vacation Lily saw a young man the |
very sight of whom sent a wave of |
color into her cheeks Lily was young. |
1T is positively wicked to be so
good looking" she told herself, as she
watched the young man dive from
the springboard ar the end of the
pier. Now, why can't man like
that elect to stop at the same hotel
/ do-there would be a ghost of
chance of becoming acquainted then"
Lily smiled ruefully. NO such luck
for me-" she added.
She never admitted, even to her
self, that she had deliberately let fall
the letter that she had received from
her mother the next morning. How
ever, Lily did drop the letter and
walked swiftly on without daring to
look back to ascertain just who had
picked it up.
Fortunately it was the wickedly
handsome young man who saw the
letter fall, and it was he who picked
it up. When he had put both name
and address in his note book for fur

and sent it to Lily Brayton at the Sea

her letter was returned by mail

show it,
In the meantime Jack Bassington's
vacation had come to an end and he

Being without a family and home
in the city itself he was free to live
where his fancy and pocketbook die
tated. He went directly from the sta
ton to the address he had seen in
the corner of the envelope addressed
to Lily Brayton.

stone front house that bore the num-

notebook Bassington whistled softly
and delightedly.

AN OLD RECIPE

Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur. properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
,ustre to the hair when faded, streak

scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make It at home, which is
muesy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any drug
store for 'Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" You will get large bot
cit for about so cents. Everybody
uses this old. famous recipe. because
no one can possibly tell that you dark

What is generally aseribed to be
an important object in the Austro-
German movement through Serbia is
the Suez canal and then Egypt. The
feasibility of such move, according
to a majority Of the war experts, Is
not apparent. Presun1ing that the
Teutonic allies can retain and guard
the railroad from Belgrade 10 Sofia
and can thus use Constantinople as a
base Of operations the line Is from
Constantinople to Aleppo and from
thence through the Holy Land, paral-
leling the Eastern Mediterranean
coast and about IS miles from IT,
A few facts relative to this line may
be mentioned Between Scutari and
Aleppo there is, or was a short time
ago. section some 200 miles long still
incompieted This is the section from

Part Of this section has probably been

ed, there is still a problem to be fac
ed in connection with this line from
Aleppo south, From Aleppo the rail
road runs through HONS, Damascus,
and Deyoa. from which points short
branches shoot off to the coast to the
town Of Tripoli, Beirut. and Haifa,
none Of which points is more than 50
miles from the main stem The entire
line from Aleppo to Devoa is about
500 miles long.
At Devoa the railroad would Aave
to be left behind and the remainder Of
the march made overland along the
northern border of the Sinai peninsu-
la. the route running through Ell Arish
to kantara. Altogether the line from
Aleppo to kantaTa, which is at the
mouth of the Suez canal, is about 500
miles long The danger lies in the
fact that at almost any point in this
line which because of its length can
not be guarded over the entire dis
lance, a blow could be struck which
would completely paralyze the effec-
tiveness of the army of invasion with
Egypt as its objective.
