3 i A Good Lawn : . a Requires Work| J £ - || 4 ; y: Persons who desire good lawns td 2 can have them, but it will require Wn « : some effort on their part, especially BRN i in the early Spring. This is the AEE time when a little attention may he : save a considerable amount of work 5 NY later on, Just as soon as the snow 3 ; has disappeared and the soil is dry Ee : and firm enough to walk on, is the ; EE proper. time to remove all dead grass \ by giving the lawn a good raking. 3 2 This prevents the young shoots from getting smothered and aerates the soil arou the roots. There need be no feak' of pressing down hard on the rake handle; the grass will not be injured by rough treatment. - © Early Spring is the time also to fix up those bare patches with a little fresh seed. [IMirst rake them in thor- oughly to a depth of two inches. Then broadcast grass seed evenly, cover very lightly with a sprinkling of sifted soil, pack down. firmly, and water frequently with a fine spray. Kentucky blue grass is the best and most widely adapted lawn purposes. It is used as a base y 3 bt: for most lawn mixtures, because it 2 RE Lis very serviceable and long wear- ing. One of "thé best grass seed one pound of Colonial bent (brown top). To this may be added one- quarter ounce of white Dutch clover, if alittle clover in the lawn is de- sired. at the rate of three pounds per 1,000 square feet. In order to insure get- ting dependable clean seed, the pur- chaser should always insist on Grade 1. Lawn grass, like other living things, must have food if it is to grow normally. This food can be supplied at comparatively small cost and should be applied to the lawn just as soon as the raking and seed- ing has been done. There are on the market a number of ready mixed fertilizers, practically all of which will produce good results. It is im- portant to apply fertilizer very evenly and at the rates specified on the containers, because satisfactory results cannot be expected by apply- in one pound where five pounds are recommended and vice vera. As soon as the fertilizer has been ap- plied it should be well watered in, care being taken to use a fine spray so that the seed is not disturbed in "the newly seeded areas. On these seeded areas the ground should be kept moist, but not flooded, for about two weeks so that the young plants have a chance to become es- tablished. Cutting should be regular and should start just as soon as the grass is long enough to allow the mower to function properly. It is a mistake to allow the grass to grow over two inches long at any time. When cutting it is advisable to use a grass catcher and remove all cut- tings. This Material does harm by forming a mat around the crowns of the grass plants thus smothering young shoots ,and it is also helps weeds fo spread, as weed sceds are generally present in the cuttings and, if not removed, soon become established.

With a swift move- ment he tore the long cloak from '| the: man's shoulders, rolling 1t up in a bundle under his arm. By this 'time the house was awakening and the lights in every voom were being lit. One or two maids were at the front door, calling inquiries as to what 'was going on. A man-sérvant appeared at Foster's elbow, armed with a stick, and at his 'heels came a youth, who looked after the garage. . At" Foster's orders they lifted the man and bore him round to the back of the house and lail him on the floor of the kitchen. [Foster bent down to examine his wounds. It ws at one apparent that the mun was hopelessly shot up. His end was a matter of an hour or .o at most. "One-eye, we'll have to notify the police--"" He looked up. The mulatto was not at his side. But as one of the servants was going to carry out the order One-vye spoke. ~.-- "All right, dee. De police is on de way." } . " "You telephoned, One-eye?" "No, but dey is comin' quick."

They nodded to One-eye as if they had met before and Foster ra- pidly outlined the happenings. The inspector was businesslike and with- out fuss. : "We've got a hand ambulance at the gate, sir. We'll take him along right away. You will give us your statement later." "Certainly." As they hoisted the man up and wére carrying him off the inspector glanced admiringly - at One-eye. "See you later, Detective Uttock." "Sure," said One-eye, and shoved an oblong of chewing gum into his mouth. He tapped Foster's slioulder,. "We ain't finished yet, doc. gotta get de son." "Of course, but where--?" "Come." : Foster followed him to the front doo. One of the house cars was drawn up, all humming ready for a run, its headlights streaming across the lawn. At the wheel sat Xlsie Monteith. Foster stared. "Step in, doc." Foster stepped in, the door banged and they were away. "What does this mean, One-eye?"
