His wealthy slater Barbara, who has helped him to succeed, -has just been married and la going to Japan, leaving Laurie on his own. Epstein and Bangs, hiy theatrical partners, have projntsed Barbara to keep an eye on Lauric. They scold him for bls laziness of late, and he retorts that he seeks adventure. From his window In New York he sees the reflection of A beautiful girl In a mirror In the house opposite. From the elevator boy in the girl's house Laurie learns the girl's name Is Mayo. Again In me mirror s reflection he sees her with a revolver srwt fears she means to commit suicide. He rushes Into her apartment, and. winning her confidence. Induces her to lunch with him. though she warns him of danger.

CHAPTER IV—Continued "When wo were over In your studio." be said. "J admitted that twice In my life I had tried to —make away with myself. Only two other persons in the world know that, but I’d like to tell you about It. If you don't mind." She looked at him. There were •trance things In the look, things that thrilled him. and other things he subcons lou sly resented, without understanding why. When site spoke there wfle a more personal note in her voice than It had yet held. “You?" she asked; and she added aiHiMtt lightly, "that seems absurd." "1 know." Laurie spoke with the new humility he had found only today. “You think that because I'm so young I couldn't- have been desperate enough for that. But—you re young, too." He was looking straight at her as he spoke. Her eyes, a little hard and chnllenelog then dropped. “That's different." she muttered. He no Ided. "I knew the causes were different enough," be agreed. “But the feeling back of them, that pushes one up against such a proposition, must he pretty much the same sort of thing. Anyway, It makes me understand: and I consider -that It gives me a claim on y« u. and the privilege of trying to help you." Her eyes were still cast down, and suddenly she flushed, a strange, dark flush that looked out of place on the pure whiteness of her skin. She had the exaggerated but wholesome pallor of skin that often goes with reddish hair and red brown eyes. It does not lend Itself becomingly to flushes, and this deep flush lingered, an unwelcome visitor, throughout her muttered, altm»st ungracious words. “Ob. please don't talk about ft," she Mid. brusquely. "It’s no use. I know you mean t» be kind, but you can t do, anything.’* "oh. but that’s Just where you're wrong." Murte spoke with a cheerful assurance he did not feel “If I hadn't been there myself. I’d talk all aort* nf twaddle to you. and do more harm than good: and I’d probably let you go on thinking you were facing a trouble that one could help In •lead of that, you and I are going to ' hold your bugaboo up to the light, and see just what It Is and how small ft I*. And then—" he smiled at her—"we're going to get rid of It together." She echoed his words, vaguely, as If not knowing quite what to say. "Get rid of Itr “Yes. Tell me what It is. and I’ll «tu>w you how It enn be downed." She pushed back her chair, jfs If anxious to put a greater distance between them. “No.” she exclaimed, nervously, •It’s Impossible; I can't talk about «t." Then, in an obvious effort to •Ide-track the issue. “You said you wanted to tell me about your—experience." "I do. but ft Isn’t a nice story. Fortunately. it won’t take long." He «qs>ke reluctantly. It was not easy to hook two such memories out of the darkest pool of his life and hold them up to a stranger. “Oh, I was a young Idiot." he rushed on. "and I suppose I hadn't the proper start-off. At least I like to think there's some excuse for me. My father and mother died when I was in knickerbockers. and I grew up doing very much as I pleased. I —made a bad job of It. Before I was twentyone I was expelled from college and I bad worked up a pretty black reputation. Then I gambled and lost a lot of money I didn't have, and it began to look as if about the only safe place for me was the fathlly vault. “I made two efforts to get there. The first time a wise old doctor •topped me and never told any one about It. The second time one of my chuma took a hand in the game. I don’t know why they did IL I don't Mppoae either my pat of the doctor thought 1 was worth saving. But they talked to me like Dutch uncles, and n,y chum kept at It till I gave him my word that Fd never attempt anything of the sort again." “You were just an unhappy boy." she said, as if thinking aloud, “with all life before you and many friends to back you up." “And you." he suggested, “are Just •n unhappy girl with all life before you. I don’t know anything about your friends, hut I’ll wager you’ve got a lot of them." She shook her head. "Not one." she said, slowly. “I mean, aot one I dare to call on, now." 1 like that I You’ve got me to call on. right here." This time she really smiled at him. It was a pathetic little smile, but both lips and eyes took part tn IL He waited, but sbe said no more. He begar to fear that his confidence bad been given to no purpose. Evidently •he had no intention of making a confession in return. He resumed his attack from a new angle. “You’ve been disappointed In someftlng or some one." be said.

