impossible to Get Employment, as
Face and Body Were Covered with
Sores-Cured by Cuticura.

"Since the year 1894 I have been
troubled with a very bad case OF &C.
zema which l have spent hundreds OF
dollars trying to cure, and ! went TO
the hospital but they failed to cure
me, and it was getting worse all the
time. Five weeks ago my wife bought
a box of Cuticura Ointment and one
cake of Cuticura Soap, and l am
pleased to say that I am now COM
pletely cured and well. 1t was i'm
possible for me to get employment,
as my face, head and body were COW
cred with it. The eczema first ap-
peared on the top Of my head, and Ii
had worked all the way around down
the back of my neck and around to my
throat, down my body and around the
hips. 1t itched so l would be obliged
to scratch it, and the flesh was raw.
I am now all well, and l will be
pleased to recommend the Cuticura
Remedies to all persons who wish a
speedy and permanent cure of skin
diseases" Thomas M. Rossiter, 29o

The few days following the thrill
ing incidents narrated above were
comparatively happy ones for Louis
Lang. In the duel with Whalen he
had been prlcked and cut Il little; The
wound in his head gave aim slight
pain and trouble. The strain on mis-
nerves and his sensitive nature pros
trated him temporarily. For \ week
or 50 he played the invalid, Perhaps
he would have convalesced quicker or
perhaps not at all if he had not been
waited upon and tenderly nursed by
Pearl Huntington and the good doc
tor, her father. There was something
besides bodily sickness and pain that
allied him, and that was love.
The lack of the care and encourage
ment of loving companion was what
had made our hero the devil-may-care
sort of an individual such as he APP
peared when Jim Denver met him in
the basement saloon when the twain
formed the co-partnership of attempt
ing to win fame and million. And
Louis had fallen in love with Pearl
Huntington.
Pearl was Louis ideal of woman
beautiful, graceful and pure. He was
not frivolous youth, but sensible and
staid; and she of frank, lovable dis
position, fearless, yet of that variety
of womanhood known as tender and
clinging," withal not dependent nor
weak.
Louis twas sitting in an easy chair,
rwAile Pearl was busying herself tidy
ing up the sitting-room. They had
been having another chat of the ma
ture similar to the one recorded be-
tween them on the evening of the
duel.

ington," said Louis, looking at her
longingly, into the belief that you
really love me; it was gratitude, not
love, that prompted you to say SOL"

A WINNING START.
A Perfectly Disested Breakfast Makes
Nerve Force for the Day.

Everything goes wrong if the break
fast lies in your stomach like a mud
pie. What you eat does harm if you
can't digest tit turns to poison.
A bright lady teacher found this TO
be true, even of an ordinary light
breakfast of eggs and toast. She
says:
Two years ago ! contracted very
annoying form of Indigestion. My
stomach was in such condition that
simple breakfast of fruit, toast and
egg gave me great distress.
II was slow to believe that trouble
could come from such simple diet
but finally had to give 1t up, and
found great change upon cup Of
hot Postum and Grape-Nuts with
cream, for my morning meal. For
more than a year have held to this
course and have not suffered except
when injudiciously varying my diet.
Il have been a teacher for several
years and find that my easily digested
breakfast means a saving of nervous
force for the entire day My gain Of
ten pounds in weight also causes me
to want to testify to the value Of
Grape-Nuts.

PECULIAR MEANS OF DEFENSE
Small Dageers Of Light Sent Out by
the Centipede.

Among the peculiar powers OF ami
mails there are none harder to explain
than the power of being self-lumipous.
1t is sometimes termed phosphores-
cence, but it is not now supposed to
depend upon phosphorus in the ami
NAL A correspondent of Nature de-
scribes her experience with lumi-
nous centipede which shows the evil
dent purpose of the luminous sub
stance as a means of defense. Atten-
ton was first attracted by a light OF
brilliant bluish-green that moved for
ward over the gravel, leaving behind
a trail of light, which, gradually sep
arating, became a scattered mass OF
brilliant points. The scattered points
proved to be red ants, which were pur-
suing the centipede. 1t had discharged
this luminous liquid over them. The
centipede was picked up and put in
tumbler where it flashed out a
mass of light. When the hand was
placed over the tumbler to prevent
the escape of the captive. strange
prickly sensation was felt as from a
slight charge of electricity. The CEN
tipede would writhe the light out Of it's
body In blue-green flashes until IT had
exhausted its luminosity and ceased
to shine. Defense seems certainly to
be one of the uses of this secretion.
