CHAPTER xLHI.
The Shaver Slain,

Ast.Hf Tie SSdyCf oldtIi
James Kahn had been murdered -
KILLED at least. For the view of the
Inspector there was no doubt as to the
motive. Kahn had robbed his master,
and had himself been robbed in turn.
He had promised his confederate
share, and had made off while Casimir
was taking the letter to Jacob Romer,
which was designed to keep all quiet
for twenty-four hours. With the speed
at their disposal two automobiles to
their hand, and the tug waiting for
them within the Isles of Fleet they
had nothing to fear.
Still this did not explain all the
facts. Why had Kahn. if he wished
to deceive an accomplice with a ma
ture SO distrustful, leave his fight so
late? He could easily have gone off
during the night, leaving Casimir to
deliver the letter and bear the brunt.
An excuse for departure could easily
have been found Nor was it suffi-

The correspondent referred to be- lieving that a forest cover on bare hillsides would make the locality more attractive, has commenced planting a great variety of trees from Australia and elsewhere. All trees are planted in the winter after the firstr aims have soaked the ground. Some of the trees are never given any water by irriga- tiOn. Others are with great difficulty, on account of poor water facilities. carried through the first year under irrigation. Those that stand the first test are accounted as entirely suitable. Those that survive a second year with out water, after irrigation the first year, are accounted possibilities; but if they do not. they are considered en- tirely unsuitable. The red gum, rudis, sugar gum, blackwOod acacia, pepper and Monterey pines best survive the first test. though the growth is small as compared to what it would be with some watering. There are a number of varieties, especially among the eu- calyptus and acacias, which pass the second test. The red gum, sugar gum ard Monterey pine are the best and fastest growers also under more fav- orable though still hard conditions.

COAST EXPERIMENTS
 IN TREE FLAMING
The Effect Has Been the Reclamation
 Of Much Valuable Land.

Southern California has always talk en a keen interest in tree planting. The result has been not only the re- clamation of much land not suited for agriculture, but also the Ornamentation of many ranch homes on the vast stretches of rich irrigated valleys.
 Some interesting experiments in planting have just been reported by a correspondent of the United States Forest Service in Southern California He owns about twelve acres of hill- side land two miles from the coast. The climatic conditions are very un- favorable for tree growth,--the scant rainfall of eight inches or less, falls mostly during the winter months, while the summer,-the growing sea son for deciduous trees-is without rain. The soil is poor and rocky, with hardpan eighteen inches below the surface.
 Under these conditions. only trees as eucalypus, conifers and the most trough resistant hardwoods may be planted with prospect of ultimate sue cess, and trees which grow naturally in semi-arid regions are to be prefer red.
