"In this way .I would have two:luore witnesses • of Robert's arrival --first the lodge -keeper, and 'secondly one of the gardeners whom.I would have working on the front lawn.

For it wasthe one piecr..of evidence .•which I,wanted; evidence other than, my own that Mark and Robert were in the room together. "I paid nothing. I was not going to take the risk of being heard to speak in that room. I just smiled at the poor little fool, and took out my revolver and, shot him, Then I went back into the library and waited—just as I said in my .evidence. "Can you imagine, Mr. Gillingham, the shook which yotr sudden appear- ance gave ane?

'You have found out the secret—that Robert was Mark— and that is all that matters. How have you found out? I shall never, know, now. Where did I, go wrong? Perhaps you have been deceiving me all the time. Perhaps you knew, about the keys, about the 'window, even about the secret passage. You are a clever man, Mr.. Gillingham..

The obvious answer: was that he hadn't.- Mark had put it; there." "Go • on," said Bill 'eagerly. • "Well, : why had Mark ' changed down there instead of in his bedroom? The only answer wee that the fadt of his changing had to be kept secret, When did he change? The only pos- sible -time was between lupch. (when he would be seer, by the servants) and the moment of Robert's arrival. ' And when did Cayley collect the'clothes in a brindle?' Again, the •only answer was `Before Robert's arrivaI.'

Also, if Robert vat, to be murdered, why go out of the way to announce Isis existence to you all? I began to feel now that Robert was an incident only; that the plot was. a plot of C,ay- ley's against Mark—either to get him to kill his brother, or to get his tiro: then to kill him—and that for some inexplicable reason Mark seemed to be lending himself to the plot." He was silent for a little, and then said, almost to himself, 'I had seen. the empty brandy bottles in that cup- board "You never,. said anything about then:," complained Bill.

After this, however, 'i0 1s -advisable -to slow dawn, so that the plants .may get hardened before the cold. weather, sets M. Just now, . according to A. H. Tomlinson, 0.A.C.. Guelph, ;nitrate ,of soda is one of the best fertilizers to use for 'promoting growth. A scant tablespoonful of this dug in lightly -around the .plant, but not touching it, is •advised. One or two :applications a fortnight apart will be sufficient.: ;After July, slower acting fertilizers, titch as Norio man - .urs or bene meal'should be given, and only shallow -cultivation 'is advised. A few, low -growing plants, such as ,pans - les, calendulas, or dwarf nasturtiums, will brighten up the bed and will prove of -au advantage to the roses. Push Sweet Peas Along The- -sweet- peas must get their growth now before the `hot weather really sets in. They needdeep culti- vation and fairly heavy fertilizing. If grown iu'a trench, asthey, should be, gradually draw in the soil around them, so that deep Toots may develop. In this case they will come' through a siege 00 hot weather more easily than if a shallow that growtb, which does not penetrate into the cooler soil, only has been grown... Suet .before the buds begin to swell, a tittle fer- tilizer sprinkledalong the rows and well watered in, will help the plants a great deal and will add to the depth of colour of the flowers: Plant More Beans String beans, never so delicious as when taken from the garden right at the door, pray be produced all sum- mer. Thefirst crop should he well under way now, but with its harvest- ing there is no reason why this popu- lar.vegetable should be given up. Get- ting the beans into °the ground -at stated intervals guarantees steady production. Any one can grow them and for the amount ofspaceoccupied they are one of the most economical vegetables 908 have. They like the warm weather,. plenty of water and fairly light soil. One can get them dwarf or climbing, and, while the lat- ter sort are a little more difficult to handle, Moles and string being neces- sary, they will give a bigger crop for, the space, occupied. They come, too, in two colours, green and yellow, the last mimed being known as the wax type. The green sort seem to be get- ting more popular, and some insist that they have a finer flavor, but there is little to chose. It is not advisable to plant them in hills, except possibly, in low, damp ground, where they are liable to be kept too wet. Plant about an inch deer, and thi nta live 02' six inches' apart. A row or 26 feet5 will keep the average family going for about two weeps.
