'Landscape artists ought to write
prescriptions to cure the run-down

A good landscape man must know
all the nurseryman knows about the
adaptability of different shrubs - and
trees to the different sections and lo-
calities and in addition he must
know the laws governing harmony in
planting.
Then if he Is going to plant in the
more beautiful Informal natural
modern way he must be a born ar-

landscapemen mighty scarce. They

"You aro not running a store" exclaimed the Business Doctor In disgust you are running a mercantilo museum! You
are making a collection of merchandise here which will soon bo salable as antiques! You have failed to learn ono of the.
very rudiments of. modern business methods which is that stuff bought must be sold! You don't buy these things to keep
them but to sell them. It they won't sell at the right price sell them at tho wrong price. Anything is better than keeping
them on the shelves. . " .
"Keep them moving at all cost Every day you hold nn artfelo of merchandise In your store. It becomes loss salable
and if It doesn't move at once cut tho price. If that doesn't movo It cut again. Don't hold it Let it go. The money you
havo tied up in it must bo got out at all hazards'and put into something that -will move. Tho interest Is slowly eating you
up tho money you need to pay your bills with and the space on your shelves is too valuable to be filled with articles
which are not celling. You are paying rent for every inch of your store and that portion which is full of slow-moving
stock is not paying Its proportion of the rent JS- f -r
"Cut and slash the" price! The man who put a fur coat in tho window and on It was the statement that it was worth
$200 and he would cut tho prico ?10 a day till it was sold had 'ia right Idea for In this is tho whole secret of successful mer-
chandlslng. Any article will sell for somethng and even when sold at a heavy loss Is liable to attract the purchaser of the
bargain to the store so that other sales may bo made which) will pay a profit sufficient to balance -the loss on tho bargain
.sale. - . '
'The merchant who knows just when any article or lino of merchandise has reached tho turning point where It must
be moved regardless of cost is tho man who accumulates money instead of accumulating stock. Nino of them out of ten
who fail In business could pay their bills if the dead stock on their shelves could be sold for anything like Its value.
"'Take your loss Is an axiom of tho Wall street broker and Is applied equally to tho man in the little cigar store oh the
corner of the shopping district Move the stuff at all hazards. Forget your pride In your ability as a buyer and remember
only that there is' good hard cash tied up In that stuff and that It must bo got out if not all at least a portion ofit
"Tho man never lived who was infallible In Ills purchasing.We learn by our mistakes and If you have overbought It you
havo misjudged the taste of the ficklo public don't feel that you aro alone; the best buyers In thc-Vorld havo done the
same thing before you and It is better business to pocket your loss quickly and get tho unsalable goods out of tho road
for stuff which will move.
"Properly advertls5d anything will move. When you find that an artlclo you took for a. peach proves a lemon get Into
the newspapers with. It and you will find that there is a market for lemons also If tho price is a lemon prico and not the
peach price. Somewhere In this world is a customer for evory aTtlclo of merchandise that was over manufactured. Tho
way to find that customer Is by a genorous use of printers Ink. Write the advertisement frankly honestly tell tho reason you
are selling tho goods cheap and you will find tho customers If tho prico Is right But bo sure tho price Is right Don't
use any halfway measures. Don't cut It a miserable 5 per cent and expect tho public to push your door down trying to git
In. Cut It quick and deep."

CHAPTER XL
Tho Villa d'Orleans proved to bo a
handsome house of whito stone situ.
ate A extensive and well-groomed
grounds on a height outside the town.
overlooking the Mediterranean. So
complete -and elegant seemed the es-
tablishment indeed viewed from with
out or within that O'Rourke's suspic-
ions were stimulated and his certainty
that he was being played with resolv-
ed into a pretty definite conviction
as he waited in the broad hallway.
It was inconceivable that a man like
Des Trebes so reduced aB to be un-
der the necessity of stealing even of
stealing so considerable a sum as a
hundred thousand pounds could main-
tain so imposing an establishment.
Hla uneasy conjectures were y.r-
runted whnn tho vlcomto nnnflars-' '
welcome his guest Suave drej
properly for tho occasion show!.'.
tnfces neither of fatigue nor of his
antipathy for O'Rourke blandly Ignor-
ing tho peculiarities of the situation
which his own Inexplicable invitation
had created ho presented himself In
the guise of a gracious host
"Monsieur" he declared bowing to
O'Rourke (but with a care not to
offer his hand) "overpowers mo with
bis condescension and punctuality. I
can only regret" with a significant
glance at tho bulge of tho adventur-
er's coat "that ho thought it wise to
come armed."
" 'Tis a habit I find it hard to break
meself of." O'Rourke offered the in-
adequate explanation in a dry and
coollsh tone.
"It was unnecessary I assure mon-
sieur." "Faith I'm convinced 'twill provd
bo."
Tactfully the vlcomte digressed
from the unpleasant topic. "I have
asked you here monsieur" he said
with an air of deprecation "to confer
with me on business after we . have
dined. I truBt tho arrangomont suits
your convenience."
"I'm content monsieur."
"I regret that circumstances pre-
vent mo from receiving you under
my own roof-tree. Tho Villa d'Orleans
is the property of a dear friend
merely loaned me during my Btay in
Algiers."
"Ye're fortunate in your choice of
friends."
Over his noxt remark Des Trebes
faltered a trlflo with a curious smllo
that O'Rourke failed to fathom. "Mbn-
elejir. GJynnJ' he said "is. ob a trifle.

