Dr. Moffett was too shrewd and farsighted a scoundrel not to have anticipated such risks. He must have chosen this particu- lar place for the delivery of the money because he considered it the safest one he could find_ Dale pondered, and of a. sudden his brows went up and a faint gleam of comprehension kindled in his eyes. He had just asked himself how hai would have made his arrangements| if he had been in Dr. Moffett's place' and if he had chosen this particular balcony as the scene of the transac- tion. The answer came instantly. The money was to be dropped over the railing, of course, to another of Dr. Moffetvs agents who was waiting flown below to receive it and make a sudden flight the moment it was in his hands. Dale smiled thinly. No other ar- rangement was conceivable, so his surmise must be correct. On the whole the scheme was rather ingeni- ous. It offered the maximum of suc- cess with the minimum. of risk. The hall itself, with its raucous hilarity, gave the best sort of protection. At- tention if any, would be focused on Joan of Arc, not on the person waiting down below. _A transaction in blackmail was always more or less dangerous, but this scheme reduced the danger to the lowest possible min- imlun. As he viewed the arrangement from all angles, Dale found himself con- ceiving a new respect for Dr. Moffett. Then he fell to wondering how far Miss Castle would be able to lead the emissary on before the latter should discover that the roll of blackmail m0H¢y was padded. Nearly ten min- utes must have elapsed since he left 1 the balcony, and he was thoroughly convinced that he must act quickly. and to the best possible advantage. He formed a mental picture of the terrain. The ballroom was on the very top of the Hotel Vandermoorc, . One of the largest and most sumptu- ous hostelries in the city, although not very fastidious with regard to its clientele. The balcony, twenty-six: stories above the ground. looked out upon a narrow court with tau build- , in!! on all sides. At this hour most Oi the windows in those buildings would be‘dai‘k. A watcher waiting down below for a packet of money to be dropped from the top would be in no danger of detection, ` He got up from the chair, swayed a little, stroked his brow as if auf- fering from s. slight headache, and looked out over the room. Still there was no cabaliero in sight. The room was becoming insuffcrably hot and stuffy. Unsteadliy he made his way through the eddying crowd. In the hall outside he removed his mask while he wiped the moisture from his forehead, then replaced it again. Now he moved to the window at the farther end and drew the fresh -_‘ HARD COAL 'l'lu,lchooner “Jean P.

Leaning out only slightly, so that his head barely showed beyond the window frame, he looked down into the black cavern below then to the side. On a bal- cony about twenty feei. away he des- cried two dim figures. A scarcely audible word was brought to him by a slight pufl of wind: - “satisried?" It was Joan of Arc speaking, of course. From the one little word lie could make a fairly accurate guess as to the trend of the conversation on the balcony. He tried to hear more. but the rest was indistinguishable. Again he scanned the black depth below, then left the window and, dis- daining the elevators, sought the stairs, It would not matter greatly if lie- should meet any one. On this particular night almost any sort of conduct would pass unquestioned at the Vandermoore. He descended six- teen flights then stepped to a. hall window which was directly beneath the window above. For an instant he looked back. The long hall, flanked by doors on either side, was deserted. In the ceiling glowed a row of frosted lights. Cau- tiously he leaned over the sill and looked down. He strained eyes and ears, From the lower level he could distinguish the flagged surface of the court_ He saw a row of milk cans, a stack of packing cases, a cat slinkL1g across the murky space, but there was neither sound nor movement. Disappointed, and wondering if he had reasoned falsely he let his eyes slant upward along the wall. High up was a series of projections, like bird's nests clinging to a sheer cliff One of them, he knew was the bal- cony on which Miss Castle and Joan of Arc were standing, but at this dis- tance he could not de-termine the exact one. Again he looked down, straining ears and eyes, still loath to think that he had made a mistake. Again as his pupils responded to the lower darkness, the objects down there be- gan to take shape. Back and forth his eyes roved, searching every _foot of space and presently they fastened on a point near the stack of packing cases. A blur scarcely distinguish- able from its background, riveted his attention. It was a formless thin8 B5 first, _only a slight shade biacker than the darkness which framed it. "Protective coloring!" he mused. His eyes began to ache from the intense strain. Little by little the blurry thing began to different-iutu itself from its surroundings. A shape stood out vaguely from the shadowy masses. He gave a. surprised start. Then, leaning 9. little lower over the sill, he formed a tube with his hlllli-i and whistled softly. something stirred in response. A pair of eyes seemed to be peering upward. “A ,dogi Dale thought. “MY hli off to you, Dr. Monett. You'vc trained him for his Job, cf»course- .ehesmd him. very ukciv. Great ideal" Dale grew throughtful. He could admire the cleverness of an _adver- sary, even a despicable one like Dr. Moffett. He saw the plan clearly now. When the packet dropped from the balcony the dog would clutch it in his jaws gnd, by ii prearranged route. ,jing gn fp a waiting car and a walt- ing master somewhere in the neigh- borhood.

