PlMlo Vane, District Attorney Markham, and Sergeant Heath of the Homicide Bureau Investigate ifhe Keating home and question iceineen Keating and Mrs. Kent- ing, 'Casettes brother and wife, the presence of Eldaidge Fleel, Kenting family attorney. Vance doubts the kidnapping story. He further questions Weenas the but- ler, Mrs. Kenting's mother, Mrs. Falloway, and son Fraim Fallo- way, and Porter Quaggy, recent teur friend of Kaspar's and last person to be with him. AM reveal an undercurrent of hostility to Kasear. At this time a ransom mote arrives demanding $50,000 and freedom from police interim- ence. Vance and Markham con - ' suit the Kentings and Fleet, their lawyer. It is decided to allow the police a free hand in dealing with the erupposed kidnappers. A dummy package is substituted for the money and then secreted in a tree in Central Park according to instructicrns. The police capture a cloaked figure in the act of tak- ing it. "Pretty nice work," Heath sang out it% satisfaction, just as I reached e ground and took a tighter hold n my automatic. Vance brushed, by e from. around the tree and stood irectly in float' of Heath.

He moved to Mrs. Fallowa,y's side and offered Oeer his arm. "May I hien the Pleasure of taking you home?" The 'woman took 'his arm without. hesitation. "Weer* very chivalrous., bie. Vance, and 1 would appreciate ,the court-. tom." Vanee startedacross the lawn with. the woman. "Come, Snitkin," he called pre-emp- torily, and the detective walked s,wift- ly to his cab and opened the door. A moment later they were beaded to- ward the main traffie artery which leads te Central Park West. ft was but a short time before the rest of us started for the Renting house. "I geese we'd better follow Mr. Vance," Heath growled. "There's something mighty phony about 'this Whole business." , When we pulled up in front of the Renting house, which suddenly seem- ed black and sinister in the semi -dark we all quickly jumped to the sidewalk and ihastened in. a body to the front door. Weems, in a dark pongee dressing - robe, opened the door for us and made a superfluous gesture toward the cleabri.ng-roone Through the wide open slitlingdoors we could see. Vance and Mae Falloway seated. Venice, without rising, greeted us whimsically as we entered. - "Mrs. Falloway," he explained to us, "wished. .to remain here a short while to rese before going upstairs. Beastly ascent, .y' know." At that moment there was a ring at .the front door, and Heath went out quickly to answer it. As he swung the ponderous door back, I could eas- ily see, from where I stood; the figure of Porter Quaggy outside. "What do you want?" Heath de- manded bluntly, barring the way. "1 don't want anything," Quaggy re- turned in a cold, eneriendly voice; "-if that answer, will benefit you in any way -except to ask how Mrs. Kenting is and if you know anything more about Kasper." "Let the Johnnie come in, Serge- ant," Vance called out In a low, com- manding voice. "I'll tell him what he wants to know. And I also desire to ask hen a • qu'estion or two." Quaggy stepped in•sride briskly and joined us in the drawing room. , "Well, what thappene,d to -night?' he asked. "Nothing -really nothing," Vance answeredeasually, without looking up. 'Positively nOthing. Quite a fizzle, don't y' knOw. Very sad . . . But I am rather glad you decided to pay us this improm,ptu visit, Mr. Qeaggy. Would' you mind telling us where you were to -night." "I was at home fretting about Kas- per. Where were yall?" Vance smiled and sighed. "Not that it should coricern you in the slightest, sir," he said in his most dulcet voice, "but -since you ask -I acne clirabing a tree. Silly pastime - what?" Quaggy swung about to Kenting. "You raised the money, Kenyon, and complied with the instructions in the follow-up note?" he asked. "Yes," Kenting said in a low voice, "but it did no good." "A swell bunch of cheap d:Ink..4," Quaggy sneered. "Didn't any one show up to collect?" "Oh, yes, Mr. Quaggy.' It was Vance who answered. "Some one called,for the money at the appointed hour, and aetually took it. 