"a young woman came to our city
mission in a most awful condition physi-
cally. Our doctor examined her and
told us that she had scabies (the itch),
incipient paresis, rheumatism. etc.,
brought on from exposure. Her poor
body was a mass of sores from scratch
ing and she was not able to retain solid
food. We worked hard over her for seven
weeks but we could see little improve
ment. One day l bought cake Of
Cuticura Soap and a bottle of Cuti-
cura Resolvent. and we bathed our
patient we'll and gave her a full dose
of the Resolvent. She slept better that
night and the next day l got box of

young woman was able to look for

The butter women who, in white linen

ing was listless. All knew that the
struggle over Omega was to be set
tied that day, and that DOddridge
Knapp or George Decker was to find
ruin at the end of the call, and all
were eager to hasten the decisive mo-
ment.
I could see nothing of Doddridge
Knapp, and the uneasy feeling that he
was at Livermore came over me.
What was my duty in case he did not
appear? Had he left his fotune at the
mercy of the market to follow his law
less schemes? Had he been caught
in his own trap, and was he now to be
ruined as the result of his own acts?
might have spared my worry. The
call had not proceeded far when the
massive form of Doddridge Knapp ap-
peared at the railing. The strong
wolf-marks of the face were stronger
than ever as he watched the scene on
the floor l looked in vain for a trace
upon him of last nights work. II he
had been at Livermore he showed no
sign of the passions or anxieties that
had filled the dark hours.
He nodded carelessly for me to

What is it," I asked politely l
was prepared for almost any kind of
fireworks in that arena.
Doddridge Knapp made no reply,
but raised his hand as if to command
silence, and a moment later the call of
Omega was heard. And, for a marvel.
a strange stiffness did fall on the
thrOng.
At the word of call l saw Doddridge
Knapp step down to the floor of the
pit, calm, self-possessed, his shoulders
squared and his look as proud and

A EIutter in the Market.

The gray pail of the storm hung

the morning scarcely penetrated into

that led to our lodgings, leaving be-
hind us the trail of dripping garments.
l heaved a sigh of relief as Trent

faced the pleasing prospect of warmth,
dry clothing and friends.
We had made the run from Niles
without incident and had left the en-
gine on siding at Brooklyn without
being observed If the railroad COM
