SYNOPSIS Released from prison atter serv- ing fifteen? years for a murder he didn't commit, Mark Giant goes, to the office of a lawyer. named Fosdick to collect alegacy left to him while he was in prison. When Fosdick . tells him he will have to wait, Mark accepts an in- vitation to a partyhelp rt to ' a young man named Teddy Banks win a bet with Archie Landon. Although Mark tells them his real name, Archie introduces him as "Stewart Byram." At the party Mark meets Burleson, the man who sent him to prison, and Burle- son does not recognize him, and Mark decides not to reveal his id'entitl to Pam until he,finds the real murderer. He is lunching with Pam when Fosdick joins them. When Pam introducesr hi'm as "Mr. Byrram," Fosdiccj ,pretends not to know him. Mar goes out to call a taxi for Pam and when he returns he is surprised to tis cover that . Fosdick 'has not told Pam who he is. They looked at each other. Bitter- ness and shame and . blind rage at the old lawyer seemed suddenly swept clean away; Mark only knew that he loved Pam! • "Of course you saw that something was -wrong?" She gave him a sweet, franklook, putting out her hand. "I thought he was -horrid!" she cried warmly. He held' her hand .close a moment and kept it to help her into the taxi. He could not tell her there -in the street!, She smiled at him from the caver- nous 'depths of the checkered black and yellow monster. "You're coming to see me? Let me see -I'm home to- morrow afternoon, five o'clock." He had no right •to go there again, but he had a right to tell the truth in his own way! He merely said; in a strained voice, "Five,' tomorrow - it's not a function, is it?" - tap She smiled radiantly, leaning for= ward, her hand' on' the door, to an-, swer. - "Just you=no one else!" - Then she was borne away, and he knew she had no faintest hint of the awful .thing he had to tell her. Sud- denly he wished Fosdick had done it. Fosdick, making his way back to that hive where he had his office, growled to himself like an' angry bear. "I thought better of him than that." he said to himself bitingly. "Assum- ed name -making love to a girl! Al- ways 'thought him guilty, but he was a boy and the aid man may, have been provoking; was ,mighty provoking sometimes. Now he's a man -no ex- cuse at all!" he poudered, taking a nickel. from 'his pocket to open the turnstile of the subway. He shot it in viciously. "I ought to 'tell Burle- son; she's his niece." • Later, struggling out of the jam at Wall Street, 'he added to this his on - 4.35 4.40 4.49 4,58 5.09 5.21 5.32 9.45 A.M. 8.20 P.M. 12.04 12.15 12.28 12.39 12:47 12.54 1.00 OR abut it or. not. "He came here tq: get his aunt's money; you .remem- ber she left him about twenty thou, Band --more or less." Burleson shook hie, head; he had *lifted his chair a little and lay 'ba'ck in it now, thinking. • "He hasn't thought of claiming Bar- ton's money yet, has he?" "He says he wonst until he's clear= ed," Fosdick's smile, widened. "Cleared?" Burleson did not, smile. "The deuce! Does he expect to clear himself after fifteen years?" "He probably knows • he can't be cleared at all," Fosdick replied af- fably, "and he's talking bluff!" "But he hasn't .tried to get that money," Budleson persisted. "Oh, he will!" Fosdick retorted' test- ily; "of course he will!" There was a long pause and then Burleson said flatly:' "I think he should, have it." . Fosdick looked at him thoughtfully, something like a 'twinkle in his eye. "I didn't know you liked him. You testified against him, Burleson." "That's neither here nor there," said the great man bluntly; "he was seventeen, wasn't he? What's he like now,?" Fosdick considered, "He's big, good looking; got a snap to Ma7n. You v; ouldn',t know .him. I advised him to go West." Burleson nodded. It seemed to Fos- dick that he had aged lately; he was less erect, less keen. "The West is the best place for him; he can live it down "out there. Fifteen years, isn't -..it.? By Jove!" Burleson drew a long breath, "it's a slice out of .any man's life!" Burleson swung back in -his chair, staring out of .the window. "Look here," he said slowly, "if he needs a little help -you understand? A fresh: start. I don't, want my name used, but I'll give it to him." . Fosdick stared. Then he laughed , dryly. "Would you like to see „him at your house?" he asked maliciously; a perverse imp had, so far, kept him silent. It was amusing to imagine the great man's surprise. • "At my house?" Burleson frowned. "No! What do you mean by that?'' "You wouldn't knew him if he came -that's all," Fosdick replied coolly, "especially if she changed his name." Burleson nodded. "Is he 'consider- ing onsider-ing that?" "Decidedly," Fosdick laughed; "I think he's done it already." "Well,' I don't know as I'd blame him for that either!" He glanced out of the window again, absently, It. was plain that his mind was prepar- ing to exclude Fosdick. "When you get those shares Dome up and we'll talk it over. I