“Bosker Time" la Cheerful.
Tin* term :i “busker time," which the
Australians use to describe a cheerful
leave, comes home to Its birthplace,
little altered. “Bosky,” with n similar
uuming, was an English 'colloquialism
In the eighteenth century. And “bos-
ky” Is still current slang with us, but
Implying too generous use of the wine
cup. There is one phrase in the book
of slang which Is decidedly pleasing,
“Australian grip.” It stands for that
best of greetings, the honest, hearty
band slinko.—London Chronicle.

SHOOK WITH
NERVOUSNESS
A Lady Was Flat On Her Back
With Terrible Spells, But Her
Husband Got Cardui,—
And Now She Is
Grateful.
McKInnoy, Texas.—Mrs. Mary Steph-
enson, of this place, states: “About
a year and a half ago I was down In
bod for six weeks, not able to sit up.
I was flat on my bads and had ter-
rible spoils . . . Why, It looked
like I would die. At times I didn’t
know anything. I would get nervous,
I couldn’t hear anyone to talk to me,
—( would just Jerk and shook with
nervousness . . . across my back
was so sore and ached me all the
time. I would have a dizzy feeling.
My limbs ached me and I would get
numb and feel so weak ... I
said to my husband I knew Cardui
was good and I believed I had best
try It.
He got me a bottle of Cardui, and
when I had only taken one-half bot-
tle of Cardui I felt stronger. I took
a half a dozen bottles altogether, then
in two weeks after I began taking I
was np, In three I was doing my work.
I praise Cardui for I believe It saved
my life and I am grateful.”
For over 40 years Cardui has been
helping weak, sick, women back to
health and strength. Try it.—Adv.

Junior Gob—Aw, what’s the use of
being in the navy If you hafta wipe
your feet?—Judge.
A SUMMER COLD
A cold In the summer time, as every-
body knows, is the hardest kind of a
cold to get rid of. The best and quick-
est way Is to go to bed and stay there
if you can, with a bottle of “Boschee’s
Syrup” handy to Insure a good night’s
rest, free from coughing, with easy ex-
pectoration In the morning.
But If you can’t stay in bed you must
keep out of draughts, avoid sudden
changes, eat sparingly of simple food
and take occasional doses of Boschee’a
Syrup, which you can buy at any store
where medicine is sold, a safe and effi-
cient remedy, made In America for more
than fifty years. Keep It handy.—Adv.

CHAPTER I—Continued.
—2—
When the tnxiruh deposited us In
front of the house I glanced hastily
up and down the road. There whs
another cub at the east end of the
street, but I could not discern If it
were approaching me or stationary. I
opened the front door quickly and ad-
mitted my companion, then preceded
her up the unrarpeted stairs to my
little apartment on the top floor.
As I opened the door of my apart-
ment the dog pushed past me. Again
I had forgotten if; hut it had not for-
gotten its mistress.
“TUI tomorrow, mademoiselle,” I
I said. “And won’t you tell me your
nume?”
“Jacqueline,” she answered. “And
yours ?’’
“Paul,” I said.
“Au revoir, Monsieur Paul, then, and
take my gratitude with you for your
goodness.”
I let her band fall and hurried down
the stairs, confused and choking, for
there whs a wedding ring upon her
linger
CHAFFER II.
Back In the Room.
The situation had become more
jweposterous than ever. Two hours
before It would have been unimagin-
able ; one hour ago I had merely been
offering aid to a young woman In dis-
tress; now she was occupying my
rooms and I was hurrying, along Tenth
I street, cnreless as to my destination
and feeling as though the whole world
was crumbling about my head because
she wore a wedding ring.
.As I passed up the street the taxl-
! eab which I had seen at the east end
came rapidly toward me. It passed,
and I stopped and looked after It. I
was certain that It slackened speed
outside the door of the old building,
but aguln It went on quickly until It
was lost to view In the distance.
Had I given the pursuers a clue by
my reappearance?
