tbe bead of tbis houseV" "And tlieu a swindler wanted to get you into tbe tirepfoof paint business. ' He gave his word that nothing painted i | with his paint "could burn, and you ; were satisfied to invest when I told ; you to try it with a board iu the fur- ! nace.