The very sun in its course took pains to show you to me In time to stop it That means something. Miss Mayo." She seemed slightly startled. “It is Miss Mayo, isn't It? That’s the name the elevator boy gave me. yesterday." •It will do." She spoke absently, already on the trail of another thought. Suddenly she caught It. “Then you brought the basket, or - sent it?” she cried. "It was you! How i dared you!" She bad half risen from her chair. Bending across the table, he gently pushed her back into IL "Sit down." he said. Imperturbably. She hesitated, and he repeated the command. this time almost curtly. Under the new tone she obeyed. "Fm going to tell you something.’’ he went on. “I've exhausted my slender resources of experience and tacL I don't know what anyone else would do in this situation; but I do know what I'm going to do myself. And, what Is a lot more Important. I know what you’re going tn do.” She laughed, and he winced at the sound. "That’s easy." she said. “I’m going to finish the act you Interrupted." "Oh, no. you're not!” Her lips set. "Do you Imagine you can prevent me?” ''l know I can.” His quiet assurance Impressed her. “How?" she asked, half mockingly. “Very easily. I can take you from this restaurant to the nearest police station, and have you locked up for Attempted suicide. You know, it’s a crime here." The word they had both avoided was out at last. Although he had spoken It very softly. Its echoes seemed to fill the big room. She shrank back and stared nt him. her hands clutching the sides of her chair. “You wouldn't dare!" "Wouldn’t I? I'll do It In exactly fifteen minutes, unless you give me your word that you will never make another attempt of the kind." He took his watch out of his pocket and laid it on the table between them. "It’s exactly quarter past twelve," he said. “At half past—" "Oh!—und I thought you were kind!" There was horror In the brrfwn eyes now and an antagonism that hurt him. "Would It be kinder to let you go back to that studio and—" “How dare you interfere In my affairs! Who gave you the right?" “Fate gnve me the right: I’m its chosen specialist on the job. and you may take my word for it, my dear girl, the job's going to be done, and done up brown." He lit a fresh cigarette. ‘‘lt will be mighty unpleasant for you." he went on. thoughtfully. "There's the publicity, you know. Os course, all the newspapers will have your pictures—" "Oh!" “And a lot of romantic stories—" “Oh—you—you—" “But of course you can avoid all that." lie reminded her. "by giving me your promise." She choked back her rising fury, and made an obvious effort at selfcontrol. "If I agree to these terms of yours." she asked, between her teeth, "may 1 be sure that you will leave me in peace and that I shall not see you again?” He looked at her reproachfully. "Dear me. no! Why. you’ll have to see me every day. I’ve got to look after you for a while." At her expression his tone changed. “You see." he said, with smiling seriousness, “you have shown that Just for the present you can’t be trusted to guide your own actions. So I’m going to ‘stick around.’ and guide them for a few days, until I am sure you are yourself again!” “Tills—" again she choked on the words- “this is Intolerable!" "Oh. I don't think so. You can see for yourself that I mean well, and that I’m going to be a harmless sort of watchdog. Also, you can depend on me to go off duty as soon as h’s safe. But for the present you're going to have a guardian ; and It's up to you to decide whether that guardian shall be I-aurence Devon, very much at your service; or the police force of the city of New York." She had her chin in her hands now, in her characteristic pose, and was regarding him without resentment. When she finally spoke. It was without resentment, too. but coldly, as one states an unpalatable facL "You." she said, "are a fool." Laurie flushed, then smiled. •That is not a new theory.” he admitted. "Two hours ago.” she said, “I warned you that It would be dangerous for you to Interfere in my affairs. Did I not?" "You did." “I warn you again. It may be a matter of life or death. Put your watch In your pockeL pay your bill, and take me home. Then go away and forget me." Laurie glanced at the watch. “We have used up eight minutes since I gnve you your choice," be reminded her. “You are like a child." she muttered. “spinning his top over a powder magaxine." Laurie frowned a little. “Too melodramatic," he murmured. “I tell you." she said fiercely, “you •re acting like a fool* If you interfere with me you will be drawn Into all sorts of trouble, perhaps Into tragedy, perhaps even into disgrace.” “You’re forgetting the net." he reminded her, “the nice net you mentioned this morning, with room for two. Also—" again he looked at the watch—“you’re overlooking the value

