Uy Gcr Bur HcCuteke CnfMil, M). bf Bold. Nm4 4 chapter m. vaxt riaisoss nr suvixw. TKUXTON KINO witnessed the review of the garrison. That In Itself was rather a tame ex hlbltlon for a man who had seen the finest troops la all the world. A thousand earnest looking soldiers, proud ef the opportunity to march be fore the little prince, and that was all. bo far as the review was concerned, Mr. King saw the court la all Its glory scattered n.'onfr the shady Castle sxenue In carriages, in traps, in mo tors and In the saddle. Ills brain whirled and bli heart leaped under the pressure of a new found Interest In Mfe. If Truxtoa King had Riven up In dis gust und tied to Vienna this talc would never hare come to light." Instead of betnir tho llvflr narrntlvo of n vountr gentleman's adventures In faraway j cd suddenly, Graustarlc, It might have become n talc of the smart set In New York. Xor, as you know, we are bound by 'tradition to follow the trail laid down Toy our hero, no matter which way he elects to fare. lie confided to bis friend from Cook's that he could nev er have forgiven himself if be had nd Itered to his resolution to leave on the following day. "I didn't know you'd changed your mind, sir." remarked Mr. Hobbs in nrprlse. "Of conrso yon didn't know It," said Truxton. "How could you? I've Just changed it this Instant. I didn't know it myself two minutes ago. No, sir. Hobbs or Is It Dobbs? Thanks. No, air, I'm going to stop here for a well, a week or two. Where the dickens do 'these people keep themselves? I haven't seen 'em before." "Oh. they are the nobility the swells. They don't hang around the streets like tourists and rubbernecks, sir," in plain disgust. "I say, who is that Just passlngr tho lady In the victoria r King asked abruptly. "That is the Countess Marlanx." "Whew I I thought she was the queen. t Hobbs went into details concerning tho beautiful countess. "I was Just going to ask if you know anything about a young woman who eccastoeklly tends shop for William Bpantz, the armorer," King finally asked. Hooba' looked interested. "She's quite a beauty, sir, I give you my word. "I know that, Hobbs. But who is she?" "1 really cant say. sir. She's his . a word up a bit for me, and I'll drop Tslece, I've heard. Been here a little in tomorrow and get It, Here's CO ever a month. I think she's from War- gawos to bind tho bargain the rest Now she smiled divinely. "And why not, pray? Ills Riatcr was my mother." "lu order to establish n line on which to baso my calculations, would you mind telling mo who your father Is?" Ho asked tho question with his moat appealing smile, a smile so fnmkly im pudent that she could not rescut It. "My father Is dead," she said seri ously, "nud my mother is dead. Now can you understand why I am living hero with my uncle? Even an amateur may rise to that Now, sir, do you expect to purchase tho sword? If not I shall replace It in tho window." "That's what I came here for," said he, resenting her touo aud tho icy look sho gavo him. "I gathered that you camo in tho ca paclty of Sherlock Holmes or some thing else." She added the last three words with unmlstakablo meaning. She was leaulng toward him, her hands on the counter, a peculiar gleam In her dark eyes, which now for tho first time struck htm as rather more keen aud penetrating than he had sus pected before. "I simply want to tell you, Mr. King. that unless you really expect to buy this sword it is not wise In you to mako It an excuso for coming here." "My dear young lady, 1" "My uncle has a queer conception of the proprieties. He may think that you come to seo me. Young meu may chat with shopgirls all tho world over but in Edelweiss, no, unless they come to pay most honorable court to thorn. My uncle would not understand." "I take It, however, that you would understand," he said boldly. "I have lived In Vienna, lu Tarls and In London, but now I am living in Edelweiss. I have not been n shop girl always." "I can bclicvo that. My deductions are Justified." "My uncle Is returning," she remark- I must not talk to you any longer." She glanced uneasily ont upon the square and then hurried ly added, a certain wistfulness in her voice and eyes: "I couldn't help It to day. I forgot my place. But you are tho first gentleman I've spoken to since I came here." When Spantz entered the door the girl was going listlessly from the window and Truxton King was lean ing against the counter with his back toward her. his arms folded and a most Impatient frown on his face. Spantz's black eyes shot from ono to tho other. "What do you want?" he demanded sharply. "The broadsword. And, say, Mr. Spantz, you might assume a different toae in addressing me. I'm a cus tomer, not a beggar.' The girl left the window and walked slowly to the rear of the shop, passing through the narrow door, without so much as a glance at Klug or the old man. Spautz was silent until she was gone. "You wuut tho broadsword, eh?" he asked, moderating his tone considera bly. "It's a rare old" "I'll give you a hundred dollars not another cent." Interrupted King, not yet over his resentment There fol lowed a long and irritating argument, at the conclusion of which Mr. King became the possessor of the weapon at his own price. "I'll come in again," he said Indiffer ently. "But you are leaving tomorrow, sir." "I've changed my mind." Then you have discovered some thing in Edelweiss to attract you?" grinned the old armorer. "I dare say you're right Clean that In search of nd venture to follow tho lady of his choice from place to place. She came but recently, I recall." I "You thluk I kuew her before and .followed her to Edelweiss?" "I am not quite sure whether you havo beou lu Warsaw lately. There is n gap in your movements that 1 ' can't account for." I King became serious at once. Ho Hiw that It was best to bo frank with this keen old man. j "Baron Dangles, 1 dou't know Just ,wuat you are driving nt, but I'll set rou straight, so far as I'm concerned. I ucvor.snw that girl until the day be fore yesterday. 1 never spoke to her until today."

