"You do not, for instance, happen to
know how he came here from the
Dormy House?"
"If you mean did he come in my
car," Granet answered easily, "please
let me assure you that he did not. My
errand here last right was indiscreet
enough, but I certainly ehouldn't have
brought another man, especially a
stranger, with me."
"Thank you," Major Thomeon con-
cluded, "that is all I have to say to
you for the present.
"Has thee been much damage
done?" Grand inquired.
"Very little."
They had reached the corner of the
avenue. Granet glanced down towards
the road.
"I presume,' lie remarked, "that I
am at liberty to depart?"
Thomson gave a brief order to the
soldier who had been. attending them.
"You will find the ear in winch you
came waiting .to take you back, Cap-
tain Granet," he announced.
The two men had paused. Granet
was on the point of departure. With
the passing of his sudden apprehension
of danger, his curiosity was awakened.

Thomeorea he asked, "how it ie that
you, holding, I presume, a medical ap-
pointment, were selected to conduct
an inquiry like this? I have voltunar-
ily submitted myself to your question,
ittg, but if I had had anything to cone
ceal I might have been inclined to dis-
put your authority."
Thoneson's face was immovable. He
simply pointed to the gate at the end
of the even -0.
"If it had been necessary, Captain
; Granet," he said. coldly, "I should have
been able to convince you that I was
. acting under authority. As it is, I
wish you good -morning."
Granet hesitated, but only for a
moment. Then he shrugged ha Shoul-
ders and turned away.
"Good -.morning, Major!"
He made his way down to the lane,
which was still crowded with villagers
and loungers. He was received with a
shower of questions as he climbed into
the car.
"Not much damage done that I can
hear," he told them all. "The carter
of the house caught fire and the lawn
leeks like a sand -pit"
He was driven in silence back to
the Dormy House. When he arrived
there the place was deserted. The
other men were lunching at the golf
club. He made his way slowly to the
impromptu shed which served for a
garage. His own car was standing
there. He looked all around to make
sure that he was absolutely alone.
Then he lifted up the cushion by the
driving -seat. Carefrlly folded and ar-
ranged in the corner were the horn -
rimmed spectacles and the silk hand-
kerchief of the man who was lying at
Market Burnham with a bullet
through his forehead.

ratlike a singular one for the evening?
You say that you were on your way

Grant for a moment bit his lip.

you see that we are engaged?"
She took no notice of him. She turn-
ed appealingly ;towards Major Thom-
son.
“Can you gelid the soldiers away far
a moment?" she begged. "I don't
think that they will be needed."
Major Thomson gave a brief order
and the men left the room. Isabel
came a little nearer to the table. She
avoided looking at Granet.
"I am very sorry, indeed," she went
on, "if anything I have done has
eaused all this trouble. Captain Gran -
et came down, here partly to play golf,
partly at my invitation. He was here
yesterday afternoon, as my father
knows. Before he left—I asked him
to come over last night."
There was a breathless silence.
Isabel was standing at the end of
the table, her fingers still clasped
nervously together, a spot of intense
color in her cheeks. She kept her
eyes turned sedulously away from
Grand. Sir Meyville gripped her by
the ho lder
"What do you mean, girl?" he de-
manded harshly. "What do you maul
by all this rubbish? Speak out."
Granet looked up for a moment. ,
"Don't," he begged. "I can clear
myself, Miss Worth, if any one is maul
enough to have suspicions about me.
I should never—"
"The truth may just as well be told,"
she interrupted. "There is nothing to
be ashamed of. It is hideously dull
down here, and the life my father has
asked me to lead for the last few
months has ;been intolerable. I never
sleep, and I invited Captain Granet
to come over here at twelve o'clock
last sight and take me for a motor
ride. I was dressed, meaning to go,
, and; Captain Granet came to fetch me.
It turned out to be impossible because

I here, and that,' she concluded, turn-
ing to Major Thomson, "is. why, I
suppose, he felt obliged to tell you
what was not the truth. It has been

I There was a silence which seemed
rot -reposed of many elements. Sir
Meyville Worth etood with his eyes
fixed upon his daughter and an ex-
pression of blank, uncomprehending,
dismay in his features. Granet, a
frown upon his forehead, was looking
towards the floor. Thoma -on, with the
air of seeing nobody, was sex:a:leg

