Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea, with sulphur and alco- hol added. will turn gray, strealIed and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome.

 While gray, faded hair is not sin full, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractive ness. By darkening your hair with wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound, 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 thorugh your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared.

Night was swiftly encroaching on the mountain passes as we descended from the summit. Once we passed a family of campers with their bright fire cracking and burning, which cer-. tain1y looked good to the late traveller. The stars already shone brightly in up that it seemed as though one could almost reach them. Indeed, we were in rather elevated position: deep and dark abyss on one side. and rocky crags towering on the other. The car gave lurch once and we thought all was over for us. but it only landed Into some mountain stream which fell in great falls beneath Once a wolf dashed in front of the bright head lights and was lost in the dark trees

AN APPRECIATION OF PoRrIA

Of all the characters in the "Mer- chant of Venice" I think that PoTfto is the most likable. While we honor and respect Antonio, we love and ad- mire Portia. We like Bassanio and are glad that he chooses alright in the casket scene but always Portia holds first place in our hearts.
 First we like her because she is very human and democratic. that is, she is like lady of today. We find this expressed in Act 1, Scene ?. where she and her maid Nerissa are talking about her many suitors and criticizing them each in turn.
 Second because although she loves Bassanio she keeps her promise to her dead father. by not telling him which is the right casket.
 When she accepts Bassanio's friends with him, we love and admire her all the more.
 We love her when she is willing to leave her house in the hands of strangers and work for the cause of Antonio. For she did work and in a profitable way to rescue Antonio from the unmerciful Jew, Shylock.
 In the court scene Portia worked only for one side but she did it in such way that one could hardly tell which side she was for She could do this because of her brilliancy and wit.
 When Portia does not become an- gered with Bassanio when he did not tell her that he had gone in debt to buy costly gifts she shows true wom- anly qualities. She was very generous when she gave Bassanio twice the money he owed Antonio with which to pay his debt
 We admire the way in which she treats Nerissa. Many ladies of her day would think it improper to have confidential chat with their maids they preferred to remain aloof
 After enumerating all of these quail ties we find that Portia was a noble lady.

There were loud laundering sounds which did not die away as we passed-great dark walls looming up in the moonlight. We suddenly came upon a wooden hut in space and would have thought it uninhabited, path and demanded with couple of rifles that we halt. We immediately ended our peaceful trip and awaited further developments. This was the first control so we learned, for one boy coming up to us asked us our name. number of the car and a million other useless questions. This was all trans acted in the dark. Finally he walked into the hut to phone down to head quarters at Camp Curay below. 4 loud buzzing and screeching of the wires set up. At last he reached them saying:

 At last he came out again and com manded us to go. We stopped for a little information on the route though; questioned him concerning the odd things that had occurred.
 He smiled and said. "Oh, the thun- dering noise; why that was probably the three falls that you heard, and your terrible dark objects looming up were the graces; better you ought to have taken your trip in daylight as you are missing much wonderful scenery"
 How far are we from Yosemite camp proper?" I asked.
 We found it was just a matter of five more miles but on account of the danger of the road it would take us as much time as it would to cross 20 miles of good road.
 It sounded rather risky to be under taking the journey in the dark so we decided to stop there, although the guard did not seem to take our deci- sion very good humoredly.

A STRANGE STORY
(Concluded)


 I wanted to jump up, I wanted to yell, yet I wanted to cover up my head to shut out the sound. But for the life of me. I couldn't resist turning to the tarily pulled there-and there, on the crest of the lowest hill was a slowly moving white figure. If I ever believed in ghosts it was at that minute. The thing was coming toward me, nearer, nearer and nearer. I wanted to scream. I wanted to stop it's approach. but was speeches., powerless, paralyZed The apparition, wierd and uncan--t as the sound I had heard, looked with glassy, far-off, vacant stare. The figure stopped when it was about foot from me, and the eyes held my own. I was fascinated with kind of fear. I could not draw my eyes from those large, staring eyes that gazed into mine. Then it threw back it's head and emitted that terrible, pierc ing sound. A shriek, rising piercingly, then a wild, sarcastic laugh that echoed, and echoed and echoed, and then sank to half moan, half sob, dying away. If you have ever heard a crazy person laugh you can get some idea Of the sound. The stiffness of the desert, the rising moon. and the strangeness of it all was broken by my four companions. who sprang up, cry ing simultaneously: Whats that?"
 I looked for the figure-it, was gone. But I knew it had not been an imagin- ary figure for others had heard the cry. After I could talk coherentIy, I told them. We all instifctively looked at our pistols, then sat around the fire, none of us caring to sleep further. We had not spoken through the rest of the night, neither did we speak while getting breakfast and saddling our horses.
 Drake and started first. but Eyes was just saddling up when we left. i was thinking of last nights occur renee and not paying much attention to the road. We must have gone about a quarter of mile when Drake caught my sleeve and pointed to a white ob ject, lying in the road. The horses shied almost throwing us. Carefully dismounting, I saw myself looking into the white, cold face of my midnight apparition, The eyes were closed. thank heaven for that. Reason slowly dawned upon me-a crazy person. pinched and thin. He had probably dropped dead here, because he could go no further. While we stood and gazed the others rode up, dismounted, and of one accord pulled off their hats. In death one could read the nobility of the mans features. the intellectual forehead, and the kind, yet stern mouth. He looked like a statue carved by a famous sculptor. While we were standing thus and wondering, we turned at hearing a galloping horse. 1t was Eyes. He had never seemed so gay before, and we decided that last nights occurrence had probably diverted his mind for the time. He stopped at the looks on our faces and sprang from his horse. crying: Whats up?" We moved aside to let him see.
 "Eyes" stood for a minute, deathly pale, then dropped beside the dead form. Then we heard two words com ing from his white lips-"my father."

SOUNDS OF THE NIGHT

One night while we were on camp ing trip we slept in a small cabin which was built in the bottom of a canyon. In the still night I woke up and could not go back to sleep. so I got up softly and slipped out doors. The dogs. lying near the door, raised their heads, stared at me a second and then slept again. I sat down on a small rock near the cabin. The night seemed so cool and lovely, I could hear the soft murmuring of the creek, and a gentle rustling among the leaves of the tall trees. On all sides looming dark in the moonlight rose the steep high sides of the canyon, seeming to shut us off from all the rest of the world. From the pasture on the hill side came, now and again, the soft tinkle of the horse bells. Suddenly. breaking in upon the softer noise of the night, sounded a distant coyotes bark. The dogs jumped up, sniffed the air and growled. Then as the sound died away. they lay down again. As I crept back to bed and to sleep, I knew that the night, which I had thought so still, was really full of sounds.

THE COMING OF A RAIN STORM

I was riding along one day when suddenly it began to thunder and get dark. I turned by horses head toward home thinking I might reach home be- fore the storm reached me.
 I looked back and I could see the rain coming in huge sheets, hiding one mountain after another from view Then the wind began to blow and the rain was upon me.
 I felt something hitting me on the back and my little pony bowed his neck against the storm. The ground was fast covering with hail, so I spurred my horse to faster gait. rode for nearly two miles through the rain when it suddenly ceased and the sun came out on the main washed mountains.
