THE LADY EVELYN

A Story of Today
BY MAX PEMBERTON

"Tell me the truth! He is afraid
of me. Yes, there was always a cow
ards cloak ready for him. He knew
1t and played his part in spite of 1t.
He is afraid of me and sends you here
to say sol My friend, that man shall
yet fall on his knees before me. He
shall beg mercy, not for himself but
for another. When his daughter
God be thanked he has daughter
when his, daughter is my daughter
ha! we can reach many hearts
through the hearts of the women they
love. AS he did to me, SO will do to
this English girl he dotes upon. When
she is my sons wife!"
His laugh had horrid ring in it
broken, stunted teeth protruded from
his hanging lips, his hands trembled
upon the stick he carried. when she
is my sons wife!" He seemed to
moisten the very words with a tongue
lustful for vengeance. And Gavin
heard him with repulsion beyond all
experience, horror that made him
dread the very touch of such mans
fingers.
"Chevalier," he said at length, "the
Lady Evelyn will never be your sons
wife"
'Ha, a prophet, Tell me that you
are her chosen husband. and l will
ask you no second question"
II am her chosen husband and
return to England to marry her."
you return! Mein herr, am
madman that should open my gates
to one who does not even know how
to hold his tongue, Shall 1 send you
back to rob my son Of the rewards Of
his infidelity2 Return you shall-when
she is his wife. Until that time, mein
herr, consider yourself my guest"
He rose defiantly, brandishing his
stick.
Fool" he cried; fool to dare the
mountains which Zallony rules. AS
you came in folly, so shall you go
when the Englishwoman is in my sons
arms"
He turned, a laugh which was al
most a cry upon his lips, and tapped
his way from the apartment. Gavin
cbuld hear the sound of his footsteps
long afterwards, passing from corri-
dor, to corridor of the great bare
house,. but the words he had spoken
fingered and were echoed, as though
by spirit of vengeance moving in the
room.

CHAPTER XVII.
Eta Romncy's Retul !.

It was about half-past one upon the
afternoon of gloomy November day,
some three months after Gavin Ord
set out for Roumania, that a hanson
cab was driven up to the stage-door of
the Carlton Theatre; the Lady Eve
lyn, wearing heavy black furs and a
motor-veil, which entirely hid her face
from the passers-by, alighted timidly
and offered the cabman generous
fare. Deaf to the mans effusive as
surance that he had no other ambi-
ton in life but to drive the same fare
back to the place whence she came,
Evelyn entered the narrow alley
wherein the stage-door Is situated
and at once asked the stage-door keep
er II Mr.. Charles lizard was or was
not within the house. The simple
question provoked an answer that
might have satisfied diplomatist but
helped Evelyn not at all. y

go away.

Fowls to be used at home may be
killed more easily by choppIng of
their heads. The fowls may be either
dry picked or scalded. Dry-plcking
makes better-appearing market fowl,
but scalding, which is easier, ia often
preferred. II the bird is for honde use.
Dry-picking should be done !mmedi-
ately after the bird is killed, as the
feathers then come out more easily.
Be careful not to tear the skin. For
scalding, use water heated just below
the boiling point, immersing the fowl
two or three times, or until the feath-
ers pull OFF easily. but do not leave 1t
In so long that the skin scalds.
Cool the fowls after they are
picked. either by hanging them up in
cool place or soaking them in cold
or iced water. Fowls for market are
usually sold undrawn, but for home
or local use they NAV be drawn by re-

Good Suit Year

Never has there been better "suit

been just right-not too warm and not
too cold. And Just at this time, says
a New York fashion correspondent,
one sees the newest creations In the
wny OF winter suits and all-the-year-
round suits and fancy suits and plain
suits. After a few weeks have passed
the general horizon" will again be
dotted with varieties OF top coats and
fur wraps, etc, but right at this min
ute tile popular trend Is all in the d.
rection Of the suit. Then here is the
psychological moment to study the
suit, for the forward marching ones
are setting the styles for many months
to come and the little variances which
they show are the ones that are des-
tined to live. Thus does the wary
woman plan her dressing, so that
when she buys there will be no dan

