Guarding Their
Slurnbers

Motif is primarily a thoughtful
young man. His consideration for
others has always been a dominant
trait of his character. So naturally
at the first insane whir of the alarm
clock he was plunged into dreadful
panic, even before he was really
awake.
In the first place, Motif was visiting
lat Irene's house. 1t was the first
time her family had ever, SO to speak,
collectively recognized that he was on
earth, and it behooved him to proceed
carefully and make good impression
at any cost. When he had got that
weekend invitation from her mother
written by Irene, to be sure-Mof1t
had thrilled with qualification. Great
possibilities seemed to be implied. Had
been as assiduous as himself all win
ter in paying attentions to Irene? And,
behold, the invitation came to him!
He took the alarm CLOCK because it
occurred to him that he might want
to arise early and go fishing and he
did not want to bother any one to call
him. The clock was one of these
patent affairs which ring violently UNI
til they are turned off by a lever,
Motif thought be had set if for 5
o'clock, but he must have been dream
ing of Irene at the time and SO made
a mistake, for now the clock was
tWhirrtng somewhere in the middle
Of the night in pitch darkness!
fSSsss's g,aaifessr a,..>-- -
AS he grabbed for the clock he was
full of the recollection of how Irene's
mother had said the evening before
that she had bad headache and hoped
that she could sleep it off. He also
recalled how Irene's father had said
almost boastfully that when he went
he slept well unless something woke
him up, but that if anything woke him
up he never slept another wink all
night. He was choleric-lOoking
man, too. In these circumstances the
densest person can understand why
Motif made a lunge for his alarm
clock. In doing so he knocked it of
on the floor.
Something snapped metallically, but
the alarm still kept on ringing. Sc
Mofit fell bodily upon the clock with
all the bedclothes dragging after him
and clasped it in his arms.
He stumbled across the room
switched on the light and looked for
the lever. Evidently it had been the
lever breaking off which had made the
metallic sound for now there wasn't
any lever!
Motif blinked in horror, then shook
the little clock wildly, but it steadily
continued it's chief business life. He
grabbed shoe with the mad thought
Tof breaking the clock to pieces. but
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1910-12-14

he quickly realized that the assault
would only increase the noise eman-
ating from his room. Thrusting his
fingers desperately over and around
the clock, he found small hole where
the lever had been and discovered
that by inserting a niger he pressed
a spring which stopped the alarm.
Thank heaven!" Motif breathed.
It was 230 by the face of the clock.
Motif, staring at it in growing con-
sternatiOn, figured that he would have
to sit there holding his finger on the
spring a number of hours. The pros
pect was not pleasant. Possibly a
match would do as well as his finger
but the room was lighted by cleo
tricity! Still tightly clutching the
clock, which clucked threateningly in
side it whenever he relaxed in the
least the pressure Of his finger,
Moffit hunted up his vest. The matches
he found therein were the small safe
ty kind which were useless for his
purpose.
He found a buttonhook on the dress
er and the clock let cut thrill peal as
he withdrew his finger and inserted
the bit of metal, which bobbed about
a bit and then fell out with clang,
letting the alarm ring forth in all it's
glory. Thereupon he fell upon the
clock again and put his finger upon
the spring. IA realized that he was
terribly, horribly sleepy!
Once he considered hurting the
thing from the .Window-but there
was an immoVable screen there and
he had but one hand at liberty. He
opened bureau drawers, hoping to
find something with which to smother
the clock, but the guestroom bureau
was en- oty. He thrust the clock I'M
der his illow with a quick jump and
tried S. aping on it, but it sounded
like huge humble bee.
Then he put his finger in the clock
again and dragged it out and sat and
held his head. Birds were beginning
to cheep outside and there was a
faint rustic of dawn. Suddenly it oc-
Cured to him to remove the extra
pillow case, LnrOCLl0 the CLOCK Ill us
folds, thrust the bundle into his suit
case and shut the suitcase in the
closet.
Having thus disposed of the clock,
Motif went back to bed. At any rate,
he had protected the slumbers OF
Irene's parents, which was the main
thing. He never could have faced
them if he had ruthlessly disturbed
them in the middle of the night with
the clamor of his foolish alarm clock
When Motif went down to breakfast
he met Irene's father, in the hall.
"Good-morning," said that choleric
gentleman 'I hope you rested well
Oh, since mother and I set up that
sleeping tent of ours out in the yard
we sleep in that tent in the back
yard? The children won't follow suit
but that's because they are foolish!
We haven't slept in the house all sum
! mer!"
"Oh," said Motif family.

