The chemists have labored patiently for one thousand years to produce a substance that will not destroy vegetable seed and at the same time kill all forms of parasites. The results have been gratifying, and with considerable pleasure I viewed a garden of the various odd-shaped vegetables that are grown, without being repulsed at the sight of such crawling specimens as tomato and cabbage worms.
Soon afterward, as they sat discussing the wind-up of the case, the subject of the second set of cryptograms was broached, and Blaine smiled at Morrow's utter bewilderment concerning them. "Still puzzling about those, Guy? They weren't as simple as the first one was, that of the system of odd-shaped characters and dots.
He was on excellent terms with the workmen, and often carried home a whole armful of treasures odd-shaped pieces of wood, curly shavings, and bits of tile. At length all was done; the square of lawn on the Terrace side was sodded, and from the street in front of the shop all the débris was carried away. Surely, she would come now!
"What did they look like? Could you identify them?" "I did not notice them particularly," Jane confessed. "I was expecting Mr. Hoff's confederate to be a man." "They're using a lot of women spies," asserted Carter. "Don't you remember what the girls looked like?"

In the gradually increasing light of that lamp Mallalieu looked anxiously around him.

He subjected to a protracted cross-examination the cook whom Mme. Favoral had engaged, and demanded that she should enumerate the houses where she had cooked.
The new air tank seemed to be working well, for Ned, coming close to the window, signaled that he was very comfortable. He walked around with the sailor, breaking off bits of odd-shaped coral to bring back to Tom. Suddenly, as those inside the craft looked out, they saw the sailor turn from Ned's side, and with a warning hand, point to something evidently approaching.
Her mother was lying down, and Camer was nestling as closely as possible to her with her odd-shaped little head almost hidden in the shaggy masses of woolly hair which grew on her mother's forelegs.
Polly did not reply; she was laying an odd-shaped piece of paper now this way, now that. For a while Jerry played with the child. Then he burst out: "I say, Poll!"
