IN SHAPE OF LOCOMOTIVE
Remarkable Clock That Has Been Con.
structed by Ingenious Kansas Me-
chanic-Eight.Day Type.

Quite a curious clock has been con-
structed by a Kansas mechanic in
the form of a miniature locomotive.
The dial, which is made of imitation
ebony, is fixed on one side of the
highly ornate cab of the engine and
is studded with small ruby and green
colored incandescent lamps.
The interior of the cab is supplied
with several other tiny globes, while
the headlight, which is fitted with
both reflector and lens. also mounts
a lamp. A switch controlled by
the clock automatically turns the
current on at six o'clock in the eve
ming and cuts it OF IL hours later.
The headlight, the lamps in the cab,
and those ON the face of the clock
are wired in separate circuits.
Each of these groups is flashed In
dependently Of the others at inter
walls of about Is seconds and remains
lighted for period of approximately
three seconds. The clock is of stand.

release deed. Monks foreclosed on
the old trust deed and seized the prop
erty.
On the bleak Dakota prairie, half
way between the two towns, Mr.. Bliss
owned a small farm. This was not in
cluded in the mortgage, and was in
herited by Norman, free of incum-
brance. It was a solitary, desolate
spot, but his only possession. With
manly spirit and a hopeful heart, he
took up his abode in the little one
story house, and started in to get
profit out of the land.
1t proved to be phenomenal sea-
son for wheat, and he was proud and
joyful when he had disposed Of the
crop and figured up his gains. That
winter Viola was again at Plainfield,
visiting her relatives. Norman brought
his only live stock, his sturdy farm
team, to Plainfield, stabbed it at .
livery and remained a month in the
| town.
During those blissful four weeks he
was almost a constant companion OF
Viola. Not a word of love passed be-
tween them, but he had every reason
to believe that Viola took something
more than friendly interest in him.
self and his fortunes. When he had
hidden her good.by, her brother invited
him to their house in Riverdale in the
early spring, and there was a positive
echo of the invitation in the express
sive eyes of his pretty sister.
So, all through the rest of the win
ter, Norman lived on the encourage
ment all this presaged. He hired
man to run the farm early in May, and
went to Riverdale. as said. with
happy, hopeful heart.
Young Tascott acted like a true
friend, and Viola welcomed him will

a room at the village hotel. Ever!

One Snowy
Night
By FRANCES E. LANYON


Copyright. 1916. by w. G. Chapman.)
Norman Bliss had come to River
dale with happy, hopeful heart. He
left 1t gloomy, disappointed and dis
couraged Ringing in his ears were
words it seemed he never would for
get:
Il would not marry this country
lout, II he were the last man in the
world"
And Viola Tascott had spoken that
fatal sentence - peerless, beautiful
Viola. whom he had come to Riverdale
tc see. to WOO, to wed, II she would
but say the word.
And now, driving his farm team
back to his lonely, lowly prairie home,
the brave stalwart young fellow
flinched as he thought over the vivid
heart history of the past week.
He had lived in Plainfield, fifty miles
across country from Riverdale, where
his father died. At the former town
Viola had come to visit cousin, and
he had met her. They were quite COM
panionable, when old Mr.. Bliss died
suddenly. The family home and some
other property had been owned by
Mr.. Bliss and, of course. Norman
would inherit it. When the estate
came to be settled up, however, one
James Monks, a lawyer, seized the
same under a mortgage.
Norman was amazed. Time and
again he remembered his father had
told him that the old mortgage on the
property had all been paid up. The
records, however, did not show any
