Harry paused moment, looking for

We'll, if you can imagine one need
lie with two very large eyes, you'd get
some idea of her. She's sharp, moth
er-mind and body. Pleasant enough,
though. She's coming to see you, so
you needn't bother to go up" He
added with an air of Impotence.
She's been hunting in the peerage"
"Of course she would; there's moth
ing in that"
No. | suppose not" he admitted,
almost reluctantly.

Lady Tristram and her son as Grim
inals, in contemplation, if not in ac
ton. And so considered, they afford
ed excellent specimens of two kinds
of criminals which study of assize
courts reveals, the criminal who
drifts and the criminal who plans;
the former usually termed by council

sternly dubbed dangerous" Lady
Tristram had always drifted and was
drifting still; Harry had begun tc

One result of this difference was that

very evening. as soon as he was ou

ton were out of the mind of the WON
an who had brought both him and il
into existence.
So Lady Tristram went back to hel

CHAPTER Nv.
She Could and She Would.


In spite of Mrs. Iver's secret opinion
that people with strange names were
likely to be strange themselves, an
acquaintance was soon made between
Fairholme and Merton lodge. Her
family was against Mrs. liver; her
husband was boundlessly hospitable.
jamie was very sociable. Mr.. liver be-
gan to teach the major to play golf.
jamie took Nina Babriska out driving
in the highest dogcart on the country
side; they would go along the road
by the river and get out perhaps for
wander by the pool, or even drive
higher up the valley and demand tea
from Bob Broadley at his pleasant lit
tie place, half farm. half manor house,
at Mingham, three miles above the
pool. Matters moved so quick that
Nina understood in week why JAMIE
found it pleasant to have a compan-
ion under whose aegis she could drop
in at Mingham; in little more than
a fortnight she began to understand
why her very youthful uncle (the ma
jor was very young now grunted that
the road to Mingham was the pretti-
est in the neighborhood. The Imp
was accommodating other peoples Sc
crets, and was accordingly in a state
of high satisfaction.
The situation developed fast; and
for the time at least jamie liver was
heroine and held the center of the
stage. A chance of that state of COM
fort which was his remaining and
modest ambition and opened before the
major-and the possibility of sharing
it with a congenial partner; the ma
jor wasted no time in opening his
campaign. Overtures from Blent,
more stately, but none the less
prompt, showed that Harry Tristram
had not spoken idly to his mother.
And what about Bob Broadley? He
seemed to be out of the running and
indeed to have little inclination, or not
enough courage to press forward.
Nina was puzzled. She began to OBJ.
serve the currents in the Fairholme
household. Iver was for Harry she
thought, though he maintained a dig
nified show of Indifference; Mrs. liver
the miraculous occurring in fort
night as it often does-was at least
very much taken with the major Bob
Broadley had no friend. unless in
jamie herself. And jamie was in
scrutable, by virtue of an open pleas
ure in the attention or all the gentle
men and an obvious Discrimination to
devote herself exclusively to any one
of them. She could not flirt with
Harry Tristram because he had no
knowledge of the art, but she accept
ed his significant civilities. She did
flilt with the major, who had many
years experience of the pastime. And
she was kind to Bob Broadley, going
to see him, as has been said, sending
him invitations and seeming in some
way to be fighting against his own
readiness to give UP the battle before
it was we'll begun. But it is hard to
help man who will not help himself;
on the other hand, it is said to be
amusing sometimes.
They all met at Fairholme one at
ternoon, Harry appearing unexpect-
edlyl as the rest We're at tea on the
lawn. This was his first meeting with
the major. AS he greeted that gentle

The First Round.

Within the last few days there were
ominous rumors atloat as to the Lady
Tristram's health. 1t was known that
she could see nobody and kept her
room; it was reported that the doc
tors Ga specialist had been down from
town. were looking very grave. 1t
was feared that her constitution had
not the strength to support prolong-
ed strain. There was sympathy-the
neighborhood was proud in it's way of
Lady Tristram-and there was the
usual prospect Of death and sue
cession gives rise.
Harry Tristram was sorry that his
mother must die and that he must
lose her; the confederates had be-
come close friends, and nobody who
knew her intimately could help feel
ing that his life and even the world
would be poorer by the loss of real,

How CLOVES ARE GATHERED
More cloves are said to be used in
America than in any other country,
England and France following in
the order named. In this country
aud in Great Britain they are used
almost wholly as q condiment, but
in France they are used largely in
the manufacture OF certain liquors.
To some degree they are employed
in medicine for their tonic proper
ties.
The name Glove is from the
French clou, meaning q nail. The
tree is an evergreen, growing from
forty to fifty feet high, with large
oblong leaves and crimson flowers
at the end of small branches in
clusters of from ten to twenty.
The tree belongs to the same family
as the guava, the pomegranate and
the rose apple. The cloves are at
first white. then light green. and
at the time of gathering bright red.
Pieces Of white cloth are spread
under the trees ct harvesting time,
and the branches are beaten gently
with bamboo sticks until the cloves
drop. They are dried in the sun,
being tossed about daily until they
attain the rich dark color which
proclaim them ready for shipment.
A Glove tree begins to bear at the
age of about ten years, and contin-
ues until it reaches the age of sew
enty. five years. There are two
crops a year, one in June and the
other in December. Hot weather
10 favorable to the crop, although a
little fog is said to improve the
flavor.

"But you ought not to sit on such

Fun With Mr.. German.


Not long ago . rather prominent
politician from the middle West
vas in Washington. He had heard
of German for years and wanted to
meet him. One day the opportuni-
tY presented itself and an introduc-
ton followed. The two were left
together, and then the visitor tried
to draw the Maryland boss ont on
various questions Of public interest
not abruptly or with view to
making any use of what might be
said, but more through curiosity TO
know the German opinion than
anything else. German retired in
to his hole, ss usual. The visitor
was uettled and made up his mind
to force the fighting.
"By the way, Mr.. German, he
said, "whst are your initials ?"
"My name is Arthur Pue Cor
man, SIR" was the reply.
"Oh, yes, and I believe you are
from Virginia, or is it North Caro-
lima ?"

Spouse, German beginning to be a

"What was your party, Mr.. Cor.

were you not ?"
This was too much. German
grew ready to utter q volley OF
high explosives, but as he turned
to face his visitor he saw a merry
twinkle in the callers eye. The
Westerner had been guying him
and he was just finding it out. II

that paper on the subject Of farm
