Eric. Although in different armies,
striving against each other in the
field. there must still exist some means
Of communication between father and
son, or. IL not, then between brother
and sister. -
With flint and steel I built a small
fire Of leaves in a cleft beside tho
road, and fed to the flames one by one
the papers from the packet, CHANGING
over each one again to make sure OF
its content all were addressed alike,
simply Mortimer" but upon two l
found the word "Elmhurst." 1t was
easy to see how the discovery of such
communications would tempt an I'M
scrupulous scoundrel like Grant to use
them to injure another. and win his
end, but why had that young Eric
failed to destroy them as soon as re-
ceived?
When the last paper had been re-
duced to ashes, l stamped out the en-
bers of fire under my boot heel, and,
with lighter heart, rode down the hill
toward the ford.

THE FIRST GRAY
HAIR SIGN OF ACE
Easy Way to Preserve Natural Color
OF the Hair and Make il Grow.

A harmless remedy, made from
common garden sage, quickly re-
stores gray hair to natural color. The
care of the hair. to prevent 1t from
losing its color and lustre, is just as
important as to care for teeth to
keep them from discoloring. Why
spend money for cosmetics and
creams to improve the complexion
and yet neglect your hair, when
gray hair is even more conspicuous
and suggestive of age than wrinkles
or a poor complexion? Of the two,
1t is easier to preserve the natural
color and beauty Of the hair than it
Is to have a good complexion.
All that is necessary is the occa-
sional use of Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy, a preparation of
common garden Sage and Sulphur,
combined with other valuable rem
edies for dry. harsh, faded hair,
dandruff, itching scalp and falling
hair. After a few applications Of
this simple, harmless remedy, your
hair will gradually be restored to its
natural color, in a short time the
dandruff will be removed, and your
hair will no longer come out but Will
start to grow as Nature intended 1t
should.
Don't neglect your hair, for it goes
further than anything else to make
or mar your good looks. You can buy
this remedy at any drug store for
fifty cents a bottle, and your drug
gist will give your none back If
you are not satisfied after using,
Purchase a bottle today. You will
never regret 1t when you realize the
difference 1t will make in your ap-
pearance.

the British patrols, I must run the risk
OF lodging these, but felt safe from
such an encounter for several hours.

passed through two small villages, and

padded Rangers coat heavy and tight

the saddle pommel. AS / did so a
folded paper came into view, and l
drew 1t forth, c%uriously. My eye caught
the signature at the bottom of a brief
note, and l stared at it in surprise.
Fagin! How came Fagin to be writing
to Captain Grant? He pretended to
be a Tory to be sure, yet both armies
know him as a murderous outlaw,
plundering loyalists and patriots alike.
There came to me a memory of Far
rells chance remark hat Grant had
some connection with this fellows ma

cred it then, but now-why. possibly
it WAS true. l read the lines almost at
a glance, scarcely comprehending at
first, and then suddenly realized the
base yillainy revealed:
Have the money and papers, but
the girl got away. VIII wait for you
at Lone Tree tonight. Don't fail, for
the whole country will be after me
as soon al the news gets out about
Elmhurst. FAGIN."
So that was the reason for this raid
Grants personal affair. He had re-
turned to Elmhurst, leaving his men
to trudge on into Philadelphia under
their Hessiau officers so that he might
communicate with Fagin. What a pity
it was l had failed to kill the fellow,
instead of leaving him unconscious.
The papers! Perhaps they were In
the coat also. Surely Grant had no
time to change or destroy them, as he
must have ridden directly to Elmhurst.
| searched the pockets of the garment
hastily, finding a note or two, his
orders to escort Delayan, and a small
packet tied securely by a cord. l felt
no hesitanoy In opening this, and as
pertaining its contents. The lines |
read hastily seemed to blur before my
eyes; l could barely comprehend their
purport. Little by little l grasped the
meaning of it all, and then my mind
leaped to recognition of Grants pur-
pose. They were notes OF instruction,

CHAPTER XIII.


1t was already growing dusk when I
rode into our lines at Valley Forge.
A brief interview with Colonel Hamil-
ton revealed his appreciation of my
work, and that my hastily made notes
Of the Philadelphia defenses had been
.Nreceiyed t~wenty-four hours earlier.
They had been delivered at headuuar-
tiers by an officer Of Lees staff no,
not a boyish-looking fellow, hut a
black-bearded captain whose name had
been forgotten. All Hamilton could
remember was that the notes had been
originally brought In by an Indian
scout. Eager to discover Eric Morti-
mer, | asked a weeks release from
duty, but there was SO much sickness
in the camp, that this request was re-
fused, and l was ordered to my regi-
ment.

"The Spring of 1908, l had a severe
cough FOR six months. l tried all the
medicine that my friends and doctors

helpless to injure Colonel Mortimer.
AS to Claire, Seldom would protect her
for tho present, and as soon as the
father returned, he would doubtless
compel her to accompany him back to
Philadelphia. The best service I could
render was to destroy these notes, and
then seek out ERIC Mortimer, in Lees

stating that the first lady who brought
in 100000 in cash on the opening day
would secure the hat. Then hat
that would retail at about $500 was

the hat was indeed a handsome one

LINCOLN COUNTY'S
Splendid
ROADS
ALL OPPOSITION FROM FARM
ERs HAS VANIsHED-HIGH-
WAYS ARE A REVELATION.

R. X. Smith has recently made a
trip over the good roads in that beat
in Lincoln county in which the city
of Brookhaven is situated. Mr.. Smith
states that he was unprepared to be
lieve what he saw on that trip. He
thinks 1t was we'll worth any mans
time to visit Brookhaven for the pur-
pose of seeing for himself these splen-
did highways provided he Is in any
way connected with road building.
He says that the best roads that he
ever saw previous to this trip were
those around Long Island sound and
that the Lincoln county roads men
toned are as good as those.
The streets of Brookhaven are
paved in the same manner that the
county roads are and these are as
good as any paved streets In Hat
tiesbur. Saw mills are hauling lum-
Der IL and 10 miles so that the devel-
opment Of the coutry far from town
is being effected. Lumber is being
hauled up to where the good roads
begin and there a light team is able
to take up and carry as much or
more than is hauled by s and 10 yoke
teams on unimproved roads.
The opposition from farmers has
entirely disappeared and everyone is
now praising the splendid results
from the expenditure of not over 81
800 a mile on upwards of so miles
built in the beat. One farmer who
had been strongly opposing the good
roads movement went to the sheriff's
office to pay his taxes and the sher-
if good naturally proposed to pay
his road tax for him, since he had
been such vigorous kicker
Whereupon he asked how much his
part of the road tax was. Being in
formed that it amounted to 40 cents
he said he would pay it himself and
was heartily ashamed he had ever
said word against good road bonds
The grade has been reduced to a
per cent maximum and it is claim
ed that the harder it rains the bet
ter the roads. The worst section Of
road in the beat before the improve
ment began is now the best part O
the entire system.
