Later on in the day, just before
starting to the station, Mr. Burritt, on
looking at his watch, noticed that it
had stopped. Then he remembered
that he had forgotten to bring his
watch key, and had consequently
been obliged to omit the ceremony of
winding it up the night before. It
occurred to him that his friend, who
was packing his portmanteau in the
next room, might be able to supply
the deficiency.
He left his own room and knocked
at the door of the one adjoining. But
the occupant of the apartment, whom
he heard moving about within, appar-
emily did not hear the knock, so, after
waiting few seconds, he turned the
handle and entered.
The other was standing in front of
the dressing table and with his back
to the door, so that his actions were
reflected in the mirror. He was dress
ed, all but his coat, and was carefully
examining some article which caught

CHAPTER ".

"The Secret Lies Between Us Two"
Next morning Mr.. Silas Burritt, and
his friend, whose incognito is still pre-
served, were seated at breakfast to-
gether.
In the clear light of day, in the
presence Of the most 4appetizing
viands, the former gentleman found
his mind completely Invested of all
those gloomy and distrustful thoughts
and suspicious which had caused him
so much disquietude previously, to say
nothing of having ruined his nights
rest 1t was astonishing what wide
ly different view he took of the mat
ter as he discussed this early meal.
His heart warmed anew toward his
old friend, who sat facing him, and
who also appeared to more advantage
under these more cheerful circum-
stances.

Razor Sharpener.

II takes barber to strop razor
properly, whereas If an amateur at
tempts the operation he invariably
does more harm than good and ruins
the blade. This is easily accounted
for by holding the razor at too great
an angle while stropping. In the illus
tration here is shown device to be
used in sharpening razor or similar
instrument, the object being to hold
the blade at the proper angle while
being moved back and forth over the
face of the strop greatly facilitating
the operation, inasmuch as the blade
can be quickly and easily reversed at
the end of each stroke without danger
of scraping the sharpened edge of the
razor against the face of the strop
Another advantage is that it can be
attached to the ordinary razors now
