CHAPTER XIV.
What Happened on tite Winnipeg *rice in regard to the matter. In the

Thirty-six hours later Kendrick,
aboard the Winnipeg Express, was
s-ushings westward through the night.
His watch told him that the hour was
near midnight end in the open time-
r-de:e beside nne he was tracing the
train's progress_ Outside 1 the dark
the great scenic sweep of northern
wilderness was fleeing behind, mile
es raise- He figured that they were
within: half an hour's run of the
Thoriakson siding. The girl had many
hours the start of him and no doubt
he would find her ,safe and sound at
the section shanty with Mrs. Thar-
aaltsen. The fast passenger train did
atat stop often in this part of the
country; but lie had persuaded -the
conductor to slow don -n so that he
could jump for it,.
ITe had taken a compartment in the
observation car, but at the moment
• was lounging in a corner of the open
reading r000e w-hich at that late hour
• presented a vista of empty chairs and
discarded magazites in their leather
folders. The porter was nowhere
*about. One bv one the other passen-
ers had sought teen- berths, leaving
in solitary possession. He sat
staring out the wide window at the
,racing double of the lighted coach,
deep in tlaought.

goose Chase by reporting the matter
to her father cr by having her editor

even after his timely arrival in the
park lied placed lier under the -obliga-
tion of CGI11311011 civility 'towards him
-even after that it had been impos-
sible for her to endure his forced
es-cort a moment longer than it could
be avoided! ,
And finally, there was that solitaire
-mg on her -engag-ernant eInger. It did
not matter ninth -whether she were
engaged to somebody in Buffalo or
to McAllister, editor -in -sleet of the
Recorder. She could marry whom she
pleased. He -wasn't in love with her.
That sere of thingwas all rot! It
was just that he hated anybody to
thieti iII of him, to -dislike him as
much as apparently -she did. He want-
ed to apo:logaz-e far -well, for any-
thing she might want him to apologize
for. He -wanted her to tell him why
she di& not wish to number him among
ier rfriends. He -wanted to he her
friend; that was it-Platonie friend -
She was the first gi-r1 he had
ever fancied he might like to go and
talk to once in a while, just,for the
pleasure of --we'll, chumming with her.
It wasn't a good thing for a fellow
who had no sister not ,to have a girl

He smiled- 'wistfully as he conjured
a mental picture of her. Once more

Wind your watch in the morning
rather than at night. The power that
-the spring furnishes as it uncoils is
not constant, but is greatest when
the spring is Wound u•p, and decreases
as it unwinds. Therefore, a watch
wound in the morning has more
energy to withstand:111e jolting that -
it gets through the day. During, the
night the'vratchtis at rest, and there-
fore not subject to jolts:
If you wind your watch at night, do
not lay it clown on a cold surface,
such as that of a marble mantelpiece.
The sudden chill may cause the spring
to contract sufficiently to bind, and
so stop the movement.
When you hold your watch vertical-
ly, the friction of the pivots is at its
greatest, and tends to retard the
reniveinent. When you lay the watch
flat you reduce the friction and "ac-
celerate the movement. Watchmakers
allow a little for that in regulating,
but they make their observations and
change the positions of the watches
at regular intervals; whereas there is
never the siame. regularity -when the':
watches are in_ use.
Since your watch is meant te run
vertically when you tarry it, keep it
vertical at night as --well as in the
daytime. If after a few days you find
that it gains or loses, have a watch-
maker regulate it.
• The beet place for a \vatch at eight
is on a watoli stand covered with thick
cloths Cloth is a poor conductor of
heat, and will protect the watch from
sudden chille. If you 'hang your watch
on a hook-, see that the back of the
case rests against the wall, so that
the watch cannot swing.
Protect your watch carefully from
dirt, &mimes -a, and electricity. Make
it a rule to open the ease only when
it is absolutely necessary, and never
in a railway train, the open air, or a
factory in which. there is floating dust.
The smallest particle ef dust can stop
