YOUR GARDEN
BY E. VAN sENTHuYsEN.

About the. middle Of August sow
seeds OF mignonette, putting four or
five seeds in each pot Cover with a
thin cloth after watering well and
keep the cloth moist until the seed
llngs appear.
Save two seedlings and keep them
growing until they are In six-inch pots.
These should bloom all winter. Give
the stalks support.
During August and September plant
cyclamen seeds in shallow boxes or
pots. Give them a gentle heat and a
light, sandy soil. These seeds ger
inmate slowly and when the seedlings
are large enough to handle they should
be transplanted to pots and placed in
a bright spot away from the sun.
BE sure TO sow seeds of the follow.
ing perennials early this month: Pan
sizes, columbines, English daisies, and
larkspur. The following biennials
may be planted before the middle Of
the month: Foxglove, sweet william,
hollyhocks, Canterbury bells, Iceland
poppy, primrose, and wallfower.
All these biennials should be pro-
tected against the alternate thawing
and freezing of winter, They must
he transplanted to their permanent
homes In September. The wallhower
must have protection during the win
ter.
Cyclamen raised from seed is a slow
process, taking 16 months instead of
six months the bulb takes. You will
have plenty of blooming plants for
if you order the bulbs now,
Seeds of primrose can be started in
a good garden soil with plenty Of fine
leaf mold set in a shallow pan that
has good drainage. Plant the seeds on
this surface and sift over them dust
ing of soil and cover the pan with a
piece Of glass. Keep the plants wet
by setting the pan in a pan Of water
Do not let the sun shine directly on
he glass but put the pan in a good
light.
Dig your lily beds two feet deep,
have them well drained and made |
light with some leaf mold. Place o
,ulb or two of Madonna lilies in q
iix-inCh pot and place 1t In the Dor
Ter and in about six weeks time take
t up and place it in a sunny window
md you will have lilies for Christ.

Then she apologlzed gently to the
Ladies', and the conversation went on,
but Prudence was uncomfortably con
sclous OF keen and quizzlcal eyes
turned her way. Evidently they
thought she was too lenient.

in my heart that 1t wasn't"
The meeting progressed, and the
business was presently disposed Of,
So far things were not too seriously
bad, and Prudence sighed in great re-
lief. Then the Ladies' took out their
sewing, and began lndustriously work
ing at many articles, designed for the
clothing of a lot Of young MethodstS
confined in an orphans home in Chi
cago. And they talked together pleas
nntly and gayly. And Prudence and
Fairy felt that the cloud was lifted.
But soon 1t settled again, dark and
lowering. Prudence heard Lark run

gave her. Why was Lark going up
stairs2 To be sure, her mission nigh

run the risk. Fortunately she was sit.
ting near the door.
Lark !" she called softly. Lark
stopped abruptly and something fell
to the floor.
Lark !"
The Ladies' smiled, and Miss Carr
laughing lightly, said, "She Is an atten-
tive creature, isn't she?"
Prudence would gladly have flown
out into the hall to settle this matter
but she realized that she was on eXhi-
bition. Had she done so, the Ladies
would have set her down forever after
as thoroughly incompetent-sh could
not go! But Lark must come to her
Lark ~ This was Prudence's most
awful voice, and Lark was bound To
heed.
"Oh, Prue," she said paintvely, "Tll
be there in a minute. Can't you wait
just five minutes? Let me run up
stairs first, won't you? Then I'll come
gladly! Won't that do?'
Her voice was hopeful. But Pru-
dence replied with dangerous calm:
"COme at once, Lark"
"All right, then" and added threat

Then Lark opened the dOOr-a woe

REALLY NO TROUBLE AT ALL
Druggist Found It Easy to Decipher
Handwriting That Had Proved
Puzzle to Drummer.

