watha heing an example, produce nu-
merous red hips" to use the bOtani-
J cal name for rose fruits.
Possibly the hawthOrns are more
properly classed as trees than as
shrubs, yet many of them are not very
large when full grown and prove a
great adQrnment to an ygarden. The
fact is that the buying public has new
er come to fully realize the value of
the thorn, of which this country has
a great number. Both the Washington
Thorn and the Cockspur Thorn have
delightful white flowers and great
quantities of brilliant scarlet mini
ture apples, which stay on the bran
ches until late in the winter; the
Scarlet Thorn is another kind, with
large fruits, and well adapted for
forming screens. For that matter,
most fthe Thorn Apples make good
screens or hedges, especially if the
owner desires to keep out intruders,
whether man or beast, for the barbs
with which the branches are supplied
are very strong and very sharp. The
best time to set out or transplant the
hawthorns is in the spring, when they
are much easier to handle with sue
cess than in the Fall.
Perhaps you know the Strawberry
bush, which is clothed with scarlet
berries in the Fall? Similar but better
both as to foliage and fruit is the
Spindle Tree, with the botanical name
of EuOnymus europaeus. In the same
family is the Winged Burning-bush
which is wonderfully handsome in the
Fall, not only for it's red fruit, but !
also for the brilliant crimson of the |
foliage. These different forms of the |
EuOnymus are among the most inter |
esting shrubs one can grow. When the |
fruit capsuls open, a tiny red or or
ange cOlOred ball is seen suspended
from minute thread and people are
often deceived at first into thinking
that these fruits are blossoms. The
Burning Bush is made dOubly inter-
esting by the fact that the branches
are covered with peculiar cork-like
bark.
In the same family is the hunning
form of EuOnymus often called the
bitter-sweet, which keeps
it's leaves all winter and can be used
to grow on walls of stone and brick
like ivy. When well established it,
too, has orange-red fruits and in the
you will find is listed as
Euonymus radicans vegetus.
Finally there are the barberries,
among the most useful of all shrubs
'or winter decoration, because of their
bright red berries, produced in the
most free-handed manner and retain
I'd all winter. Unfortunately the COM
non barberry and the purple barber
y must be excluded, as they are
charged with harboring wheat rust.
70 such complaint has been made
lgainst the Japanese barberry, how
,ver, fact for which we should be
for no shrub is more gener-
lily useful for making hedges, for
'lanting around the house or for bor-
ering walks, shrub that is depend

Luxurious Brocade instead

She called the clerks attention to what she
declared must be misprint on the pattern
envelope.
"Butterick Patterns" the clerk explained,
now call for less material than other pat
terms. That Is because of the Deltor en-
closed in your pattern envelope, which
shows you how to lay out the pattern in
your size on every suitable width of ma
terial-on this minimum yardage. That is
why this pattern calls for three yards rather
than four. That yard, madam, represents
the money that the beltor saves you on this
one gown" ~
And the money saved made possible the
coveted brocaded gown, instead Of one Of

the retiring slaves and musicians.
A girl laughed hysterically-ha-ha,
ha.ha.ha. Then something fell and
there was the tinkling sound of
shivered glass.
81 hate you!" said a voice-a
girls voice, breathless, half.sup-
pressed-carrying conviction.
A culver ran through David's
body. The voice was strange TO
him, yet he was clutched by an in
stinctive certainty.
He felt the blood go to his head,
and II was food Of pure, elemental
rage. Abandoning the column he
went forward into the hall of the
feast.
He paused. He felt rather than
heard the nearness of locked,
straining struggle. He CROPPED.
There was the crash of an over
turned piece Of furniture-a couch
or table.

He hardly recognized his own
voice. He had spoken aloud and as
though he challenged the glittering
ramparts of the embattled world,

half expected the roof with its
ropes OF garlands to crumble and
fall inward revealing the remote,
unsullied stars-leaving him and
the girl who held to him alone
among the ruins of the banquet hall
under the high dome Of the night.
Who in Hades are your" said a
mans voice quite close to him.
There was curious intonation
that limited at wine In it, and it was
a trife thick, as though passion
had taken the speaker by the
throat.
Instantly David saw red-blood-
red, and his perceptions blurred.
He was aware that the girl had
released him and was now behind
him. He lunged forward and his
shoulder struck the square shout
der of a man.
He was insane with rage-the
rage that kills with naked hands.
They swayed to and fro, each seek
ing to throw the other, with no
breath for words.
The man whom David had crap

after another with wonderful
rapidity, David remained, motion
less, by the garlanded column.
He saw a young woman, her black
hair dressed in Greek fashion, dis
card her upper garment, and crush
a cluster Of roses against her
breasts, swaying with the giddiness
OF wine. Little bells tinkled sweet,
ly, and following the sound with
his eyes he saw the girl who had

her mouth to a young drunken
Greek.

TO DETECT CRIMINALS
French Detective Invents Two
Sciences to Do Work.
Poroscopy and Graphometry Promise
to Make Way of Transgressor
Harder Than 1t Is.

Paris. - PoroScopy and graphOme
try are two new sciences" intended
to make the way of the transgressor
harder than it is. Poroscopy is the
science of measuring the pores of the
body. GraphOmetry is the science of
form and relative proportion of let
tiers in handwriting
Dr. Edmund Locard, head of the
Lyons police laboratory of identifi-
cation, has elaborated these new meth
DDS Of crime detection to a. point where
the results have been accepted in the
Lyons courts and are said TO have been
proved effective.
In poroscopy, Doctor Locard holds
the number, form and position of body
pores remain the same throughout
life. The impression of the pores in
Doctor Locards system is coored by
chemical vapors or very fine powders
so they may be photographed under
microscope
Doctor Locard tells of several sue
cessful prosecutions supported by his
new sciences. In one case burglar
wore gloves but left an impression of
small surface of forearm. That
trace convicted him. Another burglar
perspiring freely. left the impression
OF pore surfaces through his gloves
and went to jail.
Graphometry, as termed by Doctor
Locard, consists primarily in the the
DRY that handwriting shows always a
certain relation in size between let
ters and unmistakable characteristics
In form, particularly in loops. In adj
dition to these principles Doctor Lo-
card, Of course, utilizes generally ac-
cepted methods of detecting forger-
les.