believe he wisFoin us during dinner
if you will be so kind as to excuse
him?'
"I could do very well without him"'
The vlcomte caught the eye of a.
servant and "Dinner is announced"'
he said. "Do me the honor to ac-
company me to the table."
In the course of time as the vlcomte
had predicted the Honorable Bertie
joined them; and on' sight O'Rourke
diagnosed tho "Indisposition" as plain
Intoxication. The Englishman was
deep In his cups. far too deep to ape
the urbanity of bis host He favored
O'Rourke with a curt nod and a. surly
look then slumped limply into a ehalr
and called for champagne which he
drank greedily and with a sullen air
avoiding the viaomte's eye. Before
dessert was served he passed into a
black humor and sat mutely glower-
ing at his glass (what time he was
not unsteadily filling it) without re-
gard for either of his companions.
When the cloth was cleared and
the servants had withdrawn Des Tre-
bes definitely cast aside pretenoe. A
cigarette between his Hps be lounged
in his chair eyelids drooping over
eyes that never left his guest's while
either spoke. A cynical smile pfo-
faced his first words.
"So" he said "the farce Is over."
Bome regard for the conventions was
necessary before the servants of my
friend the owner of this villa. Now
wo can be natural Monsieur le Colo-
nel." "Bo all means; 1 cannot say I found
the play diverting despite the skill of '
your friend's chef. I gather ye wish
to get to business? Well I'm wait-
ing." O'Rourke pulled at a cigar
honoring the man with a cat-like at-
Mention. Ho had no longer to watch
he honorable; the latter had wil-
fully relloved him of the necessity.
"You have been then" pursued the
vlcomte without further circumlocu-
tion "to the palace of Monsieur le
Gouverneur-Gonerale?"
"I have unfortunately a few days
too late It seems."
"You are satisfied Y
"I'm satisfied that the Fool of
Flame has been stolen." -
"Then you will probably believe
me when I declare myself the male-
factor. It was an easy matter: I
purposely brought up tho name of
Chambret in conversation with the
Governor and by him was informed
of the oxistenco of tho packet which
of course I had already surmised.
Afterward . . . tho secretary was
absent the safo open the namo on the
packet stared me in the face. What
could I do?"
"Precisely. I'm convinced that be-
ing what ye aro ye did only what yo
could."
Tho vicointe bowed amusement
flickering in his glance. "Touched"
he admitted. . . . "Well ... I
have tho jewel you the information."
"And ye havo to propose ?"
"A plan after your own heart: I do
your courago the credit to believe it
monsieur. With another man whom
I had studied less exhaustively I
should proposo a combination Qf
forces a division of profits." O'Rourke
made an impationt gesture. "But with
you. Colonel O'Rourke no. I efftoem
your address and determination too
highly and pardon mo if I speak
plainly I despise and hate you. too

"That does no interest me.
The situation then is simplified. Es-
sentially it Involves two propositions:

self against a dozen vlcomte and
honorables."
"While I live" the Frenchman stat-
ed unruffled; ''you will not touch the
Pool of Flame; while you live I can-
not dispose of it to the best ad-
vantage. It would seem that one or
the other of us must die."
"I am armed" remarked O'Rourke
Blowly "if ye mean ye've brought me
here to murder me
"Monsieur speaks pardon crude-
ly. I asked you you came of your1
own will to fight for the Pool oft
Flame." O'Rourke started; a glint of
understanding danced in his eager;
eyes. "I see you catch my meaning.
What I havo to propose Is this: you
will take pen and paper and write
the name of the person who offers the.
reward with his address. This you
will enclose In an envelope seal and
place in your pocket The Pool of
Flame you see I trust you Is here."
O'Rourke got upon his feet with an
exclamation; tho vlcomte was play-
ing a bold hand. Bef oro .the Irishman
had grasped his Intention he had
thrown upon the table a ruby as large
pr larger than an egg; an exquisite
Jewel superbly cut and polished.
Fascinated O'Rourke remembered
blmself and sat down.
"You sea" The vicomte's cold In-
cisive tones out the Bllencei Slowly i
he extended a hand and took up the
great ruby replacing it in his pocket
"There is" he said evenly " a level
Btretch of grass beyond the veranda.
The night I admit is dark but the
light from these long windows should
bo sufficient for us. If you slay me
take the ruby and go In peace: this

tho unconscious honorable "will nev-
er hinder you. If you die I take the

Somewhere In the shadowy shrub-
