ON PLANTING A GARDEN.

There is great virtue in garden.
Men and women will find there
much that they do not anticipate.
crops that they have not planted.
They will get in closer contact with
nature. They will marvel at the laws
directing and controlling the pro
duce of the fields. They will take a
greater interest in the frosts. III the
winds, in the rains, and in the rise
Of temperature.
Many of them. no doubt, will
weary in well doing, even after they
put the seed in the ground AMI
plowed it, or paid someone else to
p!ow it for them. Farmers abandon
a certain portion OF their prepared
land as the season progresses, and
SC will the city gardeners.
Nevertheless, enough will remain
to reward their labors and to curtail
somewhat, at any rate. the bill for
food
God Almighty" says Bacon, first
planted garden 1t became in a
very little while the scene of great
tragedy. Men and women who have
tried the experimnt of gardening,
and whose zeal wanes as the season
progresses, are convinced that the
expulsion from the garden was no
so much punishment as it was an
Oh portunity to get living on easier
terms.
As to what you should plant that
must be determined by your own do

At the mention Of Jibbey, the money
spoiled son of the man who stood next
to Josiah HIGHLANDER in the credit rat
ingS, and LawrenceviIle's best imita-
ton of a faneur, Smiths first emotion
was one of relief at the thought that
Jibbey would at least divide time with
him in the entertainment Of the bored
beauty; then he remembered that Jib-
hey had once considered him a rival,
and that the sham FOUNDERS" pres
ence in Brewster would constitute
menace more threatening than all the
others put together.
ST can't meet Tucker" he said blunt
". you know very well I. can't"
That's So" was the quiet reply. "Of
course you can't What will you do
when he es?-run away?"
''No; can't do that, either. I shall
keep out of his way, If l can. If he
finds me and makes any bad breaks,
he'll get what's coming to him. If he's
worth anything to you, you'll put him
on the stage in the morning and send
him up into the mountains to join your
father"
1.-THE idea - she laughed. Hes not
coming out here to see father. Poor
Tucker! If he could only know what
he is in for!" Then: 1T is beginning
to look as if you might have to go still
deeper in debt to me, Montague. There
is one more thing I'd like to do before
l leave Brewster. If I'll promise to
keep Tucker away from you, will you
drive me out to the Baldwins' tOmor-
row afternoon? 1 want to see the
colonel's fine horses, and he has invited
ne. you know"
Smiths eyes darkened.
'There is a limit, Verda, and you've
reached it." he said quickly. IF the
colonel invited you to Hillcrest, it was
because you didn't leave him any
chance not to. I resign in favor Of Jib-
bey," and with that he handed her into
the waiting elevator and said, "Good-
night"

The remainder OF the day, up 20 the
time when the Offices were closing and
the colonel was making ready to go
home. passed without incident. In
Smiths continued absence Starbuck
had offered TO go TO the dam to stand
a night watch with Williams against
a possible surprise by the right-of-way
claimants; and Sdlings, who had been
petitioning for an injunction. came up
to report progress just as Baldwin was
locking his desk.
1.-THE judge has taken it under adj
visement, but that is as far as he
would go today" said the lawyer. ITS
simply a bold steal, of course. I'm
sworn to uphold the law. and I can't
counsel armed resistance. Just the
same, I hope Williams has his nerve
with him."
''He has; and I haven't lost mine
yet" snapped voice at the door; and
Smith came in, duSt-covered and Swar-
thy with the CRIME Of the wind-swept
grasslands. Out of the pocket of his
driving coat he drew a thick packet of
papers and slapped it upon the drawn
down curtain of Baldwin's desk.
There you are" he went on gratingly.
''Now you can tell Mr.. David Kinzie
TO go straight to blazes with his stock
pinching, and the more money he puts
into it, the more somebody's going to
lose!"
John what have you done?" de-
manded Baldwin.

stock to swing a clear majority if

there is outstanding. It has taken me
all day, and I've driven a thousand
miles, but the thing is DONE"
"But, John! If anything should
happen, and we'd have to make good
on those options. 1t would

"We're not going to let things hap

CHAPTER XVI.
At ANY Cost.

With all things moving favorably for
fTimanyoni High Line up to the night
of f1ascos, the battle for the great
water-right seemed to take a sudden
slant against the local promoters, after
the failure to cripple Stanton by the
attempt to suppress two of his subordl-
mates. Early the next day there were
panicky rumors In the air, none of them
itraceable to any definite starting point.
One Of the stories was to the effect
that the Timanyoni dam had faulty
foundations and that the haste in
building had added to its insecurity.

