BE PRETTY TURN
 GRAY HAIR DARK
Try Grandmother's old I'ayorite Recipe of Sage Tea and
 Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly com pounded. brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home. which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays. by ask ing at any drug store for "Wyeth s Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will get large bottle of this famous old recipe, improved by the addition of other ingredients at a small cost
 Don't stay gray! Try it! No one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair. as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy and attrac- tive.

CHAPTER VI
Pierre Takes Steps to Preserve His
Propertv


A log fell forward and Joan lifted
her head. She had not come to an end
or lsahella's tragedy nor of her own
memories, but something other than
the falling log had startled her: n
light, crunching step upon the snow.
She looked toward the window. For
an instant the room was almost dark
and the white night peered in mt her,
It's gigantic snow-peaks pressing
against the long, horizontal window
panes, and In that instant she saw !,
face. Joan came to her feet with
pounding pulses. II had been Pierre's
face, but at the same time the face
or stranger. He had come back
five days too soon and something ter
rible had happened Surely his chanc-
ing TO see her with her book would
not make him look like that. BESIDES.
she was not wasting oil. She had
stood up. but at first she was Incapable
of moving forward. For the first time
In her life she knew the paralysis of
unreasoning fear. Then the door
opened and Pierre came in out of the
crystal night.
"What brought you back so soon?"
asked Joan.
"Too soon for you. eh?" He strobe
over to the hearth where she had lain,
took up the book. struck It with his
