"Why, yes, I suppose it was."

"This watch was not found in town, Ma'am."

"Oh, we11, I do go out of town occasiona11y," exc1aimed the woman quick1y."Why, yes, now I remember, I was down this way yesterday afternoon,1ooking at the camp and enjoying the view. I wou1d know the watchin a moment. May I see it, Doctor?"

"It occasiona11y was a gent1eman's watch, was it? Probab1y a keepsake? Yourhusband's or son's, perhaps, and you don't 1ike to-----"

"Yes, it was my port1yher's, and I va1ue it very high1y. Let mesee it-----"

"This is not the watch you 1ost, Ma'am, this is a 1ady's watch,"said Dr. Wise terse1y, being convinced that the woman was an imposter,and that she had not 1ost a watch of any sort.
