TWENTY-SEVENTH INSTALLMENT. ARSH, bloodstained faces peered down at the figure of Eleanor, over whom Norse and I were bending. “She’s alive,” T remember muttering, again and again, in a dazed way, not comprehending my own vast relief when her first pulse-throb re- vealed the truth. Dimly also I remember helping to carry her through the smoke-filled tun- nel, and recall the strange brightness of light as we emerged ‘into the library. It was a condition, I believe, that the others shared—a haggard group of scarecrows, afl of us, as we stood in the sunlight. But the faintness passed. Eleanor, having been temporarily cared for, and other medical aid summoned, I gave what help I could to those who needed it. Norse's left hand was disabled. Redsby and another had fractured skulls, and there were various wounds that required attention. As for Eleanor, she was apparently suffering from extreme shock, and it was impossible to tell at once what the result might be. Her breathing had be- come regular, which augured well, but she had not regained consciousness, nor indeed did she come to herself until some hours later. The need for these attentions was so imperative that enly when I had fin- ished Norse's injury did I have time definitely to look back upon what had passed. Our glances met in that speechless understanding of two men who have shared mutually and survived itical experience. t’s no question here,” he said, “of all's well that ends well. I'm glad about Miss Graham, of course. But it's a black day for me when I think of those poor fellows.” He looked down, and I could see his firm lips tremble. “Still,” he added, “in our trade one must be ready for that.” “And what,” I asked, “has become of Ballion?” We had turned the library into a first-aid ward, not so inappropriate, after all, to those old banners that hung down over us, nor to the armor ranged beneath them. Norse pointed to the hall, “He's there. You'd better have a look. I imagine he needs anything you can do.” “I don't see why we should bother,” I returned. “Any death would be too good for him.” . Norse gazed absently up at the torn battle-flags. “No doubt. But he's a great spirit, none the less. He makes the rest of us look small, with our petty inabilities. No, it’s not sentimentalism,” he added. “I'll see that he hangs fast enough.” In the hall we found a group of men ahout one of the chairs before the hearth. And thus I came on the prisoner, Carl Ballion. His hands were manacled, but other- wise there was little of the prisoner im- plied either in his attitude or in that of his guards. A streak of blood on his forehead was the only immediate trace he showed of the fight, and certainly, among the rest of us, he seemed the least concerned. I say “immediate trace,” because, on looking again, it became apparent that one leg was soaked with blood, and, from the ugly angle in which he held it, was evidently broken. One divined, although not by any token of expres- sion, that he must be suffering extreme pain. _Otherwise, increased pallor gave an added refinement to the face that reposed on the chair cushions like an exquisitely carved mask. But what was peculiarly impressive to me was the manner in which his re- cent opponents stood around him.

As we came up, I heard one of them observe meekly, Dr. B'{{lu!: ‘was a great fight you put up, Mr. iy . [of » [brought me down. You're a man of THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, DAHLIAS SHOWN or the other, the man in question looked away or shuffied uneasily. They gazed at him with a sort of mingled awe and fear, like ple guarding a tethered lion, and by no “Do you think so?” answered a clear voice. “Who was asked for your opin- fon?” And the bulky fellow cringed into silence, moving back a pace. ‘Then Bellion’s eyes fixed on us. “Well,” he asked coldly, “did you en- joy the hunt?” “You fought well,” replied Norse, “if that's what you mean. You almost beat the lot of us—but not quite. We've come to see what can be done for you.” Ballion shook his head. “Nothing. I ments. It softens the sting of losing, which was, of course, unpardonable. But I'm glad it was you and not one these—a stare included us—“that courage and sense, the only admirable qualities. “You fooled me into underestimating you. I was stupid enough to consider this fellow”—he glanced at me—“a danger rather than you. Ah, well!” And, shrugging his shoulders, “Before leaving there’s one thing I would like to learn—about Eleanor. Dead?” “No,” I retorted; “she will live in| spite of your infamy.” “Faugh!” he exclaimed. “Pletistic gabble! She belonged to me by every right; she broke faith and should have paid the price, in simple justice. -But as regards her, at least, I had hoped that luck would favor me—I wasted a bullet on that pillar.” He raised”his manacled hands, press- ing the backs of them to his lips in a gesture of chagrin and I saw Francis Ballior’s sapphire on his fingers. “Infamy?” he repeated. “A word! I have not straddied between conven- tional rights and wrongs, but looked to myself. What use to life was Celia, whom I killed? She stood in my way. as did Francis. That confession of his almost fooled you, Norse. Ah, it tool some persuasion before he signed.” And, pausing a moment, as if looking back, he added: “More than flesh and spirtt could be thought to stand, he stood. I was proud of him—but he signed at last.” For one suffering intense pain he| showed a curious langour, almost drowsi-| ness. His eyes closed a moment. And 1 grew conscious once more of thaty strange pressure round about, the in- sistent, diffused mentality that haunted Greyhouse. Once again it seemed to me as if all this had happened long ago, a scene re-enacted from former life— this stately hall, the merciless, blood- stained man before us, with his cynical | valor. Curious odds and ends of thought. normally unfamiliar, drifted together. I/ remembered the torn pennons and | armor, Ballion fighting alone in the| darkness, his scornful, oft-repeated cry. ‘Was it not a time delusion? Was he not actually what in thought and bearing he resembled—an Italian condottiere of that Renaissance, whose essence seemed alive in him and in this place? I found his eyes fixed on me with a hard brilliance. “A pity,” he said, “that I miscalcu- lated the drug that night when you sat here. Hasta’s advice was right. “I regret that I did not kill you and | her. Otherwise, my only feeling is in-| difference; a condemned man doesn't | need to bother about others. Say I| loved her beauty—say I needed