SPRING WORK AMONG SHRUBS
When Reasonably Sure Winter Ia
Breaking Gradually Remove All
Protective Material.

When the winter Is breaking up
and you are reasonably sure Of mild
weather, gradually remove all pro.
tective material that was used In the
winter, but keep 1t handy for use
again should an unexpected cold snap
come.
Mulch afresn with well-rotted
manure all nursery stock that was
planted last fall and give an over
hauling to all the shrYbbery. Cut out
all dead wood which has been over
looked, and prune roses, and all
shrubs that flower on the current sea
sons growth. Attend to the roses AZ
soon as possible.
Dwarf growing hybrid perpetual
roses, If large masses of flowers are
wanted, should be left with four to
ave canes, two or three feet In
length. This treatment will not give
flowers Of the best quality. II quality
rather than quantity Is wanted, cut
the canes back to within six or eight
inches of the ground. The first year
allow only three or four outside
canes to remain, few being added
each year as the plants grow
stronger
Cold winters often injure the tops
of rose plants without injuring the
roots. In such cases the tops should
be cut OF at or below the point where
freezing stopped. which is often close
to the ground
For climbing roses the removal OF
dead wood is suficient pruning.

CHAPTER XII.
on Reconsideration

Gently but with decision Sergt
Hickey set his face against the allure
ment of his wine-cup and the impor
tunities of his fellow-oficers.
He was tired, he affirmed with a
weary nod; the lateness of the hour
rendered him quite indisposed for con
vivial dalliance. Even the sight OF
O'Hagan, seduction incarnated, in the
vestibule, bottle under either arm
clutching box of cigars jealousy
with both hands, failed to move the
temperate soul.
"Nah," he waved temptation aside
with a gesture of finality. II don't
guess I'll take nothin' tonight, thanks
G'night ALL"
And, wheeling, shaped a course for
Broadway.
The early morning air breathed chill
but grateful to his fevered brow. Odd.
ly enough, in view of the fact that he
had INDUCED in no very violent exer.