He was whistling gayly as ho en tered the little shop, ready to give a Cheery greeting to old Spantz and to js&ke him a temporizing offer for the broadsword. But it was not Spantz -who stood behind the little counter. Traxton flushed hotly and Jerked off als hat The girl smiled. "I beg pardon," ho exclaimed. "1 T'hj looking for Mr. Spantz. I" "Ile is out Will you wait" She -turned to the window, resuming the -wistful, preoccupied gaze down the avenue. "Beg pardon," be said politely. "1 wanted' to have another look at the broadsword there." Very quickly ho noticed that she went about It clumsily despite her aupplo gracefulness she withdrew tho ieavy weapon from the window and laid it upon the counter. "I am not not what you would call aa expert," she said frankly. "What's tho price?" he aBked, li. courage faltering under tho cool, 1 personal gaze. "I do not know. My uncle has t '.c you. I am quite new at the trai I hopo you will excuso my Ignoran My uncle will be hero In a moment on delivery. Good day, Mr. Spantz.' "Good day, Mr. King." "How do you happen to know my name? Spantz put his band over his heart and delivered himself of a most im pressive bow. "When so distinguished a visitor comes to our littlo city," bo said, "we lose no time In. discovering his name. It is a part of our trade, sir, believe me." "I'm not so sure that I do believe you," said Truxton King to himself as ho sauntered up the street toward the hotel. Mr. Hobbs, from Cook's, was at his elbow, tils, eyes glistening with eager ness. "I say, old Dangloss is waiting for you at tho Itegengetz, sir. Wofs up? Wot you been up to, sir?" "Dp to-up to, Hobbs'" "My word, sir, you must havo been or he wouldn't be there to see you." "Who is Dangloss?" "Minister of police. Haven't I told you?

A tower platform should bo built over the spray wagon so that tho tops of large trees can be properly sprayed. Tho bodies of the thrips, both adults nnd lnrvac, aro decidedly oily nnd strongly resistant to all sprays which do not readily assimilate the oil.

(To Bo Continued.) is tho spray which is now recom mended. It can bo npplicd with safety to opening buds, hut should not bo used on trees in full bloom. Blossom potnls nre more sensitivo to injury' from spraying than nny other parts of n tree; but, since they soon fall, the damogo, nlthough notice- jable, is not often serious. This spray .cnn bo applied to tho trees immedi ately nftor tho blossoms hnvo fallen, nnd later to tho folingo for adults nnd lnrvnc. The first application fcbould prop erly be mnde when tho thrips nre coming from tho ground in largo numbers, nnd tipfnrfl Mm oliiRtnr inula are too fnr advanced. The winter buds, or frmt buds, as they nre com monly called, should be just break ing thoir scales. Whoro tho thrips nro very numerous, it may bo neces sary to immediately follow this first iilpplicntion with n second. Another j application cnn be made immediately after the petals fall, to kill tho re Imnining ndults, but more especial) v I to kill the larvae. Tho adults should byy nil means bo nttnckod first. TJio spraying for larvae is morely to al leviate tho minor injury of roughen ing tho fruits, nnd to protect the trees for tho following year by kill ing tho larvae before thoy got into tho ground. The mothod of making nnd mixing tho spray is as follows: Blnck-lenf tobneco extract, 1 gal lon; distillate oil emulsion. lVa pori GUARDIAN'S SAMS.