John Carpetbags was one of the
most successful travellers on the road.
On one occasion he was sent out by
his people to try to get an order from
a big firm which gave all it's orders to
rival firm.
Such were his persuasive powers
that within half an hour he had Sc
cured a big order in the handwriting
Of the senior partner.
Unfortunately, this gentleman pos
sessed such an atrocious style of calig-
raphy that not a word was legible.
However, Carpetbags remembered that
druggists can usually read anything
in the way Of handwriting because of
their wide experience with doctors
prescriptions so he handed in the
letter to the local druggist.
II wonder if you can read that?"
he asked
The druggist took it and returned to
the back of the shop. Ten minutes la
ter he reappeared with Il small bottle
wrapped in paper and sealed
"Oh, yes, sir! 1t was quite easy
Here's yolT medicine! Fifty cents,

CARVING Il Too Ear.

Mr.. Curran and Mr.. McManus spent
their Saturday half holiday in artistic
pursuits. Among the objects exam
ined was a new public building. The
feature of the building that appealed
most strongly to Mr.. Curran was an
inscription cut into a huge stone.
"MDCCCXCVIU," he read aloud.
"What does them letters name, TimT
"That," replied the cultured Mr.. Nc.
Manus, Stands for 1S9S."
"Oh," Mr.. Curran replied. Then, aft.
er a thoughtful pause, he added:
Don't yez think, Tim, that they're

streaked with good rich Iowa mud.
Her clothes were plastered with it. One
shoe was caked from the sole to the
very top button, and great cash in
her stocking revealed a generous pOr-
ton of round, white leg.
Poor Prudence! At that moment she
would have exchanged the whole par
sOnage, bathroom, electric lights and
all, for a tiny log cabin in the heart
of a great forest, where she and Lark
might be alone together
And Fairy laughed Prudence looked
at her with tears in her eyes, and then
turned to the wretched girl.
"What have you been doing, Lark 2"
The heartbreak expressed in the face
of Lark would have made the angels
weep. Beneath the smudges of mud
on her cheeks she was paIlid, and, try
as she would, she could not keep her
chin from trembling ominously. Her
voice, when she was able to speak, was
barely recognizable.
"We-we-we are making-mud
images, Prudence. lit was awfully
messy l know, but-they say-it is
such a goOd-and useful thing to do.
We've didn't expect-the-the La
dies to see us"
Mud images" gasped Prudence,
and even Fairy stared incredulously.
"Where in the world did you get hold
of an idea like that?"
"It-it was in that-that Mothers
Home Friend paper you take, Pru-
dence." Prudence blushed guiltily ut
was modelling in clay but--we haven't
any clay, and-the mud is very nice,

I-I-Connie pushed me in the-puddle |
for fun" Another appealing glance |
into her sisters face, and Lark plunged |
on, bent on smoothing matters if she
could. "Carol isis just fine at it, !
really. She-she's making Venus de
Milo, and it's good. But we can't re-
whether her arm is Off at the |
elbow or below the shoulder" An
enormous gulp, and by furious blinking
Lark managed to crowd back the tears
that would slip to the edge of her
ashes, I--I'm very sorry, Prudence"
Very Well, Lark, you may so. do

Thieves, Insurance Plan.

A thieves mutual aid society has
sprung up in London. It's aim is to
pay police court fines inflicted on
thieves. Offenders are insured against
fines, paying toward the support of
the society as they would in a life in,
surance proposition.
1t is said that both honest and dis
honest men have dubbed together to
make livelihood from the business
done by the society. They appoint an
official called 'the banker" who col
lects the money, and it is his duty to
attend the court and pay the fines.
In one case a youth caught stealing
had in his possession a card showing
subscriptions to the amount of f2 for
use in paying fines of friends found
guilty Of theft.

hungry. Prudence slowly opened wide
the doors, and-stOOd amazed The
Ladies' clustered about her, and stood
amazed also. The dining room was

The three young modelers looked up
In explanatory CONSERVATION as the

"Oh, are you ready?" cried Carol.
How time has flown We had no idea
you'd be ready so soon. Oh, we are

everything fixed properly for you again.
We needed fiat place for our model

Prudence silently closed the doors,
and the Ladies, laughing significantly,
drew away.

Mrs. tsentiss too sweetly, that they
are a little more than you can manage?
Don't you really think an older woman
