When an infant my body broke
out all over with an eruption or rash,
which became more aggravated as
grew Older. Every noted physician
in our section was tried or consult
ed When I came of age l visited
Hot Springs, Ark, and was treated
by the best medical men, but was
not benefited. When all things had
failed I determined to try S. S. S.,
and in four months was entirely
cured The terrible Eczema was all
gone, not a sign left; my general
health built up, and / have never had

II tbourbt / heard YOU up very early

"LthOugnt hearu you up very early.
al have for long time wanted TO put my
fathers papers in order; you know how they
were thrown into the closet and your desk.
That reminds me, / found photograph
among those papers with three dates written
across the back, by you if am not mis-
taken.n
And he handed her Roger Laroque's photo
graph. The effect was stunning. Pale as
death itself Julia had hardly time to reach
chair before she sank down without strength
to move. At the first glance she had known
Rogers face, and the card fell unheeded to
the floor, and she looked at Raymond more
like a hunted animal than humon being.
In vain she tried to regain her GOODNESS and
surmount the horror which this sudden re-
turn Of a ghost of the awful past rose up be-
fore her. Her horror, her fear and the ner-
vous shock were too much, and she abandoned
herself completely to her emotion.
''Motherl motherl" cried Raymond, not
less agitated than she. His terrible suspicious
returned more pressing, more convincing IL
seemed to him as il the heavens were crum-
bling about him and there was no solid foun-
dation to the earth. There was but bound
less and bottomless space about him, where
were engulfed all his beliefs, his hopes and
his plans. And his mother said no word. He
had reached stage where he would have
even welcomed transparent lie, so much he
wanted to be reassured. At last she under
stood what was passing in her best loved
sons soul, and she tried to smile.
"ThiNheat has overcome me-"
He went and opened the windows, letting
in the cool breath of morning, which seemed
to relieve her little.
"What were you saying just now about a
photograph"
He picked it up and gave it to her. This
time she looked at it and said:
"Oh, yes How could this have got lost
there9 IL is that of an old friend Of our
family who married a cousin Of mine. Those
dates. Yes, they were his marriage, the &c
cidental death of his bride in two days and of
his having become insane about two weeks
later. He died soon after, too, believe"
Raymond breathed again. This seemed
reasonable story, and if it were true one
all his suspicious fell to the ground. He took
the photograph from her hand, which still
trembled, and placed it in an album. As he
did so, he remarked:
''It is curious that the picture seems to be
pierced by knife there by the side Of the
heart. Do you notice it9"
III mas likely been pushed against nan In
moving" said she.
When Raymond had gone, Julia sat for
hours with her eyes fixed upon the album.
The portrait seemed to draw her invincibly,
and at last she rose and, apparently thinking
with its destruction she could chase away the
ghostly thoughts that crowded in her mind,
she removed it and burned it to cinders, which
