Soap, Ointment and Pills
The Worlds Greatest
Skin Cures.
PRICE The SET ST.
Complete Treatment for Every
HumOur, from PimpIes
TO SCy0fuIa.

TIE agonizing itching and burning
of The skin, as in eczema the frightful
scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss of
hair and crusting of the scalp, as in
scaled head the facial Disagreement,
as in pimples and ringworm; the
awful suffering of infants and the
anxiety of WORKOUT parents, as in
milk crust, letter, and salt rheum, all
demand a remedy of almost super
human virtues to successfully cope
with them. That Cuticura Soap, ONT
ment, and Pills are such stands proven
beyond all doubt. No statement is
made regarding them that is not justi-
fed by the strongest evidence. The
purity and sweetness, the power to
afford immediate relief, the certainty
of speedy and permanent cure, the alb
so1ute safety and great economy, have
made them the standard skin cures
and humour remedies of the civilized
world.
The grandest testimonial that can
be offered the Cuticura remedies is
their worldwide sale, due to the per-
sonal recommendation of those who
have used them. From small begin
ming in the simplest form, against
prejudice and opposition, against
monied hosts, countless rivals, and
trade Indifference, Cuticura remedies
have become the greatest curatives of
their time, and, in fact, of all time,
for nowhere in the history of medicine
is to be found another approaching
them in popularity and sale In every
cline and with every people they have
met with the same reception. The
confines of the earth are the only
limits to their growth. They have
conquered the world.

stood that l was in 4 passage. We
passed along it. and Holmes very gen
tly opened a door upon the right hand
side. Something rushed out at us, and
my heart sprang into my mouth, but l
could have laughed when l realized
that it was the cat. A fire was burn
ing in this new room, and again the air
was heavy With tobacco smoke. Holmes
entered on tiptoe, waited for me to fol
low. and then very gently closed the
door. We We're in Milverton's study,
and a portiere at the farther side show

1t was a good fire. and the room was
Illuminated by it. Near the door l saw
the CLEAN of an electric switch. but it
was unnecessary. even if it had been
safe. to turn it on. At n side of the
fireplace was a heavy curtain which
covered the bay window we had seen
from outside. On the other side was
the door which communicated with the
veranda. \ desk stood in the center,
with a turning chair Of shining red
leather. Opposite was a large book
case with a marble bust of Athene on
the top. In the corner, between the
bookcase and the wall. there stood a
tall, green safe, the freight flashing
back from the polished brass knobs
upon its face. Holmes stole across and
looked at it. Then he crept to the door
Of the bedroom and stood with slanting
head, listening intently. No sound came
from within. Meanwhile it had struck
me that it would be wise to secure our
retreat through the outer door. so I ex-
amined it. To my amazement it was
neither locked nor bolted. I touched
masked face in that direction. l saw
him start. and he was evidently as sur
prised as I.
Il don't like it." he whispered, put
ting his lips to my very ear Il can't
quite make it out. Anyhow we have
no time to lose"
Can l do ~anything:'
"Yes: stand by the door. If you hear
any one come. bolt it on the inside,
and we can get away as We came. If
they come the other way, we can get
through the door if our job is done or
hide behind these window curtains if
it is not. Do YOU underestimate"
I nodded and stood by the door. My
first feeling Of fear had passed away,
and l thrilled now with a keener Zest
than l had eve enjoyed when we were
the defenders of the law instead of its
dpfarS The HIGH object of orr mic
sion, the consciousness that it was
unselfish and chivalrous. the villainous
character of u opponent, all added to
the sporting interest of the adventure.
Far from feeling guilty. l rejoiced and
exulted in our dangers. With a glow
of admiration l watched Holmes IN

She had drawn a little cleaning re-
volver and emptied barrel after barrel
into Milverton's body, the muzzle with
in two feet of his shirt front. He
shrank away and then fell forward
upon the table, coughing %furiously and
clawing among the papers. Then he
staggered to his feet, received another
shot and rolled upon the floor. you've
done me!' he cried and lay still. The
woman looked at him intently and
ground her heel into his upturned face.
She looked again, but there was nc
SOUND or movement. l heard a sharp
rustic, the night air blew into the heat
ed room and the avenger was gone.
No interference upon our part could
have saved the man from his fate, but
as the woman poured bullet after bull

was about to spring out when l felt

Holmes slipped across TO the sare, nIIeu
his two arms with bundles Of letters
and poured them all into the fire.
Again and again he did it, until the
safe was empty.
Some one turned the handle and beat
upon the outside Of the door. Holmes
looked swiftly round. The letter which
had been the messenger Of death for
Milverton lay, all mottled with his
blood, upon the table. Holmes tossed
it in among the blazing papers. Then
be drew the key from the outer door,
passed through after me and locked it

sitting room.
"Good morning, Mr.. Holiness" said
he; good morning, May I ask if you
are very busy just now?"
"Not too busy to listen to you"
II thought that perhaps if you had
nothing particular on hand you might
care to assist us in a most remarkable
case which occurred only last night at
Hampstead"
"Dear me-" said Holmes. what was
that?"
"a murder-a most dramatic and re-
markable murder. l know how keen
you are upon these things, and I would
take it as a great favor if you would
step down to Appledore Towers and
give us he benefit of your advice. 1t
is no ordinary crime. We have had
our eyes upon this Mr.. Milverton for
some time. and, between ourselves, he
was a bit of a villain. He is known to
have held papers which he used for
Matchmaking purposes. These papers
have all been burned by the murderers.
No article Of value was taken. as it is
probable that the criminals were men
of good position whose sole object was
to prevent social exposure"
"CriminalS?' said Holmes. "Plural?"
Eyes, there were two Of them. They
were as nearly as possible captured red
handed. We have their fOotmarks. We
have their description. It's ten to one
that We trace them. The first fellow
was a bit too active. but the second
was caught by the under gardener and
only got away after Il struggle. He
was a middle sized. strongly built man

mask over his eyes"
Chats rather vague said Sherlock
Holmes. "Why. it might be a dcscrip-

IT'S true" said the inspector, with
amusement. 1T might be a description
Of Watson"
"Wcll, Pm afraid I can't help YOU,

that l knew this fellow Milverton. that
l considered him one of the most dan

there are certain crimes which the law

here, on the left hand, there stands
a shop window filled with photographs
