A Lady Full-Jeweled.


Isuppose every man has some whims.
! know 1 have. And suppose ones
education has something to do with
ones whims. Mine had. It is now
five years since 1 hung out my sigma
big wooden watch-ovcr the sidewalk
on Main street in Cattaqua, Illinois. I
had served an apprenticeship with my
father, who was jeweler i'll Chicago
before the fire, and the old gentleman
had "set me up" as the saying is, in
a store of my own i'll Cattaqua. There
was nothing enjoyed SO much as that
sign. Every time come to the store,
l cast my eyes up and read:

W. ii. IRVING,
wATCHMAKEH AND JEwELER,

But about my whims. You don't
care about the sign. l have often
thought that if 1 was II literary man
and was master of Il literary style, if l
had had half so much practice at writ
ing for the papers as have had at put
ting i'll mainsprings, I could make the
history of my whim quite interesting
Bat here am talliin. about my sign
and nj the rest. However, l am not Il
StorV-writcr nor q storytcllcr, hope,
and SO You'll have to let me get at that
story of my whim in my own way. 1t
is as good love story as l ever read.
IN fact l think it is better. SO does
my wife. But then everybody thinks
his own the best, suppose. 1 know
mine is.
had a fancy for carrying a watch
that would keep time. 1 do not mean
Swiss watch that loses five minutes Il
week or II month. Nor do I mean an
English watch that, like Captain Cut
ties needs setting ahead " fifteen min
ntcs afore dinner and fifteen minutes
after dinner nor an Irish watch like
the one that kept 1.-the best time and
the most of it of any watch in town. +"
| got me real machine-made watch-I
don't think I had best tell what make,
1t would be advertising my watches in
a love story; and besides am dealer,
and if l tell which watch I chose, I
should offend the other manufacturers,
1 suppose, which might not be the best
thing in the way of business.
But regulated my watch carefully.
l do think it has good effect on q
man to carry watch that keeps good
time. An inaccurate watch always
seems to me liar, and I do not think
any lover of the truth would carry one.
l regulated my watch until brought
the thing to nice point. It isn't best
to tell you how little it varied in year.
1t would sound like IN exaggeration to
you, and it would make my story have
flavor of the shop, and I hate a man
to bo always talking shop"
My watch went beautifully, and 1 did
boast little abou-it. I told the min
lister about it once, how perfectly that
watch kept time, and he looked up at
me with kindly smile and then said
pleasantly: 81 hope you take pains to
regulate your life as carefully as you do
the%atch." That word did me more
good than. all the sermons he had
preached since I cameto Cattaqua. I
could never look at my dear friend, the
watch, in the face after that, without
seeming to hear the question: edo YOU
regulate your life SO carefuNy?" Well,
l hope my lie does not vory from the
true standard so much as it did; but it
isn't tract Or Sunday School book I
am writing, but love story, if I ever
get to it.
You see when I wrote to father at
the end of the first year, telling him

directions oxsept warning not to sell
my watch to anybody.
It so happened that i'll returning to
Cattaqua after New Years, I travelled
in the same car and sat in the same seat
with Louise Jones, the young school
teacher, who had been spending the
holidays with her parents at Aurora.
Unsentimental as I am, I liked her more
and more, and / heard several things
about her in the next few days which
raised her greatly in my estimation, but
which can not take time to tell.
Aweek after New Years she brought
in her watch to have it fixed. It was
an old silver English lever of her
fathers. She asked how soon could
fix it, and I told her it would take four
days, on account of the work ahead of
it. She looked disappointed. A time
piece is indispensable to teacher, you
know, SO I offered to lend her a watch.
took down one and put it back three
times. Then went to the showcase,
and with treinulous hand took up my
fine watch; first removing the chain.
She did not know the watch, and SO
let me fasten it to her watch.guard
without suspicion.
Before night the absence of the watch
from the showcase had been observed,
and all the girls set themselves to find
out who Wore it. Sophie Bennett was
accused of having it, and she managed
to deny it in such way as to leave the
impression that she had it.
Early the next morning in came
Louise Jones. "Mr. Irving" she said,
"you have made mistake. I find in
the back of this watch an inscription
which leads me to think that you have
given me what you did not mean to-"
Forseeins that the conversation would
be a delicate one, gave Thomas, my
apprentice, letter to mail, and then
took the watch and read the inscription
in order to gain time. had put on
the inside of the case a sentence I had
heard heard the minister quote: sd
perfect acoman nobly planned"
handed it back to her and said
Miss Jones, I made no mistake. I
lent you that watch on purpose"
But you must see," she said,
strongly, that I cannot wear it on any
account"
II do not see," I said, smiling, and
blushing, fear.
cit would create false impression. I"
If you say the impression it would
create would be false, I must take it
back"
"How could it be otherwise. than
false? ?" she said, little puzzled.
II know of but one way" said
slowly. "You know what the impress
sion made would be. On my part 1
wish that it might be true one. If
you are agreed, it shall be, and you
shall accept the watch and wear it for
ever"
She was silent, holding the watch
and turning it over absently, and grow
ing exceedingly red.
"Take time," said, "Do not show
the inscription to any one. Twill come
and see you about it whenever you say.
Shall it be this evening
She nodded her head and left.
She has often told me that she did
the poorest teaching Of her life that
day. 1t does not matter. She has
long since quit teaching. But it took
the sossips long time to find out who
had the watch. She wears it yet-only
her name is not Jones.
