CHAPTER X
Tragedy.

Tragedy.
Ann could not tell how much her
guardian surmised of her feeling for
sake that he, in the absence of anyone
in authority, took charge of his neigh
bor's house, with its sinister knot of
Grape on the silver knOcker. 1t was
he who notified the inheriting brother
in Detroit. and who made the arrange
ments for the funeral. although he
left it to her to see that the house
was ready for the services.
Only once did she venture into the
dear familiarity of the upper front
room; the blinds had been closed. and
thin gray light pervaded the spacious
white place. Densley lay as she had
seen him last, except that the eager
blue eyes, which had always followed
strange not to meet their shining re-
sponse. His hands were folded
on his breast they We're pitiably thin,
. She put out her own hand to
touch them, but shrank back from
their cold response He looked
sad, she thought, and older. Now that
he had nothing to give her he was
subtly changed He had loved her
very beautifully. she knew, but it
seemed curiously long time ago, and
she wondered as she stood, glowing,
above him, if she really loved him.
What was love, she ques-
toned piteously, her eyes fixed on that
craven face as on an oracle. She could
not tell, nor could Densley Howard
now enlighten her.
One thing, however she did know,
and that was that she must break i'm
mediately with Hendricks Renneslyer.
She went straight to her own room,
after this mute farewell, and, sitting
sternly upright before her little desk,
she wrote her letter to him.
"And so, dear Hendricks" she fin
ished, Il cannot marry you, because l
know, now, that | do not love you, and
no one could be sorrier than I am
about it."
The specter of her guardians disap-
pointment stalked in vain before her
determination she sent her letter to
the mail and would have told Mr.. Cort-
landt all about it when he came In,
had he not forestalled her with aston
ishing news Of his own.

arrival, 81 have heard from the Presi-

Mr.. Cortlandt smiled affectionately
at her. "My dear, l am flattered at

informally about 1t. :. What the
President really wants me to do Is to

British Railroad Officials Said to Have
Made Considerable Success
of the System.

Many ingenious brains have busted
themselves with the problem of con
trolling railway traffic since the pOs-
sibly mythicaD porter laid foundation
of modern signaling by attaching Il
cord to Il "semaphore" so that he could
operate it from a distance. But moth
ing is more ingenious than the system
whereby a handful of men in tele-
phone room can direct train movements
over the whole of a main line. Control
of this type is now daily feature of
British railway traffic. although not
one passenger in 10000 has ever heard
of the system. says the London Daily
Mail.
Its most perfected form is to be seen
at the new control office" at York, on
the London & Northwestern, where the
whole of the immensely heavy passen-
ger and goods traffic in the congested
area from Doncastel to Newcastle is
directed from single room.
The keystone Of the fabric Is u huge
diagram, running the length of the
room, which shows every station, sig
nal box, siding and shunting yard on
the whole main line.
Ten electrically worked endless
belts, half each for up and down
traffic, move across the face of this
diagram, and these belts operate at
different speeds in accordance with
the average movements of the various
classes Of train.
Directly a train is under way the
signal box concerned notifies the con.
troll office by telephone. describing the
train and giving the exact time of
departure.

Ann obeyed, and slipped her hand
in his, with an affectionate little pres

erably, realizing his tragic state, and
then she smiled, TO hearten him.
That's right" he murmured.
'"There's sadness enough. Ann darling.

thing in his eyes that troubled her,

said. You have given me something

She hated to leave him, lying alone

while he put his affairs in order, walt

FEW FOLKS HAVE
 GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies Are Using Recipe of Sage Tea and
 Sulphur

Hair that loses It's color and lus- ire, or when it fades, turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thou sands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so at tractive, use only this old-time rec ipe.
 Nowadays we get this famous mixture improved by the addition of other ingredients by asking at any drug store for bottle of "Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Compound" which darkens the hair Sd naturally, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied You just dampen sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking ono strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is that, besides beautifully darken- ing the hair after few applications, it also brings back the gloss and iustre and gives it an appearance of abundance.