Remove Diseased Wood.
Remove all the diseased or insect
eaten or water-soaked wood. In dis
eased areas of many yeass' standing
there may be only a tan shell of
healthy wood around the cavity, In
which case the tree must be braced
or guyed. and 1t is often better re-
moved and replaced by healthy one.
Do not leave a cavity so It will re-
tain water. In shaping n cavity that
is to be filed with cement, ETC., have
the sides undereut, il possible, so as
to hold the filling more firmly in place.
Inrolled bark at the edges OF the open
ing should be cut away after the de-
cayed and diseased matter has been
| completely eXcavated and the edges of
the sapwOod and bark adjoining the
| cambium shellacked. The remainder
of the cavity also must be sterllized.
| Creosote is recommended. Over this
a heavy waterproof covering should
be applied.
Filling the cavity is of much less i'm
| portance. Often a cavity is better left
untitled. A cavity must be watched
from year to year and any tendency
of the waterprooting to crack, split,
or blister should Immediately be coun-
teracted by repainting.
Where sheet-metal covering is used
there should be narrow half-inch
ledge of bare wood around the edge
10 which the mdTgin of the metal can
he tackled. The cavity must be thor
oughly sterilized and waterproofed,
and the sheet metal fitted tight at the
edges.
If long cavity is to be filled with
cement or asphalt. 1t usually Is advls-
able TO place one or more bolts
through It to hold the wood and filling
more firmly together. Long cavities
as rule. should be bolted every Is
or "a inches.
The most widely used material fol
filling cavities is cement, usually In
the form of cement mortar or con
crete. Under certain conditions as
pbalt and sawdust and sand used ir
combination with cement blocks ol
with wood would be better than eitheI
used separately, and they often ar'
more economical. Often large piece
of wood or smaller sectional pieces
can be fitted to the opening and the in
terstices filled with the plastic.

Tree surgery Is comparatively sim
pie and inexpensive and most persons
can, with little preliminary practice,
undertake the simpler types of tree
repair work that will prove immense
.ly profitable In saving fine trees. A
few fundamental principles must he
observed to secure permanently good
results.
(1) Remove tile dead, decayed, dis
eased or injured wood or bark. When
on limb this can often be done best
by removing the entire limb; on a
large limb or on the trunk 1t may
mean at times digging out the decayed
natter so that a cavity Is formed.
t2) Sterilize all cut surfaces.
(3) Waterproof all cut surfaces.
(4) Leave the work in the most fa-
vorable condition for rapid healing; {;
this will often mean filling or cover
Ing deep cavities.
(5) Watch the work from year to
year for defects and If any appear at
tend TO them Immediately.
Removing Large Limbs.
A large limb rarely should be re-
moved by a single saw cut from the
upper side, as this usually strips the
bark and wood as It falls. A prelim-
mary cut should be made from the un-
der side, beyond the point for the
| tin0l cut; and a second cut on the up
! per side an Inch or more beyond the
first one. Then cut the stub close to
the trunk. A coat of good shellac
should be applied over the entire area
OF the bark, outer sapwood, and the
cambium Immediately.
Creosote should be applied to the
rest of the exposed wood not already
covered by the shellac as protec.
tion, and the entire shellacked and
creosOted surface should be finally wa.
| terproofed with thick coal tar or as.
phait. Grating wax. particularly the
+, thick liquid alcoholic kind, is excel
lent for waterprOOfing small surfaces
Another good method Of treating the
scars is to char the surface with a
gasoline or alcohol blast torch and
then quickly cover the hot surface
with heavy tar, pitch, or hot asphalt
The treated surfaces should be
watched from year to year and recoat
ed as necessary to preserve the wa
terprOoflng.
In removing small branches ant
twIgs the cut should be made as clost
to the supporting branch as possible
so as to leave no projecting stub. The
pruning wound must be sterillzed anC
water-proofed. For very small wounds
shellac is handy.
When a wound has been allowed t.
remain untreated for a year or more
decay-produciEg organisms are almOs
certain to have started an area Of de
cay and insect activity behind the ex
posed surface. Such regions gen

Even at noon, the returns in the vari-

The opening of Dollar Day was an
nounced at 8 o'clock by a long blast
of the Red River Power company's
whistle, but long before that hour
there was a large number of anxious
women shoppers on the street. They
waited at the doors of several places,
where they sought special bargains.
and for a few minutes after trading
began, it was one, mat rush for the
counters.
