"Fm no worse" said the factor,

The company would bring you to Win

hospital there, and you'd soon recover
the use of your limbs"
Ever since his stroke the factor had
dragged his right leg, and his right
arm hung by his side. He hardly ever
left his bed, and then only to sit,
wrapped in his caribou robe, staring
out through the window at the port
age.
"Ill no go to Winnipeg" said Nc
Donald. "Tll just stay here until I'm
better. I'm thinking the Dog TOOths

speaking with feverish energy.
His mind, which had turned from
one idea to another, running from it's
fears, now leaped upon them. "Whatn

Mcdonald, the factor, lay on his bed
in an upstairs room of the house
whose lower story was the trading
store, and looked out through the win
dow over the swamp beneath. 1t was
two weeks since Molly had found him
lying with closed eyes on the floor,
with the flushed face and heavy breath
ing of apOplexy.
For two and twenty years McDOn-
aid had lived there, serving the COM
pany. Little had changed during that
time The chief change had been in
himself and, since this was to be meas

than the steady progress of time, Nc
Donald could have counted on the fin
gers of one hand the scale-marks of his
life.
The little finger was his arrival at
Toronto from Aberdeen, drawn to the
New World by stories of life in the
service of the famous company. The
third finger was Mary.
He had met her in Toronto, soon
after his arrival in Canada, and she
had been born in his own town, though
he had not known her there Molly
knew vaguely that he had champiOned
her in trouble that had come upon
her, for which she was not to blame.
There had been a blackmailer, brawl,
a knife-thrust, a blow struck wildly
with some implement; dead man,
White-faced girl clinging to him, and
then the silence of the starlit streets.
Donald Mcdonald still bore the scar
of a ripping wound along his right
forearm.
That had been their cOurtship. The

 GRAY HAIR DARK
Try Grandmothcr's Cid FavOrite Re cipe of Sage Tea and
 Sulphur

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly com pounded, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when fad ed, streaked or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound you will get a large bottle of this famous old recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients at a small cost.
 Don't stay gray! Try it. No one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You 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, and after another ap- plcation or two your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.

CREMO BREWING Co.
 DENIES ALLEGATION
Also ProiSses Ignorance of Vel.
 lowly's Charges

Thomas R. Morton, superintendent Of the Cremo Brewery Co.,, when in- terviewed by a representative Of the Herald this morning stated that the first intimation that he had had of the alleged charges made by Chief E. C. Yellowly of the general prohibition agents, to Federal Prohibition Com missioner Haynes, concerning the al- leged ssale Of beer containing more than 1 per cent of alcohol was when he read 1t this morning in a despatch for Washington.
 The story in question which was printed by morning paper said that Chief F. c. Yellowley of the prohibi- tion squad made charges to Commis- sioner Haynes that the Cremo Brew cry Co. of this city had violated 13 provisions of the national prohibition and revenue acts and that he recom- mended assessments against the brew cry for taxes and penalties of ap- proximately s1o0,0oo.
 In answer to a statement that s. 900 barrels of the beed had been nov ed out of this state within the past two months. Mir. Norton said that there hasn't been 5000 barrels moved out of the plant in the past year. He said that the force at the plant now consists of eight men who work three day week, whereas before prohibit tion there were 32 men working six day a week. He said that it was lamost impossible to turn out 5000 in two months with such a'smal force of men. Of the eight men who are employed there at the present time, seven are engineers and one is a eel larman.
 When asked if there was any real beer on the premises, he said that there was, because in order to make near beer it was necessary to have real beer. He said that at the present time there is enough material to make up about 5000 barrels of near bear. This. however, could not be turned out for quite some time.
 MT Norton is of the opinion that the present situation is the result of spite on the part of some local people Recently, it was known that com plaints were made to certain news- papers and to the revenue office in Hartford by certain persons who had a supposed grudge in for the officials of the plant
