The following is a continuation of
the article published last week, by C.
20. Constable, county fruit inspector 1t
takes up the different ways of spraying
and mixtures best adapted to the de.
struction of fungicifes.
(b) Kerosene Emulsion.-Kerosene
oil, or coal oil, is a powerful insecticide.
The undiluted oil is, however, liable to
seriously injure plants to which it is
applied. This difficulty is overcome by
forming an emulsion with some sub
stance that it may he readily diluted
with water. Soap is most commonly
added for this purpose, as follows:
Kerosene oil, two gallons; hard soap
preferably whale oiD one-half pound !;
water, one gallon. Dissolve the soap
in the water by boiling, add the suds,
boiling hot, to the OIL Churn the mix
ture violently with a spray pump until
it becomes thick creamy mass. If
perfectly emulsified, the oil will not
rise to the surface even after standing
an indefinite time. Such an emulsion
may be used Immediately or kept as a
stock solution. Before using dilute one
part of the stock emulsion with eight or
10 parts of water This will be found
to be an efficient remedy for green
aphis, woody aphis, red spider, mealy
bugs and certain scale insects.
(c) Black-Leaf:-I used especially
for plant lice, but may also be used
for various other sucking insects, as
the leaf hoppers and the apple tingis.
Use in the proportions of one part to
60 parts of water or lime-sulphur.
Gay Black-Leaf 40; is an extremely
concentrated form of nicotine sulphate
and is now sent out as a substitute
for the black leaf. 1t is supposed to be
as efficient and has the added benefit
of being cheaper. Used in the proper
tion of one part to 500 parts of water
or lime e-sulphur.
Fungicides.
A parasitic fungis is a plant as truly
as is the apple tree, the prune tree, or
any other plant upon which it may be
growing. It differs from the common
plants essentially in being much more
simple in structure and being devoid of

CHAPTER XII.

During the last act of the matinee on
the day following Lorelei was sur
prised to receive cali from John
Merkle. "The Judge" led him to her
dressing room, then shuffled away,
leaving him alone with her and Mrs.
Croft.

AS soon as she was out In the street
she turned southwark involuntarily,
and set off toward the establishment Of
Adoree Demorest.
Mrs. knight dried her eyes and be-
gan to dress herself carefully, prepare
tory to journey into the Wall street
section Of the city, for the hour was
drawing on toward three o'clock.
Meanwhile Jim, having transacted
his business at Goldberg's Office, sought
more familiar haunt on one of the
side streets among the forties. Here,
Just off Broadway, was a famous bar
Der shop-a spotless place, with white
interior and tiled walls. Six italians
in stiff duck coats practiced their arts
at row of well-equipped chairs. A
wasp-waisted girl sat at the manicure
table next the front windows. AS Jim
entered she was holding the hand of
a jaded person in light-gray suit, and
murmuring over it with an occasional
upward glance from pair Of bold,
dark eyes. ''Tony the Barber" en-
gagged in administering a shampoo,
nodded at Jim, and from force of
habit murmured politely: "NextP'
Then, with meaning glance, he indi-
Gated a door at the rear of the shop.
In the third chair Jim recognized Max
Melcher, although the face of the sport
ing man was swathed in steaming
cloths.
Jim passed on and into rear room,
where he found three men seated at a
felt-coyered table. They were well
dressed, quiet persons-one book
maker whom the racing laws had re-
duced from affluence to comparative
penury; another, tall, pallid youth
with bulging eyes. The third occupant
of the room was an ex-lightweight
champion Of the ring, Young Sullivan
by name. His trim waist and power

removed a heroin tablet therefrom and
crushed it; the powder he held in the
indentation between the base OF his
closed thumb and first finger, known
as "the thimble;" then, with a quick
inhalation, he drew the drug up his
nostrils. "Have an angel?'' he in

Jim accepted, but Young Sullivan
declined.

Sullivan shook his head. "He might
fall, but I doubt it. How does your
sister feel?"
"That's the trouble. She's square,
and we can't use her," Jim explained
"Some doll!' admiringly commented
Armistead, the third member of the
group. Armistead had once been
famed in vaudeville for dancing, but
the drug habit had destroyed his en-
durance, and with it his career. She's
a perfect thirty-six, all right She
could rip a lot of coin loose If she
tried"
At this moment Mr.. Melcher, freshly
perfumed and talcumed, entered the
room. His white hair was arranged
with scrupulous nicely; his pink face,
as unwrinkled as his immaculate at
tire, was beaming with good-humor.
"Well, boys, I'm the pay-car," he
smiled.
Harmon came through, eh?" Sulli-
van inquired eagerly.
"Not exactly; we compromised. Quick
sales and small profits; that's bust
ness"
"How strong did he go9" queried Ar
instead.
'Now, what's the difference, so long
as you get yours? Photography is a
paying business" Melcher laughed
agreeably.
Sure! I'll bet Sarony is rich"
Young Sullivan carelessly accepted the
roll of currency which Melcher tossed
him, and the others did likewise.

Jim said, regretfully.

"She's got strangle hold on him."
Hmm! Maybe we haven't lost the

Jim seconded the thought. "She's
got an ace buried somewhere. There's
a lot more in her head than h&irpins.

"Not a chance" MeIcher declared.
you'll be lucky to shake him down for
a few thousand. How about Wharton
VIII she stand for him?"
Jim frowned, and his voice was
rough as he replied:
"I'll make her stand for him-if it's
a marry"
Hes lush; If you got him stewed
he might go that far. 1t has been done;
but, of course, it's all up to the girl.
Anyhow, If he balks at the altar we
might get him for something else."
'I'm not sure I'll need any help in
this" Jim looked up coldly. eff he
marries her, that ends it; If we have
to frame him, of course I'll split"
"How are you going to frame him,
with a square dame like Lorelei ~
asked Armistead.
Frame both of them," Melcher said,
shortly. "By the way, he's a gambler,
too, isn't he? Bring him in some
night, Jim, and I'll turn for him my
self"
Save his cuff buttons for me-"
laughed Young Sullivan, idly riffling
the cards. Gee! Money comes easy
to some folks. Don't you guys never
expect to do any honest work."

JUDGE J. Il. CLARKE
 TO SUCCEED HUGHES
Ran Against Mark Hanna for Senate, Later Appointed to U. $. Bench-AssOciate in Law With Tom Johnson.

Washington, July 14.-J. H. Clarke, United States district judge at Cleve- land, O., was nominated by President Wilson today as an associate justice of the Supreme Court to succeed for mer Justice Hughes, the Republican nominee for the presidency.
 Judge Clarke has been a long Democrat, and ran against Mark Hanna for the United States Senate in 1903.
 Since becoming district judge in Cleveland he has taken especial inter est in the naturalization and Ameri- canization of foreign born citizens.
 Despite his service as general at torney for a railroad before going on the bench, Judge Clarke in his cam paign for the Senate advocated a two-cent railroad passenger rate law.
 In Cleveland Judge Clarke for a long time was associated in law with the late Tom L. Johnson and Secre- tary Baker.
 Judge Clarke was born at Lisbon, O., September IS, 1857, attended the Western Reserve University here, was graduated in 1877, and two years later moved to Youngstown, where he practiced law until his removal to Cleveland in 1897.
 For many years he was attorney for the Nickel Plate railroad. He is financially interested in the Youngs- town Vindicator.
 The appointment leaves New York state without representation on the Supreme Court bench.
