New Use Of the

Margaret White was tired of com
muting. tired Of the daily ride on the
elevated road from Christopher street
TO one Hundred and Twenty
street. very tired of the crowded class
room at the end of it, so it is not
strange that her mind, idle through
design and strenuous through habit.
picked out the broad sAOuldered young
man who strobe into the car at Forty
second and off again at One Hundred
and Sixteenth street regularly as the
morning came as a pleasant enough

looked neither to the right nor 10 the

which betrayed at time, great irrita-

Most men who own a good watch"
said jeweler, think they know all
about it. They have the number fixed
in their memory in case it is stolen
They could probably pick it out from
fifty other watches with their eyes
shut But how many men know that
their watch is a compass and will tell
north from south as accurately as it
will tell the time of day? Stanley, the
explorer, did not know it until he had
CROPPED his way through the dark CONT
nent and met a Belgian sailor on the
coast. Every watch is a compass. II
you point the hour hand to the sun,
the south is exactly halfway between
the hour and the figure MI on the
dial Suppose, for instance, it is 4
o'clock. Point the hand indicating 4
to the sun and II on the watch Is ex-
actly south. If it is s o'clock, point the
hand indicating to the sun and the
figure Y on the dial is due south No
man need get lost if he carries a
watch"

THE cause Of his lordship's death"
says Aubrey, was trying an expert

coach of DR.. Whitherborne. Toward
Highgate snow lay, and 1t came into

stuffed the bodie with snow, and my

There was a tense silence. The colo

of amused satisfaction in the colonel's

The studio tea had been a great
success. The one small and very
youthful member Of the company had
walked softly about, locking at the
pictures. Just before the party broke
up the artist discovered him surveying
a picture of lion with awe and in

Don't be afraid, little chap" said
the artist genially, patting his small
guest on the head "He won't hurt
you"
"Oh, I'm not afraid at ALL" came the
response in clear treble that caused
every one to listen. HE doesn't look
a bit as If he were alive, you know"

that they are still at work.

orders which will admit Of no unneces-
