battling bat hat battling I with one of the uncanny premonitions premonitions pre pre- monitions of unpleasantness which I sometimes come to me mc I had seen M 11 Brennan the owner of ot I thc the house we wc lived JIved in but two or throe three I times since we tore had rented his property and tho the lows interviews had annoyed me exceedingly l The Tho man was evidently a confirmed tippler and each time ho lie visited the mouse hOUSt his breath had been odorous of or whisk whisky his manner effusively unpleasant hearing bearing the traces of or the thc alcohols alcohol's exhilaration Ho Ito had one once brought m me some cab- cab bago base plants plant setting them out with the thc theair theair air of ot h having ln l brought the world orld to my feet But the thc kindly little little- favor ol a had been offset by uy ms his stubborn refusal to remove the plies piles of ot old furniture wagons wag wog- ons and other refu refuse e which filled tilled th the attics attics cellars and barns barna of the the- theold old house We c had had almost a battle batUe royal over tho clearing out and fitting up of tho the small tenant house for tor tho use of ot Jim an and Katie Katlo when they were married Although our lease distinctly distinct distinct- l ly stated that we wc were to have havo the use of or all nIl tho the outbuildings on the thc property prop prop- ert erty we had 1 to call on Mr Ir tho the real estate agent before Mr 1 Bronnan Uron- Uron nan would take his property out of the tenant house It was wIth a distinct shrinking that T I finally went downstairs 5 and nd out to the side doors whore where I found my landlord landlord land land- lord standing Ho lie looked more moreIn uncouth uncouth un un- couth than ever to m my fastidious eyes and he swayed ed slightly as he took tool off ort his hat and made me mn a sweeping bow In which there was more than a hint of ot malicious mockery I was sure ho he had been n drinking cv even n moro more Il hea heavily than I I usual Wont Wont ont yo you ou como in and sit down don I Mr 11 Brennan I forced myself to utter I the thc words Don't Dont E cr Soy Soy- No Xo thank you OU maam ma'am Your four
