"Ladys" back, where Junior and Marion joyously have learned to ride, was perched Mollie Fawcett, and I was aware of a jealous little joy that Dickie was not present to see the exquisite picture she made. as in Marion's knickerbockers, Katherlnes shoes and stockings, and my sweater, she bestrode the horse.
 Junior. with Marion holding 10 his hand, trudged manfully by the side of the horse, looking adoringIy up at her.
 Jerry Ticer also had his neck craned at an uncomfortable angle in the same time.
 But the figure at which l looked longest was that of Jim, Katie's stolid, dependable Jim, who cutched "Lady's" saddle with hands that were eloquent eC his determination to keep it steady at any cost, and stumbled along with his eye fixed upon the beautiful vision above him.
 You see" Katherine Gurgled. "The entire masculine population. That's what it is 10 be in your teens, beautiful, and with come hither' look in your eye. suppose if Jack and Dicky were here."-she paused, started quickly again--"they--"
 She did not catch herself quite quickly enough. It was not her merry naming of Jack and Dicky, but the startled second when she feared to hurt me. l interrupted her frantic resumption of her sen- tenCe.
 Would be attrcd in cowboy chaps and riding gaiS along at her side" I said with as good an imi- l tation of a carefree laugh as could manage. But who could blame them, any more than one could poor old Jim, and moon- struck Jerry Ticor? Could you?"
 Mary a blame" Katherine as sented. "She is the prettiest thing! Besides, I'll wager you remember as well as l, occasions in our teens when staid married men enjoyed . little harmless conversation witF us"
 Her beautiful brown eyes were twinkling with amused renaissance and with little shameAced assent, ing flush. I Joined in her laugh
 T. don't believe Katie's memories of her girlhood are consoling hel any at this time" I said dryly sec ond later, as l saw my little maid come flying toward the barn.

I'm ashamed to say it has eays irked me, that I have .lcvo, hcel as free with Leslie since. never can help thinking when I am wi,h her that I owe perhaps all my success III life to her. and I don't want to do so. I want to be independent of cverY- body.
 q think one can see from what you have read me from Mrs, HamiI- toms letter, that the one thing which gives him most pride in you is the fact that you have never asked him for help, and l think he will have more regard and respect for. you if you even refuse this fine offer.
 Your books show at the present moment that you're getting along fine, and l see no reason why next year you could not go in business for yourself"
 I tell you, syd, that girl has got a lot of common sense. 1 don't know why it is, but I can take her advice much better than I can Leslie's, who by the way, has often told me about the same thing. Isn't it strange that a man will talk over his business problems oftener with another woman than he does with his wife And he certainly will take her ad- vice quicker Perhaps it is because he thinks she is disinterested in him or perhaps it IS because he is fiat, tered by her interest in him.
 expect after this letter from Mrs. Hamilton I'll have 10 go ovel and see the Hamiltons.

 Frequently they come from ade- noids> in youth. Such conditions not only predispose to colds, but open the possibility of infection of the bone cavities.
 For this reason they should be attended to at the earliest possible moment.
 All who suffer from recurrent colds should take the precaution of having nasal troubles attended to before the winter sets in.

Expedition Now Seeking Ter.
 tiary Skeletons in Oregon

Portland, Ore, Sept. S.-Further light on the geological history of the western part of the continent, as revealed in fossils Of prehistoric animals, is expected to be obtained by an expedition of scientists, head ed by Professor Chester Stock of the University of California depart ment of paleontology, which set out from here recently to carry on in- vestigations in the John Day Val ley in eastern Oregon.
 The explorations are the result of the interest of Dr. John C. Merriam of the Carnegie Institute, who some years ago explored the region fol- lowing discoveries by Dr. Thomas Condon, famous Oregon geologist.
 Professor Stock was accompanied by E. J. Furlong, curator of the Uni- versity of California museum, and by three students of geology. They expected to be joined later by R. W. Cheney of the Carnegie institute, who intended to study plant fossils. The United States Geological Sur vey also is interested in the ven- ture.
 Fossiized skeletons of animals of the Tertiary period will be sought in the John Day Valley, which geologists declare was once the bed of vast inland sea covering eastern Oregon, Nevada and extending to southern California.
 Discoveries heretofore made fin the region have yielded fossilized re- mains of a wide variety of animals, including prehistoric horses, cam els, rhinoceroses and sabre-toothed tigers. Professor Stock hopes that further excavations will yield data whereby it will be possible to corre- late the different animal zones and possibly establish the sequence in the forms of animal life which ex- Lsted In American ages before hu- man habitation.

Letter from John Alden Prescott to
 Sydney Carton.

