Cazalet excused himself with deci sion. He had a full m o r n i n g in front of him. He was going to see Miss M acnair’s brother, son of the late head of his father’s old firm of solicitors, and now one of the partners, to get them either to take up Seruton’s case themselves, or else to recommend a Srm perhaps more accustomed to criminal practice. Cazalet was always apt to be elaborate in the first person singular, either in th e 'p a s t or in the future tense; but he was more so than usual in explaining his consid ered intentions in this m a tter that lay so very near his heart. “Going to se©' Scruton, too?” said Toye. “Not necessarily,” was the short re ply. B u t it also was elaborated by C a z a l e t o n a m o m e n t ’s c o n s id e r a t i o n . The fact was that he wanted first to know if it were not possible, by the intervention of a really influential law yer, to obtain the prisoner’s immediate release, at any rate on bail. If impos-‘ sible, he might hesitate to force him self on Scruton in the prison, but be would see. “It’s a perfect scandal that he should be there at all,” said Cazalet, as he rose first and ushered Toye out into the lounge. “Only think: our old gardener saw him run out of the drive at half past seven, when the gong went, when the real murderer must have been shivering in the Michael- Angelo cupboard, wondering how the devil he was ever going to get out “Then you think old man C r a v e n - begging his poor pardon—was getting out some cigars when the man. who ever he was, came in and knocked ‘him on the head?” Cazalet nodded vigorously, “That’s the likeliest thing of all!” he cried. “Then the gong w'ent—there may even have come a knock at the door—and there was that cupboard standing open at his elbow'.” “With a hole in the floor that might have been made for him?” “As it happens, yes; he’d search every inch like a rat in a trap, you see; and there it w'as as I’d lelt it twenty years before.” “Well, it’s a wonderful yarn I” ex claimed Hilton Toye, and he lighted the cigar that Cazalet had given him. “I think it may be thought one if the police ever ow'n how' they made their find,” agreed Cazalet, laughing and looking at his w'atch. Toye had never heard him laugh so often. “By the w'ay, D r i n k w a t e r d o e s n ’t w a n t an y of all this to come out until he’s dragged his man before the beak again.” “Which you mean to prevent?” “If only I can! 1 more or less prom ised not to talk, however, and I’m sure you w'on’t. You knew so much already, you may just as w'ell know' the rest this w'eek as well as next, if you don’t mind keeping it to your self.” Nobody could have minded this par- ' tieular embargo less than Hilton Toye. He saw Cazalet off with a smile that was as yet merely puzzled, and not u n f r i e n d ly until he had time to recall Miss Blanche’s part in the strange affair of the previous afternoon. Say, weren’t they rather intimate, those two, ev e n if th e y h a d kno w n each other all their lives? He had it from Blanche (W'ith her second re fusal) that she w'as not, and never h a d b e e n , en g a g e d . _And a fellow W’ho only wTote to her once In a year— still, they must have been darned in timate, and this funny affair would bring them together again quicker than anything Say, what a funny affair it w'as when you came to thing of it! E\inny all through, it now struck Toye; begin ning on board ship with that dream of Cazalet’s about the murdered man. leeiding to all that talk of the old grievance against him, and culminat-’ lag in his actually finding the imple m ents \of the crime in his inspired ef forts to-save the man of w'hose ixmoz. m n e ^ he was so positive Say. if that Cazalet had not been on his way home from Australia at the time! Like many deliberate speakers, Toye thought like lightning, and had reached this point before he was a hundred yards from the hotel; then he thought of something else, and retraced his steps. He retraced them even to the table at which he had s a t with Cazalet not very many minutes ago; the wait er was only now beginning to clear away. “Say, waiter, what have you done with the menu that was in that toast- rack? There was something on it that We rather v/anted to keep.” “I thought there was, sir,” said the English waiter at that admirable ho tel. Toye, however, prepared to talk to him like an American uncle of