CHAPTER 80

WELL, thank goodness it's
nothing WORSE" said Colonel Ora
ham when Reid blamed his hasty
exit from Graham's house on the
locked doors and windows and it's
liqueuers. you've killed my two
best dogs but you had to defend
yourself can see that. You
know, Reid, I really think that it
would be better if we keep this
matter to ourselves-what do you
say? We neither of us cut much
of a fgure-I suppose ought to
have told Coats to take the hounds
back, and don't expect you want
everyone to know that you got
frightened and ran away"
Perhaps it would be as well.
But I'm not good at inventing.
Can you suggest a plausible tale 2"
LET me see .. Yes, you in
sisted on starting for home in
spite of the weather, but lost your
way and fell down and got injured.
Then you came here, where found
you. That's essentially true, and
Will pass uluSI0T.
eff you think that is the best
thing to do, We'll tell it that way"
Reid said weakly.
"Tll go and phone for DOCTOR"
the Colonel said. Meanwhile, you
had better get to bed. Shall help
you upstairs ?"
II shall be all right here" Reid
answered hurriedly.
Every we'll. I'll phone James
and tell him to bring your bag up
from the Abbey"
''Thank you"
Selden stayed with Reid after
the Colonel had gone, and helped
him to bed. It was the first OPP
portunity the two men had been
given to talk freely about the
problem at the Abbey.
After making Reid as comfort
able as his wounds would permit,
Selden took himself off for what
in wartime was called IAN I'M
known destination.
The doctor drove up in his car,
and made a wry face over the in
juries. He tried to persuade Reid
to go to a hospital, where he could
receive proper treatment, but was
met by a fiat refusal. Colonel
Graham had informed the doctor
over the phone that Reid had been
bitten by dogs, and asked him to
keep the information to himself.
! After giving Reid an anti
tetanus injection, and promising to
look in again, the busy man took
his leave, wondering in his mind
what strange story lay behind it
all. But Colonel Graham was a
power in the district, and a mag
istrate, and unless there should
turn out to be something crimi-
nal, he felt justified in keeping
silent on the matter.
Reid was glad when he had gone
he was getting feverish with the
wounds and his inextinguishable
desire for news. The arrival of
James, who had brought the bag
himself. sensing that something
was wrong, came as a great relief.
The butler looked with grave
eyes at the flushed face of the man
in the bed, and opened the bag he
had brought, fetching out pair of
pajamas.
"Shall help you put these on

TIME YET TO PLANT
SEEDLINGS FOR 1887

College Station, Raleigh, Dec. 20
Farmers who have fruit tree and
shrub seedlings may plan them in
January in areas where the ground is
not frozen.
Larger shrubs may also be trans
planted during this month, said H.
r. Niswonger, extension horticulturist
at State College.
Although better results are obtain
ed when young trees and shrubs are
set ont earlier in the winter or in the
late fall, he added, they will still have
time to become established in the soil
before spring growth starts if they
are planted in January.

prise into the question, but the
solemn eyes of the butler were on
him, and he could hardly keep his
face from betraying his knowledge.
''They cannot be found in the
Abbey, but there are no marks of
any violence, and one is almost in
clined to believe that Miss Law
renee has gone off with them
somewhere"
A sense of hopeless despair at
his condition seized Reid, and in
an unguarded moment he put his
hand to his aching head, disclosing
the white bandage on his other
arm.
II fear that you have met with
an accident" James remarked.
Nothing to speak Of" Reid said
shortly.
James remained silent for some
minutes; then he spoke in a grave
tone. "Mr. Reid, I am going to
ask you a question. Will you be
careful in your answer, because a
great deal depends upon what you
say?" His manner was almost
that of a prosecuting council ex-
aiming a witness.
What is it?" Reid asked, in
tently watching the buffers face.
what was the real motive that
made you leave Colonel Graham's
house in such a storm, after send
ing the car back?"
Reid hesitated. James saw it,
and went on:

"Ah! thought so; and may I

at his secret being revealed. "She

James smiled with a look of in

JANUARY TIME FOR
1897 FARM PLANNING

College Station, Raleigh, Dec. 28-
Early in January is good time for
farmers to make their plans for the
coming year, said E. c. Blair, ex-
tension agronomist at State College.
1t this period, he pointed out, grow
ers have time to plan their crop rota-
tons and general farm management
systems and to take inventory of the
farm.
All inventory is essential in keeping
accurate records of the farming OPP
erations. he added.
The extension service specialists at
State College and the county agents
over the State will be glad to help
farmers in planting rotations and 9th
er farm operations, Blair stated.

Francis S. Harmon, New York,

in four groups: root infesting, stem
infesting, foliage infestir1e and
flower infesting. Both chewing and
sucking pests may attack a plant
on the roots, the stem. the foliage
and the flower.
Wireworns, white grubs and plant
lice attack the plant roots in the
soil; while cutwormS, various boring
grubs and maggots, plant lice, scale
insects, thrips and spider mites
prey upon the stems. Both TO-
liage and flowers are menaced by
chewing caterpillars, beetles, suck
ing bugs, plant lice, scale insects,
thrips and spider mites.
THE first step in controlling these
i insects is to clear the soil of
wireworms, white grubs, cutworms
and ants by using carbon bisulphide
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1936-04-11

THE third step is to search out
l. and destroy all insects that
appear to be doing damage. Chew
ing insects are usually controlled
by spraying or busting the infested
plants with lead arsenate, while the
sucking pests yield to a spray or
dust of nicotine or spray of pyre-
thrum extract, or ground derris. The
insects should be well wetted by the
spray.
In general, the one material which
kills the most species of chewing
and sucking insects is finely ground
derris, which may be applied either
as spray or as dust.
Manufacturers are now making
a complete dust for controlling in
sects, spider mites and fungous dis
eases affecting garden plants. While
such compound will not effect 100
per cent control, it gives surpris-
ingly adequate protection.

Because a man makes a prac-

other people doesn't lessen his own
offenses or entitle him to special
consideration" the judge said.
Neither does Judge Rice like the
way police release other prisoners
without requiring them to make
bonds. He voiced his displeasure
in city court to members of the
police force.
ITS been brought to my atten-
ton that lot of prisoners have
been released on their own recog-
nizance," he said. quite often
that's the case because the prisoner
happens to be a friend of some
police officer.
II know one case where the
prosecutors Office requested in
writing that a prisoner be required
to make bond, and he was released
without it, he added.

that there are about Is affidavits
