GOOD REASONS FOR PRUNING
First Object Should Be to Remove
Dead. Broken or Decayed Branches
Cut Out Spurs.

There are five reasons for pruning
fruit trees. The first object is to re-
move the dead, broken or decayed
branches. The operation may be done
to remove the annual growth so that
the habit of growth may be altered.
Branches may be removed to prevent
the breaking Of limbs or the disfigure-
ment of the tree in future years. Fruit
spurs and branches may be removed
20 prevent the spread of infectious
diseases. One of the foremost pur-
poses Is to cut down the annual
growth to reduce the crop in proper
tion to the capacity of the tree.

he saw that the bag was no longer
there. II stood now between the two
seats on the floor. and picking 1t up
and looking at It, he found 1t unfas-
tened and with marks about the lock
which told plainly that 1t had been
forced.
He set II on the floor between his
knees and checked over Its contents.
Nothing had been taken. so far as
he could tell; for the bag had con-
tained only clothing, the Chinese die
tionary and the box of cigars, and
these all apparently were still there.
He had laid out the things on the
seat across from him while. checking
them up, and now he began to put
them back in the bag. Suddenly he
noticed that one OF his socks was
missing; what had been eleven pairs
was now only ten pairs and one odd
sock.
This disappearance of a single sock
was SO strange, so bizarre, so per
picking that-unless II was acciden-
tal-he could not account for 1t at all.
No one opens n mans bag and steals
one sock. and he was quite sure there
had been eleven complete pairs there
earlier in the day. Certainly then, 1t
had been accidental: the bag had
been opened. its contents taken out
and examined. and In putting them
back. one sock had been dropped un-
noticed. The absence of the sock.
then. meant no more than that the
contents Of the bag had been thor
oughly Investigated. BY whom? By
the man against whom the telegram
warned Eaton2
Ever since his receipt of the tele
gram, Eaton-as he passed through
the train in going to and from the
diner or for other reasons-had been
trying covertly to determine which,
II anyone, among the passengers, was
the lone" who, the telegram had
warned him. was following" him.
For at first he had interpreted 1t to
mean that one of them" whom he
had to fear must be on the train.
Later he had felt certain that this
could not be the case, for otherwise
any one Of "them" who knew him
would have spoken by'this time. Now
his suspicious that one Of them" must
be aboard the train returned. .
The bag certainly had not been car
ried out the forward door of the car,
or he would have seen 1t from the
compartment Mt that end of the car
where he had sat smoking. The bag,
therefore, had been carried out the
rear door, and the man who had
opened 1t. II a passenger, must still
be in the rear part of the train.
Eaton, refilling his cigar-case to
give his action look of casualness,
got up and went toward the rear Of
the train. A porter was still posted
at the door OF the Santoine car, who
warned him to be quiet In passing
through. The car, he found, was en-
tlrely empty; the door to the drawing
room where Santoine lay was closed.
He went on into the observation
car. A few men and women passen-
gers here were reading or talking.
Glancing on past them through the
glass door at the end of the car, he
saw Harriet Santoine standing alone
on the observation platform. The
girl did not see him; her back was
toward the car. AS he went out onto
the platform and the sound Of the
closing door came to her, she turned
to meet him.
She looked white and tired, and

time. Il said nothing definite even
to the trainmen," he replied; land |
want you gentlemen TO promise me

His eyes shifted from the face of
one to another, until he had assured
himself that all agreed As Avery
left the car, Eaton found seat in
one Of the end sections near the draw
ing room. He did not know whether
to ask to leave the car, or whether he
ought to remain; and he would have
gone except for recollection of Har-
riet Santoine. Then the curtain at
the end of the car Was pushed further
aside, and she came IN.
She was ~ery pale, but quite con-
trolled, as Eaton knew she would be.
She looked az Eaton, but did not
speak as she passed; she went d.
rectly to the door Of the drawing
room, opened it and went in, followed
by Avery. The door closed, and for
a moment Eaton could hear voices in
side the room-Harriet Santoine's,
Sinclair's, Connery's. The conductor
then came to the door of the drawing
room and sent the porter for water
and clean linen; Eaton heard the rip
Of linen being torn, and the car be-
came filed with the smell of anti
septics.
Donald Avery came out of the draw
ing room and dropped into the seat
across from Eaton. He seemed deep
ly thoughtful-so deeply, indeed, as to
be almost unaware of Eaton's pres
ence. And Eaton. observing him.
again had the sense that Avery's alb.
sorption was completely in conse-

A long time passed-how long. Ea-
ton could not have told; he noted
only that during 1t the shadows on
the snowbank outside the window ap-
preciably changed their position. Fl
nally the door opened. and Harriet
Santoine came out, paler than before.
and now not quite so steady.
Eaton rose as she approached
them; and Avery leaped up, all con-
cern and sympathy for her immedi-
ately she appeared. He met her In
the aisle and took her hand.
"Was 1t successful, dear?" Avery
asked.
