A young woman who e occurrence invites Clay into her and hides him from the police. sees hovse —Asmothiered “Vat el I” rose out of the waters. The janitor could not un- “Vat T’ell!” Rose Out of the Waters. A Smothered derstand what was happening to him, Hé did not know that he, was being trented to a new form of the water cure. Before his dull brain had functioned to actlon an iron grip had him by the back of the neck. He was jerked to his feet and propelled forward to the curb. Every inch of the way the heavy stream from the nozzle broke on nis face and neck. It paralyzed his re- sistance, jarred him so that he could not gather himself to fight. Clay bumped him up against a hitching post, garroted him, and swung the hose around the post in such a way as to encircle the feet of the man, ‘The cowpuncher drew the hose tight, slipped the nozzle through the iron ring, and caught the flapping arms of the man to his body. With the deft skill of a trained roper Glay swung the rubber pipe round the body of the man agaln and again, drawing it close to the post and knotting it securely be- hind. The Swede struggled, but his furlous rage availed him nothing. When Clay stepped back to Inspect his job he knew he wag, looking at one that had-been dome thoroughly. “I keel you, by d—n, ef you don't turn me loose!"” roared the big man in 8 rage, The range-rider grinned gayly at him, He was having the time of his young life. He did not even regret his fifty-five-dollar suit. “Lgte's Just loaded to the hocks with disappolntruent, Olle,” he explained, and his voice was full ot genial sym- pathy. “I'll bet a dollar Mex you'd sure like to beat me on the head with a two-by-four. But I don’t reckon you'll ever get that fond wish gratified. ‘We're not llable to meet up with each other again prento. Today we're here and tomorrow we're at Yuma, Arizona, say, for. life is short and darned fleotin’, ias the poet fellow: says." He waved a hand jauntily and turned tp go. But he changed his mind. His eye-had fallen dn a young woman stahding’at a French window of the house opposite. She was beckoning to him imperiously. The young woman disappeared as he ‘crossed the street, but in a few mo- ments the door opened and she stood there waiting for him. Clay stared. He had pever before seen a girl dressed liké this. . She was in riding boots, breeches and coat. Her eyes dilated while she looked at him. “Wyoming?” she asked. “Arizona,” he answered. “All onie. Knew it the moment I saw. you tie him. Come in She stood aside to let him pass. That hall, with its tapestried walls, its polished floors, and oriental rugs, ample means. “Come In,” she ordered again, a lit- tle sharply. He came In and she closed the door. “I'm sopping wet. Il drip all over the floor.” “What are you going to do? You'll be arrested, you know.” She stood straight and slim as a boy, and the frank directness of her gaze had a boy’s sexless unconsclousness. There came to them from outside the tap-tap-tap-tap of a policeman's night stick rattling on the curbstone, “He's calling help.” “I can explain how It happened.” *“No. He wouldn’t understand, They'd find you guilty.” To a manservant standing in the background the young woman spoke. “Jenkins, have Nora clean up the floor and the steps outside. And remember —1I don’t want the police to know this gentleman Is here.” “Yes, miss.” “Come!” sald the-girl to her guest. Clay followed his hostess to the stairs and went up them with her, but he went protesting, though with a chuckle of mirth. “He sure ruined my clothes a heap. 1¢in’t fit to be.seen.” The suit he had been so proud of was shrinking so that his arms and legs stuck out llke signposts. The color had run and ‘left the goods & peculiar billous-lookingloverall blue. She lit a gas-log in a small library den. “Just a minute, please.” She stepped briskly from the room. In her manner was a crisp decislon, in her polse a trim gallantry that won him instantly, ! “I'll bet she’d do to ride with,” he told himself In a current ' western {diom, When she came back i¥'was. to-take him’ to a dressing room. A complete him on a couch. A man whom Clay recognized as a valet—heshad scen his duplicate in the moving-picture tliea- | ters at* TudSon—=was" there to “supply his needs and attend to the tempera- ture of his bath. “Stevens will look after you,” she sald; “when you'are ready come back to dand’s den.” His eyes followed to the door her resilient step. Once, when he was & bgy,"he had seen Ada Rehan play In “As You Llke It.” Her acting had en- tranced him. - This girl carrled him back to that hour. She was boyish as Rosalind, woman in every motlon of her slim and lissom body. At the head of the stairway she paused® Jenkinsiwas moving hurriedly up to meet her. “It's a policeanan, miss. 'E's come about the—the person that came in, and 'e's talkin’}to Nora on the steps. She’s a-jJollyin’/’im, as you might say, miss.” His young. mistress noaded. She swept the hall with the eye of a gen- eral.” Swiftly ishe changed the position of a Turkish rug so as to hide a spot on the polished floor that had heen recently scrubbed: and was still molst. Then she openedjthe door and saun- tered out, . “Does the officer want something, Nora?"/she asked Innocently, switch- ing tha end of ascrop against her rid. Ing-boets. “Yes, miss. There's heen a ruffian batin® up Swedes an’ tyin’ 'em to posts. This officer thinks he came here,” ex- plained Nora. “Does he wantitolook In the house?” “Yes, miss.” “Then let him come in.” The young mistress took tne responsibility on her own shoulderys, She led the police- man Into the{hall. *“I-don’t really see how he couldghave got'in here without some of us sej2ing him, officer.” “No, ma’'mm. I don't seq how he could.” Ty patrolman scrytched his red head, ‘flhe janitor's a Swede, anyhow. “He '\jlst guessent it. 1 came to makessure! av it. I'll be sorry for treubling yuh, 1miss,” The smile she gave him was warm and friendly. “Oh, jthat's all right, If you'd care tor look sround . . ., But there really is noruse.” “No.” The fovehead under the red ‘glmtch wrinkked in thought. “He said he seen himgome in*here or next door, an’ he came 7ip the steps. But nobody. could have ot in without some of youse seein’| him. That's a lead pipe.” The officer yushed any,doubt that re- mained from his mind.}“Only & mud- die-headed §.wede.” " (Contdaued in Next fss=e) Vancouver, B.

