THOPGHT It tlmo to Interfere. "Look
here, Tony," I protested, "don't bo finite
so hard on him. Surely you can understand
thnl mlstukes will happen. You'd best apol
ogize and unlock that door."
"I'll attend to this." said Kevranco rudely.
"You " He paused; tho sourness of his
expression wns lightened by his winning
utulle. "But nfter nil you arc right," ho
conceded ninlablv, turning the key In the
took nnd opening the door; "mistakes will
happen, ns Mr. Trnlll Insists. You, then,
will bo as lenient with mine ns you expect
tno tn be with yours, I trust. I bid you a
vrty good cvinlng. Good night, sir; good
night. But don't err ugaln, I counsel you."
The ancient's face Hushed darkly under
tho lash of Sevrance's liony. He straight
ened himself up 'angrily nnd I anticipated
a tcathlng reply. But, to the contrary,
bo seemed to change his mind nnd, with
n slight Inclination of ills bend, left tho
room.
I prepared to rebuke Sevranco for his
lack nf consideration nnd wns frntnlng n
toploftlcnl homllv fo- his edification ns ho
turned In and ngnln secured the door.
"It seems to me " I began; but Grady
Interrupted me. He had darted through tho
ronnrcllng doorway from Sovrancc'B room

either hand.
"Shiire," he commended his master, for
getting, for tho time, his place, "'twas th'

was susphectln' him av some dlvvlemlnt

I changed my mind about that little
speech on t. man's duty of respect to his
elders and thallenged the valet:
"How's that, Grady?"
"Shure. tltli," ho replied warmly, "an'
didn't t see him with the two eyes av me,

"Oo on. Tell us about It," Scvrnnco en

"How many men In the motor, Grady?"
"Three, sor."
"Very well, Grady. Thank you very

"What do you make of that?" I demanded
eagerly.
Sevrnnco shook his head dubiously. "I'm

"You think Von Holzborn "

HOW IS YOUR GARDEN?
Dearest Children Did you ever think of this?
Each of us hns n beautiful garden our hair we may consider as the grass.
Tho beautiful flowers aro our smiles, our kind thoughts, acts, messages
and deeds.
The weeds are our unkind thoughts, acts, messages and deeds.
It is well to ALWAYS keep our gardens spick and span,
Who enjoys a garden most?
Tho millionaire who looks at it as he passes in his automobile or looks at
tho garden from the veranda?
No. The man who works over the flowers the most loves them the most.
Who cares tho most whether your hair is brushed, your dress or suit clean
and your shoes (watch your shoesl) polished?
YOU I
You feel so much better with a clean face and an appearance of neatness.

A Question of Duty and Kindness
Dear Farmer Smith TVon't you please
make tho distinction between kindness and
one's duty? Several Rainbows have asked
me If it Is doing some kindness to do one's
duty IRENE KOIIN.
For the present we are going to. refer
this Question to our older members, and to
the younger ones, too, if they wish to speak
on the subjeet Naturally we have an
opinion about this, but we would like very
much to know the Ideas of the young folks

THE
Holzborn's spy, set upon Us for God knows
what end?"
I said something dolefully In the nega
tive. In truth, I was ngliast at this abrupt
development. "Why?" I nskrd.
"Don't nsk that of mc, Gordon ; I'd give
my hand to know. But, by Henvcn, this
business begins to frighten me! Von Holz
born nnd Do NVtzo arc playing n, gnmo a
thousandfold more damnnblo than you and

