room.
Everybody rushed thither, and the
marquis, who was in the lead, dimly
saw form escaping through the win
dow into the garden.
This time we've got himI' he cried.
The men seized guns and knives from
hunting rack in the vestibule, and
started across the garden and park in
pursuit of the fugitive, while the wom-
en- barricaded themselves in the salon
and anxiously awaited the result of the
chase.
1t was about an hour later, in the un
certain light which precedes the rising
of the sun, that a servant discovered
the mysterious stranger encsonsed
among the branches of a large oak.
At his call, the marquis and his guests
FASTENED to the spot.
'Come down." commanded M. de
Kerdall but the bandit only settled
himself deeper among the foliage and
made no response.

And, as there was still no reply. he
lifted his gun and already had his
finger upon the trigger, when the do
mestic hurriedly pulled his arm and
said:

NOTES FOR GARDENERS.

MAKING a hot bed is not a very great
task and it advances the season weeks
sometimes, when the spring happens to
be late.
WITu good garden there is health
and variety of food, both very desir-
able, not to speak of the saving IN
household expenses.
PUT an extra coat of soil, or what is
better, coat of coarse manure, over
the potato and turnip pits before more
severe weather comes.
IT does not hurt cabbages that are
buried to freeze once, but if allowed to
freeze and thaw and freeze again, it is
spoiled. After the ridge is frozen
through, cover it with straw and it
will not thaw out until spring.
A WELL KEPT garden is an ornament
to any farm and tells the passing
stranger that the owner is proud Of his
profession and who believes in hav-
ing the comforts of life when they can
be gotten as easily as supply of gar
den stuff can.
If sods are cut into squares foot
each way and placed upside down on a
hot bed or cold frame and seeds planted
in them the plants, when large enough
to transplant, may be lifted with the
sods and set in the garden without
stopping growth. In this way we have
transplanted beans, cucumbers and
many other things that are not usually
transplanted. Springfield (O.) Farm

Upon the entrance of the crowd the
doctor hurriedly wrapped himself in

shone like old ivory.

savagely hurled a white object into the

"And this, continued the doctor,
wildly brandishing another article.

with one final grimace, ducked beneath

mystery was growing more compli-
Gated. 1t certainly looked as though q

Suddenly a strange sound was heard
coming from the ground floor. 1t was
certainly the piano in the reception
salon, but it was surely being played
by goblin fingers, and SO furiously that
il seemed as though the keys would be
broken.
This is too much!' cried the mar
quis, rushing toward the staircase, with
all the crowd, excepting DR.. Cornabuc,
close behind him.
They hastily penetrated the salon.

possible to operate it, is equal to run

SHORT TALKS on ADVERTISING.

copyrighted by Charles Austin Bates)
It is no doubt true that keeping
your name continuously before
the people will pay if You do il
long enough, and nobody else does
any better advertising than that.
I do not believe in generalities.
"All kinds Of staple and fancy gro
ceries"-"A full line of dry goods
and notions" sue things we're
said fifty years ago and some bust
ness men persist in the folly even
now.
All that a general ad. ever does
is to keek your name and business
before people. Now, isn't your
name and business kept before
people just the same or a little
better when you advertise some
special thing or things? 1t surely
is, and besides that you have the
benefit of a direct demand for the
thing advertised. That is, of
course, provided the thing is a
good thing and at a low enough
price to make it strongly desira-
BILE. The way to stir up trade is
to take some item that there is nat
urally a demand for and put a
deeply cut price on it. That will
bring deople to the store and they
will buy other things-at least you
won't lose anything, for many OF
them would not have come without
the extra inducement.
The idea of drawing people with
special offerings is perfectly legit-
innate, even when the only object
is to get them into the store, for
in that way they get acquainted
with the store and the stock, and
if they are all right they will come
again.
There are plenty of times when
special bargains are offered, the
object being merely to sell the
goods quickly, and no thought
being taken of the value of the
sale from the point of Advertising
1t is well to explain why the pric-
es are made lower than usual
