Elsie, as he hung up his hat and took off his overcoat. He cast himself down disconsolately upon the lounge and Elsie sat down beside him. “Poor business today, dear?”’ she asked, with her arms round his neck. “Not a cent,” answered her hus- band. “Nor yesterday, either, Hardly ten dollars’ worth this week. How are we going to make the next pay- ment on our home?” Elsie looked about her, at the pret- ty living room, with the ivy tendrils peeping in at the window, at the flower beds outside, gay with gerani- ums. It was not a big house, but it was an uncommonly comfortable one, and it was conveniently situated with- in commuting distance of the city. They had been lured into the coun- try by an advertisement of a firm of real estate agents, which stated that a new house, with ‘“every conven- fence,” could be purchased for three hundred dollars down, and a little more than ten times that sum “the same as rent.” John Hambleton had pald off about two thousand dollars, and now it seemed as though his home was to be taken away. The receipts from his business were steadily dwindling. Perhaps it was the diversity of his interests that made him unsuccess- ful. After all, it is difficult to argue convincingly upon the necessity of taking out burglar insurance when you have just been telling another man that the greatest danger to a house comes from fire. And John Hambleton was an agent for all forms of insurance—Ilife, accident, fire, and burglary. So here he was at five, with a home that was slipping out of his grasp. “T've spoken to Stimp-on,” pursued John mechanically, “1 asked him ‘o let one instalment go. e langhed He Laughed at Me. at me. He said that if I didn't pay up sharp on the day it was due, he would take back the house. He said that was where the prolits came in, and that he couldn't give away ex- pensive houses unless some of the purchasers were going to default.” “But can he take it away, John?” asked Elsie in terror. “It seems he can. lle's got me hard and fast on the agreement, sure enough. And as it looks to me, Elsle, we are going to lose our home on the first of next month.” “John,” said Elsie solemunly, “do you know what day of the week we moved out here?"” “Friday?” asked gloomily. “Yes, dear, and if you remember, it was your own sguggestion, because the removal company told you you could get & van five dollars cheaper on that day than any other. And we have had nothing but ill luck ever since we came.” Elsie drew out her handkerchief and began to cry. Their ill luck had, indeed, been phenomenal. John's business had steadily dwindled, sickness had eaten into their little reserve, the house had needed repairs which Stimpson re- fused to make. The estate firm made its money that way, as the agent had truly said; it gave good value and watched its cantives slowly lose their homes. The class of purchasers with whom it dealt was {requently in need her husband of funds; when this need became im- perative, Stimpson & Co. took back the property under the cunningly drawn clauses of the contract. “Well, we'll N John savage- ly. “Well the thief his house, with fire ins surance throwt And may it per- ish with him. 1 it prove the worm of decay th naws at the bud of his prosn until—until—" That v 1 far as John could go. a little city flat, they could obtain They were to Elsie was too heart-br: to stay out the entire month. E Stimpson, when he heard the news he rubbed his hands and grinned. “John,” exclaimed Elsie suddenly, “do you know what day of the week we are going to move back to town?” “Yes, 1 do,” John answered morose- ly. “It's Friday, because we can gei ed without move in a moving van five dollars cheaper on that day.

They had smarted so long under their misfor- tunes—one after another, and all un- —that they found a childish pl in defying their evil genius and Iriday, the 21st, might have been Iriday, the 13th, for all they cared. The day arrived; the house was emptied and locked, and the house- hold goods piled in the van. In a pelt- ing rain, which proved the prelude to ! a tropical thunderstorm, Elsie and John made their way to the station. Wet to the skin, they took their seats and, too wretched to talk, stared out over the rain-swept flelds. The hoodoo was still at work. They reached town without an ae- cident and engaged a taxicab to take them to their new home. “We may as well be extravagant,” said John. “Things couldn’t be much worse.” But worse things happened. A crash, a jar, and the vehicle was thrown on its side. John emerged bleeding from a shower of glass, Elsle, uninjured except for a bad shaking, rose to her feet beside him, and they stood staring at the wreckage, The taxicab had collided with a large motor van—their motor van, bound for the same destination. The van was not much injured, but its contents had been flung to the ground. There was a rent in the Wilton rug, the living-room table was a bundle of firewood, and every piece of glass was broken, including the pier mirror. The hoodoo showed no signs of let- ting up. “You don't take furmture insur- ance, do you, John?" asked Elsie, thoughtfully. “No,” answered John, rubbing his chin. “I wonder whether our home is to be found. There may have been an earthquake, Elsie.” But there had been no earthquake. They found their flat, eutered, and sat down on the floor. It had been newly varnished, as they discovered about 20 seconds later. “I thinlk,” said John, “that I shall go out and buy a bottle of prussic acid. I'd get a revolver, but the acld is cheaper,” “T wouldn't do that, dear,” answered his wife “Let's go out to lunch in stoad. his cable, th el nearby proposition proving more lunched very well at eseaping with nothing a 5 (ress, When they gut‘ home & tlegram was awaiting John. ¢ He tore it open, It was from Stimp- son, “Your hotse % by lightning and burned down,” it roud.
