BOWSER BUYS A BIRD

IHis Heart Beats With Sympathy For Forlorn Parrot and Owner. GLORIES IN VIRTUOUS DEED.

Death of Forlorn One, Bowser Asserts, Due to a Broken Heart and to Mrs. Bowser—Divorce and Alimony Spoken of Again, (Copyright, 1908, by T. C. McClure.]

THERE was astonishment in the Bowser residence the other owning when Mr. Bowser came home from the otiice acoteVioriniiid .'by a hoy and a parrot, the Vu-’ya v. The boy was in a i :r. : ; . : , a n ay, and he had depart*" <<! ■ M:• ••. Bowser got breath !i < •' :!:n: . : (!■ n't mean that you’ve gone 'am;!

Please refer to it as >;uc!i. hereafter.” •‘But what is it doing here?” •‘lt is here by my wishes. Iu fact, It is myproperty, and I warn you here and now that if you vent your spite on the lard there will be a settlement between us.” The cage was placed in the sitting room, and, with a farewell wave of his hand to Polly, Mr. Bowser led the way down to the dining room. When the meal had fairly begun he said: ■‘Mrs. Bowser, perhaps I owe you an explanation. 1 have brought home a parrot.” “Yes, I know, and I can’t get over my amazement. More than a hundred times I have heard you say that you'd

like to take a crowbar and knock the bead off every poll parrot In the land.” "I may have made such a remark, but it was probably made unthinkingly and without reference to my heart.” “What has your heart got to do with bringing home a frouzy old bird like that? She’s a perfect fright to look at, and I’ll warrant that her temper Is as bad as her looks.” “My heart has this to do with it, Mrs. Bowser. When I see even a bird hungering for food and a kind word my heart beats in sympathy. It was altogether a sympathetic move on my part.” “Oh, it was? I haven’t seen any

sympathy on your part when I hungered for gloves and handkerchiefs and hosiery.” Hit Heart Touched. Mr. Bowser flushed up and glared across the table at her, and the remainder of the dinner was finished In silence. On reaching the sitting room he walked three or four times around the battered old cage bolding .poll and then said: “The circumstances were these: That boy came into the office as I was about ready to start for home and wanted to sell me the bird. He Is an Italian boy. This has been his pet parrot and playmate for the past two years, but owing to the hard times he could no longer keep her. Tears rolled down his cheeks ns lie said that he had eaten nothing for two days.” “And the tears melted your heart?*’ “They did. Besides being hungry, the boy was heartbroken nt the idea that his pet bird must go to a stranger, perhaps to some one who would take an ax to her instead of speaking kindly. Then the bird herself looked at me with a sorrowful appeal In her eyes, and I could no longer resist.” “I see how it was with you," replied Mgs. Bowser. "You bought a new milk cow once because you thought she switched her tall In a sorrowful manner.” "If It pleases you to assume the attitude you do, go ahead, but I know my duty and shall do It. This case has called out my fullest sympathy. Immediately on purchasing Tolly I sent out and procured food for her and the boy as well. A hearty meal has made a wonderful change in her. She Is now feeling that life may still hold something for her and that there Is at least one human being on earth that cares whether she lives or dies ” “She doesn’t look ns If she had a feeling of any kind.” Mr. Bowser had to mentally admit the fact. The ragged and dusty old bird sat on the perch with hanging head and Closed eyes and seemed, utterly oblivious of her surroundings. Even the family cat was disgusted at sight of her. “The house Is strange to her,” exclaimed Mr. Bowser, “and there cannot be the least doubt that she feels you are inimical to her. She falls to catch a sympathetic note In your voice —a heartiness In your welcome. The result is that she is placed In an embarrassing position.” “It’s news to me that an old parrot can he embarrassed.” “Perhaps so. I Lmd no hope from the first that you would make her welcome or have any sympathy for the poor boy that had to part with her. He had to hasten from the door to keep you from seeing the tears In his eyes. Another moment and he would have burst into sobs.” “Another moment, if he had seen a policeman coming, he’d have jumped off the stoop and over the fence. He no doubt stole bird and cage somewhere. How much did your sympathetic heart dictate that you should pay for the outfit?” Sir. Bowser treated the question with the contempt it deserved, and there was a long interval of silence before he said:

