Mr. Bowser betray the fact when lie
canto home to dinner the other evening
Hint he hml anything of unusual impor
tance 011 hard. U was only after din
ner that ho tool; a small pasteboard
Ih>x from his pocket and said:
"Mrs. Bowser, do you know what
our home has lacked for many years
past ?"
"Yes; it has lacked furniture." she
replied.
"I'm! You euu't speak without get
ting off something sarcastic, can you?
There has been something lacking to
make It a home. 1 have felt it, and If
you were it different kind of woman
you wolUd also have noticed It. As for
"WoM/.X, TUIS IS TOO M( PH? TOO Ml'Cli !
t lie furniture. It's good enough. and if
you sco liny now In l ho next tcu years
you'll l>e lucky."
"We've got ? colT nn ax. a
hammer, a cat aud a gimlet.'1 she said
after n moment's thought, "and I enn't
think of anything else."
"But when wo sit here of an even
ing. you and 1. and the house Is quiet
and we are thinking of days gone by.
what do we miss?"
"You don't uieuu the yeowl of cats?"
"No, uor the yells of loafers. Mrs.
Bowser, haven't you got a red eeut's
worth of sentiment In jour makeup?"
"Of course I have, hut why don't you
toll me what yon are try iusr to net at?
Has it anything to do with that i>ox?"
"It has all to do. The other rainy
evening when we sat here by ourselves
I noticed how unnaturally still the
house was. The Ptillr.ess got on to ui.v
nerves -no cat purring on the hearth,
no rats gnawing In the partitions, no
mice squealing. Just the drip of the ;
ralu and the solemn tick of the clock.
I looked at you. and you seemed to
have suddenly grown ten years older."
"Thanks, Mr. Bowser. 1 was proba
bly wonderlug how to get 50 cents out
of you for u new pair of stockings."
"Suddenly it struck me that what I
missed was the song of a cricket. The
song that would have brought cheer to
us was not here. I then and there
made up my mind that the want should
he supplied as soon as possible."
"And you've got a cricket in that
box
"I have. A farmer brought it In to
mo today, and I gave up a dollar for
It. 1 am uow going to put hint down
on the hearth and lot him find his
home, and within ten minutes he'll be
tnging in a way to rejoice your heart
There he goes."
"And you call that a cricket?" ejac
(?' tod Mrs. Bowser after regarding the
Insect for a moment.
"You don't suppose I'm Idiot enough
to o II It a rhinoceros, do you?"
"But it isn't, a cricket at all. It's
Jtts-t a big grasshopper."
"Nonsense!"
"But I toll you It's so. It's a big
grasshopper. Look at hi; wings and
his Ion - hind legs. \\ \y, that farmer
n. ust have taken you for a child or an
Idiot!"

Mr. Bow. r LuriK d , white as snow
and tl. ??! as red as a beet. Then he
bristled vp all o\ or and rose up and
said:

"V ; too intioh grasshopper."
"But If not a grasshopper!" he
shouted .it the top of his voice.

ever lived hi the country will tell you

We mi I'i'i quarrel over It, but that
farmer certainly sold yon a grasshop
per. Sing! Why. he'll never sing any
more than a piece of putty! Ho can't,
lie isn't built that way. He's built for
Jumping."
"Have you quite finished?" asked
Mr. Bowser In tones so quiet that they
were ominous.
"Yes, I suppose so."
"Then let me remark that this is a
cricket. It Is a singing cricket. He
will sing when he cots good and ready.
I'o will sine for me, and you will be
.. . out of it. In your envy and
' 'lor.sy houhl you so far forget your
-elf ns to haul ofT and hit him a swat
ivlth the broomstick 1 will make your
heart ache If I hive to live a hundred
years longer to do It. That's all."
"Don't l?e afraid nf my touching your
old grass Uopp??*."
?'.My cricket, you meuu."
.Mrs. Bowser [teased Into the library
and took down a volume of the ency
clopedia and returned with It. She
found quite a space devoted to the
?i "t. accompanied by an Illustration.
'.;\d ; lie asked:
"Does that picture of a cricket look
like your grasshopper?"
"Madam, the case was settled live
minutes ago. Please keep quiet. My
cricket has come to a strange house,
mid I wish him to get friendly and be
gin to slug. In passing, I may remark
that I do not care a rap for all the
ene.vc! <>edins on enrtli. For tlic first
sixteen years of my life 1 lived in the
count ry. I saw owls; I saw crows; I
saw crickets; 1 saw grasshoppers; I
saw toads. I do not think I have de
venerated Into such a blooming idiot
that I cauuot now tell one from the
other."
"Then 1 bad perhaps best go upstairs
uid give your? your Insect a chance to
feel at home and begin warbling?"
"It might be a very good Idea, mad
am a very good idea. I imagine there's
something about your voice lie doesn't
like."
Mrs. Bowser disappeared, taking the
cat with her, and Mr. Bowser picked
the insect oft' the floor and began to
closely examine him. lie bad believed
It a cricket. To be loyal to hiinseu he
{ must keen on believing. There were
the wiugs and the long legs, however,
if crickets didn't fly. and ho didn't be
lieve they did. of what use were the
wings? Tiie cricket, as lie remembered
him. hid In tlic crevices of the hearth
tone and sang songs. Then of what
use the long legs? The farmer was
an innocent looking man, b'gosli, but
had lie played a trick? Ilad lie sold
his Integrity for a dollar? No! Never!
It was a cricket all right, niul It was
ills place tj stick to it until death over
took him. V
Came to Talk Politics.
lie hail just put the Insect down
again and wan listening intently for a
few low notes of song wlion the door
bell rang, and be went to answer the
call. lie found Smith. Green and
Jones on the steps. They had come to
talk over ward polities with him. As
tliey entered the silling room he said:
"Roys, I've sot a prisoner here, and
you'll have to look out and not step
on hint. I've been wanting a cricket
for a long time, and a farmer brought
tue one today."
"Cricket <m the hearth. eJi?" laughed
Smith. "Ah, I see bin)! Say. you don't
??all this a erlcket. d<> yon?"
"Of course 1 do."
"Then they've cot a new breed since
1 was ii Imi.v. I should call this a
grasshopper."
"Sure it is." added Greeu. "Bowser,
did you think us as soft as that? We
were all brought up In the country, re
member."
"Yes, It's a grasshopper, and a
thumping big one," said Jones as a
clincher.
Mr. Bowser turned seven different
colors lu seven seconds. Ills first Idea
was to order the men outdoors, but he
saw It wouldn't do. They looked at
him and noticed Ills perturbation, and
Green said:
"Perhaps you are not feeling very
gay this evening. Bowser?"
"X-no."
"That's plain to be seeu, and we'll
I'ouie In tomorrow night. Come, boys."
And when they had gone Mr. Bowser
went downstairs and got the ax and
brought It up. Then he took off his
coat and vest, spat on his hands, seized
the instrument of death, and after one
awful blow the cricket was no more.
Then he went up to bed, and good Mrs.
Bowser never let him see the smile on
her face. M. QUAD.
