How Watch Cases are Made.
It ia a fact not generally known tliat tiio

tain moro pure gold than many "boliil"
gold cases Tho demand for theso watih
cases has led to tho manufacture of a vciy
poor grado of Bolld gold watch cases
low in quality, nnd deficient in quantity.
These cascsaromado from 43 to 10 karats
and a 5 or 0 karat case is often hold for 12
or 11 karats. It is not economy to buy a
watch case so poor in quality that it ill
toon loso Its color, or one so soft that it will
lose its shape and fail to shut thjht, tlu.s
letting in dust and damnginj,' tho works, or
ono so thin that a slight blow will break

SELECT STORY.
THE TUEN OF AH ACCIDENT.
It wns six o'clock of n crisp October
liiroiiing, nnd Joiiii Hoyii, n lnvmcr,
rousing fiotn liis soniitl nijjlit'u Bleep,
iprang out of bed with tiio nlurt rend
iiess of it man who knows, tiro vnltio of
iu fiist liours of day. It was a tavern
bed from which ho jumped i homo nnd
h carca wero miles away ; nut a long
lo lay bcloro linn, nud no washed
and dressed briskly, as ono In liasto,
humming a cheerful nir, meanwhile, as
became a man who felt himself in
good spirits nnd had amplo lenRon for
beiiic so. For, bo it known, this year
had proved the best to farmers since
John had boon his own master. Har
vests had boon large, prices high, nnd
John, on his way back from the an
nual matkot, carried a sense of freedom
nnd liberation at his heart from the
final extinguishment of n mortgage on
his farm a mortgngo which had press
ed as heavily on his conscieiico as did
tho burden of a Clnistiau on his shoul
ders. Tho burden was lifted now, and
ftnther tli an that, John carried in his
fat, red wallet, S'-'OO over and above,
toward tho expenses of tho next year.
Uo had never been so "Dotorcliand'
before, and tho sensation was a joyful
one.
"My neck is out of tho collar now,".
ho muttered to himself as ho brushed
his thick, brown hair. "I should bo a
fool indeed if I put it in again. No
moro mortgages for mo 1"
Then, his toilet completed, ho ran
down stairs, two steps at a time.
Farmer-like, his first visit was to his
horses. They wero munching their
corn very satisfactorily, and after a
look or two aud a pat, John returned
to tho inn, where a jingling boll an
nounced a breakfast. It was smoking
on the table a substantial meal of tho
kind universal in taverns thirty years
ogo, and John Hoyd, whoso nppolito
was of tiio kind proverbially said to
accompany a cood conscience, was
iloinc it amplo iustice, when a sudden
instinct led him to thrust his hand into
tho. inner pocket, which held two hun
dred dollars. Tho wallet was gono.
In tho suddenness of the shock John
felt himself turn palo and then Hush
painfully as ho confusedly tried to re
member if ho had taken out tiio wallet
aud when. Under his pillow there it
was ! IIo recollected distinctly, or so
it seemed, putting it thcro for security's
sake when ho went to bed the night
before. With a muttered excuse ho
left tho tnblo and hurried up stairs.
The door of his room stood open, aud
tho maid servant was putting fresh
sheets on his bed, and tho soiled linen
was lying in a heap on the floor.
Toward tno heap John hurried and
began turning it over.
'Have you lost something, sir 7'
iskt'd tiio maid.
John straightened himself to answer.
IIo had not noticed tho maid before,
though sho had waited upon tho table
at supper. JNow he observed that she
was young and rather pretty fair,
with a trim, slender figure, beautiful
glossy hair, neatly dressed and braided,
and a pair of sweet, apprchensivo bluo
eyes. Her voice was soft, too, and
she had a shy, modest manner, which
suggested an idea ot relinement. All
these things Farmer Boyd observed in
a flash, and instinctively noting, weigh
ing, estimating by that wonderfully
rapid progress of wliioh tho human mind
is capable, while yet his thoughts wero
lull ot Ins money nud Ins loss.
"ie9,i am looking lor my wallet,
which f left under my pillow. Did
you find it ?''
i ho girl s laeo blanched to a deadly
whiteness and her eyes dilated as with
sudden terror.
"No, sir," sho said, her voice tremb
ling and sinking away as sho spoke.
"1 didn t seo any wallet.
John looked at her distrustlully ;
but thero was something in tho pale
face that disarmed suspicion.
"I d like to search the bed, lio said.
"It may havo slipped under tho mat
tress. Together they turned the mattress,
but no wallet was visible.
"That off horso of yours lias got his
shoo loose, somehow,'1 announced Mr.
Nash, tho landlord, suddenly appearing
at tho door. "I thought I'd better tell
you, so that you can stop at tho black
smith's as you pass and get him to put
in a cotiplo ol nails. Why, what's tho
matter !''
John explained.
Tho landlord looked very grave. IIo
whistled softly to himself a minute,
with his eyes fixed on tho tumbled bed
ding j then ho wont to tho head of tho
staii saud called his wife. Presently
they carao in together, nnd tho land
lady's fnco looked very red and trou
bled.
"Such a tiling never happened in my
house before," sho protested. "Hut
there's only ono person that lias been in
your room since you came, besido your
self, and sho's the person you must
reckon with," pointing to tho maid,
who, with white cheeks and downcast
oyei, leaned agaiint tno wall as it
awaiting Hcntenee.
"Oil, indeed, indeed, I didn't tako ill
I never saw any wallet," sho said ; but
her voico wiw drowned in Mrs Nash's
louder tones.
"And pray who olso took it, do you
suppose? Who elso had tho chancel

