Success with bulbs depends more aan anything else on proper root growth, and most of the failure and disappointment amongst those who have potted up a few bulbs and imown them on, with the only result a few leaves of stunted growth and no bloom can be traced to this cause If the plants were turned oat of the pot it would be hand in many cases that there were very few roots. Some varieties of bulbs will not stand fore.. ing at all, others will stand a certain amount and some can be forced to come, into bloom several weeks ahead of time. The easiest grown and the ones that offer the most chnnce of suc- cess when grown in the house are the Paper White Narcissus and the Chinese Sacred Lily, which can tre; grown in pots in the usual manner or in fiat bowls of water, the bulbs being‘ kept in place by pebbles-there how's or pots should be kept in a dark cool place until roots have been formed, and when brought to the light they should be placed where they can get the most sunshine, otherwise the leaves and flower stalks will grow very "h. and weak. These bulbs are for indoor use only, not being suitable or outdoor planting in Canada. If l, ribs are planted in succession a week or two upon the period of bloom can] be lengthened considerably.--) 11' in the Montreal Star. 1 HOW TO ORDER PATTERNS.

'dk '" a kind of monster whom he himself, like Frankenstein, had created, and who was now rising to destroy him. And this intellectual enmity was aug- mented by a primitive emotional jeal- ousy. For ten years he had centred in Belle Dillard the accumulated affec- tion of a life of solit'ry bachelorhood, and when he saw that Arnesson was llikely to take her from him, his hat- "Arnesson has" already suggested the motive for these insane crimes," he began. "The professor knew that his position in the world of science was being usurped by the younger man. His mind had begun to lose its, force and penetration; and he real. ized that his new book on atomic structure was being made possible only through Arnesson’s help. A col- ossal hate grew up in him for his foe- ter son; Arnesson became in his eyes When Markham and Vance and I departed from the Ddlard house an hour later, I thought the Bitshofairair was over. And it was over as far as the public was concerned. But there was another revelation to come; and it was, in a way, the most astounding of all the facts that had been brought to light that day. Heath joined us at the District At- torney's office after lunch, for there were several delicate official matters to be discussed; and later that after- noon Vance reviewed the entire case, explaining many of its obscure points. red and resentment were doubled in intensity. "There was no dang er of that. And I want to apologize for the way I've treated you this past half hour. Mere- ly a matter of tactics. Y' see, we hadn't any rea! evidence, and I was hopin' to force his hand." Arnesson grinned sombrely. "No apology necessary, old son. I knew you didn't have ye ur eye on me. When you began riding me I saw it was only technique. Didn't know what you were after, but I followed your cues the tr"! 1 could. Hope I didn't bungle the job." "No, no. You turned the trick." "Did I?" Arnesson frowned with deep perplexity. "But what I don't understand is why he should have taken the cyanide when he thought it was I you suspected." "That particular point we'll never __ ov," said Vance. "Maybe he tear- ed the ttirl's identification. Or he may have seen through my deception. Per- haps he suddenly revolted at the :dea of shouldering you with the onus. . . . As he himself said, no one knows what goes on in the human heart during the last dark hour." Amesson did not move. He was looking straight into Vance’s eyes with penetrating shrewdness. "The motive is understandable," said Markham, "but it does not ex. plain the crimes.” "The motive acted as a spark to the dry powder of his pent-up emotions. In looking about for a means to tit, stroy Arnesson, he hit upon the Gia. boxit-nl jest of the Bishop murders. The-M murders gave relief to his re- presdcns; they met his psychic need for wolent expression; and at the same time they answered the dark Question in his mind how he could lis- pose t.f Arnesson and keep Belle Dil- lard for himself." ' _ "Oh, well," he said at length; "we'll! let it go at that. . . Anyway, thanks!". "You overlook the psychological aspects of the situation. The profes- sor’s mind had disintegrated through long intense repression. Nature was demanding an outlet. And it was his passionate hatred of Arnesson that brought‘the pressure to an explosion point. The two impulses. were thus combined. In committing the murders he was not only relieving his inhibi. tions, but he was also venting his " knew tbs professor hated mc," he said. "He was intensely jealous of my inte est in Belle. And he was los- ing his intellectual trriit--i've seen that for months. I've done all the work on his new book, and he's resent- ed every academic honor paid me. I've had an idea he was back of all this deviltry; but I wasn't sure. I didn't think, though, he'd try to send me to the electric ehair." Vance got up and, going to Arne: son, held out his hand. "But why," Markhttnrasked, "didrft he merely murder Arnesaon and hive done with it?". Arnesson did not seem as surprised as one would have expected. "Oh, yes," nodded Vance. "You were to pay the penalty, You’d been chosen from the first as ‘he victim. He even suggested the possibility of your guilt .0 us." . "Eh? What's that?" turned from the telephone "Oh, I've half suspected the truth ever since Pardee's death," Vance went on, in answer to the other's un- spoken question. "But I wasn’t sure of it until last night when he went out of his way to hang the guilt on Mr. Arnesson." CHAPTER hL.--(Cont'd.) Markham was glaring at Vance with dazed comprehension.

