physician pronounced Eczema. About three
weeks ago the same disease broke out again on
the same leg, and my physician has been attend

daily, the sores all the time getting worse. A
friend called to see me, and brought about
one half teaspoonful of CUTICURA, advising
me to try it, telling of himself bro,hcrs and
mother having been cured by it, l would
not try it at first, although | had been on
crutches for over two weeks, and at one time
counted between twenty-five and thirty suIrUr-

have you in my arms at last. Ha! Ia!
That poor, silly, blind fellow thought
that he was going to rob me of you; to
steal your kisses from my lips; but he
is lying yonder In the snow. Aye, the
brave bashaws did their work nobly.
I went out just to take one peep at him

Come to take you with me that we may

white face again"
I would not like my reader to Inn
agine that Wanda Arlington, for all
her softness and delicacy, was af-
ficted with nerves." and SO must beg
him TO remember that the poor girl had
endured great prostration and was at
the very moment Of the assault in 8
state Of trouble bordering very nearly
on the hysterical. Therefore 1t Is not
remarkable that she just closed those
heaven blue eyes of hers nnd fell back
without sigh into her captor's arms,
blissfully unconscious of everything.
He dragged her along with rude
haste. hurting threats on the crowd
now gathering round hum, and occa-
sionally kissing the white cheek, for
there was not q man who dared fling
himself upon him. Not that the river
siders were towards, or dismayed ut the
Herculean strength of the young
Frenchman, but they looked with q re-
ligious terror on insanity, and there
was not lad among them who did not
know that Alphonse Damiens was mad
as March hare.
But presently the ranks divide and
the square-set form of old Bladon is seen
in the front. He Is spent with running,
and breathless. So he stays o minute
that his painting lungs may breathe
more freely; then, with bound, he is
ON his foe.
Damiens glared upon the old man in
savage wonder, threw the senseless
body Of the girl upon the snow, and
with wild, hoarse cry of fury. sprang
upon his brave assailant.
It was an unequal contest. Youth
and age, and the thrill of madness lend
ing inhuman vigor to the limbs of the
stronger.
With arms entwined around each
other, as they swayed to and fro, it did
not seem difficult to say who would fall
first, for the Frenchman was head and
shoulder taller than his aged antagonist,
and his superb limbs yielded not an inch
to Bladon's vain efforts to throw him
