"Then we've got to make tracks
he declared, "and pretty quick. too.
She'll be starting from somewhere
about number twenty-eight dock,
long way down Come along, gentle
men,
They hurried out to the automobile
and started off for the docks. The
latter part of their journey was ac-
complished under difficulties, for the
<street was packed with drays and
heavy vehicles. They reached dock
number twenty-eight at last, how
ever and hurried through the shed
on to the wharf There were no signs
of steamer there
Where's the Durham Quest
asked one of the carriers, who was just
getting his team together.
The man pointed out to the middle
of river, where a small steamer was
lying.
There she is" he replied She'll
be off in few minutes. You'll hear
the sirens directly when they begin
to move down."
Quest led the way quickly to the
edge of the wharf. There was a
| small tug there, the crew of which
were Just making her fast for the
| night.
Fifty dollars if youn take us out
| to the Durham and catch her before
she sails" Quest shouted to the man
who seemed to be the captain
They elambered down the iron lad
der and jumped on to the deck of the
tug The captain seized the wheel.
The two men who formed the crew
took off their coats and wa1stcoats.
Give it to her, jim" the former or
dered. "Now then, here goes! Well
just miss the ferry"
They swung around and commenced
their journey. Quest stood with his
watch in his hand. They were getting
up the anchor of the Durham and
from higher up the river came the
screen Of steamers beginning tt
move on their outward way.
We'll make it all right" the cap
tain assured them.
They were within hundred yard:
of the Durham when Quest gave a lit
tie exclamation. From the other sidt
of the steamer another tug shot ou
i away, turning back towards New
York. Huddled up in the stern, hal
concealed in a tarpaulin, was a ma,
in plain black suit Quest, with
little shout, recognized the man a

That's one of those fellows VIII
was in the truck" he declared, "an,
that's Craig in the stern! We've go
him this time. Say, captain, it's tha

steamer. Catch it and I'll make it
hundred dollars!"
We've got her!" he captain e1
claimed There's the ferry and tn
first of the steamers coming down
the middle. They'll have to chuck it.
Right ahead of them, blazing wit
lights, a huge ferry came churnin

station" he went on, "and we have
questioned them carefully. 1t seems
that after they had picked up the ball,
a man came out Of the side entrance
of the house, saw them reading Miss
Lenora's message, and shouted after
them. The boys had sense enough
to scoot. The man ran after them,
but had to give 1t up. Here is their
description of him"
The inspector took piece of pa
per from his pocket They all waited
breathlessly.
Had to drag this out of the boys,
bit by bit," the inspector proceeded,
but boiled down and put into reason
able language, this is what it comes
to: A man of medium height, rather
chin. pale. and after running a
short distance he put his hand 10
nis heart. as though out Of breath.
One of the boys thought his nose was
little hooked. and they both re-
marked upon the fact that although
he shouted after them, he used no
swear words, but simply tried to in
duce them to stop. This description
suggest anything to you, gentlemen"
Craig" Lenora said firmly.
"It is a very accurate description of
Craig" Sanford Quest agreed.
The professor looked troubled, also
little perplexed. He said nothing,
however.
Under these circumstances" the
inspector continued, 'I have had the
house watched. and propose that we
now search it systematically. 1t is
very possible that something may
transpire to help us. OF course, my
men went through 1t roughly when
we brought Miss Lenora away, but

The professor stood drawing OF

still fingered in his face.

"Gayson avenue" the inspector re

The tug was swung round and they
ran up alongside. The man with the
beard leaned over.

The inspector stepped forward.

other remarked, turning around. "Get

A man rose from underneath the
oilskin. He was wearing Craig's
clothes, but his face was the face of a
stranger. AS quick as lightning Quest
swung round in his place.
Hes fooled us again!" he ex
claimed. Head her round, captain
back to the Durham!"
The sailor shook his head.

he pointed out. Look"
Quest set his teeth and gripped the
inspectors arm. The place where
the Durham had been anchored was
empty. Already, half a mile dowr
the river, with trail of light behind
and her siren shrieking, the Durham
was standing out seawards.

fine screen with its thick. feshy
leaves.
The honeysuckles are desirable
and popular on account of their many
good qualities. They grow quickly,
forming dense shade and are iron-clad
as regards insects and disease.
The various clematis are all beauti-
full and desirable climbers It is not
generally known that if clematis pani-
culata is severely cut back after fiow-
ering, it will form new wood which
will bear fine flowers and many of
them next season.
Ideal plants for covering brick. stone
and rough surfaces, are the ampelop-
sis and hedena heiix-the true Euro
pean ivy. The latter prefers a north
ern exposure, as the alternating thaw-
ing and freezing of late winter is apt
to kill it if grown where the sun
strikes it.
The ampelopsis, better known as the
Boston ivy or Virginia creeper, is al
all times beautiful. The tender
growth in the spring is delicately
shaded and in the fall the leaves ara
gorgeous in yaricolored Colds. Grim

of walking alone. The man who has
the true passion for the woods, the
fields and the waysides does not like
to have his attention diverted at the
most thrilling point by the necessity
of carrying on a conversation with
someone at his side. In short, you
want to be in the woods and fields,
and not in England, Italy, Greece or
Persia, in Broadway or in my lady's
boudoir, or wherever else the vagrant
fancy of wandering conversation
may take you.

1t is not that one does not like

the true walkers objection to a COM

desire to enjoy intimately the scenes

without distraction-to walk when
walking pleases, and to loiter or halt

necessity of conforming to the moods
Of someone who, perhaps, is not in

in the countries of the North, due to
the greater GOODNESS of the air, the
vapor more readily condenses upon the
dust particles. The dust particles thus
become larger and consequently not so

GROWING ONES OWN ROSE
BUDS a.
BY L. M. BENNINGTON.


Nearly all hardy roses can be pro-
pagated by either roofing cuttings. or
layering shoots of the half-ripened
growth of the previous summer.
This can be done at any time after
towering, but October is the season
usually selected. If layering is chos-
en-, the shoot should be bent down,
and a slight cut made, slanting, into
the wood at the bend, then the branch
should be fastened down into the soil,
and all the better if stone or brick
be laid over the buried bend.
The soil about the bend should not
be allowed to dry out, and the plant
should not be moved until the next
fall though, with care. it may be
transplanted in the spring.
Cuttings to inches long from
the half-ripened wood may be set in
sand-clean. sharp river sand, is best
and this must be kept in a sunny,
warm corner or window.
Usually. the cutting will be rooted
sufficiently to transfer to pots in
about six weeks to two months. Much
depends upon the kind of rose, and
the care given it, as some roses root