prepare for three early spring mes-
sengers. I find that the bed or border
in which bulbs are to be planted should
be prepared by deep spaduag, raising
the ground a little so that water will
net stand on thein. I have diacoyered
that good }surface and under dreabege
are 'essentiale for successful enab-
growing. If the ground is not natur-
ally ?let and porous, I work in a
liberal dressing of well -rotted manure
and bone duet. I never use fruit
menure, aract I let none come in contact
with the bulbs. A handful of sand
placed around each bulb is very bene-
ficial. I always taw to plant all bulbs
of the same variety the same depth,
otherwise they will not bloom at the
same time. Most ;bulbs may he set
so that the tops will be three or four
inches ,beneath the surface of the sail,
and four or eight inches apart. Daffo-
dils, tulips, narcissus and jonquils
should be panted five or six inches
apart, and about fear inches deem
Crocuses, seines, anemones, snow-
drops, chionotIoxas, and other small
bulbs shouldbe set two and a half
to three inches apart, and about two
and a half inches deep. About the
middle of October is a good time to
plant.
After the ground has frozen, and
on the .approaoh of severe freezing
weather, I cover the bed with leaves,
straw, or other dry material to a
depth of several inches. This pre-
vents the bulbs from starting to grow
during a worm spell, and also pre-
vents injury from spring freezing or
thawing. A few evergreen boughs or
brush thrown across the top will pre-
vent the mulch from blowing away.
This covering should be removed as
soon as severe freezing is over.
I never allow the bulb flowers to go
to seed, as this robs the bulb of vitality
and makes it deteriorate. It is best
to cut the flower stems either when
it blooms, or immediately afterward,1
with a slump knife. With a little caret

factorily for several years without

Compressed yeast should be as
fresh as possible and free from any
odor other than the well-known yeasty
odor, It should be fairly soft, but
should break easily. It shoulki never
be mixed with any liquid which is
more than lukewarm.
Liquid yeast ehould always be kept
covered and in a cool place. It should
have a yeasty .odor only and should
not be kept more than two weeks with-
out freshening. •
A good liquid yeast is made thus:
4 medium-sized potatoes, washed and
pared; I. quart hot water, 1/4 cup sugar,
1 teaspoon ealt, 1 -cake dry yeast
soaked in 14 cup warm water, or 1
cake compressed yeast.
Grate or grind the potatoes directly
into the water (a food grimier is con-
venient for the purpose). Boil about
6 minutes, stirring constantly. Add
the sugar and salt and allow the mix-
ture to Neel. When lukewarm, add the
Yeast. Keep at ordinary temperature
(about 70 degrees Fahrenheit) foe 24
hours, when 'it will be ready for use.
This yeast should be kept in a cool,
dark place.
Ate earthen jar or enamelware pail
is a good container for it and should
be scalded before the yeast is put into
it.—R. K.

Preventing Children's Diseases.
"Why prevent children's diseases?"
some one may ask. "Every child has
to have them sometime, and the soon-
er the better." The person who talks
in that way generally argues from the
common belief that measles or. scarla-
tina is snore serious in an adult than
it is in a (child. That is not so; but
even if it were so, it would still be
wise not to expose a child to them,
since the older he grows the loss likely -
he is to take them.
There are only two ways to protect
a child from disease: one is to keep
him in perfect health by providing
him with good food and good am and
seeing that 'he gets proper exeroise,
and the other is to keep him aivay
from any child who may carry con-
tagion. The first way is only relative-
ly effective, but the second is certain.
It is easy enough, of course, to keep
a child away from a companion who is
sick enough to be in bed or in the
house; it is net so easy and is quite ae
important to keep aim from the play-
mate who is convalescent, for ignorant
parents often permit the convalescent
child to seek his friends while he is
still able to transmit the -disease.
When such a childceases to be dan-
gerous depends on what disease he
has had. After measles and German
measles a Child should not mingle with
other children until at least a week
after the eruption has disappeared..
After scarlet fever he should see no
other children for three weeks; after
chicken pox, not until all the 'pimples
have completely healed; after mumps
he should ree none of his playmates
for several days after the swelling has
disappeared; after whooping cough he
should keep from them for a week or
ten days after the last "whom)." Fol-

Egg's Fight With Moss.
A French naturalist recently had
the rare opportunity of observing an
inteesely interesting struggle for
existence between an egg and a inoea
plant.
The egg was that of a lizard which
had been deposited on a cushion of
moss. It was enclosed by a white pro-
tective covering ot leather -like tough-
.
ness.
Tho more on which the tip of the
egg rested secreted et the polka of
contact a subetance that gradually dis-
solved the leathery shell of the egg.
When there was 110 longer any re.
1 sistance, the stem of the mrss plart
penetrated the ,shell and rant Its
branches through the substance of the
egg, emerging at the opposite end.
But the e;:fg was equal to the omen
gency. It enveloped. the stem of *the
moss inside the egg with a membran-
ous coating that formed an Os -elating
tube around the Intruder,
Then the moss sent out side branch-
es through the egg, travervtng It, but
these also were merle innocuous by an
albuminous coating.
In spite of this struggle agalust the
intruding moss, the lizard embryo de-
veloped to all appearances normally,
and filially emerged from its pram' un-
harmed.
