set In the head. Flora meets Mr. Kerr,
an Englishman, at the club. In dis
cussing the disappearance of the ring, the

the return of the ring. Harry admits TO
Flora that he dislikes Kerr. Harry takes
Flora to Chinese goldsniths to buy an
engagement ring. An exquisite sapphire
set in hoop of brass is selected. Harry
urges her not to wear it until it is reset.
The possession of the ring seems to cast
a spell over Flora She becomes uneasy
and apprehensve. Flora meets Kerr at
box party. She Is startled by the effect
on him whom he gets a glimpse of the
sapphire. The possibility that the stone
IS part OF the Crew Idol causes Flora
much anxiety.

BLOSSOMS IN PARKS
Spring Fully Two Weeks Ahead
of Schedule.
BEAUTY OF F0RsYTHIAS
japanese Judas Tree Bursting
Into Flower and the japanese
Magnolias Budding.

Sprngtime in Washington is fully two
weeks ahead of schedule. and as result
the city's parks and gardens are a-blos-
som as completely as they usually are In
the middle OF April. while in the blood of
mere humans the germs of that most
luxurious of all diseases-spring fever-are
coursing In countless thousands In the
memory of even the veteran citizen only
rare instances are recalled when the rays
of sunshine strayed downward in such
mellow degree as they have almost since
the beginning of the usually roisting
month Of March. and in consequence the
earliest of the spring tourists are seeing
Washington at its very best.
Forsythias, always among the first of
the shrubs to thrust forth their golden
bell flowers, have been in bloom for many
days, and these bushes all over the city
are now at the height of their season.
One of the most beautiful bowers OF
forsythias anywhere in the capital is on
the high terrace on the north side OF
Massachusetts, avenue between 14th and
18th streets, and there scores upon
scores of the shrubs overhang the side
walk, while their branches. fairly bending
under the weight of blooms, have trans
formed the hillside into solid bank of
yellow.
Japanese Weeping Cherry.
Another Of the most beautiful of the
early Towering shrubs is the Japanese
weeping cherry. although this Is not yet
SO very numerous in the parks. One Of
the prettiest OF all is located in the
White House grounds and another in the
triangle at Connecticut avenue and 10th
street. Many hundreds OF these dainty
trees were sent to the capital by the
Japanese government a few months ago,
but upon arrival thy were found to be
filled with a species of insect weevil very
destructive to vegetation and the trees
we're burned. Another shipment is ex-
pected at the next planting season. and
then they will be set out by hundreds in
Potomac Park.
The Japanese Judas tree. or red bud.
is just bursting into flower. and since
there are many of them in several OF
the parks they will form one Of the most
beautiful of the wayside blossoms when
they reach maturity, a few days hence.
The Japanese magnoiias are Just begin
ming to send forth their buds, and a few
weeks hence they will be followed by the
American magnolias. The pearl bush is
blooming, as are the bridal wreath and
the Japanese ounce and the purple plum.
Whiting q very few days the lilacs will
begin to blossom, and then for couple
of weeks one Of the sweetest-scented and
most popular of the spring shFubs with
which the public and private gardens are
most literally provided will be at its
best.

THE WONDERS OF ALFALFA.

1t becomes more and more evil
dent, as the empire continues to wing
its way westward, that the wonders
OF alfalfa are endless. A Los Angel
es doctor-and a lady doctor, too
has discox.ered that alfalfa illice -.noSs
unexcelled as soother of nerves, and,
furthermore, it is so BEAUTIFULLY slim
ulating that it has been known to
make the LATEST people fond Of hard
work, but-crowning discovery Of all
the lady doctor has tried tablets of
alfalfa on men who have had delirium
tremens, and, under the influence OF
the soothing green weed the visions
OF serpents vanished, and sanity was
restored to its throne.
Western ranchmen who have made
busy harvesting it to find out much
about the qualities of the plant. An
alfalfa field is worse than "a spoil
ed child when it comes to keeping
humanity on the jump. No sooner
is one crop cut and stacked than an
other crop has sprung up, as il by
magic, and the ranchman must do
his work all over again. Then comes
a third crop and sometimes a fourth
crop atop OF that, and, by the time
fall arrives, the farmer knows moth
ing about alfalfa except that it keeps
men busy and that it makes them
wealthy.
Every year, however, has seen al
falfa steadily growing in importance
as first-aid to humanity. 1t has ev-
en- reached the table in the form of
biscuits, and now it comes into
prominence as a rod and staff for
those who have been too ardent wor-
shippers at the shrine of Bacchus.
There is no telling what will be
done with alfalfa. 1t may be used as
an oil rub, to enable champion ath-
letes to come back" Or, in vest
pocket form, it may solve the table
problem which occupies SO mucn of
the public attention. Science should
quit fooling with radium and other
things that promise more than they
perform, and experiment with alfalfa
which promises nothing, but performs
new wonders every year.

WAS AN OFF YEAR.

The defeat of Sprague, of the Gold

Of the Tonopah Bonanza. confirms
what the Reveille has claimed for
forty-six years, to wit: 1t is reck-
less newspaper man who runs for
office. Going back to Horace Greedy
and coming down to Hearst, there
are eminent examples showing us to
be correct-Austin Reveille. Yes,
and there's also Governor Dickerson,
who Is something of newspaper
man himself. His paper certainly
made some very pointed remarks
about many of the most prominent
democrats in the state, both before
and after his nomination, and the
vote showed that while politically
crushed, they still had influence with
the voters. A newspaper man may
be able to dictate nominations to his
party, but it is seldom that he can
himself succeed at the polls.-Ely
