on him by strong evidence qas ot-

gentleman desired to look at the young
maps watch. the request was readily grant
ed, and the inquisitor proceeded to examine
the inside case, where, he discovered 1t was
all scratched up by the key, which being
used by an unsteady hand, indicated, to the
close observer that the hand which wound
it did not keep regular hours; that 1t must
have been wound up in the dark, and that

young man would not suit.

agacious mother required each to open the
moth, wheE she compared the impression

and when she came to the rogue
he said, "Ah, you are the oneP' and to
