TRUTH STRONGER THAN FICTION. Wierd Jale of a Grandfather's Clock ' in Hertford. In a sitting room in a house in the quiet and blissful burg of Hertford there stands a grand fathers clock. For more than a century that creation of our fathers has ticked out the hours to the ears of some descendant of the original purchaser. Around and around its time stained face those ebony hands have travelled; to and fro iets ponderous pendulum has swung and its tick, tock, tick, tock has sounded unceasingly save upon the verge of some dire calam ity. Hereby hangs our tale. Many years ago a whirring sound was heard from the bowels of this ancient instrument; its pendulum ceased to swing and it stood as silent as a tomb. Jewel ers were summoned but none could see where repairs were needed; and yet they could not get it to work again.; The lord of the household was sick. For days he was tenderly nursed and medical aid tendered him but he passed into rest. As he breathed his last the old clock was heard to chime the hour. A deathly silence settled upon the sad scene. '- Those ghostly chimes carried with them some flavors of the ; supurnaturaL It's solemn, tick-tock, tick-tock again echoed through the halls and chambers: all agreed that it was a mystery. For years after its owner had been laid away the old clock con tinued working uninterruptedly. The widow married again and happiness once more reigned in the household. One night the strange whirring sound awoke the sleeping family and again the clock ceased to tick. Something ghastly, weird in the sound excited apprehension of some impending calamity. Its past actions were recalled and no one in the household slept that nigh t7 one month later the second husband was covered 'neath the sod and once more the hands of the grandfathers clock resumed their endless journey and the pendulum swung as of yore. . Last October this aged instru ment, for the third, time, repeated its direful, through mysterious, prophesy. The family breathed not a word to the outside world; but among themselves they wondered and with fear a week later it again chimed the hour but a minute previous a fearful ex plosion-had rent the air in that neighborhood and Fleetwood and Jackson's mammoth mill was' wrecked. The old grandfathers- clock is still ticking the hours; its hands are still travelling aromd and around; the- .. ponderous pendu lum still is swinging; but at what moment will it again -venture to foretell some other dire event im pending andwill its owners or a nation be concerned.
