Our grandmo- ther made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of wo- med and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade -of hair which is so attractive use only this old-time recipe. Nowadays we got this famous mix ture by asking at any drug store for a 50-cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage -jand Sulphur Hair Remedy," which darkens the hair fo naturally, so ev: enly, that nobody can possibly tell 1: has been applied. Besides it takes of dandruff, stops scalp itching and fali- Ing hair. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw thi: through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning thr gray hair dis&ppears. But what de lights the ladies with Wyeth's Bage and sulphur is (hat, besides besuti fully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an ap pearance of abundance.

"I want you to tell me what sort of person Mrs. Carrington 1s." She gave him a steady look, and anawered: "Tell me your reason for wanting to know. 'Please understand that Mon- tague is right. I give no Information on compulsion." "I don't know whether my reason is one that will appeal to you. I am working for love--to help the girl | love," said Scarborough simply, "Is the reason good?" "To a woman, the one excellent rea- son!" said Mona, smiling. "And | think you are clever enough to know that, or you would not have begun like this. How will ft help your love to know about Mrs. Carrington?" "Anything that leads to a solution of the mystery that surrounds Rich- mond Carrington's death will help me," sald Scarborough. "Or, at any rate, I think it will." $ "Then, why don't you ask the daugh- ter herselrr " "It would be no use." "You have quarreiled? I'm sorry; because I like you, and I like Kiss Carrington. She treated me with-a fair amount of scorn on the night when ehe rescued me from the Ring Rock, and I suppose I ought to hate her; but I'don't, because she was defending her father. Is he the theme on which you and she have querrelled; too?" "We haven't quarrelled," said Scar- h borough. "But your idyll isn't working itself out smoothly? There is a jarring note?" Nes." "Then I'll help you if T ean. Mrs. Carrington is a thorough: bad lot. I don't know her well, but I know that. Your future wife didn't make a lucky choice of parents." "Cap you give me details?" said Scarborough quietly. Mona de la Mar shot a quick glance at him. His«faca looked almost hag gard. He was suffering. She did not know how it would help him to hear what she could tell; but he said it would. So she told him what she knew. "She is a woman of the world, in the Worst sense of the word---heartless, extravagant, selfish. When I knew her, she was a"woman of. fashion, too, and probably the bitterest pill 'in al} the dose she was made to swallow two YOArs ago, was, to her, the necessity of ceasing to play that part.

"If my twenty thousand pounds were, as we suppose, converted into diamonds. and if Richmond Carring 'on was robbed of them, and perhaps lost his life in defending them, I don't think the thief will succeed in getting tway from San Miguel with them now." "Who will?" Scarborough asked quickly. "You, their owner?" "No. The woman who is advancing towards us under that pall of black smoke--Rachel Carrington." CHAPTER XIV. The Stone Jar "I think," sal@ Mrs. Carrington, "that you have been very imprudent, [ don't in the least expect to find that jar in the place in which you say you put ft What induced you to choose such a ridiculous hiding-place"" | "Father said, 'The safest place you know.' That was the fissure in the Ring-Rock," said Elsa. 3 "Absurd!" said Mrs. Carrington. "Your father was a fool 'to trust you." Elsa bit her lip and did not answer, Her mother had been in 'the island of San Miguel twenty-four hours, and a) wady Klsa had grown tired of the use- ess endeavor to defend ' the dead Against 'her sneers. A dull Tage against this handsome, grumbling wo- man was burning In her heart, and it Was only by an effort that kept back her tears. ¥ Mrs. Carrington had landed on the quay at Ponta Delgada with a grum- ble. Why was her husband not there to meet her? Ela. if the mistake: idea that the truth might be tod great & shock, had told her first that he wa ill, and had marvelled to see the an nouncement met with a shrug and ¢ sneer. When at length she did sum mon up couraxe fo say that he wa dead, Mrs. Carrington had stared a her for a moment and then had broke: into a hard laugh, saying: "Why ' didn't vou tell me that a first? Did you think 1 should faint, o scream, or canse a scene in the cus tom-house? Do you think, ¢hild, tha! Icare? I con't. He was a fool" "He waz my father," sald Kisa, "I don't sce that that fact disprove: my assertion," Mrs, Carrington hac answered. I' expect you are a fool too." "He was your Husband." "And thereby he made me the wife of & notorious criminal. Do you know that mw; portrait, OF wht wis sald to be my portrait; was published in the Police News? Yes; he was my hus band; do you think 1 have anything to thank him for in that?" Those few sentences struck the key-note, arid the motive never varied. The woman was selfish, callous, quer ulous; she thought herself illused, and was .shameless in self-revelation. Bisa had never expected sympathy from her, had looked forward with no pleasure to the day 'of her mother's arrival in Sau Miguel; but she had looked for the news of a husband's death being received with sorrow. Instead itawas received with a whine, a 'sneer, a grumble. There was not even the decency of pretence. The woman plainly did not care, and in the of her daughter -at least, did not think it worth' while to seem to care. Was it the tragedy of two years ago that had worked this change? For Elsa remembered her mother as a very different person from this. She re membered a gay, laughing woman, bandsome in a hard glittering way, al- ways faultlessly dressed; always busy in a whirl of social duties, sometimes fittully indulgent to her daughter, pet ting her when the whim took her; bu! more often letting whole weeks pass without a word of téndernéss, hardly with a glance of notice. The tender ness, what of it: there had been, th, more than 'a ten- @ never held a place in her mother's heart. Carring- ton's busy, pleasure-hunting life thers had been no room for affection; the glitter of her social success was a hard glitter, out of keeping with the softer feelings of a' mother, and likely to be dulled by and dangerous indulgence in GIRLS !- DON'T WASH HAIR WITH SOrP Soap dries your scalp, causing dan- druff, then hair falls out--"Try this next time.

