He knew h a he could only get the
mare from those who held her by im-
posing himself pom them, and to do
this after what had happened seemed
impossible. If he was anxious to re-
cover the mare, his anxiety did not rest

could hope for nothing from his per-

He brooded long over the matter and
at length hit on a plan, promising,
though distasteful. He called Bale and
made inquiries through hat t~aciturn

They leaned out, and he heard them

French milliner over the way or the

manned thus until presently the sallow

room.
He did not see the colonel at once,

That none may fail to know her love
for the sea. she has had a large an

plainly in evidence when she dons her

Through such association, as we'll

become very familiar with everything
that concerns the navy. She wishes
to see n naval and commercial Inn

is not much chance for a considerable

her attention to building up the

PLANTING SCHOOL GROUNDS.
Educational Value to ChiIdrer OF
Growing Trees and Shrubs.

Comfort is not the only rrascp for
planting about the schoolhousc. The
trees have also an educational value.
Indeed, bare grounds may he regarded
MS an orportunity. Children interest
ed in the work of selecting planting
and growing trees and shrubs about
the school can gain in the work no lit
tie knowledge of right principles and
methods. Many people think that to
plant a tree all that needs to be done
is to dig up a Sapling or buy it and
set it in a hole. This is a great mis-
take. responsible for many unnecessary
failures Some knowledge of tree cul-
ture is Il thing sure to prove useful to
n large proportion of school children.
As the public schools are common

tive and beautiful. says the Los An

HIS HEART ALMOST CHOKED HIM AS HE
FOUND THE LITTLE BOOK.
rister judged that the key belonged to
n vault of some kind; but, as for the
book, all he could make out was that
it seemed to be code for the transla-
ton of a Russian cipher.
AS soon as breakfast had been dis
posed Of Mr.. Saunders himself started
for the hotel to make his excuses and
the exchange, but while waiting on
the curb for a hanson he was notified
by messenger that he must be in court
at certain hour to take care of Il case
he had supposed to be further down
on the calendar. Instead of the hotel
he went to court. The fur trimmed
overcoat was hung up In the cloak
room, and three hours later, when the
case was concluded, 1t was missing.
There had not been another fur trim
med overcoat on the hooks, and Mr..
Saunders doubted if another barrister
in that court had one. Some thief had
managed to enter and appropriate 1t.
The sacrilege Of the act unnerved the
barristcr for time, and then he went
home to find that n stranger had been
waiting for him for Il long time. 1t
was Il Russian, and he had brought
fur trimmed overcOat with him. He
introduced himself as connected with
the Russian embassy, and he owned
up that the little book was a new code
just issued by his government and
that the key opened a safe In which
state secrets We're kept. lie had only
been temporarily intrusted with the
articles, and their loss might send him

The man was half frightened to death,
and of course the barrister pitied him
and was willing to do anything for
him. The check boy had Numbered
and given out the wrong coat. If the
book and the key had been left behind
with the valet all would have been
well, but they had been taken along
with the overcoat, and the overcoat
was now on third mans back. When
the Russian was told of its loss he
wanted to commit suicide at once.

PLANTING HEDGES.
How and When to Set Out Plants For
Improvement Purposes.

Improvement Purposes.
Well kept and neatly trimmed
hedges add greatly to the attractive
ness of private grounds or public
places and thus improve the appear
nnce Of towns.
Winter Is a good time to set out a
hedge, as most of the plants used are
hardy, many varieties evergreen. Cal
ifornia priyet will be selected in most
cases, but the Towering hedges Of ia
panesc ounce, Rosa rugosa and Ber-
beris thunbcrgii are growing IN favor
For an evergreen hedge there are
few quicker growers or more thor
oughly hardy than the Siberian arbor
vitae, though the American arbor vitae
is cheaper.
In transplanting hedge plants, espe-
cially evcrgrccnS, do not expose the
roots to the sun, says the Chicago In
ter Ocean. Setting out Wiltcd plants
Is the cause of many failures. Unless
the heads of eycrgrcens are too large
for the root growth they need not be
cut back when first planted.
The only way to have Il good hedge
is TO head it in from the start to pro
duce n thick bottom growth. 1t may
seem slow at first, but the final re-
suits are better
plants should be put about eight
inches apart and the larger ones from
ten inches to Il foot.
