doctor, and he pronounced it to be
eczema of very bad form. He treated
her, but the disease spread to her back,
and then the whole of her head was
affected, andsll her hair had to be cut
off. The pain she suffered was excru-
ciating, and with that and the heat
and tingling her life was almost I'M
bearable. Occasionally she was deliri-

MORE WALKERS
WANT TO RACE

More Methuselahs have joined the
walkist brigade. The report publish
ed in an afternoon paper, that Charlie
Lambert wanted to get in, turns out
to be absolutely correct. Impossible
though it may seem, the marvellous
mass of plug hated rotundity actual
ly wants to walk against the aggre-
cation of superannuated veterans who
have already started the affair.
But there are reservations. When
interviewed last night on the subject,
Charlie said: FSure [ want ter walk,
[ can beat dem fellers. Dot ISIS / can
beat Matt Heffern. I dunno about
dot man Ayres, or you Here he
was assured that the Advertiser rep
resentative, accused by the Star of be-
ing anxious to enter, would on no ac-
count do so, but he merely grinned
and went on: 81 tell you vot We do.
Me and Matt will start at Kalakaua
road and you fellers start at der Ma
huka site, den We all finish at der
Waikiki Inn''
Charlie was then assured that Matt
WAS tanning Ihc ludIteI 5CiiouSiy
and really thought he could defeat
Ayres. "Ho no, is dot 500" was the
reply. "Vot, und carry all dot bal
last? Ho ho'' But, all the same,
Charlie is after Matt's scalp and, if
the latter starts with the rest of the
bunch without handicap, Charlie will
do likewise
There is talk of Harry Lake enter
ing also, and with his long and sturdy
legs he should be able to make it hard
for all of them. As matter of fact,
all of these walkists have been speedy
ones in their time. Just how long
ago it would be a shame to mention,
but they all have withered newspaper
clippings to prove their assertions.
Ayres, the artless air applier, is
probably the best of the bunch. He
has been vigorously preparing himself
for the event by studied stunts at
the boathouse every morning, and
should easily be able to stride past the
post a winner.
The date is Sunday, December Is,
the time II O'Clock in the morning,
and the course from Kalakaua road
to the Waikiki Inn. about three-quar-
ters of mile. Mr.. Bartlett of the
Brewery has kindly placed his auto
mobile at the service of the press and
there will be an extra squad of police
to keep the track clear.
