VINE SUPPORTS 
Start your vines on the Excelsior “Rust-Proof” Wire Trellis. As “Rust- 
Proof” Trellis never requires painting, it is much superior to wooden sup¬ 
ports. The vines never need to be disturbed. In painting the house, the 
“Rust-Proof” Trellis can easily be detached and temporarily withdrawn with¬ 
out injuring the growing vines. 
For permanency and decorative effect around your grounds, use Excelsior 
“Rust-Proof” Fences, Trellis, Arches, Flower and Tree Guards.

Time: To-day—very much to-day—with an up-to-the- 
moment light on a situation never before handled in 
quite the same way. 
Place: The oddest little island (in the Indian Ocean) that 
you ever didn't see—beautiful, but with a tragic cor¬ 
ner in it. 
Girl : Zalia Thorne, marooned on the island when she was 
twelve, and alone there for six years, when the story 
begins with the coming of Barry Carshall.
