THE RAIROAD TICKET.
CHAPTER LXV.
lI7HILE the doctor was examining
” the butler, Mrs. Gray went up
stairs with the officer. They pound
ed on her door, the noise of the of
ficer’s stick reverberating through
the house. Then I heard the sound
of splintering wood, and knew they
I had broken in the door. (
All was quiet for a time. I was so
nervous I could scarcely stay where
I was. Finally they, the officer and
Mrs. Gray, came down.
“He’s gone!” the officer announced
laconically. “Now we’ll see what
he’s carried off with him.” ,
“He’s all right now,” the doctor
said. “He will not need me any lon
ger tonight. I’ll dop in in the
morning.” The butler was resting
quietly in Everett’s bed after the
bullet in his shoulder had been ex
tracted. It struck me as so comical.
I laughed almost hysterically, then
sobered as I followed the officer and
Mrs. Gray to my room to see what
the burglar had ‘lifted’ as he face
tiously remarked —altho I could see
nothing funny in the idea of having
my belongings stolen.
When we switched’on the lights in
my room, it was evident it had been '
hurriedly ransacked. I had given ;
I the burglar his opportunity when I
| fled to Mrs. Gray with Hetty. Bu-
■ reau and dressing table drawers were
! pulled out and their contents scat- '
■ tered over the floor. Every bit of
; jewelry save that which was in the
i libarary was gone. The sapphires (
' which I had taken from my bag and
left on the - .'dressing table were miss
ing, as well as other things. My purse
a handsome gold one Everett had
given me, was gone. It held what
money I had, my ticket to New York
York which I had not thought to
redeem, and some toilet articles.
,“You made is mighty easy for
him,” tjie -officer said dryly, when I
told him <ff the ticket. “It ain’t every
crook who gets his getaway with his
swag.”
i Nothing was missing save from
my room. Finally the officer left,
! and’ we were again a normal house
hold. But none of us thought of
, sleeping. It waS about 2 o’clock
|so Mrs. Gray proposed we go into
the dining room and that Hetty
.should find us something to eat. Cook
evidently had heard nothing, and
Mrs. Gray said it would be foolish
to call her. She slept in the same
part of the house as did the butler,
and so was ignorant of all that had
happened—as he would perhaps have
been had he remained at home as
he expected to in Everett’s ab
sence.
We had some milk and sandwiches
I then Hetty went to"my room with i
me. After insisting' that Igo to bed
again, she laid down on the divan.
I would not have remained alone
for anything in the world. ,

TERRIBLY SWOLLEN
Suffering Described As Torture
Relieved by Black-Draught.
Rossville, Ga.—Mrs. Kate Lee Able, of
this place, writes: “My husband is an
engineer, and once while lifting, he in
jured himself with a piece of heavy ma
chinery, across the abdomen. He was
so sore he could not bear to press on
himself at all, on chest or abdomen. He
weighed 165 lbs., and fell off until he
weighed 110 lbs., in two weeks.
He became constipated and it looked
like he would die. We had three different
doctors, yet with all their medicine, his
bowels failed to act. He would turn up
a ten-cent bottle of castor oil, and drink
it two or three days in succession. He
did this yet without result. We became
desperate, he suffered so. He was swol
len terribly. He told me his suffering
could only be described as torture.
I sent and bought Thedford’s Black-
Draught. 1 made him take a big dose,
and when it began to act he fainted, he
was in such misery, but he got relief and
began to mend at once. He got well,
and we both feel he owes his life to
Thedford’s Black-Draught.”

to keep fit, ready for the day’s work.

Gray’s bed and made a rope of them
down which he had slid to the ex
tension in which the butler and cook
slept, from where it was easy to
drop to the ground.
Exhausted, I feel asleep and did
not waken until my usual time.
“What has happened, Hetty?” I
asked, rubbing my eyes. “I have had
the most awful dream.” She was
standing by my bed with my break
fast tray as was her habit when Ev
erett was away. When he was
home, I always breakfasted with him.
“The burglar ma'am—and the
storm.”
“Then it was true?” as it all came
vividly back to me.
“Indeed it was, ma’am! Such an
awful night!”
“How is James?”’
“Fine, ma’am. He’ll be about in
no time—a week or two.”
Before I ate my breakfast I looked
through my things to assure myself
of what was missing, and found
nothing more gone than we had dis
covered the night before.
“Do you suppose they will find the
burglar?” I asked Hetty. I was to
tally ignorant of burglars, but
thought Hetty might inform me.
“No, them police ain’t no good,”
she sniffed, and I recalled that she
had been engaged to a policeman and
he had jilted her and mar eirdanmeO
he had jilted her and married an
other girl. She might be biased in
her opinion.
“Well, I’m glad Jamas frightened
him away before he got into the din
ing room.”
“Mr. Graham is going to be badly
put out,” she replied with the free
dom I had made easy for her. “He
won’t have no butler nor no chauf
feur. And he thinks a heap of
James and Thomas.”
1 made no reply. But as I drank
my coffee and munched my toast, I
wondered if Everett would blame
me for all that had happened—if
he would say that had T remained at
home and studied or practised,
Thomas would not have been hurt;
and that had he been at home per
haps he could have helped James
catch the burglar. Then I wondered
what Leola would have done under
the circumstances, and if he, Ever
ett, would have blamed her no mat
ter who had been shot, or what had
happened?

LADIES! DARKEN
YOURIW HAIR
Use Grandma’s Sage Tea and
Sulphur Recipe and Nobody
will Know.
The use of Sage and Sulphur for re
storing faded, gray hair to Its natural
color dates back to grandmother’s
time. She used it to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attrac
tive. Whenever her hair took on that
dull, faded or streaked appearance,
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a 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 up
on to restore natural color and beauty
to the 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 disappears, and after an
other application or two, it becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.
Wyeth’s Sage arid Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire a more youthful
appearance. It is not intended for
the cure,-mitigation or prevention of
disease. *

MRS. REESE DECLARES SHE
HADN’T BEEN WELL IN YEARS
UNTIL SHE TOOK TANLAC—
TROUBLE GONE.
“I wouldn’t take a thousand dol
lars cash for the goocj Tanlac has
dohe me,” said Mrs. Lula Reese, who
resides at 1559 Hicks street, Augus
ta, Ga.
“It may sound strange, but I had
suffered -wth stomach trouble, rheu- '
matism rrd neura'gia until I got to
the place where I didn't care whether j
I lived or died. Everything I ate
oured on my stomach and made trou- -
1 ble for me and in addition to the \
rheumatism, I fell and broke my arm I
1 and it seemed like my other troubles I
kept it from healing up like it ought
to. I just lived in misery all the I
i time and couldn’t get any relief.
“I have just finfshed my second
i bottle of Tanlac, and it is surprising
I how I have improved considering that
i I have not been well before in fifteen
I years. The rheumatism and sore
ness is gone from my arms, my stom
ach is all right and I can eat anything
J want and digest it. I have gained
some in weight, am able to do all my
work and feel good all the time. I
want everybody to know that Tanlac
has restored my health.”

Extra Miles
We can show you—and prove to you—
that there is a genuine money saving in the
use of United States Tires.
The extra miles they give mean just so
many extra dollars counted in real money.
And there are further actual economies in
the saving of gas, oil, repairs and depreciation.
The reason of all this is in the tires them
selves—their liveliness, ruggedness and
sturdiness.
There are five United States Tires——a type
for every make of car.

We know United States Tires are good tires. That’s why we sell them.