I watched for a few moments longer,
but the vehicle did not return and 1
dismissed the Idea as folly. After all,
New York was a civilized city, and 1
I could be sure of the girl’s safety be-
; hind the street door lock and that of
my apartment door. So I refused to
yield to the Impulse to go hack and
assure myself that she was all right.
I must find a hotel and get a good
! night’s sleep.
j As I went on new thoughts began
to press on ray Imagination. The tale
about the father, the assumed Igno-
rance of the conventions—how much
could be believed?
Had she not probnbly left her hus-
band In some Canadian city and come
to New York to enjoy her holiday In
her own fashion? Could she Inno-
cently have adventured to Daly’s door
and actually have succeeded In gain-
ing admission?
Perhaps she was worse than I was
even now Imagining!
Perhaps, If I had not left her—per-
hape, If I turned back— I clenched
ray fists and hurried on. I would not
give rein to the thoughts that were
making my heart bound like a run-
away horse.
I I had turned up Fifth avenue and
had reached Twelfth or Thirteenth
itreet when I thought I heard the pat-
ter of the Eskimo dog’s feet behind
! me. I spun around, startled, but there
was only the long stretch of pavement.
I I had resumed my course when I was
sure I heard the pattering again. And
again I saw nothing.
A moment later I was hurrying back
toward the apartment house. My
nerves had suddenly become unstrung.
I felt sure now that some imminent
danger was threatening Jacqueline. I
1 could not bear the suspense of walt-
! !ng till morning.
And as I ran I thought I heard the
patter of the dog’s feet, pacing mine.
I was rounding the corner of Tenth
j street now, and again the folly of my
behavior struck home to me. I stopped
and tried to think. Was it some In-
stinct that was taking me back, or was
it the remembrance of Jacqueline’s
beauty? Was it not the desire to see
her, to ask her about the ring?
I had actually swung around when
I heard the ghostly patter of the feet
again close at my side. I made my
decision in that Instant and hurried
iwiftl.v on ray course back toward the
oertmen! house.
When at last I found my door my
hands were trembling so that 1 could
hardly lit the key Into the lock.
I bounded up the stairs. But on the
top story l had to pause to get my
breath, and then 1 dared not enter, I
llstem*d outside. There wus no sound
from within.
The two rooms Ihnt I occupied were
separated only by a curtain, which fell
abort a foot from the floor and was
alung on a wooden pole, disclosing two
feet between the top of It and the
celling. The rooms were thus actually
one. and even I hat might have been
called small, for the bed In the rear
room was not a dozen paces from the
door.
I listened for the breathing of the
sleeping girl. If I could hear her
breathe, I thought 1 would go quietly
away and llnd a hotel lu which to
sleep. I listened minute after minute
but I could not hear a sound.
At last I put my mouth to the key
hole and spoke to her. "Jacqueline.’
I cnlled. There was no answer.
Then a little louder; “Jacqueline 1"
And then quite loudly: “Jacque-
line I"
^hen, out of the silence, hammering
on my eardrums, burst the loud lick-
ing of the little alarm clock that I
had left on the mantel of the bedroom.
1 heard that, and It must have been
ticking minutes before the sound
reached me; perhaps If I waited a
little longer I should heur her breath-
ing.
I took the key of the apartment
from my pocket at last and fitted It
noiselessly into the lock. I stood
there, trembling and Irresolute. I
dared not turn the key.
Once more I ventured:
“Jacqueline! JucquellneJ"
There was not the smallest answer-
ing stir within. And so. with shaking
fingers, I turned the key.
The room was completely flurk, ex-
cept for a little patch of light high up
on the bedroom wall, which came
through the hole the workmen had
made when they began demolishing
The Scene Stamped Itself Upon My
Brain.
the building. I hesitated a momept,
then I drew a match from my pocket
and rubbed It softly into a flame
against my trousers leg.
I reached up to the gas above the
table, turned it on and lit the Incan*
descent mantle. lowering the light Im-
mediately. But even then there waj
no sound.
The oppressive stillness was not
that of solitude. She must be aWake;
she must be listening In terror.