Dutch extraction. “You thought that, and you took it away?” “Not at all, sir. I ’appened to ob s e r v e th e o t h e r g e n tl e m a n put the menu in his pocket, behind your back as you were getting up, because I passed a remark about it to the head waiter at the tim e !” CHAPTER IX. Fair Warning. It was much more than a map of the metropolis that Toye carried in his able head. He knew the right places for Hie right things. He gazed criti cally at his boots. He was not so dead sure that he had struck the only man for boots. There had been a young fellow aboard the K a i s e r Fritz, quite a little bit of a military blood, who had conve ashore in a pair of cloth tops that had rather unsettled Mr. Toye’s mind just on that one point. Captain Aylmer had said he would lik e to have Toye see his club any tim e he w a s p a s s i n g a n d c a r e d to look in. for lunch. He had said so as though he would like it a great deal, a n d su d d e n ly T o y e had a mind to take him at his word right now. The idea began with those boots with cloth tops, but that was not all there was to it; there was something else that had been at the back of Toye’s mind all morning, and now took charge in fro n t Aylmer had talked some about a job in the war office that enabled him to lunch daily at the Rag; but w’hat his job had been aboard a German steam er Toye did not know and was not the man to inquire. It was no business of his, anyway. Reference to a card, traded for his own in Southampton W ater, and duly filed in his cigarette- case, reminded him of the Rag’s prop er style and title. And there he was eventually entertained to a sound, workmanlike, rather expeditious meal. “Say, did you see the cemetery at Genoa?” suddenly inquired the vis itor on their way back through the hall. A m artial bust had been ad mired extravagantly before the ques tion. “Never w'ant to see it again, or Ga noa either,” said Captain Aylmer. “The smoking-room’s this way.” “Did you say you were there two days?” Toya was cutting his cigar as though it were a corn. “Two w'hole days, and we’d had a night in the Bay of Naples just be fore.” “Is that so? I only came aboard at Genoa. I guess I was wise,” added Toye, as though he was thinking of something else. There was no sort of feeling in his voice, but he was sucking his left thumb. “ I say , y o u ve c u t y o u r s e l f ! ” “I guess it’s nothing. Knife too sjuarp; please don’t worry, Captain Aylmer. I was going to say I only got on at Genoa, and they couldn’t give me a room to myself. I had to go in with Cazalet; th a t’s how I saw so much of him.” It was Toye’s third and separate in dependent attem p t to introduce the name and fame of Cazalet as a natural topic of conversation. Twice his host had listened with adamantine polite ness; this time he was enjoying quite the second-best liqueur brandy to be had at the Rag; and he leaned hack in his chair “You w'ere rather impressed with him. weren’t you?” said Captain Ayl mer. “Well, frankly, I wasn’t, but it m a y h a v e b e e n m y fa u l t . ” “I -was o n ly g o in g to a s k you o n e thing about Mr. Cazalet,” Toye said, “and I guess I’ve a reason for asking, though there’s no time to state it now., W hat did j'ou think of him. Captain Aylmer, on the whole?” “Ah, there you have me. ‘On the whole’ is just the difficulty,” said Ayl mer, answering the straight question readily enough. “I thought he was a very good chap as far as Naples, but after Genoa he was another being. I've sometimes wondered what happened in his three or four days ashore.” “Three or four, did you say?” And at the last moment Toy© would have played Wedding Guest to Ayl mer’s Ancient Mariner. “Yes; you see. he knew these Ger man boats waste a couple of days at Genoa, so he landed at Naples and did his Italy overland. Rather a good Wear I thought, especially as he said he had friends in Rome; bat w'e never heard of ’em beforehand, and I should have let the whole thing strike me a b it sooner if I’d been Cazalet. Soon enough to take a hand-bag and a toothbrush, eh? And I don’t think T should have run it quite so fine at Genoa, either. But there are rum birds in this world, and always will be!