He was a tall, gaunt, stoop-shoul-
dered man, with long upper lip.
Deep lines, sharp as saw cuts, ran
down his cheeks, and from the ends
of his gashlike mouth. His neck was
fabby, the cords showing like the ribs
of fan. Rusty provincial garments
hung loosely upon him, draping hi
bony body, and in his hands he held a
soft. felt prehistoric hat. He was not

COL0REO FEUD ENDED
 WITH HONORS EVEN
Even Justice DeSouza Could Not
 Touch Bottom

The rules of law are not sufficiently exact to settle such disputes as that of Mrs. Mary Brown and Mrs. Rebecca Hendricks, both colored. which engaged the attention of Justice DeSouza yes terday afternoon. Mrs. Brown is a small, weazened colore dwoman and so aged that a claim by her that her hus- band was a member ofs the multitu- dinous body-guard of George Washing ton could not have been dismissed as frivolous without investigation. Mrs. Hendricks, her nearest neighbor is a buXom woman of middle age and she was charged by Mrs. Brown with hay ing invited her out into the street so that she could 'whup" her
 Mrs. Brown told q fairly connected story under the guidance of the court but when she was turned over to Eddie Goodwin for cross examination she gave way to fits of nervousness. She especially resented being asked the same question twice and when the court suggested that there was too mucn reiteration, Mrs. Brown refused to answer the next question at all After it had been repeated by the at torney with growing impatience. Mrs. Brown who had turned aside in dis regard of him once more faced him to say. De cot done tell l doan need to pay no moh attenshun to yo' fool talk" The court intervened to say that he had been misunderstood
 It appeared from the story of Mrs Brown that Mrs. Hendricks had in- vited her out to fight. It appeared from Mrs. Hendricks story that Mrs Brown had called her "a ole cow and had threatened to fill her with bullet holes after which something was said about fighting.
 There were no corroborating testi- mony on either side but there was a mass of collateral evidence all attend ing to show that Mrs. Brown was not popular in that neighborhood Mrs Brown departed from the subject under consideration to say that Mrs Hen- dricks ought to have mighty little standing in the records Of the Mer- chants and Manufacturers Association She was given to the neglect of such obligations as borrowed sugar and wood and over due rent She had all ways liked Mrs. Hendricks who was not bad neighbor while she lived at the other side of town
 The court dismissed the case with a warning. As the litigants were passing out of court, Mrs. Brown stopped at the water cooler. When Mrs. Hen dricks reached that point she suddenly turned to the court and cried "Jedge, she's threttinin' me agin.'' What did she say?" asked the court She said replied Mrs. Hendricks, that you didn't believe nothin' at I tole you. That's the kind of a ole devil she is"

Within ten minutes after an appli- cation of Danderine you cannot find a single trace of dandruff or falling hair and your scalp will not itch. but what will please you most will be after a few weeks use, when you see new hair, fine and downy at first-yes-but really new hair growing all over the scalp
 A little Danderino immediately dou- bles the beauty of your hair. No difference how dull, faded, brittle and scraggy. just moisten a cloth with Danderine and carefully draw it through your hair, taking one small
