IXCItEASE WITH AGE
The perennial . vegetables are
those which are permanent fix
tn res and come up regular, year
after year, increasing in Vigor and
productiveness. The two principal
ones are asparagus and rhubarb.
An asparagus bed Is an investment
for several generations. It pays
to prepare the bed well and select
the best available varieties to In
stall in the bed.
Rhubarb is a delightful spring
tonic vegetable for sauces - and
pies. - Only a few hills are needed
VALK
and any corner, with a fair degree
of sunshine will do for this plant.
An attractive . plan is to plant a
row of rhubarb along a row' of
asparagus on the garden boun
dary as a decorative as well as
utilitarian feature of the garden,
r The asparagus bed may. well be
n'sed. for early vegetables between
ihe rows, such as lettuce, radishes,
spinach' and , young onions, which
do not make large : enough root

But with a walk a fixture, it must

situation may be ameliorated into

in gardens of small extent.-where
there would be no room for both

garden.",., r , . ,'. 7 7
Twelve : bills oft asparagus are
about the . minimum to plant for
a small family, and they should
be set' three feet apart each' way.
This will ; give ample room'; for
smaller early vegetables ' between
them. " J ',!-7"77 ;
'Another perennial vegetable
not as often seen' as it should' be
is the chive.a grassy, miniature

An allied perennial is the mul

earliest young . onions. This is
sometimes known ' as the potato

is a useful perennial feature of
the garden. . Asparagus' and' rhu

latter give a crop a season sooner.

height and; style of growth than
to bed ft solidly; to one variety.
Along that edges of the walk, colo
nies of low-growing plants will be
found most valuable to spread out
oyer the edges of the cement or
brick. Sweet alyssum, portulacca,
verbenas, dwarf nasturtiums,
dwarf marigolds. Swan river dai
t,Je8, ageratum and others offer
fine material for this purpose. In
planting opposing borders or
parallel beds with edging plants
the same plant colonies should be
planted opposite each other or
approximately opposite. The ef
fect will be greatly improved by
bearing this fact in mind. 11
. : Often edgings are planned for
beds along a walk, one kind oi
plant on one side and another on
the opposite. The plan seems al
luring when contemplated, but it
does not work out satisfactorily.
The'aame plant or series of plants
should be used 1 to : balance each
other on .both sides. ' The' same
principle holds true of the taller
growing plants. They need mot be
exactly opposite! to secure the ef
fect, but nearly enough so to
maintain balance. :r
stocks, marigolds, petunias and
verbenas offer a good selection.
They come " into bloom in two
months or even "sooner from seed,
and. each succeeding week produce
more bloom until cut down' by
frost. i
.Properly placed about the gar
den groups of these useful annuals
will make a sufficiently brilliant
show to give the appearance . of

too much rich food forms acids
which almost paralyze the kidneys

the weather is bad you have rheu

obliging you to seek relief two or
three times during the night. -,.

CHAPTER 402.
PERPLEXING SCENE MADGE
.WITNESSED BETWEEN DR.
PETTIT AND MRS. BARKER.
At Harry Underwood's ridicu
lous query concerning the treat
ment I wished given Dr. Pettit, I
permitted : myself the relaxation
of a laugh for the first time since
I had received Lillian's telegram.
The contrast between the digni
fied mien of the grandee he was
Impersonating ; and his rough,
slangy question was irresistible.
My merriment was almost' in
stantly checked, ' hdwever, by the
realization that if it possibly
could be avoided I must not per
mit a clash between the physician
and Harry Underwood.'
In the first place I did not wish
to "have Mrs. Barker perceive that
I knew the apparently foreign
stranger who had claimed the hos
pitality . of her ; hostelry for ; the
preceding night.
A Delicate Situation.
And in the second place, sober
reflection told me that I must not
permit Dr. Pettit to be humiliated,
as he would be, if the two men
clashed, and Harry Underwood
worked some freakish prank upon
him. While richly deserving any
thing that might happen to him.
the physician was still an old and
tried friend of my father's, and
the family practitioner.-" Any re
tribution which came upon him
must not have its channel through
me or anyone associated with me.
Mrs..' Barker was a different
proposition, however. There was
a grim humor about that lady tt
well as a most efficient air which
convinced me that ishe would
stand no nonsense from anyone in
the world. I turned to Mr. Un
derwood with the air of sharing
a confidence 7 : 7!
You haven't listed the half of
the things I'd like to bave done to
him," I said., "But. unfortunate
ly, he's father's friend and the
family physician, so I don't want
to hare him more angry at me
than he has to be. And, you
know" " ;
"That having me tickle him for
you would make him more red
headed than anything else?" he
countered with a quizzical smile;
"Don't be nonsensical," I retort
ed, angry at his reference to the
cause of the old feud between the
men. -
"I'm not only truthful," he
said, but I ignored him and went
on with a rush: i
"So if you'll please stay; out i
here while I go in and see what
Mrs. Barker la doing with him"
"The lady looks capable of1
turning him over her knee and
giving bim tbe spanking he
needs," he observed. "But let me
tell you something I'm not go
ing out of earshot or sprinting
distance. Little Herbie is a dan
gerous ch-ar-acter this morning, or
I'm no Judge. "I know he is
here." -
' "I don't want you-to go away,"
I said.. "But I don't want anyone
to learn your identity If it can be
helped. I suppose even now some
body in the windows above is
watching us and wondering at this
conversation."
? "Not a chance, old dear, he re
returned, with a grandiloquent lit
tle gesture. "If you'll notice I've
kept inside the skin of the charac
ter, bared head and all. And if
you need me don't sing out my
name. Just yell on general prin
ciples! I'll be right there. I am
honored madame."
- He bent low as I left him, and
I 1 heard a window softly open
above me as I went up the steps,
and I knew that some one was
giving his striking-looking figure
a close scrutiny.
" Dr. Pettit was gesticulating vio
lently in front j of Mrs. Barker's
