AN EIGHT-DAY CLOCK.
"It's nn uncommonly queer world 1"
raid Zedeldah. Ho leaned back
against tho brolton gatopost and
Htarcd hard at tho Hutting Bun. Tho
ragged looking cornfiolds stretched
dcsolntely away at his feot and word
an apologetic aspect, as though
ashamed to call attention to tho men'
gor array of coS-nstoeks and diminu
tivo yellow pumpkins which werd
thoir utmost effort in tho way of
crops. It was a poverty stricken in.
horitanco enough; land that had
"run out" from lack of enriching; a
bolt of onco glorious woodlands, now
sadly shrunk and spoiled by repeat
od foiling, nnd tho low, gray farnn
houso, unpuiutcd for many a long
year nnd showing tho ravages of
timo and weather to an alarming ox-t
tent despito all Zedokiah'a unflngi
ging efforts at patching and repairs.
Yes, it was a poor patrimony, and
yot Zodokiah loved ovory troo and
ovory stouo thero woro plenty ori
tho place, and his heart within him
swolled with sorrow nnd passionate
rogrot at tho thought that that torri-i
bio mortgago must bo foreclosed
noxt Monday, nnd Birch Brook farm
lost to tho uamo of Barnes forever.
It had boon a desperate Btrugglo to
koop thoir heads abovo water ovor
since thoir fathor's death two years
boforo. Farming carried on by a
dolicato widow and a boy of 15, how
ovor much energy and good will
they bring to hoar botweon thorn on
tho work In hand, can hardly bo ox
pected to afford brilliant results, and
tho wot soason Just passed had "fin
ished tho job," as Zedokiah himself
would havo said. Tho hay was
spoiled and tho wheat sprouted, and
wboro tho magnificent incouio of tho
owners just sufficed to buy tho 6alt
for tho stirabout which tlio ruined
com should havo supplied, that
mount ruin.
And so tho .mortgago waa to bo
foreclosed noxt Monday, and tho
Barneses woro to bo homeless.
"Zed I Zed I" It was a gontlo voico
that called, and Zedokiah, with a
shako of his shoulders, forced a
ghastly Binilo of assumed cheerful
uosa and turned to greet his mothor
ut tho ojmju door.
Slio had boon a pretty woman
onco, aud ovon now, faded nnd worn
though bIio was, thoro was a certain
grace aud gentleness about hor
which accounted for hor bon's devo
tion, ovon though tho littlo plain
tivo voico and mannor showed, ioor
woman, that life had been a pretty
html and bitter struggle
"Como in to your supper, Zed,"
alio called again as ho camo up tho
Hugged walk with un air of inteuso
juuutiueaa to hide tho fact that ho
was footsoro aud lamo where the
tliuta had bruised through tho worn
boots, Tho children aro that hungry
tliut I can't keep thorn quiet, and
they ought to havo Iteen in IkhI, poor
things."
Two yellow huhvd littlo girls ran
up as they eutoivd.
"Ah I Zed," crietl littlo Naunio,
"1 uiu't hud uo supper yot. Wasn't
you bud to stay away so longl"

"Chlldtvu, how you talk I One
would think you were beggar chil

Zed's fonvd biuilo fadtvl in u quick
look Of JKlill.
"They ought to g to mIiooI," ho
tald, then dievked himself at the
rvcolkH-'tion of tho inwt of school
book-J.
Ho was htaritiK hard at tho ivd

"I guesa I've got tiiat llaco,
mother," ho said. "I wont to tho
sloro Mr. Norton told mo of nnd
they've pretty well settled to take
mo on. Tho'Wngea don't seem faint
lous, to ho Bure, but thoyll bo some
thing, and then thero's tho prospect
of n rise."
"Oh, Zed I" Tlio darning fell into
Mrs. Barnes' lap, "You poor boy I
Yea, tho wages aro something anil
no mistake, but I can't bear to
think of you, your poor father's son,
just n common errand boy in a
grocery storol"
Zedekiah's sallow cheek flushed.
