He is, however, just such a personage as the mind's eye sees walking on the terrace of the Peyrou of an October afternoon in the early years of the century; a plump figure in a chocolate-coloured coat and a culotte that exhibits a good leg a culotte provided with a watch-fob from which a heavy seal is suspended.

Then came a cue of music like an avalanche, and quicker than Harlequin's wink the aisle was clean. "Gad!" said Mr. Loeb, his strong profile thrust forward and a light on it. "That little one with the black curls? Say! You can put her on your watch-fob and take her home." "Wouldn't mind!" said Mr. Loeb. "You and Moe Marx are like all the women-haters.

Warwick Hall had widened Ethelinda's horizon, until she was able to take an interest in many things now outside of her own narrow self-centred circle. As they started to undress she managed to ask, "Well, have you sent for that watch-fob yet?" Mary shook her head, trying hard to swallow a sob, as she bent over an open bureau drawer. "I've decided not to order it."

I could attend to the correspondence, too, for my head and hands are all right. I know I am as helpless as a baby yet, but if you'll just stand by me, and keep up that treatment, and help me get my strength back, I'll make good, some way or another, just as well as Aldebaran did. By the bloodstone on my watch-fob!" he added, laughingly. "How is that for a fine swear?"

Just look what a beauty bright of a watch-fob I've found in this catalogue." She turned the pages eagerly. "It is a bloodstone. The very thing for Jack, for his birthday is in March, too, and it is such a dark, unpretentious stone that he would like it. But it costs eight dollars." She said it in an awed tone as if she were naming a small fortune.

Meyer Vetsburg cast a beetling glance down upon Miss Kaufman, there so small beside him, and tinked peremptorily against her plate three times with his fork. "Eat, young lady, like your mama wants you should, or, by golly! I'll string you up for my watch-fob not, Mrs. Kaufman?" A smile lay under Mr. Vetsburg's gray-and-black mustache.

I know you don't halfway listen to what I read any more, and I don't blame you, but this seems to have been written just on purpose for you." He took the book from her listlessly, and opened it because she wished it. Watching him from the doorway, she waited until she saw him glance up from the opening paragraph to the watch-fob lying on the stand at his elbow.

"But I've found out now how delightful it is to do things for people you love with money you've earned yourself. Now Jack's watch-fob, for instance. He was immensely pleased with it. I know, not only from what he wrote himself, but from what mamma said. Yet his pleasure in getting it was not a circumstance to mine in giving it.

Jack would have ground his teeth with mortification had he known that every girl in school was interested in his getting a bloodstone watch-fob in his Christmas stocking, and daily discussed the means by which it was being procured.

Nobody saw her face grow red, however, for Lloyd's exclamation over the last token made every one crowd around her to see. It was a small heart-shaped charm of crystal, probably intended for a watch-fob. There was a four-leaf clover, somehow mysteriously imbedded in the centre. "That ought to be doubly lucky," said Eugenia.
