Calm Deputy Minister of Lands and Forests, paid a visit to the Jack Miner Bird Sanctuary to View the trees killed by the European Starling and to ascertain in what way Star- iings actually killed the Scotch and White Pine. The trees had been grown trom seedlings furnished by Ontario Forestry Department and were from Mteen to twenty feet in height. the Scotch Pine being in one grove and the White Pine in a separate grove. Last October the European Starling: started to roost ln these two groves in countless numbers and by November practically no green needles could be seen, being covered with droppings. By Spring not only the trees were covered but two or three inches of slimy droppings covered the ground and these droppings acted on the trees like lye from wood ashes. In midsummer when thunderstorms came and the big rains hit the trees the droppings washed off and needles tell " the same time. The outside tour or tive rows ot trees are not killed as they did not roost near the outer edge ot the grove, but in central part ot each grove. where they roosted in greatest num- bers. the trees are all dead. Discussing the starlings' diet it was discovered that the bird: ate a goodly number of Insects. beetles and so forth, but no more than our own na- tive tucker-s. woodpeckers. bluebirds and other valuable birds that are be- ing driven oat by these European Star- Hugs. "As tar as them being weed seed destroyers," Jack Miner branded them as "weed seed distributors." as a large portion of weed seeds they eat are not digested, and will and do germinate wherever dropped.

It one wishes seriously to dismiss the grave problems of peace, what tony " is to talk ceaselessly ot ma- terial disarmament it one does noth. ing to bring about moral disarmament, it one directs openly or secretly the most magnificent forces ot life to the most sinister demands of death, it one fosters industrial activities which would, when desired, quickly furnish the means tor human destruction. . . With this community in peace once established, the solution of the prob- lem introduced by Germany would not be difficult. What good are useless quarrels? A statute of peace must be set up which would unite all the na. tions ot Europe under the same re- gime ot security which, it should be understood, would also guarantee com- plete swanky to Germany.

Bcwen and Dirk foilowéd Mary's eyes and saw the newcomers, too, al- most before she could tear her ftcurin- sting gaze from theirs. Although, strictly speaking, none of the three men were looking " her, but at the necklace gleaming like new blood against the snowy velvet of her even- ing jacket. She had had drawn it stout her swiftly but clumsily. The center portion of the necklace swung outside. They sat in petrified silence a few minutes, each with his own whirling thoughts, making half-hearted con- versatiom The party at the opposite able ordered drinks, talked in low tones, and otherwise comported them- seives in an ordinary manner. "Don't go now, it'll look as if we're running,” Bowen said quietly, almost without moving his lips. Adroitly she managed to push the necklace out of sight, covering it with the collar of her wrap. As the party at the opposite table made no overt move, even failed to look in their di- rection again, Mary said restlessly: The waiter, who had been nowhere in sight a few minutes before, now stood leaning with arms crossed against a dilapidated sideboard which stood against the back wall. His face was nearly without expression as such a sirister countenance could manage to be. Although he kept his eyes fixed assiduously 0.1 a spot halfway between their table and the strangers' table, Bowen had the feeling that he was all attention, waiting to be sig- nalled for. "We may as well go. They know we were about to leave, they saw me put my wrap on." "Cheek, please.'" Bowen said in n carrying voice. Mike fumbled for his pad. Before he could find it, Bowen whispered, "Put it on the cuff and I'll see you later. Tell Jack tomorrow's pay day. I'll be around." Mike nodded wordlessly. Mike would have moved of7, but Bowen detained him. “Is that him?" he asked softly. “Yes. Yes. I tell him. Thank you!" Mike answered, making significant fa- cial contortions, and palming a coin Bowen handed him. He hurried away before any more could be gold. He held up his finger, and Mike came swiftly forward. So one of those men was The Fly'. Mary had become adept in reading Mike's peculiar form of sign-language, and no wonder, for his pantomime was more exaggerated than subtle. As an actor, Mike was pretty much of a "mumter." As long as he kept his back turned to the enemy, however he was safe. They got up and moved toward the door, Dirk leading, Mary following, and Bowen bringing up the rear. Mike leaped into action with exaggerated servility, coming forward to open the door. Whether by design or not, he was almost at Mary's side, and direct- ly between her and the three seated men, as she walked to the door. No one of the me at the table moved. Once outside, Mary Bagged against Dirk's arm. But when he looked at her sharply, in quick fear that she was about to faint, he saw that she was shaking with silent laughter, Hysterical! He gripped her arm tightly and snarled at Bowen: "l hope Fou're satisfied'." "Honey, I'm not having systerics, honest!" Mary giggled. "It's just the let-down. I never was so thrilled in my life!

