j Th$ announcor who yells through the
nieg:i plume to call up the carriages aft
er the theater will persist that he has
never made a mistake, but you cau
doubt his word. If he hadn't on this
night Mr. Itradr.haw and Mrs. Dins
j more wouldn't have found themselves
side by side in an auto, and Mr. Dlns
j more and Mrs. Krndshaw wouldn't
have taken the same cab. Mr. and
Mrs. Itradshaw had hud something of
a misunderstanding before leaving
home, and during (lie performance at
the theater he had made up his mind
to say things on the way home.
For live minutes the woman beside
him ignored his existence. She was
still in t lie sulks, ami site might have
continued to ignore h:id not Mr. Brad
sin w suddenly uttered a swear word
| and announced to the chauffeur that a
; mistake had been made. Mrs. Dins
more gasped and uttered a little
I screaiu at the announcement, but did
not lose her self possession. For three
| long hours she had been thinking how
she would like to lacerate the feelings
of some man. and she said:
"I'm going to ask you how you use
your wife."
I "Madam, Isn't that rather a singular
question?" lie replied.
"You may think so, but I'm some
thing of a reader of character. If you
are not one of the bossy kind around
your house then I'm much mistaken.
I think you are also scltish and con
ceited. You were at the theater with
your wife. I'll wacer that you gave
her to understand that It was a mag
I numinous concession on your part.
You'll expect her to sit with freezing
feet aird save a ton of coal the next
| week to make even. Oh, 1 know your
sort. If you weren't so self Important
you'd have never made this mistake.
You thought you owned the only auto
in town and that this must be yours
because it drove tip to the curb. There
1?1 feel better, and you can take me
home. I am Mrs. Dinsmore of 342 Ma
j pie avenue."
"Yes." said Mr. Itradshaw as he
headed the machine iu that direction. |
j "It so happens that I know your hus
band. I know that lie is hard up and j
ou the point of failure, and 1 have
heard a dozen people say that it is on |
j account of your extravagance. Don't !
interrupt me. but you are living iu a j
too expensive house. Your wardrobe
costs too much. You keep too many |
servants. Your husband Is afraid of j
you and dare not hint at retrench
ment. You arc wearing diamonds
now t hat will be iu the hands of his
creditors in less than three months
if you don't hold up. Here is Maple
avenue, and here's X<>. 1U2. and there's
your husband and my wife waiting for
us."
On leaving the theater and iinding
t heir. "el vos In i lie same tab Mr. 1 >ins
more and Mfs. BradsffaTv dWtoTetwrdie
mistake by the time the driver had
traveled a block. The vehicle was or
dered to set them down on Maple ave
nue, and they had been watting thero
half an hour when the others drove
up. Meanwhile they had been talking.
"Oh, so you aro Mr. Dlnsmore?" re
peated Mrs. Bradshaw. I have heard
of your wife."
"Yes?"
"She goes into society a good deal."
"Yes," was the reply, accompanied
by a long drawn sigh.
That sigh caught Mrs. Bradshaw.
She was a sympathetic woman by na
ture, and she had Just witnessed an
emotional play and was more sympa
thetic than usual. Besides, she hud
heard about Mrs. Dlnsmore's extruvu
gance. Therefore, weakkneed and hum
ble minded as she was In thd presence
of I he overshadowing Mr. BradsMw,
she plucked up courage to say:
"Mr. Dlnsmore, 1 am very, very sorry
for you, but yet It Is our own fault In
a way."
"Just what do you refer to?"
"To your wife, of course. Why don't
you stand right up and tell her she
can't have this and that? She may
have a temper, but tlrmnes* would con
quer that. She may threaten divorce,
but pay no attention to that. That Is
a woman's bluff. 1 don't think it too
late to begin now. but you have got to
make up your mind to be firm."
"1 see," said Mr. Dlnsmore, who
hadn't Interrupted her speech by rais
ing so much as a linger. "Mrs. Brad
shaw, It happens, queerly enough, that
I also kuow something about your
family matters. You are a servile, su
pine wife. You don't dare to call your
soul your own. You are bossed and
bulldozed. Your husbund makes you
efface yourself like a servant. While
he t>elongs to three or four expensive
clubs, buys the best wines and cigars
and has an auto for his special ben
eflt. you are squeezing the pennies and
dreading the gas bills. Why do you
do It? Why don't you get up and as
sert yourself?"
Mrs. Bradshaw was gasping for
breath when the other vehicle drove
up, and the four saluted each other.
After a moment the men stepped aside
a bit to explain to each other how the
mistake must have come about, and
their wives did the same, having been
introduced.
"Dlnsmore," whispered Bradshaw,
"your wife has given me an Infernal
wigging."
"Ditto," replied Dlnsmore.
"Mrs. Dlnsmore," whispered the oth
er lady, "your husband has given me
the awfulest talking to I ever got."
"Ditto," replied Mrs. Dlnsmore.
And then they all stood and looked
at each other for an embarrassing mo
ment and then said cm*! night.
ITCHING HUMOR
ON LITTLE BOY
His Hands were a Solid Mass, and
Disease Spread All Over His Body
?In Four Days the Child was
Entirely Cured? Mother Strongly
RECOMMENDS CUTICURA
SOAP AND OINTMENT
"One day wo noticed that our little
boy was all broken out with itching
j sores. \V.> first noticed it on his little 1
| hands, llis hands were not as bad !
