some special work to do the fol-
lowing day. Not noticing that
the clock had been stopped some
FIVE or six hours, MIR. Shivel Set
the alarm, wound the clock and
retired. Upon hearing the alarm
sound he arose, had Mrs. Shivel
get up and prepare breakfast and
after eating heartily Mr. Shivel
lighted his pipe for his usual
morning smoke and while enjoy
ing himself in this way waiting
for day light to appear, heard
train No. 81 going South. Think
ing the train had been DELAYED
for some reason, Mr.. Shivel Con
suited his watch, and much 10 his
surprise, found that it was 1906.
