McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) By M. QUAD. When Mr. Bowser came up to din- ner the other evening there was a let- ter awaiting hint which had come in the afternoon mail. It was a letter from a postmaster up the state. Ile opened it. and expressed a great satis- faction. Ile had no particulars to give out, and Mrs. Bowser had learned to repress her curiosity. Half an hour after they had gone upstairs Mr. Bowser began pacing the floor, as he always does when lie has got a little scheme on hand. By and by he suddenly made up his mind to unbosom himself, anti he sat down and drew the letter from his pocket and said: \Mrs. Bowser I hold a fortune In my hand.\ \Flas some one tiled and left you a legacy?\ she queried with a smile. \You know that paper is made of woodpulp?\ \I do.\ \They take wood and soften It up In some way so as to make a pulp of it. You follow me, don't you?\ \Yes. I underatand everything.\ \The papermnkers have tried in vain to firel a substitute for this woodpulp. They have even ground up old hats. They can make wrap- ping paper out of bootlegs, and straw stacks mid a kind of grass, but nothing but woodpuip makes the paper they want to make most, and whole forests have disappeared in the last two or three years.\ \Yes I have read about it several times,\ said Mrs. Bowser. \Your coming fortune has something to do with the woodpulp, hasn't It?\ \It has all to do with it, my dear, as you will soon learn. About a Month ago a stranger came Into my office and introduced himself as Mr. alley. He wanted to go to war and become a great general, but he could not do so unlesm he could make cer- tain business arrangements. He owns a tract of woodland, comprising 1,000 acres. It was worth $15 an acre, but he would sell it to noe for $10, and give me plenty of time to pay for it. That Is, I am to pay him half down In cash and he takes a mortgage on the land for three years. Those are very favor- able terms. and they could not have been offered ale, except that Mr. Riley was anxious to he a general.\ \Well?\ was the query. \Ile said that about half a dozen paper manufacturers were after that woodland, but he would give me the preference. There are trees enough on that land to keep 10 paper mills going night and day for a year. The new supply of woodpuip will bring down the price of white paper fully 50 per cent. I buy that land at $10 faultfinding! Call a man a sharper because he, Is willing to show you how to make a small fortune. Mrs. Bowner, If you are going to do the usual thing, you will drive me into leaving this house!\ \I hope it won't be as had as that, but there is a certain thing you have not posted yourself about. The land Is covered with hardwood trees. You can't make woodpuip out of beech or maple or oak or hickory or any trees that list mentions. You can make ax handle, wagon spokes and veranda chairs out of hickory, and you can make furniture out of other hard woods, but you can't make woodpulp. You can steam sour of the wood and bend in most any shape you wish, but you can't soften them into wood - pulp. \Why—why—I thought—\ stain mered Mr. Bowser. \You thought that woodpalp could he made of any tree,\ iuterrupted Mrs. Bowser. \And I thought right! I tell you woman, If a mistake has been math here you have made it. What right have you—a woman—to claim to be so %vell-posted on ii matter that you surely know not about? Why. with all may experience I have 'levet been in a paper mill. And you talk as If you have been in twenty.\ \But a woman can read as well as a man,\ protested Mrs. Bowser. \One need not go a paper mill to US - \Mr. Riley Was Anxious to Be a General.\ derstand that yooa can't dissolve a hickory ax handle into pulp. You Call split It into a hundred pieces, but you cannot make a fibrous matter of It. co out and see anyone you wish pout it, and if he don't tell you as I do I will never again object to any of your plans.\ \Yes. I will go out,\ exclaimed Mr. Bowser, as he brought his fist down on the reading table. \and I will let half ii dozen men decide who Is the Ignoramus In the case. It you know more than I do—\ Mr. Bowser went out. lie inter- viewed the carpenter. a grocer, a butcher and a builder, and, though they didn't call him names, they looked at hi mu with amazement and a contempt that hurt his feelings. The builder went so far as to say that he might as well buy out a junk shop and try to sell the old iron. brass and copper to the paperInnkers: and \Forty Trees to the Acre.\ an atm I hold it six months and ill am just as sure to get $25 for It as the sun rises.\ n do not take anything for granted. I am too good \a business man for that. Mr. Riley could' not give me the number of trees on ha thousand acres. I put him off and wrote to a postmaster to get me a man to go over the land and do the counting. and here Is his report. It is more than satisfactory, nnd Mr. Riley will be here tomorrow night and we will close the bargain. I will read you the report. The man Made a careful count, and lie says there are about 40 trees to the acre—that Ith good-sized trees. These trees comprise oaks, maples, beech and Iron- wood trees. There are also a few chest- nut trees and elms.\ \The man did not count any spruce trees, did he?\ asked Mrs. Bowser. \According to this stntemeht, he did not find any spruce trees at all, but Just the sort I mentioned.\ \I thought It might turn out that Nay. Your Mr. Riley is a ?sharper, lay dear.\ , \That's it—that's it.

Mr. Bowser realized just what would happen when he re-entered hik house, Mrs. Bowser would be rending a book. She would lay that book down with a smile of triumph, and she would expect' an apology from him. He would feel crushed and humiliated, and, though she would not crow over him, he could not hold his head up again for a week. Mr. Bowser lingered by his gate. He also lingered on the front steps. He turned the doorknob quietly and he walked In witrout his scuff of the feet. Yes, Mrs. Bowser sat there with a book. She laid the book down with a smile, but she said: \Mr. Bowser, a rat has gnawed a hole and found his way -into the kitchen. Won't you set a trap for him tonight?\ That was all—all except that Mr. Riley hasn't sold that woodland to Mr. Bowser yet.
