 I had been making a net to catch yultures and falcons, and To and be- hold. two plump thrushes had blum dered into itI q young man on q bicycle with a bag of golf clubs slung on his back.
 He strolled around to the tennis lawn and was welcomed riotously by the players Evidently they were chaf- fng him, and their chaf sounded hor- ribly English. Then the plump man, mopping his brow with a silk handker- chief, announced that he must have tub.
 I heard his very words. 'tI've got into proper lather,' he said. 'sThis will bring town my weight and my handicap, Bob. I'll take you on tomor- row and give you stroke hole.''
 You couldn't find anything much more English than that.
 They all went into the house and left me feeling precious idiot. I had been barking up the wrong tree this time. These men might be acting, but if they were where was their audience? They didn't know I was sitting thirty yards off in a rhododendron. It was simply impossible to believe that these three hearty fellows were anything but what they seemed-three ordinary, game playing, suburban Englishmen, weari- some, if you like, but sordidly inno- cent.
 And yet there were three of them, and one was old, and one was plump, and one was lean and dark, and their house chimed in with Scudder's notes, and half a mile off was lying a steam yacht with at least one German officer.
 I thought of Karolides lying dead, and all Europe trembling on the edge of an earthquake, and the men had left behind me in London, who were wait ing anxtously for the events of the next hours. There was no doubt that mischief was afoot somewhere.
 The Black Stone had won and if it survived this June night would bank it's winnings.
 There seemed only one thing to do go forward as if I had no doubts and, if I was going to make a fool of my self, to do it handsomely. Never in my life have I faced a job with great CT disinclination.

 tore open the tide tables and found Bradgate. High tide there was at 1o:27 p. m. on the 18th of June.
 'twe're on the scent at last!'' cried excitedly. Flow can I find out what is the tide at the Run?''
 T can tell you that, sir,'' said the coast guard man. q once was loaned a house there in this very month, and used to go out at night to the deer sea fishing. The tides ten minutes be fore Bradgate."
 closed the book and looked around at the startled company
 'sIf one of those staircases has thirty nine steps we have solved the mystery, gentlemen said. q want the loan of your car, Sir Walter, and map of the roads. If Mfr AfacGil1ivray will spare me ten minutes think we can prepare something for tomorrow"

stood about Scudder's knowledge I had talked confidently last night about Germans being likely to stick to a carefully planned scheme, but if they had any suspicion that was on their track they would be fools not to cov- CT it.
 I wondered if the man last night had seen that I recognized him. Somehow I did not think he had, and to that I clung. But the whole business had never seemed so difficult as that after noon when by all calculations I should have been rejoicing in assured success.
 Tn the hotel met the commander of the destroyer, to whom Seaife in- troduced me, and with whom I had a few words. Then I thought I would put in an hour or two watching Ira faIgar lodge.
 I found a place further up the hill in the garden of an empty house. From there had full view of the court, on which two figures were having a game of tennis.
 One was the old man, whom I had already seen; the other was a younger fellow, wearing some club co1ors in the scarf round his middle. They play ed with trem endous zest like two city gents who wanted hard exercise to open their pores. You couldn't con ceive more innocent spectacle.
 They shouted and laughed and stop ped for drinks when a maid brought out two tankards on sa1ver.
 I rubbed my eyes and asked myself if was not the most immortal fool on earth. Mystery and darkness had hung about the men who hunted me over the Scotch moor in aeroplane and mo torcar and notably about that internal antiquarian. It was easy enough to connect these folk with the knife that pinned Scudder to the floor and with fell designs on the worlds peace.
 But here were two guileless citizens taking their innocuous exercise and

cost OF production is lessened while

The singie-stalk system OF con-
trolling the oranching habits Of the
cotton plants has made possible a
special method of culture for irri-
gated districts. The rows are plant
ed in pairs, one on each side of 4

to the burrows, and these are sep

the single-stalk system. If the
plants grow very large they lean
