Orchard and Garden Notes.

Early cabbage lettuce and caulifiow.
er are sown in the north In hotbed;
any time from the latter part of Janu-
airy to the LIST of March. Sowing early
IN February is preferred by most grow
ers, although excellent results may be-
secured by later sowings If the frames
are handled properly.
1t usually takes nearly a week to ce
the manure ready for the pit. and from
four days to week is generally re.
quired for the temperature to drop IN
the frame sufficiently to make sowing
safe. The reader will thus understand
that the manure for the hotbeds should
be stacked about two weeks before he
intends to SOW.
While fats are not used by MANY
gardeners there are strong points in
their favor. 1t Is more convenient to
SOW In fats in a warm. comfortable
room. carrying the fats TO the hotbed
or cold frame after sowing or planting
and perhaps watering. although wafer
ing is more frequently attended to in
the hotbed or frame.

to his lese-matestie. pointing at a
black cloud rolling over the top of the
range. "It'n be a cloudburst sure.

hurry too. oh. Mrs. Maitland"
By this time Kirkby was on his
feet, the storm haG stolen upon him
sleeping and unaware. The conflgura-
ton of the canon had completely hid
its approach. At best the three In
the camp could not have discovered 1t
until 1t was high in the heavens. Now
the clouds were already approaching
the MONDAY sun. Kirkby was alive to
the situation at once. He had the rare
ability of men of action Of awakening
with all his faculties at instant com
mand. He did not have to rub his
eyes and wonder where he was. and
speculate as to what was to b" done.

complished the demand with threats
OF torturing her. but in vain. She in
sisted that she did not have any
money of her own and that she did
not know where her husbands was

The intruders then made search
on their own account, replacing the
gag and leaving her helpless on the
bed They succeeded in finding e

Then the men returned to the room
in which Mrs. Starr was lying and re-

abandoned their effort and left, one
of them setting fire to the bed upon

"You say" asked Maitland, as they
surveyed the canon. that she went
down the stream?"
"She said she was goin' down. I
showed her how to cut across the
mountains an avoid the big bend I've

Nevertheless" said Maitland. '"it

Maitland nodded. He understood.

tinued Kirkby, whose reasoning was
fawless except that he made no al

salvation. "an' If we don't find nc

the two men took. One of them fol

the canon. In some places where II
was narrow and rocky the pass had
been fairly secured; at other places
the whole aspect Of 1t was changed.

water fell with such force. directness

The tents went down in an instant.
Where there had been a pleasant bit

tossing lake of black water. Some OF
the horses and most Of the burros
which Pete had been unable to do any
thing with were engulfed In mo
