CHAPTER l.
Tom Finds Employment.

Tom Finds Employment.
IL was in an exceedingly detected
frame OF mind that Tom Phinney,
alone in Van Vechten's huge six-cylin-
der car, made his way to Maiden Lane
in search of Mr.. Brownlow. The low
state of his feelings was in. a large
measure owing to a condition that had
grown really imminent and personal
only during the last few minutes; one
that meant renunciation OF all his past
mode OF living and realization OF
necessary readjustment to an uncer-
tain future; he had turned over new
leaf, foresworn idleness and frivolity,
and was going to work!
Gloomy meditations darkened his
handsome face, and in his preoccupa-
tion he wasted good quarter of an
hour searching for Brownlow's num-
Der. In harmony with fancied por-
trait Of the latter's establishment, he
directed his attention to the smarter,
more modern structures; and 1t was
quite by accident that his eye alighted
upon the right place-an indescribably
shabby building, ageworn and de-
crepit, pinched between two sky
scrapers. He stopped the motor and
viewed the entrance with doubt and
disfavor. But there was no mistaking
1t; from the curb, Brownlow's name
could be seen on the directory board
just inside the entrance.
There was not even an elevator, SO
Tom was obliged to climb two flights
of stairs, dark and dirty, to a suite Of
dingy Offices. in the outer of which two
old, white-haired clerks bent over pom
derous ledgers without so much as
ldeigning him a glance, and trim
young lady. affording sharp note Of
contrast to her surroundings, pounded
upon typewriter. 1t was she who
recognized his presence with bright.
smiling regard, who took his card
and disappeared into another room,
and who returned presently to say
that Mr.. Brownlow would see him at
once In his private ONCE.
The farther Tom went, the more in
credible It became that this could be
the business habitat of the Kohinur's
owner-for Tom was familiar with
every private craft that acknowledged
New York as its home portland far
from being dazzled by a bewildering
display OF precious stones. the sparkle
of diamond here would have been so
conspicuous as to be startling.
To his unobservant eye there was
nothing to indicate what manner OF
business might be carried on here.
Browplow's private room was even
dingier and more uninviting than the

WORKING IN OLD ORCHARDS
ira Work In Spring When Time
Is Much More Precious.

Now Is the time to take out dead
branches from old orchard trees. Prun-
ing now will save extra work in the
spring when time is precious. More
over. many insects and diseases will
be destroyed. To make sure of it burn
the limbs. Dead limbs provide excel
lent camping grounds for insects and
diseases, says the Cultivator.
Always cut close to the trunk or
main limb; do not leave a stub. The
inner bark will then have the best
chance of healing over the wound. Saw
on both sides of the limb, so that the
bark will not be torn of when the limb
falls. Always paint over the wounds
with tar or some sort of paint to pre-
vent the escaping OF moisture. Re-
paint them whenever Il becomes neces-
sary.

RULES FOR PRUNING TREES
All Branches That Obstruct the SUM-
shine and Air Should Be Cut Out
Washing Is Big Aid.

Pruning may be done as soon as the
cold days are over. From the middle
. of February to the middle of March
is the best time to prune in our eli
mate.
Prune when the trees are not frozen.
If done now. it saves time, which is
valuable during summer weather.
Before pruning study each tree to
see what it needs. Trees only need
pruning when cross branches are al
lowed to obstruct the sunshine and
air. Cut out all such branches, make
a clean cut with sharp saw close to
the limb. All dead limbs and suckers
growing at the base Of trees should
be removed. Paint the wound over
with little good paint to prevent
bleeding; the cut surface will soon
heal, and new bark will grow over the
cut. Scrape off the dead bark from
the trunks and larger limbs. This will
add much to the neat appearance and
produce a healthy growth. A steel
hoe; having a short handle ground
sharp, is the best implement for this
water and soft soap or hardwood
ashes. Use a stiff brush. All trees
will be greatly benefited by good
washing. 1t cleanses the bark, kills
the large and small insects, and de-
stroys the eggs of many kinds Of In
sects that live in the crevices of the
wood. Apple trees should be allowed
to grow low with wide-spreading
branches fully exposed to the sun.
The practice of cutting off all the
lower branches so the ground under
the trees can be planted to farm or
garden crops Is wrong. The entire
ground should be given to the produc-
ton of good fruit, and this can only
be had by close study, thorough cul-
ture, fertilizing, spraying in season,
and the use of corn crops winter and
summer.
