"I shall watch for the pi-'tman," eaid Sir Dudley grimly. Without any pretence at fcm-d leave-taking, Mra. Simon Tricksy found henwlf outsido the hou«e, trampinij to the railway Etatioii.

Passing into the cluing rcoai wher'S â- Mr. Trickey had so recently given up the ghost, she took a bunch of keys from her pocket and opened an imita- tion Sheraton bureau- A moment later she opened a drawer and found it â€" empty ! She got herself under control at last; "It's that â€" Ivy," the mutteredi "That was a rotten excuse sh« made for coming hack the day Simon turnisd up his toes. I'll go and wring it out of her â€" or wring her bsastly neck." A prowling taxi, rooted out of the Brixt<Jn Road, cari-ied the wrathful young widow to Vectis Mansions. She nasg the bell of Mrs. eoningsby's lux- urious flat, and, brushing aside the servant who opened to her, burst into the drawing room, Mrs. Coniingsby rose from a couch by the fire and eyed tTTe intruder not altogether kindly. "Whatever is the matter, Maud?" she exclaimed. "You might have a little considtratjon for my pcor nerves." " "Matter?" shrilled the acta-ess. "Nerves? What about my nerves., you artlful cat? I've come for the diai-y you sneaked out of Simon's bureau the day he died." "My dear Maud, you are raving- 1 wasn't aware he kept a diary and I ctrtainly haven't sneaked one, as j'ou so elegantly put it." Miss Maud Blair's limited initelli- gciice grappled with the pix>blem of how much truth there was in this. She recognized that she might have been rash in preferring an accusation based only on the opportunity which her sister-in-law had had. She would have to beat a retreat with what grace she could. "Sorry, dear," she said. "It must have been that beastly Gladys. - No one else had a chance. I'll go home and tax her with it, as soon as the slut comes in." . After her vsitor's departure Mrs. Coningjiby sank down on the couch and covered her face with her hands. "I with I could tell her where the diary it," ^he sighed.

A minuite later her maid came to her and announced that Sir Dudley Glenister was In the dmwing room. When she entered that apartment a few deift touches with aundi-y pig- nuenta and a moderate use of the powder-putr had thoroughly justified her visitor's i-emark: "By jove, Ivy, how well you axe kmking!" Mrs. Ooningsby waved the baronet to a chair and subsided on to the re- cently vacated sofa. "You didn't come here to flatter me," kIio said "Well, hardly," Sir Dudley laughed. "I came here to see if you really meant the i>ronii.«e you made me at Becchwood. Yo\i said if I got into a tight place vou might be able to help." "Things have taken a wrong turn?" "As yet not definitely, but I am netting the jumps'. That vindictive little devil, Kathleen, is waiting her chance and shtt narrowly missed a knock-out.

The Sun The sun had been sending Its rays down on bathers, pastures, cattle and babbling brooks and was very tired and hot and not In such a nice mood, (or a large cloud had passed In front o( him, cutting oft his rays and mak- ing him very angry Indeed. So, when 6 o'clock came, he was looking for- ward to a nice cool meal, adn as he sank, leaving the sky a beautiful red, he was thinking only of getting home. As he went he met the moon on Its way to lighten the sky so that ships oiwtbe sea would not go to destruc- tion, and so that fatrles and elves would not get confused and bang into each othet- while doing their midnight dances. They passed the time of day and went on. Soon he met the moon's helpers, the stars, all tripping along gaily in their sliver sheen. He passed the time of day with them, also, and went on. Then he met the dew, its freshness made him very cool Indeed, but Mr. Sun only bowed. He and the dew were not very good friends, for he dried np tho dew and made It very warm and uncomfortable. He met the breezes and wished them good evening and passed on. When he got home he ate bis sup- per and then he sat on bis front porch and talked. Soon he went to bed, (or Mr. Sun had to be up at six o'clock In the morning, unless Mr. italu sent him word that be was on duty and that bis services would not be re- quired.

Edison, ac- corillng to Dr. John K. Small, In in- formation recsivad at the .New York 13o:anical Qard-jn Dr. Small Is the head curator ct the antseiira.i and herbarium of t'ae garden and la aid- ing Mr. Edison in his search for rub- ber producing plants in Florida. If Mr. Edison's analysis ot the tissue ot cattl reveals the presence of rub- ber, the natural vegetation ot Flor- ida may provide a prolific find, the re- sort says. In addit^n to the cacti Investiga- tion, Mr. Edison and Dr. Small are experimenting with orchids. Some of these plants are so small they may be hidden under a iialf-doUar piece while others, Dr. Small reports, are so large they tax a man's strength to lift. Dr. Small Is enthusiastic over the developments along both lines. "The explorations carried on in connection with the scientific work ot the New York Botanical Garden by Dr. Small have brought to life a vast cactus growth not before known to exist in Florida, and now open to sci- entific study." he said, "The Florida field work ot the Gar- den ^has increased the known cactus flora by 300 per cent. In other words, whereas five general and seven species were known, we now have definite knowledge ot forty species-. "The cactus growth ot the Penins- ular State is still quite varied, fur one may find cactus trees up to thirty feet tall and cacus m^ts with little plants scarcely as large as the end ot one's finger. "Between these extremes arc shrubs and vines ct various sises and habits, bearing flowers not much larg- er than the bead ot a pin to those over a toot long and a toot In diame- ter. Living specimens ot all the cacti ot Florida are thriving In the conservatories ot the New York Botanical Garden." Dr. Small, who recently reported that Mr. Edison was seeking rubber from ferns, was chosen to accom- pany the scientist because of his knowledge ot the Florida flora. Mr. Edison passed some time at the Gv- den in Bronx Park last summer test- ing cacti and euphorbi-.v plants o! the spurge family for rubber.
