in his prisoner that he had not handcuffed
him, and the man walked about the plat

friends Presently has wife arrived,

Helen read it aloud with tears in her

sign.
Isn't it too despicably heartless!' she
cried, at the end: and Leonard had to
smile in spite Of his chagrin.

WHEN MARY WINDS THE CLOCK

When sash and door are fastened tight,
The fire banked down with ashes white,
And every pot and pan set right,
Then whirr-r-r.
The weights go up with buzz and burr.
As Mary winds the clock at night.
A coy sound, a charming sight,
There in the corners dusky hight
The grave old clock, the maiden slight.
Then whirr-r-r.
The weights go up with buzz and burr.
When Mary winds the clock at night
Each day my darling, in Gods sight,
Keeps home and hearth and spirit bright,
Redeeming every moments flight.
Then whirr-r-r.
