cowardly attempt on his life, the warn
ings. and his blood boiled to fever heat.
That night-after he had seen Meleese
he would know what to do. But he
would not be driven away, as Gregson
and Thorne had been driven. He was
determined on that.
The gloom of night falls early in the
great northern midwinter, and 1t was
already growing dusk when there came
the sound of a voice outside. followed
a moment later by a loud knock at the
door. At Howland's invitation the door
opened and the head and shoulders OF
a man appeared.
Something has gone wrong out at
the north coyote, sir. and Mr.. Mac
Donald wants you just as fast as you
can get out there" he said. He sent
me down for you with a sledge."
Macdonald told me the thing was
ready for firing" said Rowland, put
ting on his hat and coat. Whats the
natter"
Bad packing. I guess. Heard him
swearing about it He's in q terrible
sweat to see you"
Half an hour later the sledge drew
up close to the place where Rowland
had seen a cor of men packing bags
of powder and dynamite earlier in the
day. Half a dozen lanterns were
burning among the rocks. but there
was no sign of movement or life. The
engineers companion gave a sudden
sharp crack of his long whip and in
response to it there came a muff1ed
halloo from out of the gloom.
That's Macdonald, sir. You'll find
him right up there lear that second
light, where the coyote opens up. He's
grilling the life out of half a dozen
men in the chamber, where he found
the dynamite on top OF the powder
instead OF under it."
All right called back Rowland,
starting up among the rocks. Hardly
had he taken a dozen steps when q
dark object shot out behind him and
fell with crushing force on his head
With a groaning cry he fell forward
on his face. For a few moments he
was conscious of voices about him; he
knew that he "a being lifted in tbs
arms of men, and that after a time
they were carrying him so hat his
feet dragged on the ground. After thai

from the top floods the seed out of
place. Some growers use a whisk broom
for sprinkling the soil. Others when
watering during termination place the
seed fiat in water and the plants drink
up moisture through the holes in the
bottom of box.
For conserving the moisture when
first sown the fat is covered with a
pane of glass with black paper on top
to shut out light. Different seeds take
different times to terminate, SO 1t Is
wise not to put the quick g~erminators,

days. with heliotrope, day lilies. peren-
NAL phlox. which are among those
seeds that take from twenty to thirty
five days to terminate.
When the seedlings appear they must
have light. If In a window the box
should be turned each day so the young
plantlets will have even growth and not
lean toward the sun.
This transplanting is called ''pricking
off" and takes time and delicate hand
ling. Lift the plants with a pointed
stick, disturbing the roots as little as
possible. II you repeat the transplant
ing several times your flowers will well
repay the effort, especially is this SO Of
asters and godetias.
Tiny seedlings like those Of the tuher-
GUS begonia are very hard to trans
plant and should be lifted with a darn
ing needle or coarse pin.
When the plants are we'll grown and
the days begin to get warmer the seed
pans should be set on the porch-du
ing part OF the day to harden off the
plants before setting them out. II

the individual plants are set in the

fore planting in the open.

have to eat. You can order oysters.
a salad or a welsh rarebit. You are
rather young to go to supper after the
theatre. Why do you not have some
light refreshment after you get
home. Invite your escort to come in
and have a cup of cocoa, coffee or tea,
some sandwiches and cake. There will
be time enough for you to go out to
supper after the theatre whom you are

CHAPTER Win.
The Hour of Death.

Inc Hour OF Deatn.
A RED, unwinking eye staring at
~ him fixedly from out of impene-
trable gloom-an ogreish. gleam-
ing thing hat brought life back into
him with a thrill of horror-was How
lands first vision of returning con-
seriousness. It was dead in front OF
him, on a level with his face-a bali
of yellow fire hat seemed to burn into
his very soul. He tried to cry out, but
no sound fell from his lips; he strovs
to move, to fight himself away. but
there was no power of movement In his
limbs. The eye grew larger. He saw
that it was SO bright it cast q halo,
and the halo widened before his own
staring eyes until the dense gloom
about it seemed to be melting away.
Then he knew. It was a lantern In
front of him, not more than ten fees
away Consciousness flooded him, and
he made another effort to CRY out.
TO free his arms from an invisible
clutch that held him powerless. At
first he thought this was the clutch OF
human hands; then as the lantern
light revealed more clearly the things
about him and the outlines of his own
figure, he saw that 1t was a rope, and
he knew that he was unable to cry
out because of something tight ana
suffocating about his mouth.
The truth came to him swiftly. He
had come up to the coyote on a sledgs.
Some n had struck him. He remem-
bered that men had half-dragged him
over the rocks, and these men had
bound and gagged him, and left him
here, with the lantern staring him IN
the face. But where was hep He
shifted his eyes, straining TO penetrate
the gloom. Ahead of him, just beyond
the light, there was a black wall: he
could not move his head, but he saw
where that same wall closed in on the
left. He turned his gaze upward. and
1t ended with that same imprisoning
barrier of rock Then he looked down
and the cry of horror that rose In his
throat died in a muffled groan. The
light fell dimly on a sack-two of them
-three-a tightly packed wall of them.

PRELIMINARY GARDENING INDOORS.

THE custom of starting seedlings
indoors to prolong the bloom Of
our gardens is growing. 1t used to be
confined to professionals; now quite
~amateurish gardeners are taking to
seed-boxes if they do not consider
themselves far enough advanced for
hot-beds and cold frames.
The last two sound so professional
that the unambitious gardener needs
r%eassuring. In reality the frames may
be made at home by anyone with slight
skin at carpentering, and at only the
cost of the boards. The frames should
stand twelve inches high at the top
and six inches at bottom, with side
boards slanted proportionately.
The cost of the sashes Is more, about
three dollars each. out unless unlucky
enough to be hurt by a hail storm they
last for years. The usual sash meas
ures three feet by six. n can be
bought anywhere where gardening sup
plies are sold.
These frames should lave a southern
exposure and protection from prevail
ing winds. They measure six feet from
north to south and each section fits
the sash, but can extend as far east
and west as one has money and time
to spend. Just one frame makes a
good beginning; by another year more
are surely added.
The difference between a hot bed and
cold frame, which look exactly alike. is
that the former has a high temperature
furnished usually by a deep layer of
~fermenting under the. surface
soil The cold frames ave the soil
only and are used largely for protection
and hardening off plants started in
doors or In the hot bed. though many
tender ANIMALS are started in them
about six weeks before the outdoor
blooming period, and with the .protec-
ton of the glass are safe from late
frost, also bloom much earlier. says
the writer in the Philadelphia Press.
The use of seed boxes In sunny win
dows indoors is far wider than starting
plants In frames. The cost is less and
the work can be done comfortably In a
furnace-heated house, instead of work.

The name "oxtail' for a kind of soup
is said to have started during the
Reign of Terror in Paris in 1893. when
SO many of the nobility were reduced
to beggary. The abattoirs sent the
hides fresh to the tanners without re-
moving the tails, and when they were
cleaned the tails were thrown away. A
noble beggar happened to pass a tam
ner's one day and saw a pile of dig
carded tails and asked for one. He
