Modern Mary plans her garden for use
as wellies for beauty.
Daiie in the spying she -raises
tender. vegetables in a hotbed; and
later, her mornings are spent in a
thriving vegetable and flower garden,
for she Jaime that the liberal use of
green vegetables in the summer diet
means health and strength and that
the family grocery bill is much small-
er If dozens of quarts of garden pro -
duets ar•e.canned ready for winter use.
Mary's flower garden delights not only
the eye of the passerby but also
brightens her own home and makes
possible the carry'ng of eheery flower-
mee.apes ieto less fortunate homes.

Suceeesful gardening demands pa-
tience and care but the pleasure and
the satisfaction gained from a thriv-

planning and caring for it. Bovee has

dishes, and the same number of serve

the casserole -directly from the range

prepared and cooked to just the right
shade of brown the dish adds a touch
of beauty to any table.
A favorite dish in one household is
called "Steak a 1'a Mother,” in honor
of the proud discoverer. It consists of
round steak cut in pieces convenient

PART III.
"Right," replied Bampton, "I will."
He half closed his eyes reflectively,
"I was having tea in the Lyons Cafe,
to which I always go, last Monday
afternoon about 4 o'clock, when a man
sat down fae.ng me and got into con-
versation."
"Describe hini."
"He was a man rather above me-
dium height. I should say about my
own build; dark, going gray. He had
a neat mustache and a short beard,
and the look of a man who had travel-
ed a lot. His skin was very tanned
almost as deeply as yours, Mr. Harley.
Not at all the sort of chap that goes
in there a$ a rule. After a while he
made an extraordinary proposal. At
first I thought he was joking, then
when I grasped the idea that he was
serious I concluded he was mad. He
asked me how much a year I earned,
and I told him Peters & Peters paid
inc 1160 a year. He said, 'I'll give you
a��ear's salary to knock a man's hat
As Bampton spoke the words he
glanced at us with twinkling eyes, but
although for My own part I was mere-
ly amused. Harley's expression had
grown very stern. "Of course I laugh-
ed," continued Hampton, "but when
the roan drew out a fat wallet and
counted ten five -pound notes on the
t,itele I began. to thin], seriously about
las proposal. Even supposing he was
e rte les it wee a:,so:utely money for
r ,`ltd,
'Of c F;;ir"o. he sad, 'you'll Ione
year jab ere! yep May he arrested, but
y'.iil! to-, teat you had been out with
a few friceele and were a little excited,
elan that you never could stand white
hats. Stink to that story and the
lta'.nert of eine will reach you on the
following morning.'
"I asked him for further particulars
and I asked him why be had picked on
me for the jt -b. He replier' that he
had been looking. for some time for the
right mar. --a roan who was strong
enough physically to accomplish the
thing, and some one"-•-Bampton's eyes
twinkled again -"with a bit of dash in
hien, but at the same time a man who
could 'bo relied upon to stick to his
guns and not to give the game away.
"You asked ere to be brief and I'll
try to be. The man in the white hat
was described to me and the exact
time and place of meeting. I just had
to grab his white hat. smash it and
face the music. I agreed, I don't deny
that I had a couple of stiff drinks be-
fore I set out, but the memory of that
160 locked up here in my room, and
the further hundred promised, bucked
me up. It was impossible to mistake
my man; I could see him coming to-
ward me as I waited just outside a
sort of little restaurant called the
Cafe Dame. As arranged, I humped
into him, grabbed' his hat and jump-
ed on it,"
Ile pawed, raising his hand to his
head reminiscently.
"My man was a bit of a arrappper,"
he continued, "I've never heard such
language in my life and the way he
laid about me with lis cane +�
thing I ni not 11r�r'- s so]t12-
hvrry, A ath to forget in a
.. crewel gathered, naturally,
..on 2 was pinched. That didn't mat-
1termuch. I got oft lightly; ance al-
though I've been dismissed by Petars
& Teeters, twenty crisp fivers are look-
ed in niy trunk there, with the ten
which I received in the city."
Harley checked him. "May I see
the envelope in which this money ar-
rived?" he asked.
Sorry," replied Bampton, "but I
burned it. I thought it was playing
the game to do so. It wouldn't have
helped you much, though," he added;
"it was an ordinary common envelope,
posted in the city, address typewritten
and not a line inclosed."
"Registered?"
"No „
Bampton stood looking at us with a
curious expression on his face,
"There's one point," he said„ "on
which my conscience isn't easy. You
know about that poor devil who fell
out of a window? Well, it would never
lave happened if I hadn't kicked up a
row in the street, There's no doubt he
1
was leaning out to see what the dis-
turbance was about when the accident
occurred."
"Did. you actually see him fall.?"
asked Harley.
"No, He fell from a window sev-
eral yards behind me in the side
street, but I heard him cry out, and
as I was lugged off by the police I
heard the bell of the ambulance which
came to fetch him."
He paused again and stood rubbing
his head ruefully.
"Him," said Harley; "was there any-
thing particularly remarkable about
this man in the Lyons Cafe?"
Hampton reflected silently for some
moments. "Nothing much," he con-
fessed. "lie was evidently a gentle-
man, wore a blue topcoat, a dark.
tweed suit and what looked like a
regimental tie, but I didn't know the
colors. He was very tanned, as I have
said, even to the backs of his hands
-and, oh, yes, there was one point-
he had a gold • covered tooth.'
"''4 hich tooth?"
"2 can t remember, except that it
was on the left side, and I always
noticed it when he smiled:"
"I)id he wear any ring or pin which
you would recognize?"
"No:'
"Was there anything queer in his
speech or voice?"
"No. Ile spoke like thousands of
other Englishmen."
Harley nodded briskly and button-
ed up his overeat. "Thanks, Mr.
Bampton," he said; "we will detain
yon no longer."
As we descended the stairs, where
the smell of frying sausage had given
place to that of something burning ---
probably the sausages --Harley said:
"I was h;~1f inclined to think that
Major Ragste.ft ideas were traceable
to a former touch of the sun. I begin
to believe that be has put us on the
track of a pretty unusual creme. I am
Berry to delay dinner, Knox, but I pro-
pose to call at the Cafe Dame."
On entering the doorway of the
Cafe Dame we found ourselves in a
narrow passage. In front of ire was
a
=voted stair ante iv the right a
glass pane-Ve door communicating
e'en a discreetly lighted little dining
room which seemed to be well patron-
ized. Opening the door, Marley 1�ec'k-
anesi to a waiter, "I wish tm Tee the

