The girl who has been struggling
vainly during the fall with the dingy
brown line on the neck, the result of

should not despair until she has tried
pumice stone.
If rubbing the stone and soapy water
on the neck each time it is washed is
too hard for the skin, try mixing pow

The Old
Familiar Faces
Copyright, by Bobbs-Merrln Coz

Peele was a wandering Englishman
with certain virtues and a great deal
to say. Keller, who sat beside him on
the balcony of a fonda overlooking the
plaza of BOgota. was a Chicago special
writer, just now engaged in covering
the features of a Colombian revolution
for the Express Syndicate. The two
were talking about Graver, a free
lance, who sat in his room back of the
balcony, goading unto desperation an
unoiled and trOpical-rusted typewriter.
The hopes and memories of Graver
also moved in a Chicago setting,
though it appears that he bunked and
rode and shared labor with Keller for
other and Unknowable reasons.
1T isn't in human fiber to endure
any such amount of work" Keller
whispered. "Gravey's been at it for
16 hours day for 16 times 16 days"
It's a DESCRIPTION" said Peele. 1T
shauws money-greed an is baund t be
shoddy, y knauw."
Ihat' S where you're wrong, Peele,"
Keller remarked. Il know Gravey's
stuff. It's good and clean and gritty.
You can turn it in without editing. He
was liked back in Chicago; so was
his stuff. l don't pretend to under
stand his energy since we came here,
because he liked to lounge back in
Chicago as well as any of US"
'Myby e married a girl just before
e came"
No, he's been married for three or
four years. That didn't make the diff
ference. He was always square at
home, you know"
Els freelawnce I'm tauld," Peele
said languidly, unlimited spyce n all
that. Tell me nauw, 'ow much does
e myke?'
Altogether too much-an amount,
wholly unnewspaperlike. Fifty or sixty
dollars a day, likely. And he don't
write easily-labors, groans, sweats
blood before he gets it coming"
A fit of coughing in Graver's room
silenced the typewriter. Afterward
there was the squeak Of a drawn cork
the suggestion of gurgle, followed by
harsh expulsion of breath, as from
one nauseated.
And that's all new, too" Keller re-
sumed, half-angrily. "Stimulant! It's
so easy, so devilish easy, to get used
to working that way. l believe I'll go
and rope him down, strange him and
make him see the right way!"
Il wouldn't, v knauw," Peele said
thoughtfully. "Myby 'es got his rea-
sons. =. What l have seen, What
l have seen! Wyte till we been back
n forth ere for five years as l ave
-. I ave 'ad playmates; I ave 'ad
companions 81; all, all are gone,
the old familiar fyces!"
And thereupon Peele went down
deep into his inner consciousness and
brought forth tale, a repellant, bar
barrie tale of Colombia, that would
have been bad enough in a metropoli
tan clubroom, but had no place what
soever in the midst of a land that
swarmed with sinister menaces and
swift and dreadful modes of death.

under my pillow. 1t props me up, you
know. You see my chest tickles if l

The bells had rung midnight, but Bo-
gotta was still awake. For hours Lua-
pos column of $4,000 men had lain
partly in, but mostly out of the town,
like a snake with its head in a foul
jug. White-coated, bare-footed figures
slid to and fro across the plaza, com
plicating the shadows and corrupting
the patches OF light. On the following
dawn, Gen. Luapo was to move his
column of government defenders out
into the Cordilleras to meet and stop

his army in to take the capital

SUNDAY REST.

1t Is interesting to read the reports submitted
TO the English House Of Lords by the British rep
resentatives abroad as to how the Sunday is OBJ
served by other countries outside Great Britain
The English House Of Lords are at present consid-
ering Sunday rest bin. and they were anxious to
know the legislation of other countries upon this
most important matter. We submit to our readers
brief epitome of the returns made. Beginning
with Austria We find that only absolutely necessary
work Is allowed there on the Sunday and those en-
gagged in this absolutely necessary work must be
given day of in The week Sunday trading is re
strlcted four hours but on certain extraordinary
occasions this is extended to eight hours. No la
Dor whatsoever Is allowed in Belgium except in
certain factories where TO leave off work would
mean great loss. The persons employed in those
factories must be allowed an equivalent amount of
rest on week day. The shops are closed altogeth-
er on Sundays In Switzerland there is very
strict observance Of the Sunday. Absolutely neces
sary work is only allowed such as work on railways
but the men employed supposed to have sew
enteen free Sundays in the course of the wear. In
certain Cantons the playing Of music at stat
ed hours is forbidden. The Sunday rest in Ger
many is well observed. The law prescribes that
workmcn are TO have 4 rest of twenty-four hours
on all Sundays and holidays, and when the Sun
day and holiday come together, the rest allowed is
thirty-six hours. Special exceptions are made at
Christmas. Easter and Whitsuntide. but the very
minimum that employers must give for relaxation
during these times is forty-eighU hours Hungary,

But do know that from Apostolic times till
own day, the unalterabe church of God has,
i'll every century and in all places, offered up the
adorable sacrifice of the mass and asked the prayers
of her living subjects for the 'repose Of the souls
of the faithful departed"
We also know, as historic fact that even IN
the days of Antiochus Epiphanes, 200 years before
the birth of Lord, Simon, the high priest, of
fered up sacrifices to God and prayer for the repose
of the souls of the who fell in the battles Judas
