used Eve as an excuse to wiring money
from the old man-Eve-well, Eve
might be suffering for the very neces-
saries of life this instant!
His sunny-haired, blue-eyed, happy
Eve!
Was she happy now?
Hiram yenner CROPPED blindly from
the car and went home. He sat in his
library for many hours while his serv-
ants whispered together below stairs.

keeper.
He'd oughter; hold skinflint" put
in the butler in disguised tone.
"There's your bell, Mrs. Dorey," re-
minded the housemaid from her warm
corner by the fire.
Mrs. Dorey wiped her wet eyes and
went up to the library.
Hiram Jenner was sitting before his
great walnut table. The shade of the
large electric lamp threw his face in
shadow, but his voice sounded odd
and husky.
Tomorrow will be Christmas eve,
Mrs. Dorey," he said heavily. II
would like you to prepare large ham,
per Of food-all cooked and ready to
serve-everything that will comprise
fine Christmas dinner. Please have
it ready by four o'clock. I will take
it with me in the car"
"Yes, sir" cried Mrs. Dorey breath
lessly, as she dipped curtsey and
disappeared.
Precisely at four o'clock the next
afternoon the limousine stopped In
front of the Jenner mansion and the
chauffeur went up to the basement
door and brought out heavy hamper
which he with much difficulty lifted
into the car beside his master.
"Where to, sir?" he asked.
MFR. Jenner named street far up in
the northwestern part of the city-a
section given over to great apart

His cheeks were flushed, his eyes
shone, and his hands trembled
In three quarters of an hour they
paused before substantial-looking
gray stone building of the better class.
"You are sure this is the right
placer" asked Mr.. Jenner, wondering
at the quiet elegance of the house the
address Of which had been given to
him by one of Ewes friends.
Eyes, sir" said the man, opening
the door.
So Mr.. Jenner alighted, and disdain-
ing help from Hanson. he lifted the
heavy hamper and entered the quiet
yestibule. In FIVE minutes. he was glid-
ing up in the lift and standing before
the door of Apartment Nj, with the
hamper beside him.
There's something wrong some
where" murmured Mr.. Jenner, wip-
ing his brow; "or else that motorman
chap is living beyond his meansw
A trim maid answered the door and
her eyes opened widely when she saw
the handsome old gentleman in the
fur-lined overcoat standing beside the
Christmas hamper.
"Mrs. Lane? Yes, sir-if you will
come in and be seated. She Is engaged
at present"

PREPAREDNESS
 VAS TOO MUCH

Through the filing of a divorce com- plaint in the superior court yesterday it became known that Sterling E. Price now a member of the national army at Camp Kearney, was over the age limit when he registered for the drafted army.
 According to the complaint of Mrs. Edith Price, who is seeking divorce from her soldier husband on the ground of cruelty and n-support. Price was 2 years of age when they married on Christmas eve 1912. A peculiar feature of the case appears that after Price registered as 30 when he was several years older, he later sought exemption, which was denied by the district board.
 Price is alleged to have kept revol- vers. rifles and shotguns in his home where he conducted a preparedness campaign of his own, frequently firing at the ceiling, arches and floors. It is claimed that he advised his wife to | note the accuracy of his shot, warning | her that unless she obeyed him implic- | itly in everything he would shoot her. Price demanded that his wife should not leave the house or go anywhere without his permission according to the complaint filed through her attor- neys, Alexander and Christy. Mrs. Price further charges that the defen- dant kicked and struck her and by req son of his cruelty she was humiliated and her health undermined. For the past year, she claims, she has been de- pendant upon her father and mother as Price has failed to provide for her and their 4-year- old son. Frederick Newton, whose custody she seeks.

GRANDMA USED SAGE
 TEA ID DARKEN HAIR
She made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to bring back color,
 gloss, thickness.

Common garden sage brewer into a heavy tea with sulphur and alcohol added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark, and lux uriant, remove every bit of dandruff, stop scalp itching and falling hair. Just few applications will prove a revelation if your hair is fading, gray or dry, scraggly and thin. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though. is troublesome. An easier way is to get the ready-to-use tonic, cost ing about 50 cents q large bottle at drug stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound thus avoid ing a lot of muss.
 While wispy, gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractive ness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared, and, after an- other application or two, your hair be- comes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant-Adv.
