it was said in the tone that an ex-

VERY WELL" replied Celia.
At the grind of the shears through
the first braid fancy came to her.
NJ. Louis was q male Atripos. His
shears were severing not only her hair
but her past from her. The first
braid represented her childhood.
Let me see it"' she cried excitedly.
He laid 1t sadly and solemnly across
her knees, as though II were a dead
baby
"Ah, madame. C'est a pleurer!
1t is to cry he murmured.
Then he cut off the second one.
There goes my girlhood," she told
herself exultantly.
"C'est fait." said M. Louis with
dramatic flourish of the shears, let

To Celia, who had been glancing at
herself in the mirror from time to
time during the operation called by
NJ. Louis a crime, there was no great
change visible, for he had brushed
back her hair before plating it. But
as she moved her head it felt deli.
ciously light, and when she thrust her
fingers into the shortened mass and
rumpled it delightedly the metamor.
phosis of her appearance became
plain.
Her hair, like all very pale gold
hair, was an ashen blonde near her
head, and the coiffeur's shears had
left her with a thick crown of light
fawn color, which In its now too

she replied.
"Alors, will madame be so amiable

She opened a door, disclosing a
small. pretty room with Louis XVI
dressing table. its mirror framed in
flowers of Sake, a powder chair of the
same period, and all the implements
of the coiffeur's profession ready to
hand.
In a few moments NJ. Louis entered,
grave, slight, rather pale. His small,
pointed beard made him look more
like an artist than a colffeur. Had
any one suggested this to him he
would have replied still grave, that he
hoped he was both.

black hat.
The young F'renchman was so

Madame was quite serious. She ex

But she controlled herself. Their

Taking from a. drawer a pair o

RHEUMATISM AND
NEURITIS GIVEN
AMAZING RELIEF

Every one who has suffered with
rheumatism or neuritiS knows
what real pain is. And when they
get relief from pain they want to
give the benefit of thei- experience
to other sufferers.
Here is a letter from man in
Wilkes Barre, Pa, who tiled llu-
merous remedies without. elief and
then got genuine help from a sim-
pie home treatment.
"I had neuritis in my arm and
shoulder, and the treatments /
took did me no good. A friend told
me to try Sloan's LiniInent, and in
less than 10 applications my aff1ic7
ton was gone"
What is the magic of this amaz.
ingly effective remedy? Sloan'S
sends an increased supply of heal
ing, m-destroying blood right to
the spot that hurts. That's what
conquers the pain. No need to rub.
Sloans does the whole job. Just
pat it on. Quickly and surely it
kills pain, reduces swelling and
inflammation, drives out stiffness
and pain. Get a bottle today and
have it on hand. All druggists

SILENCE HANGS
OVER RELATIONS

American Note Attracting At

WASHINGTON. Nov. 13. The
policy of silence concerning our
Mexican relations is accentuated by
the significance that our last note
to Mexico was sent week ago but
the State Department had not ad-
mitted that a note had gone at all,
and by the presence of Ambassador
James r. Sheffield as a guest at the
White House.
The fact that an important note
has been sent from Washington to
Mexico is known. for news of it
comes both from Europe and from
Mexico City, and there is now no de-
NAL of it from the State Department
here, though no intimation of its
contents is forthcoming.
However European reports that
the note embraced an ultimatum
concerning oil and land laws, ap-
peared exaggerated. Ambassador
Sheffield was closeted with Secre-
tary of State Frank B. Kellogg yes
