WAlSER'S old CLOCK
It Ran for Years, but All Was
Forgotten When It Suddenly
Stopped.
BY HAROLD CARTER.

The old clockmaker was seated In his
Office, his head upon his hands, his
elbows on his desk. bordering. He &C.
cupied tiny Office in an old-fashioned
part Of New York. downtown, and he
had sat there for great part of each
day since he came to America fifty
years before, bringing with him the
skill of twelve generations of Swiss
clockmakers. Walsers clocks never
varied by more than five minutes q
year. Great. old-fashioned GRANDPA.
Tiers clocks they were, and because
the modern fashion is for cheap and
gaudy things, he sold only to a few
old-fashioned customers. and his whole
stock was stored in the small ware.
house and workshop at the back of his
Office. But ne had hoped to hand down
the business to his successors-yes. he
had hoped that the tradition would
not die out with him.
And he had driven Ernst, his only
son, his only child, out Of his home
for ever. Ernst was the last Of the
Walsers, and with his action he had
effectively cut himself of from all the
generations that were to come. How
foolish his quarrel had been! It
was about q girl whom Ernst wanted
to marry. and because he had not told
his father all about It old Walser had
taken unbrage.
"Who is she?" he asked angrily. And
Ernst answered that she was q domes.

CHINA'S APPEAL FOR PRAYER
"can't Do Harm; May Do Good" an
official Of the New Cabinet Has

appeal for the prayers Of Christians

The non.Christian Chinese official
takes the same view as the Roman
pro-consul that such prayers can do
no harm and may do good. in add.
ton to securing the support of q pow.
erful section Of the people. But the
conviction Ia gaining ground that II
Christianity Is to become vital fac
tor In Chinese national life. It must be
free from foreign control. for 1t has al.
ways been against the Christian as q
foreigner, and not as the upholder Of
a new creed, that Chinese resentment
has been shown in the past. There is
a vigorous movement on foot for the
foundation of Chinese Free church,
Protestant in character and free from
the control Of European bishops and
missionaries. The minister OF foreign
affairs and the present minister in
Berlin are both supporters of this
movement. which Is gaining ground
steadily.

That was the precise time at which
Ernst put on his hat and left the
house.
The old man fell back in his chair
and stared in establishment at this
phenomenon.
Presently, when curiosity overcame
his terror, he opened tina care and
peered in. And swiftly enough the
cause was revealed. Wedged tightly
into the mechanism was a clockwork
mouse.

with the cogs of the mechanism, and,
happening to be wound up. the clock

ing the hands flying round the dial till
it ran down.
Walser drew out the mouse and
looked at it. It was rusty ancient
toy such as is retailed upon the streets
for nickel. or perhaps a dime. Half
Of the tail was gone, and the beady
eyes stared out Of battered and
moldy face. Then the old man remem.
bered. Years before he had brought
that mouse home for his son Ernst. in
the days when he was a baby. playing
about the floor Of the nursery. The
child must have placed his toy inside
the old clock and forgotten all about
It.
Walser rose up solemnly and put on
his hat. He turned to the clock and
his voice was choking with emotion.
II know now" he said. that this Is
a Judgment and a miracle in one" And
he thought Of his father. the old clock
maker. and how he had been wont to
tell him that the good deeds which
are done always bring results. even In
other lives. He did not doubt that
because his father had been an hon.
est craftsman. his handiwork had
borne witness to him. for his own
sake.
Ten minutes later he got of a street
car at Washington square. He ar.
rived at a dingy. shabby house. and,
scanning the list Of names on the un.
painted lette boxes, discovered that
Of his son. Walser made his way up
to the top floor and knocked.
A comely young woman came to the
door.
"You are" queried Walser.
II am Mrs Walser," she answered
in very sweet voice. "You have bust

you are my sons wife?" shouted

And suddenly he flung his arms
about her anti drew her to him and
kissed her. And at the audible sound
Ernst came to the door, looking shah
by and thin, but with fire in his eye
and fists doubled to repell this assault
upon the sanctity of his home. Seeing
his father he halted dead.

tic servant. Then the old mans anger
flared out, for the Walsers traced their
descent from princes and Walser had
mixed so little with his kind that the
old traditions fingered
If he had been less angry and Ernst
less proud he would have learned that
Elsa was studying social science and
had taken her position for reasons
which certainly were no discredit to
her. But the embittered old man was
not in any mood to listen to reason,
nor Ernst to explain. Old Walser
turned to his son.
He pointed to an old clock which
had licked away the hours minute by
minute ever since he had brought 1t to
America.
Ernst" he eaid hoarsely. that
clock was made by my father for his
serene highness the prince Of Lutter-
ling. My father was once engaged to
marry the princes daughter. She died.
but the match was never considered
unequal. The Walsers have been a
proud old family though they are clock
makers. And you--you-you are 60

"Well. marry her. but from this mo-
ment you are no longer Walsei. I
disown you by the memory OF my IA

piece. when that clock, which my
father made in 1888, goes wrong by as
much as ten minutes In day, will

Now go!"
And Ernst went.
The old clock never varied Sy as
much as minute day. Its melan.
choly tick was wearing the old mans
heart away. He moaned in his misery
as he sat at his desk. How gladly he
would have had his son back, servant
wife and all! II only he had not been
so hasty!
A good boy, too-Ernst had alwayA
been a good son to him. He had never
thwarted or crossed him until that
furious quarrel began. And now Ernst
was starving in garnet In Washing
ton square-so much he had learned.
And he was married to his servant
wife. Their lives were abjectly miser-
able, for the boy was working as q
shipping clerk at ten dollars a week!
He swung round In his chair and
shook his fist at the old clock.
you swine. you dog. you pig!" he
shouted. Cant you 60 wrong just for
this once, 30 that / can keep my word
and ask my son to come back to me?
He swept his fingers across the glass.
and the clock licked heavily In an.

heard, and the hands began racing
furiously round and round the old

Governor. makes il criminal to make
an agreement which directly or indi-

the Legislature that the bill be amend
ed by adding the word 'llnowinYiy,' so
that IL would read that any person or
persons who wilfully and knowingly
makes nh agreement in restraint OF
trade should be punished. I under
stand that it is a general principle OF
law that there must he a guilty mind
to constitute a guilty act. It seems
10 me that this affords ample protec-
ton to any honest man.
1T has been said in some quarters
that these laws will help big business
and hurt the small dealers. That Is,
OF course. not the intention. and II can
not be the effect The salutary pro-
vision of the act defining trusts is
that 1t makes 1t unlawful to make any
agreement directly or indirectly. which
will preclude free and Unrestricted