He started to go to-) ward it, then turned and came up to the coupe and leaned through the open window. "Got a gun'."' he p.slaui, "No, Al Capone, I have mst," Dirk said. "And what of it?" With a. quick gesture Bowen drew an automatic out of his pocket and I anded it into the car, butt first. Even Dirk was touched, diseoneert- ed for a minute. Then he said with good-natured Acorn, "Oh, keep it! What if somebody does plug me? You'll get a good story." Bowen's temper gave way. "l don't give a damn what happens to you," he said roughly. "But you’ve got a woman with you, remember Take this whether you want it or not." Something about that grotesque equipage and its owner wrung Marp's hurt and anger flooded her. He shoved the gun into Dirk's lap and swung off. As they moved down the street, Bowen's little tin-can car followed them. "I think you're a beast!” she said to Dirk. "You shouldr't have talked to him like that! Maybe Mike lied to him, but I'm sure he didn't mean to lie to us."' "Mike? Who's Mike?" Mary told him what she knew. "You mcan," Dirk said slowly, meaningfully, "that all this so-called evidence he's got that a man named The Fly robbed that house, killed Mrs. Jupiter and then ran your brothel down presumably to keep him from telling, is the word of a double-starred yegg like that waiter'."' Put that way, it did sound rather thin. But some traitorous part of Mary persisted in believing that in his own way Bowen was right. Might there not be truth even in a "yegg" like 3"ike, if the claims of friendship demanded it? What had happened was clear enough-Jack Shay, still milling over the significance of that o.fternwm's taxi crash, had carried the name "Harkness" back to his friends in that room, and asked if it mean". anything to any of them. It had meant a good deal to The Fly, naturally. He and his two compan- ions had slipped out the side door and came in again by the front for the purpose of getting a look at her. It had been sheer bad luck that they had seen the necklace. Fear grew in her. If Bowen's roa- sorting were truc, then the Fly might be following them this veryPtinute. They were in lower Broadway now, in the manufacturing district, dark and comparatively deserted, heading for the Nassau street law oftiee of Stephen Ruyther and Son. They were going along at about 45 miles an hour, but clinging tenaciously on their trail, about a block behind, was Bowen's ma- chine, its "oneman top" swaying peril- ously in the breeze. Nassau street was dark as they came to a stop before the small office building in which three generations of Ruythers had their offices. "Cover that up," Dirk toll her curl- ly as he turned the key in the switch and locked t"o car. Holding the collar of her coat tightly across her thtoat with both hands, sly. got, out and fol- lowed him. into Jtc building. Steps, steps, steps-arm in al'm they went up, up, up, Mary's fingers fairly pinching Dirk's arm, so tense was their pressure. The stairwell was pitch black, but each landing place was faintly 'ightened from without by a tall, narrow window. On one of these Dirk bent his head and kissed The lobby was dark except for a dim light way at the back, which proved to be a watch-light kept burn, ing for safeguard in a little hole-in- the-wall jewelry shop opening off the lobby.

The blaze of light that followed when Dirk had opened the office door and punched the button wns blinding. Mary threw up her hands to protect her eyes from it. Dirk went straight to the safe and began twirling the knob. Mary unfastened the ruby neck- lace, held it up for a last admiring glance, and put it into the soft leather bed he held out for it. He laid it away inside, shut the door and spun the knob. "Phewr." he said, getting up and dusting off his hands. "Thank God that's done'." He made a pretense of mopping his fevered brow with a handkerchief. "Five more minutes with that thing on my mind, and I'd have buckled under the strain." Mary lifted ironical eyebrows, "What? Surely you don't believe in such nonsense as thieves and things” Dirk was about to reply, when the very windows reverberated with the ft rce of a crash in the street outside. Pausing only long enough to pick up the gun Bowen had given him, Dirk rushed to one of the windows which faced Nassau street, lifted it and looked out.