! then, and we didn't think anything
serious would result. But the next day ]
we heard of the Cuticura Remedies being 1
so good for itching sores, etc., that 1
thought 1 would get them. By this '
time the disease had spread all over his j
< body, and his hands were nothing but
a solid mass ?f this itching disease. I
went to the drug store and purchased
a box of Cuticura Soap and one box of
Cuticura Ointment, and that night I
stripped my little boy and took the
Cuticura Soap and lukewarm water and
washed him well. Then I dried hint
with a soft bath towel, and took the
Cuticura Ointment and rubbed him
thoroughly with it. I did this every
evening before I put him to bed and in
three or four nights he was entirely
cured. You have my permission to
publish this because anybody who suf
fered as my baby did ought to know of ,
the Cuticura Remedies. I will surely i
and gladly recommend the Cuticura i

"O heavens!"
"What's the matter?"
"The key. Mother told me to be
rare and take It. I forgot It."
"Well?"
"Mother has gone out to spend the
evening with Mrs. Totnklns, futher Is
at the club and the maid was called
away yesterday to her sick mother."
"That means that there Is no one
to let us In and we must wait on the
?teps till some one comes home."
"1 am afraid so."
"This Is the house'/"
"Yes; fourth from the end of the
block. I wonder If It Is third or fourth
?fourth, I'm sure."
"What made you hesitate?" **
"Don't you know we only moW in
last week?"
"Oh, yes; 1 forgot."
They sit down on the stone step and
talk of a small party they have attend
ed. The step Is cold; so Is the wind.
"What kind are the window catch
es?" he asked.
"Old fashioned. These houses are
all old fashioned."
"I wonder If I_can turn one of them
with my knife blade?"
He steps to a balcony on which the
front windows open. Inserts his knife
blade and tries to move the catch.
He falls. He rattles the sash. It is
very loose. He puts both hands In po
sition to act as levers on the sash and
pushes. Something gives way, and
the sash goes up. Watching him from
the stoop, she sees him disappear In
the window.
"Why Is he so long? He must have
gone In to light up and open the door
for me."
She waits for him at the door, but
since he doesn't come she climbs over
the rail on to the balcony and stands
at the window. Seeing or hearing
nothing, she calls:
"Where are you?"
"Here Inside."
i "What are you doing?"
"Sitting on some one."
"Good gracious! What do you
mean?"
"As soon as the window went up I
felt myself seized by Borne one? a man,
I suppose? who dragged me In through
the window. I put my arm around him
and downed him."
"Oh, my goody gracious!"
"I wonder If we've got In the wrong
house."
"Why don't you ask him?"
"I have asked him who he Is and
what he meant by grappling me, but
all I can get out of blm Is 'N'lx fur
stay." He must be a German. Any
way, he doesn't seem to understand."
"How provoking! What In the
world are we going to do?"
"Lucky he doesn't holler. We'd be
caught red handed In an act of bur
glary. The house can't be yours."
"Oh, dear! Did I say the fourth
house from the end ot the row? Come
to think of it. lfs the fifth."
"Maybe lfs the fiftieth." This In a
dissatisfied tone.
"That's positively cruel. How can I
be expected to know the position of a
house I've not lived In a week?"
"How long am I to sit on this man?"
"I'll call the police."
"If you do I'll spend the time set
apart for our honeymoon In Jail."
"Can't you leave him. Jump out of
the window and run for It?"
"And have him yelling 'Stop thief!'
and I run Into a cop's arms? That's n
brilliant Idea."
"Gott In hlinmel! Ugh! Um!" from
the man underneath, struggling.
"Shut up!"
"What In the world will be the end
of this? We'll be arrested, and tho
least we can expect Is that It will all
be In the papers tomorrow morning,"
from the girl.
"If I knew the Inside of this house 1
could lock him up somewhere," from
the young man.
"Hans! Vas 1st?" This comes from
upatulra.
The young burglar claps his hand
over Hans' mouth.
A light Is coming and the sound of
steps on the staircase. A young wo
man In night robe peeps cautiously
over the banister and gives a shriek.
"For heaven's sake keep quiet Do
you speak English?" cried the burglar
in anguish.
"Yah. Vot'a d' matter?"
"Tell thW man In German, If he un
derstands German t-nd Isn't a deaf
mute, that I got In here by mistake.
I'll let him up If he'll let me out of It
peaceably."
"It was all my mistake," called the
girl outsldo. "I live In this block, the
fourth or fifth house from the end? I
don't remember. Oh, do please tell
him. Is he your husband?"
"My tusband! Neln! You think I
am old votnan!"
"Oh, dear, I'm so unlucky! I mako
nothing but mistakes tonight."
"Will you kindly cease to make any
more mistakes till after we have got
out of this?" says the young man Im
patiently. Then to the woman on the
stairs, "Tell him, please."
There was a parley In German,
which the trespassers did not under
stand. At last the Interpreter said the
man was satisfied. Then he was per
mitted to arise.
"I don't know how I came to make
?uch a mistake," said the girl as they
moved away.
**Ndr I," said the young man senten
ttdbsly.
"Here comes mother. Mother, what's
our number?"
"Forty-six. Thafs not It. Seventh
house from the east end."
The young man went home without
the usual klaa.
