Two Wonderful watches.


 g John Huntington and his son, W. T. R. Huntin gton, of Cleveland, own two of the best watches in the world. They are duplicates, and were ordered by the senior Huntington in 1881 in Geneva, Switzerland. He agreed to pay $5, 900 in gold for two watches that should combine every movement then known to the art of matchmaking. A description of one answers for botn The case is of pure gold; tie works number 400 pieces. On the large dial appear four smaller dials. The one at the top shows by diagram of the sky the changes of the moon, the firma- ment being of lapis lazuli, studded with golden stars. The next dial to the right shows the leap year, the tiny hand moving around the circle once in four years, and an auxiliary hand shows each month. On tn6 dial at the bottom is a hand marking the quarter seconds, and one showing the daT of the month. At the left, on the fourth miniature dial, is hand point ing out the day of. the week, and another the tide as it ebbs and flows. Around the large dial, besides the usual hour and minute hand, moves a second hand and an extra horse timer, so arranged that the distance between two horses at the finish is accurately noted in quarter seconds. By pressing a button the past hour is struck on 8 deep-toned bell, one of 8 chime; the quarters are moro silvery note, aRd rapidly tinkling companion gives the minutes. The watch is 8 stem winder, and one spring furnishes the motive power. Where there is fric' tion the pivots are set in rubies. IN. Y SllD

A vENTUREsoME VISIT.

The preliminary lines of Mrs. Lud-
lows matchmaking campaign had
been drawn with such slight difficulty
that the small conspirator began to
think that there would be no occa.
sion for a go-between. Ringbrand's
hospitable welcome by the colonel, and
the easy facility with which he ingrati
ated himself at "The Laurels," left lit
tie to be desired; and his infatuation
was so very evident that it needed moth
ing in the way of encouragement. Since
his side of the case was beyond the need
OF prompting, Mrs. Ludlow directed her
efforts toward trying to ascertain his
standing with Hester-a praiseworthy
endeavor which the young girl ap-
peared to take perverse delight in frus-
trating. AT one time she would praise
him with such outspoken frankness
that its very unreServe was a most en-
couraging symptom; at another she
would criticise him in a manner that
was equally disheartening. She had
ridden down to spend the day with Mrs.
Ludlow on the morning following Ring
brands interpretive journey down the
mountain; and on that occasion she
would allow no word of commentator

ed upon that trumrery excuse for a
light. Fortunately, l can get out either
way without it,"
He elected to go back by the way he
had come, and when he was once more
in the open air he found that he had
just time to walk back TO Tregarthen
before dinner. On the way down the
mountain he debated with himself as
to whether it were best to tell Ludlow
of his discovery at once. There was NO
apparent reason why he should not
do so, bat he argued that there was
also no occasion for haste; q delay Of
few days could make no difference.
and in that time he might be able to
gather additional information which
would fit into the discovery and so
make it more valuable. Taking this
view of the matter, he determined 10
say nothing to Ludlow about the exist
ence of the crevice-cave; and in reach
ing this conclusion he forged the first
link in a chain that was to bind him
at time when he would have given
life itself for an hour of freedom.
Passing the furnace on his way to the
village, he called for Ludlow, and they
walked home together. In answer to
his friends question, Ringbrand replied
that he had spent the forenoon on the
mountain. 1--WE been thinking about
the story you told me this morning."

about the feud, you mean?"

Ludlow complied by giving minute
account Of the rise and progress of the
vendetta, repeating his suspicious
about the agency of the Bynums in re-
tarding the work of the McNabb.
What reasons have you for suspect
ing them?' asked Ringbrand.
NO one else had any motive for in
terfering with us, and 1 am sure that
some one blew down the roof of the
tunnel more than once"
"How can you be sure of that?"
Il saw the marks of the blasts, and
smelled black powder; our workmen
were using nothing but dynamite. Be-
sides | questioned some of the peopls
living in the valley near the McNabb,
and several of them had heard the ex.

The place will ask for a brave man. ."
Il can find QUE" rejoined Ludlow,
cheerfully. Don't you want the job?"
I'm afraid l shouldn't be of much
use; but I'll take it, if you say So"
Ludlow looked incredulous. That
doesn't sound much like the line you
took this morning"
mo, l know it doesn't; but perhaps
I'm little like the man who wanted
drink of whisky in order to ascer-
tain what effect it would have on him.
I've tried moral suasion on my weak
ness until I'm convinced there's no
virtue in that kind of treatment, and it
has occurred to me that a heroic dose
OF carnage may be what is needed"
1T may be, but shouldn't go around
hunting for the occasion if were you"
replied Ludlow, holding the gate open.