I went toward the curtains and
when I spoke I heard the words corae
through my lips in a voice that I
could not recognize as mine.
“Jacqueline I" I whispered, “It Is
Paul, your friend. Are you safe,
Jacqueline?”
Now I saw, under the curtains, what
looked like the body of a very small
animal. It might have been a woolly
dog or a black lambkin, and It was
lying perfectly still.
I pulled aside the curtains and stood
between them, and the scene stamped
itself upon my brnin ns clear as a pho-
tographic print forever.
The woolly beast was the fur cap of
a dead man who lay across the floor
of the little room. There was h tloy
hole In his breast, over the heart, from
which a little blood had flowed. Tile
wound bad pierced the heart and
death had evidently been instantane-
ous.
It was the man whom I had Been
staring at us across Herald square.
Beside the window Jacqueline
crouched, and at her feet lay the Es-
kimo dog, watching me silently. In
her hand she held a tiny, daggerlike
knife, with a chin, red-stained blade.
Her gray eyes, black la the gaslight.
Mann? tye mine, and there wae ei-
ther fear mat recognition (a '.hem. She
was fully drefuted, ami (lie bvtl had
not been occupied.
I flung myself at her feet. I took
the weapon from her hand. “Jacque-
line!" I cried In terror. I raised her
hands to my lips and caressed them.
She seemed quite unresponsive.
“Jusqucllnc," 1 cried, "you arc not
hurt? Thank God you are not hurt. j
What bus happened T‘
"I don’t know," she answered. ”1
don't know where 1 am.”
"Jacqueline, dear,” 1 said, "will you
not try to think? I mu Paul—your
friend Paul. I>o you not reioembe*
tne?“
"No, monsieur," she sighed.
“But, then, how did you come here,
Jacqueline?” I asked.
"I do not know," she answered.
And, a moment later, “I do not know,
Paul.”
That encouraged me a little. Kvi- j
dcntly she remembered what I had
Just said to her.
There was something more to be
said, though It wus hard.
“Jacqueline, whir- was thst?'*
"Who?" she Inquired, looking at me
with the same patient, wistful gaze.
“That man. Jaequellne. That dead
man."
"What dend man. Paul?"
Site was staring straight at the
body, and at that moment I realized
that she not only did not remember, i
hut did not even see It.
The shock which she had received,
supervening upon the nervous stale
In which she had been when l en-
countered her, had produced one of
those mental Inhibitions In which the
mind, to save the reason, obliterates
temporarily not only nil memory of
the pHst hut also all present sights
and sounds which rimy serve to re-
call It.
I saw that It was useless to say
anything more upon this subject.
"You are very tired, Jacqueline?"
I n«k**d.
"Yes, monsieur," she answered,
leaning hack ngalnst my arm.
"And you would like to sleep?"
"Yea, monsieur."
I raised her In my nrtns and laid
her on the hod, telling her to close
her eyes and sleep. She was asleep
almost Immediately after her head
rested upon the pillow.
I watched her for n while until I
heard a distant clock strike three.
This recalled me to the dangers of
our situation. 1 struck a match and
lit the gas In the bedroom. But the
yellow glare was so ghn.stly and In-
tolerable that I turned It down.
And then 1 set about the tasks be-
fore me.
CHAPTER III.
Covering the Track*.
There was a fire escape running
np to the floor of that room on the
outside of the house. I saw that It
would be possible by standing on a
chair to swing myself up to the hole
In the wnll and reach down to the Iron
stairs up which, 1 assumed, the dead
man had crept after I had given him
the hint of Jacqueline's abode by
emerging from the front door.
I raised the dend man In my arms,
looking apprehensively toward the
bed. I was afraid Jacqueline would
awaken, but she slept in heavy peace,
undisturbed by the harsh creaking of
the sagging floor beneath Its double
burden. I put the fur cap on the gro-
tesque, nodding dead head, and, push-
ing a chair toward the wull with my
foot, mounted It and managed with a
great effort to squeeze through the
hole, pulling up the body with me us I
did so.
