THE OLD CLOCK.

"All the world lows loverl" The
words were ringing in my ears as l sat
on the cushioned seat in the deep
square window. The world was all
white and beautiful, snow covered the
field, and meadows far into the horizon,
where the sun was sinking in his Grim
son glory.
1t was twilight, everything was soft
and dreamy, and Che tick Of the old
clock seemed to my girlish mind to re-

tender Jest OF his. Gloves lover

It was big old fashioned hall, there
were the broad low stairs leading to
the rooms above, the tall, mahc gany
clock with it's dear old face that was
like q friend to me. What deal it
could tell of all that had come and gone
since it stood in its dim recess. Tales
OF the first Kiss beneath the mlstetoe,
of the sweet words whispered on the
stairs, of the stories told around the
blazing Yule logs, all memories OF other
days-when grandmother was young
like me.
