CHAPTER IV Anne packed for a space, then gave it up. She couldn’t go on with It. she wanted to be downstairs, not lose one minute of the .last evening at Gull island. Her spirits, oppressed by Joe’s behavior, began to bubble’again, foam up in sparkling effervescence. She slipped off her negligee and chose her most bewming dTMMk leaf-greeu creye that made her look slim as u reed and turned her skin to ivory. And she figured In front of the glass, studying her reflection this way and that, trying to see herself with new eyes and judge if she was a girl a man might l>e proud of. While thus engaged she heard the chug-cliUg of the launch. It must be Joe going, and anxious to see the departure of that darkling ami uncomfortable spirit she went to the window Across the swift-sweeping current the boat came into View, skimmlng forward like a home faring bird. Anne leaned over the sill: following it with startles! eyes where was Jde? There was Gabriel in front at the wheel, but In the*back—she stretched her neck trying to see to the bottom of the cockpit. there certainly was no one on the seat.. “Oh. could he have missed It?" she groaned and cast up her eyes as if invoking the protection of heaven against such a calamity. But he couldn't have, he wanted to go. It was his holiday, thought Gull island was a beastly hole. He must have been where she couldn't see' him. It was difficult to think

“You’re Sure It Was Here?* where this might be—but he might have been bending down to put something lb his suitcase. A chair could have hidden him. She remembered what he bad said about leaving his baggage at the living-room entrance. If It was Mill, there then he had missed the b<»at and she ran downstairs. hoping with a prayerful earnestnes> that she would not find If. It was not tfiere. Then he Is gone.” she said to herself with a satisfied nod and drew a freer breath. The weight lifted, she went across to’ the garden, where she might find Bassett, and as she covered the space between the doors the picture of the launch rose on her inner vision with Gabriel the only visible occupant.

Irish Surnames Rank With World's Oldest

It will be news to many people that Irish surnames are the oldest in Europe except the Venetian, and moreover not a single »ne of the great Irish family names is taken from any trade or occupation—every one is derived from some noted ancestor. usually • prince or military commander. Things are tar different in England. Thu* Howard, the family name’of the duke* of Norfolk. is derived from Hog-ward, or guardian of pigs. English sur names, moreover, are extremely recent There is. for example, not a single English surname that goes hack beyond the Eleventh century, and the oldest surnames are not English but Norman-Frynch. on the other hand. In Ireland there Is not a single surname in la or O which does not go back to the Eleventh century or beyond it. Surnames in Mac are more recent. O or Ua means “grandson . Nl means ‘’grand-daughter’ ; Mac means “son." 1 believe there is not a single Irish name that has not been in its translation from Gaelic into English—the English form usually represents the pronunciation of the historic Irish form.

Bassett was not tn the garde*. Mt' Shtn< was, sauntering into view from the balcony end. He’d been loafing about, be said, just come up from the Point. They strolled about on th* lanes of turf between the masse*! col ors of parterre and border, the air langulsbingly sweet with the scent of the closing flowers. Then they went In, luxuriously embedding themselves in two vast armchairs. Bassett found them here and tried to look genial at the sight of Shine. They talked about the moon and moonlight effects. Shine wanted to take some photographs after supper, get the pines against the sea and the silvered bulk of the Point, and he spoke of his flashlight picture, which they’d have as a remembrance of Gull Island. Anne said that was a jolly idea, but she didn’t think they’d a picture to remind them of'their stay, and she and Bassett exchanged a smile. It was still on their lips when 8 sound came from outside, a single sharp detonation. It fell upon the evening's tranquil hush, sudden and startling, like something alien and ud related. "What was that?” said Anne. “Sounds like a shot.” Shine thought “It couldn’t be I” Bassett got up. “Nobody has a pistol here and if he had he couldn't use it —one of the special stipulations Driscoll myd* when he lent us the place.’’ He moved to the land entrance and looked out. The door of Mrs. Corneil's room opened on the gallery and Miss Pinkney emerge*!. Mrs. Corneil behind her. “Mr. Bassett,” she cried, a hand on the railing. “Where’s Mr. Bassett?” Bassett drew out from under the gallery and looked up at her: “Did jou hear that?” “I did and I told you that Mr. Driscoll never allowed any shooting on the premises.” “Do you think that was a shot?” “Well, what else was it?” Mrs. Cornell, leaning comfortably on the railing, suggested that it might be an auto tire. This drew a snort from Miss Pinkney : "Mow’d a motor get here —swim or fly?” Then to Bassett: “Mr. Dris coil’s very strict about that. He won't have the wild game or the gulls disturbed and—” Bassett Interrupted her: “That’s all right. Miss Pinkney. We were given those orders and we've obeyed them. And none of us could shoot here If he wanted to —there's not a pistol in the outfit. Don’t you know it’s against the law to carry one ?’’

