This clock had been running steadily for thirty-two years. It was now In a small boy's room. This boy was called Mr. Fuss and sometimes Mr. Growler. When little Ronald went to bed his mother said, "Sloop well tonight and rise early." "I always have to get up too early," he answered her. It was not long until ho was In dreamland. Everything seemed to bo discontented, even to th old clock on tho wall. "Tick, tick." it said, "my weights, hands, face, wheels and even the little cuckoo bird aro grown weary of running forever." "Don't com plain,',' added the door, "I'vo had to swing on my hinges for fifty years, but I am yet as strong as you." "Well." said the bed. "I do get tired of having to hold this tumbler, beyond my measure, but I won't give up yet." "And sonny, here, he gets tired, too, but he can't give up," put in a chair. He sits on me and ho Is heavy, but I don't cure." These speeches only made tho clock moro angry and It declared, "I am going 'to stop: the rest may nlso, for all I care." "Yes, you don't care, but If everything about this house would stop you would havo no roof over your old head," answered the bedroom folk In chorus. "I will strike my last at 12:3J o'clock tonight." growled the clock. Then, not caring to advise any more, Mr. "uss woke up early nnd looked at tho clock. "My. It Is 12:30 o'clock Ann- th sun Is not up yet." he exclaimed, putting on his clothes. When he went down to the kitchen It was Just 6 o'clock. He said, "Mamma. I dreamed that tho clock would stop at 12:30 o'clock, and It did." His mother hurried upstairs to see If It was true. "Sure enough," sho said, "It was a fine old clock." All that day and the next week nnd year for all-Ronald was never called Mr. Fuss. His mother never knew his dream was the cause of It. The Cup Custard Pudding. B,f ,tcr Andorson, Aged 10 Years.
