"What time is Il, Maggie" said
John, with an uneasy sense that he
ought 10 be on his hOmeward way.
III go and look" she answered.
Stepping quietly into tn. kitchen
the girl pushed the clock hands back
an hour. and returning, said. ats

you can stay an hour longer"
So John stayed, for lovers are
never eager TO part and he needed
no coaxing. The noxt morning, how
ever, he oversight himself. aud Mag.

missed the train, he intended to
journey by that day, wondered how
the good old clock could have lost

didn't explain. She meant to set il
right again before going to bed, but
forgot, which shows once more what
everybody should remember--that
we can snt bnck the clock, but We

years younger. For, although a
clock face looks tbs same no matter
what time il is. a human face doesn't.