may buy a few more," he said; shortly, reverting to their previous 'business. Fosdick'rose; he understood his -dis- missal. Suddenly he made up his mind not to tell Burleson about Mark yet. But he stopped at the door to 'send a shaft back. "You'll have to get someone else to help you out with Grant -if you want to start him -I've always believed him °'Itve been chasing you half a block, Ualhle Herbert!" ly relenting comment, "She's' pretty enough to 'make a fool of any boy!" He suddenly decided to go down to the great Trust Company building where Burleson held sway. Fosdick had been doing a little business for him, and Burleson bad telephoned several times for him to come over and close it up. Fosdick recollected that he,could go there now. He reach- ed the magnate after waiting half an hour, in a luxurious anteroom.' Burleson was affable; he wanted to see hip , ,he said, about the Grant Barton' -estate. Fosdick almost laugh- ed; he had come about Mark Grant. For fifteen years the executors had lr,eld the Barton money in trust; the only heir was 111 jail,„ Burleson, re- calling some details about it now, locked across the table at his col- league. "Isn't it near time for that boy to be -out?" he asked suddenly. • • Fosdick's dry grin conveyed noth- ing -it was tqo cat=like in its whisker- ed grayness. "He's out." " Burleson was perceptibly startled. "Since when?" "Four or five weeks, I think -may- be xn'ore." Posdick .drummed on the table with ,his Angers; he was copsidr eying wtbether he would tell Burleson t,„5 5.°a, guilty, you know." Burleson frowned slightly. "That shouldn't,, keep •y'ou from being fair," be card +virus "it was unpremedi- tbe the''S: e.�,.�r runished." g oadick grinned"; the two old men were ,fairly matched, but the lawyer was the keener' of the two; he saw that Burleson was nettled. "Any of your clerks can send opt a cheque," he said, "or -shall I send Mark to see you?" "Confound you!" said Burleson, sharply, "you get ou.t or I'll break your neck!" Fosdick went, cackling. -His mirth pricked the magnate like a pin. He knew that his offer to help the ex -con- vict was in the nature of a magnifi- cent gesture. Fosdick laughed at him; he though.t he was posing! Burleson, rose from his seat and star- ed out of the window. It was begin- ning to spit snow. He summoned his secretary, gave a few "sharp orders and left his office. When he reached the street he dismissed his car; he wanted to walk home,* It .had been a custom of his in bygone yeat'd. The whim took him again; his doctors had recently warned hini that he was "sitting out his life." He began to walk steadily uptown and the dash of snow in the air invigorated him: "It's rotten to be, shut 11p; in padded offices all' the time!" hetlbought, and then, abruptly; :recalls "llhe old gray nese bf Fosdick, he thought of Mark. Seventeen when he was sent to pris- on! Brieson tapped the pavement sharp- ly with his Walking-stiek as be went along; he wanted to - rap Fosdick's head for recalling the case too vivid- ly.,,, It was true that the had testified against the boy --a routine witness, no more, but the scenes in the court room came back to him. He shook the mood off; he was not well; he new it; he tried to fasten his mind on that deal he meant ,to make; it ought to net about four mil'lion's more. The crowds were thinning a little now; as he made his way uptown, but shill they 'hemmed him in and he felt that singular loneliness' which assails the wayfarer in a city throng. He was an old man, and 'his wife and his children were long since dead; it seemed to him, sonietimes, • that a, singular ill Lusk, in that respect, had pursued him. He had lost three sous. He had no heir; he had made up his' mind to leave his estate, the major part of it, to Pam. She was' not a blood relation; 'only his wife's niece,. but the girl had crept'into his heart. and softened it;• she was the only one for whom he felt real tenderness; the only one for whom: he would have made a sacrifice. He Kae progressing steadily, his grim face, set ' in its stern lines, :his thin shoulders atooping under his heavy; fur -lined coat -a rich old man without health, without a family!_ The irony of it, of his accumulated wealth and his childlessness, often assailed him. Someone brushed against him in the crowd, laughed saucily and caught his sleeve. It was Pam herself. ',Tye been chasing you half a block, Uncle Herbert!" she panted. • His face softened; he was often amazed -at his own weakness for 'this girl; he drew her hand through his arm. "You ought to go home, miss; it's going to snow hard!" His tone to her was always kind, different; she knew it -a sour, hot tempered old man, too! ;the laughed, . , ."I love snow! I've been out with Aunt Lynn -you know what that, means!" "A-socilly conducted journey, eh?" he smiled . grimly. "You're a little rebel, ,Pam." "Uncle Herbert, I wish you'd tell Aunt Lynn that I'm old enough to go where I please and -and Archie