A representative of tho Register oalled on Mr. Walker, who Bhowedliim over tho scene of the burglar's oporations, and said :— " Karly this morning my housekeeper called me, and a«kod if I had taken my watch down, ai= it was not in iv usual place. Tho window of my dressingroom was open, and on examination I dincovered that a gold watch, v.-orth seventy pnincas, had disappeared, also a Waterbury AVutoh whioh I keep to check tho other by. Four of my pins were also gone, Ao." Nothing oan show better the estimation in which the unpretentious but reliable Waterbury is held by men of means.
