WAY MAINTENANCE
 EMPLOYES TO ACT
Canvass Of Strike Vote by 100000 Involved Holds Interest Today

Chicago, July 3. - (By Associated Press)-Railway strike interest which centered over the week k-end on the walkout Saturday of shopmen whose union holds in it's ranks 100000 men, today turned to developments depend ent upon the canvass at Detroit to- day of the strike vote of 400 o00 maintenance of way employees and ac- tion by their union officials.
 Two days of the strike of shop craftsmen has failed. according to re- ports, to interfere seriously with transportation or to produce definite statement of the number of men out.
 Edward F. Grable, president of the maintenance of way employees, who returned to Detroit after conferences here with officials of other unions to- day apparently held the key to the strike situation and upon him hopes for averting further walkouts largely were banked.
 Claims on the completeness and eff fectiveness of the shopmens strike differed according to the sources. Union officials asserted that the walk out was virtually 100 per cent and would seriously hamper railroad op- erations. Railway executives tenta- lively fixed 90 per cent as the maxi mum number out.
 In some rail centers. plans were in preparation for replacing strikers with workers under open shop ar engagements. The New York Central ro i1rnoI inc Ia oI rfi o in Chicago newspapers.
 Passenger traffic since the strike began is reported by the roads to have been exceptionally heavy owing to pre- holiday travel.
 The U. s. Railroad Labor Board marked time pending further devel- opments.

ing or not; man who reckons nothing of the misery he scatters on his self-indulgent way. Ponder 1t, Climene, and ask yourself If do you less than honor in warning you"
 He went out on that, feeling a de- gradation in continuing the subject.
 On Tuesday of the following week, Andre-Louis ran into a slightly built, sallow-complexioned gentleman very neatly dressed in black.
 "Moreau. Where the devil have you been hiding yourhelf these months?"
 It was Le Chapelier, the lawyer, the leader of the Literary Chamber of Rennes. Without halting for reply, he continued: You are the man we have been seeking everywhere, and behold!-you drop from the skies into my path"
 They crossed the square and entered the cafe.
 T suppose you haven't heard of the royal order for the convocation of the States General, or the terms of them-that we are to have what we demanded, what you demanded for us here in Nantes! You haven't heard of the fresh uproar in Rennes, last month. The order was that the three estates should sit together at the States General but in Rennes the nobles took up arms. headed by your old friend, M. de La Tour d'Azyr, and they were for slashing us-the members of the Third Estate-into ribbons so as to put an end to our in solence." He laughed delicately. But, by God. we showed them that we, too, could take up arms. We fought them pitched battle in the streets. and so peppered them that they were glad to take shelter in the Cordelier Convent"
 It is odd" said Andre-Louis, that I should never perceive that Nantes is being politically active"
 That night at the theater he had impulse to test what Le Chapelier had told. him of the state of public feeling in the city. They were playing The Terrible Captain" in the last act of which the empty of the bullying braggart Rhodoment is revealed by Scara- mouche.
 After the laughter which the ex- posture of the roaring captain in produced, it remained for contemporary to dis miss him in a phrase that varied nightly This time he chose to give his phrase a political complexion.
 Thus, o coward. is your emptiness exposed. Because of your long length and your great sword people have imagined you to be as terrible and as formidable as you insolently make yourself appear. But at the first touch of true spirit. you crumple LID. YOU trembe, you whine pitifully |

 Matter ?' She suppressed her fury to ask another question. You say that this M. de Kercadiou is popularly believed to be your father. What, precisely. do you mean?"
 "Just that. It is belief that do not share It is matter of instinct, perhaps, with me. Moreover. once I asked M. De Kercadiou point blank, and I received from him denial"
 Aud your mother, was she equally ignorant?'' She was sneering but he did not remark it. Her back was to the light.
 He would not disclose her name to me He confessed her to be dear friend of his."
 She startled him by laughing, ana heElaugh was not pleasant
 "A very dear friend, you may be sure, you simpleton. What name do you bear?"
 He restrained his own rising indig- nation to answer her question calmly: "Mureau. It was given me, so l am told, from the Brittany village in which I was born. Tn fact, I have no name, unless it be Scaramouche, to which I have earned a title. So that you see, my dear" he ended with a smile, T have practiced no decep- ton whatever"

laughed without mirth. then drew q deep breath and rose. "I am very tired" she said.
 She moved towards the door, drag ging her feet little. He sprang to open 1t. and she passed out without looking at him.
 On the morrow Andre Louis found his mind distracted by the thoughts Of both Climene and Aline. It was Aline who provided the deeper per turbation. Climene's attitude he re- garded as passing phase. But the thought of Aline's conduct toward him kept ranking. and still more deeply rankled the thought of her possible betrothal to M. de La Tour d'Azyr.
 This it was that brought to his mind the self-imposed but by now half-forgotten mission that he had made his own. He had boasted that he would make the voice which M. de La Tour d'Azyr had sought to silence ring through the length and breadth of the land. What a fine contrast between the promise and the full fillment!
 It happened that the first person he saw when he took the stage on that Thursday evening was Alihe: the second was the Marquis La Tour d'Azyr. They occupied box on the right, of and immediately above, the stage.
 That was the evenings first shock. The next came after the second act. the green-room he found at the far end with Climene, over whom he was bending from his fine height. his eyes intent upon her face M. de La Tour d'Azyr.
 That night there were high works between Andre-Louis and Climene, the high words proceeding from Climene. When Andre-Louis again enjoined prudence upon his betrothed she shocked and stunned him by her viru- lently shrewdish tone, and her still more unexpected force of invective.
 "I'll not tolerate your insensate jealousy. A girl in the theater must make it her business to accept hom- age from all"

 Gray, Faded Hair With Sage Tea.
 Grandmother kept her hair beau tifully darkened, glossy and attrac- tive with a brew of Sage Tea and Sul- rhur. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appear ance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. By asking at any drug store for "Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will get a large bottle of this old-time recipe, improved by the addition of other in- gredients, all ready to use. at very lit- tie cost. This simple mixture can be depended upon to restore natural col- or and beauty to the hair.
 A well-known downtown druggist says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound now because it dsrkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied It's so easy to use. too. You simply dampen a comb or soft brush and draw 1t through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two. it is restored to its natural color and looks glossy soft and beautiful