“I can realize the feelings of this bird. She doesn’t wish to be under any obligations to you. I positively forbid you to give her food or drink. I will attend to those things myself. And In the same breath I warn you against any malevolence. If I come home any evening and find her with a broken leg or lying dead, there will be a cataclysm around here. I shall be able to lay mv hand on the murderer without trouble.” Sirs. Bowser made no reply to that, but went down to the kitchen to tell the ceok about breakfast. Left alone and his heart still molting with sympathy, Mr. Bowsey reached into the cage to take Poll off her roost and tell her how welcome she was to the house. She didn’t come off the porch. On the contrary, she hung there and gave him such a bite on the wrist that he went dancing about the room and using bad words, Ills sympathetic heart got a bad jar. but he had to conceal the fact front Mrs. Bowser, who had no sooner returned than she asked: “What were you cavorting around the room for Just now?" “I wasn’t cavorting.” “And. who were you talking to?” “No one.” Site seemed to doubt him, but nothing more was said, and after smoking a cigar and glancing over the evening paper Poll was carefully covered up, the cat locked in the kitchen, and the Bowser family went upstairs to bed. Sleep had not yet come when there was a wild, weird shriek from below, and Mr. Bowser bounced up with the exclamation: “What on earth ails the eat?” Midnight Disturbance. “Nothing. It’s that old parrot of yours.” “But It* can’t bo. No parrot on earth”— There was a succession of gurgles, screams and shrieks, and Mr. Bowser ran to the head of the stairs. After listening a moment he said: “Mrs. Bowser, if that yaller eyed old eat of yours has murdered my parrot I will have blood in repayment!" “You know the cat is locked up,” shb answered. “It’s that bird. There she goes again. She’s lonesome for you, or else she’s trying to swallow her own feet. Why don’t you go down and see? If she keeps that noise up much longer, we’ll have the police In here.” “Where—where is my revolver?” "Nobody knows, and you don’t need It anyway. Go right down and tell poor Polly how your heart beats for her and how mine doesn’t, and she may ehut up. If she doesn’t you will have to sit up with her all night.” Several further shrieks sent Mr. Bowser .down the stairs, and as h£

lighted the gas nnd advanced to the cage the bird uttered one terrific shriek and fell off the perch and kicked its last. “What Is It?” asked Mrs. Bowser from the top of the stairs. Mr. Bowser did not answer. He reached into the cage and gave the dead body a cuff, and then, taking the cage to the door, he gave It a heave Into a snowdrift alongside the fence. "What was It?” repeated Mrs. Bowser as he came upstairs with shivers chasing up nnd down his spine. “Whnt was It? What was It?" he shouted. “It was that you broke that poor bird's heart, and she is dead of grief, and tomorrow morning you can take the train for your mother’s and stay there while the lawyers arrange the divorce and alimony.” /

Too Much.

“Do you think that Miss Kidder was having fun with me?” asked Chawley “Well, old chap, give me the details.” was Awthur’* response. “You see, I had my bull terrier with me. And I said to her. ‘That dog knows- as much as I do.’ And she said, ‘Don’t you think .$4.50 was too much to pay for him?”’—Cleveland Deader.

PERIL IN ABUSING UNCLE SAM.

Bill Tompkins once expected to be made Consul to The capital of Portugal or Siam or Peru; And when he didn’t get it he began to loudly shout, “The Government is rotten and this country without doubt Is going to the dogs as fast as any country can,” Which was libeling the nation, said a Secret Service man, So he yanked him to jail Under very heavy bail, And the Government will sue him • For a million, more or less; For a libel is a libel. And an angry diatribe’ll Get a fellow into trouble When it's hurled at the U.**S. Jim Wilkins wrote a letter to his wife requesting that She ship his 1 laundry to him and also his other hat Jim was a traveling .salesman and he needed those things sore. But the letter didn’t reach her, which accounts for Wilkin’s roar “The postal service nowadays is getting worse and worse, It was bad in the beginning, but today it is a curse.” But a Secret Service, copper Got to Wilkins good and proper, And the jury now is working On the question of intent; For a libel is a libel, Whether personal or bribal, So be careful what you say About our Government. When the weather man deceives you, prophesying weather fair, And, believing his prediction, you walk out to get the air, Should it start to rain, forget it, get to shelter if you can, But launch no maledictions on the fickle weather man; Don’t impugn his motives noble or question his veracity, You’re apt to get in trouble, if you’re given to loquacity, For a Secret Service sleuth, Wh6 is on the job, in truth May charge you with a libel That is criminal and base; And the Government will get you, It will lock yon up and sweat you, And you’ll owe the nation money If you cannot prov@ your case. —Detroit Free Press. ■-

