When Mr. I'.owyer came home to din
nor tin- other evening tio found Mrs.
Bowser with nti itproii 0:1 mid other
evidences I bar she htul I. en at work
in the kitchen, and after surveylug
her for n moment lie usked:
"Well, vvhnt does this moan?"
"The cook has left, and 1 had to get
the dlnuer." she replied.
"Cook left, eh?"
"Yes. She has had a pain In her
side for the last month, nnd the doc
tor told her that she ought to have a
rest."
"Humph! And we have uo girl?"
"Rut 1 have put an a<i. In the papers,
and one may coine this evening. Both
Mrs. Br< wn and Mrs. (Jreen have ah<
sent word to girls they know to eoiue
and see me. We won't lie long with
out one and I would just as soon do
the work for a couple of days as not.
You will find your dinner nil right."
During tlie dinner Mr. Bowser was
almost slleut. When It was over and
while .Mrs. Bowser was doing tip the
dishes she heard him tramping around
the sitting room. She realized that he
was going to have something to say
about the cook's leaving, and when her
work was finished she drew a long

breath and went upstairs to moot tlio
??risls. SI 10 had Scarcely settled her
?:elf when he began:
"Mrs. Bowser, the time has come for
;>lti In speaking with you."
"Yes'/" she queried.
"You have added another crime to
the hundreds you have been guilty of.
and 1 inn going to toll you right here
u;d now that you have got to mnke a
??h.inge In your oouduct or I shall bo
tumor the painful necessity of apply
ing to the courts for a divorce."
' I didn't know that 1 had robbed,
murdered or committed arson." she
replied.
"No levity, madam. I refer to the
servant girl problem, as yon well
know. I have let you go your own
way unrestrained for years and years,
but the time has come to call a halt.
In fifteen years your cruel and blood
thirsty attitude toward servant girls
has driven over fifty of them out of
this house. Some have secured other
places, but many of thorn, discouraged
and hopeless, have gone to the river to
commit suloidc. For the deaths of
such you are directly responsible."
Mrs. Bowser rose up and asked to
bo excused for a moment, and. going
ii;>stalrs, she returned with a inemorau
Iniok In her hand and placed It on
the table and said:
"Here Is the name of every girl that
has worked for us for the last twenty
years? her name, how long she re
mained and ail aliout It. We have had
twenty-nine girls In the twenty years
Shall I road you the list? One stayed
throe years, one two and several of
theiu over a year."
"Urn! Um! Mrs. Bowser, this Is a
matter that cannot l>e dismissed In
this frivolous manner."
Reads From Her Diary. _
"No? Well, let us go into It a little
deeper, then. I.et me read you a few
extracts:
! " "Annie I tally.? Very competent girl.
Stayed four weeks and then quit be
cause Mr. Bowser came from his club
one'uight and chucked her under the
chin.
??'Nellie Wheeler.? Very ;;ood cook.
Rcmaiued three weeks and then quit
because Mr. Bowser always bad his
nose In the kitchen and was telling her
how sorry he was for her.
" '.Mary Scott.? Never had a better
girl aud hoped to keep her for a year
or two, but Mr. Bowser was fooliug
with a gas saver and blew up the
kitchen, and she left.' "
"Stop! Stop!" shouted Mr. Bowser
as he turned red aud white aud polut
ed a tinger at her. "Woman, you cau't
dodge this investigation 1= no such
manner as that. You have simply
made those entries to shield a guilty
conscience."
"What was I guilty of/"
"Listen to me. You are like thou
sands of other wives in this country.
You have uever regarded a hired girl
as a human being. Wh >n girls have |
come here to apply for & situation you
have put yourself up on a pedestal a
hundred feet high. You have let them
know nt one? that you considered
them ns dirt beneath your feet."
"Nonsense," she replied, with n langli.
"Woman, don't try to excuse your
self. Have you ever In all these twen
ty years given a girl to understand
that you had asked for her confidence?
Have you shown any one of then) bj
your attitude that she could come to
j you with her troubles? Answer dip
I that, woman."
1 "I will. You had a cleric over lu the
; office at $7 a week. It was starvation
wages. and you knew It. and yet you
refused to advance him. You knew
that he frequented pool rooms, but did
yon ever warn him against them? You
knew that he wan falling Into the
drluklng Imblt, but did you ever sit
down and give him a fatherly talk?
ITe swore. but did you ever tell him
what a vicious habit It was? He finnl
ly became discouraged and hanged
himself, but have you gone around
feeling that his death can bo laid at
your door?"

because he had grown weak that be

and tried to explode. ITe might have

"That's probably a girl In answer to

dowu and do the engaging. Tell her
that you run the house and that things
have got to go as you say."
"I? I didn't say"?
"Ho right down. We'll Bottle tike

If I go down I shall look at her dls

Mr. Bowser went down. It was a

question wheu she said:
"I didu't know that you were a wid

"But I am not"
"Then your wife is an luvalld, and 1
don't care to come."
"But uiy wife is In first rate health."
"Then where Is she?"
"You see, my dear girl, tny wife
holds rather radical opinions on the
servant girl question, and ahe and I
don't agree. I believe that a girl who
works in the kitchen Is every bit ns

"l don't want the place," Interrupted
the caller as she made her way out
and left him standing on one leg and
'oozing very foolish. He was alnait to

ring, and he answered to find that
1111*0 applicants had arrived together.
"Walk In, young ladles? walk In."

Applicant! For the Flaco.
"What about the place?" asked the
ted headed girl, naturally taking the
tnul.
"I want a cook and will pay good
wages. You will find the place as good
as any In town."
"But what have you got to do about
It?"
"I'm! My wife Las heretofore hired

looked at each other for half a mln
