How to Clean a Clock.

Often a clock will refuse to run
merely because it is clogged with dust.
A very simple way to clean a clock
is to place a piece of cotton or a small
sponge soaked in Kerosene In the bot
tom of it and let stand a few hours.
The sponge will gradually be filed with
the dust from the works, and when
the clock Is again started It will gen
orally run without further difficulty.
If your nickel-plated alarm clock
refuses TO run, as ii will be apt to do
after it has been III use a year or so,
it may be cleaned in the following way
Take stiff feather-one from the wing
Of a chicken is excellent-and dip it in
kerosene oil. Then insert it In the
circle around the winding keys and the
keys that move the hands to remove
the dust. Wind the clock and let IL
run a few days, and then apply a tiny
drop of sewing machine oil from the
can to each of the winding keys.

CHAPTER vi.

1t was night-a bright, breezy, autumn
night-with the moon sailing through bill
lows of clouds. The air was mild, yet
the south wind was boisterous, and the
half-stripped yellow trees in Wycherly
Woods rocked about and tossed their
branches wildly.
Ella Wycherly stood on a stone balcony
watching the night, listening to the wild
music of the wind, smiling to herself,
when the gusts took the little plantation
of larch and bent it down SO helplessly,
so humbly. Ella wore a dress Of gray
silk, golden bracelets on her arms, a
crimson flower in her dark hair.
Dinner was over, and coffee was over :
and the dull game of whist was over, in
which the colonel and the doctor, Mrs.
Wycherly and Miss Worthington took
part for three hours nightly, while Ella
sat by at fancy work, or yawning over
some supr, mely childish or terribly dull
book which her mother permitted her to
read.
Ella had said good night, and was sup
posed to be in bed. 1t was only in the
solitude of her own chamber that Miss
Wycherly enjoyed freedom. She had told
Sistine, the Swiss maid. to leave her
alone for a while, and now she had come
out upon the balcony to cool her throb-
bling temples, and exult with the winds.
and with the moonlight, and with the
shadows-exult in the anticipation of the
ball at Beryl Court.

Ella to herself; and then she threw up
| her white arms and clapped her fair hands
| joyOusly, leaned over the balcony and be-
gan to sing a merry French song. but in
| a low key, for fear her mother should by
| some chance overhear her, and come in
| with that white wrath upon her face
| which the girl so dreaded.
Suddenly she paused. What was that!
! A figure was darting in among the laurels

! side-front. One Of the servants, perhaps,
or a poacher, or a burglar The figure
| came out again, and stood boldly in the
moons rays on the lawn, a slim, stalwart
figure enough. The man took oil his hat,
and the moonbeams fell on his fair hair.
"A charming night, Miss Wycherly."
Arthur Calthorpe"
Who would have thought OF his pirou-
| ett;ng among the shrubs round the east
front of Wycherly Hall at that hour OF
the night? Eleven o'clock, certainly.
What do you want?' said Ella brusk-

Samuel Reed. at Oakland City, built
a rousing fire in his kitchen range, pre-
paratory to breakfast, and while Mrs
Reed was standing directly in front of the
stove there was a tremendous explosion,
hurting fragments of the range through
the walls into the yard. blowing two
doors off their hinges and knocking out
three windows. The kitchen furnishings
were smashed. Fragments of iron were
forced through Mrs. Reeds dress. but she
escaped unhurt. while another fragment
struck a t~hree-gallon measure filed with
coal oil, setting the room ablaze. The
house was greatly damage1 before the
fire department had the mischief under
control During the night the pipes con-
meeting with the water works were frozen,
and the supply to the boiler Of the range
was cut off. The boiler was hot and dry
when the ice thawed and the explosion
was the result.
