GREAT SHOCK THE CAUSE ;F

Explosion Startled Timepiece &c Work
- Its Efforts Unappreciated
by the Tired Master
of the House.

1t is an old-fashioned, eight-day
clock. and it stands on shelf in the
kitchen Of the apartment, between the
dun:b-waiter and the ice chest.
Unused to such humble surrould
incs. for it had once graced a gentle
mans library, he old clock has con-
sistently and steadfastly refused to
recognize it's plebeian neighbors by
striking the hours. a faint click. when
the minute hand has completed it's cir
cult. is the only audible Indication Of
the flight of time.
But last Sunday the clock had the
most serious shock OF it's existence, q
shock that for til @. unbalanced its
equilibrium to such Cn extent that
but the story is progressing too rap
idly. The timepiece's mistress had
bought, about t days before, a gal
Ion Of cider, de-: cred to her by the
grocer in a heavy glass water bot tie.
Finding after a time that the cider
was fermentirE. she took the bottle
from the ice chest and set IT. on the
window sill, where 1t stood safely. And
now ensues tragedy.
Some time after mir" o'clock on Sun
day evening, the silence of the house
was broken by report that might
have come from the heaviest of fowl
ing pieces, followed by the crash Of
glass falling into the court below: An
excited rush by a startled family a
whisking on of electric lights. and a
kitchen floor deluged with hard cider,
and covered with splintered glass. was
cd
breaking two empty milk bottles in it's
crash, and blowing out the window
pane.
No one thought Of the old, clock,
then, but later. when the kitchen floor
had been mopped and swant. and the
excited and weary family had retired,
the aged timepiece's shattered nerves
gave way. The calm composure of
months was broken 1t was midnight.
Click went the old clock And then,
one, two, three-on to IL swept the
strokes. Thirteen, IA, 15-was 1t
never going to stop? The mistress of
the house turned YEARLY in her first
sleep, and thought she was dreaming.
Half an hour later, she roused as the
master OF the house tiptoed in, sitting
irritated mirth.
Il waited till the blamed thing
struck LOOP, and then / couldn't stand
1t any longer. You'll find your apron
stuffed into the case tomorrow. Even
taking of the pendulum didn't do any
good" And then he turned In.
The next morning they speculated
over the breakfast toast and coffee as
to how many times the old clock would
have struck had It been permitted 10
express all Of its pent-up emotion; but
it has been naughty and hasn't spoken
since.

WoMAN's MEMORY FOR FACES
LEADS TO CAPTURE
Charles Marston Admits Stealing from
ice Cream Dealer Who Opened
Home and Table to
Him

A woman's remarkable faculty for
remembering faces was responsible
for the arrest last night of Charles
MarstOn, who had successfully eluded
the police of several cities since May
Is, when he ransacked the home of his
benefactor stealing ostrich plumes,
jewelry several silver military brush
es, a suit case, clothing, a gold mug
get and numerous other articles.
Marston, who confessed his guilt
after his arrest by Patroman Fickert,
strolled into Ocean Park last May,
out of funds and work, and appealed
to a former Oakland friend, w. e.
Mathews, an ice cream dealer Z Ca
sino street, for aid. Marston and
Mathews had been close friends in
former years, and Mathews readily
agreed to give his friend employment
and a home until fortune would again
smile on him.
Marston worked a few days, and one
noon Mathews gave him the key to
his home, 13S Raymond avenue, TO get
his luncheon, as the rest of the family
was away, and he would have to help
himself
That Marston not only helped him
self to food, but most everything of
value chat ne could comfortably carry,
was the unpleasant discovery that
Mathews made when he returned to
his home that night.
His friend" had left without leav-
ing his future address and had taken
a new suit of Mathews clothing, a
suit case valuable ostrich plumes, sill
yer military brushes, jewelry, gold
nugget and other small articles.
Mathews at once notified the police
of Los Angeles and other adjacent
cities. giving description of Marston,
but no arrest resulted.

peared familiar and at once the story
of the almost forgotten robbery of
her nephew's home flashed across her
mind
She sent word to Mr.. Mathews, who
came to Los Angeles yesterday, and
after inquiry at the office of the Sun
set Telephone company became con-
vinced Marston was in the company's
employ.
His investigation proved the fact and
the missing man was turned over to
Patrolman Fickert. Marston confessed
to the robbery and told Mathews where
some of the stolen articles could be
recovered.

Colsardo recognized me, but as I had
to work one more day before received
my pay I decided to take the chance
before leaving the city, as I realized
would be arrested If located. I was

I had no money"