It is, unlike top grafting, best carried out when the sap is not rising so freely, that is,from the latter part of July until the beginning of Sep- tember. Thc stock is prepared by clearing the soil away down to where the root joins it, a T-shaped cut is made in it low down, and a. bud of the desired variety slipped into the notch_ In about a month the bud willl have united to the stock. The stock is cut of! the following spring, just above the bud, which having a large root-system to sup- port lt, makes extraordinary growth from the very first. This is a short description of a very important, pro- cess, but there are various bulletins published by the Cental Experimen- tal Farm, Ottawa, in which the be- ginner will find fuller details. i THE FARM AS A FACTORY What a wonderful factory a farm is. and what a benefactor to mankind the farmer! From air, and soil and water he produces all the necessities of life excepting those required for shelter. as metals and minerals tis- sues and fibres, heat and light, and even the latter two groups are in- debted to the farm to a slight extent. But food materials-the proteins. fats and carbohydrates-are the pro- duct of the farm up to 99% of the whole: the manufacturer as we call him, merely sorts them and sells them. ' ' To clothe'/the world the farmer suppiies 99% of the necessary fibres and tissues, and so busy is he that he turns all this over to the operator who receives nearly all the profit and credit. For example the purchaser of a pair of shoes pays for the mak- ing. the shape, the finish, and often the makers name, but never by chance thinks of the farmer without whom the shoes could not bc, and who gets the least profit from the transaction. Pope‘s dictum was, "An honest man‘s the noblest work of God”: if we think of nobility as indicating the *highest form of service, then the . I " s farmer has a better claim to the title, EGG LAYING CONTESTS There is a. great deal of interest taken throughout the country, in the results of the Egg Laying Contests conducted at the Experimental Farm, i .

In 1919, the average annual production in the Contests was 112.6 eggs per bird: to- day it is 177.0. Taking the price as 25 cents per dozen-fwhlch is a verv low estimate-this amouis to an additional profit of $1.33 per bird. Secondly the registration of poul- try under these contests has brought about a strain of birds, standard as to type, and laying eggs of a stand- ard weight-24 ounces to the dozen. Registered Cockerels are the pro- geny of at least two generations of registered dams. Again not the least of the benefits of these Contests lies in the fact, that the public _are reasonably sure that they are securing stock of a desirable kind. Previously there had been many advertisemenb of a misleading charac- ter, which usualiy resulted in disap- pointment to the beginner in the industry. Now owners of outstanding Contest pens are not disposed to sell stock which would injure their own reputation. These considerations go to prove that the Contests are /of the greatest good to the pouiry industry in Canhda.

AUTHORITY ON ABRAHAM LINCOLN LONDON, Aug. l.-(By The Can- adian Press)-Th-a Times Literary Supplement discussing Mrs. Bab- cocks book: "Liricoln’s Mary and the Babies." says: _ Mrs. Babcock is apparently an au- thority in America. on Abraham Lin- coin, and while her story depicts the President's inner homo life, the dra- ma of the Civil War, is the main theme. It is surmlsed that the wom- en and children were merely her ex- cuse for writing yet another book on America's hero. But not even Lincoln can make his wife attractive, either in Spring- field or Washington. Snobbish to an extent only possible under democracy -vain, jealous. and bod tempered- the wonder is that her assassina- tion did not come before her hus- band's, If Mrs. Bebooek's picture is correctly painted, she chose a better foil thin probably she was aware of at first. Lincoin's wonderful years at _ Cutie and Joan of Arc were. - Dale nodded, In addition to the dog there would be a watcher, of course, waiting to lee if there should be a hitch in the proceedingo. Al well as he could in the dim iight. Dale studied the shape of the head and the long blond wig which framed it. Evidently the watcher wu one of the merrymakers. And Dale thought he had seen that blond head before. To Be Continued Tomorrow the White House smashed the Con- federacy and freed the slaves, but these works might well pale into in- significance beside the fact that he never addressed l cross word t.o Mary. I-low often must his saintly character have resisted the impulse to give tongue. ,Even at the end she leaves Washington wondering whe- ther Congress will pay for her debts -not as a favour, but as A right. Of the greatest of Americrs Presidents. it can only be said that he was too bewilderingly great for more mortals. A REAL SCOTCH WEDDING VANCOUVER, IB.
