he said peter i aint so sure said charley lis ten fella il give you the low down and you keep it to yourself see we got a lot more dope on this case than the papers are gettin yet see heres what we know so far first off thayer was shot about three am thats as close as doe johnson can come to fixin the time he was shot with a 38 automatic killed practic ally at once he went upstairs around three oclock the swede on the ele vator cant come any closer than that to the time mrs thayer drove up in a cab with this ross about half an hour later that fits in pretty well with the time you called headquar ters 338 that was she said good night to him and went upstairs alone the swede swears he didnt take any oio up to the roof except mr and mrs thtyer all night till the first copscame around from the house peter stared then how did the murderer get up how did ross get up for that matter wheres the idea that he did the shoot ing and tok the pistol away with him if axels telling the truth oh i guess hes teilin the truth aid chrlcy he was tco scared to lie could any one have walked up the stairs while axel was running the elevator not the way he tells it he says th house door is locked after eleven pm anc he has to open the deer the tenants dont have keys thats right tco said peter 1 remember he frowned then but then at that rate no one but mrs thayer went up after her hus band like hell no one did said charley scornfully some one got away with the gut dont forget that theys no gettin around that except hell theres one chance in a millicn that she did it and chucked the gun off the rcof and some one picked it up and carried it away but we search er the whole block within fifteen min utes of the time she got in me im forgettin that besidss if that dame pulled it and pulled it that way well im a chinaman lts not her style of course its not but i didnt think peter stopped charley grin ned at hm and finished his drink didnt think a roughneck like me would be sizin up a dame and hguriii what shes likely to do and not to do eh listen fella i aint much on the book stuff but if youre goin to get anywhere bein a dick you got to know something about this here psychology take it from me hows the cellar peter called manuel and charley with a fresh drink beside him went on to be continued jobless build colony on long island tract middle island li ny miles of carrots peas

rolling land they are not the sort of fanners who have ruthless ly cleared the land they have cherished the woods so that a future generation will benefit they have left fine old avenues of trees along side the roads town picnickers and motorists have been wont to seel- out those side roads with then- chan cellike arches early in june came a frost which nipped the gardens right after that the dry spell set in the ther mometer fluctuated around 112 to 116 degrees in the shade what had not already been blighted by the un seasonable nip of frost began to turn yellow under the burning sun those who feared uhat their wells might run dry drew water from the swamps for their vegetable gardens so that the household food at least might be saved most of the farmers start ed their labors at ilawi to avoid working their horses in the midday befit they are that sort of kind ly careful people one afternoon when the ground was like a furnace one man looked up to see a flame rising high as the trees in tho woods by the road the alarm spread all rushed to the scene no city fire department no thing with which to fight the threat ening flames but the tired energy of men and women who were already battleing for their next years sus tenance with all their strength the fire started by carefree pic nickers was rushing before the wind over tho blistered dry grass which fed it like kindling women as well as men carried water from the nearest swamp a distance about equal to three city kicks it was under control by dark but the men took turns watching it cvery nighl until the rain came eleven days later men who had to work all through tho day in that blistering sun to mako a living off the fine farms established through genera tions of careful agriculture just a small fire the public has not heard of it for the loss in cash value was not big enough to make headlines through the careless icss of a few picnickers the lot of men taxed al most to the limit ot endurance has been

garden may 10th i knew nottjing whatever last year about gardeuiug and this year know very little more but i have dawtiings of what may be done and have at least made one great stride from ipomoea to tearoses the garden was an absolute wilder ness it is all around the house but the principal part is on the south side and has evidently always been so the south front is onestoried a long series of rooms opening one into the other and the walls are covered with vir ginia creeper there is a little veran dah in the middle leading by a light of rickety wooden steps down into what seems to have been the only spot iu the whole place that was ever cared for this is a semicircle cut into tho lawn and edged with privet and in this semicircle are eleven beds of different sizes bordered with box and arranged round a sundial ard the sundial is very venerable and mossgrewn and greatly beloved by me these beds were the only sign of any attempt at gardening to be seen except a solitary crocus that came up all by itself each spring in the grass not because it wanted to but because it could not help it and these i have sown with ipomoea the whole eleven having found a german gardening book ac- tities was the one thing needful to cording to which iponoia iu vast quan tum the most hideous desert into a paradise nothing else in that book was recommended with anything like the same warmth and being entirely ignorant of the quantity of seed neces sary 1 bought ten pounds of it and bad it sown not only in the eleven beds but round nearly every tree and then waited in great agitation for the pro mised paradise to appear it did not and i learned my first lesson luckily i had sown two great patch es of sweetpeas which made me verj happy all the summer and then there were some sunflowers and a few holly hocks under the south windows with madonna lilies in between but the- lilies after being transplanted disap peared to my great dismay for bow was i to know it was the way of lilies and the hollyhocks turnecl out to bo rather ugly colours so that my first summer was decorated and beautified solely by sweet peas at present we are only just begin ning to breathe after the bustle of get ting new beds and borders and patha made in time for this summer the eleven beds round the sundial are fill ed with roses but i see already that i have made mistakes with some as i have not a living soul with whom to hold communion on this or indeed on any matter my only way of learning in by making mistakes all eleven wero to have been carpeted with purple pan- sies but finding that i had not enough and that nobody had any to sell me only six- have- got their pansies the others being sown with dwarf mignon ette how i long for the day when tho tearoses open their buds never did i look forward so intensely to any thing and every day i go the rounds admiring what the dear little things have achieved in the twentyfour hours in the way of new leaf or increase of lovely red shoot the hollyhocks and lilies now flour ishing are still under the south win dows in a narrow border on the top of a grass slope at the foot of which i have sown two long borders of sweet peas facing the rose beds so that my roses may have something almost as sweet as themselves to look at until the autumn when everything is to make place for more tearoses tho path leading away from this semicircle down the garden is bordered with china roses white and pink with hero and there a persian yellow i wish now i had put tearoses there and i have misgivings as to the effect of tho persian yellows among tho chinas for the chinas are such wee little baby as though they intended to be big tilings and the persian yellows look bushes it was no doubt because i was so ignorant that i rushed where teu tonic angels fear to tread and made my tearoses face a northern winter but they did face it under fir branches and not one has suffered and they arc looking today as happy and as deter mined to enjoy
