"My stars! If that ain't the Meven
twenty," exclaimed Hannah Houghson,
as a shrill whistle rent the morning
air. "Beats all how ttaue flies. Hi
ram; ain't that butter come yet?" aht
tfasped.
"I guess It'll come soon, now,"
drawled her tall, good-natured husband,
patiently turning away at the huge bar
rel churn..
"Well, you'd hest give them cows
wore suit," she advised, bustling about
with one eye on the station platform.
My! dlnner'II be lute today. That but
ter has got to go oil the 3:15, an'
hain't churned yet."
. Hannah, dropped her steel-rlmmed
apectaeles down onto her angular nose
and peered out of the window. In the
SO years that she and Hiram had lived
In the tiny cottage perched on a hill
above the station she had , never been
oo busy to stop and watch the few
passengers alight at Cedarvllle.
"Mercy !" she criticized as her atten
tion became centered on a smartly
dressed couple with a young baby.
"That woman don't act much like a
toother. She's lettln' the sun blaze
right Into that poor baby's eyes." Then,
after a moment's Intent watching and
relief: "There, she's shadln. It some
cow,"
"Why, Hiram," she gasped, "there
they go In an automobile up the half
tnlle drive to the Appleby estate. They
must be the new people who have
rented the place."
"Butter's come," announced Hiram
triumphantly.
"Well, If they ain't got a baby. Sam
Corby told me he wa'n't goln to rent
to folks with children again. The last
family barked off all the slttln' room
paint."
"It'll be a long time 'fore that baby
fcarks on much paint," reflected Hi
ram, skimming out the golden lumps
of butter onto the working board.' 1
"That ain't It so much as that these
folks Is gettln this place under false
pretenses. Last week I saw their fur
niture, and they had a high chair an
a cradle and a go-cart, and now they
got the baby, all right."
"It's none of our business what they
Sot," broke In Hiram. "Let Sam take
rare of that end of It."
Finally, she could restrain her cu
riosity no longer and one pleasant aft
rnoon she ventured a call on the
''queer people."
"Now, Mrs. Gavey," she began after
Introducing herself, "I'm afrnid you'll
think the neighbors nlu't very sociable.
I hope you ain't lonely."
.Mrs. Gavey smiled. "We've been so
fcusy we haven't hnd time," she re
plied. "And then, we huve plenty of
resources within ourselves."
, "Y-e-s, I suppose so," returned Han
nah dubiously. She rallied In a mo
ment and came to the point of her
nl at once. "How Is the baby?" she
Inquired solicitously. "The poor little
thing must be pretty peaked shet up
so much."
. Mrs. Gavey stared at her visitor In
polite amazement.
"The baby?" she questioned. "There
roust be some mistake. We have no
tmby. You know, Mr. Corby refused
to take tenants with children."
"What, ain't you got no baby?" ques
tioned Hannah blunty. Then raising
tier hands In horror: "What's become
of it. then??"
The entrance of Mr. Gavey at this
moment caused a happy Interruption.
"One of our neighbors has come to
all," explained Mrs. Gavey, "and Is
under the Impression that we have a
tmby." ,
"Why, you had a cradle an' a high
chair an' a go-cart in your furniture,"
asserted Hannah.
"Oh," laughed Mrs.. Gavey, "the
bigh chair belonged to Mr. Gavey
when he was a child. The cradle and
go-cart are presents and we have them
packed and ready to v'lip to my broth
er tomorrow."
"But you had a baby in your arms
the first day you arrived In Cedar
vllle," declared Hannah.
"I had a baby when I came here?"
she echoed vaguely. "I don't remem
ber," looking helplessly at her hus
band. Mr. and Mrs. Gavey had made so
many trips that their first trip seem
ed to have blotted out of their minds.
Suddenly Mrs. Gavey's face bright
ened. "Alicia's baby 1" she ejaculated.
-That's It."
In a flash they saw how a simple
Incident had created ah air of mys
tery about them. "On the train," ex
plained Mrs. Garvey, ''we met a
friend who had Just recovered from a
serious illness. She was traveling with
her baby and a trained nurse. The
trip proved too much for her and the
became 111, requiring all the nurse's
attention. We took charge of the
child and brought it to Cedurville with
us. We telephoned the father and he
followed,, on the next train and he
took tle child home that Bight." ,
Hannah neve knew'Just how1 she
made her exit. , ,
"I gu?ss you was right about
them folks," hesitatingly admitted
Hannah that night at supper as she
confessed her blunder to Hiram. "You
can't believe half what you see and
it's better to take folks on 'face value'
like you do checks and notes.
Hiram arose and awkwardly put his
arm shout her. "We're all liable to
make mistakes," he soothed.
"They're real kind people," she went
on. "an I guess they cured me tryio
to be s Sherlock Holmes,"

SAGE TEA DARKENS
111 TO ANY SHADE
Don't stay Gray I Here's
Old-time Recipe that Any
body can Apply.
The use of Sage and Snlphur for re
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color Hates back to grandmother's time,'
She used it to keep her hair beautifully
dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever
her hair took on that dull, faded or
streaked appearance, this simple mixture
wss applied with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is muMr. and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a 60 cent bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,"
you will get this famous old preparation,
Improved by the addition of other in
gredients, which can be depended upon to
restore natural color and beauty to tha
hair.
A well-known downtown druggist says
it darkens the hair so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied. You simply dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one strand at
a time. By morning the gray hair dis-.
appears, and after another application or
two, it becomes beautifully dark an
glossy. -
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
is a delightful toilet requisite for those
who desire a more youthful appearance.
It is not intended for the cure, mitigation
or prevention ol disease.
