re In town"
The junior partner was by no means
Glsheartened, for he well knew Mr.
Spnrton's methods. Sparton used 10
leave all purchases to his partner, and
then heap all the abuse on his head II
an article did not SELL
AT five minutes to one Mr. Bunsner
came in. He asked to see the new
watch. Mr., Bunsner was a very rich
manufacturer, and spent his money
very freely, Sparton produced the
watches and turned them on, while
Flowing explained all he knew about
their mechanism in order to bridge
over the interval until one O'Clock
should strike. A moment before the
Zig clock struck the watches began
70 talk, about ten went off exactly at
the same time, and what they said
could not be distinguished All Mr..
Dunsner heard was recipe for chick
ca salad from one watch, and the ex-
celent advice "one O'Clock, take your
hands out of your pockets from an
other.
What's that one?' said Mr.. Buns
ner, eagerly. How much is it?"
Which, Mr.. Bunsner, please?"
The one that said Take your hands
ont OF your pockets 1t will 40 beau
tiinlly for my boy"
oh, that's the schoolboys watch,
sir; 1t has lot of~tTseful precepts. Ii
has also some football maxims, the
CHEF rules of good behavior, and some
hints upon keeping pets, The whole
to conclude with some nice homely adj
vice in a lady's voice for every night
at ten, After that, if consulted, it
says: Don't talk, and Go to sleep, =
said Mr.. Plowman, reading from the
descriptive catalogue.
What is the price of this one,
them said Mr. Bunsner.
"Forty-hve dollars" said the Off
clous Flowing, pushing his way past
Sparton
Il will take that with me, please, ;"
said Mr.. Bunsner.
Mr. Bunsner took the watch with
him; he did NOT look at it during
luncheon at the University club-the
rhcnograpic apparatus had been
turned off, as he did not wish to be
surprised by it during business hours.
1T might tell me TO take my hands
out of my pockets or to go on with my
work when one of my clerks was in
my room, and that would be annoying,
he said to himself, as he turned tho
button.
He said nothing of the purchase to
his wife. however, as he hoped to SUR
prise BERTHE the next morning with the
Conscience watch"

and the boy went off to bed handling
