Trees and Man.

las far as possible, all of us demand
trees about our dwellings, for their
shade, we say, or their charm, their
protection, their architectural value.
But at bottom, / believe, all our fea-
sons are the same; we demand trees
about our dwellings because deep
within us-deep perhaps, as the pri-
NAL instincts of the race-is a great
and trustful affection humorousIy akin
to the dogs trust in the table beneath
which he lies, whether to escape the
heat of summer or the Fourth of July

upward development, for all our tall
cities and snug dwellings, we are close

some day into the wild places, let
night come on, or a storm, and see
how you turn like homing bird to

knowledge of poisons, but respecting
strophanthus his memory was a trifle
hazy. There were certain associations
connected with it upon which he want
ed to refresh his mind. Alone in hi;
room, he went directly to the well-flled
book shelves that stood beside his
desk and, after running rapidly over
their titles, selected one. 1t was a
standard work on tOxics.
But by and by he closed the volume,
replaced it upon it's shelf, and slumped
down in his desk-chair with a wearied
air, where he sat brooding many min
utes.
After while resolution came to
him and he reached for the telephone.
He called for the coroner's office and
in moment had that official on the
wire. After disclosing his identity he
said:
Il want to be one of your deputies
this afternoon. am going out to Cap
tain Forsythe's in South Edgelake.
Miss Bertel is going with me as an
undertaker's assistant"
"See here, old top" came back over
the wire, what have you got wise
to-"
"A whole lot that you don't know
and will never find out unless you do
as 1 say. But I tell you this: If I
don't miss my guess mile the case
will be cleared by night-without an
autopsy, either"
well, hope to heaven you can.
It's creating a dickens of a stir ow-
ing to the prominence of the people
concerned, and if you can get Doctor
Hendrix out of it it will not hurt me
any. I suppose you have your deputy

may the gods shower blessings upon
your head
Don't make any move till you hear

the forbidden degrees of consanguin-

great abbeys, whose churches of st.

thing to It,"
The Forsythe home was. in good
truth, pretentious place, situated
close to the lake in the midst OF ample,
well-kept grounds.
Hazard and Helen encountered no
trouble in gaining admittance to the
house, though they were informed by
the maid who let them in that the cap
tain was so overcome with grief that
he had shut himself in his room and
denied himself to all callers. Plainly
the maid was very reluctant to dis
turb him.
This suited Hazards plans admi-
rably.
"Tell Captain Forsythe." said he to
the girl, that fully appreciate the

were alone. They sat in silence, each
busy with his or her own thoughts.
The minutes licked away until fully a
quarter of an hour had passed, when
something caused Hazard to glance
up quickly at the girls sweet face.
He was surprised to see her lovely
eyes suffused with tears.
What, Helen-what is it?" he
asked solicitously.
She met his look.
ooh, it's so sad, Felix. That poor,
poor woman. Even in death the shad-

face. And she was so beautiful"

him soberly.

Never but once had he seen her
otherwise than steady and self-pos-

unnerved condition when he beheld
her alive and well had moved her to
tenderness.
"Now, see here, Helen" said he in

look into your eyes as they are now

broke off. The eyes continued to loo:

brought Hazards senses back to the
