An old minnow bucket hung on
agnail in the woodshed at our
house. It was used but once dur
ing the Eeason.
People have been flocking to
the Grand theatre of late to see
the last raid of the James and
.Younger brothers, directed at a
bank fn Northfield, Minnesota,
which, as planned by Jesse James,
was to furnish them with the cap
ital necessary to a life of peace.
The Northfield venture was not a
success. On the contrary, it was
a complete failure. And we north
ern Iowa youngsters knew in our
hearts that it would bo so. But we
were mightily relieved when it
was over. Jesse was the only one

rate, it is bo I recall the circum

by a cowardly shot in the back
from a former associate. Desper

CHAPTER XXII
"111 leave Andrews to Finch," Sir
Francis decided. "It seems to me
at the moment as' though someone
had followed Fergus down from
London. If so, the letters are prob
ably in Pans by now."
"Are you going to tell me what
was in those letters, sir? Hatres
ser asked
"That's why I begged for an in
vitation to Sandringham so as to
have a bona fide excuse for calling
in to see yon. One letter concerned

7. Theft of that message makes the
whole business in which the For-
' eiga Office Is concerned extraordi

"It Is a record of plain unvar
Bished facts,1 If atresser said firmly.
. "My dear riuow, we realise that
and we are tremendously grateful,"
Sir Francis declared, "u those facts
had leaked oat afterwards, provided
oar great move comes off. there
would have been an uproar. W
should have had a red hot press
against as. Too did what we asked
yon to do by telling us the simple
' troth, Hatreaser, and I wont have a
lino ef your report altered. We
:- shall have to f deal with Number
Seven separately. . '
-v "What about theether letter?".
Ton will probably smile when I
tell yon its Contents and it will take
me the best part of an hour to ex
plain exactly Its-significance. The
letter contains an invitation from a
certain-: person in . mid-Europe to
spend a fortnight with him at his
shooting box in the Metzger Moun
tains." . i
"From a stranger?" Matresser
asked. -
1 dont think t likely that you
have ever met him," was the
thoughtful reply. 3e is a very
charming person, however, and al
though he is not EnglisKhimself, he
appears to have a great affection
for our race. You will take with you
the usual outfit rifle and I sup
pose a couple of shotguns, with cart
ridges from number twos to sevens.
Let it look as much like a genuine
porting expedition as possible."
"And when I arrive with this
arsenal?"
Sir Francis was silent for several
momenta. . . r t-
"I shall have to wander for a few
minutes," ha said, "from the imme
diate subject of our discussion. Yon
. have shown yourself capable of
helping as to such an extent that I
am going to take you still farther
Into ear confidence.1
" Matresser pulled op his chair
closer to his visitor's. He leaned
forward and listened intently.
"The fact ef It la," Sir Francis
began, fthat neither you nor anyone
else outside the Cabinet knows ex
actly how serious the present situa
tion la. Even the press dare not
acknowledge It. Our ambassadors
keep as on the Jump the whole ef
the time.' , . . - .
, "Where's the danger, sir?" Mat-
. resser askedV;.-.:.: --5-
"Germany, ef coarse. She is the
strongest and best prepared nation
to Europe and she knows it. The
euTiou thing about it is that the
man who Is chiefly responsible for

defied an Europe and broken ever
covenant, is the man who today de

"That seems rather urprixinc''
Matresser observed Quietly.
"I am not guessing," Sir Frauds

