through they could see where the old

barely abreast of It when thia door
opened and disgorged a man

CHAPTER VII.
"May I Ask What You're Doing
Here?" He Bluntly Asked.
It happens to be my old home, and I
only lauded from Australia last night.
I'm on the river for the first time, and
simply had to have a look around."
The other big man had looked far
from propitiated by the earlier of
these remarks, but the closing sen
tences had worked a change.
"Are you young Mr. Cazalet?" he
cried.
"I am, or rather I was," laughed
Cazalet, still on his mettle.
"Yoa've read all about the case
then, I don't mind betting!" exclaimed
the other with a jerk of his topper to
ward the bouse behind bim.
"I've read all 1 found in the papers
last night and this morning, and such
arrears as I've been able to lay my
hands on," said Cazalet. "But. as I
tell you, my ship only got In from Aus
traMa last night, and I came round ali
the way in her There was nothing
In the English papers when wc
touched at Genoa."
"I aee, I see." The man was stiii
looking bim up and down "Well. Mr
Cazalet. my names Drinkwater, ano
I'm from Scotland Yi ~d. I happen to
be in charge of 'He case "
"1 guessed as much." said Cazalet.

about bim was any lo. ger Ilk* the
Sweep of other days or of any previ

this waa alao easy to understand on
After Michael Angelo.
"I was thinking of his cap." said
Cazalet, but only as tbey returned to
the tradesmen's door, and just as
Blanche put in her word. "What about
me?"
Mr. Drinkwater eyed the trim white
figure standing In the sun "The more
tb^ merrier!" his grim humor had it.
"I dare say you'll be able to teach us
a thing or two as well, miss "
She could not help nudging Cazalet
in recognition of this shaft. But Caza
let did not look round; he had now set
foot in bis old home.
It was all strangely still and Inactive,
as though domestic animation had
been suspended indefinitely Yet the
open kitchen door revealed a female
form in mufti; a sullen face looked
out of the pantry as they passed; and
through the old green door (only now
it w-as a red one) they found another
bowler hat bent over a pink paper at
the foot of the stairs. There was a
glitter of eyes under the bowler's
brim as Mr. Drinkwater conducted his
friends Into the library.
The library was a square room of
respectable size, but very close and
dim with the one French window
closed and curtained Mr. Drink wa-
ter shut the door as well, and
switched on all the electric lamps.
The electric light had been put In bv
ihe Cravens; all the other fixtures in
the room were as Cazalet remembered
them But the former son of the house
gave himself ro time to waste in sen ti
ir^r.tal comparisons. He tapped a pair
of mahogany doors, like those of a
"'irdrobe let Into the wall.
"Have you looked in here?" de-
manded Cazalet.
"What's the use of looking in a ci-
gar cupboard?" Drinkwater made mild
Inquiry.
"Cigar cupboard!" echoed Cazalet
in disgust. "Did he really only use it
for his cigars?"
"A cigar cupboard." repeated Drink-
water, "and locked up at the time it
happened. What was it, if I may ask.
in Mr. Cazalet's time?"
"I remember!" came suddenly from
Blanche; but Cazalet only said, "Oh.
well, if you know it was locked there's
an end of it."
Drinkwater went to the door and
summoned his subordinate. "Just
fetch that chap from the pantry.
Tom," aaid he; but the sullen sufferer
from police rule took his time, in spite
of them, and was sharply rated when
he appeared.
"I thought you told me this was a
cigar cupboard?" continued Drink
water, In the browbeating tone of his
first words to Cazalet outside.
"So it is." said the man.
"Then where's the key?"
."How should I know? I never kept
It!" cried the butler, crowing over
his oppressor tof a change. "He would
keep it on his own bunch; find bis
watch, and all the other things that
were missing from his pockets when
only quiet times for writing," said the
son. elaborating his tale with Alia'
piety. "So once when I'd been tr>ins
to die of scarlet fever, and my mothe'
brought me back from Hastings aftei
she'd had me there some time. th«-
old governor told us he'd got a place
where he could disappear from th<~
district at a moment's notice and ye'
be back in another moment if we rant
the goug. I fancy he'd got to tell hei
where It was, pretty quick; but I onh
found out for myself by accident
Years afterward he to!d me he'd t?oi
the idea from Jean Ingelow's place in
Italy somewhere."
"It's In Florence," said Blanche
laughing. "I've been there and see:;
it, and it's the exact same thing Bui
you mean Michael Angelo, Sweep!"
"Ob, do I?" he said serenely. "Well
I shall never forget how I found oui
its existence."
"No more shall I. You told me al
about it at the time, as a terrific se
cret, and I may tell you that I've kepi
it from that day to this!"
"You would," he said simply. "Bu
think of having the nerve to pulj ui
the governor's floor! It only showt
what a boy will do. I wonder if th<
hole's there still!"

water happened to have heard ever1

was one that caused him to prick ui
his expert ears instinctively.
"What's that about a bole?" sai'
he, turning round.
"I was reminding Miss Macnalr hov

