THE M’INTYRE FLAT. When Vengeance Is Dealt Out They ° Are Present with a Large Pail. g Tes McIntyre flat was on the fifth floor, Above them y was the roof. It was above the other flats In the house, too, But not so notably, As warm and jocund May, with Its golden argosy of malaria, mosquitoes, bock and bills, got Into the game, the roof grew popular. It was popularest with the Spoges, who lived on the floor below, There were twelve children in this family, and they had guests by the wholesale, To the roof they would repair each evening. It was a tin roof. To the MoIntyres, Just below, the sound of thelr merrl- ment up there was as stage thunder, the subway, and Pan- demontum, N. J., all let loose together. Yet the McIntyres for a time strove to suffer and bo strong. At last the maid announced that the Spoggs were to hold a roof party that evening and were to tle five Chinese Janterns to the clothes posts and have a man with a violin. Present were to be the twelve Spogglets, Mr. and Mrs. Spogs, Miss Spogg, the four young men, each of whom hoped to recoive the goods; the pastor, his wife, Spogs’s business partner and six outsiders. They were to dance. It was to be an evening dress, Muffy affair. This was the crowning horror. Mrs. MeIntyre suggested golng out for the evening; but her husband, after studying the sky, vetoed the plan. By 8 the Spogg guests began to arrive on the roof, By 9 they were all there, By 9.16 McIntyre left hia flat, but re- turned a few moments later strangely happy. By 9.50 the heaviest, wildest thunderstorm of the year burst over tho clty, eweeping down torrents of blinding rain until the streets were as rivers “Heaven help the poor this night! murmured McIntyre, y, Heaven help those abandoned Spoggs:”” echoed hia wife. She suddenly remembered how thelr racket had died out on the roof, under the roar of thunder. “Why, they're safe indoors long ago." “T doubt ft," said McIntyre, sceptically. ‘You see, when the storm was coming I slipped upstairs unobtrusively and quietly shut and locked the door leading to the roof. As the next roof Is thirty feet away I fear the Spoggs and their guests and thelr fluffy evening clothes and thetr five Chinese anterns and thelr fiddler, are a bit moist by now. And the cruel, cruel thunder has drowned their cries for help, So It's their turn to suffer and de strong. These roof parties aren't 11 they're cracked up to be, anyhow.” And faintly, through thunder and rain, could be heard from above sounds aa of bitter woe fringed with language A. P.
