he went for it at noon he found
that somebody had stolen 1T.
Disconsolate over his loss he
sought to drown his sorrow in a
half-hour of play with Prince, his

to discover that somebody had stolen

And to cap the climax and add in

day he fell while at play and was so
badly injured about the head that
he was in bed until this morning.

TONY WELLER,S WATCH

Mr. PicKwiCk enjoys International
reputation. His fame is shared by
Samuel Weller. and the father of that
worthy, Mr.. Weller, senior, is certainly
a parsonage of no small interest. So
that when it comes to the sudden ap-
pearance of Mr.. Weller seniors watch,
in the columns of the Times, of Lon
don, all right-minded Pickwiclians will
feel properly thrilled.
On one hot September morning Times
readers persuing their paper came upon
the readline. Mr.. Weller's Watch" :"
and the following letter. "Sir, 1 am
the fortunate owner of a watch which,
believe, once belonged to Mr.. Wei
Ier senior. The watch is a pound in
weight, within fraction of an ounce.
1t is verge. double-cased watch, by
Edward Manley, London, No. 1894.
l have had the watch verified as about
1880, five or six years, anyway, before
the publication of 'Pickwick.' The
watch is of silver, with proper hall
marks, which of course give the date.
On the back of the outer case is in
scribed MIR. Weller, Senr.'
William Canon Smith, of st. Mary's
Little Crosby, Liverpool, writer of the
letter to the Times, obtained the watch
from a George Parker, an Uppingham
and oxford man, who states the watch
had been given him by lady, who told
Mr.. Parker that she had often seen
Charles Dickens riding on the box
seat of the Bath and Bristol coach with
Mr.. Weller senior. The present owners
opinion is that the watch must have
been a show article made for a shop
window and given to Mr.. Weller by
iovial and admiring friends. 1t is too
large to have been worn. There is quite
possibly something more to be known
about this ponderous timepiece of Sam
uel Weller, senior If SO, the fortunate
owner" desires to be informed of it.
