the various restaurants and supper
rooms, and as well through the corri-
dors and halls Of the Carlton. At one
of the small tables bearing a great eX-

ferns, Josh Ruggles, in a new evening
dress. sat waiting for his party. Dan
had dined with Lord Gaiorey, and the
two men had gone out together after
ward, and Ruggles had not seen the
boy to give him Lefty Lanes note.
Got it with you?" Blair asked when
he came in. and Ruggles responded
that he didn't carry love letters
around in his dress clothes.
They could tell by the interest in
the room when the actress was cori-
ing, and both men rose as Lefty Lane

her, though her dress from hem to

Rx ALFRED vIvIAN.)

Vegetation begins with the very
simplest forms of plants, such as lich-
ems and MOSES, and is, OF course, very
scanty at first. These plants on dy-
ing become a part of the soil, all or
the plant nutrients used by them be-
ing thus returned.
Food that has once been used by
plants is very readily made available
to succeeding crops through the pro-
cess of decay. The soil is now able
to produce larger crop, as 1t con-
tains the plant food in the previous
growth in addition to that added
through the agencies detailed above.
In this way the growth gradually be-
comes more abundant. The plants up
on decaying give rise to humus, and
this increases the fertility of the land
both by being source of plant food
and by increasing the water-retaining
power. Humus is very important
factor in fertility. During the de
composition OF the plants, acid sub
