He converted a skeptic with the
mute eloquence Of his lips
Head upon his shoulder, the girl
chung passionately to him. "Tell me
again that you love mel" she prayed.
Promise me you'll never let anything
come between US. Promise me, Alan
promise me you'll be kind to me al
ways, dear!"
Can you doubt will be kind?" he
murmured reproachfully.

"Of losing you"

You can't be sure What if you

She caught her breath and added
hastily-"That you didn't really love
me, l mean"
"Oh, that's ridiculous!"
Il can't be sure Nothing in life is
permanent. What is love? Illusion of
the senses! What is happiness? A
will-o'-the-wisp! What is life? A
make-believe!"
'Dearest!" He held her more close
ly still you are nervous and over
wrought. You don't know what you're

"Oh, but l do, do"
And make-believe for a little we've
caught the o,the-wisp-only for
little-until you wake up and realize
that it's all real and true"
She closed her eyes again: Eyes,"
she breathed, you are right Let's
make-believe it's all true for a little
longer and forget :"
He could by no means account for
this strange humor; but he did his
best to comfort her, none the less ten

in Alan's face as he bent forward and
watched warily from the window.

STIRRED UP BY THE SLOUGH
British Writers Still Inclined to OBJ
serve With Alarm the
Genus Nut.

Every age has it's own name for
him, but essentially he remained the
same until subversive twentieth CEN
fury produced this negative dandy,
whose dandyism consists in an affecta-
ton Of the slovenIy, denial of the
elegant. His very photography lacks
precision, for we know not whether
his initial is K. or n. Our nut" has
no style at all, only mannerism, which
is the death of style
The loose drab clothing that came
in with speed, speed of earth or air,
may amount in some measure for the
nut. These brown husks, we know,
contain kernel that is man; but his
godlike shape is disguised quite as
much as woman's has been revealed
by recent fashion.
Nuts are frequent devotees of yica-
rious energizing, and their odd and
chronic roundness of shoulder is the
eternal sign Of a strenuous life and of
a body perpetually arched over the
steering wheel. And his little soft
hat, damned jealousy over his eyes,
tells of continual battling with the
breeze of speed. Set low, with hunched
shoulders and neck outstretched, in
his gray torpedo of a racing car, he
has no use for elegance. He is mere

tackle dragged the ground with its
ropes.
1t was the work of a minute to con-
vince a thick-headed policeman that
the attempt was feasible and should
be permitted. 1t was the work of less
than another minute to rig a loop in
the line and fasten round his body
beneath the arms Volunteers did not
lack; a couple of husky longshoremen
sprang to the ropes at his first call.
They heaved with will. His feet left
the ground, he scared, he caught the
caves of the shed-roof, and shouting to
cease hauling, drew himself up on this
last, backed a little ways down it and
calculating his direction nicely, with
a running Jump launched himself out
over the street.
The momentum Of his leap carried
him we'll out over the heads of the
throng assembled in the street and
truly toward that window where Rose
was waiting. Then it's force slack
ened. For an awful instant he be-
lieved that he had failed. But with the
last expiring ounce of impetus he was
brought within grasping distance of
the window sill.
Hauling himself up, he gathered her
into his arms
A great tongue of tawny flame licked
angrily out of the windows as he
swung her back to safety.

If HAIR Is TURNING
GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Don't Look Old! Try Grandmother's
Recipe to Darken and Beautify
Gray, Faded, Lifeless Hair.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and abundant
with brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect. By asking at
any drug store for 'Wyeths Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy" you Will get
large bottle Of this old-time recipe,
ready to use, for about so cents. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair and Is splendid for dam
druff, dry, itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well-known druggist says every
body uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur,
because it darkens SO naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied-it's SO easy to use, too. You
simply dampen a comb or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, taking
one strand at time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears; after an
other application or two, it is re-
stored to it's natural color and looks
glossy. soft and abundant. Adv.

