jj The Gray-Haired | 0 Woman § 0 K i fl By WINIFRED DUNBAR, ffi Copyright, I>ll, WMt.ra Niwaptp.r Union. "Come here, girl; don’t look at me as If I were u dragon 1" , Elsie went forward and looked at .Miss Ingleby with au expression of so much mingled hatred and admiration thut the elder woman flushed her white teeth and her eyes twinkled exactly as they did In the posters with which almost every billboard In the United States had been decorated at one Hine or another. She went forward defiantly, but a moment luter somehow she found that she was crying upon Miss Ingleby's shoulder, while the singer caressed her and patted her huh- gently. “So I have stolen her beau away from her and she wants him back 1" whispered Miss Ingleby. "Isn’t that so, dearie?" Elsie raised her head. "I shouldn't mind if —If you meant to marry Tom," - she sobbed. “How old are you, child?” inquired Miss Ingleby. "Twenty,” said Elsie defiantly. “And Tom?” "Tom is twenty-five. And y«a must be nearly thirty,” said Elsie. “So 1 know you don’t mean to marry Tom. And we were to be married at Chrlst- . mas. and now —now he won't speak to me.” The match between Elsie Lennon and Tom Banks was approved by all Kentville, for Tom was a rising young ' business man of the town and Elsie's father, old Major Lennon, who kept . the summer hotel, had been one of the first settlers. And they had been sweethearts for years. “Never you mind; you shall have your Tom again.” whispered Miss Ingleby encouragingly. But it seemed a harder problem than Miss Ingleby had expected. She had not meant to lead Tom on. But a woman of the world often forgets that the' light interchange of repartee and badinage may be the cut and thrust of mortal earnest to an Inexperienced • young man. It was Tom who furnished her with ' her opportunity that evening when , they sat together on the piazza. “Miss Ingleby,” he said, "I want toi , tell you something. You are going away on Thursday—but I don’t want! you to go out of my life. You have made me love you—” “Love you!” she exclaimed. “Why, you are nothing but a boy!” ‘1 am twenty-five,” he answered sul-| lenly. “I know you may be a year or; two older than I am. But where love exists age does not count. I —” “Mr. Banks, listen to me.” said the. singer. “Do you think it the part of’ an honorable man to make love to one woman when you are engaged to another?” “No, I don’t,” he cried. "But how can one help whom one loves?” “On Thursday morning I will give you my answer,” she answered. Elsie dreaded the evening meal. There were but three other guests at that season; her father and herself sat at a table facing Miss Ingleby, and I Tom, who had boarded at the hotel ever since their engagement. The door opened and a woman came in. A gray-halred woman, with wrinkles round her eyes and mouth, and pallid cheeks. She was dressed in a plain black suit of antiquated cut; she was just a motherly looking body of forty-odd years. The major looked' up and stared hard. “Who is that, Elsie?” he whispered, as she seated herself at Tom’s table. "Miss Ingleby!” stammered the girl in amazement. I The rest of the meal was passed in absolute silence. Elsie’s eyes took In every detail of the IncidenL She saw the expression of amazement that crept into Tom’s eyes, saw him attempt to speak, choke, and at last rise and hurry from the room. And Miss Ingleby, brave Miss Ingleby who had stripped herself naked of her little artifices to save another woman, gat there unconcerned, the cynosure of all eyes, making a courageous show of eating until the last course was served. Then ‘ she went to her room. There Elsie found her afterward. She understood that the elder woman had made atonement for her offense. “Why did you do It?” whispered Elsie. “Because,” answered Miss Ingleby slowly, “I was young once, and sweet and innocent —like you.” She kissed her good-by and none of them saw her again. But on the piazza Elsie found Tom, walking like a madman. When he saw her he came humbly up to her. “Elsie,” he said, “you know what sort of a fool I have been. I suppose we can never be the same to each other again, but if you will give me a chance —” “Perhaps we can be more, Tom,” she whispered. And she knew that from that moment hers would be the stronger soul; that the innocence of youth had yielded to the knowledge of maturity; that the sheltering love she bore Tom was immeasurably stronger than the girlish adoration which was gone forever. Prose and Poetry. “A great man leaves footprints on the sands of time.” “That is beautiful poetry,” replied Senator Sorghum. ; “But the man who is really useful Is | liable to be digging in a garden In- . stead of tramping around the sea- I 1 ghore.”

