THE S8EMIDJI DAILY PIONEER e ——— THE CUPID CLOCK By AGNES G.'BROGAN. Nan went out of the way in order to pass again the shop where the clock was displayed. The clock had fasci- nated her from the moment that she had first seen it in the Jeweler’s win- dow—a cleverly fashioned bit of mech- anism, the face of the Cupid whose arm: encircled it worthy the study of an artist. Nan had many fancles about the little clock. She liked to picture it in the center of her plain mantelpiece, where the alarm clock now steod. The clock was . expensive, Nan thought, when she stepped into the small store to price it. An interested young man noted the wistful note in her voice as she questioned him as to the possibllity of the clock being promptly sold. “You see,” she added, “I want to buy 1t myself a little later.” The young man understood the sig- nificance of “a little later.” “We issue charge accounts,” he sug- gested. . Nan blushed. “I'd rather walt,” she answered frankly, “until I have the cash price.” The man gazing unaware into Nan's clear eyes was pretty certain that the clock would be in stock for some time. “They go to the bigger places as a rule for that sort of thing,” he told Nan. She pointed out that no bigger place could possibly offer a clock with that particular Cupid’s expression. B “He seems to be laughing right at one,” she said. The young man had noted the chal- lenging smile. “The little fellow seems cocksure of himself,” he said, and he also smiled— at Nan. When she was gone he removed the clock from the show window and placed it in a deep drawer. Nan, entering the store breathlessly next evening, wanted to know if it had been sold. The young man eagerly reassured her. “If customers don’t see it,” he ex- plained, “another clock will do as well. I am keeping it for you.” Nan was grateful, her eyes told him go. And the proprietor of the small shop stood, after she had departed, watching her trim figure out of sight down the street. “Saw a little clock In your window,” a collector of curios began, when the young man briskly interrupted. “Sold,” he said. It was radiant Nan who came glow- ing in out of a dismal shower to place her complete savings on the shop coun- ter, 3 s . . “I want my clock,” she triumphantly demanded. The proprietor-was as pleased over ‘the sale as herself. “You had better bring it in during the next few days,” he admonished ‘her, “to let me see how It Is running. ‘We like to keep them regulated at :first.” Nan obediently brought the clock In. It was keeping good time with Cupid :still silently jubilant. The young man hlx,nseil was not so | ‘Jubilant. It would be an unreasonable thing to ask his fair customer to re- turn again with so well-behaved a clock, also a suggestion to see her again would be under the clrcum- stances unwarrantable. The wistful note \\'hl‘c_'h had been in Nan's voice as she asked the price of the clock was in the young man's as he bade her goodby. “Fool,” he told-himself. “Why didn’t you -offer to carry the thing home to her?" " Nan laughed at the Cupid on her'no longer unadorned mantel. L:Xou dear !” she said, “you make me FROM CHERRY:BLOSSOM LAND The Japanese Give Good Example 1t is & pro- verb of Cherry Blossom Land that beauty of face and fig- ure depend on womanly health. What is it that makes our American wo- men often pale, sallow-faced, with dark cir- cles under the eyes, and very often old at forty-five when they should be in their prime? ‘Women suf- fer in girlhood from back- ache, spine-ache and headaches, fo}lowed b{ irregularities and as a result diseases of the womanly organs are more common than any one but a physician in active practice could suppose.

You're hypnotizing-me, so that.1 start out singing in my heart every day.” But if Nan started out singing she returned at evening-wearily and with an unaccountable disappointment where the song had been./ She had not passed the shop once, though she had often wished to do so. Common sense asked her why she ghould go out of her way and to what purpose? And Nan could only bow to common sense and take the short and prudent way homeward. On a certain evening of depression Nan saw as she glanced at the clock that its hands were still at the hour when she had left in the morning—the hour also to which the roguish Cupid poibted—and the hands refused to be moved. Her depression vanished finexpli- cably as she wrapped A’the clock, paus- ing to look appraisingly in the mirror. The jewelry shop was still open when she reached it, the young proprietor gazed up at her entrance wide-eyed. He seemed to have difficulty in speak- ing. “I—I was.not expecting to see you,” he explained. i Silently Nan handed over the clock. Then all at once, in fear of losing her again perhaps, or in desperate confi- dence, he leaned toward Nan. “We will- fix the clock later,” he sald. “The little fellow’s idea appears to be to emphasize the hour of eight. Won’t you walve ceremony, please, and let me walk home with you now— at that hour?” To Nan's astonishment she replied that she would. That was the begin- ning. Their wedding ceremony later ,was also set for the hour of eight. (Copyright, 1919, Western Newspaper Unlon) New Roads in France.
