 It was indeed like old times when. at that hour, I found myself seated beside him in a hansome, my revolver in my pocket .and the thrill of a:dven- ture in my heart. Holmes was cold and stern and silent As the gleam of the street-lamps flashed upon his austere features, saw that his brows were drawn down in thought and his thin lips compressed. I knew not what wild beast we were about to hunt down in the dark jungle Of criminal London, but I was well as- ter huntsman that the adventure was a most grave one-while the sardonic smile which occasionally broke through his ascetic gloom boded little good for the object of our quest

Our route was cer- tainly a singular one. Holmes knowledge of the byways of London was extraordinary, and on this occa- sion he passed rapidly. and with an assured step through a net work of news and stables. the very existence of which I had never known s

The latter style was quite the mode for little girls for many years. Not SO long ago the rather short comb pushed the pompadour tos the fore. This, with the broad back comb that propped up the topknot, formed the Gibson girl coiffure.
 And now
 Tha comb forms a wide and charm ing background in front of which Miss Manhattan piles up her haid.

cHRiSTY MATHEWSON
HAS ANOTHER RELAPSE

Word from Saranac Lake is to
the effect that Christy Mathewson
has had another relapse, and that
his condition Is now less hopeful
than ever.
During the summer the former
Ming Of the Moundsmen was re-
\ ted as slowly improving. Even
as late as early fall he seemed TO
be picking up. He watched through
the newspapers the progress Of his
old club in the world series, and the
winning of the world series by the
Giants was vertitablc tonic for
him.
Another thing that cheered and
heartened THE old Master was
the testimonial game, which showed
him the enduring affection 81 the
Manhattan fans. This game produced
fund OF over $4,000 which was
turned over TO Matty.
The relapse, attended by a high
fever, came recently. \ letter from
Mrs Mathewson to "A friend in New
York indicates the fear that her
famous husband Is failing rapidly.

here yesterday for the game with the
Army at the Polo Grounds tomorrow.
II was the plan of Bob Folwell, the
Navy coach, to have his players work
out at the Polo Grounds, but the rain
and the condition OF the field caused
him to modify his plans somewhat.
He went over the repertory of plays
with his squad and discussed the prob
able method OF attack which the Army
will employ, and otherwise admins
tered to the morals of his players.
The lineup which will start the
game has been decided upon, The
fact that Noyes will not be in the
backfield at the kickoff is taken by
Navy followers to mean that he will
be held back as a reservist capable of
exerting telling pressure the moment
he Is sent into the, game. as was the
case last year, when he ran riot
through the Army defense in the last
and deciding stages of the contest.

cellent condition. He has played but
little In games this year. In the first
game Of the, season against Spring
held. he played long enough to earn
one touchdown. French was in the
next against Yale severtl weeks later
and then only for a part Of one period.
he was hurt in that game and did
not get back into the practice until
over fortnight ago. but had been
worked steadily since then. and 1t was
generally supposed that he would be
sure starter against the middics.
French is Needed.
Army adherents believe that with
French in the game the soldiers will
gtve q good account of themselves.
But without going to the extent of pre-
dieting victory. However, II the West
Point star does not start, the odds
prevailing. which are understood here
to be Q to ] on the Navy to win, are
considered to be perfectly justified.
Another feature of the lineup az an
nounced places Myers at right end in

whom 1t was believed had the position
clinched. White is playing his third
year for the Army and faced the Navy

For one SO clever as Tom to over

ST. AUGUSTINE EDITOR

He answered questions for some to

like every newspaper man does oc-

TO run along. He's a real fellow-an-
hcnest-to-goodness, hundred per cent
American. We approve of him. We
Ike him. He didn't say whether he
approved of us or not, but he said he
was glad to meet us; and a copy of
the St. Augustine Evening Record
was reposing on his table, indi eating
the splendid literary taste of the Pres
ident-elect.
Oh, yes, he talked about lots of
things. He had seen John Stuart of

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 a youthful appearance
Your hair is your charm. 1t makes OF
mars the face. When it fades, turns
gray, and looks streaked, just few
applications of Sage Tea and Sulphur
enhances its appearance a hundred
fold.
Don't stay gray. Look young! Either
prepare the recipe at home or get
from any drug store a bottle OF
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" which is merely the old-tme
recipe improved by the addition of oh
er ingredients. Thousands of folks
recommend this ready-to-use prepar-
alton, because it darkens the hair
beautifully; besides, no one can pos
sibly tell, as it darkens so naturally
and evenly. You moisten a sponge or
soft brush with it, drawing this
through the har, taking one small
strand at time. BY morning the gray
hair disappears; after another appli,
cation or two its natural color is re-
stored, and it becomes thick, glossy
and lustrous, and you appear years
younger.