pay already, assembling In tho neighbor

many more may be on the way," Ills voice
took on n ravage note "You mark my
prophecy, Trnlll, there's something browing
of more than ordlnnry devlllshncss. And
to think." ho cried despairingly, "that
the .-e Involved thnt poor girl !"
"It's bad enough," I growled; "don't
pllo on tho ngony, Tony"
"Unit enough! It's maddening? Now
shall we tako train for London in the
morning?"
"You can, if you wish "
"Don't be n silly nss, Grady I"
"Ylss, sor." The man appeared promptly.
"Grady," said Sevranco, "Mr. Traill audi
I have decided to slay hero for perhaps a
mouth. Wo suspect that there will be
some trouble Involving Lady Herbert. You
can keep n still tonguo In your head?"
"Shure 1 can, your honor I"
"Very well Sec that you do I presume
you'd prefer to go bnck nnd wait for me
In London? You can make your prepara
tions to leave tomorrow. If you wish."
Grady's broad Irish countenance beramo
ns long and doleful-looking ns though ho
had been summarily dismissed from sen Ice.
"Aw, yer honor, 'tis thrlflln' wld mo yo
nre. Shure, nn' yo don't Intlnd to pack mo
off whin thcro's n bit nv fun In solglit?
Ah' faith, 'tis meself thot won't go, thin
no, not If yo give mo notice!"
"Grady," continued Scvrance, "you pre
pare to run down to Lincoln on tho llrst
train tomorrow. I want you to purchaso
us a brace of icvolvcrs the finest you can
find."
' Only two, yer honor?"
"Well. thrc' then. And If you shoot
yourself, yo'ir blood bo upon your worth
less head ! f ! t out i"
Grady vanished.
"He's n Rood boy," I mused nloud.
"After nil, whatever befalls, we'ro three
against them '"
Sevranco grunted disgustedly.
"Against ho.v mnny?" ho demanded bit
terly. "Against what? What nro wo pre
paring to light? Tho Invisible?"
"We'll find It tangible enough before a
great while," 1 ventured to predict.
CHAI'Tr.H Ml.
Mostly Weather.
I STEPPED out of tho taproom, nfter
breakfasting, Into a gusty morning. A
keen wind 'blowing up for a gale," I ovcr
henrd ono clnractcrizo It whipped In nnd
out nmong tlio cottages ot Saltsea Ilegls.
blowing folk headlong down tho winding
street, banging shutters, greedy for the
breath of onu'j body.
1 was engi'r to button my coat against
Its searching chill, nnd set off for a saunter
down tho street toward the railway terminal
a progress that, to be frank, resembled
more a struggle against ar. Invisible but
strong nnd ntjllo opponent rather than a
"saunter."
A brisk, Headlong sea had kicked up dur
ing tho nigh: ; eastward, as far as my sight
served, tho crean was a welter of white
caps, sparkllna; llko diamond dust in tho
rays of n brilliant winter sun. In the
covo the fishing craft were dancing fantas
tically at their moorings. A majority of
tho populace seemed to have assembled by
tho wharves, whero they stood shaking sngo
heads at the audacity of certain dauntless
souls who had hoisted Bail upon their ves
sels nnd w;ro obstinately beating out to
windward.
Masses of lilgh-plled clouds, of a somber
hue, swinging i teadlly out of the east, made
both land and r a a wldo ind restless patch
work of light nnd shadow, and to my mind.
Justified tho rmlnous predictions of tho
wcatherwlse. There would be a ' blow" In
deed to contend with ero night, or all signs
failed.
In a twinkling I discovered myself nulto
cheerful, with all the fears and misgivings
nnd distempers of the last few days blown
right out of mo by tho clean, crisp breath
of tho morning. I bent with determination
to the wind and took a deal of pleasure
from its buffctlngs.
Nevertheless;, I was glad enough, after
half an hour of it, to dodgu Into a little
shop for a quiet breathing spell. By way
nf excuse, I bargained for a pair of second
hand binoculars tho shop was a-lltter with
nautical miscellany and presently, my pur
baso pocketed, put back to the Rainbow,
already the possessor of an ambitious ap
petite. For lunch, however, I concluded to wait
until Sevrance returned ; and so I locked
myself In my room and took to focusing
tho distances of the North Sea with tho
glasses. They proved excellent of their
lclnd, and I lost an hour or moro watching
the endless battle of the filling smacks with
the wind and waters.

