 Gray, Faded Hair With Sage Tea.
 Grandmother kept her hair beauti- fully darkened, glossy and attractive with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. By asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sul- phur Compound" you will get large bottle of this old-time recipe, inn proved by the addition of other in- gredients, all ready 10 use. at very little cost. This simple mixture can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair
 Well known druggists say every body 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 70 easy to use, too. You simply dampen a comb or soft brush and draw it through your hair, taking one strand at time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two, it is restored to its natural color and looks glossy, soft and beau- tiful.

 When he returned the table was in it's former place, but the cover had been removed. He carefully ex- amined the floor beneath it. and real pressing the trap from above. Then at an hour which he judged to be that Of noon. the same voice ad dressed him from beyond the gilded screen.
 "Mr. Paul Harley?"
 "Yes, what have you to say?"
 By this time, MT. Harley, you must have recognized that opposition is futile. At any moment we could visit death upon you. Escape, on the other hand, is out Of the question. We desire you no harm. For diplo- matic reasons, we should prefer you to live. Our cause is sacred one. Do not misiudge by minor inci- dents. A short statement and a copy of your English testament shall be placed upon the table, if you wish"
 T do not wish" Paul Harley re- turned.
 ''Is that your last word. Mr. Har- ley? We warn you that the third time of asking will be the last time"
 This is my last word"
 Your own life is not the only stake at issue"
 What do you mean?"
 You will learn what We mean, if you insist upon withholding your consent until we next invite it."
 Nevertheless, you may regard it as withheld, definitely and finally"
 Silence fell, and Paul Harley know himself tobe once more alone. Luncheon appeared upon the table whilst he was washing in the bath. room. Remembering the' change in the tone Of the unseen speakers voice. he avoided touching anything

 Paul Harley gave no sign 4that he had made this discovery. But al ready his keen wits were at work upon plan. He watched the bar Of light fading, fading, until, judging 1t to be dinner time. he retired dis. creetly.
 When he returned, he found din. ner spread upon tho table.
 He spent the night in the little cell-like bedchamber. and his second day Of eapti,ity began as the first had begun.
 For his dinner he had eaten noth- ing but bread and fruit. For his breakfast, he ate an egg and drank water from the tap in the bathroom. His plan was now nearing comple. ton. Only one point remained doubtful.

 Many thanks" murmured Harley. ''on behalf of Great Britain I accept the compliment"
 We have such faith m the com pleteness of our plans, and in the nearness of the hour of triumph, that if you will pledge yourself to silence, in writing, you will not be molested in any way"
 "It is impossible" said Harley, tersely.
 Think we'll Of the matter. It may not seem so impossible tomorrow"
 Paul Harley offered no further an- swer to the speaker concealed behind the violet curtain.
 Do not misunderstood us" the voice continued. We bind you to nothing but silence"
 "1 refuse" said Harley sharply. "Dismiss the matter"
 Tn spite Of your refusal, time for consideration will be giuen to you"
 Faintly Paul Harley detected the sounds made by OrmuZ Khan and his secretary in withdrawing. The light beneath the curtain disappeared.
 For perhaps space Of two hours Paul Harley sat smoking and cons templating the situation from every conceivable angle.
 Night attire was provided in the sleeping chamber. but he did not avail himself of this hospitality. Abso- lute silence reigned about him. Yet so immutable are Natures laws, that presently Paul Harley sank back upon the mattresses, and fell asleep.
 He awoke, acutcly uncomfortable and il-rested. He found shaft Of light streaming into the room. and casting shadows on the iron bars tpon the opposite wall. The brass lantern still burned above him, and the silence remained complete as when he had fallen asleep. He stood up yawning and stretching him. self.
 He undrcssed and reyeled in the joy Of hot oath, concluding with a cold plunge. A razod and excellent toilet requisites were set upon the dressing table, and whilst his imagi- HdtlDn WnlsptIfu that tbf soap miEHt bc poisoned and the razor possess a septic blade. hc shaved. and having shaved, lighted his pipe and redressed himself at leisure.
 He had nearly completed his toilet when q slight sound in the outer room arrested his attention. He turned sharply, stepping through the doorway.

 He resumed his pipe and smiled philosophically. He had hoped to see the table disappear beneath the floor. As evidence that he was con- stantiy watched, this had occurred during q brief visit which he had made to the bedroom in quest Of

 The brave man does so," the Hindu continued, smoothly. The world only seems to grow older; its youth is really eternal, but as age succeeds age, new creeds must take the place of the old ones which are burned out.'
 Harley nodded grimly, watching a ring of smoke floating slowly upward.
 Tt is little thing to those who know the truth" the speaker re- stunned. ITO the purblind laws of the West it may seem a great thing. We seek in Rome to do as Rome does.

 He noted that its lower fringe did not quite touch the floor. By stoop- ing down, he could see q few feet to some room beyond. It was in darkness, however, and beckoned the fact that it was carpeted with a rich Persian rug, he learned but little from his scrutiny. The gilded screen was solid and immovable.
 Nodding his head grimly, Harley felt in his pocketsfor pipe and pouch, wondering if these. too, had been taken away from him. They had not, however, and the first nausea Of his awakening having passed, he filled and lighted his briar and dropped down upon the divan to con sider his position.
 That he had walked blindly into q trap prepared for him by that mys- terious personality known as Fire Tongue, he no longer could doubt.
 Upon these bitter reflections slight sound intruded, the first which had disturbed the stiffness about him since the moment of his awakening.
 Someone had entered the room be- yond the gilded screen, and now a faint light showed beneath the fringe of the curtain, Paul Harley sat quite still, smoking and watching.
 Suddenly he perceived a pair of glossy black boots. There wearer was evidently standing quite near the screen, possibly listening. Harley had an idea that some second person stood immediately behind the first. Of this idea he presently had con firmation.
 \ voice uttered his name:
 Mir. Paul Harley"
 He could not be sure, but he thought it was the voice Of Ormuz khan's secretary. He drew his pipe from between his teeth, and:
 "Yes, what do you want with me?" he asked.
 Your attention. Mir Harley, for a lew moments, if you feel sufficiently recovered"
 Pray proceed" said Herley.
 or the presence Of Il second person beyond the screen he was now as- surcd, for he had detected the sound of whispered instructions. and sinking lower and lower upon the divan, he peered surreptitiously under the bor- der of the curtain, believing it 10 be more than probable that his move ments were watched.
 This led to q notable discovery. X pair of gray suede shoes became yis- ible few inches behind the glossy black boots--curiously small heels The identity of their wearcr was bee yond dispute to the man who had measurer that delicate foot