case had he died in a fair fight.
The 20th Century .Fox film is
frankly a somewhat garbled story
of the last venture of the gang.
It was Jesse's plan to retire after
the Northfield raid. He said he
had had enough, and the North
field raid was made for the pur
pose. of keeping the wolf from the
door so long as he remained on
earth. The t orte of the James, boys
was not bank robbery. The attack
on the Northfield-bank established
this fact for all time. .
I have known a number of
people who knew the James
brothers intimately. There is
amongst them general agreement
that Jesse was a bad citizen large
ly because he "got off on the
wrong foot. There was something
of the hero in him.
Did I ever tell you that I once
took the agency for "The Life and
Adventures of Frank and Jesse
James." Published in St. Louis,
as I remember it. The book had a
pretty good sale. But father
thought I had better not continue
the agency. I never quite under
stood what he meant when he said
that the book was not worthy of
the efforts made to sell it. I never
quite understood why, but of re
cent years 'Something similar to
an understanding of bis meaning
has come to me. Father was not
a finicky man, either.
There is a heap, of talk in prog
ress relative to the coming fair
at New York. And more talk is
in progress respecting the show
at San Francisco. Much of it is, of
course, just talk, but the indica
tions at this time are that the
attendance, which it is foregone
will be big, will include the larg
est attendance from here of any
similar exhibition. I am planning
to attend both shows, but will
probably attend neither. However,
there is no harm in planning.
I shall probably not see New
York this summer. Still well,

interview. I know what it is he is
really fearing."
"A return to monarchy?"
"Precisely. There are at least
three of the present generation of
Hohenzollerns who are lusty, ambi
tious fellows and they have been
living before their public in the one
hope that some day the country will
swing back and they might be
chosen to take Hellstern's place. The
students are alt with them and curi
ously enough, the army, fashioned
and developed by the Dictator, is be
coming more and more royalist
every day. Not one of those three
likely candidates for the throne of
the new Germany can show himself
in the streets today- without being
saluted and applauded."
"And France?"
"Our alliance with France has be
come almost a fetish of honor with
os all," Sir Francis said gravely.
"And frankly, Matresser, we may
have to race at any moment a ter
rible decision. There's not anyone
in we laoinet or out ox it who could
pretend that France has treated this
country well since the war. She only
once made a gesture ox being our
ally at Geneva and to the matter of
sanctions she did her best to hean
all the onus of making a decision
upon us and as alone. She never
for a single moment played the
honest game. You know as well as I
do, Matresser, that there is not a
more unpopular country in France
today than England. They dont
trust as. . They dont believe in us.
In the press there they eall as a na
tion of hypocrites. We have been
stupid often enough but we have not
deserved such an attitude on their
part. That is one of the things we
are op against, Matresser. It boils
itself down to this. Are we to risk
everything that this nation stands
for by fighting Germany ..for the
sake of France?"
"You are being extraordinarily
candid with me, Sir Francis," Mat
resser observed.
"We have more faith in yon than
you have in yourself," was the blunt
reply. "Now that we have begun,
let os go through with it. There's
Italy. Well, my own opinion is that
Hellstern's turn-about-face is en
tirely due to the disaster which has
befallen that country. Matorni em
barked upon what he considered a
perfectly safe and glorious war in
Abyssinia, a hollow victory, and
then came Spain. ...
"Today, Dictator Matorni is fac
ing doom as a tyrant whose author
ity is falling away from him. Hell
tern looks across the Alps and shud
ders. The only thing that could re
store Matorni's popularity would be
if he were able to join any combina
tion ef nations strong enough to
make war against this country.
"Meanwhile, the Crown Prince of
Italy, who once was utterly neg
lected, becomes more and more popu
lar every day. Only last week be
was received, with, cheers at the
opening of the Opera while Matorni
took his place alone and in silence.
In Austria well, the people doat
even trouble to conceal the fact that
the only thing they are praying for
now is a Hapsburg back upon the
ancient throne. w
"We have to face the musk," Sir
Francis Tring went on, "but exactly
what policy to embrace, which will
enable as to retain ear honorable
place among the nations and vet
keep England safe, la a dire prob
lem. What we fear most fa being

