The detective chief looked upon the white

the table, the places set for Two and the
ndisputable evidence that whoever had
used the table had dined very well indeed
Instantly the great detective realized that
he was face to face with a profound mys

And at the same instant in No POS the

1t was Mr. Frank J. Gould, the New York

But what of the room between--Room

part of Frank Gould's lawyers. Mrs Gould
must choose which horn Of the dilemma
to be gored upon
If Mrs Gould admits that unpleasant
occasion of the alleged raid of her apart

mess was dropped into a police court
then she confesses misconduct and for

But If Mrs. Gould decides to swear tina,

Mr.. Gould fatty denied the charges. But
Senior Cassasus asserts that during his stay
at the hotel he found the servants atten;..
ing to Mr.. Gould's apartments were gen
timely under the impression that Mr.. Gould
and Mile. Lacaze were not entire strangers.
So much for the story of the two raids
on those October days three years ago in
Paris.
There seems every prospect that the
battle of the Gould divorce will be fought
all over again in the New York courts
Already the Frank Gould lawyers have
gathered quantity of ammunition to sup
port their contention in regard to the raid
and court proceedings in that Paris police
court. Certified copies of the testimony
and statements from the French gen.
Garmes who were present are already
here.
And 1t is not to be supposed that Mrs
Frank Goulds lawyers have overlooked
the gathering Of certified copies of all
documents connected with the raid on Mr.
Goud's apartments These melodramatiC
episodes furnished an agreeable diversion
TO the readers of the Paris newspapers
and were such success that it is probable
that the two little comedy tragedies will
be repeated in testimony in the New York
courts
Will Mrs. Gould deny the story of that
raid and challenge her husband to produce
the record Of the Paris police court?
Or will Mrs. Gould admit the truth OF
the story Of that raid and risk the painful
impression 1t will make upon Justice
Guy and the possible collapse OF her di.
vorce suit and that claim for Sl60,000?
But whatever doubt there may be about
anything else there is no doubt that it's
fat bone for the lawyers to gnaw on.

rimonal and private affairs But it also
now develops that his divorced wife, Mrs.
Edith Kelly Gould, also seems to have
ived in something of glass house" and
her little private affairs are now thrown
open 10 the public to look in upon.
Mr.. Gould married and divorced his first
wife and then married Miss Edith Kelly,
an actress. In due course of time scandals
arose, and the second wife began to say
all sorts Of unpleasant things about Mr..
Gould, and he. in turn, replied that she
was just as bad
Things went on from worse to worse
until Frank Gould brought suit and re.
Gently got decree of divorce from his
second wife, Edith Kelly Gould. They were
both living in Paris at the time and Mrs
Gould refused TO accept the authority Of
the French courts.
So she came over to New York and start.
ed a divorce suit of her own in the Amer.
ican courts. and her lawyers set forth in
their complaint the claim that Gould was
still her husband and owed her $3.50 900
for her support since Gould separated from
her and stopped sending her any money.
II has been an interesting and profitable
legal game Of the lawyers The game
started four years ago in Paris and Franks
lawyers seem 10 have taken most of the
tricks in the game ever since.
But after Edith packed up and came to
New York and started a brand.new suit for
divorce against Frank, claiming that the
French courts had no right to he handing
around divorce DEGREES to American citi.
zens. it looked as If Edith's lawyers were
going to take a few tricks in the game
themselves.
But Franks lawyers manoeuvred Edith
into a very embarrassing predicament 4
few days ago when they filed an answer t.
Edith's divorce complaint, and said that
Edith had been caught in a room in Paris
with a man named Cassasus and that she
had admitted It, according to the testi.
mony in a police court in Paris.
Mr.. Goulds lawyers asked Justice Guy,
Of the New York Supreme Court, to issue
an order directing Mrs. Gould TO eithet
admit or deny under oath whether it was
true that she was caught and admitte
misconduct in Paris.
Now that was clever manoeuvre on the

Then II came to Mrs. Gould's ears thai
her husband had taken three sumptuously

Senior Cassasus be so obliging as to find
out what was going on? With knightly
chivalry he undertook the mission.

by room 210, was occupied by Mile. Flor.

