FOUR YEARS OF AGONY.
Whole Foot Nothing But Proud Flesh Had to Use Clutches-"Cuti- cura Remedies the Best on
 Earth"

''In the year 1899 the side of my right foot was cut off from the little toe down to the heel, and the physi- elan who had charge of me was try ing to sew up the side of my foot, but with no success At last my whole foot and way up above my calf was nothing but proud flesh. I suffered un- told agonies for four years, and tried different physicians and all kinds of ointments. l could walk only with crutches. In two weeks afterwards I saw a change in my limb. Then I be- gan using Cuticura Soap and Oint- ment often during the day, and kept it up for seven months, when my limb was healed up just the same as if I never had trouble. It is eight months now since I stopped using Cuticura Remedies, the best on Gods earth.

Lady Newdigate's Finger.
BY EDGAR FAWCETT

"Sho has told me everything Adela " ent on.
 'What-what?"
 That Mrs. Caverley and you are eonspiring to steal from Lady Newdi- gate her adorer, her vassal. That you have been using my so-called 'resem- blance' to her as lure That Lady Newdigate laughs at the whole affair, and has made it plain that she need only lift finger to have him repent antly back at her side"
 Here Adela's wrath blazed out. "IL all truei" she cried. T don't blame you, or Mrs. Caverley either. You both had your motives. You, Amelia. have always wanted me to marry what you call we'll. Besides, I-I love you too much to blame you for anything" The girl paused, and drew in a long breath. But Cyril Proigne, I shoulI like to meet him once more, and shallH

AS if the finger of his idol couldn't have been lifted without employing a poor. young country girl like myself as the lever force!" She echoed her own laugh again. and caught up a mantle and hat which had evidently lain in readiness near By.

 Really? Lift my finger? But I don't understand" The exquisite lace looked decorously astonished-no more.
 "Oh, yes. you do understand" said Adela, with far more quiet than she felt. 'I never knew till to-day that MT. Cyril Proigne had paid you court | for years. I never knew till to-day that the attentions he has shown me were caused by his wish to regain your favor.
