SYNOPSIS
Audrey Swan, ndcke m'ed 'CY-
gie," is the only ehdldt of a highly
respected hawse trainer. His farm
adjoins the estate of Judge Cas-
tle. The Judge's only son; Jef-
frey, 'has been Audrey's - close
friend: since childhood. Now he
is home to work int his father's
law offlee in Parville. Audrey
meets Jeff's college friend Vic -
Quina; and Olive Cooper, Whom
Jeff met abroad. O'l'ive is thrown
from a 'horse and is reeolverintg

from a sprained ankleat the Cas-

moment.
'lane he 'preciouse?" Olive asked.
With a light 1au'gli., "He ueininds me
se of a little boy. Cygie . . ,?"
"Mesa?„ .
"Has Jeffrey told you about
us r"
Audrey Swanwas conscious of a
.eurri'ous sensation, It was !alm'ost as
if her heart had skipped a beat at
Olive's smile ugly ,d'emsure: ",Has Jef-
frey' 'tol'd you about . . . us?"
"I don't believe, se, You means
then . . . is it eontgratuiatd+c.ns?"
Olive nodded 'anad lowered bar
eyes. The admission came shylye
"Yes. We're engaged." With the
words, her 'hand came out and Aud-
rey clasped! et firmly.
"(3angratur•Latimes ! " she exclaimed
cordially. "I thank it's wonderful!".
"So do I," Olive admitted, with
drawing her hand somewhat hastily.
"I imagine Jeffrey's, bneaki'mg the
tidings to his parents mow."
"I'm sure they will be very 'happy
for shim."
"Hope so." Olive's \smiTe vanish-
ed. "Of course, darling, you under -
attend why, we are not making a
genei°al announcement. I haven't my
decree. At least, I don't think I
have.
Audrey .experi need another inner
shock. The exploration had been so
matter of fact. "I ase," she said
sir pie.
"Anal• -'are- you properly appalled,"
Olive supplemented good-naaturedty..
"It's only a matter- of form. My,
:heart 'has _ beeen free for a tang time
. . that is, until I met Jeffrey ov-
er in Europe." •
Audrey nodded: The smile on her
_ace felt frozen.
' "I think marriage will be very
gond for Jeffrey," his fiancee' went
on complacently. "He hes • lived a
lonely life, alter all. That's the
trouble of uo 'ontly' children, don't
you think? He reser has .had the

one in on the dark secret."
"And I shall be very" dissereet,
she smilers. '"I appreciate the honor.
Best of luck to you. both., I really
must be going."
Jeff're,y went 'down to her oar with
her. "I wanted you to know first
thing, Crygie!" ' the !exclaimed •boy-
ishhiy, once they were out of the
house. "Told Olive that you were.
one of the family and if she didn't
tell, you .today, I • would. I'm e' lucky
guy, don't 'you think?" He was wist-
fully anxious that she ,should agree
with, him.
. "Ard 'blow! Best of luck, Jeff.
Good-bye." .
Judge George.. Castle, retiring to
has Iibrary after lunch, hailed his
son. "A moment, Jeffrey, if you
•please.
"Want me, sir?"
"Yes. Sit down. I wish to talk
to you.. I believe as' .matters new
steed, you etxpect to marry Mrs.
Cooper before New Year's."
"Why, yes. "That's the arrange-
ment, providing . .
"I am quite aware' of the proviso.
Her father is Harvey- Harrison of.
the Harrison' Products Oorporattion.
From all a000unts, he is a very
wealthy mean. A nril.libnaire several
times over, I .shlould hnagine."
"It v6tou1dn't surprise me."
"I should judge . . . 'rather,- I
am- !convinced . . .hham y u would
have a low opinion, of a' man. who
was content tsa live upon hie wife's
barinty. Had you given the matter
any s'erilous .t'hou.ght, may 1 ask?"
"Why, no:".- Jeffrey- was- a little
taken abaek at the !direct question.
".Of ceurrete I had always thougbt
that ."
"That you would be associated
with me in a business! way. Sueh an
arrangement was-, in my mind when
I sent you to law school. You know
that has always been my hope and
intention'."
•
'Jeffrey for tete, first time, was
tempted to insinuate that his father's'
emcees " ha.d not been particularly
handicapped by the million -dollar
dower brought him by Louise
Langdo'w. He contented 'hi'm'self with
"That is the matter you wish- .Go dis-
cuss, sir?" .
"There is , nlothing• particular . to, dis-
cuss," tibe Judge retorted. In. view
of a icing- vacation and your tate,! i
"i wanted you to know first thing, Cygie," he exclaimed.
You?"
"No," Audrey. adtmittedsiewly..
"„,1 doubt if she is. But hie father's
people have been lawyers for "sev-
eral generations, I uaidlerstanad. • I im
a gined that he would follow his

