Less than dozen years ago hand
some watch travelled from Switzerland
to Providence Or. ID jewelers. where
in show window it attracted atten-

friend. 1t was purchased, put in .
pretty case with chatelaine attached,
and the whole was lost before the pur-
chaser arrived home. Three days later
it was advertised as tound, and was
again restored 10 the possession of its
purchaser. 1t was bestowed upon
the friend. Before many days. after
the lady had returned from . drive,
the watch was discovered to have drop

later it was carried into jewelers.

covered.
Sitting on the rocks at Narragansett
Pier one summer day, and wondering If
it were yet late afternoon, the owner of
the watch glanced down to see the
time and discovered that the watch
was again missing. It had been securely
fastened, but the chatelaine had broken
and let go the tims-keeper. Going
back to the hotel the lady as accosted
by an elderly man with question:
"Have you lost any thing, miss9' Yes,
q watch.n Here it is" and uninjured
the watch was returned to t..e owner.
The chatelaine being stoutly repaired
the watch was worn to Philadelphia.
OF course it was lost there, but it was
found by the cham bermaid in the hotel
and mailed to the owner in Rhode
Island by the proprietor Of the house.
Expostulation, proffered advice, which
Is said to possess an unpleasant odor,
and chidings failed to induce the owner
10 stop wearing the watch.
Recently it hung, with numerous oth-
or trinkets, suspended from the chate-
laine worn from the girls side. She
stood ON . wharf looking down. into the
