NOW GO ON WITH THE 8TOR CHAPTER VIII CUNDAY morning Higgins appeared ap-peared with a card uponwhTcfi was engraved the name."Mr. Harold Dextei " "Show the young man In. Higgins," Hig-gins," said Barrett as he laid the card on the tray from which he'd taken It. He waited, standing, chin hardening. A moment and Harold Dexter appeared tn the doorway: a bottle-ehouldered young man whose pallor was increased in-creased . by dark, horn-rlmmed glasses. There was an oily, nervous nerv-ous smile on his weak face. " "And what can I do for you. Mr. Dexter?" Barrett asked without with-out prefacing greeting. "I want a chance to talk with you. Mr. Colvin." "You have it." "May 1 sit down?" "Certainly.". Harold Dexter settled himself in a chair. Barrett, waiting, wondered how he could ever have been deceived by the young man for a moment. Dexter was tot sufficiently strong even to be a successful criminal. .r The newcomer moistened hls 1 Ml -MIS - A. 111.. J I 1 1 tips. i uiuu lite my uibuiibbui, Mr. Colvin." be began. '.- "I don't like you or you would hot have bad your dismissal." Barrett responded with equal .frankness. , "Why don't you like me. Mr. Colvin?" f "Because, foi one thing. you'r6 liar. You told my sister 1 hadn't paid your salary. You Snow you were paid well and on the dot." "I should have been paid well!

Barrett questioned - lev-elly. lev-elly. For a moment Dexter shrank. Then he smiled. "1 will deal with your sister. Mrs. Radnor, if you don't wish to deal with me." a A to DARRETT'S face changed, surge of blood seemed swell it and harden it. "Or with Mr. Radnor," Dexter went on, menacingly. "On what terms?" Barrett asked. His voice, he realized, was not betraying his anger. "On terms Mr. Radnor should decide when he learns the truth. I know the story, Mr. Colvin. f have taken pains to look it up! I will say that you managed the affair very well. Very well Indeed" In-deed" "Yots will spare me your comments com-ments if you don't wish to be knocked down!" Barrett sald hoarsely. No cloaking his anger now. His hands, wet-palmed, were clenched. Every inch of his more than six feet of hard-muscled, hard-muscled, sparse being was tensely strained, aching to strike and strike hard. "Lon Moore's death was fortunate," fortu-nate," the otheir drawled, smiling "Not so fortunate as yours would be," Barrett heard himself say. Dexter's Tolce continued 510,000 for the moment. Mr. Colvin?" "Ah. so It Is blackmail!" Now wa3 the time to tackle this thing, once and for all. "So it's blackmail." black-mail." Barrett repeated. "I've reminded you that's a prison offense. of-fense. The police will act quite promptly, I'm sure. I understand they are rather anxious to talk to you " The other man's surprise was obvious. His oily face whitened. "What?" he exclaimed. "We can spttle this very promptly!" Barrett continued. He moved toward the telephone. "Blackmail and one or two other little affairs, Mr. Dexter. Oh. yes, while you've been looking up my private history I've been looking up yours. Yes. I think the police will beg4ad. to see you." Bluff all of it bluff, but It was working. Dexter was on his feet now. "Look here, Mr. Colvin, you're not coing to call the police, are you?" "1 certainly am." "But think of your family, your sister " "There Is nothing about this affair that can affect my sister. I have been threatened with blackmail and you will suffer the consequences. Aside from this crime you have just attempted 1 will give the police the other in formation that has come to me recently. I'm not sure of the sentence but it's certain to be a long one, Mr. Dexter, Ten years, I imagine" a a T ARRETT had taken a chance, was fighting fire with fire and seemed to be winning. The creature crea-ture before him had become suddenly sud-denly transformed. He trembled and his eyes were distorted. "Don't do It. Mr. Colvin!" be Say-f-erted. "Don't telephone the po lice. I didn't mean to. harm you It's Just that 1 wanted the money. If you'll let me get away I swear I won't make any trouble." Colvin. 8m i led. His hand was on the telephone. "I'm quite sure of it," he said steadily. "3eeause. you see, you can't. The tale you proposed to carry to Mr. Radnor would only cause him to do the same thing I am doing notify the authorities. "Don't, Mr. Colvin! Give me another chance. I'll never bothei you again!" "And why should 1 believe that?" "I swear it!- 1 swear to God. Mr. Colvin!" Fifteen minutes later Barrett was alone. He stood at the window, win-dow, staring down at the 'street. He hoped he had done the right rhina but bow conld be be sure? Was Marela really sire? Her hnitv was tn he born In January. i'pi'ps it would bare been better h Jin.ooo. If Dexter should find out that his threats were all a bluff - No. Barrett wouldn't consider that possibility. It was simply borrowing trouble. And be rouJdn't hnnd ,over the money, couldn't knuckle under to a scoun- drel like that! There was nothing to do now hut hope and pray that the fear he hMd put into Dexter would endure ;t Ipast until Marela was well a3ln Later If there were trouble she must face It. He telephoned to tell her he had seen Dexter. The matter had been settled and there was nothing more for her to worry about. He prayed as he Raid it that the words were true. An hour later a note arrived from Miss Ella Sexton. The note read. "My great-niece. Miss Elinor Stafford, is to take tea with me this afternoon at four. I would be charmed to have you drop In at that, hour if it suits your convent ence." THE day dragged. On the stroke of four Barrett crossed the street to be admitted b Craven Elinor Stafford was already there and Barrett found bis heart quirk enlng as he turned toward her She was lovelier than he had re membered. He liked her slight shy ness. She had none of the brazen assurance of so many young people She acted. Instead, as had his gen eration when in the presence of elders. "I spoke of your mother." said Miss Ella to the girl. "1 under stand she Is going south." "Yes. Aunt Ella." "She wrote me that Dr. Simpson said a change of climate Is nTpp sary to her recovery from a nag ging cough." "Oh," Elinor murmured. She looked surprised and then flushen to stare down at her nip Sh should be used to sucti lies. sh realized, but she never did grow used to It and she hated it. "Has rrur mother been troui.lexi with the cough long, Elinor?" Misp, Ella asked, sharp eyes on the shrinking girl. "No Aunt Ella." "Hum !" Miss Ella murmured as she sensed the fact that another lie had been told for hpt hneht "Did you go to church i his morn Ing, my dear?" "No, Aunt Ella." "Well, neither did I." fn'd Har retL He smiled - enKaginsly hut Miss Ella's expression remained stern. When Elinor rose an hour imn Barrett, looking down at her. ad boldly. "Do you know I'm gon: to drive you home?'' "Are you?" she answered pleased. "I wish you would, Rirrett." put in MIbs Ella. "1 don I like to have her abroad alone as the dusk falls In my day such a thing was un heard of." Barrett Colvin found ntmselt tot the first lime approving whole heartedly of Miss Ella's Vi:torinn standards. How little the girl seemed beside him! "Shall we go?" he ked.

This is the opinion of both Scth T. Shaw. Brigliam Yoqng university horticulturist, and B. H. Bower, Provo nursery-mark nursery-mark This tree is shallow-rooted, explains ex-plains Mr. Shaw. When not given enough water or When placed between be-tween deep-tooted tres which rob it of plant food and moisture, it j must suffer. "It is commonly befieved that the amount of water applied to lawns is adequate for lawn trees," states Mr. Shaw. "But this is not hp case. The grass should be dug out around the base of the treea. and a basin three to four feet in diameter should be made to run he water in." The wilting will bot kill the tre?G, Mr. Shaw believes, but they will not make normaf growth and will subsequently be weakened. FOR RErrr Pli :sh MOD.
