able creature walked in on Rodman
No one knew how he got into the
tent or where he came from.
Giovanni told about ~. The tent
flap simply opened, and the big
Oriental appeared. He had some
thing under his arm rolled up in a
prayer-carpet. He gave no atten-
ton 20 Giovanni but ne salamed
like a coolle 20 the little American.
Master" he said. you were hard
TO find. have looked over the world

And he squatted down on the dirty
floor by Rodman's camp stool.
The two men spent the remainder
OF the night looking at the present
that the creature brought Rodman
in his prayer-carpet. They wanted
to know where the Oriental got g.

was looking for Rodman because he

literal meaning.
The present was from the trea-

very carpet around Il, Giovanni said.
was worth twenty thousand lire.
There was another thing that came
out in the talk that Giovanni after
ward recalled. Rodman was to &C
cept the present and the man who
brought II TO him. The Oriental
would protect him, In every way. In
every direction, from things visible
and invisible. He made quite
speech about Il. But. there was one
thing from which he could not pro-
tect him.
The Oriental used OF Of his an

4 edge-a sort OF mental monster that
We feel nature has no right TO pro
/ duce. Lord Bayless TruXley said
that Rodman was four generations
in advance Of the time; and Lord
Bsyless Truxley was. beyond ques-
/ ton, the greatest authority on
| synthetic chemistry in the world.
Rodmand was rich and. every
body supposed, indolent; no one
ever thought very much about him
until he published his brochure on
the scientific manufacture of pre-
cious stones. Then instantly every
body with any pretension TO
knowledge OF synthetic chemistry
turned toward him.
The brochure startled the world.
II proposed to adapt the luster
and beauty OF Jewels 10 commercial
uses. We were being content with
crude imitation colors in our COM
mercial glass. when we could quite
az easily have the actual structure
and the actual luster OF the jewel
IN Il. We were painfully hunting
over the earth. and IN its bowels, for
few crystals and prettlly-colored
stones which we boarded and treas
ured, when in a manufacturing lab
oratory we could easily produce
them, more perfect than nature. and
in unlimited quantity.
Now, II you want to understand
what / am printing here about Rod
man, you must think about this
thing as a scientific possibility and
not as a fantastic notion. Take. for
example, Rodman's address before
the eorbonne, or his report 20 the
International Congress Of Science in
Edinburgh, and you will begin TO
see what I mean. The Marchese
Giovanni, who was a delegate 20
thet congress. and Pastreaux, said
that the only thing in the way Of
an actual practical realization OF
what Rodman outlined was the
formulate. II Rodman could work
out the formulate, jewel-stuff could
be produced as cheaply as glass. and
IN any quantity-by the carload.
Imagine II; sheet ruby, sheet en-
erald. all the beauty and luster Of
Jewels In the windows Of the cor
ner drugstore!
And there IS another thing that
want you 20 think about. Think
about the immnse destruction OF
value-not 10 US so greatly. for our
stocks Of precious stones are not
large; but the hing meant. practi-
cally, wiping out all the assembled
wealth Of Asia except the actual
earth and It's structures.
Put the thing some other way and
consider it. Suppose we should
suddenly discover that pure gold
could be produced by treating COM
mon yellow clay with sulphuric
acid or that some genius should SCI
up a machine on the border o. tho
Sahara that received sand az one
end and turned out sacked wheat (
az the other. What, then. would (
our boarded gold be worth, or the /
OF Australia, Canada or
our Northwest?
The Illustrations are fantastic |
But the thing Rodman was after
was a practical fact. He had it on
the way Giovanni and Lord Bay
less TrUxley were convinced that
he man would work out the for
mulae. They tried. over their sig
natures n prepare the world for n.

LADIES! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and
Sulphur Recipe and No
body Will Know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair TO its nat
ural color dates back to grandmother's
time. She used it to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with Won
derful effect
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays. by asking at
any drug store for bottle OF "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you

4 well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen d
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time. BY morning
the gray hair all disappears, and af-
ter another application or two, it be-
comes beautifully dark and glossy

LITTLE GIRL ON
SEA V0YAGE
FIVE YEAR OLD GIRLS TRAVELS
ALONE FROM NORWAY TO
SIOUX CITY.

Sioux City, April 2S.-Traveling
alone at the age of 5 years, from
Christiana, Norway, to Sioux City, a
distance of 5000 miles, is the rec
ord established by Margot Ostehsen,
who arrived here Friday to live with
her uncle, Victor Ostensen, 1923
Virginia street.
The tots journey followed the
death of her mother in December
which left her an orphan. Mr.. Os-
tensen. OF Sioux City, was the clos
est living relative. He forwarded
adoption papers in February and on
April z, the little girl started the
long journey westward.
1t is declared that this establishes
a record for Juvenile travel unes-
corted. The child was placed on
shipboard by relatives and from that
time has never seen any one with
whom she was even acquainted be-
fore. BY her brave effort to keep
back the tears when the big ship
slipped away from the dock at Chris
tiana, she Immediately gained
friends.
She became a favorite on ship
board and was well cared for dur
ing the voyage. At New York the
authorities telegraphed Mr.. Osten-
sen that the little girl had arrived
and he sent transportation for her.
Little Margot was taken to Chi.
cago by woman who had made the
trip across the ocean with her There
the little girl was turned voer to
another woman who was travelling
through Sioux City. She gave the
little girl to Mr.. Ostensen, her new
papa whom she had never seer
before.
The little girl is unable to speak
English.
Mr.. Ostensen is bachelor and |:
employed by Zimmerman Brother:
in the finishing department of theil
camera store. He was highly pleas
ed that he has family" and boasts
that she is the best little girl in eth
er this country or Norway. He hal

GIRL S. DEAD
BODY FOUND
ABOUT TO BECOME A MOTHER
MISSING FOUR WEEKS.

Hoopeston, Ills, April 2S.-Ger-
trude Hanna, young choir girl,
whose body was found in the par
sonage basement of the United Pres
byterian church here was smothered
to death or chloroformed, officials
believed today. The girl who was
soon to become mother was killed
at some distance from the parson-
afe, officials were convinced, and
her body hidden in the gloomy, wet
basement OF the unoccupied home.
Examination failed to disclose any
traces OF poison. There were no
bruises on the body. Four promin-
ent young men in Hoopeston were
questioned today. The finding of
her body by carpenters who were
preparing the home for the coming
of a new minister follows her disap-
pearance by exactly four weeks. She
left home on rainy night, March
81. She wore exactly the same
clothing as when she disappeared.
The body was well preserved.
