CLOCK FOUND VOICE
GREAT SHOCK THE CAUSE OF
REJUVENEscENcE.
Explosion Startled TimepEece to Work
Its Efforts Unappreciated
by the Tired Master
Of the House.

1t is An 4old-fashioned, eight-day
clock, and it stands on a shelf in the
kitchen of the apartment, between the
dumb-waiter and the ice chest.
Unused to such humble surround.
ings, for 1t had once graced gentle
mans library, the old clock has con-
sistently and steadfastly refused to
recognize its plebeian neighbors by
striking the hours. A faint click, when
the minute hand has completed its cir
cult, Is the only audible indication of
the fight of time.
But last Sunday the clock had the
most serious shock Of it's existence, a
shock that for a tine unbalanced it's
equilibrium to such an extent that
but the story Is progressing too rap
idly. The timepiece's mistress had
! bought, about t. days before, a gal
lon Of cider, del: cred to her by the
grocer in a heavy glass water bottle
Finding after a time that the cider
was fermentinG. she took the bottle
from the ice chest and set il on the
! window sill, where It stood safely. And
now ensues tragedy.
Some time after pine 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
I glass falling into the court below. An
excited rush by startled family, a
whisking on of electric lights, and a
/ kitchen floor deluged with hard cider,
and covered with splintered glass, was
(: revealed. The bottle had exploded,
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 swcnt, and the
<excfted and weary family had retired,
Hrthe 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 12 swept the
strokes Thirteen, ID, 15-was it
never going to stop? The mistress Of
the house turned wearily in her first
sleep, and thought she was dreaming.
Half an hour later, she reused 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
nave struck had 1t been permitted to
express all Of it's pent-up emotion; but
IT has been naughty and hasn't spoken
since.