His touring car was within fifty
yards when tIey first were aware of
it; and Marrophat, standing on the
running board, was shouting inarticu-
lately and fourishing an imperative
hand; while the distance between
them was momentarily growing less
noticeable.
As Marrophat's car drew abreast
Alan nodded and said quietly: Don't
be alarmed; l can attend to this gen.
tleman single-handed"
And this he proceeded to demon
strate with admirable ease, even
though called upon to do SO far soon
er than he had thought to be-thanks
to Marrophat's hair-brained precipi
fancy. For, falling to influence the
taxi driver by shouted demands or
threats, or to gain the least attention
from Alan, Trine's first lieutenant alb
ruptly and surprisingly took his life
in his hands and in one wild bound
bridged the distance between the two
flying cars and landed on the taxi's
running aboard.
Stop!' he screamed madly. stop,
| say! You don't know what you're
doing! Let me tell you"
He got that far but no farther. In
the same breath Alan had flung wide
the door and was at the fellows throat
Ihere was struggle of negligible
duration; Marrophat was in no way
MS antagonists match; within three
seconds he threw out both hands.
clutched hopelessly at the framework
of the cab, and fell heavily to the
street.
The taxi sped on without pause, its
driver deaf to the halls of innocent if
indignant bystanders. Alan pulled
himself together and looked back just
in time to catch a glimpse of num-
Der of loafers lifting Marrophat to his
feet and helping him to the sidewalk
of an unsavory-looking tenement, be-
fore the cab took a corner on two
wheels :" 9
Not seriously injured, fancy" he
told the girl in response to her eager
look. Worse luck!" he added
gloomily.
But it seemed that he was to have
greater cause than this to complain of
his luck, before that ride was ended.

Ing up the rotting wallpaper and eat
ing into deeayed baseboards and stair
treads.
Still fighting like mailman, con-
testing every foot of the way. Alan
was borne down the hall and out of
the front door. A scream of "Fire!"
greeted him as he reeled out into the
open. 1t was echoed by a dozen
Threats.
The doorway vomited men and
women of the tenement They choked
it for time, blocking both egress and
ingress. By the time they broke out
and left the way clear solid wall of
flame stood behind it.
Thrice Alan essayed to pass that
barrier of fire, and thrice it threw him
back. Then, struggling and kicking
to release himself and try again, he
was seized by a brace of able bodied
policemen and rushed fifty feet from
the house before let go.
Lack of breath checked him momen-
tarily.
He looked up, dashing from his
smarting eyes tears drawn by the
sitting clouds of smoke, and saw
vaguely at the second story window
woman leaning out and shrieking for
help.
That it was hopeless to attempt the
staircase he we'll knew. Drawing
aside, he endeayored to come to his
sober senses, and cast about for some
more feasible way to effect the rescue
of his Rose.
The tenement occupied one corner
of a narrow street. Directly opposite,
a storage warehouse stood upon the
other corner. Before this last was the
common landing stage for truck de-
liveries, protected by a shed-roof

peered out over the caves, a hosting

CHAPTER XVI.
Make-BeIieve.

Make-BelleVe.
For upwards of three-quarters OF an
hour of that golden morning which fol-
lowed the night of his return to New
York, Mr.. Law was permitted to es-
TEEN himself the happiest of mortals.
The beginning of the period was
synchronous with the slam Of taxi
cab door that shut away a superfuous
world from the company of two who
loved
The sound spelled safety as well as
success in Alan's understanding.
The car slipped smoothly away from
the curb, pursued only by little gust
OF semiironic cheers from the little
company of working men who had wit
messed as well as measurably partici-
pated in the putative elopement from
the house of Urine.
Vigilant for any indication that their
evasion had had witness in that
strange home of deathless hatred,
Alan watched it through the little
window in the back of the cab until a
corner blotted out the vision of it;
then with a sigh of relief sank down
by the side of the woman to whom his
every thought, impulse and emotion
were dedicated.
'Rose!" he whispered, and tenta-
lively touched one of the hands that
lay clenched in her lap.
She responded with never a sign to
indicate consciousness either of his
touch or his whisper
And reminding himself of the strain
imposed upon her by the experience
through which they had just passed,
Alan excused her unresponsiveness on
grounds of reaction, and for the time
felt constrained to let his sweetheart
rest and regain her normal poise:
there was bliss enough for him in the
consciousness that he had won her
safely away, that nothing now more
than short hours drive across town
and by ferry across the Hudson stood
between them and the marriage that
should prove the contamination of all
their trials Barring accident!
Alan had toe often suffered the PEN
atty of disappointment for over-indul-
gence in this failing Of his for depreci-
ating the unforeseen, not to make the
mental reservation, Barring acct
dentsi" with little SILVER of dread.
Had any of Trine's household been
cognizant of his daughters escape,
