happier than Kazan in all his strength.
From now on, during the days that
followed, 1t was a last great fight be-
tween blind and faithful Gray Wolf
and the woman. II Joan had known Of
what lay in the thicket, If she could
once have seen the poor creature to
whom Kazan was now all life-the sun.

would have helped Gray Wolf. But as
1t was she tried to lure Kazan more
and more to the cabin, and slowly she
won.
At last the great day came, eight
days after the fight on the Sun Rock.
Kazan had taken Gray Wolf to a wood
ed point on the river two days before.
and there he had left her the preceding
night when he went to the cabin. This
time stout babiche thong was tied
to the collar round his neck, and he
was fastened to a staple in the log
wall. Joan and her husband were up
before 1t was light next day. The sun
was just rising when they all went out,
the man carrying the baby, and Joan
leading him. Joan turned and locked
the cabin door, and Kazan heard a sob
in her throat as they followed the man
down to the river. The big canoe was
packed and waiting. Joan got In first,
with the baby. Then, still holding the
babiche thong, she drew Kazan up
close to her, so that he lay with his
weight against her.
The sun fell warmly on Kazan's
back as they showed off, and he closed
his eyes, and rested his head on Joan's
lap. Her hand fell softly on his shoul-
der. He heard again that sound which
the man could not hear, the broken sob
in her throat, as the canoe moved slow
ly down to the wooded point.
Joan waved her hand back at the
cabin, just disappearing behind the
trees.
'Good-by" she criedly sadly. "Good-
by" And then she buried her face
close down to Kazan and the baby, and
sobbed.
The man stopped padding.
You're not sorry-Joan" he asked.
They were drifting past the point
now, and the scent Of Gray Wolf came
to Kazan's nostrils, rousing him, and
bringing low whine from his throat.

Joan shook her head.

The point with its white finger of

head. She, too, saw the point, and
suddenly the babiche leash slipped
from her fingers, and strange light
leaped into her blue eyes as she saw
what stood at the end Of that white tip
of sand. It was Gray Wolf. Her blind
eyes were turned toward Kazan. At
last Gray Wolf, the faithful, under

could not see. Kazan and the man-smell
were together. And they were going

the canoe drifted farther and farther
away, she settled back on her launches,

Don't Stay Gray! dore's an
oId.tims Recipe that Any
body can Apply.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded. gray hair to its natu-
raj color dates back to grandmothers
time. She used 1t to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attrac-
tive. Whenever her hair took on that
dull, faded or streaked appearance,
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect
But brewing at home Is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays. by asking at
any drug store for a bottle Of IVY

you will get this famous old prepara-
ton. improved by the addition of other
ingredients, which can be depended
upon to restore natural color and
beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says II darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell IT has
been applied You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with 1t and
draw this through your hair, taking
one strand at q time. By morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, It becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.

FOOD POWERS urge
AMMONIA Saving.
Warn Owners of Refriseratins
Plants Against Waste.

The Food Administration has is
sued an appeal to owners of refrig-
Grating plants to do all they can to
stop waste in their use of ammonia.
During 1918 the government
should have for munitions alone
100000 pounds Of ammonia more
than 1t Is possible to make by work.
Ing all the plants producing am

traitor declares in this appeal.
This shortage will be greatly in
creased by the ammonia furnished
ice making and refrigeratinE plants,
but 1t is hoped that by appealing to
the patriotism and business sense of
all ammonia users, and urging them
to stop all waste and leakage, the
usual consumption may be curtailed
to such an extent as will permit at
least the most efficient plants to
run.
"A saving of 25 per cent in. the
ammonia consumption of ice and re-
frigerating plants would mean sew

AS a means of effecting ammonia
savings owners Of plants are urged
to institute bonus system by which

Reports Of German soldiers living on
starvation rations and reduced to the
last stages of penury are false and
only tend to give greater security to
the enemy, according to the observa-
tions of a Georgetown University stu
dent who is serving with the United
States army base hospital, No. 10, at
Treport, France. He has written an
account Of his experience to a friend
at the university. German prisoners
taken recently he describes as being
well fed.

His letter to a university friend is, in

Describes Trip.
IT am now in a better position to
tell you of my experiences. After
leaving you at New York we had an
uneventfuI trip across to Europe. It
took US ten days, with good weather.
On the ninth day out we spotted land,
and what a cheer went up!
Then an American destroyer con-
voyed us, and wish you could have
heard the noise at the thought that
American destroyers are doing active
work in the European war zone. The
British destroyers came with US, one
at a time. We finally landed at Liv-
erpool on a Sunday night and came
into dock Monday morning.
I'VE marched to the station through
thousands of yelling and raving people.
Well, from Liverpool we went to
Blackpool. We stayed there eleven
days. One day at Blackpool we
marched to an amusement ring. 1t
happened that they had a "knock-the-
baby down and get a good =
cigar" stand there.
One OF the gables was named Wilson.
We paraded down in front Of the
place and made the manager take 1t
down.
HE did so willingly. We went from
Blackpool to Southampton. There
we saw 1900 English Tommies board

Now. shall give you some news
about the war. Truly, though, it isn't
war. 1t is hell The tales they used
to tell about German crimes are
tame compared with things I hear

I have charge of about fifty
patients. see that they are fed reg
ularly and cared for. etc. like the
work immensely. It Is wonderful to
sit with them and talk. About twice
a week a convoy comes in. It is
filled with wounded every time. The

in the morning and everybody has to
shell out of bed and receive them

They bring back souvenirs with
them, made of bullets, big shells and
buttons from their coats.
II am about sixty miles from the
front but can hear the big guns
very distinctly on a still day or night.
THE prevailing opinion over here
Is that the war will not last another
year. The Germans are pretty well
beaten, they say.
These reports that are being cir
culated about the German troops
being starved Is all nonsense. These
reports are calculated to fortify them
against weakening, IL they hear of
them. The German prisoners taken
are large, well-fed and apparently
healthy.
THE fighters are giving up the
trenches. They d. the deadly work
now on open ground and have about
given up extensive trench digging.
The troops simply jump into large
shell holes, made from explosions.
The Germans are slowly being driven
