Merriwell, and the other Dead-Shot
Dick. The boy who resembled Frank
Merriwell was Raymond Simms. The
other, whose overalls were fringed,
who wore a cartridge belt about his
person, and carried Ratchet, revolver,
and a long knife with a deerfoot
handle, and who so studlously looked
like Dead-Shot Dick, was u old
friend of the road gang, Newton Bron-
son. Newton put down his load, and
sat upon a stump to rest.
Raymond Simms was dimly CON
scious of a change in Newton since
the day when they met and helped Sc
lect Colonel Woodruff's next years
seed corn. Newton's mother had a
mothers confidence that Newton was
now a good boy, who had been led
astray by other boys, but had re-
formed. Jim Irwin had a distinct
feeling of optimism. Newton had
quit tobacco and beer, casually stat
ing to Jim that he was "in training"
Since Jim had shown his ability to ad-
minister a knockout to that angry
chauffeur, he seemed to this hobble-
dehOy peculiarly a proper person for
athletic condolences.
Newton's mind seemed gradually
filling up with new interests. Jim at
tributed much of this to the clear
mountain atmosphere which surround
ed Raymond Simms, the ignorant bar
harlan driven out of his native hills
by a feud. Raymond was of the open
spaces, and refused to hear fetid
things that seemed out Of place in
them.
AS the reason for Newton's improve
ment in manner of living, Raymond,
out of his W experience, would have
had no hesitation in naming the
school and the schoolmaster.
81 wouldn't go back on a friend"
said Newton, seated on the stump
with his traps on the ground at his
feet, the way you're going back on

They're the original blood Of the

There came into Jim's eyes the

more plainly wherein his Queerness
lay.

"Ain't that the trouble with our edu-

Gray, Faded Hair With
Sage Tea.

Grandmother kept her hair beau
tifully darkened, glossy and attrac-
tive with brew of Sage Tea and
Sulphur. 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 "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound" you will get
a large bottle of this eld-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 patural
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 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.

Immediately!-your hair becomes
beautiful. Just moisten cloth with
Danderine and draw it carefully
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; this will cleanse the
hair OF dust, dirt or any excessive oil

amazed. Your hair will be wavy, fluff
fy and possess an incompatible soft
ness, lustre and really appear twice as
thick and abundant--a mass of lux
uriant, glinty, colorful hair.
Besides beautifying the hair, DAN

strengthens them. Its stimulating
properties help the hair to grow long,
heavy, strong.
You can surely have beautiful hair.
