'Well?" asked Mark crisply.
Hartley grinned. 81 didn't take the

he said.

The man seemed to be trying to spin
out the interview for some indefinite
purpose. Mark turned on his heel.
His temper was not of the best just
then, and Hartley was the last man
in the world whom he wanted to see.
"AIl right" he answered. "Steer

Go back Never mind mel Go back

ley.
He broke past Mark with Il sudden,
spasmodic movement, gained the door,
and ran down the corridor. Mark
looked after him in stupefaction. Hart
ley had not been drunk, and his pres
ence there had seemed purposeless.
Suddenly, with an intuition of danger.
he hurried through the clerks Office,
unlocked his door, and entered.
The room was filed with a furious
gust of wind. The mobilization papers
were whirling on his desk in front OF
the open window.
The circular fan, which had been
distributing a gentle breeze impair
TALLY from side to side, now poured
its current of air Immediately upon
Marks desk. The rotary movement
had been stopped, and it had been SET
to maximum speed
And this was not the small fan Gus
tomarily in use In the little Office, but
a large one from the clerks room.
When Mark had left to interview
work through the glass door that CON
nected their two Offices Now Keller
mans desk was vacant.
Mark slammed down the window
there were two locks, and Mark and
Kellerman had each a key. Nobody
could have entered.
But Mark was positive that Keller
man had set the fan. 1t stood on q
shelf against the partition. Looking
up, Mark saw that there was q tiny
hole Immediately behind it. large
enough to permit an inserted wire to
push back the lever that controlled the

been nothing but a wormhole in the

stopped the fan and ran back to his

CUCUM BERS.

The soil for cucumbers should be
rich sandy loan, rather moist but not
wet. The seeds may be planted in
berry baskets or on sOds in the hotbed
and these transferred to the open
ground, or the seed may be placed di-
rectly in the ground. Considerable
time will be saved by starting the
plants in the hotbed In either case
they should not be placed in the open
until the ground has warmed up,
which will be about four weeks after
the last killing frost in the spring.
They may be planted in hills A feet
apart each way or drilled in rows Z
feet apart in the rows. 1t is good
plan to use an abundance of well-rot-
ted manure in the holes or in the rows.
Cucumbers should receive frequent
shallow cultivation until the vines be-
gin to run freely; after this very little
cultivation is required. They are ready
for use as soon as large enough, and
no fruit should be allowed to ripen on
the vines. 1t is advisable to spray
.cucumbers with Bordeaux mixture, as
they are quite liable to be injured by
diseases.
For a full discussion of insects and
diseases affecting cucumbers and rem
edies for them, see Farmers Bulletin

Insect Enemies of the Home Vegetable

LATE CABBAGE.

Late cabbage Is usually grown as a
crop following early potatoes, peas or
some other crop that leaves the ground
free for about one-half the growing
season. The plants may be grown in
the seedbed, it being necessary to sow
the seed some three or four weeks
before it is desired to set them in pO
Sition in the garden. 1t is an excel
lent plan to follow early potatoes with
late cabbage, as none of the insects
that affect early potatoes are liable
to modest the late cabbage, and it is
possible to set the plants between the
potato rows some two or three weeks
before the potatoes are dug. In this
manner sufficient time is gained to
permit the cabbage to reach maturity
before hard freezing weather occurs
in the fall.
The rows should be about 3 feet
apart and the plants some feet
apart in the rows. Slight freezing
does not iniure cabbage, but it should
not be subjected to repeated freezing
and thawing. Late cabbage can be
stored by taking up plants and pack
ing them closely together in a trench,
nlacing a frame of boards or poles
around the trench, some supports
across the top, and covering the whole
with straw or corn fodder. The heads
NAV be removed as needed and the
roots and stems left in position in the
trench. These will furnish an album
dant supply of green's in early spring.

CELERY.

Celery seed should be sown in the
hotoed or window box about the time
or the last frosts in the spring. The
seed is very slow In terminating and
the plants are small and delicate.
Ihey are improved by transplanting
at least twice.
celery requires a deep, rich, moist
soil with plenty of well-rotted manure
or fertilizer and frequent shallow cul-
tlvation. In the garden, celery may be
planted after some early crop, such as
lettuce, radishes or peas. AS soon as
the plants attain considerable size the
leaves should be drawn together and
little soil cOmpacted about the base
or the plant TO hold it upright. If the
blanching is done with earth, care
should be taken that the hearts of the
plants do not become filed. Boards,
paper or other material may be used
for blanching, but earthing up will pro-
duce the finest flavor.
Celery may be stored and kept for
winter use by placing it in old hotbeds,
and covering it with fodder or straw ;
In trenches covered with coarse ma
nure or straw; in outdoor cellars; or
In the storage room in the basement.
Celery will test the skill of the gar
dener about as severely as any crop he
may choose to grow, but no garden
product pays better for painstaking
care and effort than this crop.

SWEET CORN.

Plant sweet corn about the time of
the last killing frost in spring and
make 8 or successive plant
ings at intervals of two weeks.
From quarter pint to half pint
of seed is sufficient for a hundred
foot row. Plant the seed in drills 8
feet apart and thin to single stalk
every 10 to IA inches, or plant to
6 seeds in hills 8 feet apart each way,
and thin out to to stalks in
hill Cover the seeds about 2 inches
deep. Cultivate frequently, taking
care to remove all suckers from around
the base of the stalks.
