rather awkwardly. He was very
homely with nice blue-gray eyes that
seemed to become very deep and
shining when he beheld Edith.
GOOD morning." said Edith, put
ting her hand across the counter.
Andrew held it as long as he
could. "You look i'll this morning,
dear, he said anxiously. "I wish
you would let me carry these re-
sponsibilities for you. Your mother
needs son as well as daughter"
Dear, you couldn't just yet. It
would ruin your business. l did
come to ask your advice, Andrew.
Its about grandfather's clock"
What about it?"
Il want to sell it-have you a
customer"
There's a man up on the Point
who is just finishing his sixty
thousand dollar new house"
How much would he pay?"
Andrew named a sum that took
Edith's breath away. That's the
limit" he added.
HE can have ours, today. Will
you come and get it, dear?"
Edith was busting the clock just
because she liked to touch the IA
miliar old friend, and she polished
the shining faithful face with a few
words of apology for letting it go.
Andrew came in and examined the
clock thoroughly.
ut has never failed to go and it
has always kept good time" said
Edith IN the tone in which one whis-
pers of the dear departed. "Grand-
father put in new weights years ago
the old ones are upstairs in the
garrett"
Andrew detached the weights and
balanced them IN his hands.
Heavy" he said in a surprised
tone. Then he bent closer, and
scraped the surface of the weights
with his penknife. Bring me the
old iron weights, dear" he said ex-
citedly.
When the old ones had been at
tached and the old clock was tick
ing away once more, Andrew beck
oned Edith to the window. "Look
at this dear" he said.
Edith looked down at the new
weights and saw a yellow CLEAN
where the black paint had been
scraped away. ut looks like-gold,"
she whispered.
"It is solid gold-the other is the
same, Edith-that is what Grand
father Garland did with the gold he
found in 'Forty-nine.' Had it melt
ed down into these weights for the
clock-and kept a fortune in re-
serve! The old weights are in the
clock, after sixty-eight years rest.
and these-oh, my dear, we can
keep the clock, your mother can
have the operation now and an in
come for the rest of her life"
"And we can get married very
soon, Andrew" whispered Edith
softly, while the friendly old clock
licked cheerful blessing.

Who Killed
John Robin?
By RAY SAPERSTEIN
g Wheeler Syndicate. Inc.
WNU Service.

ON WEEK days Mr.. Benjamin
~ Tellifer sold ribbons, laces, no.
siery and underwear in Allenville's
leading dry goods emporium to sat
isfy his body, but Sundays and eve
nings he spent in manner suited
to the needs of his soul-which
called for detective stories.
In his youth Mr.. Tellifer had har-
bored a praiseworthy ambition to be
the worlds greatest sleuth, to make
his name and fame a terror to evil
doors the world over. But certain
young lady, to whom he was then
engaged, objected to life devoted
to the pursuit of crime, and made
it clear that no man, though other
wise possessing all the qualities
dear to maiden's heart, could fol-
low such a profession and still
aspire to her hand. So Mr.. Tellifer
married the lady, and thereafter
read about sleuths instead of being
one himself.
He was alone in the house one
evening, reading 1.-THE Mystery of
the Headless Guards" a truly de-
lightful tale.
Mr.. Tellifer laid down the book
with sigh of regret. He would
have enjoyed tussle with a gang
like that, but Allenville offered few
opportunities for a brave sleuth to
distinguish himself The majority of
its inhabitants were too honest, or,
at least, too law-abiding, to commit
a crime worth noticing, and too poor
to tempt criminals from other To-
calities. Now, the Robin house
Mr.. Tellifer rose and looked hope
fully through the window at the
house in question 1t was very much
like the homes described in the

Spreading 1t Thin

The new year poses problems and too often re-
poses old ones. One Of the most grievous of our old
ones Is the tipltcity of offices in which our
most willing workers find themselves ved year
after year.
People VINO are ready to pitch in and really work
are as numerous as purple and the result Is
that too often best brains being ID tied g.
gainst the problems of ha1f-dozen organi cations at
Spreading too thin the most indubi table of ta-
lents can benefit no Certainly, when the iner-
tia of group makes it easy to pin the heavy burden
on single individual, time after time, the reluct
ant and unwilling worker is not forced out Of his
stupor to join the stream of active workers. Stag
nation works no good for a person q community.
Neither however, does overwork.
happy balance can be best achieved by prodding
our more 1ethargtc friends out of their havens 50
that more pc rsons Will participate in affairs
and so make then ever democratic.
Further, the contribution Of more minds must of
necessity improve the workings Of organi zations
Certainly, who has actively parti CT pated
work will level the unjust accusations, Ignorant
gtbes, and cheap belittlement which has cone from
the drones Of this TOM in the past.
Let US give more people this next year active
civic life, and few hard workers restfl home
life. Fair exchange is robbery.