\ Toye felt one himself as he picked his way through St. James* square. If it had not been just after lunch, he would have gone straight and had a cocktail, for of course he knew the only place for them. W hat h e did was to slue round out of the square, and to obtain for the asking, at another old haunt, on Cockspur street, the latest little time-table of continental trains. This he cari-ied, not on foot but in a taxi, to the Savoy Hotel, where it kept him busy in his own room for the best part of another hour. But by that time Hilton Toye looked more than an hour older than on sit ting down at his writing-table with pencil, paper and the little book of trains; he looked horrified, he looked distressed, and yet he looked crafty, determined and immensely alive. He proceeded, however, to take some of the life out of himself, and to add still more to his apparent age, by repair ing for more inward light to a Turk ish bath. Now the only Turkish bath, accord ing to Hilton Toye’s somewhat exclus ive code, was not even a hundred yards from Cazalet’s hotel; and there the v i s i to r o f the m o r n i n g again pre sented himself before the afternoon; now merely a little worn, as a man lOMBEAl Irs aiv-d <§Emb' TKcar Care and Culiivaiioix. “Did I Tell You I’d Any Frienaa There?” will look after losing a stone an hoar on a warm afternoon, and a bit blue again about the-chin, which of course looked a little deeper and stronger on that account. Cazalet was not in; his friend would wait, and in fact waited over an hour in the little lounge. An evening paper was offered to him; he took it listless ly, scarcely looked at it at first, then tore it in his anxiety to find something he had quite forgotten—from the newspaper end. But he was w'aiting as stoically as before when Cazalet arrived in tremendous spirits. ■ “ S to p a n d d i n e ! ” h e c r i e d o u t at once. “Sorry I can’t; got to go and see somebody,” said Hilton Toye. “Then you must have a drink.” “No, I thank you,” said Toye, with the decisive courtesy of a total ab stainer. .5 “You look as if you wanted one; you don’t look a bit fit,” said Cazalet, most kindly. “Nor am I, sir!” exclaimed Toye. “I guess London’s no place for me in the fall. Just as well, too, I judge, since I’ve got to light out again straight away.” “You haven’t! ” “Yes, sir, this very night. That’s the worst of a business that takes you to all the capitals of Europe in turn. It takes you so long to flit around that you never know when you’ve got to start in again.” “Which capital is it this time?” said Cazalet. His exuberant geniality had b e e n d a s h e d v e r y visibly for the mo ment. But already bis bigb spirits ■were reasserting themselves; indeed, a cy n ic -with an e a r m ig h t h a v e c a u g h t the note of sudden consolation in the question that Cazalet asked so briskly. “Got to go down—to Rome,” said Toye, watching the effect of his words. “But you’ve' just come back from there!” Cazalet looked no worse than puzzled. “No, sir, I missed Rome out; that was my mistake, and here’s this situ ation been developing behind my “W h a V s i t u a t i o n ? ” “Oh, why, it w'ouldn’t interest you! B u t I’v e g o t to go dow n to R o m e , w h e t h e r I lik e it o r n o t, a n d I d o n 't lik e it an y , b e c a u s e I don’t have any friends there. And that’s what I’m do ing right here. I v/as w o n d e r in g if y o u ’d do so m e t h in g fo r m e . C a z a le t ? ” “If I can,” said Cazalet, “with pleas ure.” But his smiles were gone. “ I w a s w o n d e r in g if y o u ’d g iv e m o a n In tro d u c ti o n to those friends of yours in Rome!” There was a little pause, and Caza let’s tongue just showed between his lips, moistening them. It was at that moment the Only touch of color in hli face. “ D id i tell y o u I ’d an y frie n d s th e r e ? ” The sound of his voice vras perhaps less hoarse than puzzled. Toye made himself chuckle as he sat looking up out of somber eyes. \Well if you didn’t,” said he, “I ^ ’t e s s I - m u s t h a v e d r e a m e d it.” (TO B E CO NTIN UED .