He was rather amused at the idea of a tramp stealing a ride on his own car. The stranger followed without the least embarrassment and accepied with easy courtesy the stiff drink that Newman prescribed as an antidote for the cold. “If T can wash my hands some- where,” the tramp suggested when the warmth had penetrated his half- frozen body, “I'll work my passage. I used to be a pretty good hand at the typewriter in the old days. If you have any routine stuff that an out- sider can see, I'll clear that away for you. I know how it is when the mail gets piling up.” He moved toward the closed type- writer desk in a corner of the salon and raised the cover. He nodded as le saw the machine was in good con- dition, and then followed the porter to the wash room whence he emerged with clean hands and face and ‘well- brushed hair. Newman stared at the transformation. “I'm not a tramp,” was the easy ex- planation. “I am merely out of a job and without a reference to get an-| other berth. 1 was unwise in falling | in love with my boss' daughter.

His fingers fairly flew over the Kkeys and presently he passed a sheet over to Newman., It was terse and comprehensive, and Newman nodded. The president reached for the pasket and removed a few of the more impor- tant letters, then indicated the rest. “Do those,” he ordered, “and you will be able to make New York in a day coach instead of a box car.” The letters were out of the way and slgned before the train whistled for Tuwora, and Newman turned to his self-appointed helper. “Want to go on from tha division point or stay on and be my secre- tary?" he asked. ] “I'll stay,” was the quiet response. only 60 miles from your headquarters. I'll marry her yet.” “That's the way to talk,” cried New- man. *“If you want a girl, fight until you get her.

The only available shelter s the farm of a clurllsh man named Gruden, The story is told by D'er- cival Gibbon ig McClure's Magazine.] He came out from the doorway and brought the light of the lantern to bear on the woman, where she sat | with her head leaning on her hus- band's shoulder. He bit his thin lips in as he inspected them in all their miserable poverty and loneliness. The tramp turned slavish eyes up to him, those hopeless but still imploring eyes with which lost men endeavor to pla- cate their masters. “H'm!” snorted Gruden, and turned again to Miss Gregory. : “It's from Addington you come, eh? Fifteen mile! Then your carringe'll be walting for you somewheres?” “I came out for a walk,"” explained Miss Gregory. “I walked rather far- ther than I meant to, and lost my way.

THE WONDERS OF A WATCH The Average Person doesn't reaiize that there are 175 parts in a watch, and in complicated ones up ty 1.000 parts, which must work in harmony—that the balance wheel ;ibrates 18.000 revolutions per HOUR. and that back of all those vibrations is the controlling spring. requiring the most skillful adjustment: for the balance wheel travels 3.559 MILES in a year, and must do it "ON TIME ."