Mrs Giina Bones
Passes 81st Year
TURNER Mrs. China Bones
has Just celebrated her 81st birth
day at her home. Shejwas born in
Tennessee January 25, 1858, com
ing to Oregon with her husband
and children in 1903, establishing
their home about six miles south
of Salem on the old Turner-Sahjm
road. After her husband's death
she moved to Turner, where she
has resided about 15 years.
She is very entertaining when
telling stories of the south land;
enjoys fairly good health for one
of her age, often gets out to pub
lic gatherings, and frequently, vis
its at the homes of her eight
children.
Present were Mr. and Mrs. C.
Mundinger, Mr. and Mrs. M. Stan-

and China, Russia will never move
a single man westwards to the help
of France even if she were other
wise inclined to do so. Your Chinese
work was wonderful, Matresser.
Without official recognition you
seem to have won the confidence of
all the men who stand for the new
China and everything you predicted
is justifying itself. It is, as you'
pointed out, a perfectly logical oat
come of the spread of western civili
sation among the yellow-skinned
races that they should draw closer
to one another and present a united
front. We are with you also to all
that yon say about America, al
though there we have been able,
without your report, to arrive at
definite conclusions. America win
never intervene again to European
quarrels. It is not to be asked of or
expected from the United States."
Matresser rose from his chair and
paced the room thoughtfully for sev
eral minutes.
"Yon nave not taken me so far
into your confidence, Sir Francis, I
am sure," he said, "without some
definite reason. Yon know that I am
not a diplomat."
"Really?" ,
"Really. I am more of an adven
turer with the knack of keeping my
wits about me 'and facing danger
when it is there. But does all this
mean you have another job for me?"
"Would you go on another mis
sion, more dangerous, even more
brimful of responsibility?''
"I cannot fancy myself refusing,"
was the brief reply.
"This one would be a matter of a .
few weeks only."
"But how far should I have to
travel?" Matresser asked.
"Just to a certain shooting lodge
on the eastern frontier of Germany,
the same expedition I have spoken of
before. There will be negotiations
there in which yon will take part."
"Couldn't that be better done from
the Berlin Embassy?"
Sir Francis smiled deprecatingly.
"My dear fellow," he remon
strated, "the German espionage
system is getting to be one of the
finest in the world. It is today very
nearly as good as our own. I forget
what oar staff is at the Embassy,
but there is not a single member,
down to the typists employed by the
various secretaries, who is not
watched. The bead of the police
there could tell yon. where our see-'
ond and third secretaries, for in
stance, dined and sunned even
night for the last three months."
Should I have to carry any ta
pers?" -
"Not a line. The whole affair
would be unofficial."
I imagine my mission would be
connected to some way with my last
two years' work." .

island, then nothing but salty sand
dredged from the bay. A budget
of 11,500,000 was alloted for
landscaping and flowers, and with
that here's some of the things
he has done:
Planted there 4000 boxed trees,
from 20 to 75 feet tall, so they
look as though they had grown
on the island. Selected and plant
ed 70,000 shrubs; planted 357,000
bulbs last November; also 10,000
ranunculi, 5000 anemones and
other bulbs to total nearly half a
million.

time. . Some - of
my -readers have
written , me re
cently that they
were disappoint
ed -that the
Christmas rose
was not to bloom
at Christmas and
that perhaps
they were osing
the wrong kind
of soil for the
plant. Another
Reader wrote to
ask if the Christ
mas rose was a house plant.
The Christmas rose is a hardy
herbaceous . perennial. It is ad
mired largely for its v e r y early
flowers and attractive foliage.
But it seldom gets in bloom by
Christmas. In a number of gar
dens it is coming into bloom now.
Winters which are a little colder
than this has been so far hold the
Christmas rose back from bloom
until late in February or very
early in March.
The Christmas rose will thrive
in any ordinary garden soil, but
will give best results if a soil of
rich loam and coarse sand, with a
top-dressing of manure has been
used. A moist, well-drained, par

One of the spectacular flower
arrangements will be the 21-acre
Persian carpet on the west side
of the island thousands of South
African mesembryanthemums in

Vegetables Arranged
Along the west facade, vegetar
ians will find their favorite foods
used for decorations. One arrange
ment will be long foreground rows
of red beets, backed by red cab
bages with final rows of curly
cabbages; these gone, later matur
ing vegetables will be planted.
The flower beds, too, are so
planned that replacements will be
made as plants finish blooming,
always with an eye to annuals,

