BABY WASTED TO
MERE SKELETON
In TOrments a Year and a Half with
Terrible Sores on Face and Body
Hands Tied to Stop Scratching
and Tearing at Flesh But
CURE BY CUTICURA
COMPLETE AND SPEEDY

"My little son, when about a year
and a half old began TO have sores
come out on his face. / had a ply
stefan treat him, but the sores grew worse.
Then they began 10 come on his arms,
then on other parts Of his body, and
then one came on his chest, worse than
the others. Then l called another physi-
clan. Still he grew worse. At the end
Of about a year and half of suffering
he grew so bad l had to tie his hands
in cloths at night TO keep him from
scratching the sores and tearing the
flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton,
and was hardly able TO walk. My
aunt advised me TO try Cuticura Soap
and Ointment. So great was her faith
in it that she gave me small piece Of
Cuticura Soap TO try and a little
Cuticura Ointment. L took it home
without any faith, but 10 please her 1
tried it, and it seemed TO dry up the
sores a little. 1 sent TO the drug store
and got a cake Of Cuticura Soap and
box Of Cuticura Ointment and followed
the directions, and at the end of about
two months the sores were all well. He
has never had any sores of any kind
since. He is now strong and healthy,
and / can sincerely say that only for
your most wonderful remedies my pre-
cious child would have died from those
terrible sores. used only one cake OF
Soap and about three boxes Of Ointment.

ter from the van. The man fell silent
looking at him in wonderment for such
kindness.
Four hours later dimly through the
mist of his broken sleep Fitz Patrick
heard the crew depart for the woods
in the early dawn. On the crest OF
some higher waves of consciousness
were borne to him drunken shouts.
maudlin blasphemles. After a time he
arose and demanded breakfast.
The cook, pale and nervous, served
him. The man was excited, irresolute,
eager to speak. Finally he dropped
down on the bench opposite Fitz Pat
rick and began:
"Fitz,"' said he, don't go in the
woods today The men is fair wild wild
the drink, and the Rough Red is be-
side hi'self. Las night heerd them.
They are goin' to skid the butt log
again, and they swear that If you Gull
1t again they will kill you"
Fitz Patrick swallowed his coffee in
silence. In silence he arose and slip
ped on his mackinaw blanket coat. In
silence he thrust his beechwood tab
lets into his pocket and picked his pill
able scaler's rule from the corner.
"Where are We goin'T' asked the
cook anxiously.
"I'm goin' to do the work they pay
me to do" answered Fitz Patrick.
He took his way down the trail, his
face set straight before him, the smoke
of his breath steaming behind. The
first skidway he scaled with care, lay
ing his rule fat across the face Of each
log, entering the figures on his many
leaved tablets of beech, marking the
timbers swiftly with his blue crayon.
The woods were empty. No ring Of
the ak, no shout Of the driver, no fall
of the tree broke the silence. Fitz
Patrick comprehended. He knew that
at the next skidway the men were
gathered, waiting to see what he would
do; gathered openly at last in that
final hostility which had been matur-
ing all winter. He knew, besides, that
mbst of them were partly drunk and
wholly reckless and that he was
alone. Nevertheless, after finishing
conscientiously skidway number one.
he moved on to skidway number two.
There, as he had expected. the men
were waiting in Omlnous silence.
Methodically, deliberately. he did the
work. Then. when the last pencil
mark had been made and the tablets
had been closed with snap Of flnality,
the Rough Red stepped forward.
"Ye have finished with this skid
way?" asked the foreman in soft cat
tones.
81 have" answered Fitz Patrick
briefly.

MYSTERIOUS Man
WITH THE MASK

his luentlCy mas been discovered. Ap.
parently. he is perfectly familiar with
the city and its ways, yet, 80 far as
those who have, watched him know,
no one, ever has recognized him, al
though mis- disguise is so light as to
be-, at first glance, almost impercept-
ible, and it would seem impossible
that an acquaintance would fail to
know him.. :
/, The veil consists of an almost in
visible mesh, apparently fastened in
side OF his opera hat. and pulled
tightly down across his face to point
below the eyes. At night i. seems
like light shadow over the upper
part of his features.
That no one who has seen him has
recognized him, the police say, indi-
Gates that he is stranger in the city,
yet his apparent familiarity with
everything and with every street and
crossway makes them think that he
knows the city as we'll as they, and
perhaps better, since he has been
'abfe to disappear so suddenly.
,. OF theories there are scores, but Of
actual facts there are none, except
that the man is about six feet tall
apparently about 80 years of age, we'll
built. clean shaven, rather handsome.
and graceful.
For a time the police suspected
that he might be engaged in some
deep criminal operation, but the fact
that he sauntered through the most
public places in the city, strolled into
theaters, hotels and saloons, neither
seeking nor avoiding publicity, made
them drop that idea and conclude that
possibly he was planning some big
job, but his methods and appearance
both contradicted that.
Early in the fall he was noticed
several times downtown, and several
persons observed the odd mask that
he wore, and thought perhaps it was
worn to cover or correct some defect
| of the sight or to hold some bandage
in place on his forehead Beyond
that they paid little attention to him,
except to > observe a magnificent
white diamond that he wore on his
hand. How many times he dropped
in at the cigar store and neighboring
buffet before anything beyond mere
curiosity was aroused, no one knows,
but during the late fall and early win
ter men about town began to discuss
the mysterious man in the mesh mask
and wonder who and what he was.
He had a habit Of appearing sud-
denly, as If stepping from the door
| way of an Office building on Balti-
more street, and sauntering down the
street. No one, as far as can be
| learned, ever saw him come out of
any doorway, nor yet has he ever
been observed to enter Baltimore
street at any intersection.
| Some believe that the man disap-
pears merely by quick Juggling
change of appearance, and a turning
of raiment. One man believes that
the man is a theatrical performer, a
lightning change artist" practicing
his art for the fun of the thing. But
many believe he is a young man OF
wealth and position who either has
vowed to remain masked for a Ger.
tain length of time or is having fun
at the expense of the community sim.
ply by arousing curiosity and leaving
it unsatisfied.
But the fact remains that he is the
biggest mystery Baltimore has known
in years-and he still remains un
solved.
