on shoots OF the current seasons
growth. which in turn grow from buds
developed the previous season. All
pruning must, therefore. be based on
this characteristic of the plant. After
determining the system of pruning
best suited to the conditions, species
and variety the vine should be so
handled, during its early life, as to
develop general framework of the
type desired.
The pruning the first winter after
the planting of the vines is determined
by the character of the growth made
by the plants. If the growth has been
short and weak all the wood except
the strongest shoot should be removed
and this should be cut back to two
or three buds. II strong growth has
been made and there is one straight,
well-ripened shoot, all other growth
should be removed and this cane cut
back to the height at which 1t is in
tended to head the vine. This will
concentrate all the force and growth
of the plant into the cane which is
to become the trunk Of the vine.
From this only such shoots should be
allowed to grow as are needed for
shaping the vine for the following,
its first, fruiting season. After this
framework has been established. the
fruit-bearing part of the plant should
be so pruned that It will be renewed
from year to year and so adjusted to
the variety and the food supply as
never to allow the plant to over
bear. but at the same time to induce
it to bear its full capacity. Under
such treatment the body of the plant
will gradually become stronger and
its fruiting capacity will increase cor
respondingly.
Not only do different countries have
different methods of pruning and
training, but methods often vary in
the several districts OF the same coun
try. Those interested In the methods
OF pruning and training used in this
country will find them illustrated and
described in Farmers Bulletin No
All. entitled Grape Propagation
Pruning and Training" which can bs

(From Weekly Letter. United States De-
partment Of Agrlculture.)
Fall or winter pruning of grape
vines in the home garden, as we'll as
on the commercial plantation, may be
done at any time during mild weather
while the vines are in dormant con-
dition. In general, the period from
November to March gives the most
satisfactory results, but the work
should in all cases be done at least a
week or ten days before the vines are
likely to start into growth.
In the colder sections Of the coun-
try, wherever varieties not hardy
enough to withstand severe winters
are grown, the vines must be artificial
ly protected. Under such circum-
stances the vines should be pruned as
soon as they become dormant. The
system of pruning should be such as
to easily admit Of laying down the

New York.-John Ross Stuart, n me
chanical engineer, was sued in the SUI
preme court for separation by Mrs.
Evelyn NJ. Stuart, who alleges that
since their marriage in Michigan City,
Ind, in 1911. her husband has been
uniformly unkind and cruel" One OF
the charges Of cruelty is that he in
sisted on having red-haired child.
Mrs. Stuart says her husband has an
ungovernable temper and flies into
angry RACES" She says one objection
to him is that he had the habit of com.
ing horne from his trips unannounced.
When they were living at 720 River
side drive in 1912 Mrs. Stuart was out
late one evening and when she re-
turned she found her husband in bed.
He abused her and insisted on know.
ing where she had been. She named
two restaurants she had visited with
friends. On the following night her
husband took her to these places and
to her great modification he led her
before the doorinan and head waiter
in each place and asked II she had
been there with another man the previ.

CHAPTER XIII.
Gail First!

Allison, springing forward with a
jerk as he left Jim Sargent's house,
headed his long, low runabout up the
avenue. He raced into the park. and
glanced up at the lookout house as
he sped on past; but it was only a
feeting look. He needed no reminder
of Gail AS he passed Roseleaf inn,
he slowed down. The roadhouse may
have given him. and probably did. an
other reminder of Gail, in such man
ner as to concrete him into logical
thought; for he slowed down the ter
rife speed which had been the accom-
paniment of his unreasoning emotion
The driving required too much con-
centration for specific thought.
With this turning eff his his mental atti-
tude. even the slow running of the car
seemed to disturb him. and, about
half mile past Roseleaf inn. he came
slowly to stop, sitting at the wheel,
with his head bent slightly forward.
and staring at the spot where the ROAD.
way had ceased to roll beneath his
machine. Presently he became aware
of the cold, and running his car to the
side of the road, he stepped out, and.
buttoning his coat around him, crossed
a fence and walked through the mar
row strip of trees to the river bank,
where he stood for a moment looking
out upon the misty Hudson, sparkling
nudor tbo VnnnnIinhf fn
walk up and down the bank presently,
the turf sinking spongily under his
feet, and it was noticeable that his
pace grew more and more rapid, until
he was striding at a furious rate of
speed.
The man was in torment of pas
sion. He had spent lifetime in the
deliberate acquisition of everything
upon which he had set his will; and it
was one of the things upon which he
had built his success. that, once he
had fixed his desire deliberately upon
anything, he had held unwaveringly to
that object, employing all the forces OF
which strong men are capable; patient
waiting. logged persistence. or vicious
graphing, whichever was best adapted
to gain his ends.
Gail! II there had been tender
thoughts Of her, they were gone now
1t was so that he had centered his
mind upon her. and himself and his
will. until. in all creation, there was
nothing else but that was trivial; am
bition. power. wealth. fame, the com
mand of empires and of men, were
nothing, except as they might lead to
her!
So it was that he had come this far
and the roadway to his present height
was marked by the cripples he had
left behind him, without compunctiOn.
without mercy, without compassion.
Bankrupts strewed his way, broken
men of purpose higher than his own.

monwealth, but wl4o had been more
brilliant in construction than they haC
been in reaping the rewards OF thell
building. 1t was for Allison to do this
1t had been his speciality; the reaping
of rewards. 1t had been his faculty tc
permit others to build, to encourage
them in it, and then, when the build
ing was done, to wrest 1t away from
the builders. That marked him as the
greatest commercial genius of his
time; and he had much applause for it.
Women. Yes, there had been WON.
en- creatures of common mold with
whom he had amused himself, had
taken them in their freshness. and
broken them, and thrown them away;
this in his earlier years. But in his
maturity. he had bent all his strength
to greater passion; the a~quirement
of all those other things which men
had wanted and held most dear, among
them acquisition, and power, and sue
cess. Perhaps it had been bad for him.
this concentration. for now it left him
at the height of his maturity. with mis-
taken fancies, with long pent fires,
with disproportionate desires. Bring
ing to these, he had the tremendously
abnormal moral effect of never hav.
ing been thwarted in a thing upon
which he had set his mind, and of be
lieving, by past accomplishment, that
anything upon which he had set his
wish must be his, or else every victory
he had ever gained would be swept
aside and made of no value. He must
accomplish, or die!
He was without God, this man; he
had nothing within him which con.
ceded for a moment, a greater power
than his own. In all his mental i'm
agery, which was rich enough in ma
terial things, there was no conception
of deity, or of a need for one To
what should he pray, and for what.
when he had himself TO rely upon!
Worship was an idealistic diversion. a
poetic Illusion, the refuge of the weak
who excused their lack of strength by
ascribing 1t to mysterious something
beyond the control of any man He
tolerated the popular notion that there
must be GLd. as he tolerated codes
of social ethics; the conventions which
laid down. for instance. what gentle
man might or might not do, externally
and still remain gentleman. In the
meantime, If man-made law came be-
tween him and the accomplishment of
his ends. he broke it, without a trace
of thought that he might be wrong
Laws were the mutual safeguard of
the weak, to protect themselves
against the encroachment of the
strong; and it was in the equally nat
ural province Of the strong to break
down those safeguards. In the same
way he disregarded moral laws. They,
too, were for the uphoIding of the
weak. and the mere fact that they ex.
listed was proof enough that they were
an acknowledgment of the right of the
strong to break them.
There is a mistake here. It lies in
the statement that Allison recognized
no God. He did. Allison. Not Allison,
