tt ? ? ? tt ? A Tangle Of.... Love and Time tt tt tt tt tt tt WHEN Tyrrell came ont of the jeweler's chop, he carried a small package neatly tied with a red string. He jump? ed aboard an electric car bound up town and immediately found himself tipping his hat to Miss Marie Ol in? stead, the last person In the world whom he expected or would have wish? ed to see. Ordinarily he would have been mildly pleased to see Miss Olmstead. There .was a quiet, unemotional family ar? rangement that he should marry her some day, and he had never objected. Of late, however, he had begun to enjoy a little liberty, and one of the re? sults of it was in the package that he I A- -* CS> THE WRETCHED THING TXCEED. -had brought from the jeweler's. He slipped it hastily into a pocket of his overcoat when he saw Miss Olmstead. There was a seat beside her, and of course Tyrrell took it Unfortunately it brought the pocket containing the 'package between them. Its size was not great enough to cause any incon? venience, but the wretched thing ticked with a peculiar purring sound. It was, .in fact, a clock wnica Tyrrell had pre? sented to Miss Florence Coffin, daugh? ter of Laurence Coffin, the theatrical znanager, and herself a performer upon .the harp-altogether a young woman quite impossible as an associate for Olmsteads and Tyrrells. It appears that Miss Coffin was ac? customed to jest about the sepulchral suggestiveness of her name, and as a result of it her friends delighted to give her presents of a grewscme appear? ance. In that spirit Tyrrell had given her the clock, which was made of pa? pier mache and shaped and colored like a human skull, with a glass covered dial in the top of its little cranium. Florence was different from the girls -of the Olmstead-Tyrrell caste. She took presents-when she liked the donors and was mighty glad to get them. She had acquired a unique and interesting collection of jeweled skulls and cross? bones, of glove boxes shaped like cof? fins and toilet articles in the form of urns and tombstones. An indiscreet young woman connect- ' ed with the press had recently "written tro" this collection, and she had de - scribed with great minuteness the clock presented by Tyrrell, recklessly giving his name to cold type In connection with it. Miss Olmstead knew all about this affair. Having read the article in the paper, she must even be aware that the clock purred when it ticked. That peculiarity had been distinctly men? tioned, and. blessed martyrs, how it purred as it lay in Tyrrell's pocket, so near to Marie Olmstead I On the occasion of the terrible expose which has been mentioned Mrs. Tyrrell had extorted a promise from her son that he would break off his acquaint? ance with the beautiful harpist. As for Miss Olmstead, she could not deign to be jealous of a person living in a differ? ent sphere, but she had shown a cold disapproval that had been exceedingly painfuL The idea of marrying Marie Olmstead had grown into Tyrrell's nature so slowly and steadily that he already suf? fered many of the inconveniences of ac? tual matrimony. His consciente said bard things to him when he had called ""npon-Florence. and I regret to say that he did call upon her even after his promise to his mother. He called, and thus he learned that the skull shaped clock needed repairs. So he took it to the jeweler's, and when lt was fixed he called for it, and, worst of all, he paid the bill. "I was looking out of the window," said Marie, "and I thought 1 saw you ?come out of Heinrich's store." Heinrich was the jeweler. It was he that had sold the clock to Tyrrell, and Shat fact had been mentioned in the newspaper article. It would not do to admit that he had been there. It is said that one may learn to swim by falling overboard, and it may be the same with lying. Tyrrell was in deep water, and he lied. "Indeed, you must be mistaken," said he. "I had just come across from Broadway." She made no rejoinder. The car had stopped; nobody seemed to be talking; a most remarkable silence filled the car, and in the midst of it the clock purred amiably. Tyrrell knew that he must say something to drown this aound, but his mind played him the trick that is customary in such circum rStances. He could think of nothing that tt tt tt tt tt tt tt ft ft t* ft ff ff ?????????????? By... Howard Fielding \ Copyright, 1900, by Charles W. Hooke. OO was not groresqueiy suggestive or tue very subject which he desired to avoid. "I was detained down town longer than I expected." he said in despera? tion. "It must be nearly 4 o'clock, and I promised to be home at that time." He pulled out his watch. It lacked two minutes of the hour. Tyrrell turn? ed cold, for he suddenly remembered that the little skull clock had a striking apparatus. It must be just right, for the jeweler had set it Therefore, iu precisely two minutes.he would be un? masked. Surely if the clock should strike in his pocket there would be no further use for prevarication. He cursed himself for saying that he was going home. Otherwise he might have made some excuse for leaving the car. It was a perfect certainty that Marie would not get out What was to be done? He thrust his hand into his pocket with a mad purpose of throttling the clock. He would twist the winding key until the mainspring broke. That would stop everything. He gave the key a few turns and then discovered, to his horror, that he was winding the alarm. In his proper senses he would have known that that key was too smalL Why had he not taken hold of the knob that set the hands? He might have turned them back half a hour and thus averted the striking. Now he dared not do it, for he had no means of knowing where the alarm was set. To turn the hands might set the noisy little gong a-ringing. Tyrrell's face was burning despite the cold drops that gathered liberally on his brow. He glanced again at his watch. Only a few seconds remained. At that moment the motorman rang his gong with unusual ferocity. Every? body looked to the front to see what was the trouble, and while Marie's eyes were thus turned away Tyrrell hastily shifted the clock from the right to the left side pocket In doing so he very nearly put lt into the pocket of a man sitting next to him, and the incident gave him an idea. In an instant he had acted upon it The