"Yes. yea. But what about Bonn

which he htiM neon growing, burvextml
11 ml estlmuted.
Beginning with an oat huy crop,
town u year ago ln*t September and
harvested In June: I raw thin crop
tut a two horse tedder wu* stirring It
up ami It w-uh the first time In my life
(-ti years of which has been
*|>ent In farming) that I ever snw a
growth of oaf hay of such rank growth ,
Ihut 11 tedder could uot stir up the
mown crop from top to bottom. From
this plot of fl acres 15 very large-
wagoriloutlH of hay were harvested.
The hay was perfectly cured and a
ton per load was a most conservative
e.stlmute.
I The hay at that time would easily
have brought $'_*0 per ton on the Rich-
mond market, which gives $300 worth
of hay from 0 acres. The cost was
as follows, the figures being accurate.
Cost of manure at 15 loatls per ucre,
a total of HO loatls, value $1 per load,
S'.MJ; cost of plowing, .$10; cost of har-
rowing, rolling, disking and seeding,
$10; cost of harvesting, $15; cost of
12 bushels of seed at 00 cents per
bushel, yT.-HI; total expense, $144.20;
profit on crop, $155.80.
As soon us the oats were off the
ground, the six acres were plowed,
prepared ami seeded to German millet
; end cowpens, at the rate of H bush eli*
of peas and 3 pecks of millet per
acre.
[ Before the crop was sown, nn appli-
cation of a little over 300 pounds of
acid phosphate per acre was used, or
in other words, 1 ton put on the 6
acres.
When this crop was harvested, liny
was very high on the Richmond mar-
ket and $25 per ton is a conservative
value to place on the beautifully cured
millet and pea crop, which made a
splendid mixed hay. The yield was
15 tons, which, valued at $25 per ton,
totals $375. Cost of crop as follows:
Flowing, $10; harrowing, rolling, disk-
ing and seeding, $10; harvesting $1(5;
1 ton acid phosphate, $16; 0 bushels
of cowpeas, $12; 4y2 bushels of mil-
let, $7.87. Total cost of crop, $82.87
Profit, $287.12.
Another five acres were sown in cow-
peas and millet about two weeks
earlier. This crop followed oat stub-
ble from a crop sowed the previous
September, but owing to the fact that
it was constantly grazed, the value of
the hay crop was so materially less-
ened that no account was kept of the
light yield. However, the amount of
grazing value of the oats was of great
value to the owner.
This crop of oats had been top-
dressed during the late fall with
manure at the rate of 15 spreader
loads per acre (in fact all manure
used on any crop was applied with

writer saw this crop as it was being Prcf)ts w,n l)(>- Among the Items of
mowed, and it could not be excelled
either for growth or quality.
The crop was estimated at 3 tons
per acre, by many practical farmers
who saw the crop at harvest time,
but at the lowest, the yield was
tons per acre, making 15 tons, which
at time of harvesting was worth $25
per ton, or $375. Cost of crop: Flow-
ing, $13.50; disking, rolling, harrowing
and seding, $14; harvesting, $14; cow-
peas, $10; millet, $6.56. Cost of 75
loads of manure at $1. per load, $75,
but it seems that at least half of this
amount should be charged tu the oat
crop sown the previous fall. Allowing
this way, the cowpea and millet crop
will be charged with $37.50 manure

for thia travel, the Uovernraent has

will give the very least tlegree of trou-
ble. On crossing the border, there lg

In their case there Is no difficulty
when the officials are satisfied that

Although officials of the Government
have taken every means to bring to
the attention of the tourist and others
that no difficulty could be placed In
the way of their atlmlssion, there still
remained doubt In the minds of some^
Only the other day the Government
took action again, nnd authorized the
statement that no measures taken for
recruiting the forces either have been
or will be applied to any persons who
are not ordinarily resident in the Do«
minion. Nor is it the intention to ask
for volunteers except from among Brlt-

sire to visit Cunada will find no more
trouble at the border than they have
experienced in the past, and upon ar-

The immigration authorities sug-1

whose country of origin was one of
those at war with the British empire,
should provide themselves with their
certificates of naturalization.
Now that it is Impossible to visit
Europe, the planning of your vacation
trip through Cunada Is one to give
consideration to. The Government has
taken nn active iuterest In Its Na-
tional Parks in the heart of the Itocky
mountains. These can be reached by
any of the lines of railways, and the
officials at these parks have been ad-
vised to render every attention to the
visiting tourists, who in addition to see-
ing the most wonderful scenery In tha
world—nothing grander—nothing bet-
ter—have excellent wagon and motor
roads, taking them into the utter re-
cesses of what was at one time con-
sidered practically inaccessible.
In addition to this the tourist will

Growers Who Have Trouble With
Them Should Be Careful in Se.
lecting Land for Plants.
S'.rawberry growers who are trou-
bled with white grub worms should be
careful in selecting the land upon
which the plants are to be set. Sod
land, according to J. R. Watson, en-
tomologist to the University of Florida
experiment station, is apt to be in-
fested with the worms. He advises
that the land be given to some crop
not injured by the grubs, for two or
three years after the sod is turned
under. If the grower cannot wait that
long he might pasture pigs on the land
six months before planting, pigs root
the grubs out and eat them.
If stable or barnyard manure is used
as fertilizer, it might be well to mix
with it from 200 to 400 pounds of cy-
anamide to the acre. It is possible
that cyanamide cannot be obtained.
About 100 pounds of sulphur or enough
to slightly color the manure might be
added. The sulphur can be applied be-
tween the rows.
Neither of these substances will kill
the grubs, but they act as repellents,
and will probably drive the grubs
away. The best method, however, Is
to avoid sod lands.
