HIS HOUSE CLEANING. A Story of Misdirected Kindness and Unjust Suspicions. How tli Frugal anl Virtuous liookkeope* Prepared for 111 M Wife's Hot urn. and What She Found When She Came. iCOPYniGIIT, 181)4. | The thin, laborious bookkeeper looked up from his toil with a some what mechanical smile. He was a very conscientious man who always smiled when his employer made a joke, and at all other times when propriety demanded it of him. And so lie smiled as he said: "My wife's coming home next Satur day. Suppose I'll have to buy some scrubbing soap and see if I can find my kitchen iloor. Been keeping house alone, you know, and sort o' letting things accumulate." The typewriter girl was polishing a certain portion of the machine. She never wasted time on any other part of BARNEY INTRODUCES 1118 FRIEND. that instrument hut this one little hit of bright metal which the thoughtful designer lmd put just where it would reflect a stray bang. "Your wife's coming home? Oh how glad you must be!" "I'll tell you what we ought to do," said the girl who never does anything at all. and is always the busiest one in the office. "We ought to go up to Mr. Hay's house, and put it in order for him. Then when his wife comes home she'll say that he's the best house keeper in the world." "That isn't a had idea," said the truvelin g man. "What do you say, old Douhlewindows? Will you invite us all up to your house? If you will we'll bring along a fiddler, and give you a fine old racket to console you for the sad event <f Saturday." The bookkeeper, who is the best of husbands. dil not deign to notice the traveling man's badinage; but the house-cleaning idea appealed to him strongly. Ho was -eally touched by this evidence of the esteem in which be was held by his associates. "Then if you'll come Thursday even ing," said Mr. Hay, "I'm sure you'll be very welcome." All the young men and women con nected with the office were invited. After some discussion it was decided to include the head office boy, a youth of seventeen, with pronounced sport ing proclivities. "lie's a horrid little tough," said the typewriter girl, "but he's awful strong, and I guess we can make him do most of the work." The bookkeeper succeeded in getting away early Thursday afternoon, and 011 his way home he made several pur chases for the entertainment of his prospective guests. lie lived in a queer little two-story house in Brook lyn. It had never looked meaner to him than on this occasion. When he had entered he was really shocked t<> observe the fearful results of his own housekeeping during the past three weeks. lie had not realized the con dition of things before that moment. "I can't let them see the place in this condition," said he. "Perhaps I could get a woman to come in for a couple of hours, ami straighten up a bit." A silver dollar persuaded his washer woman to undertake the task. She did very well with it, and Irj seven o'clock the house was in very fair order. By eight o'clock the guests began to arrive. The girls immediately made a survey of the premises, and they com plimented Mr. liny highly. They said that he was a perfectly lovely house keeper. But privately they comment ed very unfavorably upon the quality of the furniture, au<l such portions of Mrs. Hay's attire as she had not taken with her upon her visit. Barney, the offlce-boy-in-chief, came la? t. lie was accompanied by a young man with short hair, and a nose slight ly inclined to one side, as the result of a collision with some swiftly moving object, probably a four-ounce glove. "I took de liberty," said Barney, "of bringing me friend, Mr. Swipes. He's a retired detective, an' de bes' middle weight in Gravesend; also a barlceep'. Swipsey, old boy, dis gentleman is Mr. Hay, our bookkeeper, an' de fines' ink slinger in de business." "Glad ter meet yer, Mr. Ilay," said the retired detective. "Any friend o' Barney's is my friend, an'that goes, see? I brought a little sometliin' ter make the occasion more joyous." At these words he pulled a bottle out of each of the side pockets of his over coat, and set them down with consid erable violence on the center table in Mr. Hay's parlor. The traveling man insisted upon opening the two bottles, and serving the contents, but, as the fluid had been purchased in Gravesend, there was no yyyy-indulgence. The girls assisted | Mr. Hay in setting forth his modest I pr i ion of refreshment, and they i i . !',v 1 to utilize all the dishes in It! e house. There was dancing before | j' jdafu r the sapper, ami everybody , bad a glorious time, including Mr. j Hay, who bad not participated in any I MI 'h revelry since 1875. Finally, one of the girls discovered that it was after twelve o'clock, and she communicated this intelligence to the others. Then there was a hurried leave taking, and after it was all over, Mr. liny sank into a chair and gazed about him upon a scene of wild dis order. j On his way to the office next morn ing, he left word at lier house. She was not in, but one of her children ! said that she would come back in a lit tle while. ■ "He sure to tell her what I want | .done." said Mr. I fay. "This is Friday, and the house must be