Sevranco himself Interrupted me, blustet
Ing Into the room, redolent of the sweet, col
nlr of the downs, red ns to his cheeks arid
with snapping eyes for all the world like
a whiff of the gale Itself. He rlung acros?
to my window, slapping me on the shoulder
with n brief, exultant laugh and atoppe '
stock-still, with wondering eyes,
"The deuce!" ho cried breathlessly. "How
did you learn "
"Learn what?"
"Enough to get thoso glasses," he said.
"They've been In my mind over since
My Jove! There's telepathy for youl"
"If you'll moderntc a trifle," I suggested,
"and try to net llko a gentle spring zephyf
Instead of n bruto of n March blow per
haps you'll becomo a bit more coherent"
"Perhaps," he agreed, sobering. "But,
you know, It h a coincidence. Tell me, hovf
did you get the glasses? Landlord, or: "
"1 bought "em." I Interrupted.
"I know It' Well, 1'vo been thinking of
buying a pair ever since I hnd word with
Thompson. Gordon, old chap," he cried,
slapping mo on tho shoulder again, and
with a heartiness that made me wince,
"we'ro not on a false trail, after nil, Thomp
son mot me halfway this morning, big -with
news.
Ho paused tantnlizlngty, nor continued un
til I threatened to do him a hurt. Then:
"Snltacrcs Is being prepared for the re
ception of ts chatelaine," ho declared.
"Thompson says that the housekeeper got
a wire this morning, dated from Ports
mouth, to the effect that Lady Herbert ono
pucstit would nrrlve on the Myoot today
or tomorrow. Wo have only then to wait
and "
"Watch." I took the word out of hla
mouth and suited my nctlon to it, putting
the binoculars Immediately to my eyes nnd
sweeping tho clrclo of the horizon.
"It's hnrdly to bo expected that they
would show up so soon," ho advised mo.
"Still, there's n chance and wo mu3t not
fall to see tho yacht. Ono of us you or I,
or Grady must Btand watch with the
glasscsevery hour of the day until ah
arrives."
"You know the vessel from any other!"
I doubted.
"Man, I wns her passenger for six weeks
In the Mediterranean, tho winter beforo
Sir Henry's dcnth; I know her llko tho
palm of my hand."
"But I "
"You'll know her by tho fact that ho"
a yacht : tho very appearance of such a
vessel off shore here at this time of the
jenr would be sulllclent evidence to Identify
tho Muosott.1. I can Inform you that the
North Sea's not popular for pleasure yacht
ing at this season. There is too much
chance of such a storm as seems to threaten
now. I shouldn't llko to be out there this
night."
Ho pointed to the lowering distances,
and ns ho spoke a sprinkle of rain nnd hall
rattled upon the window pane. In tho east
the sky had become sullen nnd lowering,
nnd tho horizon presently vanished In a
shroud of haze. Heavy gusts of wind set
tho casements a-shlver, and at times the
very Inn itself seemed to rock upon Its
foundations.
Sevrance took the glasses, but ho no
more than had them to his eyes than the
slate-colored wasto of waters was obscured
by a curtain of rain so heavy as to seem
almost opaque. Tho thunder of Its fall
upon the tavern roof became deafening,
nnd Its myriad lashes whipped tho nearer
waters till they seemed to boil, steaming.
Out of this came the gale, full-winged. In
all tho might of Its fury, screaming ter
rifically, driving the rain beforo It at an
acute angle, well-nigh horizontal,
"God help those a-Bca this day and
night !" said Sevranco fervently, putting
down the blnoculnrs.
"But the ilyosotlst" I asked anxiously!
"Will she bo out there?"
"It depends upon tho tlmo of her start,"
he to'd me. "Tho ship's stanch nnd safe,
equipped with turbine engines; she has a
record of over 20 knots. With favoring
conditions the run from Portsmouth should
not tako a full 24 hours. But you can't
tell. You can make your mind easy, how
ever," ho added; "no one In his senses
would nttempt n landing tonight. If tho
.Ujosofls Is ofT coast now, she'll stand off
until the sea has gono down. Should the
gale subsido during the night, they might
mnko a landing late tomorrow afternoon.
We'll get a rest and possess our souls with
patience."
We did both, so far as lny within our
ability. Toward evening Grady staggered t
In. drenched to the skin and chilled to the
bone, with, he protested, no more than a
mouthful of wind in the body of him.
Ho had, hdwover, been successful in his
mission, and produced, in proof thereof,
three shiny, able-bodied revolvers, Colts.
I behove, and Sevranco pronounced them
forty-fours, In this connection I may ns
well make a clean breast of it nnd confess
that my acquaintance with firearms, up to
thnt time, was not extensive. I had never
been much of a hunter, and beyond know
ing that it was inadvisable to look down
the barrel of an unloaded weapon, knew
but little of guns nnd cared less.

LITTLE WILLIE HUNTER
By Farmer Smith
Little Willie Hunter went through the
woods holding his father's hand. His bow
and arrow hung by his side.
"Some day I will be a great hunter, won't
I, daddy?"
"You surely will," answered the father,
proudly, as he shifted his gun to the other
shoulder.
"And I will know all about the woods,
won't I, daddy?"
"Of course, my son, of course; and you
must know the habits of animals, too. All
about bears and foxes and also the birds
and fishes."
"Will you teach me, daddy?"
"Yes, my son, but most of what you learn
must come from the book of nature. No
one taught your father no one can teach
you. But I will point the way and you can
learn as you go along,"
"You promised me a young animal a
bear, a fox something to play with, father
dear. Where Is It?"
"I am looking for your pet now, my son.
Patience and perseverance are the marks
of a hunter,"
At that moment the father dropped pn
the ground and hastily brushed the leaves
aside.
"What Is It?" asked Little Willie Hunter,
breathlessly.
'The footprints of a cub son you will
not have long to wait your pet Is near at
hand I"
