London, Jan. 2S-(Correspondencs of the Associated Press)-A nove- ment to lend practical first-aid to the farmers, orchardists and gardeners of France and Belgium whose land has been ravaged by war has been begun by the Royal Horticultural Society Of England. The King and Queen have given the scheme their patronage and 1t is being supported by all the lead ing horticulturalists in this coun- try.
 A fund is being raised to purchase agricultural implements and various materials and to send them to each of the devastated districts.
 The courageous French peasants are already at work trying to repair the damage done to their homes and farms. New scions have been graft ed on decapitated fruit trees and fields and gardens are being prepared for renewed cultivation.
 Like parts Of Northern France, Belgium is a country of small land holders who have raised intensive culture to a fine art. Before the war each district had it's horticultural speciality. Ghent favored azaleas and begonias, Brussels, roses and H. laos and chicory, and Aerschot was celebrated for its asparagus. IT the lowlands chief attention was paid to lettuce, radishes, melons and salad vegetables. Altogether five million acres of Belgium were under intensve cultivation when the Germans hack ed their way through the little state to attack France.

He says he's got to have Mir. Nor | ris' orders" said Baptiste. Lafe turned to Hilary, who took up the conversation. Ask him if he doesn't understand what I am here for" he suggested.
 Dupont was impregnable in his po- sition. He had lumber from both con- sessions, and Mir. Morris was in charge of both What orders had been left with reference to his freight?
 Lafe was pleased and surprised at the way Hilary took it. But Hilary had learned good deal during that morning.
 "That sounds reasonable" he said. "Give him MT. Morris orders, Connell, whatever they are" And, when the matter had been settled, he added: "You were dead right, Connell. We've get to settle with the big fellows first"
 He dropped Lafe at the mill and drove slowly homeward across the bridge thinking hard. There would probably be no trouble with Leblanc after he had shown that he was mas ter. And Lafe would be a pillar of strength. Hilary had instinctive faith in the slowspeaking Yankee.
 q must get little Baptiste on our side, too," he said aloud, as the buggy topped the hill beyond the bridge; and then he became aware of Madeleine Rosny upon her horse, at the end of the branch road, waiting for him to pass.
 Hilary felt uncertain and awkward. Ought he to raise his hat to her? A glance at her face showed him that she was perfectly aware who he was. It showed him firm chin, resolutely set two angry blue eyes, and flushed cheeks whose redness did not come from hard riding.
 He decided to bow. But before he did so the buggy had passed, leaving a path: and Mademoisele Madeleine, her face averted. started her horse down the hill. Hilary jerked the reins angrily. and the pony set off at gal lop for Monsieur Tremblay's stables. But before the final descent was reached Hilary was laughing. Some how the girls hostility seemed to add ZeSt to the game.
 "I don't know that I'll be so very diplomatic with Brousseau after all,' said Hilary, as he drew rein at the stable entrance.

CHAPTER liI.
Hilary Talks Business.

Hilary was smoking on the porch the next morning, formulating his plans, when he heard the bell on the side of the telephone box begin to ring dangerously. Then Monsieur Tremhlay came out and made 1t clear to Hilary that he was wanted.
 It was Lafe Connell calling.
 Say, Mir Askew," he said, "Tm 'phoning you from my boarding place. They came back yesterday afternoon; 1; the boat was late; maybe you didn't know. They've been cross-Questioning me and Baptiste all the morning. BrousSeau's just left. and Morris has ordered the storekeeper's rig to drive over to you in an hours time."
 Thanks, Connell," said Hilary. "Tm much obliged. I'm coming over."
 He reached the office just in time to see Morris emerge toward buggy which was drawn up before the door. Morris looked plainly disconcerted to see him.
 He was an older man than Hilayy had expected to meet. He seemed well on the shady side of fifty. He had elusive gray eyes, prominent but ll-defned nose, and a heavy, thready mustache. It was type Hilary knew intimately: The crooked business go- between.
 Mir Morris. I think" he said, de- scending and tieing the pony to the hitching post in front of the building. Morris held out his hand which Hil- ary took. with no great cordiality. II came back last night and heard you were here, Mir. Askew," he said. "I was just coming over to see you" 'I heard you were here," said Hill ary. 'I came to see you and talk things over"
 Morris. recognizing the situation, ac- | cepted it and turning back, pulled the key out of his pocket and opened the office door. Hilary sat down at the desk nearest the window, from which he could see the endless line of logs ascending the cogged chain that drew them into the mill flume l Morris took box of cigars from his desk drawer and offered 1t to Hilary, who declined. Morris chose one and, biting off the end. lit 1t. Hilary could see that his hand trembled a little. | Well, sir" he said, seating himself, "this is the last place in the world where I should have expected to see you. I have just heard from Mir. Lamartine that you intended to pay a visit to Quebec, but that letter was written some days ago. You didn't see him?"
 Two days before Hilary would have | jumped at the bait, would have shown his resentment of the lie, declared hos tility, and given Morris his cue. Now he only smiled pleasantly.
 "Yes, I saw him." he answered. "He tried to dissuade me from coming up here, but wanted to see the proper ty."
 "If you had let me know," said Nor ris, T could have made arrangements. You have come in the slackest month