'Phe cul- prit is here with us in this rOoM." Don?.t be too precipitate." As he spoke, two taxicabs 'swung redly along the pedestrian walk on he left with a contintious shrill lowing of horns. They came to a erky stop with a tremendous clatter nd squeaking of brakes. Then the wo chauffeurs leaped out of the cabs hd came rushing to the scene with ub-machine guns. "Step back, Sergeant," Vance cone ded. "You're far too rough. I'll andle this situation." Something in is voice overrode Heath's zeal -there as no ignoring the authority his ords carried. Both Heath. and Sul- ivan released their hold on the sil- nt figure between them-. mane "I shouldn't try that if I were yon-etulese, of courge, you wish to have me break your *leg and dislo- cate your hip. Pm quite familiar with the trick. Picked it up In Japan." Quaggy abruptly withdrew bis foot, but said nothing. "1, found a alas -ruby 1 Kaspar Kenting's ,dinner jacket yesterday morning," Vance proceeded calmly. "A bales -ruby is also missing from- th,e collection across the hall. Inter- estin' mattoematieal itene-eh?" "What the hell's interesting about it?" retorted the other with a sewer. "I was only'wonderine" he said, "If there might be some connection be- tween that imitation ruby and the black opals int your apartment . . By the by, do You pare to mention where you obtained stioh valuable gem specimens?", Quaggy did not answer, end Vance turned to the District Attorney. ' 'I, think, in view of the gentleman's attitude, Markham and the fact -that be is the last person known tti, have been with the missing Kasper, , it would be advisable to hold [him as a material witness.". "I came by those open; legitimate- ly," Quaggy said quickly, "I bought them from Kasper last night, as he said be. needed some immediate cash for the evening." - "I've suspected for a long time," Mrs. Fallowa.y said, "that Kasper had been resorting to that colleCticat of gems for gambling money . . . But I'm very tired, and I'm sufficiently rested now to return, to my room." "But, Mrs. Falloway," blurted Kent- ing, I -I don't understand your being in the park to -night Whyl-why--?" "Mr. Vance understands," she an- swered curtly. "That, I think, is quite sufficient." Her gaze shifted from Kenting and she seemed to take us all in with a gracious glance. "Good night, gentlemen . . ." She started unsteadily toward the door, and Vance sprang to her side. "Permit me, madam, to accompany you. It's a long climb to your room." The woman bowed a courteous as- knowledgment and, for the second time that evening, took his arm. Markham, with a significant look at the Sergeant, left his ohair and took the woman's free arm. Heath moved closer to Quaggy who remained'stand- lag. Mrs. Falloway with her two es- corts, went slowly from the drawing room and 1 followed them. She found it necessary to pause momentarily at each step, and when we reached) her room she sank into the large wicker armchair with the air of a person wholly exhausted. "I should like to ask one or two eueetions, if yell are not too weary," said Vance. The woman_ nodded and ,smiled faintly. "Why did you Make the tremen- dous effort," Vance began, "of walk- ing in the park to -night?" "Why, to get all that money, of course," the old woman answered in 'mock surprise. "Anyway, j didn't at- tempt to walk all the way: I took a cab to within a few hundred feet of the tree." "Tell me, Mrs: Falloway, bow you knew your son intended to go to the tree for that ransom package." For a moment Mrs. Falloway's face was a mask. Then she said, in a deep, clear voice: 'it is very Vfficult to fool a mother, Mr. Vance. Fraira knew of the ran- som note and the instructions in it. He knew elso that Kenyon would raise the money somehow. The boy came upstairs and told me about it after you had left the house this af- ternoon. Then., when he came to my room a little before ten o'clock to- night, after having spent the evening with his sister and Ke,neon, and said he was going out, I knew what was in his mind And e --I wished to save hiin from that infainy."

