Grimmick began away back in Sep- tember to boast to his friends about the oysters. It was so hot that he could scarcely raise a flicker of in- terest by relating how Albert Mac- Shane, who had moved to Texas, was going to ship him some gulf oysters during the winter. “They’re oysters that are oysters!” Grimmick always added. ‘“Nome of your measly little eastern things, but big, fat ones, the size of a saucer. And flavor! Say, if you haven't ever eaten a gulf oyster you don’t know what you're talking about! They—" “Let's go and get something cold to drink,” the person to whom Grimmick was talking would interject about here, taking off his Panama hat to mop his steaming forehead. Later in the fall people began to be- tray an interest in Grimmick's oysters. They listened and they heard so much about those glorified bivalves that most of them would have recognized the barrel on sight. No matter how dis- guised, it would have been impossible for that barrel to deceive the eyes of Grimmick's friends. Persons of deep designs brought Grimmick new recfpes for cooking oysters and artfully showed him their wholehearted disin- terestedness. Not that they expected to get any of the oysters, but natural- ly they took a neighborly interest. It might be a big barrel. Even Grimmick when he first gazed upon it was a trifle appalled at the size of the barrel. MacShane must have rhisunderstood and sent him a young hogshead. Or else the crop of gulf oysters was unusually large. “Beauties!” cried Grimmick when he got the barrel open. “I can scarce- ly wait to get at them!"” The Grimmick family had raw oys- ters and oysters grilled that night for dinner and all next day Grimmick made a nuisance of himself telling every one how good they were. He| {ssued no general invitations, ever, for people to run in and take home a pailful of the gulf treasures. Consequently, comments were bitter on his trail. “Selfish brute!” was the universal opinion. “It's as bad as though he owned an automobile and never took any one out for a ride!” It really is amazing how far oysters | will go. After the Grimmicks had en- Joyed oysters stewed, scalloped, panned and fried to their hearts’ con- tent they saw no appreciable shrink- ing of the barrel’s contents. There were just about as many oysters as before. Grimmick saild he thought he'd take some down to the office for his part- ner. Mrs. Grimmick saild that as she was going over to Sister Nells’ that day she might as well take some along. The next day she carried some across to the neighbors on either side of them. That evening Grimmick sur- veyed the scalloped oysters set before him and frowned slightly. He said they looked fine, but he believed if Mary would fry him some of the breakfast bacon he'd rather have it. The following morning he said he thought it was a mistake not to share their good fortune with their friends and that he would speak to Beekman and Dundle and Buckle on the train and tell them to stop by that night ! on their way home and get some, The weather turned warm just then.

Grimmick sald when he saw the mer- cury in the outside thermometer standing at 48 degrees. “I should think you would remember some of your friends to whom gulf oysters would be a real treat!” “Why, T have been giving them around,” confessed Mrs. Grimmick. “Somehow, that barrel’s terrible hard to empty!” In another week Grimmick was ped- dling oysters frantically. The neigh- bors’ dogs feasted on them and all the cats for blocks about congregated daily on Grimmick's back steps be- cause the cook fed them freely on oysters. Presently whenever Grim- mick hove in sight the men would raise protesting hands and say they were obliged, but they did not want any oysters, Mrs. Grimmick, five minutes after | ##444845$843 4004 3SS 44 SPPS taking a quart or so over to the next door neighbor, saw the maid march out to the garbage can and empty out the gift. It then dawned on her that it was the fifth time in a week she had bestowed oysters on that family. Still, she felt irritated. Further, the mere sight of the barrel irritated her, for a good many oysters remained. Rather {earfully, she served oysters | that night at dinner. It was the third time that week. Grimmick exploded and arose from his chair and beat his | fist upon the table. He gave orders that | if he lived to be one hundred and ten she was never under any conditions to | place oysters upon his table again. Then, calling for the spade uud an a'( he proceeded to the back ya excavating a large hole he burled tha rest of the oysters and chopped up | the barrel for kindling. “There!" Grimmick said exultingly a< he stalked into the house. “Get on your things and we'll go downtown and get an honest beefsteak!” Expected Too Much.
