CHAPTER Y.


Betty Lancey came back to con-
seriousness and the world OF things as
mortals think they see them, with
most monstrous smell of sulphur chok-
ing her. AS nearly as she could distin-
guish the room was filled with glass
globes the circumference of a fair
sized musk melon, and every globe was
a-twitter with lemon yellow or pale
violet lights, bathing the room with
odd sputtered flashes.
Realities reverted slowly. Betty
made out ceiling, domelike and cor
rugated later a floor, and eventually
deserted that she was nesting on a
couch piled soft and easy with pun
gent pillows. Barely had she discern

sonage confronted her. 1t, was tall

CHAPTER Ix.-(Continued.)

The visit OF Mr.. Franz threw no
new light on the Wayne murder mys-
terry. AS to the disappearance OF Bet
ty Lancey and OF the Man-Aperilla
these riddles were stu at their bathing
inception. The0police found them
selves up against a polygonal enigma:
The murder of Cerisse Wayne; the
identity and whereabouts OF Hamley
Hackleye; the unparalleled resem-
blance between Mrs. Harcourt and
Mrs Wayne; the disappearance OF
Betty Lancey; and the appearance
and disappearance Of the Man Aperilla
all surrounding the death OF Mrs.
Wayne.
Lasry Morris grew thin and gaunt
as the days passed on. and no tidings
came from the missing Betty. Har-
courts wife had been taken to sani-
tarium and Harcourt was held IN jail
pending her recovery and. the clear
ance of the mystery. The copy OF the
letter Harcourt had made was pro-
nounced by experts to be a disguised
hand, and the signature OF Harold
Harcourt on the hotel register was
found to be almost Identical with the
formation of the initials H. II. append
ed to the letters found among the eff
fects of the dead Cersse Wayne
Opinion was divided among various
speculations and some thought that
Harcourt had killed Mrs. Wayne. other
theorists held that Harold Harcouri
and Hamley Haokleye were the same;
others still. that Harcourt had been
masquerading as Hackleye. and in thai
way explained the vanishing of Hack
ieye- This left still unaccounted fol

The Canada thistle has been spread
ing rapidly In Minnesota during the
past two or three years and is becom-
ing serious pest. 1t grows persistent
~ and vigorously and crowds the grain
crops badly where allowed to survive.
The sharp spines on the leaves are
exceedingly annoying In harvesting
the grain and are equally offensive to
animals at work or in pasture.
Identification. The Canada thistle is
a perennial weed with deep root stalks
which spread rapidly in all directions.
The stems are erect and from two to
four feet high. The leaves are deeply
notched. armed with numerous sharp
spines and somewhat downy on the
under side. The blossoms are small
and vary in color from pale purple to
nearly white.
Method OF Spreading. This thistle
spreads by seeds and from the root
stocks. The seeds are carried In grass
and clover seeds and seed grain, by
the wind and by farm machinery. The
root stocks are dragged about the
fields by farm implements and new
spots often infected from this source.
Eradication. When fields are only
slightly infested with th1stles they
may be destroyed by cutting the plants
off with spade deeply beneath the
surface of the ground every time they
appear This requires constant watch.
fulness throughout the entire growing
season and must be kept up for a num-
Der of years. Where large field is
badly infested the most practical
method of eradication will be to bare
fallow the land. The thistles should
be plowed under deeply early in the
summer before they come into bios
som. The land should then be worked
frequently enough with surface slic-
ing implement such as disc or Acme
harrow to prevent. any of the plants
appearing above ground. The cultiva-
ton must be kept up until late in the
fall, as the Canada thistle is a very
persistent grower. If a cultivated crop
can follow the next year the eradica-
ton will be more sure.
Yhistles seldom trouble much where
short crop rotations are practiced. A
three-year rotation of grain, clover

Beautiful American Girl. -.

Paris, June 20.-Another chapter in
the somber romances of beautiful
Clara Ward of Detroit was revealed
here when the woman, now the wife
of Peppino Ricciardi of Naples, made
known that she had been deserted by
her husband, who accused her of an
intrigue with the family butler.
Ricciardi was known as "the hand
soonest man in Naples" He married
his wife shortly after her desertion by
the gypsy violinist Rigo, for love of
whom she deserted her first husband,
Prince Chimay, and became social
outcast.
1t is reported that Ricciardi has
made absolutely no provision for his
wife, though he is man of consider
able wealth.

MOST IMMIGRANTS BRITISH
American Influx Into Canada Third
Ourinu Ten Years.

Winnipeg, June 2O.-According to
official statistics now being issued by
the immigration department immigra
ton to Canada in the last ten years
totaled 1,455,2SS.
The fiscal year recently closed
eclipsed all others in the volume of
immigration, the arrivals numbering
2OS,794. OF the grand total for the
decade about $4,000 came from the
British Isles, 344,O00 from the Cont
nent and 497, 900 from the United
States. Americans across the border
are, therefore, within $4,000 of the to-
tai of British immigration. ;...-'
OF the immigration from the British
Isles, about 41S,OOO came from Eng
land and Wales, 1Os,987 from Scotland
and 34.124 from Ireland. Japanese
immigration in the last three years to-
tailed 8,367.

The leading editorial reviews the

fort to defy Roosevelt that is not po-
litical prejudice, but reaction. In con-
clusion it says:

has reason to be concerned about is
