THE STORY: Clemency Nortfon
§s nursery SOVerness to Baba,
small daughter of Jon and Syrie
Amberley, who live im the desert
home of Piers Amberley, Jon’s
prother, in North Africa. Clemen
¢y alread yhas felt Syrie’s jealousy
for her brother-in-law and she
has tried to avoid him. On her
first day off, Clemency visits the
Algerian town of Biskra and meets
younz Mr. Sanderson, whose
mother and sister she had miet
previously.

When they reached the hotel,
Jeanette Sanderson was standing
at the top of the steps. She ran
down them to meet her brother.
“Hamish, you wretch! We’ll be
frightfully late—" she broke off,
seeing Clemency. '
“You know Miss Norton,” said
Hamish. “I found her wandering
abou: Biskra all on her own —
she'll explain, and I ventured to
offer myself as an escort.”
His sister gave him an amused
look. “Kind of you.” She shook
hands warmly with Clemency.
“I'm so glad he found you. Mum
my was thinking of writing and
suggesting that if you were at a
loose end you should come and see
us sometime.” And as her mother
appeared: “Mummy—here’s Miss
Norton.”
They were the friendliest and
most charming family.” Discover
ing that Clemency was alone and
had nothing to do with her after
noon—for it would have been
much too hot to walk about for
the next few hours—Mrs. Sander
son swept her into their car and
back to their villa for the rest of
the day, leaving word at the hotel
where she could be found.
Lieutenant Le Blois dropped in
to tea, and from the way he an
nexed Janette it was clear where
his admiration lay.
While the others swam, Mrs.
Sanderson talked to Clemency. “I
nave known the Amberley boys
since they were children. And
then after I married, and my hus
band and I spent part of the year
here, I saw a fair amount of Piers
when he came to stay with his
cousin—the one who bought Red
Aloes from the Caid whose pro
?e_rty it originally was. Piers ought

not to have rented his Sussex pro
perty, but—he preferred to leave
England.”
“He loves Red Aloes.”
“Yes. There are certain people
the desert calls; but as I tell him,
he ought to have spent part of his
time in Britain. However—" she
broke off with a sigh, and added
afte ra moment: “Piers is an ex
trmely fine person. I am very
fond of him.”
Clemency said: “He is—he can
be very kind.”
$ &
She was watching the swim
mers, and her companion gave her
a quick, shrewd look: A charming |
girl. If only—
The shadows lengthened towards
sunset, and presently Hamish came
strolling back. “It’s going to be a
pretty sunset. We don’t always .
get them, youn know, Miss No
ton. You've been exceptionally
lucky today—not even Biskra’s
special wind to spoil things. Shall
we go up on the roof and look at
it?—the sunset, I mean.
“T’'d like to. But—isn’t it about
time the car came for me? They
would tell Jules where to come—"
“Here’'s a car now.” Hamish
turned his head listening. “But
you can see the sunset before you
go.
“Of course. Tell the man to
wait,” said Mrs. Sanderson.
But as he turned to go into the
house, a servant appeaered on the
threshold.
“The Sidi Amberley,” he an
nounced.
“Hello, Aunt Blanche,” said
Piers in his cool, charming voice.
“I had to come to Biskra, so I
thought I would collect Miss Nor
ton.”
“Piers! How nice!” Mrs. Sander
son rose quickly, laying her hands
on his shoulders. “You are an un
expected guest.”
“Matter of fact,” he said, “I
came in to meet Jon—but I seem
to have misséd him altogether.
Laraine at the hotel said he went
off with a couple of French of
ficers—the yare probably giving
him a lift back. I heard that Miss
Norton was here, so I drove along
to collect her.”
Andre le Blqgis had joined them
now, and seeing Piers as he stood
in the midst of the little group of
gay young people, Clemency felt
that she was glimpsing yet another
personality in him. He seemed
altogether younger, less constrain
ed: And he was very attractive to
look at.
“If we are going to watch the
sunset .we had better go, Miss
Norton,” observed Hamish.
She hesitated. “Perhaps Colonel
Amberley wants to get away?”
“No. Let us see the sunset by
all means,” said Piers.
Perhaps that was not exactly
what Hamish had meant, but soon
they had all climbed to the flat
roof and were looking towards
the West where the sun was dis
appearing in superb splendor,
leaving the sky splashed with
streaks of many hues.
“Hollywood never did anything
better,” murmured Hamish, lean
ing on the low parapet beside Cle
mency.
“Don’t the ywish they could get
anywhere near it—it takes a great
artist to produce a sunset,” ob
served Piers a little dryly. “Well,
now the show’s over I think we'd
better go.”
The Sandersons did their best to
persuade them to stay to dinner,
but guessing that he did not want
to, Clemency settled the matter by
saying that she must get back to
Baba.
“You’ll come again soon, Clem
ency?” Janette asked. “While I'm
all for Man—in the plural—about
the place, I do find there’s a des
perate shortage of girls of my own
age in this part of the world. Any
way, the kind I feel at home with,”
she added. “I don’t suppose that
you find Syrie Amberley exactly
sympathetic.”
“Mrs. Amberley has her own
friends, and—she didn’t engage me
as a companion,” replied Clemen
cy.
Janette grinned; but she liked
the other girl all the better for not
taking the cue.

