glad to be rid of the baggage. You
see, we're a moral and God-fearing
folk up here, and if there's one thing
we can't tolerate, next to immortality,
it's deceitfulness.
Summer came around and the
summer folks came back to their
houses. Tom Greeley, who has charge
of the Perkins house, got to work
cleaning up. Some of us had express
ed doubts whether the Perkinses
would come back, but they did, as
-brazen as ever. had been having a
talk with old man Watts, and as soon
as Mr.. and Mrs. Perkins arrived
which they did in a sneaking sort of
way, by automobile, after dark when
nobody could see them went in to
have a frank talk with them, as
good neighbor should.
| "'Good morning, Miss Pray says
Mrs. Perkins, in her brisk way. We're
glad to see you again. And what's
the gossip of Glen Cove?'
"Pm not in the habit of carrying
gossip, Mrs. Perkins, l answers, lit

there's going to be a surprise ahead
of you and Mr. Perkins, and especial

it's concerned with your son and his
daughter. There isn't any doubt in
the minds of people around here that
he's abducted her, and that's crime
in this state. That girl was the apple
of Mrs. Watts eye, and he's taken her
loss real hard. He says he's going to
shot your son, or else he'll take fifty
thousand dollars, and he won't COM

"'Do you mean Milly?' asks Mrs.
Perkins, loking at me in curious

L guess you'd better see Mr..

rising, but before he had got out of "
his chair the door opened and Tom
Perkins came in. He was whistling,
just as though his conscience was at

Why, how do you do, Miss Pray!'
he exclaimed, and l was so flabber

LADIES! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
USE GRANDMAS SAGE TEA AND
SULPHUR RECIPE AND NOBODY
WILL KNOW.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to it's natural
color dates back to grandmother's
time. She used it to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and abundant.
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for so cent bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy," you will get this famous old
recipe which can be depended upon to
restore natural color and beauty to the
hair and is splendid for dandruff, dry,
feverish, itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. By morning the
gray hair, disappears, and after anoth-
err application or two, it becomes beau
tifully dark, glossy, soft and abundant.

TUSTIN RETIRES
AS A CANDIDATE
FOR MAYORALTY
Recorder of Deeds An
nounces Withdrawal and
Will Seek Reelection 10
His Present Post.

Ernest l.. Tustin. who several months
had the support of Senator McNiehol and
Senator Penrose for the Republican NOM
ination for Mayor, has withdrawn from
the race. He has informed his personal
friends during the last few days thht he
will be candidate for reelection as
Recorder of Deeds.
Tustin's withdrawal from the list of
maynralty possibilities was taken to mean
that the Penrose- -McNichol support has
been withdrawn, and has caused con-
siderable discussion in political circles as
to the man to whom that support has
shifted.
The list of possibilities for the Reprb-
lican nomination includes Judge John M.
Patterson. Sheriff A. Lincoln Acker, Will
lam 4. Tilden, District Attorney Samuel
Z. Rotan and Louis ]. Kolb.
Judge Patterson is understood by poll
ticians to have the Ware Endorsement,
provided he would consent to- run.
Sheriff Acker's name has frequently been
mentioned as a Mayoralty possibility. but
political leaders today intlmated that no
would not seek any office higher than
the one he now holds.
William T. Tilden has been mentioned
by several Republican lieutenants and by
friends in the Union League. The booms
for District Attorney Rotan and Louis
]. Kolb, who was treasurer of the Brum-
baugh Citizens Committee, have also
been started by Republican lieutenants
and personal friends.

LARGE ARMoRY MAY BE
USED IN CHRISTMAS RUSH
Postal Authorities Plan to Avoid
Congestion This Year.

One of the large armories near the CEN
trc of the city probably will be rented by
the postal authorities for use as mail
depositlng station during the Christmas
rush. Several buildings in the centre OF
the city are said to be under considera-
tIon. but 1t is thought one OF the armories
will be decided on because OF the great
amount OF spaces available. It will be
necessary to take over a building outside
of the Post Office since the new parcel
post station now being constructed a. 22d
and Market streets will. in all probability
not be completed in time for use during
the Christmas rush.
Preparations are we'll under way for the
handling of the mail during the Christ
mas period. 1t is said that the great
delay and congestion experienced last
year will entirely be done away with.
To facilitate handling II was announced
that extra motor trucks would be used
to take the mail from one district post
office directly TO another. Heretofore the
mall has been brought to the central sta
tion from a substation and from there
delivered to another This caused tre-
mendous congestion at the central sta
tion. In order to do away with this plans
were formulated to transport city mail
directly from the station of mailing to
that of delivery.
Alterations In the postofflce building at
Ninth and Market streets are also con-
tcmplated which will add to the efficiency
for handling the rush of mail Additional
floor space is planned. The platform for
loading the trucks and wagons in the
rear OF the building also will be enlarged.
The last few days more than a hundred
additional carriers and clerks have been
taken on. The approaching season neces-
STATED this as we'll as the steady in
crease OF the business of the postoflce In
all its branches.

An army on the march along dry roads

like another but to soldier these dust
clouds tell a very clear story.
