rhe Tell Tale
of Grav Hair
To be judged ten years older than
you actually are, is the tell-tale of
gray, streaked hair, which detracts
from a youthful appearance as much
as a wrinkled face does.
Women, everywhere, prefer the
easy, harmless “Brownatone” method
that tints gray, streaked, faded or
hair, instantly, to any shade
of brown or black.
Without injury to hair or scalp,
“Brownatone” imparts natural, last
ing colors that defy detection. Does
not rub or wash off, and requires
just a few moments to aDply.
Guaranteed absolutely harmless.
Druggists everywhere sell and rec
ommend “Brownatone.” Two sizes
—soc and $1.50 with easy, complete
directions. Two colors shading
from “Golden to Medium Brown” and
“Dark Brown to Black.”
Special Free Trial Offer.
For a free trial bottle of “Brown
atone” send to The Kenton Pharm

THE STRANGE ISLAND.
After Nancy and Nick had left the

his lost wishing ring in the hut of

In h'er hand Nancy carried the carv

precious map. The twins were still J
very far north, but at the rate they j
were going they were in a fairway \
to reach the South Pole, and the end
of their journey, by nightfall.
But quite unexpectedly the Green
Shoes set them down on an island in
the midst of the sea.
It was a very small island and so
low that the waves bi’oke over -it
constantly. Indeed there was no
dry spot to be found anywhere and
the twins soon gave up trying. Nick
opened the carved box and took out
his map.
“This is a queer place,” said he.
“Perhaps this will tell about it.”
But Nancy had an idea. “Oh,
Nickie, I know what has happened.
“We wished ourselves a hundred
miles away to escape from the wick
ed wizard and the hundred miles
must be up. It’s a good thinjj this
island happened to be here.”
“I think it is myself,” said the
island. “A very good thing for ev
erybody concerned.”
“Goodness!” cried both children in
amazement. “Can you talk?”
“Yes,” answered one end of the
island while the other end gave a
powerful .fjop with its tail. “I
learned hundreds of years ago.”
“It’s a whale!” gasped Nancy.
“Yes,” nodded Nick, “and he’s not
on the map at all. “I think we’re
lucky. What if he had not been
here?”
But scarcely had the words 16ft
his mouth when the island, or rather
the whale, began to sink slowly.
“Oh, oh, oh!” screamed Nancy
when the island or rather the whale,
that she and Nick were standing on
began to sink slowly under the
waves. “Where are we going?”
“You shall soon learn,” gurgled
the whale, for the waves had closed
over his head and talking was diffi
cult.
I doubt if the twins in their ex
citment could have understood him
at all if Nancy hadn’t kept a tight
hold on the little box containing the
language charm of the Fairy Queen.
By his reply she knew only too well,
and so did Nick, that the whale evi
dently intended to ,takc them with
him on his trip under the sea, where
ever he might be going.
“But you can’t take us along,”

It was true! The children were too