Then I felt with my foot for the
little platform at the top of the Iron
stairs outside, found It, and dropped.
Afterward I dragged the dreadful bur-
den down from the hole.
I carried the dead man all the way
down the fire escape, clinging and
straining against the rotting, rusting
bars.
At the back of the house was a little
vacant space, filled with heaps of de-
bris from the demolished portions of
the building and with refuse which
had been dumped there by tenants
who had left, and had never been re-
moved. This yard wus separated only
by a rotting fence with a single wood-
en mil from a small blind alley.
I took up my burden and placed it
at the end of the alley, covering it
roughly with some old burlap bags
which lay there. I thought it safe to
assume that the police would look
upon the dead man as the victim of
some footpad.
Hewlett plans to protect
Jacqueline from the conse-
quences of what he believes
is her deed and to take her
to her home.
(TO BE CONTINUED.)
Unlucky Thirteen.
A correspondent suggests that the
origin of the “unlucky thirteen” super-
stition is to be found in the casting
lots by Hanan to discover a “lucky
day” for the destruction of the Jews.
The 13th was certainly a most unfor-
tunate selection In this case, and the ,
story was so popular in the middle
ages that it may renlly have given
rise to the superstition.
Wonder of Plant Life.
A species of the acacia tree attains
a height of about eight feet. When
full grown it closes Its leaves together
In colls each day at sunset. Thus set-
tled It will flutter violently if touched,
and if the branches are shnken the
tree will emit a nauseating odor. The
uafives eall It the “angry tree.”

TEST OF GRAPE FERTILIZERS
Summary of Results Obtained at
Geneva Station—Nitrogen Hae
Been Most Helpful.
After a ten-year test of fertilizers
for grapes on the substation at Fric-
tion In, N. Y.t the Geneva Experiment
station summarizes tho results us fol-
lows :
These tests show that nitrogen,
phosphorus and potassium have bad
a marked bonellclul effect upon wood
growth, yield and quality of fruit
Grapes Are Healthful and Delicious,
The data Indicate Umt of the three
elements nitrogen has been moat help-
ful.
Potassium has given more pro-
nounced results than phosphorus up
to the present, although the latter hus
had a more beneficial effect upon tho
green-manure crops In the vineyard.
Nitrogen has not only affected fa-
vorably the growth of wood, but it
has Increased the fruit and given
lurger berries and clusters. Phos-
phorus uml potassium have Increased
the production of wood and fruit, but
have not Influenced the quality of the
fruit to the same extent as the nltro- I
gen. Potassium has caused earllef i
ripening of the foliage than the other
elements.
Even though the same number of
ennes be tied up for fruiting purposes, j
tire data show that the fertilizer plats
have produced n decided gain of fruit
over the unfertilized.
The foliage, after the first few
years, 1ms been of better color and
size In the pints to which nitrogen
was applied. That from the phosphor-
us and potassium plats ranked second, j
with that from tho check u poor third.
PUCE FOR COMMON STORAGE
Do Not Afford as Advantageous Corv
ditions as Do Modern Commer-
cial Warehouses.
(Prepared by tho United States Depart-
mont of Agriculture.)
Common storages for apples do not
offer as adequate and satisfactory
conditions ns do the modern commer-
cial warehouses, but nevertheless,
there Is u distinct place for common
storage on the calendar of many up-
pie producers, as It provides facilities
for the temporary protection of the
fruit so that It can be graded, packed
and placed In cold storage, or else j
marketed during the early part of the
storage season.
Under favorable climatic conditions
coinnmn-stornge bouses can be so con-
structed and operated as to furnish
satisfactory conditions for carrying
the crop throughout the normal stor-
age season. The failure of the early
common-storage houses were due prin-
cipally to faulty construction and lo-
cation, ns well as to lack of apprecia-
tion of the fundamentals underlying
proper storage conditions for the J
fruit.
Many of these structures were In- i
adequately Insulated and provided j
with Insufficient means for ventilation, l
so that the fruit could not bo prompt- I
ly cooled directly after picking and 1
held under favorable conditions.
