was a sound of scuffling; the incensed
listener in the hall heard the girl cry'
out in an agitated voice:, "Oh! You
are hurting me!" which was immedi-
ately followed by a stifled shriek that
chilled the blood in his veins:
Next 'instant he had grasped the
knob and thrown all his weight against'
the door,
it was unbolted and crashed open
With explosive violence. His irrup-
tion promptly quieted the disturbance,
The man—it was the sandy -complex-
ioned man—stood with dropped jaw,
staring blankly at the intruder.
.And the girl? His heart leaped.: His
Whole being was s a u with z h a warm
glow, The girl that be had despaired
of ever seeing again, what unhappy
mischance bad brought her to this,
peril? And what unrecognized mes•
sage had prompted him to arrive upon
the scene so opportunely?
After the first shock of pleased sur-
prise, Van Vechten flamed, then
turned to ice. His regard traveled to
the man in a narrowed look of anger'
that left him white to the lips. It was
a hard look, an ugly, wicked look that
spelled danger.
But his lifelong habit of represeion
checked any violent diaplay of feeling
on his part, The spell was broken
when he composedly advanced a step
farther into the room, not for an in-
stant moving his steely regard from
the man. All of a sudden his thin lips
twisted in an odd little smile that
,was not at all pleasing to see,
"Well?" he said quietly. Save for
the uniblstakable undercurrent of
menace, the tone might have been af-
tabie,
So profound was the other man's
'stupefaction that he mechanically re-
leased the girl's wrists and fell back
a pace. Only a quick anticipation of

floor; as it was she staggered back -

!stayed her. At this she clutched,
clinging to its edges, and, wide-eyed,
stared from one to the other of the
sten. Her tormentor's brain, obvious -
4,, stirred only sluggishly; but all at
pnee the sullen features were congest-
ted with blood, the veins on his fore-
head swelled, and all his fury—now re-
doubled—was directed at Van Vech-
ten.
"Where in hell did you come from?"•
he snarled Venomously. •
"Anyhow, not the same neighbor-
hood that bred you." Van Vechten;
eyed him a moment longer with inex--'
pressible disfavor, "Good Lord!" he'
added. "What a nasty brute you are!"
Nothing less 'than paralyzing amaze-'
ntent, apparently, restrained Calks'
from leaping upon Van Vechten and
finishing him out of hand. And per
haps, too, there was a quality in 'be
young man's bearing that had some'
thing to do with it—his unflinehing
nerve, the mastery of his look, the in.
evitabis dominanee of caste and breed-
ing. With a little bow, Vau Vechten
turned again to the girl.
"You are at perfect liberty to de-
part," he said, with calm, dignified
deference. "And, really, I think you
had better do so at once. I cau hold
this rufan—at least until you make
good your escape, Once you are in
the street, yoti know, and you are
sate"
By this time she had regained soma -
thing of her own composure; but the
cool assurance of this punctiliously
garbed young man, the obvious deter-
mination and air of authority that lay
?behind his courtesy, evoked from her
A look of startled wonder, The heavy
;lashes half -veiled . her dark eyed as
they wavered to Calks, then back
again to him; it was a covert, all -ap-
praising glance. Then her Iips ourled
scornfully.
What was passing in her mind was

;flushed hotly, Already be had made

!no illusions respecting the possible
outcome of a combat. •

without the slightest hesitation, he

Through his mind all these aspects

the bludgeon which his fatuous wit
ad so disparaged
to Torn!
He was• guilty of no error of Judie
Smut now, however; Calks gave him
but scant time to reflect, then rushed,
not at him, but at the girl. Simultane-
ously Van Vechten plunged headlong
onward, interposing his lighter body
etween.
Amid the stress and confusion of
violent situations, the human mind is
Apable of the most ridiculous pranks.

The farther Tom went, the more in

owner -for Tom was familiar with
every private craft that acknowledged
New York as its hoine port --and I'm
from 'beteg dazzled by a bewildering
display of precious stones, the sparkle
of a diamond here would have been so
conspicuous as to be startling.
To his unobservant eye' there was
nothing to indicate what manner of
business might be carried, on here.
13i'ownlow's private room was even
dingier and more uninviting tban the
outer office—for all the world like the
husk of a frost-bitten nut of which
Brownlow was the wrinkled kernel.
But could Tom have been present
while the importer was entertaining a
prospective customer, he would have
obtained an insight into Brownlow's
methods, In front of the only window
that was scrupulously clean stood a
wide table. Across the polished top
two comfortable leathern chairs faced
each other. Two or three dark pur-
ple velvet pads and a couple of Jewel-
er's lenses Iay here and there upon
the top itself. At these two places the
importer and the customer would have
been sitting tete-a-tete, the latter hark-
ening while the former discoursed at
length upon any subject save the ono

one of the bent figures in the outer•of-

beneath bis arm a small leather case.
After this bad been deposited at
Brownlow's elbow and the bent figure
had retired to re -attach himself to his
own particular ponderous ledger, the

