 From the time G. W.

The air of mystery pervades till we'll into the last reel and the unfamiliar spectator will be kept on the guessing bench as to the outcome.
 Those who know the play will re- member that it is @ story within story. the plot of the book that G. W. Magee undertakes to write on q wager. providing what at first ap- pears to be his melodramatic exper- fences in Baldpate Inn, the place of his retirement for the work, where he is apparently interrupted by many different characters identified with the trickery of politics. all finally un- covered by secret service agents. The Gnly disappointment in the develop ment is the failure to explain where all the characters got their keys. The explanation, Don't ask me, I prom ised not to tell," is used for several good subtitles hut it's solution is left to the imagination of the spectator.

Don't Let Soap
 Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be careful what you use. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle.
 The,best thing to use is just plain ,l1ul- si6ed cocoanut oil, for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and beats the most expensive soaps or any, thing else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and few ounces will last the whole family for months. ~
 Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in, about teaspoonful is all that is required. It makes an abupdance of rich, creamy father, cleanses thor oughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff.

story sitting on a fallen stone under
the old cherry tree.
Craig was dearer to him than any

them that he could never forget while
life remained to him. He had heard
how the man had come under prison

He had been shown over the priS-

influential friend, and while there
had learned the place where Craig
was daily employed Yesterday from
the cairn hill he had satisfied himself
that the convict was working IN the
gang.
He had crept out this evening to
examine the stream and hedge which
divided the new enclosure from the
moor. When he saw me on his track,
his suspicious as to my business were
confirmed. Either he must give up
his project or my mouth must be