There before us, leaning weakly and st,akily on a straight siaakeweod stick, the package ee false bank Dotes till clutched tightly in the left hand, was the benign, yet cynical, Mrs. An- drews Falloway. Her face showed no trace of fear or of agitation. In fact, there . was an air ofcalm satisfac- tion in her somewhat triumphant gaze. In her deep, cultured voice he said, as if exchanleng" pleasantries with some one at an afternoon tea: "How are you, Mr. Vance?" "I am quite well, telank you, Mrs. Falloway," Vance returnd suavely, with a courteous bow. fust then a slender form skulked swiftly across the lawn from the near- by path and, without. a word, joined the group directly behind the woman. It was Fraim Falloway. His expres- sion was both puzzled and downcast Vance threw tem a quick glance, but took no more notice of him. His mo- ther must 'have seen him out of the corner of her eye, but she showed no indication that she was aware of her son's presence. "You're out late to -night, Mrs. Fal- loway," Vance was saying graciously. "Did you enjoy your evening stroll?" "I at•least found it. very profitable," the oman answered with a 'harden- ing voice. As she spoke ,she held out the package. "Here's the bundle - containing money, I believe -which I found in bile hole of the tree. I'm getting rather old for lovers' trysts. Don't you think so?"

It should, be quite evident that poorly developed seeds will not produce " healthy, vigorous plants and that the practioe of grad- ing seed to produce a reasonably uni- form sample is well worth the effort. Besides maintaining the uniformity and vigour of tthe grain, careful grad- ing gives an added benefit in the re- moval of weed seeds. Weed problems to -day ere difficult enough for the farmer to solve without adding to them by sowing a fresh crop of weeds along with the grain. your desk yesterdlay." "And if I am, what then?" "Queer, don't y' know," Vance went on, "that there are no representative black opals in Karl Keating's collet - tion. Blank spaces lie the case where they should be. 1 can't imagine, real- ly, how an expert collector of semi- precious stones, abould have overlook- ed so important an item as the rare black opal." "I get the implication. Anything else?". Quaggy was standing relaxed but motionless in front, of Vance. Slowly he moved one foot forward, 88 if shifting the burden of hie weight from an overtired leg. By an almost iMpenceptible mcivement ins foot esane to within a few indhea of Vance's shoe.

With a little care they will ad eauty to th.e rest of the gand.en, t . Most pleasiag material of all for this purpose is flagstones. These are broad. flat, thin slabs of any soft stone, usually found in abundance around certain ever beds. Where such is not plentiful or cheap a good substitute can be made by casting thin blocks of ,concrete in regular moulds, rotighly a foot anti a half to two feet long and about 15 nc hes. wide. The stones are sun flush with the ground, wibh at least an inch and a half of grass left between edges. Sometimes after the sod is cut out the exact shape and depth of each stone, a little sand is added to the bottom of the hale, for drainage and to make the walk firmer. Built in this way the lawn mower will run right over the pathway. Ottuer walk materials The successful farmer is careful to control any parasites or diseases that iinay attack his live knock, and also, with reference to this seed), realizes that smut diseases, which take a heavy toll of the grain amp through- out the country, can be readily' con - Ironed by seed treatmient. Most of thesesmuts, namely, loose and cov- ered Smut of oats, covered smut of barley, and bunt or stinloing smut of wheat are carried on the outside of the seed ooat and rmay be very ef- fectively controlled by the use of either formal% or mercury com- pounds. • •• Loose smut of barley and loose smut of wheat are more difficult to 'handle. These two diseases are parried within the kernel and are not affected by surface treatments eueh as those men- tioned above. The only satiefactery Method known for the control of these two diseases is the hot water treatment. For the average fanner, this is not 11, practibal method, owing to the tact that fairly exact water temperatu,ree must be reached and Maintained. Sin% beteg the case, the farmer who finds his stock of barley and wheat inteetnd with loo ss Fund are sand, would be well advised to secure smut free seed. If ties is done•and, the new stock carefully handled, little trouble should be encoantered. ' from this source for several years. GOOD SEED IMPORTANT cinder or brick, the latter to be hand- led as the flag stones are lai in n1or- tar or cement. The sand and cinder will be simply rolled or pounded firm. In more or less formal .gardens where there are great beds of roses, and perennials and other things some- times wide strips of good grass be- tween beds are used for paths. Steps and Turns Steps, too can‘ be constructed of flag stones or brick but where there are several and very firm footing is essential it would be well to lay stone lit concrete. Winding paths are always ,more in- triguing than plain straight ones, but tbe beginner is advised against too many twists. One turn is about all the average city garden can afford. Moreover, professional landscape gar- deners point out that there should never be a curve without some de- finite reason, such as a corner of building or fence, or a tree o? shub- bery. But of course, 11 15 always per- missable to make a reason. por a curve by planting something in the way.

With shrubbery And trees of- ten main roots are cut and the shock is severe. Half a pail of water after setting out is not too much for such big things, and the watering should be repeated two or three terries a week if a quick start is wanted. With ordinary annuals and peren- nials liberal watering is also advis- able and, shelter fnom hot sun for the- first few days. Some pick-me-up in the way �f quickly available com- mercial fertilizer will help at this time, merely a pinch for smell things like tomato plants or asters, and per- haps up to. a couple of handfuls for shrubs and trees. Care should be taken in, the use of any commercial fertilizer that it does not actually touch roots or foliage. In the dry state it is liable to burn. Authorities usually play safe and dis- solVe the fertilizer Int water before applying. Early Vegetables In the regulations under the Seeds Act, grades of seed are defined as Inaistered Seed, Certified Seed and Geeeral 'Seeds of Commerce. Seed to qualify for a Registered or Certified seed grade must be of an approved variety, true to name, and seed under all grades must be well matured, plump, sound, aweet, well cleaned and graded to remove smelt shrunken, immature or broken kernels and inert reatter. It must possees strong vital- ity find conform to standard's of free- dom from noxious weed seeds and other inepurities• prescribed for the e 111e:rent grades. It should be etralphasized that cer- tain varieties of seeds are best suited for certain farms and conditions. The varieties most suitable for any farm can only be determined accurately by trial tests which"each farmer is urged to make. This is the time of the year when a farmer should plan to sow enough reg- istered or certified seeds in a small plot to test their value on, his own farm. To do this take a good piece of land, prepare it will, and clean the dein carefully betere sowing.