Sydney Carton.
 I'm enclosing you a letter from my mother-in-l old chap-not for publication, but as an earnest Of my good faith. Besides, l want you to understand perfectly how well l stand with my in-laws.
 It really seems to me as though everybody is conspiring to make lit tic Jack a rich man. With MT. Ham, ition making him a legatee and Paula Perier dividing her salary with him, and of course Leslie want ing to give him everything that ] will have to leave, it looks to me as If that boy had certainly been born with a silver spoon in his mouth, al- though his mother nearly starved 10 death before his coming.
 Before you make any suggestions about my going over to take on the Hamilton business, l want to tell you that I|shall not do it. It might be a great opening for me, but l know nothing about steel, and do know the advertising business and l know I shall make a great deal of money in 1t, It can be did, and I'm the guy that can do it if necessary.
 I guess you called the turn on Les Hes sister. I've hunted all over the house for that anonymous letter, but can't find it. remember the day ] was quarreling with Leslie over 1t l had 1t in my hands, but l don't re- member it since. I suppose she found 1t and has hidden 1: away From me.
 I read that part of hte letter in which Mrs Hamilton speaks aecut my going into the firm 70 Mrs. Ath- erton. When I finished, she. said quickly:
 "You're not going to do it, are you, Mir. Prescott"
 T thought you would advise me b." I remarked.
 "I wouldn't advise any person to step into an easy job." she said. "li Mir. Hamilton retired and left you al the head of the business, he stii would have a feeling that you should come to him for advice and suSges' ttons. He is a very wonderful man MT.

How Madge Was "Let in On" the
 Cause of katie's Moroseness


 Wondering what jest Katherine was concealing, but convinced that 1t had something to do with Mollie Fawcett's exploration of the farm, l followed her down the kitchen, where found Katie standing by the window, gazing toward the barn, with all the signs of an incipient tantrum lowering about her.
 Have you something for me to eat, Katie?" I asked pleasantly. q Am almost starved"
 Katie wheeled and looked at me darkly. There was no sign in her face of the beaming aIacrity with which she usually greets any re- quest of mine for food. My little maid is a wonderful cook, and there C nothing she usually likes better than an appreciation of her skill. But patently there was room for nothing in her mind but gloom, deep and deadly.
 "vot you vant?" she countered shortly.
 "oh, anything you have handy" l temporized. You must have something left from lunch"
 "Dere not mooch," she sniffed. Dot bonch of soup greens in mems pants and dose children eat most stery ting cop on me. But l feeX you something, eef I don't so and poonch somebody's face off her shoulders first"
 What Madge Saw.
 The alternative was couched in a much lowered tone, and it was uttered after I had turned away from her, for with knowledge of Katte's tantrums. I hastily had abandoned valor, chosen discretion for a steed and cantered off. l pretended not to hear 1t, until with Katherine at my heels, had reach cd the dining room with the door closed upon my temperamental lit tie maid. Then I turned to find Katherine, helpless with laughter leaning against the wall.
 ''What in the world?" began.
 "Come out doors," she gurgled 'and I'll show you. It's the fun niest thing, ut,"-with a soberinE note--"I suppose it ISN'T particu larly funny to Katie"
 followed her out of the sid' Teranda door, noting that she care fully made a detour, so that WI were out of sight of the kitchen un til we reached the barn.

 They were resting again when a stirred them both to alertness. It was not far distant, and Sally held her breath as she clung to the Wreck's fingers. Several times the noise was repeated; it was as If some heavy body were forcing it's way through the brush,
 Maybe it's one of the gang" she whispered.
 Maybe. Do they have bears here?"
 Not many, I reckon. l never saw one"

 They heard the noise again.
 I'm going" said the Wreck. Sit still"
 Henry"
 He was gone, trying to be stealthy about 1t, but making a din as he plunged forward into the gloom. Sally gritted her teeth and followed him. What was he blundering into now?
 She was several yards behind him when she heard scuffle, then a muffled exclamation from the Wreck. Something was plunging around in the brush ahead of her.
 Henry" she called sharply. Henry"
 Then his excited voice foated back to her.
 "Tve got hold of a horse" he cried. What shall I do with it?'
 "A horse"
 "Yes, a horsc."
 Hang onto it; I'm coming"
 She went forward at 8 run, tripped, fell headIong, picked her self up and resumed.

TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA
~ Mixed with Sulphur II Darkens
SO Naturally Nobody
Can Tell

The old-time mixture OF Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray.
streaked and faded hair is grandr til
er's recipe, and folks are again using j;
to keep their hair a good, even color,
which is quite sensible, as Ns as liv-
ing in an age when a youthful appear
ance is of the greatest advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have the
troublesome task of gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing at home. All
drug stores sell the ready-to-use prod
uct, improved by the addition of other
ingredients, called "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" 1t is very popu-
lar because nobody can discover it has
been applied. Simply moisten your
comb or a soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, but what delights the
ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compouns, is that, besides beautifully
darkeniug the hair after a few applica-
tions, il also produces that soft lustre
and appearance of abundance which IS
so attractive.
