ing, and acquitting themselves like veter-
ans.
The play itself has an interesting if
somewhat obvious plot, dealing with the
fortunes Of various inmates of the Silver
Trout Inn, an hosiery in the Adironacfs,
the property Of one Mrs. Gray, who has
purchased the Inn to provide employment
as housekeeper for young friend of hers,
May 1lake, concerning whose past life

wears, ard whom she desires to trace, en-
ploying for ths purpose representative

loved Mary there, buc she had refused to

unexplained presence OF a certain Liberty

registry number which shows it to be
among the loot stolen by a famous wo
man crook Getaway Belle" Thea
things happen thick and fast 1t develops
that Mary has been lady crook and has
served term in a penitetiary, and that
Miss Match knows it. 1t looks for a
time as if the detective lore Of Mr.. Billy
would uncover nothing but a criminal
sweetheart, but everything comes out all
right, the /misdemeanor for which Mary
served time is at length fastened On the
proper person, none other than the catt-
ish Miss Match, and the possession of the
stolen bonds identify her as Getaway

that Ishn9el the Hermit was going to
turn out to be the missing husband. He

by the action of Col. Thomas w. Mil

jurisdiction, Col. Miller also took over

her property, to be administered by
the government until she makes a
satisfactory accounting of her own and
her sons holdings.
This action may result in disclosing
the hiding place of the mysterious pot
of gold which Mrs. Bergdoll testified
before the congressional committee she
has buried on her farm All attempts
to induce her to reveal where the gold
is buried have been futile, but now
since the government has taken pos
session of the property of her son and
herself, the gold, being part of the
estate of one or the other, must be
accounted for end turned ever to the
alien property custodian.
Without disclosing the details of
procedure, officials of the war depart
mcnt have stated to members of con-
gross that the department has every
reason to believe that it's efforts to gel
Bergdoll again into it's custody will
prove successful. It is to be hopeC
that their belief is we'll founded an6
that in the near future Bergdoll will
be rearrested and brought back to the
United States to serve his sentence
His evasion of the punishment is ex.
tremcly calling to every patriotic
American and particularly to the mil
lions of men who willingly gave ser:
vice to their country in the. war
There is some satisfaction, in the
meantime, to be derived from thu
knowledge that -Bergdoll's source o.
income is osed.-Washington Post.

JAPANESE SEER PREDICTS BAD
 YEAR HERE

Tokyo-The fortunes Of the United States of America for 1921, as seen by Professor Donsho Kodamar Orien- tai seer and diviner. are most dis couraging. Professor Kodama it was who visited in the United States, talk ed to President Wilson and received the executiye's assurance that he had no intention of remarrying, yet inn mediately proph@-ed that the Presi- dent would marry a widow. At the Peers Club in Tokyo he recently call ed representative Japanese and for eign newspapermen together that he might give them, as is his custom, the prophecy for !s2l regarding the powers of the world.
 Rriphtness appears in the predic- tion of Professor Kodama only for the Japanese Empire, and even in this country the failure to solve the Amer iea-Japanese question is a diScOurag- ing note America. says the Japan csc prophet, is to experience an ex- tremely hard year. England will be sorely torn by internal strife, Ger many is either headed for the devil or for prosperity at breakneck speed, while Russia will continue to be seething pot of turmoil and will be summed by the world at large.
 China will suffer from renewed droughts and will experience a, radi- cal Administrative change, but Japan is to be blessed by the gods and will smile in the sunshine or an all-rouno prosperous year In which all her problems save the American-Japanese question will be solved.
 Professor Kodama'S method of re- eeiying prophecies is most interesting. He claims to obtain important divi- nations by certain ceremony in which he makes himself as one of the gods, and thus hears their divine mes ges.
 The United States Professor Ko- dana compares to "a man with out | legs to stand on,' but he hastens to assure America that some great pow CTS. possibly from Asia, will assist her | to regain her equilibrium and recover | her composure. Japan and Ameri- | ca" he says, stand like two noun | tains. There will be no definite solu- | ton of the problems now pending be- tween them, as neither mountain can | approach the other.
 The reports that Japan may have a new Premier daring the year of 1921 were denied by the prophecy of | Professor Kodama. Premier Hara, | according to the divination, is to re- I main head of the government at least | twelve months longer
 | Queried to whether or not any o1
 his larger prophecies had ever failed | in undertaking, Professor kodama 1 admitted that he hadtbeen too quick | while in America in 1916, to predic
 a. Republican victory. After the Will | son second term victory he realized | that he had been too quick in pre- | dieting Republican success.
 l ''By the way,'' he said. t'I predicted
 at the White House that President | Wilson would marry a widow. The
 no intention of marrying, but ir
 spite of this he was married befor,
 the year was over just as I had pre- 1 dicted."

FEW FOLKS HAVE
 GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies are Us- ing Recipe of Sage Tea
 and Sulphur.

Hair that loses it's color and 1ustre, or when it fades. turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused by lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so attractive, use only this old time recipe
 Nowadays we get this famous mix ture improved by the addition of oth- CT ingredients by asking at any drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" which dark ems the hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; but what delights the ladies with Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Compound is that, be- sides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an appearance of abundance.-Adv.
