They are not. of course, dealing all the time with new chronometers; there are from 400 to 500 always In stock from ships arriving In this port from all parts of the world. As noon as a ship comes Into port Its chrououieter Is usually sent ashore for rating, that Is to say. It Is carefully ob served uutll the ship Is ready to sail, w heu the variation Is reported to the captain, who can then make his calcula tions accordingly. The chronometers of the transatlantic liners are sent ashore for rating every time they come Into port The greatest care Is taken • jf chronometers on board ship, and on all flrat-class ships there are usually three, one being for deck observation.

The smallest speck of rust on the balance spring might cause a chronometer to lose Its accuracy.

Ralph Underwood was coming that night to ask her to be bls wife, she felt sure, for his manner at the Fletchers' dance bad been unmistakable. YVhat answer should she give him? Could she ever love a man she did not •itogther trust? Ah, If only Jack could speak she knew what answer she would give If he ever asked the same question, bbut Jack never would, now, though years ago lie bad shown In a hundred little ways that he loved her. But that was before his father died, and Brlarstnere wns found to lie mort gaged and all the affairs terribly In volved. So now Jack was a poor man, and had even undertaken work as Un derwood's agent to pay off the mort gage. which Ralph held. Esme was rich, and could do as she liked with the fortune she had Inlier lted from her mother, but was power less to help Jack tiecause of that un written law that "a man is to woo, a woman to be wooed.” The rain poured down and at awoke Esme to a sense of what going on around her. The rain was coming down in rents, and an ominous roll of thunder in tlie distance made Beauty tremble. It was a lonely part of the road; only " little cabin, much out of repair, was In sight. She hastened toward It, not knowing If Mrs. O'Grady still occupied the place, or whether she had already gone to live with her sister in Kerry. On trying to lift the latch. Esme found It wns locked, but discovered a shelter In the peat shed at the back. As she stood there caressing her horse to allay Ita fears, she was star- fled to hear a key fitted into the lock of the door in front of the house. The boards of the mud-covered walls were ill-fitted and rotten, and Esme ould distinctly hear two men talking they entered and shook the water from their clothes. “A good thing we are here so near the place,” said Underwood. “Yes.” answered a voice which made Esme blush In the seml-darkness. “It 1» a liad storm, but It will soon t>e over. 1 am not sorry It has come now. as you will see that something must be done to the place before another tenant oc cupies It.