her | wealth—in any case, a prize. I believed | her superior to the soft nonsense of | ethics and thought her an ornament, a fine creature worth caring for, which is | all you can expect in women. She turned out commonplace.” His head drooped, whether or not from weakness it was hard to tell, but ‘he recovered himself. I saw that Norse was observing him sharply. “You,” he continued, eyeing me, “are a small good man, in spite of your | lapses toward what you consider evil— | you are one of the countless zeros that form the significance of modern cul- ture. Live on with her and be happy in a smug domestic nest. Perhaps you don’t envy me—but on my word I don't envy you.” He dismissed, and I believe forgot. me with a change of glance. “Before I | go, Norse, is there anything you'd like | to ask me? I've nothing to conceal at present.” (To Be’ Continued.) RESORTS. NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y. e | Watching Sunrise, IN RARE VARIETIES Plant Found to Have Mar- velously Developed in Last Quarter Century. BY DR. MARSHALL A. HOWE, Acting Director in Chief of the New York Botanical Garden. ‘The dahlia is an ornamental plant that during the last quarter of a cen- tury has undergone marvelous develop- ment and has made remarkable strides in winning popular favor. In our At- lantic Seaboard States, at least, and on our_Pacific Coast the dahlia has al- ready arrived. California and New Jer- sey vie with ecah other in producing striking new varieties from seed. ‘The dahlia is invading the moun- tains and sea coast of our Southern States, as well as coastal regions of British Columbia and Alaska, ‘'where cool Summers and plenty of moisture combine to produce flowers of excep- tional size and beauty. In our North- eastern States, in the Autumn and late Summer, it adorns the farmyard and the garden of the villager, as well as the spacious country estate of the multi- millionaire. The present increasing popularity of dahlias is due to the beauty and di- versity of their flowers, both as to form and color, and to the fact that, under favorable conditions, the earlier and freer-flowering varieties may be de- pended upon to furnish flowers for a pericd of nearly three months, con- tinuing until cut down by the frosts of October and November. They are, how- ever, essentially Autumn flowering and are at their best in the cool, shortening days of September and October. Dahlia Show Scheduled. There are many varieties of dahlias now in cultivation. This is manifest to any one who turns to the cal es issued by the commercial specialists in this fleld. It is obvious, also, to any one who happens to see one of the Autumn flower shows, held annually in centers of dahlia interest, such as Bos- ton, New Haven, New_ York, Trenton, Los Angeles and San Ffuncisco. It will be impressed forcibly on the mind of any visitor to the fifteenth annual show of the American Dahlia Soclety, which | is to be held at Madison Square Garden next Wednesday and Thursday. There have been complaints this sea- son of poor results on account of the widely prevalent lack of rain. Last year the same people used the excess of rain as an alibi. Five years ago Prof. J. B. S. Norton of Maryland put out a bookiet, entitled “Seven Thousand Dahlias in Cuitiva- tion.” " The title refers to varieties and not to individual plants. New varieties placed on the market since that date bring the total to more than 8,000. Most of them are offered for sale by American dealers. Best Varieties Listed. The best all-round dozen varieties, | according to this referendum, are, in order of (popularity: Jersey’s Beauty, Mrs. 1. de'Wer Warner, Jane Cowl, Am- bassador, Edna Ferber, Ellinor Vande- veer, Marmion, Sagamore, Jersey's Beacon, Mariposa, Trentonian and Mrs. Eleanor Martin. This list shows per- haps a little prejudice in favor of the “big fellows,” though all of them rank high in form and color as well as in size. Much depends upon personal taste, and the present writer would be dis- posed to substitute Judge Marean, Mar- garet Woodrow Wilson, Calvin Coolidge, | jr., and Palilon for four of those in the | list, and might name Snowdrift to in- | troduce a white for variety.

Also, theree is the so-called “cactus” type, with the edges of the rays rolled outward or backward, so as to give a more or less tubular and pointed effect to the rays. Among these the old Countess of Lonsdale varlety, has been on the market since 1896, is still popular for garden decoration. Its salmon-pink flowers are not large, from the modern point of view, but the va- riety is a dependable- and profuse bloomer, and, as it nearly always per- forms well, is one of the best to recol mend to a beginner. An old dahlia va- riety that is still grown must have its good points. Grow Best on Slopes. It has been found that a light loam, with good drainage, is most favorable soil for dahlias. better on a slope than on level land. Dahlias need plenty of water after they begin to blossom, but, like roses and peonies, they do not grow well in places where they are continuously wet. The soil should be kept well stirred up to the middle of September at least. | In using artificial watering, it is best, as in gardening practice in general, to soak the ground down to a depth of a foot or two once or twice a week. Daily sprinkling is of doubtful value. A heavy clayey soil that is inclined to bake down hard in Summer is often improved by sand or even coal ashes spaded in to the depth of three to six inches. .Neither sand nor coal ashes adds much to the plant food in the soll, but they may improve its me- chanical texture, making the soil more porous, enabling it to hold moisture longer. If ashes or sand is added, one should increase the fertilizer or plant food accordingly. Leafhoppers, small sucking insects of other kinds, also inhabiting the lower surfaces of the leaves and producing similar effects, are often injurious to dahlias. Spraying with pyrethrum ex- tract or dusting with & pyrethrum powder appears to be an effective method of control. Some form of nico- tine-sulphate is also commonly used for this purpose. When the Ilifted clumps of dahlia roots are stored for the Winter in an ordinary cellar or basement contain- ing a furnace, they need some form of covering, such as sand, newspapers, or gunny bags to prevent excessive shriveling and perhaps complete loss of vitality. One must strike a happy medium between too much covering and too little. This medium can be determined only by actual experience. ‘They commonly do !