ment, sir," he answered,

"In his office upstairs, sir. Ho will
be down in a moment." •
The waiter hurried away, and Har-
ley
arley stood glancing up the stairs as if
in doubt what to do.
"1 can't imagine how such a place
can pay," he muttered. "The sent
must be enormous in this district."
But even before he ceased speaking
I became aware of an excited -toner-
sation which was taking place in some
apartment above.
Its scandalous!" I heard, in a wo-
man's shrill voice. "You lime no
right to keep it! It's not your prop-
erty, and I'm here to demand that
you give it up."
A. man's voice replied in voluble
broken English, but I could only dis-
tinguish a word here and there. I saw
that Hark , was interested, for, catch-
ing my questioned glance, he raised
his fingers to his lige, enjoining me to
be silent.
"Ob, that's the game, is it?" con
tinned the female voice. "Of course
you know it's blackmail?"
A flow of unintelligible words ans-
wered this speech.
"I shall come back with some one,"
cried the woman, "who will make you
give it up!"
'Knox," whispered Barley in my
ear, "when that woman comes down,
follow her! I'm afraid: you will bungle
the business, and I would not ask you
to attempt it if big things were not at
stake. Come back hen: I shall wait"
As a matter of fact, his sudden re-
quest had positively astounded Pie, but
before I had time for any reply a door
suddenly banged open above and a
respectable looking woman, who might
have been some kind of upper servant,
came quickly down the stairs. With-
out seeming to notice our presence,
she brushed past us and went out into
the street.
Off you go, Knox!" said Harley.
Seeing myself committed to an un-
pleasant business, I slipped out of the
doorway and saw the woman five or
six yards away hurrying in the direc-
tion of Piccadilly. I had no difficulty
in following her, for she was evident-
ly unsuspicious of my presence, and
when presently she mounted a west-
ward bound bus I dill likewise. Though
she found a seat inside I went
on top,
and occupied a place on
the near side
where I could observe anyone leaving
the vehicle.
At Hyde Park Cotner I saw the wo-
man descending. and when presently
she walked up Hamilton Place I was
not far behind her. At the door of
an imposing mansion she stopped, and
in response to a ring of the bell the
door was opened by a footreaneand
the woman hurried in, Evidently she
was an inmate of the establishment;
and conceiving that my duty was Bono
when I had noted the number of the
house I retraced my steps to the
corner and, hailing a taxicab, return-
ed to the Cafe Dame.
I inquired of the same waiter whom
Harley had accosted whether my
friend was there,

"I think a gentleman is upstairs
with Mr. Meyer," said the man.
"In his office?`'
"Yes, sir."
I mounted the stairs and before a
half -open deur paused. Harley's voice
was audible within, so I knocked soul
entered. I discovered Harley stand
ing by an American desk. Beside him
in a revolving chair, which, with the
desk, constituted the principal furni-
ture of a tiny office, sat a man in a
dress suit which had palpably not
been made for him. He had a sullen
and suspiciously Teutonic cast of
countenance, and was engaged in a
voivable but hardly intelligible speech
as I entered.
"Ha, Knox!" said Harley, glancing
mice his shoulder, "did you manage?"
"Yes," I replied.
Harley padded shortly and turned
again to the man in the chair.
"I am sorry to give you so much
trouble,, Mr. Meyer," he said, "but I
should like my friend here to see the
roopi above,"
At this moment my attention was
