At first sight this addition would seem to be a public clock, but it is in reality a much more novel atrange-men- t ' a public watch. It stands over the premises of a watch company, projecting out boldly into the great thorough-fateof High Holborn. The diameter of the large watch is five feet. The case is made of aluminum, and contains a secondary movement, controlled by a master clock situated in the office. Each side is provided with a dial, which has a second hand, iu addition to the hour and minute hands. At night the dials are lighted by two- - powerful searchlights of fifeach, one on either ty candle-powe- r side, and these are Controlled by a time switch, which turns on the lights at' a Stated time, and also cuts the -- well-know- n s illumtnants off. curiosity of this clock Is that the master clock contains a synchronizing device and an alarm signal, and if the large watch outside does not compare exactly with the clock inside as to time, the master clock rings every minute. This is a warning that the batteries are weakened and require to he refilled, and the synchronozing device gives an extra impulse every minute until the watch catches up to the master clock.

Little was said between the two as the boat moved swiftly along. Each was busy with thoughts, and both seemed under the spell of threatened trouble.

We're both awfully stupid today. Dont you think so?" I will tell you a secret two secrets. said John, gravely. Dont tell me secrets if you wish them kept, John, laughed Jessie.

I am going away, Jessie, because 1 love you. The little hand became Imprisoned in a tender clasp, and she listened as in a dream to the words which clamored for her love.

Curious Rule Prevails in the English Church at Monte Carlo. A curious fact anent the service held in the English church at Monte Carlo is that no hymn under thirty-seveis ever sung there. The reason for this may not be gene .ally It is as follows: a A member of the congregation, certain English peer, once went to the rooms on Sunday, immediately after the morning service, and put the maximum on thirty-two- , the number of the last hymn. It turned up, and the was widely Inspiration talked about, as such things are in tbs frivolous society of the principality. The next Sunday the little church was crowded and the last hymn being a low number, an unseemly rush to the rooms took place directly it was the announced. Curiously enough, number again turned up and the bank was badly hit. On the following Sunday the church would not hold all the worshipers. but their intent was frustrated, as all the hymns were "off the board and have been so ever since. ris had been shot with his own wrap STREET SIGN A WONDER. on. Jessie listened breathlessly. L had grown so dark that John cmili Watch Five Feet in Diameter Ole , X r ged him from the chair, and with grip of iron shook him as a dog does a rat. His wineglass fell with a crash to the floor. Another word, you drunken lnsult-e- r of women, and I will beat your head to a pulp! Morris guests threw themselves between the two men, and John relaxed his grasp on Morris neck. Dazed for the moment. Morris recovered himself, and his face became distorted with rage. Seizing a heavy bottle, he hurled it at Johns head. The bottle missed its mark and crashed through a mirror. Reaching into his pocket with a quickness wonderful in his condition, he drew a revolver, and before any one could interfere fired pointblank at John Burt, who was not three yards away. Like a panther, Burt leaped under the leveled arm. A second shot struck the ceiling. In a writhing, struggling mass, amid overturned chairs and tables, and the flight of panic stricken spectators, both men lurched heavily to the floor, John Burt uppermost. As they fell, a third shot was fired, the report being muffled as the shell exploded within their close embrace. The smoking weapon fell to the floor from the nerveless grasp of Arthur Morris. John Burt seized it and thrust it into his pocket, but the precaution was unnecessary. Morris lay on the sanded floor of the inn, stark and deathlike, a frown upon his face. On the white flannel shirt above his heart was an ominous smear of red, slowly widening in a circle with each respiration, before the eyes of the men who bent over him. A froth tinged with blood oozed and bubbled from his mouth. CHAPTER NINE. The Parting. John felt the touch of a hand on his shoulder, and, turning quickly, faced Sam Rounds. Fer God's sake, git outer here, John, as soon as ye can! whispered Sam. John hung back defiantly. Come on, John, Jessies waitin fer ye! At the sound of Jessies name a wave of agony swept over John Burt. With a glance at the motionless form of Morris, he turned and followed Sam Rounds. No hand was raised to stop him. The witnesses of the tragedy, held in a spell, had eyes for naught but Its victim. Jessie ran forward to meet him, her face white with fear. John? Oh, what has happened, What has happened?" Her voice trembled and her lips parted with a vague terror. Are you shot? Are you hurt, John? Oh, tell me, John! Im not hurt, darling, said John, looking into the uplifted eyes. Something has happened, and we must leave at once. I will tell you about it on the way home. By a stern effort John Burt mastered bis emotions and calmly told Jessie what had happened. He said no word of the shameful insults in which her name had been bandied in a public drinking place. He explained that a quarrel bad arisen, during which Mor A Bright Boy. chairman of the executive committee of the Steel Trust, used to live in. the Illinois town of Wheaton.

Fishing From Horseback. HEALTH CAMP FOR CONSUMPTIVES Worthy Enterprise Established in Southern California So Arranged That Patients May Be Self-Supportin- g. A New York paper publishes an account of a successful effort recently made by Mr. N. O. Nelson, in Southern California, to provide for the poorer classes. Mr Nelson has established at Indio, In Southern California, what he calls a health camp for consumpdetives. We quote the following scription of this wot thy enterprise with the hope that it may encourage others to do likewise; lor certainly no more beneficent can be undertaken by anyone. The camp is located in a desert valley, cut off from the ocean by the mountains. There, is no rain, no The w inter days are fog, no clouds all warm, the nights comparatively cold. The camp was established In December. 1902, to provide in part for tho large number of consumptives and other invalids who go to Southern California. Most of the Invalids have little means; they can not afford expensive sanitariums, and are not wanted by hotels and boarding Houses. To meet the requirements of such patients, Mr. Nelson bought one hundred and twenty-fivacres of land adjoining the Indio depot. This tract he has improved by sinking artesian wells, and by putting most of the land under cultivation. In order to give convalescents something to do. Tents, with all necessary equipment for sleeping and taking meals, have been set up. Land and water are free to those who have their own outfit. A small rental for tents Is made to those who can not pay, and where necessary, board Is given them. All expenses reed not be more than from $2.50 to $4.00 a week. Work Is provided for those who are able to do it, so that their care does not become a burden on the camp. The camp is situated in the midst of a sandy valley one hundred miles long and three to ten miles wide. The mountains on each side rise by and five degrees to four thousand thousand feet high. In some places in the foothills there are springs and vegetation. In the valleys most of the land has been taken up in the past few years. The crops of melons and vegetables are early and bring high prices. From $100 to $200 an acre is an ordinary yield. Alfdlfa hay is cut ten times a year, giving twelve to fifteen tons an acre. When the campers get well enough to work, they buy or lease a few acres. They can either buy the land on the Instalment plan, or lease it on shares for Buch length of time ps desired. larly careful so as not to be attacked by the almost ever present tubercle bncillus. There are four classes: First, those who have a hereditary predisposition to consumptiou; secondly, those who have weakened their system and thus predisposed themselves to consump lion by the Intemperate use of alcoholic beverages, by a dissipated life, by excesses of all kinds, etc.; thirdly, those whose constitution has been weakened through disease; fourthly, those whose occupations, trades or professions, such as printing, hat making, tailoring, weaving, and all occupations where the worker is much exposed to the inhalation of various kinds rf dust, have rendered them particularly liable to consumption. Let every one take courage and live above tuberculosis. If you are already suffering from It strive to rise above It. Avoid alcoholic beverages, condiments. pastries, tea and coffee. Live out of doors, provide fresh air for your bed room, study the laws of your body and return to the natural way of living. e , That Tired Feeling.