Doesn't Like Moving
The Christmas rose rather re

not bloom for the first year or two
after it has been moved. If-per-
Imitted the plants will seed them-

I Kalmia and American Laurel
are one and the same thing. The

I Mountain Laurel, is one of the

cal pink flowers are bound to at

not grow very rapidly, but it will
bear flowers when very small. The
foliage itself, which is evergreen,
is attractive.
The Kalmias thrive best in san
dy, peaty or loamy soil and will
not grow to'olay or limestone.
While they thrive fairly well in
sunny , locations, they do best if
given partial shade. The rhodo
dendrons and 'the Kalmias thrive
nnder practically the same condi

this spring. The plants are pur

melias and rhododendrons.
SO Species Hawthorne
One correspondent wants to
know if there is more than one
kind of hawthorne. She writes
that she believes she has seen
some with darker flowers than
hers have. There are over 50 'spe
cies listed in the horticultural en
cyclopedias. The one known as
Paul's thorn is perhaps the most
showy. Paul's new double scar
let is much sought after. There
are others listed under the Oxy
acantha specie which are white,
pink, single and semi-double.
There is one variety of this spe
cie where the flowers are white
in the center and edged with red.
The hawthornes grow well in
exposed positions and do not, as
a rule, like much shade. They
like a limestone soil but will grow
well in rich loamy soil and even
in clay.
There are almost half as many
species of dogwood as there are of
the hawthorne. So often garden
ers will purchase a tree or shrub.

Mrs. G. C. The tulip tree had
best be transplanted this spring
just before it starts its new
growth. ! Transplanting tulip trees
is not particularly easy. However,
when once established it grows
very well.
Tips oa Hyacinths -
O. G. W. Yes, the hyacinths
which have bloomed in the house
may be planted out of doors, but
they will not bloom -again this
spring and may not bloom . next.
Bulbs which have been forced
lose much of their vitality. They
can, however, be brought back for
a time, If one cares to bother with
them. You say, you want hya
cinths. Well, they should have
been planted last autumn. This
is not the proper time of the year
to plant; spring flowering bulbs.
Certain of the lilies may be
planted out this spring. Lilium
candidum must be planted in the
early fall as it makes a leaf
growth which it carries over the
winter. Lilium Speciosum, a late
summer bloomer, does very well
if planted in the early spring.
Strangely enough, this lily will
grow in soil that contains lime,
but does much better if planted
in an acid soil. The balbs should
be set around ten inches deep. A
small lily which may also be
planted in early spring Is the Lil
ium rebellum, a rose-colored,
August-flowering variety. It is
particularly suitable for the rock
garden as it does best in a grav
elly soil. It also likes some

wants some that do not need much
pruning or spraying. He writes
he has an ideal place for a shruY
border, where .''even some rather
small trees could be used."
Some of the viburnums are al
most fool proof. For instance, the
iaurustlnus. This seems to do
well regardless of the care it g-;s.
It is evergreen; can be pruned if
needed, doesnt require spraying
and will do rather well in almost
any soil. The Abelia is another
satisfactory sort of shrub. It may
be pruned more or less to the
ground In early spring, or it may
be let a 1 o n e . It doesn't need
spraying and it is not overly par
ticular about its soil condition.
Both of these have attractive flow
ers. The dogwoods, hawthornes'
witchhaxels, and Snowballs do not
need much pruning. The Anthonv
Waterer splrea does best if rut
almost to the ground each spring.
Leave only a few of the younger
and stronger branches, and cut
them back vigorously.
Flowering trees which are
worth adding (in reply to A Sa
lem Gardener) to a rather large
lawn might include the haw
thornes, the dogwoods, the large
catalpas In either the white or
lavender coloring, tulip trees,
magnolias, the flowering crabs,
cherries and plums, locusts, red
bud (and it's a beauty).
Small shrubs might include the
Japanese Barbery, Darwin Bar
bery, Box Barbery, dwarf bush-
honeysuckle, coralberry, Daphne,
heathers, viburnum carlesl.
