his wards property so long that ne
regarded it as his own.
The girls fiancee was the district
attorney. She often came to the court
room. Suddenly she died.
Her guardian had been very sonc-
itious regarding her health. But
there was the very significant fact
that she bought the poison herself.
No one had any reason to suspect the
apparently heartbroken uncle, and a
verdict of suicide was brought In.
AS the district attorney sat alone
in the court room the spirit OF his
sweetheart appeared to him, and told

Dandruff Heads
Become Hairless

If you want plenty of thick. beauti
fin. glossy, silky hair, do by all means
get rid of dandruff, for it will starve
your hair and ruin it if YOU don't.
1t doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve it. then you destroy 1t entirely.
To do this, get about four ounces OF
ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to moisten
the scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
BY morning. NOSE if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone. and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of il.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp with stop, and
your hair will look and feel hundred
times better. You can get liquid aryon
at any drug store. 1t is inexpensive
and four ounces is all you will need.
nc matter how much dandruff you
have This simple remedy never fails.

and Fox climbed up.
Il feel SO awfully weak, Wolf" said
Fox again, that l will have to put
this bride over your head so can hold
on and not fall" So he put the bride
over VOLTS head, and sat up straight
Then in his heels he had placed sharp
thorns for spurs. AS soon as he saw
the bride was we'll on VOLTS ears, he
stuck the thorns into VOLTS sides
and told him to gallop with him to-
ward the brides home. Wolf jumped
and howled and ran, but it was no use,
for every time he leaped Fox ran a
thorn into his skin. SO he concluded to
gallop along quietly. Presently they
came in sight of the bride standing
ready for the minister
You see my fine riding horse Miss
Wildcat" exclaimed Fox, as he tied
the exhausted Wolf to a tree on top
of the hill and tied him SO tight he
could not move. Il am the first man
here, so / claim you for my bride"
And by the time Wolf got free Fox
and Miss Wildcat were married.
