minutes during the morning or even
ing and STRIP the pods off those rad
ishes in the corner One or two of
those old lettuce plants hold all the
seed needed for this crop next spring.
Those onions too small to eat will all
make goo sets. Save the dried-up beans
and peas, a few ears Of sweet corn,
wash the seed from a half dozen pep
perS, and save enough tomato seed to
grow your own plants While potatoes
are cheap during the early winter
store away enough in the cellar for
early planting; be careful not to bruise
them, and sort them once or twice
during the winter, taking the rOtted
ones out, for this small amount Of care
will save you several dollars next
spring.
Seed saving this fall will take very
little time-sOme watching of the var
iOus crops as the seed mature, then
labelling and placing in paper bags
tied tight, storing away in a dry room
by hanging on the end of wire sus-
pended from the ceiling, and the gar
den seed for next year is ready. This
collection should represent seed of un-

probability represent some well-earn-
ed relief from what is likely to be a
serious seed shortage.

AS soon as she was out in the street
she turned southwark involuntarily,
and set off toward the esta blishment of
Adoree Demorest.
Mrs. knight dried her eyes and be-
gan to dress herself carefully, prepara-
tory to a 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
a more familiar haunt on one of the
side streets among the forties. Here,
just off Broadway, was famous bar
ber shop-a spotless place, with white
interior and tiled walls. Six Italians
in stiff duck coats practiced their arts
at q 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 shampoo,
nodded at Jim, and from force of
habit murmured politely: "Next!'
Then, with a 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 a rear room,
where he found three men seated at a
felt-covered table. They were well
dressed, quiet persons-one a 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

CHAPTER xI.

During the last act of the matinee on
the day following Lorelei was sur
prised to receive a call from John
Merkle. "The Judge" led him to her
dressing room, then shuff1ed away,
leaving him alone with her and Mrs.
Croft.

Theatrical rules are made to be

with an interest that betrayed his un-