^ A Fantous Rose Garden on Long Island. Note -the Interesting Planting of Firs and Spruce and the Careful U se of Vines on the House. WORK IN THE ROSE QARDEN By HUGO ERICHSEN. Nothing jcan be said in praise of the rose that 'has not been said before. Universally recognized as the most beautiful flower, it is the one child of Flora around which a wealth of sen timent, history and poetry clusters. , The beauty of the rose is so widely appreciated th a t the popularity it now enjoys and the demand for hardy gar den roses are annually increasing. No garden is complete wil^out roses, and every family ought to grow them in abundance, for never have roses been so cheap and beautiful as now. M o reo v e r , the c u l t i v a t i o n of the flower is so simple that no excuse can be offered for its neglect, j The firs t requisite fo r ^ success in rose growing is the selection of good, healthy plants. Weak, sickly roses are dear at any price. Many of these plants lack vigor because they are stunted by remaining too long in the cutting bed or in small pots before they are set out. In order to obtain the best results, therefore, it Is advisable to restrict one’s patronage to first-class nursery men only, firms th a t are prepared to furnish strong, well-rooted plants, such as will make a showing the first sea son and develop into vigorous speci mens. In selecting roses for the garden, it is well to know that those plants are grown in tw'o ways, that is to say, on their own roots or budded low on the Manetti, a brier rose that has largely superseded the dog-rose and other stocks in this country, as it is one of the most desirable for our country and climate. , Experts are divided on the question as to which should receive the prefer ence, and the beginner is liable to he in a quandary, because growers are apt to argue for their own method of propagation. I We find many varieties of roses grown on this stock (Manetti) adapt themselves to a greater range of cli- ■mate and soil, bloom more profusely, endure better the heat of the summer and make far stronger plants than if grown from their own roots. ' Many object to budded roses on ac count of the suckers they sometimes throw out; but if proper attention Is paid to the planting this will rarely he an annoyance. i Budded roses should be planted suf- 'fieiently deep, so that the junction of •the bud with the stock is from two to three inches below the surface of the earth. If despite this precaution, a wild shoot should happen to start from the base, the growth and foliage of tho stock are so distinct that it is'readily recognized by the m o st inexperienced amateur and is easily removed. When the rose plants are received from the nurserymen they should be unpacked as soon as they come to hand. Thereupon the tops and root? should be well sprinkled with water, after which they should be covered w ith bagging and placed in a shaded spot until ready to plant. If the ground is not prepared when the plants arrive it is advisable to put th e m in a sh a ll o w tre n c h a n d cover the roots with loose soil until the ground can be put into a proper R e n d ition. The enrichment cf the soil,' how ever, should not only be made a t the tim e of the preparation of the bed he-, fore planting, hut in the spring of every year, for with such attention a bountiful supply of flowers may be ex pected every season. W hen planting, spread the roots out carefully and do not cross them or crowd them .' They, should be placed well below the surface of the soil and arranged, as far as possible, in their natural position. Roses may he grown to perfection in ordinary garden soil, provided they are planted in a sunny, sheltered loca tion, away from the roots of large trees, for these will absorb all the life- sustaining nutrition of the soil, where as young trees and dwarf shrubbery, do no harm. If the soil is naturally poor, however, it is advisable to lay a substantial foundation for future good results. The question naturally presents it self as to which is the best time to plant roses, but the broad extent of our country precludes a definite reply Generally speaking, however, mid spring should receive the preference, and it is better to be a little early than too late; in a mild season. In-: deed, planting may even he done in March. Dormant roses, in fact, should be: planted as soon as the frost is out of the ground and the soil can be worked. But it is advisable not to set out tea, roses until the w eather is thoroughly, settled and they should, of course,, only be planted in the spring. Unless a cold, wet or late spring prevails, pruning may be done in M a r c h or April. O ld and decayed branches and unripened wood should be removed annually, leaving only the strong and well m a t u r e d . A Rock Garden With Perennial Floweps 0 W hy T h at L ame S a c k ?
