Poisoning Cut-WormS.

In the garden where corn, onions
and other similar crops are grown,
the cut-worm can be destroyed by the
use of a composition made from 25
pounds Of bran and one pound of paris
green, or asenate of lead. moistened
with sweetened water or molasses. A
teaspoonful on each hill Of corn does
the work.
Sometimes middlings are used in
stead of bran, and the mixture is
then rolled into pea-sized pills for
scattering through the field Chick

CHAPTER xv.-continued.

THAT is true, Lizzie; II was irreg-
ular. and certainly very inconvenient.
And II is serious enough, so far as
breaking my engagements is con-
earned. But the circumstances were
very unusual and-pressing. Some
cue else gave the message at the ho-
leI. and. as you know, had no time
sven to get a satchel."
that's what l said when the re-
porters came-that you were so wor-
ned over your sick relative that you
I'D not wait for anything"
AEatha groaned- s'Did-did the pa
pers have much to say about my
having town."
They had columns, Miss Redmond,
and some of them had your picture on
Inc front page with an announcement
Of your elopement. But Mr.. Straker
eontradicted that; he told them he
had heard from you, and that you
we're at the bedside Of a dying rela-
live. Besides that, Miss Redmond, the
difHculty in getting up an elopement
story was the lack Of a probable man.
Your manager and your accompanist
we're both found and interviewed, and
there wasn't anybody else in New
York except me who knew you. Your
discretion, Miss Redmond, has always
been remarkable"
Agatha was suddenly tired of Lizzie.
Very well, Lizzie, that will do. You
may go and get your own things un-
packed We shant return to New
FORK for several days yet"
You've heard from Mr.. Straker, Of
course, Miss Redmond?"
No, but I have written to him, ex-
plaining everything. Why7"
"0h, nothing; only when l sent him
word that had heard from you. he
said at first that he was coming here
with me. Some business prevented
him, but he must have telegraphed."
Maybe he has; but II takes some
tine. evidently, for a hidden person
to be discovered In nion."
As soon as the words were of her
HIPS. Agatha realized that she had
made slip. One has to look sharp
when talking to a sophisticated maid.
But we're you hiding, Miss Red
ncnd?" Lizzie artlessly inquired.
oh, no, Lizzie; don't be silly. The
telegram probably went wrong; tele-
grams often do"
Not when Mr.. Straker sends them" /"
pronered Lizzie. But II his kilograms
nave gone wrong, you may count on
his coming down here himself. He is
much worried over the rehearsals,
which begin early In the month, he
said And he got the full directions
you sent me for coming here; he
would have them"
Agatha knew her managers peril
nactty when once on the track of an
object Moreover, the humor Of the
situation passed from her mind, leav-
ing only a vivid impression Of the
trouble and worry which were sure to
nuow such a serious breaking up Of
ven established plans. She was rare
y caprtcious, even under vexation,
out she yielded to a caprice at this
moment, and one, moreover, that was
very unjust toward her much-tried

to know as much as anybody"

ably. Aleck. with one foot on the low
step Of the piazza, stopped and turned
squarely toward her. His face was no
less miserable than Agatha's, but be-
hind his wretchedness and anxiety

and longer view down the corridors

OFFER CITY FREE
USE Of HOSPITAL

The use of the Virginia hospital.
thoroughly furnished and equipped,
just as 1t stood when abandoned in
favor of Memorial hospital when the
two medical colleges were consolidated
recently, had been rendered to the
city of Richmond free OF all cost for
so long a period as the city may see
fit to use 1t.
The need of better hospital accom-
modations for the city has been APP
parent for some time. and Alderman
Mitchell brought the matter to a focus
at the meeting OF the board Tuesday
night when he offered a resolution
that the city erect a new and modern
hospital. The City home is in
adequately equipped and too small
and it Is gradually dawning upon the
powers that be that something must
be done.
At the meeting Of the executive
committee of the Medical College OF
Virginia--inspired by the city's dire
need of hospital fac,lities--it was de-
cided to offer the municipality the free
use OF the Virginia hospital, and DIR.
S. G.. Mitchell was authorized to COM
municate the offer to the proper au-
thorities. DR.. Mitchell stated that ii
Ia the intention Of the board that the
city shall use the Virginia hospital
as long as 1t pleases which would give
the authorities time to look over the
situation and arrange for hospital
without hurry. As the matter stands
the hospital Ia not in Use and has not
been since the consolidation Of the two
medical colleges and the transfer OF
the patients to the Memorial hospital.
