FIFTEEN YEARS OF
KEEN SUFFERING
Rheumatism Developed Burning,
Painful Sores on Legs TOrtured
Day and Night-Tried All Kinds
Of Remedies to No Avail-Wife
Had Debility and Pains in Back.
BOTH USED CUTICURA
AND ARE WELL AGAIN

"My husband had been a great suf-
ferer with rheumatism for nearly fifteen
years. AT first it was in his bones, but
after a while it was in the flesh and
finally running sores broke out on his
legs, from below the knees to the ankles.
There are no words TO tell all the dis
comfort and great suffering he had TO
endure night and day. He used every
kind of remedy and three physicians
treated him, one after the other, with
out any good results whatever. SO
one day L happened TO read about
Cuticura Remedies. L asked him if
he would not try them. No. said he,
it's no use, I've spent enough money
now The next day / ordered five
dollars worth of Cuticura Soap, Cuti-
cura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent.
He began to use them without conf
dence but after three weeks all the
sores were dried up. The burning
fire stopped, and the pains became
bearable. After three months he was
quite well. Two years later the pains
and sores came back after he had been
working hard and had taken cold.
But as soon as he used Cuticura again
it cured him. Two years ago l used
Cuticura Pills for general debility. They
did me great deal of good and made
me well. Three months since had pains
in my back and Cuticura took them
away, too. / can prove this testi-
monial at any time. Mrs. V. V. Albert,

quettishly:
"How could l possibly have known
that you were 50 nice? Besides. !
had always heard you Americans re-
ferred to as brutes."
Graydon laughed then suddenly his
face became very grave. The realiza-
ton of her terrible situation had
lawned upon him. A woman among a
,rowd Of rough soldiers! Her brother
and protector dyingl And all sur
rounded by hordes Of savage enemies
who at any moment might kill them!
The thought dismissed all pleasantly
from his mind. Something must be
done, and at once Presently he asked ::
what is your nameY
"My father was Colonel Ramos Jose
Velasquez. That also is my brothers
name, except that he is not an officer.
l am Teresa Fortune Velasquez. My
mother was English a sister Of Sir
William Fortune She is dead. For
ten years we have lived in Manila"
"You won't mind If | call the ser
geant, will you?" The girl nodded
slightly bewildered assent as Gravdon
moved rapidly toward the others.
Shortly he returned with the gallant
Irishman.
"Senorita," began Connen, hopping
his forehead and assuming his most
polite manner, you are perfectly safe
with us, and as quickly as possible
your brother and yourself shall be sent
back to Manila. You are a brave slip
of a girl, and we boys respect bravery
in whatever dress-boy or girl"
She looked at him in grateful sur
prise, and her lips trembled.
''But l am not your friendT
POSSIBLY, senorita." He bowed low,
with almost Chesterfield liam grace.
"But we are your friends"
Outside once more the Mausers were
rafting, and Connell, with a word of
parting, hastily took his leave. Gray
don, on the point of returning to his
post, was prevented by the girl.

himself upon it. The girl sat below
him, holding her brothers head in her
lap. He was grooming AMI crying oIt
to the soldiers to kill him rather than
permit him to fall into the hands Of the
natives again.
Suddenly there was n great commo-
ton and crashing of timbers in the
front part of the church, followed by
shouts and the rushing of feet. Gray
don dropped from his perch and ran
forth into the chancel. AS he did so
the banging of rifles close at hand
deafened him. In an instant he saw
what had happened. The Filipinos
had charged the door and had forced
it. They were crowding their way
into the church In the face of the
deadly Krag-Jorgensens. The chapel
was lighted. but not from the inside.
Cunning insurgents in the shelter of
the walls were holding great torches
lust outside of the windows. Graydon
could see his comrades firing at the
door from behind every conceivable
barrier Without hesitation he dashed
down the aisle and into the thick Of
the fray near the door
The struggle was brief but fierce
The mercilegs fire of many Mausers on
the outside opened a way through the
small band of defenders and the rush
of the besiegers was successful
Through the door and windows they
came, swarming like bees Many OF
them fell to rise no more, but their
comrades took an eye for an eye.
Once confident soldiers toppled over
dead until but few were left Banse-
mer led them in a quick dash for the
chancel. hoping that the enemy would
not dare attack a place so sacred.
Captain Groce and other officers had
fallen. Cornell became the leader Of
the remnant Bansemer stood squarely
in front of the altar and blazed away
at the horde of Filipinos as they ad-
vanced. They shot at him wildly and
without effect Bullets crashed into
the altar decorations behind him. He
stood there as one protected by God,
unframed in the shelter of the cross.
Behind him his comrades covered
and cursed in thebI lread Of certain
death. He heard the NSs-tsFill cries Of the
girl urging him to protect her brother.
She was calling upon God and the
Holy Virgin to aid and shield him.
And he stood there with a crazy JOY
in his heart, sayagely pulling the trig-
ger of the Krag-Jorgensen. Finally
the hammer snapped with no report
AS he turned back in CONSERVATION a
small figure leaped to his side with a
fresh weapon.
He shouted a word Of warning to
her and wheeled again to confront the
foe Even as he raised the gun a great
shout arose above the noise Of con-
hict. There was a mighty rush, new
banging of guns. a sudden stampede,
and-the chapel was filled with men In
