days after Mrs. Warren's lodger arrived.
It sounds plausible, does It
not? The mysterious one could un
derstand English, even if he could not
print it. Let us see if we can pick up
the trace again. Yes, here we are?
three days later. 'Am making successful
arrangements. Patience and
prudence. The clouds will pass.?G.*
Nothing for a week after that. Then
comes something much more definite:
"The path is clearing. If I find chance
. signal message remember code agreed
one A, two B, and so on. You will
'hear soon.?G.' That was in yesterday's
paper, and there is nothing in
today's. It's all very appropriate to
Mrs. Warren's lodger. If we wait a
:little, Watson, I don't doubt that the
affair -will grow more intelligible."
So It proved; for in the morning I
found my friend standing on the
hearthrug with his back to the fire,
and a smile of complete satisfaction
upon his face.
"How's this, Watson?" he cried,
picking up the paper from the table.
"" 'High red house with white stone
facings. Third floor. Second window
left. After dusk.?G.' That Is definite
enough. I think after breakfast
we must make a little reconnaissance
of Mrs.. Warren's neighborhood. Ah,
Mrs. Warren! what news do you bring
us this morning?"

the room "with an explosive energy
which told of Bome new and momentous
development.
"It's a police matter, Mr. Holmes!"
she cried. "I'll have no more of It!
He shall pack out of that with his
baggage. I would have gone straight
up and told him so, only I thought it
was but fair to you to take your opinion
first. But I'm at the end of my
patience, and when it comes to knocking
my old man about?"
"Knocking Mr. Warren about?"
"Using him roughly, anyway."
"But who used him roughly?"
"Ah! that's what we want to know!
It was this morning, sir. Mr. Warren
Is a time-keeper at Morton & Waylight's,
in Tottenham Court road. He
has to be out of the house before
even. Well, this morning he had not
gone ten paces down the road when
two men came up behind him, threw
a coat over his head, and bundled him
Into a cab that was beside the curb
They drove him an hour, and then
opened the door and shot him out. He
lay In the roadway so shaken In his
wits that he never saw what became
of the cab. When he picked himself
"up he found he was on Hamostead
t<?k a bua home. and
there tie lies now on the sofa, while
I came straight round to tell you what
.had happened."
"Most Interesting," said Holmes.
"Did he observe the appearance of
these men?did he hear them talk?"
"No; he la clean dazed. Ha Just
knows that he was lifted up as if hy
magic. Two at least were in it, and
maybe three."
"And you connect this attack with
your lodger?"
"Well, we've lived here fifteen years
and no such happenings ever came
before. I've had enough of him.
Money's not everything. I'll have
him out of my bouse before the day
da done."
"Walt a bit, Mrs. Warren. Do nothing
rash. I begin to think that this
affair may be very much more important
than appeared at first sight. It is
clear now that some, rtaturpp to throit.
enlng,your lodger, ft is equally clear
that his enemies, lying in wait for
liim near your door, mistook your hus|band
for him in the foggy morning
light. On discovering their mistake
they released him. What they would
bave done had It not been a mistake,
we can only conjectiire."
"Well, what am I to do, Mr.
Holmes?"
"J have a great fancy to see_this
lodger of yours, Mrs. Warren."
"I don't see how that is to be managed,
unless you break in the door.
I always hear him unlock it as I go
down the stair after I leave the tray."
"He has to take the tray in. Surely
we could conceal ourselves and see
him do it."
The landlady thought for a moment.
"Well, sir, there's the box-room opposite.
I could arrange a lookingglass,
maybe, and if you -were behind
the door?"
"Excellent!" said Holmes. "When
<loes he lunch?"
"About one, sir."
"Then Dr. Watson and I will come
round In time. For the present, Mrs.
Warren, goodby."
At' half-past twelve we found ourselves
upon the steps of Mrs. Warren's
house?a high, thin, yellowbrick
edifice in Great Orme street,
a narrow thoroughfare at the northeast
side of the British museum.
Standing as It does near the corner
of the street, it commands a view
<lovn Howe street, with its more pretentious
houses. Holmes pointed
with a chuckle to one of these, a row
of residential flats, which projected
so that they could not fail to catch the
?ye.
"See, Watson!" said he. "'High

the place, and we know the code; so
surely our task should be simple.
There's a 'To Let' card in that wondow.
It is evidently an empty flat
to which the confederate has acoess.
Well, Mrs. Warren, what now?"
"I have it all ready for you. If you
will both come up and leave your
boots below on the landing, I'll put
you fhere piw."

Directions for Growing the Fall Crop
of Irish Potatoes.
To the market gardner the fall
crop of Irish potatoes is one of the
most important truck crops grown in
this State. It is very profitable when
Judiciously grown. In 1908 it was second
to the cabbage crop in extent in
this State, there having been raised
that year nearly 300,000 barrels on
6,500 acres. Yet, notwithstanding the
ease with which this crop can be
grown many of our farmers ar6 neglecting
to grow enough for home use,
and are paying from 40 to 60 cents
per peck in the local markets.
Rich, sandy loam underlaid with
subsoil, retentive of moisture, is beet
adapted to this crop. However, our
heavier soils in this State with proper
preparatoin and fertilization can
be made to produce remunerative
erops. If it is impossible to set aside
a piece of land especially for this
purpose, the hay or grain land after
the crops have been harvested could
be utilized for this purpose.
To get the best results the ground
should be deeply stirred and pulverized.
A good application of barnyard
manure thoroughly incorporated
into the soil will give good iceults.
However, if stable manure is not aci
accesible commercial fertilizer possession
the following Ingredients
; should be applied per acre:
Acid phosphate 16 per cent. 400
pounds.
r tneyl 600 pounds.
Miiriate ofpotasli iUlf 1
The fertilizer should be distributed
in the furrows and should be thoroughly
mixed with the boil. Any
time after the first of July is the proper
time for planting this crop. It will
take about ten bushels of seed, potatoes
plant an acre. When preparing

pieces and the larger into site pieces,
1 being careful to have at least two good
eyes on each tuber. This insures a
strong stocky plant. They should be
planted in rows three feet apart and
15 inches apart in the row. Immediately
after dropping they shoi^ld be
covered up with four to six inches
of dirt. It is an excellent plant to run
over the ground with a roller, if the
weather is hot and dry, to conserve
moisture.
Just as the potatoes begin to sprout
through the ground it is advisable to
run a harrow over the rows to break
the crust. Every ten days or two
weeks the patch should be cultivated
until the blossoms begin to appear,
| then cultivation should cease. After
lue msi uuiuvauon tne vines should be
hilled up well.
To protect the crop from blight the
vines should be sprayed with Bordeaux
mixture. The first application
should be made when the vines are
about four inches high, the second
ten days or two weeks later. If the
potato beetle causes trouble arsenate
of lead at the rate of two pounds
should be added to the Bordeaux mixture*.