Lan- don 'hasn't .any business .to dictate about my friends!" "So Landon meddles, .does he? I thought the boy had more sense." "He hasn't any! In the .first place, he 'brought a friend of his to the house' Then he talks to Aunt Lynn because• I lunched with his guest to- day -if you please!" "I see! You've been. lunching . out with a man and got into trouble with your aunt. That's it, isn't it? ' "I've got a right to lunch with any- one, haven't IY" Pam tossed'her head -then she laughed'. "You see, the trouble is I "can't be sly -someone al- ways sees me! Archie Landon saw me today; so dick that hateful old Fos- dick of yours!" Burleson looked down at the charm- ing, flushed face critically. - "Fosdick didn't talk, young lady; he's just been to my office. Old men are wis- er than young ones, after all!" "I Wouldn't care a pin for Landon," said 'Pam hotly, ".only it's mean -he brought the man himself." "Who's the man?'a Pam 'blushed furiously; for the twentieth part of a second she hesi- tated; she hada terrible remembrance of Fosdick's "Byram," and Mark's re- ply. • But she had no hint of its real significance. "It's Stewart Byram. Don't you re- member him at dinner that time, Uncle Herbert? 'The tall fellow with -with the different look?" "I seem td remember quite a num- ber of tall' .fellows with different looks," Burleson replied, musing. Pam laughed uneasily. "Oh, you no- ticed him! ' I .saw that myself. He's --he's not like anybody else." Burleson glanced down* at. her quickly and caught only the sweep of her thick laihes on a red cheek. "Come to think of It, I do remem- ber the man you mean," he admitted slowly; it occurred to him that it was the one whose„face recalled something forgotten. It had veen vaguely fam- iliar.

In the spring one turns naturally to gardening. Dig- ging in the soil, sowing seeds' and watching plants develop, provides a welcome relief from the worries. of our .modern life'‘nd will be particular- ly appreciated in this eventful year, when tension was never greater, and when many of our, normal recreations may be no longer possible. Our Seed Supply Seed supplies, are not going to be too plentiful this year, but used care- fully and ordered early, authorities are confident that there will be suf- ficient to go round and even to meet the demand created by the hundreds of thousands of extra war gardens planned in Canada. Before the war, seeds for Canadian gard'ene. came from almost every part of the world. Denmark, Holland, Bel- gium, Hungary, England, California, and our own British Columbia ,were famous. producers. But , far. certain specialties it was necessary' to go much farther afield. North Africa, New Zealand, France, Germany 'and Japan contributed certain lines. In` some eases the trade was direct, in others foundation stock only was im- ported. The trade was largely in the hands of experts, who knew from long experience just what would suit Can- ada's climate. Naturally the war has completely upset all this. Instead of importing seeds from Great Britain, that coun- try has been asking Canada and the United States to send her everything! possible, especially ip.. the .vegetable seed line. Russia, 'too, is asking for huge supplies. Most of the old .regu lar supplies are out. From Canadian and United States sources must come practically all of our garden seed 91 eupph for tills gilingt 40 las an a►oth COP -1A4. anti .ff#0 it# 4• the. weather 'wins Ura). tut, production.

Consumption, dile to great , I fl w, ly increased employment in the war factories, has been going ahead by leaps and bounds, and the market gar- dens on the outskirts of the big ,cities are getting smaller beause it is so difficult to get help and machinery. A' Honey Crop Four things are` essential for the production of a honey crop: 1. An abundance of nectar secreting flora. 2. Suitable weather for the secre- tion and ingathering of the nectar. 3. Strong colonies of bees of the right age. 4. Efficient management of the col- onies. The beekeeper has some control ov- er the first "essential in that he may select a location in which there is a plentiful supply of major nectar se- creting plants within a radius of two miles of the apiary. .. an some cases he may even improve. a poor location by scattering seeds' of such plants as sweet clover, or other clovers on vac- ant ground, says• C. B. Gooderham, Do- minion Apiarist, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. The second factor is entirely beyond• the beekeeper's con- trol, but it is this element of chance for a lucky break from Dame Nature that makes beekeeping so, interesting. Items three and four are altogether under control of the beekeeper. While It is true - that many colonies will carne through the winter in a weak- ened condition that is no reason why they should continue as such through the summer. Unite all weak colonies to those of 'medium strength and re- place all weak or failing queens- as soon as weather permits.