"I don't bco why I" ho said stoutly.
"Groceries aro honest enough, and
they're clean, too a great deal nicer
than a good many other things, 1
think. Besides, errand boys always
mako their fortunos right away.
Did you over hoar of a millionaire in
a book who didn't begin by sweep
ing out Ogitoro?"
"Ah, it your Undo Zedokiah had
only loft you all his money, as ho
promised 1" sighed tho widow, taking
up tho tattered sock again.
"Instead of only his name and the
old clock, eh, mother"
"Oh, yea! It waa too bad of uncle.
Ho ought to havo been ashamed
and after making us give you his
horrid name tool"
"Never mind, mother I It's an
honest name, oven though tho first
man that owned it wasn't much in
tho way of a king. He's been dead
so long that the name ought to have
grown respectable again by now."
"And then to leave you nothing
after all I"
"I don't believe, do you know, that
ho had anything to leave. Folks say
he was really very poor."
"Poor! Not he I" Mrs. Barnes
was roused to indignation. "I guess
ho wasn't I But ho was an awful
miser for years boforo ho died, and
he lived for all he world like a beg
gar 1 Wo fancied he'd havo left you
hundreds and thoro wus nothing I"
"Don't forgettho clock I"
"Tho clock!" scornfully. "Ah, by
tho way, that reminds mo; thero
was a peddler 'hero . this morning
not that it is much good for anybody
with anything to sell to como hero
he saw the old clock and seemed to
fancy it somehow. Ho said he'd
givo you a couple of dollars for it if
you liked, and 1 thought you'd bo
glad enough to let him have it."
Zed looked rather taken aback.
"Tho old clock t Why, no, mother.
I guess I wouldn't!"
"You wouldn't?" echoed his mother
in surprise, mingled with reproach.
"Tho children aro badly off for
boots, and 2 aro $3. Besides, it'll
havo to go next week with all the
other things, and maybo it won't
bring as much as that at tho sale."
This with a littlo sigh.
"Perhaps I Bhall not sell it," said
Zodekiah slowly.
'7.n1 vnn miiaf hn nmtnt I"
"No, I'm not." Ho had risen nnd
was wandoring about tho low coiled
room, his hands deep in his pockets.
"At least, 1 don't think I am. But
somohow it goes against mo to
part with Uncle Zed's legacy. Hasn't
it boon in tho family as long as
thero's any record, and didn't my
great-grandfathor, generations back,
bring it with him when ho camo to
Amoricai"
"So I'vo heard toll, Zed."
His wanderings becamo moro en
ergetic. ''Woll, then," ho said, "I don't bo
liovo wo ought to lot it go whilo wo
can stick to it It isn't ju$t becauso
it is tho only thing wo shall havo
loft whon wo leavo hero to lot tho
childrou know that wo camo of a
family that was well to do onco. If
thoy don't mako people respect thorn
for themselves, it isn't much uso hav
ing a tail of grandfathers behind
thom, but whon I think of tho poor
old great-grandfather bringing that
big clock across tho Boa to his homo
in tho new country, because ho
prized it mora than anything ho had,
and whon I think of all tlio genera
tions it has ticked for I cant find tho
heart to lot it go into strangers'
Hands. " Uo brought himself up short
before tho tall old clock in tlio corner.
"No, tho clock shan't go," ho said.
"Zed, you're tho queerest!" Baid
his mothor, with an unspeokablo
constcruatlou "Queerer oven than
your poor father, and I nover could
mako him out,"
But Zedokiah was contemplating
tho old timepiece, with its onco
stately carving of black oak and its
dial of polished brass, where, bo
ueath tlio "Giles Hen beat mo fecit,
Loudon, 1709," ran a half obliterated
logend and tho uamo "Jacob Barnes,
Exotor, 1731."
"l ueiiovo its worth over so much
moro than $3," ho 6aid, oxamiuiug
tho quaiut engraving with care,
"Anyway, it's not going for that,
nor for anything. I don't mean to
bay I wouldu't 6oll it to keep us
from starving, but woVo not thero
yet, and I hope wo shan't bo."
