Iler days were passed behind a counter where a variety of neckwear waa displayed. The remuneration was small and served only to provide her with a "home" and the simplest of gowns, The watch for which bar soul hungered might have been the moon or the Roc's est. But mora trying than the privations aha endured wis the cheapness, the narrowness of bet life, so different from the gentle sur roundings of her girlhood. It waa bar birthday, bar eighteenth year, and Sunday dry free from the aula walkers espionage, a bappy com blnation which iryra enjoyed to the full A long afternoon In the crisp, cool air of the park was a bappy cli max. It was turning dusk as she left the park. The city lamps already shone in a long line down the avenue. On the aide streets the shadows fell black and ugly, ..causing a few buildings to stand out In bold relief. Suddenly a flash from a passing automobile struck a small, round object that glittered near the curbing. Myra bent over to pick It up. Had some beneficent fairy godmother thrown the gift at her feet? It -was a watch, and on her birthday! She seized It rapturously and, looking neither to the. right nor left, fled up the steps of her boarding house; never pausing until she stood In the ball room she called her home. She lighted the gas and drew down the shade, then Dreamless examined ber new found treasure. The small hunting case was of gold, with no mark to Identify It, and set In diamonds. "Yon little beauty," whispered the girl as she caressed it with ber fingers. Then, with woman's curiosity, she tried to open the back. It was difficult, but at last Myra gasped with surprise. The face of a young man. with honest eyes and kindly mouth, looked Into ber own, "I wonder If he owns the watch?" she thought "No. It's a woman's trio- l t ) l . . mi til i.V s rOM HAD PKE8EKTED MTBA WITH A GOLD WATCH. kct. lie must have given it to the giri-and If so he" Myra abruptly closed the case. But ibe could not shut out the face from her mental vision. She passed her evening rocking slow ly in her chair, with a magazine be tween ber fingers, the gentle ticking of the watcb counting the passing hours, That night she dreamed not of the watcb, but of a life which the watch typified, and through the dream stalked 'a man whose face was the face in the watch. She awoke a little after 6 to revel in the delight of knowing the exact hour and turning luxuriously over for another fifteen minutes. All day she thought about her won derful acquisition and smiled happily to herself. The other girls noticed it and twitted ber in their good natured if rather coarse way. Myra laughed, but guarded ber secret and hurried home to pass another evening of de lightful possession. Three days passed,' and, though the watch Itself was a never falling source of delight, as the actual realization of her dreams It was the picture that crept Into bet heart She told ber secrets to those honest eyes and called him "dear friend." lie seemed somehow to understand her every whim. The whole world could trust you, and Fd trust you absolutely " she told him one night very softly. "The other girl trusts you too? The other girl! How sorry she must be to lose your plcturef' " , Then suddenly, without any warning, Myra awoke to the truth. The watch,' the picture, were not hers! She had no right to keep them. She turned to the window and looked drearily out over the roofs of bouses. "I never thought of It, not once. They're not mine. They are hers. Hers, ' and I kept them. It's the same as Healing. I never thought" .Tbfii Do8hcsi)enJLbaJnbojr j mnulng over tiewNimper flies In the library. She found the description in Ibe "Lost and Found" column and made note ogthe address with eyes grown uilsty. ,, , : She put off the evil day until Sunday and decided to enjoy to the full ber last day of the fairy gift which waa to vanish so soon. She slipped a narrow black ribbon ou the watch and reck lessly wore it all day. She did not dare to look at It or exhibit It to the girls, but the knowledge that It waa ticking steadily In ber belt brought totnfort "Can I see the lady the one who lost ber watch T' she .asked, and she waa at once shown into a room with luxurious appointments. There was a log Are In the grate, with comfortable lounging chairs and books In every available space. It carried Myra back to those other days now dim In ber memory. "You have found my watcb How glad I ami" The speaker came close to Myra, with outstretched hands and eager mile. She waa aa beautiful at any of the women whom Myra served during business hours. The girl laid the watcb In the other's hand.. Surely with all Miss Shepherd possessed she could have spared this toy, but It was hers, and she must have It . "It was my mother's," suid Miss Shepherd softly. "That la why I can not thank you enough. And you will accept this little ncknawhiigmeut?" she said, trying to press a roll of bills Into Myra clenched band. ;"' "No," said Myra. "It's yours. I want nothing" , , , , "But I promised a liberal reward." "And 1 bud it-all the week. The watch was such good company." She did not mention the picture. And to all Miss Shepherd's argu ments and entreaties Myra reiterated "No." The picture held her firm. 8he could not take the money for that In the end she allowed herself to be persuaded to remain until the rain ceased and to drink a cup of tea. "Here's Tom. You must meet blml' exclaimed ber hostess proudly as the door swung open and there entered the original of the photograph. One look from Myra, and then ber lashes drooped In embarrassment The others discussed the watcb and Its re covery. At first Myra could scarcely follow what they said, but they were so kind, so full of Interest about her and her little experiences, that sfie soon found herself chatting freely and laughing at Tom's funny "sayings; still she rose in trepidation to find how late it bad become. Tom (she had uot discovered bis oth er name) insisted that as bis automo bile was at the door he would take her home. "Oh, nor gasped, Myra In distress, turning to ber hostess. "I'd rather take a car." "Don't you like motors?" questioned Miss Shepherd kindly. "I've I've never tried one." admit ted Myra. "Then that settles it" exclaimed Tom, and Myra found herself hurried to the door, with Miss Shepherd exact- inc a promise that she would come again. "Yes, do!" urged Tom as they went down the steps. "She really means It Isn't she jolly?" She's very kind. How happy she must be so pretty and sucb a beauti ful borne, and-and you" Myra bad not meant to say that at alL It just slipiied out. You bet She's the best sister that ever a fellow had." "Your sister?" stammered Myra, and somehow in her surprise she nearly missed the stop of the motor car, but Tom caught ber. Of course. What else did you think?" Mvra felt her face flush hotly. She trembled a little, but she did not say Just what she thought In fact, she did not tell bim until the following Christmas. Tom had presented Myra with wbat bad once been the desire of her heart, a gold watch. 'I can't take anything so hand some," sne baa saia, snaxing ner neaa aa I 1 earnestly. Tom only laughed. The case flew back, and there was the one face In all the world for Myra. Sweetheart, I claim a liberal re ward," said Tom. "Please take me too." . Wlr He stalled Law. "I am going to study law," be an nounced In decided tones. "And practice it?" "Ob, no." "Then why study ltr "Weil, I've always been told that a man never should sign a document that he does not thoroughly understand." "That, I believe, Is generally consid ered to be a sound business principle." "And I'm going to be a thorough go ing business man or know the reason why." "Well?" "Well, I've Just been looking over the lease of my bouse, and it occurs to me that if I study bard from now until the lease expires I'll have a glimmer ing Idea what It's all about wben I have to sign another. What the agent told me I was signing could bave been put In 100 words; wbat I actually sign ed amounted to about 2,000 words, bad ly tangled. I've either got to study law or violate a great business principle." Wealth's Changes. Wllby There goes that beautiful Mrs. Kofure with ber wealth of au burn balr. She wasn't always so rich, was she?
