Mrs. Mike rather Hked the exercise at first and spent -a most delightful summer, but with the drrival of the fall rains her .daily exercising task became less pleasant and she protested with Michael, whereupon the latter threw the family cuspidor at her. Cuspidors are repulsive to even Mrs. Benakovischski, and she informed the neighbors of what her husbind had done. It was then that Mr. Woodworth invited the gallant Mr. Benakovischski -to town.