"I'd better go for tho constable,

"Oh, don't, please, don't 1" pleaded
tho girl, weeping bitterly.
"Givo tho gontleman his wallet baok,

"I can't. I haven't got it I Oh,

The landlady ouiy answered by an
expression of tlisgust. And, throwing
her apron over her ucad, tho poor gir
went iu silence, saying no moro.
John had hold his penco during this
nltorcation, sharply oyeiug tho persons

ho was nwarc. The maid wns a stran

was hardly less suspicious, ho could

to talk further about it to-morrow."
"I'm suro it's good of you to tnko so

"But whether or no, tho girl don't slay

"There'll bo nothing to suspect her

His reflections were not agreeable, as
hd retraced his footsteps over the dusty
highway, traveled but yesterday with
so light a heart. Tho loss of his mon-
ey meant a good deal to John Boyd,
'1 ho pressure of anxiety seemed to sot-
tlo again upon his shoulders, ns ho
thought over tho probabilities of its
nonrecovery. "But 1 won t givo in
without a "fight for it," ho thought,
grimly, as ho urged his horso for
ward.
Miles seem doubly long when meas
ured by a heavy heart, what with dust,
heat and tho continual eltect to clear
his mental confusion as to when and
whero ho had last seen tho wallet, tho
young farmer was fagged and dispirit
ed enough, before noon was fairly
come.
Ho stopped to dioo nt a little tavern

Keeper shook ins iteau.
"Bolton's your only choice," ho
said. "If it was on tho road you
dropped it there's no likelihood that
you 11 over hear of it again. The dust
is eight inches deep, I should say, and
there's been thrco big droves ot sheep
and one of bullocks along since yester
day, so if your wallet was lying thero
they have trampled it under pretty
thoroughly. It is bunod deep enough
you may bo sure, unless, which is just
as likely to happen, somo ono has pick'
ed it up and mado olt with it. l our
chance is a slim one, I reckon.''
Void comtort this : but John was
forced to agrco with his opinion. De
spondingly ho rodo through the after
noon, scanning tho way as ho wont,
for despito tho toll-keeper, a faint hope
still lingered in his heart, though tho

