**Tt ie^ t because 1 am tired of on
flat .hat I want to live in the nb-
urbe, but the doctor says wo <>th
need change,” concluded Mrs. Perry
Thon..:, who was making lie* find
plea for country life. " \ -J, .•>!,.
Perry, I know of such s' riar cot
tage, me Ci a row. V. c Sc.cu ' i<»
one in t e same row, srd she ^o!d
me ab<<ut oar?. It is the south c.-t
corner hou6e, while hers is the
southeast. Isn’t it strange, Perry,
that I have never been introduced
to Mr. Smead? i wouldn't believe
there was auy such person if I had
not seen him.”
“Nothing strange about it,"
growled Perry, in what his wife
palletT his “hulldog” voice. “I sup
pose you want to know him because
he has the reputation of being a
lady killer.”
‘Terry!”
“I am told bj fellows we both
know that he prides himself on his
beauty.”
• *•*«»«
A week later both families were
settle<l in the rew which fronted a
street and a railroad track and was
equidistant from two depots.
Mr. Smead did not take as kindly
to the change as Perry Thorne did,
but he told His wife though tlesaly
that one good feature of suburban
life was having the Thornes for
neighbors.
“Where have you ever met Mrs.
Thorne?” asked his wife suspicious
ly*
“Don’t know her from Adam, my
dear, but isn’t she your friend, ana
haven’t I heard her praises sung
ever since we were married ?”
“H’m! We have a calling ac
quaintance, and now that we are to
be neighbors I suppose you will
meet. Bat you are so susceptible
and she is so giddy I just know yon
will set people talking."
“Great Caesar, Laura! You give
your be3t friend a great send ofL I
susceptible and she giddy! We
must be made for each other.”
Mrs Smead looked volumes at
her handsome husband, but where
is the man who does not enjoy be
ing a bone of contention among his
women folk, and if Smead had a
special and particular virtue it was
that of being good nmtured.
Mrs. Smead, like the woman of
history, had two treasures—her
sewing machine and her husband—
and she drew the line at lending
either, and if people wanted to call
her selfish they might. Fortified by
this law, she rented the southwest
cottage.
***•*••
A great thronir of people was hur
rying homeward, and all bore the
happy burdens of Saturday night—
new shoes for the feet of the little
burden bearers, a new bonnet for
mother, the Sunday dinner—and
among them Perry Thorne and
Amoa Smead, who had struck np a
neighbors’ acquaintance and were
now hastening to the same train,
going out to their suburban homes
for their first Sabbath of rest. They
were both laden to the ears with
brown paper packages and had just
time to make the train after pur
chasing their commutation tickets.
They went loping through the gates
in approved suburban style and
eaught on just as the train moved
out, and then Perry shouted in a
voice that sounded above the roar
of escaping steam:
“We’ve left our Sunday dinners
on the window stand of the ticket
office. You go on, Smead, and I’ll
take the next train out”
He swung himself clear of the
train, turned a somersault and
waved “all right” to Smead, who
mopped the cinders and perspira
tion from his face and remarked to
the tn*n standing next to Mm in s
friendly way:
“Nice way to spend the sunnier,
living in the suburbs?”
"Yes, if you don’t care what you
eav/’ growled the man.
Then Smead took a bit of
board from his pocket and
to study it.
“Southeast corner, Tsrraoe row,
Oakland.”
Sinead asked his gruff neighbor
If he got off at that station.
“No, I don’t," said the man.
“You couldn’t hire me to live in
that swamp. I go out ten miles
farther, where you don’t have to
sift the atmosphere to keep the
mosquitoes from choking you.”
That sounded discouraging, but
Smead was not anxious to ride ten
miles farther on an accommodation
train that slowed up for every cow
on the track, and he wrapped him
self in a speculative reverie until the
brakeman called “0-a-k-l-*-n-d!” as
if only the deaf lived at that sta
tion.
