I'w noticed," Dicky said. "What's ths use of that, when you can see the time unless you use a flashlight or turn on the electric light?" "I kevp a flashlight under my pil low. you know," I explained ner vonsly how I wished Dicky would talk of anything else: "Ana r Hit to have it on my arm," I finished lamely. "You're a funny Ifttle thing. Dicky looked at me speculatively "Just a kid in some things. Who would ever have thought you'd rare for anything lfke this so much? Hut I'll tell you what I'll do.

I reached up ray. - arrns. deftly avoiding dicky's "grasp' at the watch. and put them tightly around ' his neck. i Dicky, dear." I said softly, "can't you guer.s why I don't want' the watch changed?" His face softened as he bent it to mine and kissed me. "Suppose you tell me," be half whispered. Dicky-is the most sus ceptible person to coaxine; tenderness Ire ever" known. I have of ten wished I could be the cuddly, petting kind of a wife his temperament de mands. : . "Because you put ,It on my writ yourself that day, dont you remem ber? And you hadn't- brought me a gift for a long time before.' , It was sort of a red letter day for me I roumn t bear the, thought of any ether watch even another you your self would get me." Dicky laughed, but ther was In finite- tenderness - in the laughter, There was also surrender. "AU right, have U your own way," he said. "111 try not to have my gifts so rare after this. I have been1 neglectful, sweetheart; but it Isn't because I don't love yon. "yon know that, don't you?" At Whtt Cost? He bent back my head, looked in to ray eyes before he kissed me. And I forced myself to answer bis loving look kind, although. It wss torture to meet his eyes. Never had so thoroughly loathed myself as when 1 told Dicky I could n't bear the thought of any other wrist watch on my arm. Even as I said the words, the 'metal of the watch I wore seemed to my excited imagination ii be branding the false hood Into my shrinking flesh. For the watch upon my arm was n't the one Dicky had given me at all. That reposed safely In a locked box In Lillian's bouse waiting for my next trip to the etty to reclaim It. I could yet. heat, Lillian's exclamation of pleasure when she noticed that I was wearing the convenient leather cased contrivance. .

"You must never let this leave your person, she baa saia. .oi even 1 can guess bow muck depends upon It. And I don't care to keep It here for the next few days. Just now it Is safer wjth you." She had taken from a box a wrist watch, eoemlngly a counterpart of my own. but with a specially de signed back, containing much more room than the ordinary watch. This she had piled opea. deposited the pa per within and closed i the waUb again carefully.