"Well . . . ' s'he mused, "i't'sr'-been

ing Audrey's face through 'half clos-
ed eyes, "I was ,going to congratu-

Audrey P'ondered . this in silence
for a moment. "I gues's they'll Mud-
dle through," she decided „.carelessly.
"Which is a deft way of remind-
ing me that I should worry over
my own affairs,"-. Vic chuckled.
With' -•that, • he changed the subject
and talked lightly .61 other "m.atters.
"How I.'have been running qn!" lie
exclaimed in .dismay" when the clock

that, I am willing to guarantee you
a substantial inceme front the start.
Doesn't that appeal to you as a fair
proposition?"
- `Very."' The quiet agreelment had
its effect.
"Now see here, toy boy." The
Judge's beavy features relaxed in a
frosty smile. "I' meed/ you. In fact,
I need you particularly just now.

estly. "It isn't soften. I have a chance
to "sit at the feet of a • eau of the

Moth'er suggested that if _you were

When Victor strolled in 'at the ap-
pointed hour, Audrey thought. be look-

It was not until after dinner that

until Audrey remarked abruptly:
"How *old you .li•ke to $!o far a

"Very much of a .good idea, I'd

The watch .was the .hest of its kind,
as far as is knro'wa, .ta be soun in the
Swish Jura disttrriet.
The young locksmith not only suc-
ceeded in this novel task, but he was
so fascinated by 'the marvelous Me-
chanism of the tineeptiece that he de-
cided to fashicaConre far himself. His
workled shim: to be acclaimed as "the
founder sof the watch industry of
Neuehatels.
Start -of Business '
He first Lamenited and 'Made the
necessary tool; adds fashioned the
case, -a task which • took • nearly a
year. But once his tools were made,.
it took gaily Mx months more to com-
plete his watch.
His achievement became the talk
of the district. Soon orders began
to , pour` in. Realizing the immensme.
possdbiiit'ies cif his newly acquired
trade, Daniel Jean-R'ichand trained his
brothers and neigbbarss as assistants
in . his work's'hop. -
Today Swiss watchmaking covers
the whole 'of the Jura district from
Geneva to Snthaffhausen. The chalk
cliffs of the , Jura mountains! absorb.
rapidly all -traces of .humidity, thus
providing the olirmatic conditions
which are ef .the greatest importance
for the degree of Precision required
by the watchmaking industry. Tech-
nical schools, high schools and lab-
ora'taries present on the other hand,4
the indispensable natural s�cientifrc
basis. Iry order to determine fractions
of seconds, as,, is, today required of
good chronometers, .instruments and
pelts must be capable oaf registering
a thousandsth pant of a 'millimeter.
But° 'this skill has been ',developed
in Swi'tzez'1'awd over a .peeled of years.
For .the purpose of training watch-
makers and meohantics schrools were
established in Geneva in 1814; in' La
Oh'aux-de-Fonds in 1865; in St. Imier
in --18-65; in Le Lacol!e-iu 1868;- in
Bienine in 1873; ling •Porne'ntru in 1889;;
also, a little later on in Fleurier and
SOI eure.
'These,. Schools have been practical
and theoretical courses and also give
instruction ii the making of -watch-
making . tools. Five year is"a-com-
pleted course. During that time a
student makes about 'seven watches
of different types.,
Change in System ,
While a -few decades ago the ma-
jority'.. of - watehma'kers worked in
their own homes, tlhe, situation has
,undergone,, a complete. 'change in this
respect. Today !the nunn'erous separ-
ate parts -moist watches hope 'about
175 parts ---are. mannfactu'red in large
quantities -in special Workshops and
factories by means of highly per-
fected 'instruments ef precision.
