fraudulent Old Clocks.

The brass lantern clocks of the six
teenth and seventeenth centuries have
made strong appeal to collectors.
and this fact has led to the manufac-
ture of replicas lof the old clocks.
When these are sold frankly as rep
licas, there is nothing to be said
against such a practice; but, unfor-
tunately, the matter does not stop here
and too often the attempt is made to
palm off an imitation as a genuine
old clock. Famous makers names are
added and various expedients adopted
to make the new clock pass muster as
an old one. Such frauds are deplora-
Bile from every point of view, and the
ignorance of many collectors makes
success possible. Every one, it is OBJ
vious, cannot possess genuine old
clock. It would be well If this fact
were faced. and the clocks bought
simply as reproductions, by all those
who are not in position to make
reasonably sure that they are really
purchasing a genuine old English
clock.-Christian Science Monitor.

CHAPTER XXI.

At least it may be claimed for
George that his last night in the house
where he had been born was not oc-
cupied with his own disheartening fu-
ture, but with sorrow for what sac
rifices his pride and youth had de-
manded of others. And early in the
morning he came downstairs and tried
to help Fanny make coffee on the
kitchen range.
"There was something / wanted to
say to you last night, Aunt Fanny" he
said
"Why-why" she stammered; but
she knew what he was going to say,
and that was why she had been more
and more nervous. perhaps
perhaps we'd better get the-the
things moved to the little new home
first, George. Let's"
He interrupted quietly, though at
her phrase, "the little new home," his
pungent impulse was TO utter one loud
shout and run. "It was about this new
place that / wanted to speak. I've
been thinking it over and I've decided.
1 want you to take all the things
from mothers room and use them and
keep them for me, and I'm sure the
little apartment will be just what you
like; and with the extra bedroom prob
ably you could find some woman
Friend to come and live there and
share the expense with you. But I've
decided on another arrangement for
myself, and sc I'm not going with you.
I don't suppose you'll mind much, and
I don't see why you should mind-par-
ticularly, that is. can't imagine you,
or anyone else, being much attached to
ane, So"
He stopped in amazement: no chair
had been left in the kitchen, but
Fanny gave despairing glance around
her in search of one, then sank abb
ruptly and sat fiat upon the floor.

to her sect up, Aunt Fannyw
81 can't. I'm too weak. Let me
alone, George!" And as he released
the wrist he had seized to help her she
uttered the dismal prophecy which for
days she had been matching against
her hopes: you're going to leave
me-in the lurch!"
"Why no, Aunt Fanny" he protest
ed l"At first I'd have been something
of a burden on you. I'm to get eight
dollars a week; about thirty-two a
month. The rents thirty-six dollars a
month, and the table d'hote dinner
runs up to over twenty-five dollars
apiece, so with my half of the rent
eighteen dollars-Td have less than
nothing left out of my salary to pay
my share of the groceries for all the
Breakfasts and luncheons. You see
you'd not only be doing all the house
work and cooking, but you'd be paying
more of the expenses than / would"
She stared at him with such a for
zorn Darkness as he had never seen.

that it wasn't good enough excuse
for him that he was young and mex
perienced-he'd have to go. They took
him down to the river. and put him in
canoe, and pushed him out from
shore; and then they ran along the
bank and wouldn't let him land, until
at last the current carried the canoe
out into the middle, and then on down
to the ocean, and he never got back
They didn't want him back, of course,
and if he'd been able to manage it.
they'd have put him in another canoe
again. But still. they didn't elect an
other chief in his place. Other tribes
thought that was curious, and won
dered about it lot, but finally they
came to the conclusion that the beech
grove people were afraid a new chief
might turn out to be bad Indian, too
and wear iron shoes like VendOnah
But they were wrong, because the real
reason was that the tribe had led such
an exciting life under Vendonah that
they couldn't settle down to anything
tanner. He was awful, but he always
kept things happening terrible things,
of course. They hated him, but they
weren't able to discover any other
warrior that they wanted to make
chief in his place. They couldn't help
feeling that way"

'"'And so you're going to stay here in
your garden, he said musingly 'sYou
think it's better to keep on walking
these sunshiny gravel paths between
your flower beds, and growing to look
like a pensive garden lady in a Vic
torian engraving"

ant-but it was excitement. I don't
want any more; in fact, I don't want
anything but you.
'You don't?" He looked at her keen
~, and she laughed and shook her
head; but he seemed perplexed, rather
doubtful. "What was the name of the
grover" he asked. 1.-THE Indian name,

"Mola- Haha.''

do as soon as possible / wanted to
get started today if I could"
Old Frank gave him long stare. At
first this scrutiny was sharply incred-
ulous; then it was grave; finally it de-
veloped into threat of overwhelming
laughter; a forked vein in his fore
head became more visible and his eyes
seemed about to protrude.

rising, took up his hat and overcoat.

George told him.
The old gentleman listened sympa-

acquiescence.
'You see she's set her mind on this
apartment" George explained. "She's
got some old cronies there, and guess
she's been looking forward to the
games of bridge and the kind of harm
less gossip that goes on in such places.
Really, it's a life she'd like better than
anything else-better than that she's
lived at home, really believe. It
struck me she's just about got to have
it. and after all she could hardly have
anything less"
'This comes pretty heavily upon me,

into that headlight company, and she
fooled me about her resources as much
as she did your Uncle George. / was

''Not at all. I'm taking the response

corner Of his mouth. "I'll tell you how
it is, sir" He flushed, and. looking out
of the streaked and smoky window be-
side which he was sitting, spoke with
difficulty. II feel as if-as if perhaps

"Oh, / don't know: / shouldn't say

doubt if she's minded so much. 1t

"But up to now is the important

thing else that pays from the start.

Frank, smiling. II can't think of any

"What is it?"
