Landon, a pro- duct of social conventions, a dandy of the ballroom, but fully determined to marry Pam, the heiress, had never dreamed of making love to her with eyes that had the kindling flash of Mark's. He could' not. He had not the power or the will of a man who had suffered. Destiny had cast Mark into a "Eery crucible, he •had 'come out of it sbmetli:Ihg -of a 'pagan, but the pagan in him- was clean and strong.

Landon choked down his anger without accusing her of''being in love with that "wagerefellow," as Teddy Banks had called Mark, but, none' the less, he knew rhe was, and he vowed vengeance -not on her, but on the man. ' He had' been. in 'this state of mind when Teddy broke in on 'him with his shocking revelation. Landon felt like shouting; it was a fearful thing to introduce him, but he could lose no more by that than he had al- ready. He had lost Pam! Very well, then; she would know before the sun set that she had to giy4 up her con- vict! Landon, sitting tight in the jump- ing taxi, laughed bitterly, with a kind of ghoulish joy. It was not until the vehicle stopped at the door of a dingy brown -stone front, that it occurred to him to be afraid of the consequence • physically. He remembered sud- denly the terrible grip ' of Mark's. hands in the smoking room; 'but not,. even that could deter him; -he was at a white heat. "The convict!" he thought, "the murderer -making love to her!" Jealousy and something deeper, a kind Of `brute fury, carne¢ him•up the; steps to the door. But be Met only, isappoitntment.

Two factors determine the time to plants -tithe conditionOf the soil and the `hardiness • of •whatev'eris benne planted. **TO stress the eutrexge imiMx-,tine of the' first point .'Which. they eny, '•i$, very often ignored by i`the. over -eager 'beginner. If soil is dug too soon, while it is still very moist, the work of cultivation is often alou- d- 'bled -or trebled and injury •to the crops planted, is serious. Heavy soil will almost invariably form into hard luihps that may require almost an ase to break them up. The easy test to- determine when tire soil is ready is to walk across it. If it is muddy and sticks tight to the shoes, then it is beat to allow it to dry out some more. If it merely 'presses • down . and crumbles . when handled ,and brushes off shoes easily, then it Is right. This is the old test of the practical gardener. - Depends- on Hardiness will -be amazed how muclr, ,better is 'rfu, .gl� before 0.94.g.v, from st gas pass ' •3!1ur#e (.

Vegetables For Health This year Canadians are going to appreciate fresh vegetables fore than for many years. None too many kinds are now available in cans, and with help getting scarcer professional market gardeners are not expected to. raise as clue -Ivor these crops as usual while deinan, of course, is. steadily in- creasing.

Landon, a pro- duct of social conventions, a dandy of the ballroom, but fully determined to marry Pam, the heiress, had never dreamed of making love to her with eyes that had the kindling flash of Mark's. He could' not. He had not the power or the will of a man who had suffered.

' He had' been. in 'this state of mind when Teddy broke in on 'him with his shocking revelation.

Very well, then; she would know before the sun set that she had to giy4 up her con- vict! Landon, sitting tight in the jump- ing taxi, laughed bitterly, with a kind of ghoulish joy.

Two factors determine the time to plants -tithe conditionOf the soil and the `hardiness • of •whatev'eris benne planted. **TO stress the eutrexge imiMx-,tine of the' first point .'Which. they eny, '•i$, very often ignored by i`the. over -eager 'beginner. If soil is dug too soon, while it is still very moist, the work of cultivation is often alou- d- 'bled -or trebled and injury •to the crops planted, is serious. Heavy soil will almost invariably form into hard luihps that may require almost an ase to break them up. The easy test to- determine when tire soil is ready is to walk across it. If it is muddy and sticks tight to the shoes, then it is beat to allow it to dry out some more. If it merely 'presses • down . and crumbles . when handled ,and brushes off shoes easily, then it Is right.
