want to DRAG you back to Bentsvllle.
But we wanted to make you want to

He stopped so abruptly that l

before he realized that he did not

The next month was interminably
long. There was no word from his
artist, nor could he learn one thing
about her. Mrs. Bowers, though be-
sieged with inquiries refused to ans

At last, one day another gray en-
velope came in the mail, and the
hands that opened it trembled in their
eagerness. Another card was in it,
this time of little girl of fourteen
with big brown eyes and waving hair
With throb he recognized her as the
little playmate Of his early days who
had always been with him In the

EXaC4y thirty minutes ldLeI
Andrew Graves was ringing the bell
at IL Grey terrace. No one was in
the room where he was shown to
wait, but hung against one wall were
half a dozen dainti1y executed sket-
ches of his old farm home, clear and
true as the hand of mortal could
make.
Hungrily he gazed at them, and
then turned to find the artist at his
side. Without a word he took her in
his arms and kissed her. She made
no effort to release herself.
"Maris, know you now! My little
girl sweetheart! My sweetheart for
ever! Will you come 70 me when the
apple blossoms are here again?"
And she said that sho would.

COMB SAGE TEA IN
 FADED OR GRAY HAIR
Look Young! Common Garden Sage and Sulphur Darkens so Naturally
 NoIOdY Can Tell

Grandmother kept her hair beauti- fully darkened, glossy and attractive with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with won deIful effect. By asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will get large bot tie of this old-time recipe, improved DIV the addition of other ingredients, all ready to use, at very little cost. This simple mixture can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair.
 A well-known downtown druggist says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound now because 1t darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied It's SD easy to use, too. You simply dampen a comb or soft brush, and draw it through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two, it is restored to it's natural color and looks glossy, soft and beautiful.