“Then someone’s taken mine." she exclaimed, and straightening up with an air of battle. “I’m coming down.” She left the gallery for the rear stairs. Mrs. Cornell in her wake. “What does she mean—hers?” Anne asked. “I don’t know what she means.” Bassett looked irritated. “It’s the first I’ve heard of it." “I don’t see what there was to shoot at. anyhow.’’ came from Shine. “Looked to me when I was out there, as if al! the gulls had gone to bed.” Miss Pinkney, entering, focused tbyir attention. ’What’s this about a pistol of yours?” Bassett asked. She answered as she walked across the room to a desk under the gallery: “It's the one Mr: Driscoll gave me. thinking it might be useful when 1 was here alone, opening or closing the house. I was to keep it loaded and have It handy, but I’d trust my tongue to get rid of any man and here it’s lain with the poker chips." She pulled out a side drawer of the desk. 'There!" she exclaimed turning on them In gloomy triumph. “What did 1 tell you! It’s gone.” Bassett looked into the drawer: “You're sure it was here?” "Didn't I see it this mornlag when I put away the counters you were playing with last night?” "Vmph I” Bassett banged the drawer shut in anger. “I’ll see that this is explained to Mr. Driscoll. An J whoever* taken It. they’ll get whet's coming to them. A d—d fool performance ! To get us in wrong Just as we were leaving—" The hall door opened and Stokes entered. • Who's shooting round here?” he said. ”1 thought it was taboo." <TO BE CONTINUED.!

Many-latest arrivals in the way o* blouses and frocks are square-necked.

Certainly the mod tshness of the V-shaped neck adds a most convincing style detail to the frock on the seated figure, and the

QLUNINQS PRUNING BERRY BUSH IN SPRING Folks who have only enough berry bushes for their own use will find it more satisfactory to wait until late in the spring before pruning. It will often pay to wait until the buds on the canes begin to break. One can then tell just what fruiting wood has survived from the- preceding summer. The condition of the wood cannot always be .told during the dormant season. In order to get a large, stiff cane and for the purjiose of. having them under control the new shoots that put forth from the croWns the preceding summer are cut or pinched Ijack. This is done when the new shoots have reached a height of 30 inches or thereabouts. Too many farmers and growers delay the time of summer pruning. In this case a large amount of wood growth is lost. Furthermore. the new laterals that put out late in summer are far from sturdy. This weak growth- almost invariably suffers from winter injury. On the other hand when the pinching back is performed at the proper time, the lateral branches make a more, vigorous growth and most of the tops reach the ground and pnaluce new plants. Lateral branches that are attached to the soil almost always come through winter in good shas>e. The lateral branches carry most of the buds that produce the crop of fruit later. The crop yield* wIH be in proportion to the number of healthy laterals that the cane has produced. Usually each crown will have from three to six canes that •have, ou the average, four or five g*x>d. strong laterals. In pruning these lateral branches, the amateur grower is frequently puzzled to know just how short to cut them. Ordinarily from 6 to 10 inches of each strong lateral should be left. This means that from 25 to 40 inches of wood should be left-on each cane. If one could be sure that there would be plenty of moisture during the time the fruit is ripening, more wood could be left. < U Those who h:i4e 'not practiced summer pruning will find their lateral branches farther out on the canes.*ln many cases they are too small and spindly to be of much value in fruit production. In pruning these nines it is well to cut away the main cane at a height of three or four feet. These canes should be supported with stakes or trellis of some kind. The canes that were summer pruned will be found heavy enough to support themselves.

Says Lubricating Oils Are Cheapest for Mites Some fruit growers are making a saving of an>und $3 on a 20fr-gallon tank of spray mixture through using stabilized lubricating oil emulsion instead of miscible oils, points out A. L. Pierstorff. fruit specialist, in the New Jersey Agriculture, the official publication of the state college of agriculture and experiment station. In view of the low prices received for fruit during the past season this saving is an appreciable item to those growers who must use large quantities of oil sprays in combating the European red mite vti apple, peach, and cherry trees, points out Mr. Pierstorff. The stabilized lubricating oil emulsions. as prepared by the manufacturers. he explains, are made with aid of comparatively inexpensive substances such as casein, glue, or powdered skim milk, and are diluted so that the spray contains 3 per cent actnal oil. or I’i gallops of oil emulsion to 33 gallons of water. The miscible oil sprays contain such emulsifying agents as carbolic acid, cresylic acid, and vegetable oils. Such mixtures practically dissolve in water. The drawback to them Is their expen si veness.

? Horticulture Squibs ? pruning plays a big part In protl’able small-fruit crewing. • • • Be sure you want to go into the fruit business. Fruit growing Is a business, not an avocation. • • • To assist In controlling aphids in the apple orchard it is best to spray Just as the buds are beginning to open. Old apple trees may be pruned heavier than young ones, for the stim* ulating effect of heavy pruning is not so objectionable v»ith them, but large or scaffold limbs should be removed only where necessary. • • • Peaches set fruit buds more freely upon well-drained sandy and gravelly soils than upon dense soils. Problem in orchard mathematics: If three cents worth of spraying pet tree will protect an orchard from San Jose scale, how many trees should be unprotected ? Cutting the firewood with a carpenter’s saw is just as sensible as using one to-prune the fruit trees. Buy and use a good pruning saw. Efficient tools make it easier to do efficient work. • • • Destroy all old fruit trees and small fruits in the neighborhood where the orchard is to be planted.. Wild plums, crab apples, red cedar trees and other plants which harbor the fruit diseases should be cut out of fence corners and wood lots. • • • A common inquiry addressed to the department qf horticulture is: “At what time of the year should I prune my grape vines?" The general answer to this question would be to prune them at any time after the leaves have fallen and before the sap rises.
