"Prue: but this quarrel may have been the final one of a series. for all we know."
"In that case, 0. K., chief," said Robin, broadly smiling,
"Now we'll become a bit more personal. Mr. Foster. How did it come about that Mr. Lessing made this threatening gesture to you which resulted in your seeing the scar on his arm?"
"Green-eyed jealousy had some-
g to do with it." he answered promptly. "I was told to diminish my interest in his fiancee."
"Just so. I guessed as much. Now we'll go back for. a moment. You mentioned a little while back that there have been two attempts 'to do you in, as you put it. when was the first? Tell me about it."
"Just after I left Lesslng's house gllllg afternoon." He gave the do-
"But, man alive," the inspector expostulated. "you mean to say you allowed this to happen to you and made no effort to get the man who did it arrested? You didirt. immediately inform the police, or make a definite point or seeing me?" "True. but I told you I felt the idea about Iaessing slightly ridiculous, then I was still in a maze about the whole affair, re- member. I felt you could always lay hands on this fellow if need be. He gave his name as Dowson-pro- bably false. of course-and I took the number of his car."
"You did, eh? That may be use- ful. All the same, Mr. Foster, your actions are slightly irresponsible at times. Were you not afraid of being treated to a further dose? You got it, too. Lucky for you Miss Dexter came along when she did."
"Yes. wasn't it?" agreed Robin ' nocentiy.
The detective stared at Robin intently.
"I-lbw did she came to be there?" he demanded. "How did she so for- tunately turn up just when he did? Did she know you were going down to Wlshlngton.
Robin had feared this poser, and had not been able to prepare him- self to deal with it.
"No, I don't think so." he an- swered slowly. No. I'm sure she didn't. she had been staying in the district for a day or two. she told me. It was enough for me that she turned up at the right mom- ent. she was putting up at The Magpie: a mile or two away, and was having a spin round in her car before turning in. It was a fine night. Luckily her spin round took her my way."
"A very fine night." comment d West dryly. "And an astonishing coincidence. I'm interested in coin- cidences- I must get her to tell me more about this one. You dont think she's in l..essing's pocket, do you?"
"Of course not!" Robin answered indignantly. "I'm sorry you've even suggested it, Inspector. As a matter of fact, I may as well tell you that she is breaking off her en- gagement to him."
Raising his eyebrows the In- spector murmured. "Is that so? Very interesting, indeed. Good work, Mr. Foster. Do I congratulate you?" He saw that Robin did not appreciate his tone, and proceed. ed smoothly:
"Nevertheless. a rather mysterious lady. Carries firearms. eh? From what you say she actually fired and hit one of the men.”
"In the shoulder, she informed me." Robin replied cheerfully.
"Quite. Yes: a very mysterious lady. American. of course. but doesn't she know that it isn't custom- ary in this country to go about armed? Well, if that wound leads to the fellow's arrest, we may say

nothing about her taking the law into her own hands-loosing off firearms on the public highway." "What should she have done, In- spector?" Robln asked. "Told them to wait while she fetched a police- men?"
Ignoring the thrust. West queried abruptly: "You said you met Gide- on Trevor-d'you know who he was?"
"A friend of Miss van Buren':. I don't know any more than that."
"He was Lesslng's confidential secretary. See how it's coming round? Begins to look as if he had learned something about the attack that was' going to be made on Y0"- boggled at the idea. and tried to warn you. Who would want most to stop him?"
"Good heavensi" cried Robin, startled into complete seriousness once more. "You mean LeSSinE- again?"
"Well. Berkeley square is pretty near Charles Street. They got on to Lessing immediately after they identified the body. He was terribly distressed, He would be, of course. Queer thing is, he had gone into his house, and from what the butler said stayed there. Some little snag again, you see. An apparent foolproof alibi. Must look into that very closely."
INSTALMENT NINETEEN
Barbara van Burcn had never experienced a week-end in the country she had enibyed 1955- 1i had been a frightening shock to her to discover the man she loved. Peter Lessing, was a. man who was trafficking here in England in murder. so much had been made only too clear to her by his own revelation that her invitation to Robin Foster to join her party at Wichington had been designed to facilitate that pleasant young man's removal from this world. n
she knew Peter Lessing was no saint, knew more of his past his- tory than he dreamed of. but until now in her association with him there had been no thought of or contact with crime. When Robin had shown up safe at "The Three Choughs" she had experienced re- lief almost beyond expression. Even more for Lesslng's sake than for Robin's or her own she had been thankful that the plot to murder him had failed.
She loved Peter Lcssing with all her being-illogically. foolishly, Despite an underlying brutality that his cultivated chann normally concealed-or perhaps because of it-he stirred within her feelings no other man in her life had ever
, been able to inspire. she was aware
of every despicable passionate af- fection she felt for him. To be continued

it is needed most before the annu- al: have made any display in the garden. I have had these Poppies for many years. and they are per- intent enough to push up ihroushu the grass in the shrub border and they do not receive any care what-
ever. This year I have'seedlingsi of several new colors. and ,1 iI.'ni looking forward to their time of: blooming. Many pansies and Violasi have been transplanted and now
are a mass of bloom. The old-fash-

Roses have been pruned. and all dead wood trimmed away, the Hy- brid Teas are still hilied up with clay and some new roses have been planted. They have been heeled in for a. couple of weeks until the ground is ready. Roses need rich earth and cow manure is the best fertilizer for them; it is wise to prune them after planting then cover completely with soil for sev- eral weeks. this prevents the dry- lng out of the roses until the roots start to work. Spread the roots out with the graft one inch below the
Better Times is excellent for cut- ting with long crismon buds and large double cerise blooms, Mme. H. Guillot an outstanding variety, both for form and color. Large flowers of raspberry pink, with a golden base, on strong stems with large Biossy foliage.
When planting the roses any day now I carry them in a. bucket with the roots covered with water, they must never dry out. and of course this applies to all planting. The garden has come through the win- ter much better than I had expect- ed and all the pedennials are grow- ing at a rapid pace, Daffodils, fra- grant Arabls, and many pansics and Violas are blooming. Tulips are coming very fast and they will likely be in bloom about the first week in June as usual. This is the time to sow all hardy annuals and perennials while there is moisture in the soil.
There are days in the round of the year that hold everything in the cup of their hand. we have one or two of these days now, in early, May with sunshine, and all day we work to bird's song; they are never silent for long.

If it were not for their intel- ligence and cunning, the ant would stand little chance against a larger adversary. Yes. he is full of wis- dom and as subtle as the serpent. Centuries and centuries of ex- periments have taught them how to meet all situations, and there are few problems in the insect world that they are not able to solve to their own advantage.
Though living miles apart, ants are able to communicate with one another. Just how they manage this. we do not know. If this were not a fact, then how can we ac- count for the flying ants all swarming on the same date?
How long do ants live? Some of the queens live fifteen years at least. The workers do not attain such a ripe old age, though both live much longer than the allotted span of most insects.
