chinese interpreter into the freight car to hide from those pursuing banditst a black object came hurtl ing in and struck me square in the belt scottie we untangled ourselves and there was a grand re union but there wasnt any time to waste the bandits w e r o following closely on our trail some place must be found to hide in the corner of the ear were piled a number of tea chests these 1 shoved out so the three of us could hide in behind over the top i spread some old straw matting if only the train would move along before the bandits caught up we wowd be all right but it seemed to be waiting on tho switch until a train coming the other way had passed suddenly the sound of hoofs rang on the rocky railway siding and a score of bandits began running up and down the train peeking into the cars things looked pretty serious especially when a big chinaman be gan rummaging around among the tea chests luckily ho did not no tice our hiding place something had to be done quickly however or the outlaws would re turn and find us quietly i signal led fu hsu and scottie to follow me we dropped out of the car and crept softly along the side of the train away from the bandits and groped our way in the dim early morning iight toward the engine the engineer and fireman leaned j out of their cab anxiously wonder- j ing what was happening down along the track i slipped in behind them and gave them a good shove off they went end over end into the ditch i promptly 1 threw the reverse lever and opened tho throttle there was a violent spinning of drive wheels tho cars bumped and crashed against one another noisily and at tho same time i pulled the whistle valve wide open tho whistle fairly shrieked it was a perfect bedlam let loose panic stricken the bandits rush ed to the doors to escape some jumped out some were pushed out others simply fell out but in less time than it takes to tell it there was not a bandit on board away we roared gathering speed as we backed down tho track for wo dared not go forward in the face of tho signals the engine rocked and swayed i took up tho shovel to feed the boiler fire when suddenly a heavy boot stuck out from under the coal and someone hollered what next even the coal was alive with chinese bandits maybe im a bandit captain said the owner of the boot but not chinese anyway where had i heard that familiar voice before i shoved him into the light his face was like a black mask from the coal dust by golly jed stone i yelled and so it was my old friend jed stone who 1 had not seen for many years our meeting was one of those edd coincidences that you couldnt make happen in a lifetime if you tried to plan it jed told me a startling story he had a broth er guy engag ed in chinese famine relief wsblismiem work a bandit nig had

important than with ordinary field crops because in tho case of vege tables and flowers a very much larger variety of plants aro grown beforo ne is templed to depend absolutely c i seed saved from on own garden this year it should bo remembered that much of this seed is probably a mix ture ot several shades varieties and different qualities of plants the bees which mix the pollen are no respect ers of color and when they get through with sweet peas for instance they have probably mixed things up so much that weakly coloured flowers are sure to result from the seed used then again the seed in this case is often saved from tho later flowers and naturally will produce later flowering plant the bed too has been spoiled by allowing the production of seed pods which as soon as they start to form stop all bloom with vegetables early and late maturing plants as well as weak and strong ones aro so mixed up that the seed produced is liable to be disappointing on commercial seed farms not only are tho flowers and vegetables grown in largo blocks so that there is less chance of mixing but in the case of high class flowers particularly blooms aro screened to keep out the bees and tho pollen is mixed by hand so that true varieties or certain desired crosses are obtain ed with vegetables also there is no attempt made to produce a crop of food for the table but seed only and that seed is selected from the earliest and most vigorous sorts so that early crops are the results of using that seed saving space vegetables divide themselves into classes which work in together thus we have onions from seed lima beans late corn cucumbers pars nips tomatoes and tho main crop of potatoes which occupy garden spaco for the entire season if we wish to make the best use of our soil we can plant these in rows fairly far apart and in between grow early crops like spinach lettuce radish onion sets and peas whicli are taken out before the latter sorts need the whole space then again the early group just men tioned can go in in one portion of tho garden to he followed by a second crop the same season of those lato shortseason varieties such as celery late cabbage cos lettuce pickling beets and fall turnips peonies worth studying the gorgeous peony is a standard flower particularly in many of our older gardens unfortunately in too many cases its season is very short but today with a wide range in varie ties there is no reason why wo should not have peony blooms lasting over a month in the white varieties alone there is a period of almost a fortnight between tho blooming of the earliest and the latest and there is practically a different date of opening for all the wellknown varieties a little timo spent in studying tho blooming dates listed in the catalogue before ordering is all that is necessary so that ones list of varieties will include a fair pro portion of early medium and lato blooming sorts i have accomplished more since seventy than during my entire previ ous
