Simpson was walking on the street
quo afternoon in a portion of the city
devoted to residences. The sidewalks
were broad-and laid between grass
plots. In the grass on one side he Baw
something sparkle. .Going to It he took
op a gold hunttng watch. The first
thing that Simpson did was to press
the spring to open the lid over the face.
He caught his breath. Inside the lid
was a photograph ot the face of a
young girl and so pretty that Slmpaon
would have given his head for one kiss
of the original. The watch was of good
aize and evidently belonged to a man.
A pang shot through the finder as It
occurred to him that the girl was the
betrothed of the owner of the watch.
On the outside of the case. In a
smooth space within the chasing, were
the initials "H. F. L." "That's the guy
that owns the watch and the girl, too,
I suppose." muttered Simpson to him
self. "I can find out who ho Is through
the directory or possibly the telephone
book. I don't mind returnlug the
watch, but I'd like to keep the pic
ture."
He went to the nearest drug store,
where he took down the telephone book,
turned to "-L" and began to run his eyes
down the names, keeping them open
for the three letters on the watch. It
was a long hunt, for there were more
than a thousand -surnames beginning
»with "L." and in this case the second
letter lu the surname was at the lower
end of the alphabet It was "a" The
uame with the letters "H. F." before it
was Lorlng. Henry F. Lorlng corre
sponded with the letters on the watch,
and it was probable that this Lorlng
was the owner., His residence was on
an eminently respectable street and
very likely he was one of the upper
tea thousand.
I Ciwy.-'ua »» UJ UJ «*vr UM.
Che watch because the picture weut
with It, and the oftener he looked at It
the more he was infatuated with It.
But conscience, combined with a desire
to find the original, compelled him to
look for an advertisement of the lost
property, and at last one met his eye.
A reward was offered If the watch was
delivered at the office of the newspaper
containing the ad.
Simpson was not to be put off in this
way. -He walked past Mr. Loring's
residence and asked a cop on the beat
who lived there uud what persons con
stituted the .family. He was pleased
to learn that Mr. Lorlng was Its head.
This was all he elicited or needed. Mr
Lorlng was doubtless the father of the
girl whose picture had enthralled
Simpson Instead of being her lover.
> What luck!
Simpson went borne, took down his
telephone book and learned the Lorlng
1 number. Theu he culled for it
"is Miss Lorlpg at home?" he asked.
"Hold the wire."
In a few moments * feminine voice
asked whut was war ted.
"1 have found a watch with the
j initials 'H. F. L.' on the case. Has
i any one of your family lost a watch ?"
| "Isn't that lovely! Mamma, papa's
I watch has been found!" Then again
j In the transmitter. "There's a reward
offered"—
I "Never mind that. 1 wish first to es
* tabllsh the fact that the property be
longs to your family. Can you identify
It In any way?"
"Yes; there Is a photograph Inside
the case."
"Oh. no. not that: only a gtri!"
"Then It can't be the watch you sup
pose It t9 be. The photograph Is sure
ly ib.it of au aivpel. Sorry. I suppose
I must look further for the owner."
There was no reply to this. So Simp
son began again:
j "I might take the watch to youi
| hoese. and If the photograph appears
lo be a likeness of one of your family
that would prove property."
I Quite, likely by this time the girl bad
got on to Simpson's facetious manner
of returning the watch and proposed
to play him at his own game.
"If the photograph la that of an an
gel there ls no use of bringing it here
There's no angei In this house."
Simpson was a gentleman and re
membered that such a dialogue forced
unnecessarily on a young lady by u
stranger—indeed, one she could not
even see—was Impertinent He must
be cautious or he would get hlmseli
shut off.
"Are your father's Initials 'EL F
TUT" he asked.
"They are."
"Then the watch must belong to
him. It la cot for me to suggest the
manner of its return. 1 am George
Simpson, Athenaeum club. Unless 1
hear from some one of your family
soon 1 shall send it by messenger to
your house."
"I'll tell papa. Thank you very
much."
"Goodby."
"Good by."
Simpson flattered himself that he had
made a very good bid for an introduc
tion He could scarcely be accused of
transcending the .proper limits. He
was not suj>pwe4.te know that the per
son at the phone »aa the original of
the photograph. He bad got -in a fine
compliment without offense, i He had
i given his addres* and could only await
i the issue.
The next morning he receded a not#
that Mr. Lorlng would call upon him
that evening ut his club. When the
gentleman called Simpson banded him
the watch. Of course the ownor made
no mention of a reward, lie acknowl
edged the obligation und asked If there
were not some wuy of making a re
turn.