MONROE NEWS Mr. mid Mrs. P„ E. Shirk mid son. Unlit., spent Sunday with Mrs. Shirk's brother, J. Fred Mayer and family, The entire family of Orville Osterman with the exception of one son. are strlken down with Influenza. What might have been it anrioua ac-j cident. occured Friday afternoon. [ when the horse of Art Huffman, living on the Eli llendlrks farm, one and one-half mile south of here, took fright when near Ira Waggner home In the south part of town, upsetting the bug gy and throwing Mr. Huffman to the ground. Mr. Huffman escaped with a slight injury to his right knee. The revival meeting being held at the Pleasant Volley Friends church, conducted by Rev. Relkenliaeh is reimrted as being one of much interest, with several sessions at this time. Win. Stuckey, the harness man, is one of our most progressive business men and has made several improvements since purchasing the shop from Lawrence Iteitter a short time ago. He installed a modern electreci shoe finishing machine, and a few days ago he had put in one of the latets model oiling tanks for the purpose of oiling harness. Which he is now prepared to do to better advantage and more satisfactory than heretofore, which is evident by the amount of harness brought to his shop each week. See it. Tiie Busche Brothers Duroc hog sale held at tiie pavillion on West Washington street, on last Friday was one of the best ever held here. The hogs J offered for sale were all fine bred hogs as pretty as a picture, and sold at fancy prices. A large number was ! present at the sale. Bidding was lively and spirited. The Ray Harvey hog sale a week ago and the Busche Brothers, Ernest and Fred wore great attractions for foreign hogs buyers, and no doubt these offerings of pure bred Duroc hogs will continue to be held at intervals at the pavilion as the demand requires. Does history repeat itself? It does. This was evident when the Monroe High school basket ball team again were the victors of the Adams County I championship of two years in succession. 1921-1922, which was held at the 'county meet at Berne on Friday and Saturday when they copped the great .talked of and hampered Decatur hunch, and did it without the aid of a preacher as it was said, by a score of 24 to 17. This was the hardest fought battle of this season and created much interest among the fans both ’at Decatur and in fact all over the county. In fact the Monroe five were just to fast and in faster company than the Decatur five have been in the habit or traveling in. We can say that the Monroe team is given a fair and honest deal, Decatur can not defeat the local team, which is evidenced by the two recent defeats handed to the varsity boys, the first game resulted 57 to 19 and the championship game 24 to 17. The Monroe boys will ■ again be heard from at the district meet to be held at Decatur on next (Friday and Saturday. The coaches of the Monroe basket iball teams desire to extend thanks in i behalf of the players for the kind manner and hospitality extended them while in Berne attending the county tournament last Friday and Saturday. The following is a complete score of the games played and the results of each game p ayed at the county tournament held at Berne on Friday and Saturday. Boys High School Montoe vs Decatur.

AT DEATH’S DOOR “Ten years of stomach trouble reduced me to a living skeleton. I had attacks of pain that doubled me up like a jack knife and I was as yellow as a gold piece. No medicine or doctors helped me and was really at death’s door.

ANITA STEWART HAS ENTIRELY NEW ROLE

Tim Prouty Boosters' Ball wns jo blame for It all! J And the theatregoers of Decnutr have the Prouty Boosters' Bull to I thank for affording them one of the I most appealing photoplays of the I year in "The Fighting Shepherdess," screen version of the famous book by Caroline Lockhart, starring Anita enrol ine L ockhart, st urrlng Anllu Stewart and which will be seen at the Crystal theater today and tomorrow. In the role of Kate Prentice, a gH I in whom a splendid character has been reposed but. about whom a depressing environment lias been enshrouded as a result of living in the questionable roadhouse from which her mother derives a livelihood, Miss Stewart has a role that calls for a vigorous delineation of the natural effects these circumstances and surroundings would have on a girl. The plot begins to .unravel whim Kate is saved from the advances of a rohgh character through the chivalry of "Mormon Joe,’’ a recluse sheep herder whose moody exclusiveness has a tendency to make tiie villagers wary of him. He provides a separate hut for Kate on the sheep ranch and thereupon hinges the big events in the girl’s life and the murder of Joe, all matters combining in a most interesting and gripping tale of a girl who dared to fight for the right despite the preponderance of odds. SAGE TEA TURNS GRAY HAIR DARK It's Grandmother’s recipe to bring col or, lustre and youthfulness to hair when faded, streaked or gray. That beautiful, even shade of dark, glossy hair can only be had by brewing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Your hair is your charm. It | makes or mars the face. When it fades, turns gray or streaked, just an application or two of Sage and Sulphur enhances its appearance a hundredfold. Don't bother to prepare the mixture; you can get this famous old recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients at a small cost, all ready for use. It is called Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound. This can always be depended upon to bring back the natural color and lustre of your hair. Everybody uses “Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound now because it darkens 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 the hair, taking one small strand at, a time; by morning the gray hair! has jdisappflaj-ed, and after another I application it becomes beautifully' dark and appears glossy and lustrous.