ue review the elementary steps.
Towards the end of neat month
arrange fop one or more bot beds.
Nothing more than a heap of stable
manure, which, by providing heat
through fermentation, warms a layer
of soil placed on the top of the heap,
which in turn is protected from the
weather by a wooden frame support.
ing a roof of glass. The manure needs
to be fresh, and to be turned over a
few times before finishing the heap.
Three or four loads of manure to each
frame six by twelve would about be
the h allowance, Thet
dimensions are
those customary with market garden-
ers. The frame needs covering with
sacking or burlap during the night.
The warmth will enable us to grow
small crops .of quick -growing vege-
tables, particularly radishes, lettuce
and carrots, and with a little trouble,
beans and potatoes may be grown to
maturity. It
also enables us to start tart
seeds of cabbage, celery, tomatoes,
eggplant, ggp t, peppers, cucumbers, melons
and vegetable marrow and have sturdy
plants ready for setting out at a time
when our less fortunate neighbors are
tut sowing seeds in the open ground,
Sow the last three in flower pots or
in upturned grass sods; they are very.
difficult .to'transpant ordinarily. As
much as one month's gain in earlier
cropping may be looked for as a re-
ward for our extra trouble with a hot
bed.
Sow also in the £ratne, Oardoon, a
very palatable vegetanle, grown and
h,anehed somewhat similar to celery.
"You might also try a few seeds of
skirret. a plant from China, formerly
much' liked, but now almost lost sight

by spinach or tomatoes. Companion

Our planning being completed, the

arrive, Make one of your first sow-
ings of Alaska peas on a dry piece of
ground, I find that with me these
give good results on light soil by sow-
ing actually before the frost leaves the
soil; other vegetablescan wait until
the soil is dug out and prepared for
them, This digging ought to have
been done in the fall; assuming itwas
omitted, if the soli is deep and has
previously grown good orons, trench
it; in other words, dig it two spades
deep If the graund is new, digit one
spade deep.
For a good garden a deep, rich . soil
is essential, and for this trenching is
desirable; hut if the soil is shallow,
trenching is harmful, for subsoil is
not soil, I have known eight to ten
inches of good garden soil, capable of
eupportirg a crop of the lesser vege
tables, buried under a foot of villain
ous, gravely hardpan, brought to the
surface at the expense of much money,
labor and time.
If the soil is poor before digging,
spread over a quantity of rotted horse
or stable manure—a wheelbarrow load
to each ten square yards is a good
allowance—or, failing tbat, use the
best substitute, pulverized sheep ma
nure, at the rate of two pounds per
square yard. After digging, rakefair
ly smooth and begin sowing the hard

cabbage and its allies, thekale, Savoys

The subse q uent attention of the gar
den in most cases resolves itself' ito
keeping the weeds do stirring
w o down by st r ng
the soil between the rows with the
hoe; generally plants are helped along
if occasionally a small quantity of
chemical manure is spread on the
ground between the rows. This hoe-
ing by hihdering evaporation from the
soil also conserves moisture. Water
ing is unnecessary in most cases, in
fact, is a disadvantage unless you. eau
water thoroughly and regularly,.
except in the case of celery and a few
others.
I would recommend that the round
best for summer use be. grown with
other vegetables, but the long rooted
]rinds, which take almost twice as long
to grow, are quite good subjects for
the flower garden on account of their
decoretivefoliage.
We have meutioned most of the well
known vegetables and quite a few
that are little known, we must not,
however, exclude the niustaad and
cress, which may be grown all the
summer in any odd corner of the gar
den and during the winter on wet
moss, sand or INI11101 m nn 1 in the house. As

d., R. a D LA'S
NORWAY PINE SYRUP
CW3fz19 491111+11.'
Mr. Wallace II. Grange, Vancouver;,
13.C., writes: "During a cold spell here
about the middle or last October (1913),
1 caught a cold which got worse despite
all treatments I could obtain, until
about November 22nd, a friend said,
Why not try Dr. Wood's Norway
Pine Syrup?' Really, I had no faith in
It at the time as I' had tried nearly every
other remedy I had heard of, to no avail,
but I thought I would' give this last
remedy a trial, I purchased a 50 cent
bottle, and in three days I was feeling
n different man. My cold was so hard,
and the coughing so prolonged, 'that
vomiting occurred after a Bard spell of
coughing. I carried the bottle in my
pocket, and every time I was seized with
a coughing spell I would tape a small dose.
I can moat heartily recommend Dr,
Wood's Norway Pine Syrup to anyone
with a severe cold, as its powers are most
marvelous, and I never intend being
without it at all times,"
When you ask for "Dr. Wood's" see
that you get what you ask for. It is
put up in a yellow wrapper; three pine
trees the trade mark; the price, 25c and
50; manufactured only by The T.
btilburn Co,, Limited, Toronto, Ont.
