She explained that not long ago she saw Iron watches ad vertised lu u Broadway -window. She de termined to sell, her gold watch and give the profeed* to the Alliance and use a cheap iron watch instead. Then she told a iit.iO story about the Order of the Iron Cross.

There was an incident that Lire ihc* ap- pt-arancc* of. a practical Joke and served to cooljhc fervor for a time. When Mr.,Simp son arose to put an end to the «trangc scene, a big, broad-shouldered, middle aged man arose lu the audience and allowed an old fashioned gold watch hanging from a heavy gold chain,' Hi* voice shook with emotion as -he' explained the history of the watch.
