How Watch Cases are Made.

The many great improvements intro
duced in the manufacture of the JAS Boss
Gold Watch Case have led to similar i'm
provements in the making of silver cases.
Under the old methods, each part of a
silver case was made of several pieces of
metal soldered together, requiring a great
amount of cutting and soldering, which
soitened the metal and gave it the pliability
of lead rather than the elasticity of silver.
Under the improved methods, each part
of the Keystone Silver Watch Case is made
of one solid piece of metal hammered into
shape. The advantages are readily appar-
ent, for every one knows that hammeriug
hardens the metal while soldering soitensit.
To test the superiority of the Keystone
Silver Watch Case, take one of o. weight,
press it squarely in the center when closed,
and it will not give, while case of same
weight of any other make will give enough
to break the crystal The Keystone Silver
Watch Case is made only with silver cap
and gold joints.

of past weeks, the long pent.up grief had
broken her down physically and mentally.
It was weeks before she could raise her
head. When she could, the physicians
ordered her to be instantly removed to q
change of scene. She never returned to
Milton Center. For just at this hour came
the settlement of Paul Atoms financial af.
fairs-a settlement unexpectedly favorable
to him and all concerned in his difficulties.
The lovely wife, who had endured his ad.
versity so mpainingy, returned from
her exile restored in bodily health and
with noble wish TO take up the duties of
life once more, as God should point them
out. But she returned to new and
sumptuous house in her dearly-loved city,
and to the warm.hearted circle which had
80 missed her society. She came back,
no longer the vivacious young wife of only
year before, but none the less charming
to all in her chastened, spiritual grace,
and none the less attractive to old and
young, as the serene, graceful hostess or
admired guest. The piano was once more
heard beneath her touch, as the child that
had been spared her grew older, and other
little ones played about her knees.
She has never been known to say an
unkiud, even critical word of the neglect
of Milton Center TO her. She is one Of
those women who prefer to pass over in
silence what they cannot excuse. But,
even while grateful for its tardy evidences
of interest and sympathy, she remembers
it almost as indelib.y as her grief. She
has never visited the place since leaving
it. She strives to forget that summer
there. The lonely impressions that her
mind received there were not to be oblit-
Grated by the thought of few last days,
when she lay crushed and bslf-conscious
of life. 1t IS pity, for her ideas Of Mil.
ton Center's people are wrong; must
rest such, not to her forgiviDg spirits
blame. Miss Tilt is her only visitor from
the quiet community, and although Nil.
ton Center often speaks of Mrs. Alton,
and wishes that she would return for a
visit to its charming shades, and although
Mrs. yelling and the judges wife boldly
"called upon Mrs. Alton effusively in
her elegant mansion, the calls have never
been returned, aud whenever Miss Tilt
and she are together Milton Center is
scarcely alluded to. Mrs. Alton and her
quiet friend talk on topics which are