of time. See how fast these little hands are moving. The nearest police station Is only two blocks away. Unless you give me that promise, you will be in it in—” he made a calculation—“in just about four miautes." She seemed to come to a decision. "Listen to me." she said, rapidly. "I cannot be frank with you—" “I’ve noticed thaL" Laurie interpolated. "with regret." She Ignored the interruption. “But I can tell you this much. I am not alone in my trouble. Others are involved. They are—desperate. It is because of them that I—you understand?” Laurie shook his bead. He did noi understand at all; but vague and un pleasant stories about espionage and foreign spies suddenly filtered through his mind. “It sounds an awful mess." he said frankly;* "If it’s got anything to do with German propaganda —” She interrupted with a gesture of impatience. "No, no!" she cried. "I am not a German or a propagandisL or a pacifist or a spy. That much, at least. I can tell you." “Then that’s all right!” Laurie glanced at hfs watch again. “If you had been a German spy.” he added, “with a little round knob of hair on the back of your head and bombs In every pocket. I couldn’t have had much to do with you. I really couldn’t. But as you and your companions are riot involved in that kind of thing. I am forced to remind you that you’ll be headed toward the station in just one minute.” “I hate you!” she said between her teeth. He shook his head at her! "Oh. no. you don't!" he said kindly. "But I see plainly that you’re a self-willed young person. Association with me. and the study of my poise, will do a lot for •you. By the way, you have only thirty seconds left." ‘‘Do you want to be killed?” She hissed the words him. “Good gracious, no!* Laurie spoke absently, his eyes on the watch "Twenty seconds." he ended. “Do you want to be maimed or crip pled, or—or kidnaped?" He looked up in surprise. “I don't know why you Imagine 1 have such lurid taste.” he said, dis contentedly. "Os course I don’t want any of those things. My nature is a quiet one, and already I’ip dreading the excitement of taking you to the station. But now I must ask you to put on your gloves and button up your coat for our little journey." “The journey you take with me," she said, with deep meaning, “may be a long and hard one.” He stood up. "I wouldn't miss It for the world.’ he told her.. “But we’ll have to post pone it. Our journey to the station comes first." She sat still, looking at him. "I know your type now,” she said suddenly. “You live in your litth groove, and you think that nothing happens in the world except whin you see under your nose." "Something awfully unpleasant L going to happen under my nose rich' now." announced her companion, dis consolately. “Come along, please, It - time to, start.” She stood up. faced him for a se< ond. and then dropped back into he chair with a gesture of finality. Heexpression had changed back to th» lethargy of her first moments in threstaurant. "Very well," she said. “Have it you way." She added significantly. “This may be the last time you have you way about anything!" "You have a depressing outlook ’ grumbled Laurie, contentedly sittingdown again. “It isn’t playing th» game to spoil my triumph with sucl predictions as that, especially as I’n going to have my way about a lot of things right now. I have your word.' he added. “Yes." , ’•Good! Now Fll give yon my pro gram. First, of all. I’m going to be « brother to you; and I don’t think," h» ended thoughtfully, “that I’ve ever offered to be a brother to any girl be fore.” “You’re a nice boy." she said ab ruptly. He smiled at her. “A nice boy. though a fool. T hoped you would notice that. You'll be dar xled by ‘my virtues before you're through with me.” He went on conversationally: ’The reason I’ve never offered to be a brother to any girl be fore is that got a perfectly goo. sister of my own. Her one fault is that she’s always bossed me. I warn you from the start of our relations that Fm going to be the boss. It will be the first time I’ve ever bossed anyone, and I’m looking forward to it a lot." The faintest suggestion of a smile touched her short upper lip. Above It. her red-brown eyes had softened again. She drew a deep breath. “It's stffcnge," she said. ' You’ve let me in for all sorts of things you don’t realize. And yet. somehow, 1 feel, for the time at leasL as If I had been lying under the weight of the world and some one had lifted the wretched thing off me.” “Can't you, by a supreme effort of the imagination, fancy that I lifted it off?" suggested Laurie, mildly. This time she really smiled. “I can,” she conceded. "And with out any effort at all." she added som berly. "I can fancy us both under iagain." f He shook his head. A new character enters this mysterious drama. What does the girl fear? When will it strike? (TO BI CONTINUKD.) Fairy Tale Once upon a time there was a cbo rus girt who was not hungry after the show.

