"Ramrodders," endeavor to defeat
Harlan for the nomination. They are

mf8tW he was to say to Dennis
Kavanagh. They had not parted in q
manner that invited further intimacy.
Kavanagh and his grandfather had
brutally violated an innocent friend
ship. They had put into insulting
words what neither he nor Clare had
dreamed OF. He hastily assured him
self that they were not lovers. More
than ever before he now felt infinite
tenderness toward her-compassion,
sympathy-an overpowering impulse to
seek her. He had much to tell her.
He could not think of any n in all
the world who would listen as she
would listen. He rode on past the tall
cross of the churchyard. a voice out
of the silence startled him. A white
figure stood in the shadow of the
church porch.
Come here, big boy" she said. I'm
not a ghost. I'm only Glare. I've
been waiting for you"
He left his horse and hurried to her.

He took both her hands between his
broad palms, caressing them.

He began his story eagerly, volubly,
Once In awhile he looked up at her,
and she gave wise little mods to show
she understood. In relating the early
episodes Of his journey he ventured to
leave out details. But she insisted that
he give them.

And he humored her whim. for he

ways. The woods had trained him to
note the details of all he saw. His ex-
periences had been fresh and stirring.
and he told his story with zest.

"Tn advise you to take my hint"
retorted Harlan.
The girl laughed.

lite I'll be compelled to separate you.
Come, Mr.. Harlan Thornton, baron Of
Fort Canibas, you volunteered at
luncheon to see me safely home"
He offered his arm, and they follow
ed Mrs. Presson, who had already
started for the carriage. He rode with
them to the station. flushed and silent,
and the girl studied his face covertly
and with some curiosity.
On the train in the first of their
tete-a-tete she sounded him cautious
ly, trying to discover If his feelings
toward Linton were inspired wholly
by political differences. She seemed
to suspect there was something more
behind 1t, ever at the risk of fatter-
ing herself. But she had detected
certain suggestive symptoms In the
demeanor Of Harlan at the breakfast
table that morning. He did not be
tray himself under her deft question
ing. But he promptly grew amiable,
and before the end of their railroad
ride that day she had proved to her
own satisfaction that her ability to in
terest young men had not been thrown
away upon him. The light in his eyes
and the zest of his chatter with her
told their W story. He left her at
her home with a regret that he did not
hide from her.
And yet when he was at last In his
room at the hotel that night he wrote
to Clare Kavanagh the longest letter
of all those he had written to her
since he left Fort Canibas.
1t might have been because he had
so much TO write about. 1t might have
been because a strange feeling Of COM
junction bothered him. But Harlan
did not have the courage to examine
his sentiments too closely. Only after
be had sealed the letter and inscribed

then, having reflected that after three
weeks he would no longer be his own
man, he decided that he'd better run
ND to Fort Canibas and attend to his
business interests.
And he departed hastily the next
morning in spite of the dukes puzzled
and rather indignant protests that
business wasn't suffering beyond what
the telephone and mails could cure.
There are some men who are strong
enough to run away from weakness.
Not that Harlan Thornton admitted
that he was weak in the presence Of
Madeleine Presson, but he felt a sud
den hunger for the big hills, the wide
woods, the serene silences. He wanted
to get his mental footing again. He
had been swept off in a flood of new
experiences. Just now he found him.

understand.
"Ill go back and let the old woods
talk to me-" he whispered to himself.
Then he tore up the letter he had writ

her so much better.
So when he came to Fort Canibas in

A HARMLESS WAY To
DARKEN THE HAIR
A Little Sage and Sulphur
Makes Gray Hair Vanish-A
Remedy fOrAII HairTroubIeS,

Who does not know the value of Sage
and Sulphur for keeping the hair dark,
soft and glossy and in good condition ?
AS a matter of fact, Sulphur is a
natural element of hair, and deficiency
of it in the hair is held by many scalp
specialists to be connected with loss of
color and vitality of the hair. Un-
questionably, there is no better remedy
for hair and scalp troubles, especially
premature grayness, than Sage and
Sulphur, if properly prepared.
The Wyeth Chemical Company of
New York put out an ideal preparation
of this kind, called Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy, in which Sage and
Sulphur are combined with other valu-
able remedies for keeping the hair and
scalp in clean, healthy condition.
If your hair is losing its color or
constantly coming out, or if you are
troubled with dandruff or dry, itchy
scalp, get fifty cent bottle of Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur from your druggist,
use it according to the simple directions,
and see what difference a few days
treatment will make in the appearance
of your hair.
All druggists sell it, under guarantee
that the money will be refunded if the
remedy is not exactly as represented.

graph. A very tense and dramatic
picture of the old southwest. 1t gives
a wild nights adventure of an Am

difference between romance and
realism is that one is what the human
heart wants and the other Is what it
gets. 1t is only a rank pessimist who
will say that, in real life, they never
mix. This picture is a most remark
able mixture of both. Plainly. it was
made by a man who sees life with
his eyes open, and is a picture to

hearty comedy intermingling the love
