mated conversation, carried on In
low tones. The girl seemed nervous,
upset. She shook her blond head
several times, hunching her shoul-
ders in a gesture that somehow
struck Kay's alert mind as being dis
tinctly European.
Kay studied Stover closely. He
appeared clever, sensitive, sharp
witted. But over all was brittle,
cynical bitterness that made him
seem tense and jerky, even when in
repose.
Trying to add up what she'd seen,
Kay let her brown eyes flick to
Beck's face Beck was paying no
attention either to her, or to Phillip
Slower. He was abstractedly, almost
YEARLY, watching the opening of the
floor show.
Then a waiter with a gaunt, for
eign face, skirted the edge of the
dance floor, bringing Phillip Stover
his check. The blond girl with
Phillip tensed as the waiter ap-
preached. Kay sensed rather than
saw the military precision of the
walters manner. Reaching Stover's
table he halted abruptly and, Kay
thought, almost clicked his heels.
He held the check in his right hand,
started to hand it to Slower, then
switched it to his left hand, plac-

BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

When our colonial ancestors es-
tablished their homes in the New
World, their longing for trees and
plants from their own country led
them to import as many Of them
as they could. Thus we have some
lovely flowers, plants and trees as
the result of this desire. 1t was
natural that the beloved European
evergreens came to us in this fashion.
Tie settlers on the West Coast
found some beautiful native species
which they in turn, when moving
to the East, brought along or had
them sent, once they had established
a permanent home. So, grown or
young trees have travelled to new
destinations.
For many years Oriental pines
have been imported. They have
made worthy contributions. We are
today not unmindful of our native
species, and we are appreciating
our good fortune by planting more
and more pines, widening their
range by miles each year.
In the Eastern United States the
Scotch and Austrian pines are the
most numerous of the European
pines planted. They have been
found to be dependable, strong, Wig
orous and equal to making a fine
growth in almost any soil and ex-
posure. They have even been found
excellent as a protective background,
and they are very ornamental when
planted in rows. 1t has been estab-
lished that the Scotch pines will do
we'll on the prairies where they
must endure hot, dry winds for
days and even weeks without a cool
ing drink of water. Naturally such
sturdy trees are going to find them
selves popular, and deservedly so.
To plant these trees is really the
patriotic duty of each citizen. Think
of the beauty they bring to barren
spots, the food they furnish for bird
and small animal, the soil they pre-
vent from washing or drifting away.
In Europe the Scotch pine is one
of the most important timber trees.
In this country some of the largest
specimens are to be found about
homes where they were planted
many years ago.
This pine is not as handsome as
our own white pine. But it is
more attractive than the Austrian
variety, which is SO often seen close
by; that is, the foliage is less COM
pact and not quite so formal in out

ing it fiat upon the table. As he
did so, the thumb of his right hand
ran diagonally across the starched
bosom of his shirt. Stover's eyes
dropped in acknowledgment. A mo-
ment later, the girl and he were on
their way out of the Morocco Club.
Blood hammered excitedly in
Kay's temples. The signal given by
the waiter, his peculiar, military
bearing, the well-masked haste with
which young Stover responded, had
hit her hard. Whatever young Sto-
yer was mixed up init was OBJ
viously nothing mild.
Certain that Slower and his girl
had passed from view, Kay rose
swiftly from the table, to follow
them. She turned to Beck. anG
stopped, staring in open-mouthed
surprise. Beck Creighton was ap-
parently asleep, elbow on table, chin
cupped in hand