1 SAVE APPLE TREES CANKER-INFECTED Apple trees Infected with hold-over fire blight cankers, one of the serious problems of apple growers in some sections, can, be saved and a large percentage of future infections prevented if a procedure worked out by Investigators 'in the experiment station of the college of agriculture. University of- Illinois, is followed carefully and systematically, it is announced Py Dr. H. W. Anderson, associate chief of pomological pathology, who had charge of the investigations. The object of the procedure, which was worked out as the result of observations and experiments, is to save rees. not to control blossom and twig blight in the entire orchard. In Calhoun. Illinois’ most important tuple producing county, and adjoining count blight cankers are Ulingxthousands of Willow Twig trees, <nd this variety, one of the most profitable to western Illinois growers, is doomed unless satisfactory methods of ■ontrol are put to use. Doctor Ander- , *on said The procedure which the experi ment station workers have developed to save infected trees is as follows: 1. Plot the orchard, indicating on a diagram the exact location of all dis--ased trees and the number of cansets on each tree. 2. During the winter months cut out i cankers Cankered limbs which do not contain enougli live wood to warrant saving the entire limb should be cut off well below the canker. < an kers on the body of the tree or on large scaffold limbs should be cleaned out arid treated. The orchardist should have special Instructions for this . work. 3. The cleaned cankqr and all tools used should be disinfect'd by usibL a solution of mercuric eNpride. me; ■•uric cyanide and glycerin*”T <‘on venient formula for this is: (A) Three-tenths ounce of mercuric chloride in one pint of warm water (B) Three-tenths ounce of mercuric cyanide in one pint of water. Add three pints of glycerin to each of (A) and (B) after they are in solution, then mix them together Make up in wooden or granite wancotitainers. * 4. Paint the wounded surfaces first with shellac and then, after they are dry. witli gas tar or white lead paint. 5 Give special attention to followup work. During the growing season watch for any advance at the edge of the cankers. If any advance is seen, immediately clean out to perfectly healthy nark, disinfect very carefully and drop al! diseased bark into a pail, remove from orchard and burn. Best Strawberry Mulch Is Strawy Horse Manure A cqarse or strawy horse manure is .best. Cow manure is too compact. It will mat down over the plants or form large chunks which do not protect the plants. The object of mulching is -to keep the frost tn the soil, thus preventing the lift of the frost and the settle of the thaw over and over through the winter and spring. The frost lifts the plants a little and the settling of the thaw pulls the soil away from the roots and leaves them exposed. The plants should not be completely covered, for they must have air through the winter. There fore a coarse mulch which will not pack down too hard is best, says a writer In the Rural New Yorker. Some people make the mistake of using forest leaves, sawdust or very fine manure, thinking the plants must be fully covered. These pack too elosely and smother a good many ,plants. We have found coarse millet or stidai grass cut before they seed very good for mulching. Sprouts Are Worthless to Grow Cherry Trees Cherry trees grown front sprout.which came up around old cherry trees would be practically the same as seedlings, and would no r be likely to produce much fruit, and what fruit they might bear would be likely to be of inferior quality. i*robably. the old trees from which the sprouts were taken, were budded ut grafted on seedling roots which are likely to send up sprouts whhh will bear seedling fruit of poor quality. The seedlings frequently used for bud ding good kinds of cherries on are morello cherries, and some of these -cedlings may bear fruit of very good quality, but as a rule the fruit is rather poor. The seedling trees arc not likely to bear much until they become very old. and even then they are usually shy bearers. Protection From Rabbits The trees should be protected from rabbits by means of tree guards of various types, either wood veneer, paper of various sorts, or even cornstalks, or galvanized or other screen wire, or the heavy galvanized hardware cloth of about one-fourth-inch mesh. The hardware doth and screen guards should be about eighteen inches high, and pushed down a couple of inches into the soil. They may be left In place as long as protection 1> needed. Care for Spray Outfit The spray outfit should never be put •way for the winter without n. thorough cleaning and overhauling The engine should be gone over carefully and any worn parts noted so repairs can be ordered before the spring prograrfl starts. The pump should be taken to pieces and examined, as was the engine, and all deposits of spray and grit washed or scraped out. It is also good practice to remove ( and clean the pressure regulator valve ■ and the pressure chamber valve.

