"Mr. Lacy" he exclaimed, Il am so
glad to see you"
"Why?" asked Lacy.
why" retorted the other, because
now you will pay me for the mandolin
you bought from me about month
ago"
Lacy laughed.
You will pay me, won't you?" cried
the dealer, Historically. "You wouldn't
rob poor man, would you?"
Fade away" said the versatile
rogue. I'm havin' me holiday now,
and l can't be disturbed by vulgar
tradesmen.'
Lacy Immediately realized the mis-
take he had made and, learning the
character Of the telegram that had
been sent to Scotland Yard, made
quick preparations for shortening his
vacation at the coy seashore resort.
He acted with characteristic disregard
of conventionalities. He summoned q
| fisherman and hired him to take him
tie liner which was bound for South
Africa. BY the aid of a clever "cock
and bull story" he induced the cap
tain to take him aboard and before
the Scotland Yard man reached Mar
gate Lacy was calmly sailing the sea
on his way to Cape Town.
Superintendent Froest Immediately
telegraphed to the authorities at Cape
Town, describing Lacy, and instruct.
ing them to apprehend the man on his
arrival at that port. Lacy managed tc
get ashore and strolled about the AT
rican city, admiring the botanic gar
dens and the astronomical observatory
with the enthusiasm of a tourist
whose only desire is to prOfitably
while away an idle hour. He was in
speeding the fine new docks Of the
place when the agent of Scotland
Yard clapped his hand on his shoulder
and placed him under arrest. Lacy
submitted with perfect good grace ant
was formally lodged in Jail at Cape
Town. Arrangements were made tt
have him returned to England the fol
lowing day.
But, alas! his satisfaction was pre-
mature, for the daring Lacy jumped
off the train while it was in motion
and disappeared in the depths of ;
South African forest. The officer ha,

and. with the assistance of severa

National Apple Show.

At the National Apple show which
has just closed at Spokane, Wash,
prizes were awarded to exhibitors
from various parts-of the United States
and Canada. Exhibits from the east
ern and southern states were spoiled
in transit and were not put on exhibi
ton. Apples of all sizes and varieties
were exhibited in the highest state OF
perfection, and with all the advantages
which expert packing can produce. In
addition to the fruit exhibits, there
were demonstrations in spraying
packing and measuring machines

VALUE OF CULTIVATION.
Shown by Investigations Of Certain
New York state Orchards.

The experienced orchardist does
not have to be told that it pays better
to keep his orchard under cultivation
than in sod, but not so with many
orchard owners, who persist in trying
to raise two good crops on the same
SOIL This of course cannot be accom-
plished to advantage and the sooner
the farmer and small grower find it
out and manage the operations accord
ingly the better it will be from
prof1t-making standpoint. The New
York experiment station has recently
completed an orchard survey of one of
the counties of the state which pre-
sents some interesting and significant
data with regard to the value of cult
walton.
The results show that orchards titled
ten years or more yielded 1927 BUSH
els per acre with an income of 1882;
those titled five years or more yielded
274 bushels, with an income of $133;
those titled over half of five years 225
bushels, with an income Of $113.
Sod treatment for over half of five
years yielded 222 bushels, with an in
come of SLOT; sod five years or more
yielded 204 bushels, with an income of
$108; sod ten years or more yielded
176 bushels, with an income of $87.
Computations taken from the above
records show that the flve-year aver
age yields of orchards that have been
titled ten years is Sc per cent. larger
than that of those that have been in
sod ten years or more, and those titled
five years gave "a per cent. better re-
suits than those in sod for five years.
These figures include all orchards
examined. AS most titled orchards
are accorded better attention than the
ones left in sod there is a greater
difference in favor of tillage. Because
of this fact the station makes Sec
ond report of results found in which
the neglected orchards are not consid-
cred. Under this kind of consideration
orchards titled ten years or more
yielded 1877 bushels, with an income of
$3.50; titled over five years yielded 296
bushels, with an income of $148;
titled over half of five years, yielded
234 bushels, with an income of 1921.
Sod over half of five years yielded
242 bushels, with an income of $118;
sod over five years or more yielded
25S bushels, with an income of 1884;
sod ten years or more yielded 232
bushels, with an income of SLY.

ABOUT ORCHARD TREATMENT.
Which Is Bcst-CIean Culture or Sod
Culture?

There is considerable interest in
the minds of fruit growers about the
question regarding the comparative
value of the two systems of orchard
treatment, clean culture and sod cul-
ture. Some very careful experiments
under the supervision of the state sta
tons, especially in Ohio and New
York, have been conducted. And there
are some practical fruit growers CIV
ing these plans the test of actual
trial in business way. So far there
have been some rather conclusive re-
suits that others would do we'll to OBJ
serve.
One of these is that on steep land
it is very hazardous and often very
wasteful of the fertility of the soil to
practice clean culture. The waste by
wash is too great. In such cases there
can and should be some method of
culture used that will prevent the soil
waste, and only strips should be cul-
tivated at most. These can be al
ternated so as to have the soil loose
from tillage between rows running
parallel with the slope, and In the
rows a grass mulch, declares Prof
! Van Deman, in Orange Judd Farmer
BY this | mean that the grass, weeds,
ETC., be moved and forked under the
branches of the trees to serve as a
mulch. BY growing cowpeas in the in
terspaces and letting the crop rot on
the ground, or pasturing it down by
hogs, much fertility (nitrogen) may
be added to the soil at almost no ex
pense. If potash in the form of muir
ate or sulphate, and phosphorus in
some of the preparations of bone OF
rock phosphate, are applied literally
there should be no difficulty in keep
ing the soil rich.

ried a heavy cane and had sunburst

of blood-red cravat-in fact, he
looked too vulgarly rich to be true.
Wilkie consulted the hotel register
and found that his erstwhile criminal
friend had registered as Frank Lacy.
The change of attire and the assumed
name were suspicious and the Ameri-
can lost no time in going to the tele-
phone and calling up Frank Froest,
one of the brightest detectives in
Scotland Yard. Wilkie told Froest
that it might be worth his while to
come up to Lows and have look at
the latest addition to the American
invasion of London.

Club Root of Cabbaues.

Club root of cabbage is one of the
most annoying yet easily controlled
diseases. To be on the safe side cab
bage plants should be started in soil
which has not been previously used for
cabbage culture. A field in which the
disease is found should for several
years be kept free of cabbage, turnip
kale, wild mustard, etc., since the
fungus winters over in the soil and
thrives on any plants of the brassica
family.

Frank Macy, the doubtful hero of
this queer story, was born at Freeport,
Ill. There are many old residents In
that place who still recall him as a
precocious baby, a smart boy, and a
clever youth. Freeport soon proved to
be too small to satisfy his bullying
genius, but even before he left his
birthplace he made little excursions
from the paths of virtue which, in the
boy, are SO often prophetic of the
mans career. When he reached mans
estate he was tall and as straight as
an Indian. He had coal-black hair and
a sallow complexion, which lighted up
brightly whenever he was in humor
to be affable with his fellow-man.
1t was in Chicago that Frank Macy
first distinguished himself in crime. A