clock reposed In the stranger's pocket "I'll make sigrns to him in some way.' thought Tyrrell. But the moment was unfavorable. The stranger had half risen from his seat and was looking to? ward the front of the car over Tyrrell's head. Just then the clock struck. It had a very delicate bell; intervals of several seconds separated the strokes. Marie turned at the sound of the first "Edward," said she coldly, "what is that?" Her last word, the second stroke of the clock's bell and a violent collision between the electric car and a big ex? press wagon were all coincident Tyr? rell was thrown against his fair com? panion with considerable violence, and there was wild confusion in the car. Even Tyrrell lost his interest in the clock for a moment, and the man into whose pocket it had been put failed to notice its presence. All the passengers got upon their feet as for flight but it was soon evident that there was no danger, and they sat HE STAETED ZN PUES CIT OF THE CAE. down again-as many as could lind space. Tyrrell remained standing in front of Marie. "Edward," she said, looking up at him, "just before this little accident I fancied that I heard the striking of a clock. Isn't it odd?" "Very oddt" he replied, with an eye upon the man sitting beside her, who was motioning to the conductor as if he intended to get out at the next corner. "And before that," she continued. "1 seemed to hear it ticking." She glanced at the pocket which had held the clock. Tyrrell slapped his hand upon it, and then upon the other, and the girl looked just a bit puzzled. "It must have been my watch," sa;<! he. "It ticks very loudly." "But it doesn't pur," she rejoined im? pressively. "No." he answered with a calmness that surprised himself, "it hasn't any habits of that kind so far as I know." At this moment the man beside her suddenly rose and hurried to the rear door. "He knows all about lt. and he's go? ing to steal that clock." said Tyrrell lu the privacy of his own mind. "No; I don't think he ls; not this afternoon." And then aloud: "Marie. I-I beg jour pardon. You must excuse me. That's my old friend Charley Jones getting off the ear. I really must speak to "him. I can't let bim get away, for lt's really quite im? portant. You'll excuse me, won't you?" He did not wait for her reply. Ten seconds later he had his hand upon the arm of the man who had preceded him out of the car. "Would you mind giving me my clock?" said he. "Giving you your what?" exclaimed the stranger. "The clock that I put into your over? coat pocket?" said Tyrrell. "You were sitting beside me just before the colli? sion" "No, I wasn't sitting beside you just before anything," said the man sharp? ly. "I was way down in the corner." Tyrrell*glared at him for a "moment and then uttered an awful groan. "By the jumping gingerbread, it's true."' he gasped. "My man changed his seat He's on the car, and it's half a mile away. This is the end of me!" Without waiting to r explain to the stranger he started in frantic and fool? ish pursuit of the car, but a block or two of this mad chase convinced him of its futility. "There's only one way out of it," he said to himself. "Heinrich must get me another clock just like it" He made the best of his way to the jeweler's, and there he told his story. The jeweler was not sanguine, but he accepted a retaining fee of $20 and promised to do his best Tyrrell went to see Florence. The dear girl was prettier and brighter than ever. Somehow she always looked more attractive just after he had seen Marie. It was the difference between a live person and a picture; between nature and art If only he were not a little afraid of her! Singularly enough, lying to her hurt worse than lying to Marie, though in a different way. One wasn't right, and SHE LAUGHED TILL THE TEAKS RA>\ the other he really didn't like-couldn't countenance in his own heart. Yet he managed to tell her that the clock wasn't ready yet and that he'd call for lt some other day. "I miss It so much!" she said, lik? a grieved child. And he had a sudden im? pulse to seize her in his arms and kiss her. He resisted this temptation and at last managed to tear himself away. In the outer hall he met a messenger boy with a package and note. The package looked strangely familiar. Moreover, it was purring! "Is that for Miss Coffin?" he demand? ed. "Yes." said the boy. And he exhibit? ed the note, which was addressed in Marie's hand. Tyrrell did more thinking In a min? ute than he had done before in two years. "Here's a dollar," said he to the boy. "Walk around the block six times and then deliver what you have. And keep mum." The boy grinned. Tyrrell ran up the stairs and sounded the bell of the Cof? fin apartments. "Florence," said he when he was again in her presence. *Tre come back to tell you the truth and to swear that I will never tell you another falsehood as long as I live. I couldn't go away from you and leave a lie behind, for I love you, little giri, that's all there is to it and" "If that's true. Ned," said she, "I'll forgive all the lies in the world." Then he took the kiss that he had wanted before and a few others, after which, he related precisely what had happened in the car. She laughed till the tears ran down h*r cheeks, and while she was thus pleasantly engaged the messenger boy arrived with the clock and this note from Marie Olm? stead: "Miss Olmstead begs to return to Miss Coffin this clock, which came into her hands in a manner that-Mr. Ed? ward Tyrrell will be able to explain. Miss Olmstead desires to say only that the niarri went off in the pocket of a gentleman who was riding in the same car as herself. He was naturally some? what surprised, but he rightly inferred that the clock had been put into his pocket by a person whom he had seen in conversation with Miss Olmstead. Supposing that this had been the result of an accident, the gentleman appealed to Miss Olmstead. who agreed to see that the property was returned. Will Miss Collin kindly inform Mr. Tyrrell of the facts, as Miss Olmstead will not see him again?" "That sounds as if it had been writ? ten by a typewriting machine without human assistance." said Florence. "Poor girl! I'm sorry for her." "I feel confoundedly mean," said Tyr- j rell, "and, oh. so happy!" Cfcambsrlain's Cough Semedy a Groat Favorito.