’ THE WORLD’S I I GREAT EVENTS j * ALBERT PAYSON TERHUNE | i. .! by Dodd. Mead 4 Company.) Charleg V A GOUTY old man sat tn a monastery cell, surrounded by dozens of clocks and watches. “I cannot even make two clocks tick in unison," he whined peevishly “No wonder I failed to make millions of people think alike!” The old clock fancier was Charles V, who had given up affairs of state at the age of fifty-six, and who was spending the two remaining years of his life in monastic retirement. He bad had a half century of experiences such as lent a certain pathos to his complaint about the clocks. Born in 1500 to the greatest power ever Inherited by mortal man. he had risen to heights reached by no other ruler of his century and had lived to see his most cherished plans fail to pieces. Here are some of the titles that Charles fell heir to. as a mere boy: rhe archduchy of Au-Lwa. the sovereignty of the Nertieriands. the kingloms of Spain. Sicily and Navarre, md the rulership of all Spain's American possessions. In addition to his, when only nineteen, he was • hosen emperor of Germany, and at iwenty-six was crowned king of Italy. He ruled four nations which ha<? netting in common and nd ties of mutual interest. These facts, of course, led to endless rivalries, revolts and international complications.. Moreover, a throng of outside enenies rose against the young monarch. Francis I, king of France, who had >een one of his competitors for the German crown, promptly declared war Hi him. seizing the duchies of Milan ■nd Burgundy, which "Charles regarded as his own. Soliman. the Magnifi-<-i'nt (under whom, from 1520 to 1566. Turkey reached its pinnacle of greatness). invaded Hungary, advancing to the very wails of Vienna, and. with his fleets, held the Mediterranean, menacing Italy and Spain. The Netherlands. too. were ripening for revolt, while a furious revolution broke out in Spain. Added to' this, an Aueustinian monk of Germany, Martin Luther, defied the pope, against certain tenets of the Catholic church and advanced a “reformed" creed. He drew to him thousands of Gerhians. his adherents ■ecoming known as "Protestants.” The security of the Catholic church. ■>f which Charles was the acknowledged champion, was thus menaced, vifogether he had his hands full. To beat back France’s armies on he Flemish frontier and in Italy, to heck the Turks on the Mediterranean md in his own duchy of Austria, to dem the tide of religious disagreements and to reconcile clashing politl■al parties—this was the task before i::i. He entered'"’’on an eight -yea) car with France, during which he (rove the French from Italy and caps need King Francis. He forced a huniliating treaty on Francis. This the after at once broke, but in a second rar was again beaten. Soliman led a great Turkish army ■ver rhe German frontier and Charles advanced In person to meet him, and drove the Turks back to their own territory. Then Francis, forming an alliance with Sbliinan, again invaded Italy. But Charles opposed the allies so successfully that they were soon glad to sign a treaty of peace. The revolt in Spain was put down and the Netherlands for the time appeased. so Charles had at last time to attend to the Reformation, which, under Luther. Melancthon and other teachers, had by ths time swept Germany from end to end. The emperor had crushed every military foe and had humiliated every royal rival; hut here, in this new religious move went ar home, he found an opponent he could not conquer—a power that throve under persecution. Council after council was held, scheme after scheme proposed. C<>m•iromlses were suggested, but found favor with neither party. As if this >ne setback had undermined his whole edifice of greatness, so the failure <»f Charles In reconciling the religious .-eets was followed by a series of new disappointments and misfortunes. He ■ad hoped to nequeath all his power »nd possessions to his son Philip, but to this the G-rman electors would not agree. So he foresaw that on his death the mighty one-man empire he held would be split up as had those of Alexander and Charlemagne. To add to his worries. Henry II (son of Francis I) of France, backed by other rulers, invaded Germany and captured several important cities, notably Metz. Charles sought to recapture Metz, but failed, and until 1870 it remained In French hands. Charles made one more throw of the dice against He arranged a marriage between his son Philip and Queen Mary of England, thus forming an English alliance to strengthen his own power and that of the Catholic church. But the couple had no children to perpetuate the scheme. His most cherished plans set at naught, his own subjects refusing to be guided by him in matters of religion. his health broken, his territory successfully invaded, his son debarred from inheriting his chief possessions—the combination was too much for the bld emperor. He gave up his throne and left to others the helm of state which would no longer obey his enfeebled hand. His was that saddest of fates: The fate of the man who outlives the greatness he himself had created. — ■' ' ‘ Lovera of Cato Among famous men who have cherished the cat as companion and friend Philip Hale has given us these: Richelieu.
