"I don't exactly see why you shouh care" about any Bowser 200 years old,' said Mrs. Bowser. ? "But I do care a great deal. It makei quite a difference whether your auces * tors wore ditch diggers or kings, or n least It does to me. As for you, o course you don't care a pin. You weri a Tompkins, and I don't think any o the Tompkins family, from No. ldown ever amounted to anything great." "But the Bowsers have?" "Well, the fnmlly tree, as far as com pleted, shows princes, dukes, barons governors and statesmen among them.1 - "Then the family must be on the de ? cline," "Woman, what do you , mean b; that?" shouted Mr. Bowser as his hal began to crackle.

I'm the one as comes between Moses and Elijah, and If there's a dollar coming to r me I'll take it now." I "But you can't bo the man.

You can take my word ? for it and give mo tlio dollar. I don't i suppose you expect a gentleman to s throw bis time away entirely?" Mrs. Bowser was merciful enough to withdraw and go up stairs and the cat to seek the dark spot under the piano, and while Mr. Bowser was hotly arguing with Sam Bowser the bell rang and two other Bowsers called, Joe and Jim. "Hearing that you was looking up tho Bowser family, sir"? began Joe. "And beiug I'm a Bowser myself, sir"? added Jim. "We thought we'd call and see what It was all about," continued both together. "Don't trust 'em. sir!" whispered Sam Bowser. "Can't you see that while we looks alike they look altogether different?" "Gentlemen, did any of you ever hear of Aaron or Nicodemus Bowser?" asked Mr. Bowser. "We have, sir," replied the three in chorus. "What Bowser lived between them?" 1 "I did, sir," chorused the trio. 1 Tho cat came out of hiding and tooh t a look at the four Bowsers and skulk ed back, and after a strained silence '' Mr. Bowser was about to move an ad0 journment when the bell rang again 1 and another Bowser appeared. a "My name, sir," he explained, "ie f Leviticus Bowser, and I understand that you are hunting up the Bowsei 1 family tree." ' "But you ain't in it!" shouted Joe, Jim and Sam. s "But I nm, and you loafers are simi ply after money!" t "You're a liar!" f "Stop!" shouted Mr. Bowser.