PRESERVING
TIME

Mercy, mol" shifted the family imp,
exhibiting to the caller a hand
wrapped in bandages and cheek with
an extensive burn upon it. Il didn't
mangle myself in the ice cream freez-
er nor run up against poison ivy.
What happened? Why, mother took
a little vacation, and l did the pre-
serving.
81 have a tender heart" confided
the imp, as she rolled her eyes at her
twin sisters, who groaned audibly, 80
[ determined that as mother hated to
do up pineapples 1 alone would per-
form the task and surprise mother
when she returned.
LAS soon as l had received the Gus
tCmary postal from mother saying,
arrived safe, all WE'LL | phoned the
grocer.
In two hours four dozen luscious
pineapples were dumped on my kitch-
en- floor. It's never my way to say
die till I'm dead; but / must admit
that that prickly heap of fruit looked
to me as formidable as Gibraltar
However, I got the bread knife, sharp
ened it on the edge of the gas range
and thought how proud of me Algy
would be. Algy is my-er, Algy likes
me- ~~~~~s'.s .4s--'*'.
The imp tried to blush, but failed.
Cali that afternoon" narrated the
family imp, 81 worked like a harvest
hand, whacking off the stubble on the
ends OF those pineapples. Great pur-
pie indentations the size of a pencil
appeared in my hands. Then l de-
cided to quit Even thoughts of Algy
could not still the pain of these inden-
tations. Why, when he came that
night my hands were still so sore that
he had to massage them for three
hours in a quiet corner Of the porch.
"The next morning what did the
twins do but array themselves in their
grandest attire and start on picni; !!
They hadn't magnanimity enough to
help me in my woe. No, indeed; they
sneaked away" The imp glowered
upon them. "By the way, don't pine
apple skins stick closer then the shine
on your nose? Luckily for me, two
tramps came to the back door while
l was finishing the skinning, SO gave
my last seven pineapples away. If
| hadn't, l might not have lived to tell
the tale.
81 had started the job with bonn
bastic flourish of my knife and with
hands that looked fit to play the pi-
ano. I finished my twenty-ninth pine
apple with towel on each throbbing
fist. Toward the end l had knelt on
those pineapples to steady them; for

mutiIated hand than l could have

Postal Work,

Ascum-Say, what is the difference
between a fourth-class and a third
class postoffice, do you know?
Wise-Well, in the former the post
master always finds time to read all
the postal cards himself; in the latter
sometimes he doesn't.

aged to hold the receiver long enough
to phone to Algy. l told him of my
plight He suggested that since was
so completely done up we ought to go
somewhere for dinner. I accepted the
invitation, but when Algy called for

the doors. The twins"-the imp

the eyes OF the pineapples as easily
as the dentist takes out tooth. Con-
sequently, by o'clock that evening

exhausted. Only Algy's flow Of con-
versation enabled me to endure those
dreadful pineappies.
Sunday morning Algy came early.
All that remained was to make the
strip and pour it over the chopped
fruit. Algy did the chopping. 1 made

The imp felt the burn on her cheek
in a gingerly way

and he
Anyway, there was pull at my
arm, the pan shot up into the air,
there was a splash and l screeched
my best. Algy caught me in his arms
just as l was about to fall" The imp
cast down her eyes with studied
effort to appear confused.
"That very minute we decided to get
married in October. On the strength
of our blissful understanding Algy
sent for his mother to finish the pine
apples.
Mother was gloriously surprised
when she came home. But the twins

ring coyly. "The twins want mother
to go away again. They want to try
their luck preserving pineapples.''