There was an impression about the

was occupied by Mrs. Bennett" But.
as Mrs. Gould says, this impression was
later found by the authorities to be in
accurate. This mysterious MRS. Bennett"
would seem to be some sort of camoufage.
After the dramatic episode which re.
suited in the finding OF Mrs. Gould and
Senior Cassasus, the time seemed ready to
call Mr.. Gould to account. How fortunate
that Senior Cassasus already knew all
about those apartments OF Mr.. Gould! 1t
was somewhat necessary, too, because.
while the decision Of the court In finins

plums with a certain amount OF color
on them, sell the next best. Plums
of green color are the hardest of
all to dispose Of, no matter how fine
the fruit may be. Markets for them
do not seem available in the entire
southern part of this state and where
there is any Mexican trade. The
first plums on the markeG here are
the Shiros, ripenfng at the end of
May. They do well but must be
sold at somewhat distant points. as
they are small yellowish- green fruit
without other color. The Simon and
Wickson plums are the well known
Gamers and both bear magnificently
here. The latter especially grows to
very large size and is in great de-
mand for canning purposes, for which
it is only suited. In this climate, it
doesn't color up as in California, but
remains a grass green. Considering
everything, the Santa Rosa is the
finest plum grown here. A large deep
purple plum, it is prolific and regu-
lar bearer and sells on sight every
where. The larger fruit can be
shipped and the smaller plums make
the finest of jams and jelles. The
Satsumas, the well known Japanese
lood plums, also do well in this val

Fine PIums Grown

Enough of the standard varieties of
plums grow here to unhesitatingly
pronounce the valley as one of the
finest plum growing localities in the
country, and to express the opinion
that in time many fine commercial
orchards will follow the present plum
pioneers Of the valley. Paintings OF
two year old nursery trees, on peach
stock for the sandy loans, and on
myrobolan stock for the heavier
soils, will bring a first small crop
when the trees have been three years
set. The pollination of plums is a
very important question to have
carefully arranged, as certain vari-
eties have tendency to self -sterility.
Therefore the orchard should be laid
out so that the varieties which are
known to pollinate each other are
placed near one another. When Sc
lecting trees, a trustworthy nursery
man should be consulted on this vital
matter. The available markets
should be carefully studied so that
an outlet will be at hand for the par
ticular varieties you contemplate set
ting out. AS a general proposition,
red plums sell the best of all and in
practically every market. Yellow

are ready for the market around May
Is and find a good sale by reason OF
their early appearance. The Royals
and Blenheims follow ten days to
two weeks later and, by reason of
their splendid qualities, always sweep
the market before the California fruit
arrives. These two varieties are
very productive and dependable bear
ers, with apparently few diseases IN
this climate and an indifinite bearing
career. The Moorpark, the largest
and probably the finest OF all the
apricots, has proved somewhat of a
disappointment to all the local grow
ers. 1t is distinctly a shy bearer IN
this climate, almost to the extent OF
being classed as an alternate bearer
and has turned out to be a poor
shipping proposition. The fruit
ripens very rapidly and its golden
flesh is so delicate and juicy that it
does not readily stand shipment and
handling. Those contemplating the
planting of a commercial apricot
orchard are advised not to put out
Moorparks when other entirely satis-
factory varieties are available. For
the home garden, however. nothing
finer could be found for portion OF
the planting.

ley, and find a ready market for all
purposes. The Burbanks and Climax
have been tested out here; they are
large golden plums with red cheeks
and make wonderful table fruit. In
experiments with the latter, a bad
tendency to twin would seem to make
1t advisable to go a bit slow about
setting out many of them until fur
ther period of trial. Plums of the
Abundance, Gaviota, Kelsey and
Gonzales varieties are being expert
mented with now and give every in
dication, especially the latter, of
proving suitable to this climate. Of
the stone deciduous fruits, 1t would
seem that apricots and plums, of
tried varieties, may be safely set
down as profitable commercial ven
lures, with established markets near
at hand. A final word of caution
will be to buy of first class nurs-
eryman and provide ample capital
for at least five years of watchful
waiting. 1t is also highly advisable.

CARE or FRENCH WAR ORPHAN
Ar1onne Associations Plan May Be
Used for unfortunates in
United States.

A plan for the care and training of
French war orphans worked out by
the Argonne association. an organiza-
tion formed as permanent memorial
to the Americans who fought In
France, is said to be functioning so
satisfactorily that similar organiza-
ton may be formed for the care of
orphans in the United States.
The Argonne association was formed
In 1918 by group Of Americans in
terested In French orphans. 1t has as
Its motto: "To provide for the child
who has no parents, a home and a
family life; to secure him his birth
right of health; to educate him and
train him TO earn a livelihood; to de-
velop his character that he may be-
come useful and an upright citizen
and to do these things so well and so
economically that others shall follow
this examples the aim of the Ar
gonne association"
The orphans cared for under the as
sociation's plan are placed in private
homes in Il community where they are
really wanted. They are not "farmed
out" There is a community school,
playground and vocational training
center where the children are daily
brought together to get their mental
and physical development. There are