cleaned, for my wife's coming to-morrow." The child promised, and Mr. Hay went to the scene of his daily toil. When the girls arrived, they were en- I tliusiastic about the splendid time they had had on the previous evening. The young men simply laughed and winked at one another. They regarded it as a firstrate joke on Mr. Hay, who, despite his many virtues, was not a favorite, on account of his habit of carefully noting the amount of small advances during the week and remembering them on pay day. About eleven o'clock in the forenoon a ragged and freckled youngster in quired for Mr. IT ay. When the book keeper saw him his hair began to stir at the roots. It was the washerwom an's boy. "Well, sonny, what is it?" he asked, she couldn't go to your house to-day, 'cause she's got a pain in her back; an' she's very sorry, an' so's me fadder, 'cause he ain't workin' now, an' he needs de mun." Having shot off this message in one breath, the boy vanished. This struck Mr. Hay as being very tough, but he bore it with that patience which was one of the finest points of his charac ter. In the afternoon, when the scri(j> women began their labors in the big building, Mr. Hay engaged one of them for the sum of two dollars—half of which was exacted in advance—to conic over to his house that evening and set it in order. When he returned to the office he was met by the senior partner, who said: Here's a telegram which came this morning. Harney put it on my desk. It's addressed to you. I meant to give it to you before, but it slipped my mind." "Lxpeet me Friday. Meet rac 12:15 at Grand Central, if possible." "By Jupiter!" exclaimed Hay, turn ing pale; "she's at home by this time. I'm ruined." At this moment there was a disturb ance at the door. A woman of ample dimensions rushed in. Wrath sur rounded her like a lurid atmosphere. "David Hay," said she, "I should like to hear you explain this!" And she threw down a dainty white handkerchief on Ilay'ttdesk. "My dear," he began; but the girl who simply putters around interrupted him. "Why, Millie!" she cried, addressing the typewriter girl, "that's yours!" "Oh, it's yours, is it?" exclaimed Mrs. Hay. "Then perhaps these ore yours, too. Goodness knows they're too big to be mine." So saying, she laid a pair of lady's rubbers on Hay's ledger. "No, indeed," said the typewriter girl; "those are Jessie's. She wears a number five." She had taken the articles from a hand-bag as the named them, and, at the last words, she Hashed up the two bottles which had been contributed by the gentleman from Gruvesend. "And now, David Hay," she con tinued, "I have but one word more; all is at an end between us!" She made a dramatic gesture, and retreated toward the door. All the girls were on their feet, and at this juncture they cried out, with one voice: "We just went over there to clean house." "Clean house!" echoed Mrs. Hay, and she laughed hysterically. "Well, if you'd go over and clean it once more the board of health would send you to | jail. And it's where you belong, every I one of you." With this shot, she made her exit. For a full minute nobody spoke. Hay was in u trance. The girls were trying to think of something mean enough. Finally Barney broke the silence, i "Say, Haysey, old boy," he said, | "we've done yer dirt, an' we never meant ter do it. But jes'pull verself together. Mo frien' £wipes 'll fix this alf right. Lie's been a detective at Co ney Island, an' dis kind o' t'ing was His 1 specialty." . , 1 am happy to say. in conclusion, that a satisfactory explanation has been I made to Mrs! Ilay, but not by tho ex- I detective. HOWARD FIELDING. FOREIGN NOTES.

Widespread interest has been excited among war veterans and all classes of citizens by the magnificent record of the civil war which is now being distri buted by the Philadelphia Inquirer. This is the "Century War Book," a work which has attained the reputation of being the most accurate, complete and artistically beautiful history of the war ever published. When originally issued several years ago it sold at from $22 to S2B, hut the Inquirer is ofTering it to its readers in weekly parts at a merely nomiifal cost each week. The text of the work is made up of contributions written by all the great participants in the war on both sides. The main feature, however, is em braced in the portraits, illustrations and maps, over 900 in number, all executed in the highest artistic style, and many of them made from rare wartime origi nals. The descriptions of all the great battles are written by the leading gen erals who fought them, and fully illus trated, very often by sketches made at the time. The paper and print arc superb and fully in keeping with the usual work of the Century Company, which publishes the work. This superb history is published in i twenty parts, and the Philadelphia In- ! y nirer has just begun the distribution, it j 1 being the intention to give out one part | each week until the series is completed. | To obtain this valuable work all that is j necessary is to cut out a coupon from the I Inquirer and send it together with ten j cents to the Inquirer Coupon Depart j ment, 1109 Market street, Philadelphia.
