THIN ALL PLANTS IN GARDEN
Tall, spindIy, Unhealthy Conditions
/ Result Where Practice Is Not
Followed.

! Nearly all home gardeners plant
more seed than necessary, In order to
get full stand of plants. AS soon
as these are large enough to handle
easily, all excess plants should be
pulled out, leaving enough space be-
tween the plants remaining for the
vegetables to develop properly. If
this practice Is not followed, not only
do the crowded conditions cause tall,
spindly, unhealthy growth, but the ex-
cess plants act as weeds, using up the
plant food and moisture that should be
valuable for the crop.

CHAPTER l.
VIII o. the Wish.

As he sauntered from the train In
the rear Of the hurrying crowd of his
fellow passengers there was nothing
peculiar In his appearance. His
clothes were in good taste, his manner
quiet and well-bred, his look intelli-
gent, pleasant and Indifferent. On the
whole he gave every indication of be-
ing manly and attractive young gen.
tleman. He walked with the resilient
step Of an athlete In training-and in
his mid-twenties.
The gatekeeper told him where he
could check his suitcase. He started
across the arcade to enter the depot.
From outside the iron fence an ele-
gantly dressed young fellow beside the
nearest train waved hand to him and
called Familiarity: "Hello. old man |
Didn't know you were returning-what
the deucel"
The traveller, after u moments quiz
Acal scrutiny, had started on into the
depot without betraying the slightest
sign Of recognition. The young elegant
who had called to him flushed and bit
his lip. As quickly his shallow gray
brown eyes hardened and he recovered
his nonchalant pOlse. With a swift
ness that was masked by the utter lack
of hurry In his manner he slipped
through the gate and across the arcade
into the depot.
The sight Of the man he had ad-
dressed brought him to an abrupt halt.
He turned aside behind a pillar and
paused to light a cigarette. The tray
eler was at the checking counter de-
posting his suitcase. Having re-
celyed his check he turned away with
the bearing of one who is In a strange
place with no particular desire to do
anything.
Before he had taken half a dozen
steps he was rushed by a middle-aged
man who might have passed for a pro-
mOter or a cluhman of rather pro-
nounced tastes. "Why. howdy, Mr..
LOwrie Back In Denver again, / see,
and looking at as a fiddle. Glad your
stay east has done you so much good"
