He has been ended already,
Black George and the Marquis of
Winston were one and the same
man. Sir Arthur Vance killed him
but in spirit, at least, the killing
was no crime And then the stanch
defender of Vance laid before Eliza
beth that story of a tragic love.
Enough! Enoughi" cried the
Queen, when he had described the
duel between the two men. Both
Arthur Vance and I are fortunate
in possessing a friend like YOU.

Elderberries are wide rangers.
They have established themselves
in open situations where there Is
moist and rich soil from Nova Scotia
to the Gulf of Mexico and westward
over 1000 miles more.
Their Towering season is from
June to July. At this time the small
creamy white fragrant flowers, ar
ranged in large. f1at-top clusters at
the end of branches, attract the at
tention of many insects. With this
important aid the elderberry is en-
abled to mature many, many seeds
The elderberry is a shrub reach
ing height of from to 10 feet
high. The stem is smooth and pithy
with little wood. The leaves grow
opposite along the stem. They are
pinnately compounded and COM
posed of from to II usually y
oval, pointed SaW-toothed leaflets
They are quite fragrant If crushed
Many housewives of olden days liked
to place the bruised leaves in wide
mesh bags among their linens. The
freshness and odor were lovely re-
minders of the outdoors.
We have as yet not fully appre-
ciated the beauty of the misty clus-
ters of creamy white blossoms for
our formal gardens. We do 60 to
great trouble to obtain far less beau
tlful blossoms. Yet these shrubs
are attractive from early spring
until late autumn.
At this time of year the shrub is
heavily laden with clusters of dark,
juicy fruit giving the bush an ap-
pearance OF being top-heavy. At
one time the elderberry was consid-
cred a dependable fruit and was
gathered in pals and buckets to be
made into delicious elderberry wine.
/ The juice of the fruit has not di-
minished in medicinal properties
nor have the flowers.
OF course, it is not the plan of
/ the elderberry to mature fruit to
be made into medicines and drinks.
The strong odor. the maSSed effect
OF the tiny f1orets are perfected for
the purpose of attracting the insects
seeking pollen. No nectar is served
| by this hostess, but an abundance
OF golden grain for bread making
for bee babies"
The next group of assistants in
the prosperous plan of the elder
berry are the birds. They really do
enjoy the fruit. You should see

laden elderberry-and then take

"Why-you see. we thought YOU

The master OF the house was called

make discreet inquiries in certain
quarters

aid to repose she darkened the room
and left him

when he was awakened by a sud
