Fair-haired she was, though Barry

and vigor that is typical of those

out the window, watching with evil

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this sim
pie, mixture was applied with wonder
full effect. By asking at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" you will get a large bot
tie of this old-time recipe, improved
by the addition of other ingredients. all
ready to use, at very little cost This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty to
the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens 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 it through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears; after another
application or two, it is restored to it's
natural color and looks glossy soft
and beautiful Y This preparation is
delightful toilet requisite. 1t is not in

An hour-and three more after
that-a last final. gathering journey
and Barry leaped from the seat with
something akin to enthusiasm.
Through the swiriing snow which
sifted past the glare of his head
lights, he could discern a sign which
told him he had reached the summit,
that he now stood at the literal top
of the world
| From now on he could progress
with the knowledge that his engine

the dangers, Barry knew that they
had only begun. The descent would
be as steep as the climb he had just
made
Again he started, the brake bands
squeaking and protesting, the ma
chine sloughing dangerously as now
and again its sheer weight forced
it forward at dangerous speeds,
He grasped desperately for the
emergency brake. For fxe minutes
there had come the strong odor of
burning rubber; the foot-brake lin
ings were gone; everything depended
upon the emergency now! AMI al

Careening, the car seemed to leap

through the first hill. Barry Hous-
ton was now a prisoner of speed
cramped in the seat of a runaway
car, clutching tight at the wheel,
leaning, white, tense-faced out into
the snow, as he struggled to nego-
tiate the turns, to hold the great
piece of runaway machinery to the
road and check its speed from time
to time in the snowbanks.
One chance was left, and Barry

in lieu of a brake. If the buried
gears could only hold the car for a

But a sudden, swapping crackle
ended his hope. The gears had
meshed, and meshing, had broken.
Again a wild, careening thing, the
car was speeding down the steepest
of grades like a human thing de-
termined upon self-destruction.

A long, sleek, yellow racer came
to a stop beside the gas tank and

A thrill shot through Barry Hous-

smooth spaces, of the easy ascent of |
well paved grades, of streets and !
comforts and of luxuries. The very
raggedness of the thing before him
lured him and drew him on.

For it had been Fred Thayer who
had caused Barry to travel across
country in his yellow speedster
Thayer who
"He say the M'sieu Houston, who
own the mill, had written him he

In the other room, Barry Houston
blinked rapidly and frowned. He
had written Thayer nothing of the

The names of two persons flashed

Immediately, the other

suspicion and distrust.

Within the bedroom, Barry Hous-

sudden resolve, he rested his head
again on the pillow and closed his
eyes. Barry could feel that the man
was bending over him, studying him.
There came a murmur.
