dun and an Italian prince. Nazlo decided, as he apprc\ied the pair. that this eseapade was tit for ta: on Sheridan's part. He heard him- self telling men at his clubs when he went back to New York: “By

at Monte?" ‘

As he drew nearer to the couple. he was struck anew by the resemb- lance bctncn the Million Dollar Doll and tre convent girl who had "turned him down." Dress that child in clothes like these instead of her country-made black, and she'd b: Just as handsome, just as stunnin}!

He was sharply pricked by the remembrance of his failure. He, hated to fail. He often boasted to himself (he was too intelligent to boast to others) that he had never failed in love or business. The thwarted affair with Terry Desmond had left a sore spot.

Coming closer, the y-jllthfulneu of the girl's face impressed him. She locked like a sad and lovely child. (‘clachcci from home surroundings. Could Juliet Divine look like that?

Of course Juliet had a. spurious air of girllshness. and might be taken for twenty instead of twenty- seven. But if her beauty had a de- fect. it was a certain bright hard- ness. Her youth wasn't this virginal youth. It was a youth ol bold, pioneering experience.

Just as Nazids mind touched this conclusion, the tall girl in white saw him, started, and shrank against her companions shoulder.

"She isn't Julict Divine. She's Teresa Desmond!" The conviction shot through

Nazlds brain. l-Ie walked on, turn- ing it over. and decided that he had hit the amazing truth. The 1n- stant he was sure, he wheeled and in an instant had joined the ccuple.

"How do you do, Miss Desmond?" he said. hat in hand. "This is a surprise, seeing you here?"

Sheridan had braced himself for

this. But he was puzzled by Nazlos way of address. Wha: did the feilow mean by calling the girl "Miss D25- mond?" It must be a slip of the tongue. or else thare'd been some adventure in which Juliet had pos- ed as "Miss Desmond." Strange, however. that a man about town like Nazlo hadn't known the Mll- llon Dollar Doll! No wonder that she seemed up- set at meeting him! There was something under the surface. here: but Miles was sunprised at his own sense of relief. and the cooling of his anger against the girl. Taking all things together. it began to look as if there'd been no appointment! He had another surprise also: his sudden wish to shield her.

Terry's quick wit was baffled by lack of experience and her train- ing to be truthful.

"Juliet will be so angry if Mr. Sheridan finds out." she thought. ' What can I do?"

She looked at Sheridan and met his eyes. It seemed to him that he caught an 8.0.5. signal, and he re- sponded promptly.

“You are Mr. Nazlo, I think?" he said with cool politeness. "I've seen you now and th_.-i in New York. But you have made a mistake. This lady is not Miss Desmond. She doesn't know you."

Nazlo was a man of the world and his great aim was to reach social heights. climbing on his mil- lions. "I'm sorry." he said civilly. “I beg the lady's pardon-mud yours. I must. have been deceived by the great likeness between her and a friend of mine-a friend I've lost sight of, but hope to find again. I know I shall some day; and I thought this was the dayi"

He lingered. expecting a move on the girl's part, if only a. gesture or a faint exclamation, or-valmost equally welcome-a. sign from Sher- idan that a chat with a fellow New Yorker would be acceptable. But the white sunshade screened Teresa Desmonds face, and Sheridan was irresponslve.

Unless Nazlo were ready to risk a snub in mlbllC. from one or the other, there was nothing to do ex- cept to take himself off. Until he could see what use to make or tic situation (he would make use of it!) he didn't want a. row with the man or girl.

"Again I beg pardon." he excus- ed himself; and lifting his hat once more turned back in the direction whence he came.

NOTES ON SWEET PEAS

Of all the climbers Sweet Peas are the most useful whether for garden decoration or to Dmvlde 611i flowers. I have grown them ex- perimentally for some years. devot- lng my attention to the duplex var- ieties in the mliln- '

The Sweet Pea, Lathyi-us odoratus. is a native of Sicily. and was first grown in British gardens in 1700. It is, as We know, an annual and numerous color-varieties have been developed, principally in Britain, the United states. British Columbia and Australia.

1n prepatlng to grow Sweet Peas the intial step is to dig a. trench eighteen inches deep, which is fill- ed with well-rotted manure topped off with six inches of gcod non-acid sell. To obtain this condition the soil must be mixed with a propor- tion of lime. It is claimed that if the trench is prepared in the Fall, and the seeds sown right away. they will germinate in the Spring. and do better and bloom earlier. Personally I raise the seeds in flats indoors as early in the 317N118 55 I can. when the night temperature is not likely to fall below 55 degrees: planting the seedlings outdoors when the season is sufficiently ad- vanced Others prefer to sow the seed directly over the trench— which, by the way, should run

JR. TUFTS NEW BOOK

Last Saturday, to my delight. the mail brought me a 00D? 0! “sinne- Common Birds of Nova Scotia," by Mr. Robie W. 'I‘ufii. Chief M18- ratory Bird Ofllcer This attractive- ly-bound volume oi.’ ninety pages is in size what 1 belleveivrlnler! call Royal Octave (6 I-2 by l0 inches). so that the colored plates of birds. with which the pages are in.er-‘ leaved are quite large. Though the title seems to confine the subject matter to our sister province. each and all of the fifty birds treated of are common here also, and the book would be a. valuable addition in the library of our Island bird- loverS. To those who have had the pleasure of hearing Mr. 'I‘ufts in his lecture tours. no words of mine are necessary to emphasize the in- formative and entertaining charac-l ter of the letterpress. To those who have not had that Drivllesc I 190' commend the work as a concise ac- count of the appearance and habits oi’ our feathered visit-ants, told with the skill and knowledge acquired during thirty-five years’ experience. The Starling, we are told, first alppeared in NB. in 1916, and this was the first record in Canada. It was first noticed here in 1931. and Mr. Tufts tells us what to expect when these birds become numerous. "They travel in great flocks. and in a few months will tOtfllly destroy an entire crop of raspberries, straw- berries, and similar fruits." An ex- cellent, picture shows this coming pest in various positions, and in Fall and Spring plumages. Among the many singular habits of birds with which we are made acquainted in this fascinating work. the oddest is the habit of smearing fir balsam or pitch "gum" as the youngsters call it) round the entrance to its nest in a rotten stump. This is u trick of the Red- breasted Nuthatch, and is thought to deter the wood mice from enter- ing to destroy the eggs or young. The book appropriately concludes with p. chapter on bird houses, bird- baths and feeding-station. I must call the attention of our young fdlk to the last sentence:- "but the chief thing of importance
