CHAPTER VIII.
In the Shoshone Desert

Excited as n was, and frightened,
the girl was still composed enough
to grasp the nature of her surround
ings, and she had time now, as the
wagon rumbled forward, to think owe
all that had been said, and fit it into
the circumstances.
What did they propose doing with
her? The question caused her blood
to run cold. That these people were
desperate she had every reason to be-
lieve; they were battling for big
stakes not even murder had hitherto
stood In their way. Why then, should
they hesitate to take her life, II they
actually deemed it necessary to the
final success of their plans? She re-
membered what Beaton had said about
her room-the condition In which it
had beer left. They had removed all
her things, and left a note behind in
womanly handwriting to explain her
hurried departure. There vas a mas
ter criminal mind, watchful of every
detail, behind this conspiracy. He
was guarding against every possibility
of rescue.
The uncertainty, the fear engen-
dered by her thought, the drear ST.
lence almost caused her to scream.
But she conquered this.
The gray dawn came at last. spec

glimpse of the surroundings. They
were travelling d.eadily south. the
horses beginning to exhibit traces of
WEAKNESS, yet still keeping up a
logged trot. All about extended a
wild, desolate scene of rock and sand,
bounded on every horizon by barren
ridges. Nowhere was there slightest
sign Of life-no bird. no beast, no
snake even, crossed their path. All
was dead, silent. stricken with desola-
ton.

the two men brought forth materials
from within, making a hasty fire. and
preparing breakfast. Water was given

the girl was left to do as she pleased.

SAGE TEA KEEPS
YOUR HAIR DARK
When Mixed With Sulphur 1t
Brings Back Its Beautiful
Lustre at Once

Gray hair, however handsome, de-
notes advancing age. We all know
the advantages of q youthful appear
ance. Your hair is your charm. It
makes or mars the face. When ii
fades, turns gray and looks streaked,
just a few applications of Sage Tea
and Sulphur enhances its appearance
hundred-fold.
Don't stay gray! Look young!
Either prepare the recipe at home or
get from any drug store bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" which is merely the old-time
recipe improved by the addition of
other ingredients. Thousands of
folks recommend this ready-to-use
preparation, because it darkens the
hair beautifully, besides, no one can
possibly tell, as it darkens so natur-
ally and evenly. You moisten a
sponge or soft brush with it, drawing
this through the hair, taking one
small strand at time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears; after an
other application or two, its natural
color is restored and it becomes thick,
glossy and lustrous, and you appear
years younger.

EMPLOY CoNvlCJs ON ROADS
Satisfactory Results Reported From
Twelve States Where Experiment
! Has Been Tried.

Twelve states have tried the en-
ployment Of convict labor for road
building thoroughly, and report that
the results have been satisfactory.
They are Arizona, Oklahoma, Florida,
Maryland,' Illinois, Louisiana, Rhode
Island, New Jersey, Wyoming, Utah,
Idaho and Nebraska.
Since the United States government
has made its great appropriations for
good roads, which the states are du-
plicating as the federal law requires
as fast as their legislatures meet, the
department Of agriculture has been
making complete survey of the meth
DDS Of road building in the states.
Concerning the use of convict labor
the conclusion from these reports is
that where the convicts are we'll fed
and housed they work well, save the
state in construction costs, and them
selves profit physically and mentally.