This provides a big thrill and a big laugh. 3 “FLOWER OF THE NORTH” AT THE REX THEATRE SUNDAY A -novel touch has been given to “Flower of the North,” the James Oliver Curwood special production which will be shown' at the! Rex theatre Sunday. This touch is found in the prologue which shows the North country in the days of_ the French Chevalier, when kmght.s fought for a fair lady’s hand. This zomes in decided contrast with the North country at the present day. “Flower of the North” is consid- sred one of the best of Mr. Cur- wood’s books. d HELEN GIBSON TO APPEAR AT THE REX IN PERSON Manager Brinkman of the Rex theatre has succeded after much ex- yense in securing elen Gibson nerself, to appear in person at the Rex theatre June 1 and 2, with her atest picture “The Wolverine” Miss Gibson is well known to ‘heatte goers of Bemidji as the most jaring actress on the screen.

Setting Out Plants. Not all permanent plants can be get out in the spring, but most of them can be. That is the proper tge, to plant the whole glorious company of flowering shrubs, from golden bells to lilacs and philadelphus. It is the chosen season for setting out the royal family of roses, without whick no garden is complete. It is the best time even to move most herbaceous perenninls, meaning theréby plants which die down in the fall, but come up in the following spring. Irls, to be sure, ought to be set out in the late summer, shortly after they are throngh blooming, but a good many | of them will stand planting next month with no harder protest than that of blossoming a little late. As for others of the perennial group, especially in, inexperienced hands, they are much safer planted in spring than in fall. L.andscape Architect’s Work. Garden planting is the final proc ess in creating a finished home pier ture. The landscape architect and engineer not only has colors at nis disposal similar to the landscape painter; he also has plant materials, varying greatly in form, size, tex- ture and habit. With the color of flowers and the bloom of trees and shrubs and their myriad shades of green folinge; he paints a garden of moods, thinkingr ulways of unified compositions, pictures in which each motif makes up one movement of a harmonious ; whole.

At once she put In hand tle work of cataloging and photograph- ing her wedding gifts, the catalogue’ being afterward extended to all her personal possessions. The same sys- tem ‘was afterward applied in the case of wedding gifts to King Edward and King George, and the catalogues ‘now fill many big leather-bound and indexed volumes.
