SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't Stay Gray! Here's an
Old-tirne Recipe that Any
body can Apply.

The use OF Sage and Sulphur for re.
storing faded, gray hair to its natura
color dates back to grandmother
time. She used it to keep her hail
beautifully dark. glossy and attrac
tive. Whenever her hair took on thai
dull, faded or streaked appearance
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect.
But brewing at home Is mussy ano
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking al
any drug store for a bottle Of "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" yor
will get this famous old preparation
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, which can be depended up.
on to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
- A well-known downtown druggist
ysays II darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell II has
been applied. You simply dampen .
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. By morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an.
other application or two, 1t becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.
Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Com.
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire a more youthful
appearance. 1t is not intended fol
the cure, mitigation or prevention OF

The street loafers stared after her,
and two men began walking abreast of
her on the other side of the road.
followed more closely.
AS she stood upon the curb on the
east side of Sixth avenue saw her
glance timidly up and down before
venturing to cross. IL was quite half
a minute before she summoned reso-
luton to plunge beneath the structure
Of the elevated railroad. When she
had reached the other side she stood
still again before continuing west
ward.
The two men crossed the street and
planted themselves behind her. They
were speaking in a tongue that sound
ed like French. and one had a patch
over his eye. A taxicab was crawling
up behind them. / was sure that they
were in pursuit of her.
The four Of us were almost abreast
in the middle of the long block be
tween Sixth and Seventh avenues.
Suddenly the man with the patch
turned on me, lowered his head and
tied me off my feet. i fell into the
.'oadway, and at that instant the Sec
ond fellow grasped the girl by the arm
and the taxicab whirled up and
stopped.
The girls assailants seemed to be
trying to force her into the cab. The
bag flew open, scattering shower Of
gold pieces upon the pavement.
And then, before l could get upon
my feet again the dog had leaped at
the throat of the man with the patch

and sent him stumbling backward. Be
fore he recovered his balance / was at
the other man, striking out right and
left.
1t was all the act Of an instant, and
in an instant the two men had jumped
into the taxicab and were being
driven swiftly away. l was standing
beside the terrified girl, while an III
looking crowd, gathering from God
knows where, surrounded us and
fought like harpies for the coins
which lay scattered about.
The girl pulled at my arm distract
eddy. She was white and trembling,
and her big gray eyes were full Of
fear.
Help mel" she pleaded, clinging to
my sleeve with her little gloved hands.
1.-The money is nothing. have eight
thousand dollars more in my bag.
Help me away"
She spoke in foreign, bookish ac-
cent, as though she had learned Eng
fish at school. Fortunately for us the
mob was too busily engrossed In Its
search to hear her words.
So drew her arm through mine and
we hurried toward Sixth avenue,
where we took an uptown car.
We had reached Herald square
when it occurred to me that my COM
panion did not seem to know her des-
tination So we descended there. l

beautiful creature came bounding up
to us.
"Where are you going?" / asked the
girl. 81 will take you to your home

ward information on the last word.
II do not know where I am going"
she answered slowly. 81 have never
been in New York until today"
"But you have friends here3"
She shook her head.
"But are you really carrying eight

New York at night? Do you know
the character Of the place you came

clue TO her actions.
"Oh, yes. That Is Mr.. Days gam

from Fox Lake, Wis, Of the death
following prctracted illness
of her brother, the Oldest of the
family, aged eighty-four years, who

with the additional bereavement of

deeply sympathize with her in the

Opie Read belongs to the old
school of American journalists, type
that is now fast passing. In the o:d
bays Opie edited number Of differ.

Bigger Premiums
In Horse Exhibits
Better Live Stock and Farm
Product Exhibit Assured
Liberal Awards

Lie Uodru Oh directors OF the Java
lier County Fair Association held a
meeting at the Office of the secretary
last Saturday afternoon. The pre-
Emium list for the Fair for this year
will. include large number of
changes some of which are as follows;
In the horse department special
effort will be made to make batter
showing of farm teams. The
premiums will be $40, 81. SO and SIS.
The classes are for pure bred draft
teams, grade drafts, general purpose
teams and FOUR horse teams. In the
light horse class the regular pre-.
miums for carriage teams, roadsters,
single drivers and saddle horses will
be given.
If In the cattle department no change
will be made in the amount of pre-.
minums given but the herd prize of
$25 which has been given as an ex-
pense allowance in addition to pre-
miums will be paid to all breeders
showing breeding herd. In former
years this $25 special premium was
paid to only those living ten miles
from Langdon. The cost of showing
cattle is more than any other stock
and on that account this distance rule
is waived.
In former years there has always
been shortage in the number of
| exhibits in the agricultural building.
| The showing of grasses, grains anc
vegetables has not been up to the
average in the other departments.
For this year special prize of $40.
$3.50 and SIS will be offered to ele
vator agents exhibits of one hall
bushel each of fife and durum, wheat,
j oats, rye, barley and flax. In the
other classes in this department the