Not, indeed, that she ever felt any temptation so to indulge; her HTent. pain ea passion that i 3 ) NY at filled it was the ambition of social success. She worked with single minded purpose to win her place in the whirl; and when she Jost that place, she lost all. There was tragedy in this, and those lines of discontent about her mouth had their pathos; for the punishment of folly is tragic, and the sufferings of the wholly worthless are no less poignant because they are deserved. But the generous heart of youth can- not know this. 'In witnessing a sor- [Yow that is wholly centred in self, it notes and condemns the selfishness, and, fh its horror of that, is apt to overlook 'the sorrow. Elsa did not sympathize with her mother, but she thought she understood her, and she knew that she despised her. And after a few hours of her company she came very néar to hating her, But' as yet her anger had not blazed out into open defiance, her father's letter had bidden her be gutded by her mother, and so long as it was possible, she wopld obey: but she had an in- stinetive feeling that soon it would nof' be possible. Mrs. Carrington had demanded to be taken to the Ring-Rock at once, in order that she might get into , her hands as soon as possible the packet which Bisa had hidden there. Kisa would have liked to have belleved that this eagerness was romped by anx fety to read the e dence which her husband had got togethér to prove lis Innocence; but she knew that it was not so. Her mother plainly expected to find something more than mere documents; and Elsa, thinking again of the story of the diamonds, dared not ask the question which rose to her lips. But when she saw the gleam of gread in her mother's eyes, her faith died; the faith in her father--for which she had fought, against evidence, against her own judgment, even against her own love-- was killed in the end by her mother. Rachel Carring- ton did not know that. Had she known It, she would have laughed' per- haps even pitied, in a sneering scorn, ba girl who could be such a credulous fool; but assuredly she would not have cared. As Elsa's boat brought them nearer to the Ring-Rock, the girl's heart sank. She had looked forward to put- ting that packet into her mother's hands, in the belief that she would be taking the first step in the prom ised vindication; but she realized now in the last few hours that hope was dead. Mrs. Carrington, on the other hand grew more éager every moment, and by a somewhat natural mental process, more ready to discount-as possible dis- appointment by blaming Elsa for what she had done. "I tell you that I don't expect that jar will be there," ghe repeated. "The place has been like a dockyard for the last week. Do you suppose that the people who refloated that schooner won't have explored every inch?" "1 don't see why they should." said Elsa wearily. "They had their work." "Well, if they haven't, someone else probably has." "Who?" "I don't know who," Mrs. Carring- ton answered _irritably. "But I do know that your foolishness went the very best way about to excite suspi- sion. You couldn't help the Sea-Horse Jeing wrecked 1 daresay, but you night have avoided letting yourself he seen. Anyone with a grain of intel. gence would know at once thst you nad not gone there alone, on the day after your father's death, for nothing. The ebvious inference would be that you were hiding something. The jar won't be there." Bisa did not reply, but began to make resdy to lower her sail. The entrance to the Ring-Rock was ouly a hundred yards away now. Suddenly Mra. Carrington gave a short ery, and pulnted forward. "Who Is that?" A boat shot out from the opening in the circle of the Ring-Rock--a small boat with one man in it, and the man was rowing as though he were in a hurry. "Keep vour pail up, Elsa! catch him!" "Why shauld we try?" asked Elsa. "Besides, 1 don't think we can." The man had stopped rowing, and was running up a sail. . "This boat is a heavy sallor," Elsa went on. "I doubt if we shall gain on bim now. Do yout want me to try?" She s e listlessly. Her mother's excitement seemed absurd. But even if it wore not so--if the man bad found the stone jar, and was carrying it oft with him now--Eilsa 'did mot know whether she wished to stop hin. Yes terday she would have fought fiercely to keep the contents of that jar safe; to-day it seemed that their safety aid not matter, "No," said hor mother. "Take us ia quick!

"If the jar 'ie not there, we shall have 19 follow that man." But ihe jar waa where Elsa bad put EAM it. At the first cast of hor aArapple, a coll of the picture wire round its 'neck was caught, and it came too the sur: face, Era chipped off the cap of seal Ingwax with wiiieh she bad covered its month, and th-a; having taken out the cork, drew from it the rolled packet. Mrs. Carrington snatched it from ter hands. and toro it open. "Walt!" eried Pisa. There was something in her tole which made {he elder woman pause, "Well?" she asked irritabiy. "Father. gave me a message. which I was to deliver (0 you when | put that packet into your hands." "Well?" said Mrs. Carrington again. "He said that. his last command to you, gpoken through my lips, was that you were to respect the wish which you would fin pressed in a letter to you which thet packet contains. He said 'that vou would understand, and that I should not." o With 'a frown Mrs. Carrin®on he gan to read the letter. It was a long letter, and as she read the frown deep- ened. When she came to the end shs was silent for a moment, and then she sald shortly: $ "Take the boat out again." os. (0-09 Coiinned) _ .