take care

Of those options, Stillings: they're
worth q million dollars to somebody.
Lock 'em up somewhere and then for
get where they are. Now I'm going
to hunt up Mr.. Crawford Stanton-be-
fore | eat or Sleep!"
EASY, John; hold up a minute l' the
colonel broke in soothingly; and Still
lings, more practical, closed the office
door silently and put his back against
1t. "This is a pretty sudden country,
but there is some sort of a limit, you
know" the big Missourian went on.
whats your idea in going to Stan
tonW
II mean to give him twelve hours in
which to puck his trunk and get out
Of Brewster and the TimanyOni. If he
hasn't disappeared by tomorrow morn
ing"
Stillings was signaling in dumb
show tn Baldwin. He had quietly
opened the door and was cr0oking his
finger and making signs over his Shout
der toward the corridor. Baldwin saw
what was wanted, and Immediately
shot his desk cover open and turned on
the lights.
THAT last lot Of steel and cement
vouchers was made out yesterday,
john" he said, slipping the rubber
band from file of papers in the desk
IF you'll take time to sit down here
and run 'em over, and put your name
on 'em, I'll hold Martin long enough to
let him get the checks in tonight's
mail. I'll be back after a little"
Smith dragged up the presidents
big swivel chair and planted himself
in 1t, and an instant later he was lost
to everything save the columns Of fig
ures on the vouchers. StiIlings had
let himself out, and when the colonel
followed him, the lawyer cautiously
closed the door Of the private Office,
and edged Baldwin into the corridor.
We've mighty near got mailman
to deal with in there, colonel" he
whispered, when the two were out of
earshot. 81 was watching his eyes
when he said that about Stanton, and
they fairly blazed. He's going to kill
somebody, if we don't look OUT
Baldwin was shaking his head du-
biously.
Hes acting like a 1ocoed thorough
bred that's gone outlaw" he said. do
you reckon he's sure-enough crazy,
BobP'
"Only in the murder nerve. This
deal with the options shows that he's
all to the good on the business side.
That was the smoothest trick that's
been turned in any stage of this dOdg-
ing fight with the big fellows. 1t sim
ply knocks Kinzie's rat-gnawing game
dead. If there were only somebody
who could calm Smith down a little
and bring him to reason-somebOdy
near enough to him to dig down under
his shell and get at the real man that
used to be there when he first took
hold with US"
"a woman?" queried Baldwin, frown-
ing disapproval in anticipation of what
Stillings might be going to suggest.

was thinking Of this young woman
over at the Hophra House; anybody
can see with half an eye that she has
a pretty good grip on him. Suppose
we go across the street and give her
an invitation to come and do a little

IleVel-headed and sensible enough to
take il tne way It's meant"

"In which case it would be little

We've got to hold him, proof or no

"At home and in bed I reckon"
'Call him upon the phone and state

you're getting the range now"
laughed the ex-cowman, and instead
of using the desk set, he went to shut
himself into the sound-proof telephone
closet.
When he emerged a few minutes
later he was grinning exultantIy. "That
was sure a smooth one of yours, John.
Dick gave me the facts. Shaw's q
thief; but he has a sick sister on his
hands-Or said he had-and the rail-
road didn't prosecute. Dick says for

him, Billy; no, there's nothing personal
about 1t; but when a great corporation
like the Escalante Land company gets
n T1Io
it's time to make somebody sweat for
1t. Let's go and get Shaw"
Together they went across the corri-
dor, and Smith unlocked the door Of
the disused room. The light switch
was on the door-jamb and Starbuck
found and pressed the button. The
single incandescent bulb hanging from
the ceiling sprang alive-and showed
the two men at the door an empty
room and an open window. The bird
had flown.
Starbuck was grinning again when
he went to look out of the window.
The roof of the adjoining building was
only few feet below the sill level,
and there was a convenient fire escape
ladder leading to the ground.
Its US for that roadhouse out on
the Topaz trail before the news gets
around to Stanton and Lanterby," he
said definitely; and they lost no time
in securing an auto for the dash.
But that, too, proved to be a fiasco.
When they reached Barton's all-night
place on the hill road, the bar was
still open and card game was run
ming in an upstairs room. Starbucz
did the necessary cross-questioning
Iof the dog-faced bartender.
"You know me, Pug, and what I can
do to you if I have to. We want Hank
Lanterby. Pitch out and show US
where"
The barkeeper threw up one hand
as If he were warding off q blow.
"You cd have him in a holy minute,
for all O. me, Billy: you sure could"
he protested. But he's gone"
"On the leveI?" snapped Starbuck.
"That's straight: I wouldn't lie 70
you, Billy. Telephone call came from
town little spell ago, and I got Hank
Outa bed t. answer it. He borra'd
Barton's mare an faded inside of a
pair o. minutes"
(Which way?" demanded the Ques-
toner.
'T0 the hills; 1eastways he amt
headin' FIR town when he breaks from
here"
Starbuck turned to Smith with a wry
smile.
SHAW beat us to it and he scores
ion u.s." he said. 1--WE may as well
hike back, phone Williams to keep his
EYE on things up at the dam, and go
ito bed. Theren be nothing more do

 STRIKE IN FLANDERS
Sweep German Forces Back on Twenty Mile Front.

A joint blow by the British and French in Flanders swept the Germans uuI of twenty miles of first and second line trenches and in some instances the third line. The movement was north of the Lys river and may be the opening one of the long expected allied drive on that part of the front The British forces captured La Bas- seville in the first dash. All counter attacks were repulsed.
 This colossal battle began just be- fore dawn, in a mist and fog and un- der thick, low lying clouds. The Brit isia and French struck a simultaneous bEnw
 The attack itself began at 4 a. G. The artillery fire and barrage prepara- ton was absolutely unprecedented ill its violence anywhere on any front. It literally blasted away every vestige of the German front lines, and the advance into the hail of shells gave tlAe British but slight resistance.
 Heavy fighting, however, accompani- ed every inch of the way forward from tha first line The Germans fought desperately. All over the ground con- crete pill boxes,' as the Tommies have nicknamed the German machine gun turrets, poured their fire at the attackers and were not easily silenced
 gl1e enemy's protective barrage fire waa feeble and cratic, but later ii became more steady and accurate.
 Advices from Petrograd state that ii fs estimated that 100000 Russian troops are retreating. These constitute tue Eleventh and Seventh armies, witt tfsair reserves.
 The Eighth army, which is largely cavalry and not included in the fore goang figures, also is retiring. It's DO sifion is extremely critical.
 The Germans are straining every ef fort to capture while following up th' Eleventh and Seventh armies, and i looks as if the Eighth army might b' caught in bag.
