But even, with this delay, which was due to almost continuous rains, there is still time to ,produce a lot of vegetables unless the, elements continue to. be against man for the whole sunimer. As a matter of fact, -a great many plants do not make any real growth until weather and soil begin to warm up and throughout most of the Do- minion this meanearly June, any- way. •There are some exceptions, of course, but vegetables like beans, cabbage cucumbers, tomatoes, corn,' etc., -planted out in early June will often catch up and may even pass those put in weeks before,. -especially if May has been cold and wet. This,. month, with its long hours of sun- light, growth is amazingly rapid, and of course rapid, unchecked growth is the real secret of ten.dernese in vege- tables. Moreover, even in those favored ar- eas where first sowings were made weeks ago, there is still time, and the experts, advise' 'them for several more plantings of beans, beets, car- rots, -corn, lettuce, etc., to ensure a continuous ^ fresh ,supply through the late summer. And as peppers, squash and such, this is about the ideal time to plant or set outside in most parts of Canada. • Excellent Authority • The Agricultural Supplies Board at Ottawa has Put out an excellent aud concise Pamphlet No. 75, on the war- time garden. This, will be a great help to all beginners and even to those who have been growing some vegetables for years. A postcard or letter to the Department of Agricul- ture at -Ottawa will bring anyone a copy. The. pamphlet gives full direc- tions covering such perplexing prob- lems as distance between rows for, various vegetables, • time to plant, yields per 50 feet of row, and the' treatment for, the more common dis-' eases. It wifl prove an invaluable ready reference. Summer Care e Early summer care of the vegetable and flower garden largely consists of cultivation, elimination of weeds and spraying/ or dusting -for any insect pests or disease which may show up. • Regular cultivation has many ad- vantages and is advisable in any sea- son, wet or dry. In the'fonier, it • loosens up the soil, lets th the air, prevents sourness and checks weeds growth. The soil, of course, should not be cultivated while still wet and muddy, but it is advisable as soon as possible .after every heavy rain• to prevent ,,drying out and baking.

Timothy makes friends with a new teach- er, Susan 'Barney, and -her young- er slater, Delia. Now Timothy has received a letter from a dis- agreeable trustee of the academy, Mr. Wheaton, palling him to New York. While Timothy is in New York heomeets a, Mrs. Bernstein, who proposes her son Jules for a student. Although Jules had flunked in all his examinations, Timothy decides to give him a trial. When he keeps hisap- pointment with Mr. Wheaton he is told that he has made a big mistake in admitting a Jewish boy as a student. • • Timothy said, through his teeth, "There is nothing we offer our coup - try young people more valuable to them than those two courses. I'd ra- ther cut out Latin and. higher Algee bra." C Mr. Wheaton brought his wrinkled old hand down on the table. "You're Crazy', man! You couldn't prepare for college with those gone." "A good many of our Clifford young people don't go to college." " "That's just the point, T. C., that is -just -the -point Fm always mak- ing.

Not till the June Trustee meeting would he need to s hear Mr. Wheaton's voice again. After the right number of street crossings he mechanically Made the turn at the right corner, but strid- 1 64 awed, to feel, blowing from it as fro the Delphian pit, the authentic 'wi of inspiration. Dizzy, but agonizing in earnest, he told Peck that if tho 'two eld cars could be had as a ba he was sure something could made out Of them at the -Madera Peck was a pool -playing old bachel with no wife to restrain bird froin f lies; he withdrew a few hundred do lars from his savings • account,' bo rowed a little more for linsuranc and went tato the bus business, driving one end Eli the other. The engines were still in fair sha but the bodies and seats were di reputable. ' The older man was wi ing to put the first profits into pai nd denim, and Eli got up eagerly awn, day after day, to scrape, men• paint and patch. Even at their wor the two rickety buses were more co Portable, enclosed as they were, than the open pulpwood trucks in which standing up on zero nights, the teams and a few hardy backers had former ly ridden eo out of town games. With Professor- Hulme to help him Eli worked out a, season ticket plan. . It was filet before the beginning of the midwinter vacation, which that year was the first week in March. Susan was to spend it with Delia who had come on from Boston to join her. They Were to visit • some of their father's over -the -mountain kinsfolk. Aunt Lavinia had asked the girls to spend the evening ,before they. left at the principal's house and had stayed downstairs till they arrived, warming her knees before the fire. Timothy had waited in the hall nor- ner for the callers, his day-old New York newspaper in iris hand, but at the sound of the ,knocker on the front door he had, flung his paper to the floor. "Come on in here by the fire, Del- ia," called Aunt Levine. Timothy hastened to draw .near him a•chair for Sucan. "Do you know, I positively, hate to go away -even for a week! I've had such a • wonderful winter -you can't imagine what you've chine for me." Froin the room beyond theme "Sus- an!". called Aunt Lavinia imperious.- ly. "Come here a minute." She went vibe% Aunt Lavinia call- ed -what else could anyone do? But, sheltered from other eyes in the angle of' the hall corner, she gave Timothy, with" shrugging 'shoulders and a fond smiling grimace, the assurance she left him unwillingly, that here with him was where she fain would be. Glowing and confident, Timothy held up his newspaper to hide • the broadness of his answering -simile- and felt a chilling inner wind blow - ng, as from Arctic ice fields, He saw that he was a fatuousefool to as- ume that the frankly loving ardor in he gray' eyes meant that Susan was a 'woman opening her heart to the men with whom shevas felling, in ove. !although hil pulse was still hatn- . mering in the after effect's of shock, is face was composed enough Ao make it sate for him to lay down the shield of his newspaper, light a cig- arette and sit listening to the dialogue in the next room, once in a while glancing up at the mirror. It show- ed a reflected Delia, absorbed in a book, and Aunt Lavinia sitting weight- ily before the fire, her skirts folded back to expose her knobby wool - stockinged knees to the heat, occas- ionally answering over her shoulder a question asked by Susan. who was' wandering here and there in the room.

'He felt felt for a match, found that his bands, bare to the Arctic cold, were almost too stiff to bend, struck a match, looked at his watch and saw that it was long past ten.

The door of his house was flung open, a man's figure stood in the ob- long of light, a voieg-cried, "Well, Uncle Tim, welcome to our city." Timothy started stiffly up the steps. A tall, loose-jointed man ran down to meet him.
