.mg strain.^ about it,”
growica i’erry, an wiiut hi® wife
called his “bulldog” wuee. “I sup
pose you want to know him because
he has the reputation of being a
lady killer.”
“Perry!”
“I am told by fellows we both
know that he prides himself on his
beauty.”
A week later both families were
settled in the row 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 thoughtlessly
that one good feature of suburban
life was having the Thornes for
neighbors.
“Where have you evej- met Mrs.
Thorne?” asked his wife suspicious
ly.
“Don’t know her from Adam, my
dear, but isn’t she your friend, and
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. But you are so susceptible
and she is so giddy I just know you
will set people talking.”
“Great Caesar, Laura! You give
your best friend a great send off. 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 natured.
Mrs. Smead, like the woman of
history, had two trea=ur^—bet
sewing machine and her nuchas—
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.
iid Furnish- !
A great throng 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
Amos Smead, who had struck up 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
caught 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 man standing next to kirn in a
friendly way:
“Nice way to spend the summer,
bring in the suburbs?”
“Yes, if you don’t care what you
say.” growled the man.
Then Smfead took a bit of paste
board from his pocket and began
to study it.
“Southeast corner, Terrace row,
Oakland.”
Smead 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
gift the atmosphere to keep thf
mosquitoes from choking you.”
That sounded discouraging, but
Smead was not anxious to ride ter
miles farther on an accommodation
train that slowed up for every cox
on the track, and he wrapped him
self in a speculative reverie until tfcv
brakeman called “O-a-k-l-a-n-d !” a-
if only the deaf lived at that sta
tion.
Mrs. Smead was waiting for het
husband, whom she ou th*-
6:30 train, but the r-'i' i«d come
and gone, and H.sieiu. oi me band
therein by herself.
“The windows are nailed down. 1
have been waiting for Perry to open
them, so he cannot escape that
way,” she concluded.
“I expected Amos on the last
train. I don’t see what is keeping
him,” said Mrs. Smeac, “bat he has
not come yet.”
“Neither has Perry, but perhaps
they will come together. Isn’t it
dreadful? I daren’t go back with
that man in the house. I know by
his looks he is r murderer. Our
S ri hasn’t come, and I’m all alone,
h, if Mr. Smead were only here!”
“I guess I’ll do just as well,” said
Mrs. Smead coldly. “I will taks
our revolver, and you can bring the
stove lifter, and we will interview
him through the door.”
“But what good will that do? He
may s-h-o-o-t first!”
“Come on,” said Mrs. Snaead con
temptuously. She was only a young
matron herself, but she was not go
ing to be ignominiously routed by a
one man army, and she led the way
to her neighbor’s cottage. No oth
er people lived in the row, so 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- j
pected him on this train.”
“I haven’t seen him. Who is the 1
man ?”
“A burglar, and he’s locked up j
in the library. Don’t you think I j
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 tin key, Maud.
I’ll take your revolver, Mrs. Smead. .
Now, ladies, stand aside,” and Perry j
made a valiant rush for the library :
door, which he unlocked and threw J
open, at the same time presenting
arms according to the best manual
practice.
“Don’t shoot!” cried a familiar
voice that trembled, not with fear,
but merriment, as Mr. Smead step
ped smilingly forward and bowed
low to Maud. “I am Mrs. Thorne’s j
captive,” he said.
“What does this mean?” cried I
Perry, his face flaming.
“Yes, what does it mean?” de
manded Mrs. Smead in the measur
ed syllables of the divorce fcourt.
“It means,” explained Mr. Smead, I
“that my wife has not yet learned
to box the compass. She gave me I
‘southwest,’ and your wife locked j
me up in a room that has no veniila- *
tion and under a criminal ban. But j
I forgive her,'” he added, with gal- i
lant protest, whereat Maud’s cheeks j
grew red with embarrassment, and
Mrs. Smead said:
“Com* 1 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. Smead,” said
Maud penitently, while Perry glar
ed darkly like a jealous stage lover, 1
“but yon 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 t
his colors,’“and with this parting j
shot he followed his wife to the ,
“southeast” cottage.—Detroit Free
Press.
Waited For Himself.
One of the .::t st and best stories
of absentminielness concerns a
Pennsylvania professor. Being call
ed out on some urgent matter re
cently and expecting to be engaged
for some hours, he affixed a notice
to the door of his private sanctum
stating that he would not be back
till 3 o’cl-j k in the afternoon. As
it happened, he able to get away
earlier and arrived back at his cham
bers a little before 2 o’clock- See
ing his own notice, which he had
quite forgotten, on the door, he re*
it carefully. When he had tho
aughly digested its content*, he toe
a seat on the stain and waited j J
tientlv until 3 o’clock.
