ken to her like that. Even through the telephone the resentful note in his voice grated on her and mystified her.
 She was chained to her work-which, despite her agitation, she managed to wade through without any radical CT rors-until noon. The twelve-to-one intermission gave her opportunity to hurry up the street and buy a Gazette. Then. instead of going home to her luncheon. she entered the nearest res taurant. She wanted a chance to read, the paper until she was seated.
 A column heading on the front page caught her eye. The caption read |: Andrew Bush Leaves Money to Ste nographer." And under 1t the sub- head: "Wealthy Manufacturer Makes Peculiar Request to Miss Hazel Weir."
 The story ran full column, and had to do with his interment. There was a great deal of matter anent the prin- cipal beneficiaries. But that which formed the basis of the heading was codicil appended to the will few hours before his death. in which he did "give and beQueath to Hazel Weir, un- til lately in my employ, the sum of five thousand dollars in reparation for any wrong may have done her."
 Hazel stared at the sheet. and her face burned. She could understand now why Jack Barrow had hung up his receiver with a slam. She could picture him reading that article and gritting his teeth. Her hands clenched till the knuckles stood white under the smooth skin. and then quite ab- ruptly she got up and left the restau- rant even while waiter hurried to take her order. If she had been a man. and versed In profanity, she could have cursed Andrew Bush till his soul shuddered on its Journey through infinite space. Being a woman. she wished only quiet place to cry.

CHAPTER III.
An Explanation Demanded.

Hazel's pride came to her rescue be- for she was halfway home. Instinc- lively she had turned to that refuge, where she could lock herself in her own room and cry her protest against 1t all. But she had done no wrong. nothing of which to be ashamed. and when the first shock of the news ar ticle wore of. she threw up her head and refused to consider what the world at large might think. So she went back to the office at one o'clock and took up her work. Long before eve ming she sensed that others had read the Gazette. Not that anyone men, toned 1t. but sundry curious glances made her painfully aware of the fact.
 She had just reached the first land ing of her boarding house when she heard the telephone bell. and second or two later the landlady called.
 "Oh, Miss Weir! Telephone"
 Barrow's voice hailed her over the line.
 "rll be out by seven," said he. we had better take walk We can't talk In the parlor; there'll probably be a lot nf old tabbies there out of sheer curiosity"
 All right" Hazel agreed, and hung up.
 She dressed herself. Unconsciously the truly feminine asserted its domi- nance-the woman anxious to please and propitiate her lover. She put on dainty summer dress. rearranged her hair, powdered away all trace of the tears that insisted on coming as soon as she reached the sanctuary of her own room. And then she watched for Jack from a window that commanded the street.
 Barrow appeared at last. She went down to meet him before he rang the bell. Just behind him came a tall man in gray suit. This individual turned In at the gate, bestowing a nod upon Barrow and keen glance at her as he passed.
 "That's Grinell, from the Times" Barrow muttered sourly. "Come on ; let's get away from here. I suppose he's after you for an interview"
 Hazel turned in beside him silently Right at the start she found herself resenting Barrow's tone, his manner She had done nothing to warrant sus- picion from him. But she loved him, and she hoped she could convince him that 1t was no more than a passing un- pleasantness, for which she was mo- wise to blame.
 Hang it" Barrow growled, before they had traversed the first block. Here comes Grinelll suppose that old cat of landlady pointed us out. No dodging him now"
 There's no earthly reason why l should dodge him. as you put It." Ha- gel replied stiffiy. "Fm not an escaped criminal"
 Barrow shrugged his shoulders in a way that made Hazel bring her teeth together and want to shake him.
 Grinell by then was hurrying up with long strides. Hat in hand. he bowed to her. Miss Hazel Weir. I believer" he interrogated.
 "Yes," she confirmed.
 I'm on the Times, Miss Weir," Grinell went straight to the business in hand. You are aware. I presume. that MT. Andrew Bush willed you a sum of money under rather peculiar conditions-that is. the bequest was worded in peculiar way. Probably you have seen reference to 1t in the papers. It has caused great deal of interest. The Times would be pleased to have statement from you which will tend to set at rest the curiosity of the public.

HOME GARDENING

1t has been urged that home garden
ing projects be narrowed down this
year to the production of few staple
food products, such as beans, peas,
carrots, radishes, cabbage, potatoes,
corn, etc. This course is precisely
urged on the amateur gardeners. 1t
might be worth the while of some,
particularly the maturer of our
ould-be-producers to consider the
entire range of gardening possibilities
and select on the basis of what a good
piece of ground can produce all the
year round. By narrowing down pre-
maturely perhaps we shall overlook
some vegetable that would add mater
tally to the variety on our tables and
even serve as a health measure at a
time when varied menu is becom-
ing increasingly hard to manage. In
cidentally a more liberal choice might
add interest to the enterprise and en-
list a larger effort on the part of a
greater number.
large number of different garden
crops can be grown successfully in
the local soils and climate, such as
beans, beets, carrots, caulifiower, corn,
onions, parsnips, peas, potatoes, pump
kins, squashes, turnips. lettuce, rhu-
barb, celery, spinach, cucumbers,
radishes, and numerous others.
Every vacant lot or piece of land
should be turned into a garden spot
this spring. All those who get into
the garden work are serving their
country.

the cause of POLLUTION and say that
the installation of septic tanks to
