home the other evening he
W W was smiling Af* he took
off hit • :
klett. As Mr*. Bowser came out Into
the hull to greet him he bunt Into u
hearty laugh. She had rather expected
him to come home thut evening and de-
mand to m«*o the gas bill and declare
that she was burning too much coal
untl that there were half a dozen ex-
travagance* that must l»e cut out. and
her surprise over his great good nature
made her speech leas for a moment.
Then she asked:
•Has—has anything happened?”
• Nothing so very great,” he replied,
“but there's a little event to come off
In a couple of hours from now that
will make even the old cat laugh lia.
ha. ha!”
“I haven't heard you laugh so heart
ily in a dog's age. What event Is com
lug off? If you brought that grin all
the way home with you folks must
have concluded that you had drawn the
capital prize iu a lottery.”
•'You don’t know Wilkins.” said Mr
ltowser as they got seated nt the dinner
table. “He lives four or five blocks !*»
low us and has au office next to mine.
He Is a tall, lathy gandershanks, and
lie thinks lie's got Incipient eonsump
tion. He has begun to take exercise to
broaden Ills chest. He he— Ha, hn. I
ha!”
“Are you laughing at his consump-
tion ?”
“No, of course not. He wants to take
ltoxing lessons with It all, and he came
to me today to learn If 1 knew any-
thing of the art I told him I could box
a little bit. and lie’s coming up here to
night to get a few lesson*. Yes, he's —
he's”—
“I don't see where the laugh comes
In,” said Mrs Bowser as Mr. Bowser
had another tit of laughter.
“Then I'll tell you. You remember
wheu 1 had a teacher, don’t you? Well,
one night he hauled off and knocked
am. and she was afraid I might dam-
! age your husband. Perhaps we'd bet-
ter call It off.-'
"Hear him!” exclaimed Mr. Bowser
as he Hlap|»ed Ids leg and chuckled all
over. “I was telling Mrs Bowser that
1 guessed 1 had l*ottcr tie my hands
behind my back and let yon do all tbe
hitting, and here you are afraid for
uie! Well, that's funny!”
Mrs Bowser couldn't make Mr. Wil
kius out. He was either an amateur
with a heap of confidence back of him
or he understood himself and had an
object In view. She therefore had noth-
ing further to say. and the men disap-
peared upstairs. What occurred up
there she will never fully understand,
as neither man went Into particulars.
When they had reached the garret and
were stripping for the fray Mr. Bowser
uttered a chuckle ami said:
**N«»w. Wilkins, if I get to going too
hard you must call out.”
••Oh. certainly,” was the reply, “and
1 shall expect you to do the same. I
shouldn't want to lay you up for two
or three days.”
“I .a.v me up! Ha. ha. ha! Say. Wil-
kins. you are something of a humorist
in your way. We'll time ourselves as
near as we can for three minute
rounds, and if you feel like wanning
up come for me as hot as you please.”
“But 1 shall lie careful not to hurt
you. Your wife seemed rather anxious
on that point.”
“Oh, she did, eh? Ha. ha. ha! By
(leorge. but I baxen’t enjoyed myself
as well In a whole year! Are you
ready? Then, oue— two— three!”
Mr Wilkins squared off like a novice
and used his arms like au old woman,
and Mr. Bowser had to stop now and
then to laugh. The round closed with
out anybody having t*een hurt, and
when they stood up for the next Mr
Bowser went in to make it a rattler
To his great surprise his visitor man
aged to wart! or dodge all his blows
but by such awkwardness that it called
for smiles all tiie time. The third
seven bells out of me, and I carried
two black eyes for a week. 1 have nev-
er had a chance since to get even on
that, but now it has come. I'll play
with Wilkins for a few minutes, and
then nr—
“You'll choke yourself If you don't
look out. What are you going to do to
Mr. Wilkins?”
“I'll knock the head off his shoulders.
I'll feint with my left and then swing
my right, and when It lands on his
chin he won’t wake up for thirty min-
utes.”
“You won't do anything of the kind.
You ought to lie ashamed to think of it.
If the man is in poor health a hard
blow may kill him.”
“His health is all right, but he is fad-
dy. And when talking with me he
,xvas squaring off and shooting out his
left and telling how many men he was
going to lick after taking a few les
sons. He wants tuking down, and I'm
going to do it for him. I'll let him
tap me three or four times, and then
I’ll suddenly haul off and-ha. ha. ha!”
“It will t»e a mean trick If you do.”
observed Mrs. Bowser. "It seems to
me that a man of your standing should
tie In l>etter business. Suppose it gets
around the neighborhood that you are
a prize fighter? That would be a nice
thing for the papers, wouldn't It?
‘Bowser, the bruiser, knocks a tyro out
and nearly kills him!* I don’t want
anything of the kind to happen around
this house ”
“All right, my dear. I’ll treat him
like a two-year old. Only It Just struck
me that here was a chance to get back
and”—
Mrs. Bowser determined to put Mr
.Wilkins on his guard when he came
1n, and half an hour later he rang the
bell. He was invited to sit for a few
minutes liefore ascending to the gar
ret and at a proper moment was told
that Mr. Bowser sometimes got ex-
cited when he had the gloves on nnd
hit harder than he meant to.
“Y’es?” he answered. “Well, most
men are that way. I know 1 am. and
he will have to look out for himself a
little. Perhaps I ought to box him
with only one hand.”
At this statement Mr. Bowser laid
back in his chair and roared, and Mr.
Wilkins looked p.t him in a puzzled
way ami then said:
“Really, my dear madam, my wife
did not approve of my coming up here.
Bhe knows what a tremendous hitter I
round was to be a corker. Mr. Wilkins
was not to be murdered outright, but
he was to Ik? given some pointers in
the manly art to last him all the rest
of his life.
"1 may strike a little too hard, but
you know 1 told you to call out.” said
Mr. Wilkins us he stood up to the
mark.
"Go right In. my boy, to knock the
head out of the cider barrel nnd don't
mind me,” replied Mr. Bowser, ami
then he chuckled deep down iu his
cheat nt the crisis that was coming.
That right swing of his was due in the
* third round, ami he felt that he must
hang on to himself a bit and not break
Mr. Wilkins' neck and have a coroner’s
inquest on hand.
| The two mixed things up for a mlu-
| ute, and then Mr. Bowser's golden op-
portunity came. He saw the opening
and swung for It, and he had started to
chuckle when the house fell on him.
Roof, walls nnd everything gave way
at once, and his last remembrance was
seeiug the earnest face of Mr. Wilkins
before him. The visitor shortly after
made his appearance downstairs and
said to Mrs. Bowser.
“My dear madam, I am pained to tell
you that your husband Is lying iu a
peaceful sleep on the garret floor and
that It will be useless to try to waken
him for the next quarter of an hour.
He won’t die of It, but he will know
more about the manly art tomorrow.
Tell him that I thank him for the
pointers he has given me tonight. Good
night, madam.”
When Mr. Bowser opened his eyes
and looked around In a stupid way he
smelled camphor nnd saw Mrs. Bowser
bending over him.
‘ W what is It?” he asked.
“Nothing much, except that j /u have
stopped laughing.”
“But what is it. I say?”
“Hush! You picked up Mr. Wilkins
for a flut and set out to knock his head
off. Yours isn’t quite knocked off. but
there's a lump on your Jaw as big ns a
quart bowl. Rest yourself for ten min
ute#, and then the cook and I will see
If we can get you downstairs and to
bed without your neck facing around
the wrong way.” M. QUAD.
