disclaimer, it seemed to him that the man was aiming at being left alone for a'further indefinite period and he -,roceeded to scotch the idea straight away.

"Well, you may be right," he said firmly. "But now I'm here. I'm going to stay. I understand that I've been waiting some months for a passage already, and I have the doctor's assurance that I'm capable of taking the job on. I don't intend to waste any more time from it. If they're not satis- fied with his report, they can come and investigate my mental condition for themselves!"

If strang felt any disappoint- ment st this definite settlement of the problem, he certainly con- cealed it very well. He burst into a sudden laugh, and rose to his feet.

"Good for you!" he exclaimed. "I felt I ought to point out the other side of the question. but personally I'm glad you've decid- ed this way. As you can imagine. I've been pretty lonely here since poor old Poi-son died. and I'd hate to see you clear out again now. of course. there's no real reason why you shouldn't take straight over. The only difficulty that I can see is that you'll prob- ably have forgotten what ideas you had about running the place when you started out."

"That's so." Thurlow admitted. "But I don't know that that makes much difference. They could only have been theoretical - and if the doctor's right, I'll recover them in time."

"And in the meantime you could put him up to all he wants to know to start with. couldn't you?" the captain put in.

"I should be glad to assist in any way I could." Strsng said cordially. "Naturally. I was fairly conversant with Porson's methods - in fact, we worked them out together to a

great extent - and I think I might say we ran things pretty well here. It was just a matter of

laying down a certain general pol- icy and sticking to it. and we nev- er had any serious trouble. How- ever. we can go into that later. And now perhaps you'd like to have a look at the Residency be- fore the light goes? Of course. it's hardly fit for you to live in at the moment, for all Parson's stuff has been cleared out, and it's pretty bare. But I suggest you let me put you up till we've got things ready for you.

And he led the way out on to the verandah.

it now is a large white mound about three feet width spilling over the rocks with very few of the gttrgg. tive green leaves showing. It 11;; been in the same spot for many years and I can't see for the life of me. why I have not divided this valuable early fragrant plant into dozens of plants and scattered them throughout the garden, I wish that there was time in my life to do thegmany things in the garden that would make it more lovely.

Blue for-get-me-iiot has been trill-Vhiantled to many oorners of the garden and the blooming will soon begin. All through May and June the garden is filled with its blueness, and it is a dainty. airy plant, In drills under the beech trees it is delightful. Daffodils will be at their best this week and there are many mi-icties. My favorites are the (smaller. fragrant. blooms. of a cream mlnr. Others with the orange cups are attractive in tihc garden picture.

It is possible to sit in a sunny corner even this early in the season and enjoy the garden. Many seats of any size are needed so that whenever the urge to sit in the garden to enjoy the fragrance imd lovely views rm-nes there sfliould al- ways he a seat of some kind. I have had visitors comment on the inim- ber of seats in the garden here and there are never too many for the number who wish to use them. '

sweet peas are showing through the ground but the other gardners have better blooms than I have had the last few years. This is the fault of the gardener and no mo- per place has been found lately for these lovely fragrant flowers.

A good book has been obtained from our public library . . . Piimtg, Man and Life by Edgar Ander- son. In this book both the general reader and the scientist will find new insight into the green world around us. In fact the author him- self says that when he first began the new lines of research described in these pages that he felt that he had disrtwered a new continent. and that many of the plant; had been neglected although they "were old when Troy was young", and had travelled with mum in his sm- long trek across the face of the earth.
