If extra early flowering plants ar

layer of old rotted manure on leaf
mold, covering it with fully two inches
of good loam soil in which the seed-

apart with the rows four inches apart.
If a cold frame is not available- the
bed should be made in a sheltered part
of the garden and. it should be' raised
a few inches to insure perfect drain-

at most, is the most suitable size;
and it should be three or four inches
higher than the surrounding level:

"Confound' this sticky fly -paper!'
Killing Politeness!
The length to wheeh the Papuan's
ideas of courtesy will take lien was
David temained silent when Ma Tu
had finished his strange story. It,was
clear beyond a doubt that his connec-
tion with . the safe -guarding of the
ruby was known. The plotters'.: des-
peration to obtain the jeWel was no
spineless affair when they would spill
the blood of a foreigner, and that they
were out for his life was'a&proven fact,
David's ire was aroused. Their coward-
ice—their back hitting methods—prov-
ed them too tawdry for a white man
to soil his .hands with.
"There are dirty dogs in the world,,
eh, Ma Tu? But we'll show them a
bullet's too good for them. I bard you
to thank for being whole at this min-
ute, and my memory isn't short, boy."'
If Ma Tu wasn't just sure.. of the
English words, there wasno mistak-
ing the look on his master's face or
the grip of his hand, and he was satis-
fied. His Eastern logic told him that
the God of Friendship had indeed
blessed him. -
"And now, Ma To, I'll -have to leave
you for a few hours, ' The gods of for-
tune, or rather the goddess of every-
thing that's wonderful' and beautiful
in this prosaic old' world, is sending
me to the hills,"
"Hills? You go to hills? I go. too,"
David turnedonthe boy a look of
amused surprise. The last three words
were a'final, unargumentative state-
ment: 'David'was;reminded of a stub-
born bull pup who had just found out
his ability to not let go. Ma Tu had
ris1ix. Resolutely he buttoned his
shift over the wound, fastened his
jacket to the neck, and stood ready
fon his master's instructions,
'Ma Tu," David's voice was quiet
but firm,"you perhaps misunderstood
me, . I did not say you were to ac-g
company me, I said' you were to stay
L n n 11
The boy bowed in acknowledgment
of the command, and then raising a
calm face, replied` in a tone' that,be-
tokened his mind Was made up, "1
obey master, yes, but I Chinese. I obey
gods first, They tell me to protect
master. I go to the mountains too."
David looked on in comical amaze-
ment at this to c,

a wonderful radiance an object on the
peals of a distant hill. David's biblical
scene vanished.. Before him coruscated
an emblem of paganism --a 'Buddhist
temple.
With the darkness had fled Ma Tu's
dread of the unknown. His smile grew
frequent and he answered his master's
sallies with 1pw, full chuckles.
Concern for his faithful servant
caused David to lead a moderate pace.
While a flesh wound heed' not be seri-
ous, still it might ,prove,';painful and'
very troubleeom'e,` and setting aside
his genuine' liking for the Chinese boy,
David did not relish the idea of having
him sick on his hands just then.
So 'half an hour later than it usu-
ally took to cover the distance, the
templehome of;the Culvers loomed in
sight, Voices floating down, to them
proclaimed not all the household were
asleep. Servants, no ,'doubt,. decided
David. He wondered if he could get
word to the doctor without alarming
his wife. He had c)istelouited, and in-
structed Ma To, to take the horses to
the . stable, when to his surprise the
doctor himself, carne walking down
the path. •
Culver shook hands with his visitor
cordially, and to David's surprise, took
his call as a matter of course.
"News travels fast even in, China,
I notice. You, are the first on the
scene, not even: a Chinese official has
arrived yet."
"You have sent for protection
then?" enquired David,
"Do you think it necessary?" ques-
tioned Culver. "It seems to me our
protection, is ample enough, with two
men dead already,"
'Two men dead?" echoed David,
blankly.
It was Culverts turn to look sur-
prised.
u
prised. "Why then, if you haven'
heard, what brings you here at th
hour, my dear boy?"
"I heard lest'night, sir, that an at-
tempted robbery 'was to be made on
