 Graydon bent over her hand with unexpected gallantry. "Good-by, Miss Priscilla" he an- swered quietly.
 The girl laughed almost hysteri- cally. "You have the name wrong, MT Graydon. It's Elsie, not sPriscilla'.'
 Graydon laughed aloud. "No, ma'am, it's Priscilla! YOu see, Pm going to do Q John Alden right now, | think I've seen enough of you young people to understand the situation. You're pretty fond of this big Swede, aren't yOu, Miss PrisciIla?"

Hiding Ugly Buildings

Many yards have unsightly garages or other small buildings that it is desirable to hdie or ugly board fences to disguise. Annual vines and some of the taller-grow- ing annuals are admirable to use as screens in such cases.
 The best annual to hide an un- slightly object quickly is the castor bean, the most majestic annual in the flower lists. The Zanzibar types are particularly fine. With the first warm days, the castor bean starts sending out it's huge palmate leaves and spinning Ap a thick. sturdy stalk until 1t is six to eight feet tall with a wide spread.
 The tall annual sunfiowers of the fashioned, familiar Rus sian" type now comes in shades of red and full doubles. which make majestic ornaments of height and form a substantial screen.
 Then there are the annual vines, the morning glory being the quick est and most effective, and quickly covering any trellis or screen arr ranged for it. by grabbing any sup port in sight if none is furnished The Japanese morning glories of- fer 6 wonderful range of coloring and marking, particularly the im- perial strain.

MARRIAGE PERFORCE

"Want to stop and see her? Tell her good-by?" persisted Graydon.
 The immigration inspectors pro- test was cut short, as the detective snarled at him: ''Shut up, Smith. I'm running this"
 He turned back to the prisoner. The latter's face was shining. "Pd like 1t very much, sir"
 "All right. Put on your hat and come along. Smith can wait here. I'll go with you. We can't leave you alone, you see-that's orders. But you can introduce me as a friend and tell her anything you want to-" .4

"How long is that liable to be?" he asked.

 The little detective shook his head--and the hope died in Harold Olsen's eyes even before he spoke.
