SEVENTH INSTALLMENT.
THE DEMON REAppE ARC

Joan hurried out upon the yeranda
and stood perring under her raised
nand where the carriage road wound
In and out among the hills. The sun
had set and 1t was beginning to grow
DUSK; n bat was fitting under the
caves. and the steady downpour never
ceased. Mrs. Fraser, who had moved
to follow the girl. went back into her
room. There was a queer, troubled
pucker about her lips, and once she
went to the door and looked intently
at Joan. who had not stirred from
Ter position OF expectancy.
Presently, looking out thru the
dripping trees Joan could see the
buggy crawling up the hill thru the
mud. Slowly II moved along the
road. jenkins was driving and there
were two men with him, not one.
jean recognized Lancaster; then she
perceived, first the hard hat, next
Myers face under IL.
She shuddered. The worst had
come about, then. But the last bat
tie was Joined. and under her fears
she felt hardening OF her spiritual
resources. She would not falter. She
went slowly toward the top of the
three low wooden steps, and stood
there like statue, watching the
buggy pass up the weed grown drive
until ii came to standstill.
Lancaster and Myers were laughing
together, and as Myers saw the girl
he said something. and the other
threw back his head in merriment.
Myers was the first to descend. He
raised his hat to Joan and grinned.
The doctors come back quite safe,
you see," he said, "and feeling fine
again."
Joan hardly noticed the man; she
was bracing herself to bear what was
to come

and under 1t was the face OF the
ater ct the Avonmouth hospital.
We'll, little-runaway, I'm back, you
see," he said, with leer at Joan;
and Myers chuckled.
Joan stood aghast, looking at Ian
caster. He had the look of man
possessed by devil, as the matron
had said. If this was the man she
loved, It was the departed soul she
loved, not the soul within this same
body. She could only stare at him,
incapable of speech or movement

Hair Often Ruined By
Washing With Soap

Soap should be used very carefully II you
want to keep your hair looking its best.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain,
too much alkaH This dries the scalp,, makes
the hair brittle. and ruins IL.
The best thing for steady use is just ordi-
nary mulsided eocoanut oil (Which is pure
and greaselessl. and is better than the most
expensive soap or any thing else you can use
One or two teaspoonfua will cleanse the
hair and scalp thoroughly Simply moisten
the hair with water and rub it ina. 1t makes
an abundance OF rich. creamy lather. which
rluses out easily, removing every particle Of
dust, dirt, dandrun aud excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky,
bright, ustrous, FUZZY and easy TO manage.
You can get mulsiaed eocoanut oil at any
