I found q telegram. two days old, from
Uncle Jackson, summoning me ia
Michigan. It was brief, but sum.
ciently pointed:
"'Am taken with pneumonia. Come
at once. Bring the watcn'
"Now wouldn't that have given you
q chill? There was another commune
cation as we'll. 1t was from Ethel.
Ethel was the girl was going to
marry. She said she had become ac.
quainted with my reckless conduct,
that she perceived my indifference,
and that our engagement, sir, was at
en- end forever. You can imagine /
was sufficiently dispir.ted. as l hur-
ried with my aching head and
wretched, debile body to take Mich
Of the lake.
II found Uncle Jackson win the
fingers Of death at his throat, but his
mind was clear enough. Have you
brought the watch?' he gasped, stern
ly, as bent to embrace him.
II was about to murmur some
maudlin excuses, but he checked me
sharply. His lawyer WIGS present.
They were awaiting me, it seemed.
My uncle called for his will. Under
it was clause leaving me $50 900 Of
his modest fortune. He grimly ii.
rected the cutting down of this neat
sum by the excision of cipher. The
will then gave me $4,000 instead CT
$4,000. The $4,000 bite thus taken
from my plum was given to Ethel, on
condition that she marry my cousin
Charlie, whom l hated with true cous-
fnly rancor. Uncle Jackson calmly
signed the altered will; then he
turned his face to the wall and quietly
departed for better world"
The story-teller ceased. and once
more raised his half-filled glass with
gesture of invitation.
What in the world do you suppose
became of the old watch, anyway"
demanded Cusack. who possessed an
inquisitive mind.
Huh" answered Thompson. when
l got home again a saloon-keeper
sent me word he had my watch in his
safe, waiting for me. He had taken
1t away from me one night in fear
would lose it while on that costly
spree. He knew its story and wanted
to protect me-
And them"
Then? AS soon as got my hands
on it again walked deliberately to
the Wells street bridge, and second
time consigned it to the Chicago river.
It's there yet. I hope.