BULBS IN YOUR GARDEN
MEAN CORMS AND TUBERS
BY CYNTHIA LOWRY
AP Newsfeatures Writer
Almost every garden has a place
for gladiolus and more and more
gardeners are growing dahlias.
Neither is difficult to grow, both
add immeasureably to the gar
den’s beauty, but both do take a
little extra effort,
Thrips, almost invisible little
pests, once made growing both
flowers rather chancy. Control
was attempted by treating them
with moth flakes and dunking
them in germicides. Today, how
ever, DDT can do the control job,
effectively and easily.
Gladiolus—whose name means
little sword—is a relative of the

iris, and their leaves are similar,
narrow and handsome. There are
literally thousands of forms, rang
ing from pure white over the
whole spectrum, and from huge,
showy spikes to small varieties.
Many gardeners think of gladi
olus in terms of cut flowers, but
they are a useful flower in the
garden as well. They give au
thority to the border when grown
in clumps — and with the huge
leeway in color it’s easy to select
varieties which blend or contrast
with the perennials and annuals.
They may be planted as soon
as the weather becomes settled,
about six inches apart if in rows,
and from three to six inches deep.
THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA
The largest bulbs are planted
deepest. Before planting, it is a
good idea to treat them with DDT
dust. Succession plantings, a week
or two apart, until mid-July as
sures blooms from mid-summer
until almost frost.
The corms must be dug before
freezing weather sets in, cured
and the old, used-up corm separa
ted from the new and discarded.
Many tiny bulblets will have
formed around the corms, and all
of these should be saved if the
gardener wants to greatly in
crease his collection. Planted like
peas and dug for a couple of years,
they become flowering plants.
Mature corms and the infants,
after drying, should be treated
with DDT (dust and corms shak
en together in a bag) and then
stored for the winter in a cool,
dark place in ventilated contain
ers.
They like sun, fairly rich, well
drained soil and appreciate an
additional feeding when the leaves
are about a foot high. Some es the
plants need staking. And they
should be sprayed or duste@ with
DDT every two weeks during the
growing season. - o
Dahlias are more fussy than
gladiolus, insisting on loam which
is well-drained, requiring water
but refusing to flourish with wet
feet. They néed a long growing
season, and in the north Atlantic
statés may be set out at the end
\of May-—earlier’ in warmer cli

—two or three feet between plants,
and all except the dwarf varieties
should be staked, at the time they
are set out.
Planting s a tricky business,
necessitating separating clumps
and selecting tubers with one or
two good “eyes.” The tuber must
be placed in a hole six inches
deep, horizontally, and with the
eye upward. At first the tuber is
covered with about three inches
of soil, and as the plant grows,
the hole gradually filled in. Only
one or two shoots may be allowed
to develop.
PAGE FIVE
The plants are lifted after the
fivst killing frost, care taken not
to break the necks of the tubers.
The plants should be gut ¥ one
inch stumps, dried in hunshine
for a few hours, and treated with
DDT. They are stored in cool=
ness and darkness, with a tem=
perature between 35 and 50 de
grees.