AS IT HAPPENED

On the third day of the honeymoon he observed: “Some said it was certainly Sartlea, and some said it was Sir Herbert, .but nobody said it was me. Yet I was chosen and they were rejected. Why?" “You don’t want to know, and I don’t want to tell you ” “But I do want to know. You didn't care for me in the least I have no Illusions about myself. lam not nearly so good looking as Sartles, who certainly proposed to you at the GarstlnVenn’s dance. Neither am I nearly so wealthy as that amiable and elderly knight, Sir Herbert, who unquestionably spoke to your father on the subject." “That was just the reason why I married you.” “What! Because I was plainer than Sartles and poorer than Sir Herbert?" ‘‘The same thing, but put rather differently. You were much better (looking than Sir Herbert and much richer than Sartles. You’re quite right about the Garstln-Venn’s dance. Mr. Sartles did propose then, and I did not refuse him—not at the moment.” “Do I not know It? Was not his face transfigured?” “He was terrifically handsome.” She shrugged her shoulders. “What idiots girls are! I’m utterly tired of that Greek god business now. I think a man who Is as handsome as all that always looks a little vulgar or even effeminate, which is worse. Mr. Sarties looked both; but, being a girl, I was also an idiot, and I did not refuse him. But I did not accept him either. I postponed—l spoke to papa.” “And your father said that Sartles was a pauper?” “A pauper and a buffoon and a grinning ape and a liar. You know, dear papa never did like men who played the violin. He had an Interview with papa, and papa was very rude, and Mr. Sartles wrote me a perfectly horrible letter which was meant to he sarcastic. So that finished it.” “And then?” , “Then Sir Herbert came along, and papa said that here was an honorable, upright gentleman who could well afford to maintain me in a proper position in life. Papa said he did not dream of coercing me in any way and that I was to make an absolutely free choice, and he would not let me refuse him finally. On the other hand, I would not accept him. How could I? Why, he was old—forty if he was a day. (Oh, Edward, dearest, do let us never not be young!) And then he was hideous.” “And then I came in. I was the compromise—not too ugly for you and not too poor for your father. And you did not care for me in the least.”

M. QUAD.

“It was only that I did not know you well enough then. And papa always liked you.” “True. But I was not marrying your father.” “Girls are idiots! Oh, to think that I might have Insisted on marrying that Insufferable Mr. Sarties! Why did you make me tell you? It makes me feel so horrid! I can’t think how even a girl could have been the idiot I was. The only sensible thing that I did was that I did accept you. You don’t mind, do you? Not now?” “It has always been my opinion,” said her husband, “that the man who wins a race need not grumble very much that he did not get a good start.’’ “And you have won—most completely.” She paused and then said pensively: “Do you know, I did not think you were really very fond of me either —Just at first. You asked me just now why I accepted you. Now, tell me, why did you ask me to marry you?” He smiled, paced the room once or twice and replied in her own words: “You don’t want to know, and I don’t want to tell you.” “Then you didn’t—not just at first. I was right. Then why on earth did you ask me to marry you? No; stop. Don’t tell me. You made me tell you, but I don’t want you to tell me. A woman’s wiser than a man there, and yet some men say that women are curious. As a rule, they don’t want to know half the things that men insist on telling them. So you didn’t love me at first? I understand, of course. I can’t help understanding. AVas she as pretty as I am—that other girl who refused you Just before you proposed to me? What an idiot she must have been! But, of course, girls always are idiots. I’ve said that before. It doesn’t matter a bit when you come to think it oyer. We got engaged without being a bit in love with each other, but it turned out all right as it happened.” “Yes,” he said, “it turned out very particularly all right as it happened. One doesn’t deserve one’s luck,” he added solemnly. She gave a sigh’of relief. “I’m rather glad it was the same for the both of us,” she i said, “because that means it wasn’t different for either, doesn’t it?” He assented. There was nothing else that he could have done. She leaned back in the easy chair (saddlebag type, common to riverside inns that play at being hotels) and clasped her hands at the back of her head. "I’m so—so happy!” she murmured ecstatically.'—Black and White.

A man applied at the marriage buteau the other day for a license. He was alone,, and the clerk asked him where his prospective wife was. “Why, ,1 don’t know, sir,” he replied, In evident surprise. "We can’t give you a license unless she comes here with you and signs the books,” was the reply. "Well,” he explained, *?I don’t see how I’m golnJ to bring her. I ain’t decided which one it’s goin’ to be yet.” And he went away crestfallen.—New York Poet