"Tbere te only one way," suid Simp
son. "of doing that, but It would not be
permissible for me to mention it, at
least not now."
"Were the watch an ordinary one."
replied the other, "I should consider
that thanks expressed for its return
| would be suitlclent. But it Is a very
valuable one. 1 have hud it tested in
an astronomical observatory and those
In charge pronounced It equal for ac
curate timekeeping to their best chro
nometers. But this is unimportant be
side the fact that it was given me by
my lute wife. I trust that you will
think over the matter and And some
method of enabling me to show my ap
| preclatlon for it* return."
i "How did It come Into the position
j to which I found it?"
"I cannot tell you. The watch was
stolen some time ago. Possibly the
one having it, fearing arrest, purposely
dropped It that he should not be in
criminated by its being found on his
person."
"I appreciate your feeling In the mat
ter, Mr. LorJng. I will endeavor to
think up some way by which you may
get your desire."
When Mr. Lorlng went home that
evening there was much eagerness to
hear all about the recovery of his treas
ured keepsake. Had Simpson opened
the other side of the case he would
have seen a photograph of an elderly
lady, the douor of the watch, and
would have noticed a resemblance be
tween It and the face on the other side
What especially pleased tlmse Inter
ested was that this photograph was re
J turned unblemished, for it was the only
one of its kind in existence.
"Whut kind of a looking man was
he, papa?" asked Miss I.orlng.
"A very gentlemanly appearing young
fellow."
"Did yon offer to pay him the re
I n-Qfrir*
"Of course not To offer a gentle
man a reward for the return of lost
property would bare beeu an Insult.
I explained to him why I prized the
watch and asked him to name some
way that would be agreeable to him
whereby I might show my apprecla
tlon of his return of the property."
"What did be say to that?"
"He said that there was only onp
way of doing it. but It would not be
permissible for him to mention it, at
least not at present"
Miss Lorlng turned away to hide a
faint blush. Her father continued:
"I begged him to think over the
matter and endeavored to And some
method of my acknowledging the ob
ligation."
"Did he say he would?"
"Yes."
"I think, papa, that you can scarcely
expect that of him, or at least that
he should name any favor acceptable
to him. It seems to me that It is out
part to find a way to favor blm."
"Well. Puss, wbat do you suggest?"
'•Why, since he Is a gentleman quite
likely he knows some oue that we
know In that way you might form
his acquaintance In a more conven
tional way than by his returning the
watch, and then, yon know, it would
be in order for you to Invite him to
dinner."
"1 can invite him to dinner without
hunting up a mutual friend. It strikes
me that returning a man a valued
keepsake in the shape of a $j00 watch
Is more of a voucher than a conven
tional Introduction."
There was no respouse to this, at
least none that was visible to the fa
ther, for Miss Loring's face was turn
ed away. Nevertheless her eye lighted
with satisfaction.
"An lllTliaWUIl IU Uiuiiii. one wu
tinued. "Is not In Itself an expression
of your appreciation of what the gen
tleman has done, but It will give you
an opportunity to discover how to con
vey a favor."
"I see." said the father, and. seating
himself before a desk, he wrote the in
vitation.
Now. if the young lady had said. "II
will give me an opportunity to discov
er how to convey a favor." she would
have spoken the truth. And if she bac
said. "lie wauls the picture you carr.v
in the lid of your watch; his coming
to dinner will enable me to find a waj
of giving blm a duplicate." she would
have told the whole truth.
When Simpson opened the Invltatlor
he looked as if he had been plunged Ix
a basin of Joy.
"You bet," he said to himself, "thai
George Simpson. Esq.. has managed
this affair Just about right! George
you have good reason to be proud ol
yourself."
Oh. the conceit of man! Simpson
had managed the affair well enough sc
far as he was in a |>osltion to manage
it. but had not his action been supple
meuted by the all important sugges
tion of Miss Loriug he might have
whistled to the wind for the desiretl
acquaintance.
The dinner came off. and after it was
over naturally enough Simpson ami
Miss Loriug were left together, while
the father read the evening paper in
his smoking room' And George foun<i
no difficulty whatever in telling whal
kind of a cewnrd for the return of the
watch would be acceptable to him
After a good deal of backing and All
ing on the part of the young lady he
went away with a duplicate of the pic
ture in the case of her father's watch
From this point the narrative Is like
all other love stories. -Simpson now
carries the photograph of his wife In
one side of bis watch and one of his
daughter in the other They look Uke
twins.
