Tho boy that wears a watch is an important character. At school he is envied, and in the street he is respect- ed. .Leone of the boys grab him and throw him down, for they might break his timekeeper. He has a way of twisting the chain when he talks, and of looking at his watch when he hears a train, and of saying twelve -ten, or six -five, or eight -sixteen. The other boys stand by and view him with admiration. He grows ttp, and prob- ably goes to college with a distinguish- ed air, but in after years he pawns his watch with a man who, as a boy, often stood by and admired it.
