her way to the Grand Trunk station
having in her hand a good sized valise
She was addressed by a neat-appearing
well dressed lad. who politely asked if
she didn't want him to carry the grip to
the station. The lady replied that she
was now so near that it was not worth

pennies to reward him for such service
oh, he said Il do not care for any
pennies, as am going to the station any
way, and I'd rather carry the Valise than
not She again declined his offer being

would have done with her grip had she
entrusted him with it.

survived from the previous seasons they

these lone creatures. and have adopted

p A unique and useful clock has found its
way into the stable of Leon Wing, owp-

is not unique in itself but in the work
it does. Mr.. Wing has to leave pair OF
horses here every night and does not re-
quently he had to hire man to give
them their breakfast. This took away
some of the profits of his business, so he
set about devising some way to econo-
mize. He made false trough, set of
levers and attached them to the clock in
such A way that when the alarm went off
the levers would be set to work and the
feed box would be lowered and the chores
done. Mr.. Racllliif of the Eustis stage
line was told of the arrangement. H
doubted the ability OF the clock to do TINS
kind of work. The next morning. how
ever. he went to the stable to see the
machine work. He was Just minute
late: the horses were found very mucn
excited when he opened the door and
were pulling at their halters and blowing
at great rate, but the machine mad

water for each had been lowered 10 the
horses. The next morning Mr., Rackiff
was there in season for the entire per

There was no chlorofOrm in the camp so