Mrs. Smead was waiting for her
husband, whom she expected on tht
6:30 train, but the train had com#
and gone, and instead of the hand
some, well groomed Mr. Smead s
frantic woman, her neighbor, Mr*
Thorne, rushed into her cottage.
“I’ve caught him!” she griped
“Ko’s locked up m the library. Oh;
Oh! Oh!”
‘'('aught whom?” asked the mys
tified women. Then, seeing . ri hex
distracted visitor was vei_ near
fainting, she collect A restoratives
anu brought back Mrs. TTior-ie’s
scattered wits.
Maud e.'o!ained as soon a* she
could speak that a desperate looking
Pjsq—a burglar, she was certain,
aau a con ret as well by the cri oi
his hair had feloniously entered
her house a moment before she
came and, walking boldly into her
library, had been locked safely
therein by herself.
"The windows are down. 1
have been waiting for Perry to open
them, so he cannot escape that
way,” she concluded.
“I expected Amo.- on the last
train. 1 don’t see what is keeping
him,” said Mrs. Smead, “but he has
not come yet.”
“Neither has Perry, but perhaps
they will come together. Isn’t it
dreadful? I daren’t go back with
tlist uiua in the house. I knew by
his looks he Is a murderer. Our
1 hasn’t come, and ITn all alone.
h, if Mr. Smead were only here!”
“I guess 1 11 do just as well,” said
Mrs. Smead coldly. “I trill taks
our revolver, and you can bring ths
stove lifter, and we will interview
him through the door.”
“But what good will that de? Hs
may s-h-o-o-t first 1”
“Come on,” said Mr* Smead con
temptuously. She was only a young
matron herself, but she was set go
ing to be igncminiously routed by a
4uc iRT-' army, and oLe led tL* w&.J
to her neighbor's cottage. No oth
er people lived in the row, se they
had all the fun to themselves.
But at that identical moment the
7:40 train, sometimes called the
husbands’ train, so many of them
went out to spend the week’s inter
val with their families, stopped at
the- nearest depot, and Perry
Thorne, with his double load of
packages, hove in sight. Both wo
men were overjoyed to see him.
“What’s the row?” he asked,
dropping his bundles on the veran
da.
“A man!” said both women at
once.
“Where is Smead ?”
“That is what I would like to
know,” said Mrs. Smead. “I ex
pected him on this train.”
“I haven’t seen him. Who is the
man ?”
“A burglar, and he’s locked up
in the library. Don’t you think I
was brave?” asked Maud, who, now
that her husband had come, felt
that she might pose as a heroine.
“Burglars already? H»», this is a
diversion. Give me tb' key, Maud.
IT1 take your revolver, Mrs. Smead.
Now, ladies, stand aside,” and Perry
made a valiant rush for the library
door, which he unlocked and threw
open, at the same time presenting
arms according to the best manual
practice.
“Don’t shoot!” cried a familial
voice that • trembled, not with fear,
but merriment, as Mr. Smead step
ped smilingly forward and bowed
low to Maud. “I am Mrs. Thome’i
captive,” he said.
“What does this mean?” cried
Perry, his face flaming.
“Yes, what does it mean?” de
manded Mrs. Smead in the measur
ed syllables of the divorce court
“It means,” explained Mr. Smead,
“that my wife has not yet learned
to box the compass. She gave ms
‘southwest,’ and your wife locked
me up in a room that has no ventila
tion and under a criminal ban. But
I forgive her,” he added, with gal
lant protest, whereat Maud's cheeks
grew red with embarrassment, and
Mrs. Smead said:
“Come home! After this I will
meet you at the train and see that
you don’t get into the wrong house.”
“Do forgive me, Mr. Sinead,” said
Maud penitently, while Parry glar
ed darkly like a jealous stage lover,
“but you did look so—-so”—
“She said you looked like a con
vict,” remarked his wife.
“At least it has made us acquaint
ed,” observed Mr. Smead, true to
Ids colors, and with this parting
•hot he followed his wife to the
“southeast” cottage.—Detroit Pres
Press.
