CHAPTER TX.
Fair Warniru,

1t was much more than a map of
the metropolis that Toye carried in his
able head. He knew the right places
for the right things. He gazed criti-
cally at his boots He was not so
dead sure that he had struck the only
man for boots. There had been
young fellow aboard the Kaiser Fritz,
quite little bit of a military blood,
who had come ashore in a pair of
cloth tops that had rather unsettled
Mr.. Toye's mind Just on that one
point.
Captain Aylmer had said he would
like to have Toye see his club any
time he was passing and cared to look
in for lunch. He had said so as
though he would like it great deal,
and suddenly Toye had mind to take
him at his word right now. The idea
began with those boots with cloth tops,
but that was not all there was to it;
there was something else that had
been at the back of Toye's mind all
morning, and now took charge in
front.
Aylmer had talked some about job
In the war Office that enabled him to
lunch daily at the Rag; but what his
Job had been aboard a German steam
er Toye did not know and was not the
man to inquire. 1t was no business of
his, anyway. Reference to a card,
traded for his own in Southampton
Water, and duly filed in his cigarette
case, reminded him of the Rags prop
er style and title. And there he was
eventually entertained to a sound
workmanlike, rather expeditions meal
"Say, did you see the cemetery al
Genoa?" suddenly inquired the Wis
1tor on their way back through the
hall. A martial bust had been ad
mired extravagantly before the ques
ton.
"Never want to see it again, or &c
noa either" said Captain Aylmer
"The smoking-room' this way"
did you say you were there two
days?" Toye was cutting his cigar a.
though it were a corn.

night in the Bay of Naples just be

'Ts that so? only came aboard a
Genoa. / guess l was wise" adde'
Toye as though he was thinking o
of feeling in his voice, but he wa
sucking his left thumb.

on at Genoa, and they couldn't Civ

with Cazalet; that's how l saw S
much of him"
1t was Toye's third and separate il
dependent attempt to introduce tn
name and fame of Cazalet as nature
topic of conversation. Twice his hos
had listened with adamantine polit'
ness; this time he was enjoying quit
the second-best liqueur brandy to b
had at the Rag; and he leaned bac
in his chair.

What did you think of him, Captai
Aylmer, on the whole?"
"Ah, there you have me. On tn

COMB SAGE TEA IN
 HAIR TO DARkEN TT
Grandma kept her locks dark, glossy, thick with mixture of Sage
 Tea and Sulphur.

The old time mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair is grandmoth- CTS treatment. and folks are again us ing it to keep their hair a good, even color. which is quite sensible, as we are living in an age when youthful appearance, is of the greatest advan- tage.
 Nowadays, though. we don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the ready-to use product called .tWyeth's Sage and Sul- phur Compound" for about 50 cents a bottle. It is very popular because mo- body can discover it has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or a brush with it and draw this through your hair. taking one small strand at a time: by morning the gray hair disap- pears, but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also produces that soft lustre and appearance of abundance which is so attractive; be- sides, prevents dandruff. itching scalp and falling hair.
