there until long after midnight. and q

She pushed an armchair close to the
hearth and dropped into it wearily
She realized that she was very tired

"It is nice enough for what has hap

paused to light another cigar; then he
turned to Dorcas with such authority
as he mad never used to her before.
Il want to say one thing before you
leave this room. 1t is about the ques-
tion of the authorship of this play. 1t
is not to be brought up again at any
time between US. Do you under

Il understand" Dorcas answered
quietly. Il understand it is perfectly
useless to appeal to conscience

Enoch shrugged his shoulders. IF

NEW IN NATURAL HISTORY
DonaId's Sharp Eyes Had Noticed
Animal That None of the Class
Recognized.

The class of little people were tell
ing stories in geography recitation.
Each one was allowed to describe an
animal and the others were to guess
the name. Donald anxiously awaited
his turn. When it came he began with
enthusiasm: why, it's a great, big,
clumsy animal with thick hide ard
tail like a rope. 1t has little eyes
close together, big, fiappy ears. long
trunk"
Here he was interrupted by many
eager to guess.
IAN elephant" shouted the first boy
permitted to speak.
NO" said Donald, stolidly.
The class searched their brains for
other guesses and even the teacher
was puzzled. Finally all gave up"
and Donald was aked the name.

GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
TO DARKEM Her GRAY HAIR
She Made Up Mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur to Bring Back Color,
Gloss, Thickness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur. properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays,
by asking at any store for ''Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you
will get large bottle of the famous
old recipe for about SO cents.
Don't stay gray Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time. by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy

Ammunition Used In War.

How much ammunition does a mod
ern army use? We shall not know
until after the war what the German
and the allied forces have been ex-
pending; but we know what the Ger
mans used in 1S70-71. The total for
rifles was 3O,OO0,OO0 cartridges, for
field artillery 100000 rounds. 1t is
worth noting that battles are much
less costly in ammunition than sieges.
The siege of Strassburg alone cost,
weight for weight, three times the
amount of ammunition used in all the
decisive battles and actions through
out the whole war. OF course these
hgures are a mere bagatelle COM
pared with those of the present strug-
gle, with its millions of soldiers and
its quick-fring guns and its week-long
battles.-Manchester Guardian.

Merry. Once a look of consuming
hatred fitted across his face, and his
lips grew pallid as gray ashes.
Dorcas pulled away from his clasp
ing hand and ran to her dreesing-room.
She was choking with sobs. She felt
her fingers tingle where Andrew had
touched them, and there was look of
terror In her eyes.
Alice Volk sat waiting for her in the
dressing-room. Little Julie jumped to
her feet when Dorcas entered. The
girl did not speak. but clasped the
child to her bosom.

CHAPTER XIV.
Master Robin Tuliy.


When the curtain dropped on the
last act at a Saturday matinee. Dorcas
paused on the way to her dressing
room and glanced out at the stage
door. Rain was lashing the street in
furious. wild-blown torrents. The
few people who braved the storm bent
their heads against 1t and plodded on
with determination. Nearby, street
organ was wheeling the "Miserere" in
pitiful appeal to a needless crowd at.
the theater door.
Dorcas returned to her dressing
room. 1t was delightfully."- cozy re-
treat-Mr. Oswald had seen to that.
Alice volk sat repairing a gown.
"Where's Julie?" Dorcas demanded
She's asleep in our dressing-room." 4"
The girl seated herself in front of
the mirror and began to remove her
makeup. At intervals she glanced
over a bunch of letters which lay on
the dressing table.
Il used to wonder how 1t would feel
to be famous. OF course l am not
famous yet" said Dorcas quickly; 81
am merely one of the people you hear
of in passing. Still, l cannot grow ac-
customed to the queer experience of
seeing my name blazoned on every
housetop when l ride on the L, or
finding my picture in papers and mag
azines. People stop on the street to
stare at me; occasionally they whis-
per my name to some one who is with
them. A girl l went to, school with

sixteen autographed portraits to give
as favors at party. She was rich
child, and at school she snubbed me
numerically"
It's the way of the world" the
other woman answered. "A little of it
came into my own life"
Its a queer way" Dorcas contin-
ued. "and somehow already | feel
blase. The love and trust have from
Julie and you is something worth
while"
Mrs. Volk rose to hang up a gown
she had been repairing AS she passed
Dorcas she bent and kissed her cheek
The girl looked up with grateful
smile.

menu. 1t will be fun"
Half an hour later the dressing
room looked like small banquetinl
hall. for the property man had put
everything he controlled at their dis
posal.
Listen" said Dorcas to the waiter
who stood ready to take their order

child
"Of course" cried Dorcas; Its So

is much more important than soup"
Julie turned to gaze at the table
Isn't it pity, Miss Dorcas. there art
only three of us, when there are foul
sides to table"
Dorcas laughed. III let you picl

Then there's Mr.. Merry. / believe"
she added decisively, Il would rather
have Mr.. Merry than anybody"
Dorcas bent to rearrange a knife
and fork
How do you know Mr.. Merry ia
in?"
He is," cried Julie. He called me
into his dressing-room when l passed
and gave me these She unclasped
her hand to show three caramels
squeezed into a sticky lump.
Would your mother like to have
him here7"
Julie did not wait for her mother to
answer.
'Of course. Mother and love him"
We'll, you may be our messenger.
Tell him he is invited to dine with
three ladies. Dinner will be served in
ten minutes"
Merry returned with Julie clasping
his hand.
This is unexpected, When the
young lady tapped at my door. l was
going out to eat in the storm
1t was a gay little party. Dorcas
ordered the waiter to set the dishes
on the hot radiator, then she sent him
away. Julie took her place delighted
ly.
You're clever waitress" said
Merry.
II used to plan to be a waitress
when l was grown up" said the child,
while she gathered plates neatly on
tray. That WIS before l went on
the stage. Playing the little Cordelia'
is nicer than being waitress"
1T means getting rich faster" said
Merry gravely.
"Of course" agreed Julie. Still, It
must be delightful work to be wait

one day when Miss Dorcas took US

pony and a COW. and have cherry trees

den."
Il will come and board with you."
said Merry, IF don't have to milk the

"Oh, Mother" cried the child i'm
petuously. Il never thought of keep

charge Mr.. Merry much"
May / come too?" asked Dorcas.
"Oh. that would be lovely!" Julie
laid down chicken bone she held be-
tween her fingers to clap her greasy
little hands joyfully. Merry was tell
ing ridiculous adventure which had
once befallen him on snowbound
train when he was interrupted by a
timid knock at the door.
Julie rose to open it. She turned
to look back at her mother with
bewildered glance. A small odd fig
ure stood motionless in the doorway
