They talked a while, and then the
other nurse said: If you were a little
younger, dearie, and hadn't been
here for years, I'd try and get the
hundred thousand dollars reward for
that missing Hope Ranger. You're
almost a dead ringer for her.
Then it all flashed over me, what
they were doing; why I, Hope Ran
ger, was in this place"
The sheets of the letter shook in
Kelsey's hands.
After l heard these women talk
ing, and understood what it meant,
L nearly went mad, trying to think
what to do. / had already tried to
bride Copley, but she is in love with
Bristow and absolutely ruled by him.
So l just sat thinking; plans, plans
seething through my brain"
Il know all about that" muttered
Kelsey, as he paused to turn the
page. Then he quickly resumed:-
Il was SO furious, SO despairing,
so bent OF finding some way out,
that | wouldn't even look at those
two, the only persons l saw. l
wouldn't speak to them, or notice
them in any way. They couldn't un-
derstand the reason for the change
in me, and were surprised. 1 saw
them exchanging glances. And then
it came to me, | don't know how,
that if l pretended to be silly and
not remember anything, they might
let me out of that room and GO about
as l saw the others doing from my
window.
Il worked up another scene with
Copley, when l knew the doctor was
away. l fought to get out the door,
and when she gave me the drug to
quiet me, l accused her of having
given me an overdose in her excite
ment. She denied it, but was
bothered. Then l pretended to lie
in a stupor for almost an entire day.
When l came to, | acted as if | were
stupid, as If | were some one else. l
said 1 vas a writer and asked for
pencils and paper, and wrote pages
of nonsense.
Il heard Bristow talking to Copley.
'Shamming,' he said at first, but she
was convinced by this time that she
had given me an overdose and final
ly got him to thinking So too. L
heard him explaining to her about
shock and something about a con-
genitally weak BRAIN She was upset
about it all, but he told her, Better
so, if it's true
HE put me through all kinds of
tests-surprises, everything. 1t was
dreadful, but my nerves are strong,
and / was fighting for my life. He
talked to me about my parents, my
home. 1 was indifferent. Then he
got to trying to make me remember
things that aren't true. He told me
my name was Verna Copley, and l
repeated it after them like a parrot.
l have only forgotten my pose with
them once. That was when Copley
tried a hat or me and / caught a
glimpse Of myself and burst out
laughing. But it was so g%rotesque
that even an imbecile would have
laughed.
II have been afraid to make N.Y.
self known to any one. To say that /
am Hope Ranger would only con-
vince most people that / am the
lunatic l appear. But | am Hope
Ranger, | am. And l know that you
will believe me, just as l believed
you"

COMB SAGE TEA
INTO GRAY HAIR
Darkens Beautifully and Restores
Its Natural Color and
Lustre At Once

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, Streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and lux
uriant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui
phur recipe at home, though, is trouble
some. An easier way is to get the
ready-to-use preparation improved by
the addition of other ingredients a
large bottle, at little cost, at drug stores,
known as 'Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" thus avoiding lot of
-luss.
While gray, faded hair is not sinful,
we all desire to retain our youthful ap-
pearance and attractiveness. By dark
ening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, be-
cause it does it so naturally, so evenly.
You just dampen sponge or soft
brush with il and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning all gray hairs have
disappeared. After another application
or two your hair becomes beautifully
dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant and you
appear years younger.

Downfall of Rome
Is Superbly Pictured
Cecil B. DeMille Presents Historic
Scene in "Manslaughter."


There were no photographers to re-
cord the dress and customs of the day
when the barbarians overthrow an
Gent Rome. Nevertheless, Cecil B.
DeMille has produced an historically
faithful reproduction OF this for his
latest Paramount picture 'manslaugh-
ter" coming to the Palace theater
Thursday and Friday, May 3rd and
4th.
The episode in question is histori-
cal cutback, which wildly depicts the
descent OF the barbarian hordes upon
Rome. Weeks of research work on
the part of the director, scenarist and
art director proceeded the filming OF
the scenes.
Leatrice Joy, who is one OF the
principals of the modern portion OF
the story, is the hostess at lavish
w beautiful Roman bacchanal which
is interrupted by Thomas Melghan
in the role of the leader of the Goths
Lois Wilson, John Miltern and Cas-
son Ferguson are the other members
of the notable cast who appear in this
sequence.
A striking1y realistic gladiatorial
combat is one of the many interesting
features of the baccharalian entertain
ment. Although this episode required
more than a week to film and kept
nearly thousand people employed
it will occupy the screen for only q
few minutes. 1t is used to point Z
powerful lesson and serves to draw
an interesting comparison between
ancient Rome and modern America.
