knocking the spots oil any previous re

earth after breaking three records and
they had to 20 ahead and smash the

game, but the Peerless team had taken
the first string before the Invincibles got

ALL WENT AWAY.

One Sunday when I was
alone at home I fell to hunt
r ing around in all the drawers
and closets for whatever treas
ures I could find. I had no
watch then. I found my
mothers watch in one of the
drawers and took it. I opened
every thing on it that I could.
I tried to close the case with
out looking and stuck my fin
ger on the crystal instead OF
on the case. I pressed so hard
that I broke the crystal. T
put it back in its box and took
my gun and went out to the
lake. There I forgot all about
the watch. Shortly after this
/ went into the country to
work for a month and when
I came home, my parents went
away. AS they went to
take the watch they found it
was broken. They asked me
if I had broken it, and I said
I had. It ended all right be-
cause I did what was right in
telling the truth.
