you, in addition to your salary, share

"No," answered Lydia, glad that he
could not see her blush.
Nor ever will be?"

Its one of the risks of life," said
SarnoId. Marriage is the penalty"
And so their association began; and
Lydia soon learned why Sarnold had
spoken SO bitterly of marriage. Ii
ever there was an incongruous couple
il was Sarnold and his wife. Sarnold
was quiet, gentle. thoughtful, and,
perhaps. little irritable upon occa-
sion: Mrs. Sarnold was shrewish, cold,
calculating, and evidently source OF
continual distress to her husband.
What the life OF the couple could be
like when she was not present Lydia
could very we'll understand from what
she saw while she was there.
And from the first Lydia seemed to
become the object OF Mrs. Sarnold' 8
hostility. She guessed that the wife,
too selfish to take the place size should
have done as her husbands assistant,
grudged her her own. Nevertheless
Mrs. Sarnold shrewdly realized that
her future. as well as her husbands,
lay at Lydia's mercy.

Lydia entered the sunny room in the
big house a little timidly. When she
had answered the advertisement she
had never dreamed that the answer
would come from anything but bust
ness office. She was still more bewil-
dered when the tall man wearing the
blue glasses CROPPED rather helplessly
toward her and indicated that she
should sit down where there was no
chair.
Miss Ford, / received something

them were clearly illiterate. However,

a little irritably.

voice denotes a gentle personality. Is
that correct?"

~ OR several years congress has
- been urged to give a new lease
of life to one of the most in
teresting institutions in Wash
1ngton-the National Botanic Garden
by removing 1t to a 400-acre tract
in Rock Creek park. One need only
walk through the garden to appreci-
ate the need for such change.
The giant palms in the conserva-
tories are crowding the panes of glass
out of the roofs of the buildings in
which they are housed Rare trees and
plants encroach upon one another,
pushing and struggling in their fights
for life and beauty. Exotics that have
been coaxed to fruit and flower in
their perfection in past years are
being persuaded to do so now, under
present conditions of congestion, only
by the hardest kind OF labor on the
part of the gardeners.
In this beautiful garden, started by
George Washington, one meets people
from all over the United States, says
the Washington Star. A mecca for
school children, teachers, bridal cou-
pies and other tourists, as we'll as men
and women of purely scientific turn
of mind, each season that passes gives
it some new attraction, each year adds
to it's collections.
Recently the garden has been par
ticularly enriched by the successful
growth and fruiting of the Carica pa
paya, under the loving care of the
superintendent, George w. Hess. This
papaya is something like the papaw
of the middle West, and is also known
as the melon papaw. 1t is, however, a
tropical fruit, known in tropical coun-
tries as the melon zapote. 1t comes
from Mexico and Central America,
and the two young trees in the bo-
tanic garden bear witness to the fact
that the present occasion is the first
time the fruit has been produced In
Washington.
Superintendent Hess explained how
he happened to be able to produce the
fruit here.
These zapote trees" he said. were
mated by me. They have been in the
botanic garden, suppose, about four

VAN, leQ 10 large oak Tree, 0UU
yards from where Garrett had sat at
his table. Fixed firmly by clamps
against the side of the oak tree was
a rife, trained upon the colonePs
house. It was immovable, and was
so well concealed in the underbrush
that it had been discovered only by
the merest accident. Ellis Tomlin-
son had found it.
Ellis gave testimony at the trial to
the fact that when they were boys
he and his cousin had played in the
grove and had made Investigations
into the ballistic properties of small
arms. The judge and jury adjourned
to the spot, a bullet was inserted in
the rifle, and, when discharged, it
hardly varied by two inches in it's
course from the fight presumably
made by the ball that killed Garrett

started upon my investigation
with a heavy, heart, but I knew that
women do possess certain instinct
in such matters, and, while 1 could
find no decisive clue, l did come
upon certain suspicious Circumstance
es. 1 had known Ellis Tomlinson was
a man Of unworthy character. had
always distrusted him and the inf1u-
ence which he had over his uncle.
My investigations proved the follow
ing facts to be true:
First, there had been a quarrel be-
tween Ellis and the colonel on the
afternoon after Thornton's return.
This was sworn to by little colored
boy in CARROTS employ, who had
overheard the high words and the
coloneIs threat to disinherit Ellis.
The boy also said that, far from hav-
ing turned Thornton out of his home

ing been committed by Ellis. :
Secondly, the bullet fired from the
fixed rifle by the foreman of the jury
was of plain lead, tipped with nickel.
The bullet that had killed Col Gar
rett, while of the same caliber, had a
slightly thinner coating. This fact,
while not necessarily suspicious, in
duced me to call in a friend, an ex-
pert in mechanics.
what would be the effect on the
fight of a thinner bu1let?" asked.
1T would not carry quite so far, on
account of the smaller initial mo-
mentum," he answered.
Then" said, after explaining the
situation, eff the bullet fired by the
foreman fell at a certain fixed point,
a slightly lighter bullet"
would have to be fired a little
nearer to fall at the same point" he
replied.
':But that proves nothing" 1 said
in despair.
He smiled. Everything is capable
of proof" he answered. ''Have you
the experts opinions given at the
trial?"
Well, we sent for the records. I
shall never forget how, with only a
week of life for Thornton, with the
girls pleading face ever before me,
and her confidence that almost un-
nerved me, we debated the pros and
cons of ballistics.
In all that mass of detail it was
hard to set finger upon the salient
point. It was not until the third day
that the expert hit on fact which
was to change the entire situation.
The court experts, men hired by
the state, had traced the course of
the bullet with exactitude, from the
moment it left the rife until it hit
Garrett. The rifle had been, as said,
fixed; consequently it had been i'm
possible to sight it. 1t was fired at

Treatment Of Anger I'll Children

mouth. The best thing to do Is to let
him alone, and let his passion wear
itself out. II he could be taken before
the anger gets the upper hand of him,
he might be controlled. A parent who
can tell when his child is likely to
get into tantrum can sometimes
stop 1t by dashing cold water In hts
face, or by suddenly taking him in
her arms and holding him securely,
without talking to him. This latter
plan will work in some cases, and in
other cases 1t will simply be the
means Of fastening the tempest.
Ordinarily the best way to treat an
abnormal condition like this is to let
Il alone.
What the parent should do is to
study the things which will arouse the
child's anger and then avoid these
things. 1t Is the height OF folly for a
parent to excite anger In child, and
then try to control 1t by punishment
1t is worse than folly; 1t Is brutal,
and is likely to ruin the child. = M.

FLORIDA LANDS
FIGURE IN SUIT

Kansas City. Mo-, May 9.-The trial
of Richmond J. Bolles, president of the
Florida Lands Co., of Jacksonville,
Fla, charged in indictments with u.s.
Ing the mails to defraud and promot-
ing conspiracy, was set for hearing
in the federal court here today
At a previous hearing several weeks
ago attorneys for Bolles, who is in
Florida, introduced evidence showing
that their client was unable, because
of advanced age, to stand the trip here
for trial.
Attorneys for the government in
counter evidence introduced witnesses
who testified to the good health of
Bolles in his Florida home. i'
7 According to the indictments the
land which Bolles attempted to sell
was, in the eyes of the government,
unfit for the purpose the land company
claimed for it through the mails.
