amazement that possessed him
when Ethel fed from him in such
evident confusion.
His usually alert mind seemed inca

direction, and the dazed look on his
face remained there until Mariana
came to tell him that his rooms were

was awaiting him. Then for the first

ignation as he realized the battle he
had before him, he gave curt order
that the automobile. which had broker

SUMMER AND FALL SEEDING

Many farmers are finding it to their
advantage to seed down during the sum-

they are apt to get much better catch"
than they do when they follow the usual
practice ana seed down in the spring.
The same is true regarding top dressing
grass land. Some of the most progress.
sive farmers put on top-dressing immedi-
ately after haying, with perhaps small
application of nitrate of soda the follow

him in mute establishment and then
turned to Ethel. She refused to meet
his glance, and the hot blood rose to
her face as she felt his scrutiny.
She tapped nervously with her foot,
and the establishment grew in Daniels
face. He looked from her to where AL
meric had disappeared and back to her

Horace in the meanwhile had walked
along the cliff. wrestling with the stu
alton as it appeared to him. There
was not the faintest doubt in his mind
that the noble earl would break off the
match because of the humiliation his
equally noble family had been sub
1ected to by the incursion of this vul-
gar guardian.
Hot and tired, he returned to the
hotel with some of his anguish worked
off and sought his sister. She. how
ever, was locked up in her own room
and would only insist that he go away.
SO 1t was from Lady Creech Mt last
that he cleaned some inkling of what
had occurred.
1t was nearly o'clock when he
made up his mind to search out Pike
and "have it out with the beggar," as
he put it. and he found the obstacle in
the entrance garden. AS Horace came
upon the scene Pike was pounding
cheerfully with hammer upon a bolt
head of the motor car.
He was in his shirt sleeves and wore
a long workman's smock close but
toned at the neck. From between his
teeth came the unfamiliar strains of

q distance came the roll of drums and
then the sound of bugle. The sounds
came from afar off, as If below the
cliff.
They both stopped to listen. Then
the servants came running, with Mari
ano at their head. They rushed to the
wall and leaned over. all excitement.
Mariana turned to call to them over
his shoulder:
1.-THE bandit of Russial The soldiers
think he is hidden in a grotto under
these cliffs"
AS he spoke Almeric ran down the
steps with shotgun in his hand and
made for the steps leading down the
face of the cliff. Pike turned to Ethel.

Ethel turned angrily from the law

"Almeric"
st. Aubyn turned and stopped.
"Hellop' he said.

approached "This is Mr.. st. Aubyn,"
she said steadily.
Almeric stared at Pike through his
monocle and laughed.

How very odd! You'll have to see the
