J SOLD AT ALL DRUGC35T5 L u * IN THE It isn't because I am tired of our flat that I want to live in the sub urbs, but the doctor says we both need change,” concluded’Mrs. Perry Thorne, who was making her first plea for country life. “And, oh. Perry, I know of such a dear cot tage, one of a row. Mrs. Sinead has one in the same row,'and she told me about ours. It is the southwest corner house, while hers is the southeast. Isn’t it strange, Pcrrv, that 1 have never been introduced to Mr. Sraead ? I wouldn’t believe there was any such person if I had not seen him.” “Nothing strange about it,” growled Perry. - in whsT bis wife called his “bulldog” voice, “I sup pose you want to know him because he has the reputation of beiru a iadv killer.” “Perry!” C T 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 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- uaintance, and now that we are to 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 rive 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 when 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 treasures—bee sewing'machine and her husband— and son drew the line at lending either, and lf people wanted to caU her selfish they might. Fortified by this law, she rented the southwest cottage. • • • * . • • * 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 Thome 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 him in • friendly way: “Nice way to spend the summer, living in the suburbs ?” “Yes, if you don’t care what you sav.” growled the man. Then Smead took a bit of paste board from his pocket and began to study it. “Southeast comer, 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 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 brakemon called “O-e-k-l-a-n-d! aa if only the deaf lived at that sta- tl(HL . , # i Mrs. Sinead was waiting for her husband, whom she expected on the 6:30 train, but the train had come tfnd gone, and instead « «w ns ad •ome, well groomed Mr. Smead t frantic woman, her neighbor, Mrs “ -Thorne, rushed into her cottage. . “I’ve caught him!” she gasped - ‘Tie’s locked up in the library. Oh) Oh! Oh!” "Caught whom?” asked the mys tified woman. Then, seeing that hei distracted visitor was very near fainting, she collected restoratives and brought back Mrs. Thorpp’s scattered wits. • ■* • *• Maud explained as soon as she could speak that a desperate looking man—a burglar, she was certain, and a convict as well by the cut ol his hair—had feloniously entered her house a moment before she came and, walking boldly into hei library, had been locked safely 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 Amo- on the last train. I don’t see ; v at is keeping him,” said Mrs. Sinead, *‘but he has not eo:ne yet.” — “Neither hns Perry, hr.t perhaps i they will come together. : Isn’f it dreadful? I daren’t go back with that man in the house. I ki?pw- by his looks he is a murderer. Our girl hasn’t come, and I’m all alone. Oh, if Mr. Sinead were only herd!” “I guess I’ll do just as well,” said Mrs. Smead coldly. “I will take our revolver, and you can bring the stove lifter, and ws will interview him through the door.” “But what good will that do? He may s-h-o-o-t first 1” “Come on,” said Mrs. Smead 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 pected him on this train.” “I haven’t seen him. Who to the man?” “A burglar, and he’s locked up in the library. Don’t you think 1 was brave?” asked Maud, who, now that her husband had come, felt that she might poee as a heroine. “Burglars already? Ha, this is a diversion. Give me tte key, Maud, I’ll 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. <r 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 captive,” he said. “What doe3 this mean?” cried Perry, his face flaming. “Yes, what does it mean. 9 ” 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. Smead,” said Maud penitently, while Perry 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 his colors, and with this parting shot he followed'his wife to the “southeast* cottage.—Detroit Free Press. 9 Waited For Himself.
