If planted in baskets, it should be potted in a porous loamy soil, and kept moist in the summer and perfectly dry in winter. Summer. Peru. Introduced 1690. Mag. 3822. This is supposed to be of hybrid origin, a Mr. Mallison having sent it to Dr. Lindley to be named, and stating that he obtained it by fertilising flowers of C. speciosissimus with pollen from C. flagelliformis.
"I hope it turns out all right," observed Andrew Mallison, when they were driving back to Riverside. "If there was a swindle it would give my hotel a black eye." "That's one reason why I wanted that man held," answered Joe. The next day and that following passed quietly, and our hero began to think that he had made a mistake and misjudged the men.
The plan was to buy the shares and then sell them to another party a broker at a big advance in price." "That was simple enough," put in Andrew Mallison. "Caven took me to see a man who called himself a broker. He had an elegant office and looked prosperous. He told us he would be glad to buy certain mining shares at a certain figure if he could get them in the near future.
"Oh, I'm not afraid!" said the plump young lady, and leaned forward to catch hold of one oar. Just then her foot slipped and she fell on the gunwale, causing the boat to tip more than ever. As she did this, Mabel Mallison, who was leaning over the side, gazing down into the clear waters of the lake, gave a shriek. "Oh, save me!" came from her, and then she went over, with a loud splash.
"Perhaps something happened out at his mine to unsettle his nerves. He told me of some sort of an accident." "Is he a miner?" "He is a mine owner, so Mr. Mallison told me, but he never heard of the man before." The stranger received several letters the next day and then a telegram. Shortly after that he took to his bed. "I am feeling worse," said he to the bell boy who answered his ring.
Jardine appeared at this moment He questioned Towler as to the possibility of tranquillising his patient; and he found that the sedatives prescribed by Dr. Mallison had ceased to exercise any beneficial effect. Nights of insomnia and restlessness had been the rule with the patient ever since Towler had been in attendance upon him.
Mallison had made a most determined mariage de convenance and had sought love in other directions; but, summoning what good grace she could, she answered that she, too, considered love the only thing. 'You didn't love him enough, and you found it out in time, and you told him. How brave; how right.
Mallison took a cup of tea and a sandwich, while he gave Ida minute directions as to the treatment of the patient. And then he accepted the handsome cheque which had been written for him, with Mr. Fosbroke's advice as to amount, and took his departure, promising to send a skilled attendant within the next twelve hours. Ida felt happier after she had seen Dr. Mallison.
"Oh!" shrieked a maid who had come on the scene. "A ghost! I shall not stay either!" "What kind of a ghost?" demanded Andrew Mallison. "A er a skeleton and some skulls! I saw them with my own eyes," went on the victim. "Come and see them for yourself." "This is nonsense," said the hotel proprietor. "I will go and convince you that you are mistaken."
Mallison put him in charge of all of the boats at the hotel, so that our hero had almost as much work ashore as on the lake. During the week following, the events just narrated, many visitors left the hotel and others came in. Among those to go were Felix Gussing and the two young ladies. The dude bid our hero a cordial good-bye, for he now knew Joe quite well. "Good-bye, Mr. Gussing," said Joe.
