An old RECIPE

Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray. Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lusfre to the hair when faded. streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to get
this mixture was TO make It at home,
which is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for ssWyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" You will get large
bottle OF this old-time recipe improved
by the addition OF other ingredients.
at very little cost. Everybody uses
this preparation now, because no one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair. as 1t does 1t so naturally
and evenly. You dampen sponge or
soft Sbrush with 1t and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair disappears. and after another ap-
piication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark. thick and glossy and
you look years younger Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound is delightful
toilet requisite. It Is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention OF
disease.

Be Sure It's the Right Road.

It's the best policy to 60 slow
enough to make sure of the way you
would go. There's many youth car
ried away by the enthusiasm of the
minute. He has never learned the
true sense Of values, and lacks the
measures for proper ratings. Many
get the work bee and leave school
long before they are fitted for toll
Some get the idea that they are
never treated right at any job and
throw it up before they get to the
point Of earning a dividend for their
employer. Still others leave home
thinking they will have full oppor-
tunity to do as they please. How
little such folks understand life. There
is much repentance that would never
have been needed, and tears that
might have been spared if folks had
been willing to take the right road in
life.-Grit.

CAT DELIVERED ITS MESSAGE
Battle Scared Feline Proved It al

The other night l saw clever cat.

I'LL alone, writes a correspondent OF
the Boston Herald. He looked up at
the moon and opened his mouth. l
braced myself for what believed to
be coming. namely, his effort at self
expression. But no, this was clever
cat. Like o. Henry, he dealt in clever
surprises. In his attitude there was
something of suspense. My waiting
nervous system felt the strain Of 1t.
Then he gave voice to great silence.
He said nothing in dramatic way.
With a self-satisfed smirk on his
pussy face he jumped off the fence
gracefully and disappeared into the
night He was q clever cat. He did
the unexpected in an original and
artistic way. He annoyed me, for he
failed to live up to my conception of
cats, yet l felt certain admiration
for him.
The next night another cat sat on
the fence. This was great cat,
though his appearance was far from
prepossessing. He was scrawny, and
his coat bore, all too plainly, the scars
Of many 'foughten field" The d.
vine light Of unrest burned in his
eyes. He threw back his head and
poured out his very soul in vigorous
expression, sincere and earnest, though
unappreciated. Nothing daunted by
the lack of applause, or by the shower
Of missiles directed at his Scared
person, he gave full vent to his mes
sage in form which, though uncon-
ventional, seemed best to fit his muse.
Then, with an air of utter abandon,
he shook the dust of the fence from
his uncOncerned feet and disappeared.

A moment or two later Hugh Drum
mond came in. Slightly under six feet
in height, he was broad in proportion.
His best friend would not have called
him good-looking, but he was the for
tunate pOSsessOr of that cheerful type
of ugliness which inspires immediate
confidence in its owner.
He paused as he got to the table and
glanced at the rows of letters. 'Who
would have thought it, James?' he re-
marked. "Great Scot! l shall have to
get partner"
With disapproval showing in every
line of her face, Mrs. Denny entered
the room. carrying the kidneys, and
Drummond glanced at her with a
smile.
Good morning, Mrs. Denny" he
said. "Wherefore this worried look
on your face? Has that reprobate
James been misbehaving himself?"
The worthy woman snorted. "He
has not, sir-not yet, leastwise. And

hapless Denny, who was quite unneceS-

putting them back again-'if so be

"him and me will have words-as I've

stalked from the room, after staring
pointedly at the letters in Drummond's S
hand, and the two men looked at one
another.
"It's that there reference to crime,
sir, that's torn it," said Denny in a
hoarse whisper.
"Thinks I'm going to lead you

opening the first envelope, and sud,

bow Lakington turned away, and
through the glass Drummond watched
him get his hat and stick from the
cloakroom. Then he looked at the
girl, and noticed that she had gone a
little white.
"What's the matter, old thing?' he
asked quickly. "Are you feeling
faint?"
She shook her head, and gradually
the color came back to her face. "I'm

remarked, that up to now our conver-

The girl threw back her head and
laughed merrily. "You poor young
man." she cried; put that way 1t does
sound alarming" Then she grew Sc
rious again. There's plenty of time
for you to back out now If you like"
She was looking at him gravely as

pulled himself together.
"The last thing l want is for the