"Heaven forbid I" said tho widow.
"But I moan to sot that boforo mo
to work for. A home to put you
and the little girls aud the old clock
hi. Why, I'm certain the Harriww
would give It a corner in their kitch
en till I could claim it if it only
wet and kept good time, that is."
lie beat nearer to the dial. "What
u it it says?" He spelled out the
quaint letters t4owly. "Keepe me
true to tyie, ami I'll l true to
thee," "Why, mother," he turned
round Hukkmly, "wawi't it in Uaek
ZT. will that we should keep it i
Older Utdgoiiifl"
Mrs. Barnes thin face flushed n
littlo.
"Why, yes," Mio boM, "It did nay
bo, to bo sure, but It wouldn't go
when it first came, nltliounh your
father tried to mako it, and y-u
know thoro nover was tha money to
spend on wntcbmnkwH, oven if we
hadn't felt too badly over tho way
Undo Zed had deceived us. What
ever aro you nftor, my boy!"
"Only going to mo what 1 can do
to it," said Zedokiah, with calm rco
lution. "Itseems too bad, somehow,
not to havo a try. Poor old clock,
how could it be true to us when we
weren't trito to it? I'll fetch the
tools and havo it to pieces any now."
"You'll only mako bad worwjl"
Mrs. Barnes rose in home meek ex
asperation and went to the outer
kitchen. Thero weio plenty of small
"chores" to do for tomorrow, nnd
sho felt unreasonably vexed with
Zedekinh for his refusal to k II the
clock. Dearly as sho loved her only
Bon sho was growing dimly aware
that in strength of mind and will he
was leaving far behind the littlo red
haired urchin who used to lean on
"Mower" for everything, and then
ho was becoming as "queer" and fan
ciful as his father had been beforo
him.
Tho sound of gentlo hammering
camo from tho kitchen without, fol
lowed by tho rattlo of tho ponder
ous weights on their lumbering old
chains. Then Zed's voico sounded
eager and pleasant.
"Guess what's tlio matter, mother J
No wonder tho old gentleman
wouldn't tick! Tlio works aro all
stuffed up with paper. I can't make
them move. I shall havo to take off
tho dial boforo I can pull it out
What on earth could havo been the
object of feeding tho old thing with
crumpled paper?"
Mrs. Barnes made no response.
Sho had paused in her work of gath
ering chips and fragments of pine
branches to lay ready- for lighting
tho firo in the morning and stood
thero, half leaning against tho wide
and vacant chimney piece, her arms
folded in her calico apron and her
eyes fixed dreamily an space.
It had "como over her," as sho her
self would havo said, with tho ever
recurring shock it never failed to
bring with it. Sho thought of how
Beldom again should sho do these
dear and familiar household tasks
under the old brown roof that had
been so long her happy homo. Soon
etrango hands would bo bu&y in tho
low rooms sho had known nnd loved
so well, and unfamiliar stops would
6ound upon tho wooden floors whero
tho footfalls had echoed that were
liko tho sweote&t of music to her
listening ears. Next week it would
bo all gone the threshold sho had
crossed a radiant bride, the old cra
dlo whore sho had locked her babies
to sleop, tho very graveyard on tlio
littlo hill, whero rested those sho hud
loved most on earth. The slow tears
splashed upon her purple calico apron,
and her chest heaved with stifled
sobs.
Suddenly thero was a cry from tho
outer roem:
"Mother I Oh, mother I What is
this?"
It was Zed's voico, but bo altered
that sho hardly recognized it for his
own. Startled, stumbling, half blind
ed still with tho half shed tears, she
reached his sulo and stood bewil
dered, half terrified, half expecting
sho know not what, as ho held out to
her with trembling fingers a roll of
strange, stained, fluttering paper.
Thoro woro moro upon tho table
piles and piles moro within tho
works of tho old timepiece, closely
rolled and packed. Sho raised her
wouderiug oyes to Zedekiah's trans
formed faco nndbtared wonderstruck
at tho light in his sparkling eyes.
