seedy looking indivi, nals to-day as he
threw dime down on the counter of
Falkenstein's lager beer saloon on West
Fayette Street.
1--WE haven't had drink since we left
New York, added the other.
While the beer was being drawn one
of the men uttered an exclamation of
surprise. Mr.. Falkenstein asked what
was the matter, and the man whispered
that he had just seen queer looking
man, steal through the door and, after
sneaking around the bar, go down the
open trap into the cellar.
Mr.. Falkenstein Immediately hurried
down into the cellar to investigate the
matter. As soon as his head disappear
ed below, the strangers coolly shut down
the t1ap:door and firmly fastened it.
They then possessed themselves of lot
of fine cigars, and also of considerable
sum of money that was in the till.
Mr.. Falkenstein did not find robber in
the cellar, as he expected, but now he
knows where he should have looked for
him, and tonight he is the maddest
man in Baltimore.

How Watch Cases are Made.

In 1875, thirteen men comprised the
entire working force used in the manu-
facture of the JAMES Boss Gold Watch Case.
Now over foe hundred are employed, and the
number is constantly increasing. The rea-
son of this increase is this: In the James
Boss Gold Watch Case all the metal in sight
and subject to wear is solid gold, while the re-
mainder, which only lends strength to the
case, is of stronger metal than gold,
giving gold where gold is needed, and
strong, elastic metal where strength and
elasticity are needed, a combination pro-
ducing watch case better than solid gold
and at oNE-HALF the cost. -o.nr MARY
