I'm not a had girl and that knowledge so satisfies me that I must decline to defend myself. Frankly, you're talking through your hat. Bo quiet. A doctor wouldn't betray his patient. Ho would remember his oath of Hippocrates to refrain f.om gossiping about whatever of a private nature he stumbled upon in the course of his duties." The nurse, febuked, flushed and was silent. “That telephone will bo connected in a dav or two.” Monica reminded her. “When it rings, under no circumstances are yon to answer it.” I “But if I do?" “I’ll wear out a quirt on you, Mrs. King.” v \ A look of fear and repugnance—hatred, almost — convinced Monica that her bluff had worked. She walked over to the radio and tuned in for the benefit of Bob Mason. CHAPTER 46 During the week that followed all was serene on Bogus. The day following that memorable interview the telephone was repaired and JTirest Service called Monica io test out the line and get a report; •n the late afternoon Tony Garland called up. Building materials had been sent up and he was busy ere< ting a nhw station farther out in the middle of Tantrum Meadows—out of the future spark range as he described it. Os course he had lost all of his books and personal possesions, but as these w-ere few and not very valuable he was not disposed to be unduly depressed at his loss. He reported an accumulation of magazines and her monthly consignment of books addressed to Monica at the Dogwood Flats postoffice and promisde to bring them up to her at the earliest possible moment. -“Read them first, Tony darling.” Monica begged, “and come up as soon as you have a roof over your head.” Four days later he called up again —he called up daily, in fact, but this * me he had news of importance to communicate. “Bentley dropped in on me this afternoon,” he said. “He* been over to Honey Valley looking lor evidence. He scraped the bottom of the only wel! on 'he ranch and has cleaned out half a dozen wa'er-hoh s. “Also he Ringed around in a mile cf that croek’that runs down through tl | valley past the scene of the killing. lie was aliout to give up when, on his way back to the ranch-house, he passed a big oak tree with a hole 'n it about five feet from the ground. He tapped it and discovered it was hollow. So he drove back to Dogwood Flate and bought an ax at the general store, returned and cut down that.oak tree. . . ... . loaded pistol and six empty cartridge shells. The gun was only slightly rusted and the number is quite legible Tomorrow ley will wire the jmanufacturers this number and start running down the history of that pistol sincerit left the factory—manufacturer to jobber, jobber to retail dealer, retail dealer to consumer, consumer to that hollow oak tree! The record will be there, although the search will require time.” “That’s very wonderful news for everybody except poor Bob." “The man out-Galahads Sir Galahad. Well, if we can run dtfwn the tbcord of the ownership of - that pistol Bentley and his chief deputy. Nott, will testify to finding it/ and that testimony will be strong enough to support Bob’s contention that 1 e killed his man in self-defense. It will create more than a reasonable doubt in his favor at a new trial -and with only a doubt I can stampede a fair jury. It may be thatjwe will not have to drag his wife into court at all.” “I do hope so, Tony.” "While Bentley was here I got him

COMB SAGE TEA INTO GRAY HAIR Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea, with sulphur and jlco-

hoi added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get the ready-to-use preparation improved b y

Liv/u uiipiurcu u j the addition of other ingredients. It is known as Wyeth's Sage & Sulphur Compound and can he obtained at all drug stores for only 75 cents a bottle. While gray faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractiveness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, because it does it so naturally, so evenly. Yon just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared. After another application or two your hair becomes beautifully dark, glos- ' sy, soft and luxuriant and you appear years younger.
