They wrought with the oars like

before the dory left the inshore shoals.
The commonest precautions, how
ever. made them pause and rest upon
their oars while yet little way from
their goal.
Only an ominous silence rewarded
the utmost efforts of their strRining
senses; no sound was audible other
than the gentle whine of an ungreased
block; nothing was visible beyond the
sinister glare Of that almost stationary
green lantern.

"Then-let's go to 1t! Give way!"
A dozen lusty strokes brought them
alongside the schooner, and as the
dory scraped the waist of the larger
vessel the two young men dropped
oars, rose, and seizing the low gun
wales, lifted themselves to the deck.
Nothing opposed them; the deck was
ignorant Of other footsteps than their
own, the schooner as silent as only a
becalmed ship can be.
Without further consultation, Alan
led quickly aft and down the compan-
ionway to the cabin, where dim light
burned-a smoky lamp swinging in
gimbals above cluttered table.
OF the two stateroom doors one dis
closed an empty cabin. the other was
locked.
Trying the handle roughly Alan
fancied he heard sound within. Paus-
ing. he called, with thrill Of fearful
hope:
Hello, in there!"
The respone was cry of incredulous
delight: "Alan!"

it seemed certain always TO return in

the blank pallor OF the encompRssing

At irregular intervals. starting
from preoccupation, he would manipu-

There followed an exceedingly busy
quarter Of an hour for two constrained
in pitch darkness to grope their way
about the decks and familiarize them
selves with the idiosyncrasies of
strange two-master. Nevertheless, the
end Of that period found the schooner
with canvas full and sheets taut, a
good easterly breeze abeam, swiftly
weaving a wake southwards- the light
on Monomoy point watching her curt

Clock Made Long Ago In ireland Wlth
Wheels of Wood, still Keeps

For three generations an old grand
fathers clock owned by w. Nash Of
2619 East Eighteenth street has count

sas City correspondent Of the New
York World.
Seventy-ave years ago the mother
Of Mr. Nash, then young girl, sent
back to her old home in County Ty~

new home She was to marry an
Irish lad she had met in the new coun-

Most important of her orders was
one for a clock to be made especially

The clock came at last It was in
a case Of cherry wood, grand to be-

Tho wheels, with one exception, are
Of wood So carefully were they
carved and of such fine hard wood
we're they made that today the old
clock still keeps almost perfect time
There is one small brass wheel in the
case
Only twice has it ever had to be re-
paired and then thorough cleaning
was all that was necessary. In 1853
it was sent to clock repairer L
Reicht. in Platte City, Mo. And 50
years later, in 1909 Il was sent again
to him. Although he was then an old
man, his hands we're stilI skilled 10
the repairing of delicate machinery.
However, the old clock was once
more merely in need Of cleaning. and
it was soon sent back to the home Of
Mr.. Nash, where it is now ticking as
cheerfully as ever. There is no indi