VAN DINE A messon "Why, when you hopped up ard pointed at that plate on the mantel, did you switch Arnesson's and the old gent’s glasses?" Vance sighed deeply and gave a hopeless wag of the head. "I might have known that nothing could escape your eagle eye, Ser- geant." "What's this?" he spluttered, his usual self-restraint desertmg hiue. "You changed the glasses? You de- liberately---" "This is no time for evasion." Mark- ham’s voice was cold and inexorable. “I want an explanation." Vance made a resigned gesture. "My idea, as I've explained, was to fall in with the professor's, plan and appear to suspect Arnesson. This morning I purposely let him St? that we had no evidence, and that, even if we arrested Arnesson, it was doubtful if we could hold him. I knew that in the circumstances he would take "ome action. Then the wine gave me an inspiration. Knowing he had cya tide in his possession, I brought up the subject of suicide and thus planted the idea in his mind. He fell into the trap, and attempted to poison Ames. son and make it appear like suicide. I saw him surreptitiously empty a small phial of com-less mud into Amesao t't, glass at the ideboard when he poured the wine. My first intention was to halt the minder and have the "wine analyzed. We could have searched him and found the phial, and I could have tetstified to the act that 1 saw him poison the wine. This evidence, in addition to the identiNation of the child, might have answered our pur- pose. But'I decided on I simpler eotsrge..-" Markham thrust himsq over the desk and glare with angry bewilderment "Oh, I say!" pleaded Vance. "Lst not your wrathful passions rise." He turned to Heath with mock reproach "Behold what you‘ve got me in for, Sergeant." The Sergeant shifted his position uneasily, took his cigar slowly 1mm his mouth, and asked a startling ques- tion. "Yoa took the law in your own hands!" "Do you bring a rattlesnake to the bar of justice? Do you give a mad "Why," he asked at length, "did you not tell us last night that the pro- essor and not Arnesson was the Bish. op" You let us think--" "My dear Markham! What 're could I do? In the first place, you wouldn’t have believtd me, and would most likely have suggested nno‘her ocean trip, what? Furthermore, it was essential to let the professor think we suspected Arnesson. Other- wise we'd have had no chance to fore the issue as we did. Subterfuge was our only hope; and I knew that if you and the Sergeant suspected him you‘d be sure to give the game away. As it was, you didn't have to dissemble; and lo! it all worked out beautifully." "He waited a long tinle before he called our attention to 'The Pretend- ers'," commented Markham. Markham did not speak for sacral moments. He sat frowning reproach- fully, his fingers tapping a tattoo on the blotter. "Yes-oh, yes. That gave me Ao motive. At that moment I realized that the professor’s object was to shoulder Arnesson with the guilt, ard that the signature to the notes had been chosen for that purpose." "The fact is, he didn't expect to have to do it at all. He thought we'd discmer the name for ourselves." "You say you were convinced of Dil. lard's guilt last night when you -re- membered the character of Bishop Arnesson. . . . 'Y' "However, this fiendish scheme had one great disadvantage, though the professor did not see it. It laid the affair open to psychological analysis; and at the outset I was able to postu- late a mathematician as the criminal agent. The difficuhy of naming the murderer lay in the fact that nearly every possible suspect was a mathe. matician. The only me I knew to be innocent was Arnesson, for he was the only one who consistently maitair- ed a psychic balance-that its, who constantly discharged the emotions arising from his protracted abstruse speculations. Giving full rein to one's cynicism as one goes along produces a normal outlet and maintains an emo. tional equillibruim. The man who r:- presses his sadism and accumulates his cynicism beneath a grave and stoical exterior is always liable to dangerous fulminations This is why I knew Arnesson was incapable of the Bishop murders." Markham smoked moodily for time. wrath against Arnesson, for Arner sori, d' ye Bee, was to pay the penalty. Such a revenge was more potent, and hence more "satisfying than the mere killing of the man would have been-. it was the great grim joke behind tho lesser jokes of the murders them- selves. . . .
