A WATCH IN THE EXININ1TION
THE HUNTING-CASE HAD NOTHING MORE
SEDITIOUS THAN AN EPITHET FOR
TIE TEACIIER.

The boys had assembled in the big study hall
for the annual examination, and the questions
had all been distributed. when the teacher in
charge said Now gentlemen you know that
YOU will have an hour to answer the questions
that there must be no communication and that
notes. textbooks and other aids may not be
used"
Then every man went to work. and the teacher
in charge walked noiselcssly about the room
watching the students at work. Presently he
stopped and looked intently at a young man
who held his open watch slightly below his desk
and looked at it ia a stcalthy manner while he
wrote This was repeated several times, and
was always seen by the teacher from his posi-
ton a little back Of the student After the
fourth or fifth consultation the teacher went
forward and asked the student, what time is
it by your watch"
The student said that his watch was out of
repair
But you have looked at it every five minutes
since the session began"
Have II" asked the student sheepishly.
Il think you had better let me take the watch
until after the session" and the teacher ex-
tended his hand while the young man detached
the hunting case watch from the chain and
passed it over the head of a fellow-student to
the teacher.
The teacher pressed the spring. the watch case
opened and disclosed an empty space except for
a card on which was written in large letters.
"Rubber-nock." and the owner Of the unique
article explained later to his classmates how
there may be a good time in a watch that has
no works.

Sixty novels are a convincing demon

her capacity for uuceasing hard work.
For a period covering perhaps 20 years
she was as widely known and as highly

vigor made the writing of new novels
impossible. Her books were most wide

England.
Mrs. Southworth was the daughter Of

greater part Of her four score years
