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 of the old clocks.
When these are sold frankly as rep
licas, there is nothing to be said
against such practice; but, unfor-
tunately, the matter does not stop here
and too often the attempt is made to
palm off an imitation as genuine
old clock. Famous makers names are
added and various expedicnts adopted
to make the new clock pass muster az
an old one. Such frauds are deplOra-
BILE from every point of view. and the
ignorance of many collectors makes
success possible. Every one, ii is OBJ
vious. canEot possess genuine old
clock. 1t would be well IL 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 genuine old English

CHAPTER XXI.

At least Il may be claimed for
George that his last night in the house
where lie 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 10 you last night, Aunt Fanny" he
said.
"Wby-why-" she stammered; but
she knew what he was going TO say,
aud that was why she had been more
and more nervous. ''Hadn't-perhaps

The old gentleman listened sympa-