Ho had gained the top of a long hill
from which Bolton was dimly visible,
when a moving object f nr ahead caught
Ins eyes and he roso in his stiriups in
order to seo moro clearly. As ho did
so his horso made a false stop, stum
bled nnd threw him forward in tho sad
dlo so that his head grazed tho horso's
neck. ft was in this position that a
tiny object, a patch ot red, caught Ins
eye. His heart gave a little leap, then
he called himself a fool, but all the
same ho dismounted to examine.
Already a random hoof-stroko had
burned tho red patch from sight, but
Jonn recollected tho spot, and stooping,
dug and Bcooped till it again became
visible, llis fingers rccoguized a solid
substance. Trembliug with excite
ment, ho continued to dig : another
second and tho object was uncovered,

"And some folks sny thero ain't no

spoken half-aloud. Then for John'
Boyd s religion, though a homely, was
a true ono ho bi nt his head, and said
a few words of thanksgiving ; after
which, jumping on his horse, ho took
tho backward route, eager to toll his
good fortune, and oxoncrato tho Door
girl, who, as ho now remembered with
self-reproach, must havo passed a pain-
fill day under tho stigma of undeserved
Hiiipioiou.
Tho heat wns yielding to evenipg
breeze-, and ho urged his horse, Im
patient to set matters straight, but
with his best endeavor it was eleven
o clook before ho at last drew rein in
front of Nash s hotel. Ho was ex
pected i that was evident, for lights
wero burning and ISash and his wife
hurried out to meet him, wearing faces
oi itigiiborious length, winch only in
part changed to cheerfulness when
they heard of tho recovery of tho wnl
let.
"There, what did I tell vou 1" cried
tho husband. "Haven't I boon a say

Mrs. Nash waited on tho meal in

as sho sat tho last dish on tho table.
"I don t feel as if wo had got to hot

"Hut sho did,"

tho landlady, with lino scorn. "Hut

"But slio was innocent nil tho time

"I ain't so over suro about, that,"
replied Mrs. Nash, with a shako of her
head. "It's a queer business."
"Now, look here," shouted John,
rousod by this persistent injustice,
'what is there queer about it, I should

to beg, and you, too. So I hope,
madam, you'll drop tho subject and
just make it up to the poor thing by
being extra kind, as it were, for the

Mrs. Nam seemed by no means

Hurrying out to the barn the next
morning in tho best of spirits, a low,
sobbing sigh called his attention to a
bench outside tho kitchen door, whore
sat a fignro crumpled up into a forlorn
little heap, in which he recognized tho
pretty maid of tho day bofore. Sho
wore her bonnet, and a bundle lay bo-
sido her. Her face was hidden on hor
arms, which wcio crossed on tho back
i . ,
of tho bench.
"Why, what's tho matter 1" said
John, turning back.
Tho girl looked up with n stait. "I
bog your pardon," sho faltered : "I'm

"JNow, Lucy, it that s vour name, you
just sit still whero you are. Don't you

Mrs. Nash, I'll put things right."
To put things right seemed easily
enough to a strong, hearty man, with
iustico and argument on his side, but
that is becauso ho docs not calculate
properly on thoso queer hitches and
crochets of human nature, especially
woman nature, which havo no relation
to justico and fair dealing, and aro un

ot the interview was that John tlew
out of the kitchen with his face as red
as fire, tackled his horse, threw valise
and feed bags into tho wagon, mini
tho amount of his reckoning on tho

Every day somo young man is look

ended for tho making over process be

of which is liko this :
"Did you make thoso biscuits, Hel

"Yes, dear I thoy'ro not quilo right,
but I nm going to improvo on thorn.1'
"I supposed you know how to make

"Why, Chariiol didn't I want to

"Pshaw I novcr said such a word.

a school girl who is as different from
tho mother-stripe as he is from the
father-pattern. He is just capablo of
expecting her to mako sausage and soft
soap as mother' did. Eventually ho
makes her over into a nondescript that
is neither a companionable wilo nor a
comfortable housekeeper. And his
highest praiso is the omission of fault
finding. David Copporfield tried the making
