The new law provides that spe-
cial tax shall be levied in each coun-
ty by the board of county commits
sioners to be known as the "Horti-
cultural tax" and shall be set apart
in the state treasury as the district
horticultural fund" to be applied to
each respective district that raised
the money for the expenses of horti-
cultural inspection. This money can
not be used for inspection purposes
in any other district. While the dis
trict raises the money by taxation
the board of county commissioners
in the respective districts have moth
ing to say as to who shall perform
the inspection. The law provides
that the state commissioner of horti-
culture shall appoint an inspector
for each district.
May Transfer Inspectors.
If assistants are necessary the
commissioner, with the consent of
the board of county commissioners,
may authorize the district horticultu-
raj inspector Of the district to employ
suhc assistants as in the judgment
of the commissioner and county COM
missioners may be necessary.
Another section of the law gives
the commissioner of horticulture
power to transfer district inspectors
from one district to another tempo
rarily, at such times as he may deem
necessary to properly transact the
business required Of such inspectors.
While the county commissioners
are ostensibly given a voice in the
matter, assistants for other districts
may be assigned to duty In their
district without their consent or ap-
proval and the county must pay the
bill. If the county commissioners
and the state commissioner Of horti-
culture do not agree on appoint
ments, the state commissioner as
sumes absolute control and jurisdic-
tion anyway, and the district in
which the county is located pays the
bill just the same

Paris, June 12.-According to
later advices from the south of

masonry and in a few instances to
shake down houses. Thousands of
people slept last night on the streets
and aboard boats. The shocks were
followed by violent hail storms.
Marseilles, June 1.-THE earth
quake last night was the most severe

CHAPTER xI.

I Contains Much That Is Exciting "Stop here a moment and give me light" I whispered to Cough, who had not noticed that we were followed. '1 want this man behind us to pass.'' He brought himself up quickly. took out his matchbox and. striking a vesta. held it to my cigar. He halted so quickly that the man jogging our footsteps was bound to proceed in our diection. and so go ahead of us-
 As. he passed he pretended to take no notice of us. But I recognized his face I had seen him in the booking office at Ludgate Hill station. and again upon the platform. I noticed that he had once peered inauisitively into my face. but at that time took no notice of the incident. The truth was. alas! too plain. The police had put a watch upon my chambers in St. Martins lane. expecting me to go forth and meet my friend. I had therefore unwittingly betrayed him in to their hands!
 Granny looked sharply at the reced- ing figure, and asked me the reason had halted.
 I raised my finger in a gesture in- dicative of silence Just where we stood the road descending to Lordship Lane station took a sudden bend be- fore it joined Wood Vale. and around that bend the detective was conpea3ed to go. He. Of course, was in ignorance that I had recognized him.
 sThe instant he had disappeared gripped Granny's arm and entered the graveled drive of the large house oppo-
 
 ran over the lawn -noiselessly to the rear of the premises. regardless of any dogs which might be there. followed closely by Granny. who had now scented danger
 We found ourselves in a large slop- ing garden with big. old-fashioned trees and a wide stretch of grass. Across this we passed quickly. with out a word: then through a flower garden. at the bottom of which was coschman's house. Here we feared the presence of a dog which might give the alarm. and scarcely had the idea crossed my ,nind than we heard the warning bark of a large collie close | to us. Fortunately. however. it was chained to its kennel. so therefore we crept forward again until we came to boundary fence. over which we clambered. finding ourselves in another garden of still larger dimensions Whither were going knew not. To avoid the watcher I had made a | sudden dash for it. believing that if | we got behind the houses of Syden- ham Hill we could effectually escape him.
 We paused. and in breathless anxie- | ty listened. The collie still gave tongue. but we heard nothing more, save the distant sound of a train away in the dull red glow that showed where giant London lay.
 | By love, A sclose shave Philr' gasped my friend. That fellow was a detective, .believe!''
 "Yes. he was. He's been following me ever since I left Talbot House. z l This was q smart move of vours

who sent you the wire this morning He gave you warning. although he is supposed to be assisting the police to identify you.''
 Then. by love! he's a real brick!' cried Granny. and he handed me a cigar and took one himself.
 You did him rood turn once. and he remembers it.
 "Oh. that was nothing. He was in trouble in Vienna. and I got him out of it by bit of sharp practice. That's long ago. thought he'd forgotten it.''
 Then he's a crook-er?''
 "Of course.' laughed my friend. "Used to work the boats between Liv- erpool and New York till the game grew too warm. After that he took to handling sparklers. and he and his friends handled them to the tune of a good many thousands. They got the Duchess of Montalto's jewels from the villa at Beaullieu about eighteen months ago. You recollect the fuss. Old Jacobsen. in the Kerk Straat in Amsterdam had them. and their late owner wouldn't know them now-you bet. Six of them divided up twenty two thousand pounds over that little affair. They have flat in the Rue | had six months ago. I've stayed there when I've been hard up. The men are ball Englishmen. One of them is Jal- Ian. who came out of Portland two yeaPs ago. after doing a stretch for the tCastleton forgery
 "A nice little company. I should fancy
 "Yes. A pretty tough crowd-an of them linguists. and all experts in their particular departments Then why is Winch over here to identify you?''
 That's the confounded mystery of it. Looks as though he'd turned mark but yet know him far too well for that. He's still a friend. or he wouldn't have sent that wire. I clear ed out at once. of course. not knowing what had happened.''
 "And you must clear out. still fur ther afield. Granny-alid tonight I'm entirely in your hands," he said. "but beg of you to do me one favor. When we part now we-well, we might not meet again, you know. If not, promise me you will never let little Gertie Know the truth, nor Myra either. I'll die game. and I'll die hon. orably if you will not give me away" | sI shall never do that Granny" said. and again his hand sought mine and gripped it in grateful acknowledg- ment. as a lump arose in his thoat. We had arrived near the bottom of Sydenham Hill. where the light of Lordship Lane Station showed below us. and were deep in discussion as to
 whether he should go into hiding. He wished to be near London, and in
 touch with myself. butsI dissented. I
 urged him to go into the heart of the country. wear gold-rimmed spectac1es, and lead quiet. studious life. which would put people off the scent. It would be rest from the strenuous existence he led. Suddenly. as we were in earnest con- versation, my ear caught the sound of
 a footsten behind us and I turned sharply. to catch sight of a rather tall
 man in thin.s dark overcoat and bowler hat passing beneath the street lamp. In an instant recognized him. He had travelled from Ludxate Hill in the next compartment to mine. My heart fell.
 That man had been following us ever since we met. Ea
