CHAPTER XIV.
"The Jewel, Are MIne,~

To this day I've never quite reeuv-
cred from the astonishment and cha
grin when on waking up In the morn
ing l reviewed the case with a re-
freshed mind and realized with what
ease De Ravenol had Imprisoned both
Mrs. Delario and me In our own homes
and had us quaking in our boots in
fear Of our very lives!
Monsieur had managed Mrs. Delario
even better than he had me-he had
merely left a detective In her house
to watch her by day and lock her up
by night. In fact. she'd actually in
vited the detective in proof of her in
nocence; for when monsieur had ac-
cused her of stealing jewels she saw
in her minds eye-just as did-trin-
kets, jewelry; and the idea that he
was referring to seven unset diamonds
Gagged in her slipper never entered her
head.
"You have accused me of shocking
crlme-a crime that offends every prin-
ciple of decency as well as MORALS"
she told him with spirit. land I now
insist that you convince yourself of
my innocence before you leave the
house. Here is the key to my bed
room-here is the passkey to all the
other rooms. Have your man watch me
while you examine everything-every-
thing-and then you must get wOm-
an to search me-"
This unsolicited action. her fiat de-
nial and his finding the slipper where
she'd carelessly dropped 1t In her ward
robe threw the scent on me. In two
hours monsieur convinced himself that
she did not have the diamonds and
knew nothing about them, and he then
requested her-as the proof OF her
nOncomplicity-to let him lock her in
her room and send for me! And she
| didn't dare to refuse!
And there you have, simple as

BATTLE ON BARBERRY

Approximately 100000 Plants
Destroyed in 1919.

Are Attacked.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Approximately 100000 common
barberry bushes were dug up and de-
stroyed during 1919 in connection with
the combined efforts Of federal and
state authorities to protect wheat
against black stem rust which cannot
survive unless 1t is able to spend one
period in its life cycle on the leaves
of the common barberry. For this
work the past year the federal gov
ernment appropriated $15O,O0O. The
territory in which the fight was car
ried on comprises Colorado. Indiana,
Illinois. Iowa, Ohio, Michigan. Mime
sofa, Montana, Nebraska. North Da-
kota, South Dakota. Wisconsin and
Wyoming, which states supplemented
the federal funds to considerable de-
gree. The combined expenditures were
small in comparison with the size of
the menace to wheat production by
in the United States department of
agriculture estimate that the wheat
crop of 1919 in the United States was
reduced 53,OO0,0OO bushels by black
stem rust alone in addition to damage
by scab and other diseases. This dam
age by black stem rust has only been
exceeded in one previous season,
namely in 1916, when the total reduc-
tion of the wheat crop by this disease
was 2O0OO0.OO0 bushels. In addition
to the 1919 loss of 53,OO0,0OO bushels
of wheat due to ravages of black stem
rust, there was loss of 17,4OO,OOO
bushels of oats and 100000 bushels
of barley due to the same cause.

cuItivating After Rains.
The soil should always be cultivated
Just as soon as 1t is sufficiently dry to
be safely worked after heavy rains. II
1t is not cultivated, a crust forms, the
surface bakes and the crops are in
jured. The same will apply where ir-
best to give the soil thorough soak
ing, then cultivate as soon as 1t is dry
enough, and apply no more water un-
til absolutely necessary.
The hoe and the steel rake are the
most important tools for cultivating
the small garden. On a larger scale
a wheel hoe and a horse cultivator
may be used to advantage. Even
where horse-drawn tools are OCCASION
ally used, the greater part of the
work, especially during dry weather,
may be performed by means of a COM
mon steel rake. It is not necessary
to go very deeply into the soil, but
merely to stir the surface.
A Tool That Helps.
A handy little tool for loosening the
soil can be made from a piece Of thin
board two inches wide and fourteen
inches long, with one end whitfield
down to form handle and the Oppo-
site end provided with three No. 9 or
No. 3 box nails or wire brads. This
little homemade implement can be
used very soon after a rain to loosen
the surface, so that any small seeds
can break through. The wheel-hoe
outfits are provided with number of
different shovels and scratchers
adapted for the different types of work
to be performed. These implements
have the advantage that one can go
over the garden very rapidly and
break up the surface of the soil in a
comparatively short time. 1t is gen.
orally necessary, however, to follow
with the hoe to remove any weeds that
have been destroyed by the wheel cul-
tivator.
XIII Weeds Young.
1t should be borne In mind that the
time to kill weeds is when they are
just coming through the ground. If
allowed to become established. 1t is
much more difficult to get rid of them
than If they are taken in time. II the
top two inches of soil is kept con-
tinuously and thoroughly loosened. no
serious difficulty in keeping out weeds
is probable.

prepared by the United States Depart

Most people have an idea that gar
dens are cultivated solely for the pur-
pose Of killing weeds. As a matter of
fact, the killing of weeds is just one
object of garden cultivation, say the
specialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture. The roots of
plants require air just the same as do
the tops. and IL the ground is packed
or hard or Is sunbaked over the sur
face after beating rain, the roots of
the plants will turn yellow, and IL not
cared for will die. The same thing is
true where the land is poorly drained
and waterlogged. The water keeps
out the air and the roots cannot feed
the plants.
Cultivation has another object. in
that 1t breaks up the soil particles
and makes plant food available for
the feeding rootlets of the plants.
