WHEN THE CLOCK STOPPED Our big grandfal her'.s clock had been in ihe family for year's. Wo were all very proud of the fact that it kepi such good time. We took great care that it should never run dow IL When we moved out of the homestead, we look tho clock along. One day we were sitting at din ner when all of a sudden I had a queer sensation of something being wrong. "The clock has stopped!" rather exclaimed. Then he frowned at me, "Jimmy, I told you it would be your job to keen I ha t clock

"I'll go and wind it myself, while I think about it. Maybe you didn't wind it tight enough last time." He got up from (he table and went, into the living room. He had not been gon a minute when a shot rang out.. Mother and I jumped up and ran into tho living room. There stood father, his rifle in his hand, looking very' pale. Something was -writhing in the. doorway. The baby was silting on the floor at father's foot, whimpering a little. "A rattlesnake," said father briefly.
