Quickly Cured by cuticura.

II suffered from eczema on my
hands, arms and feet for about twelve
years, my hands and feet would swell,
sweat and itch, then would become
callous and get very dry, then peel
off and get raw. tried most every
kind of salve and ointment without
success. I tried several doctors, but
at last gave up thinking there was a
cure for eczema. A friend Of mine
insisted on my trying the Cuticura
Remedies, but l did not give them a
trial until I got so bad that had to
do something. l secured a set and by
the time they were used | could see a
vast improvement and my hands and

Don't Hurt the Birds.

Every farmer and fruit grower
should be Interested In the work of
protecting the native birds. They rep
resent valuable assistants in agricul-
ture and horticulture whose labors
cannot be duplicated by the introduce
ton of any other forces. They de.
stroy the insects and keep the fruit
trees clean of pests that otherwise
might ruin the annual harvests. They
lend assistance just at the proper
time and enable the soil tillers to get
good returns for their labors. 1t is
contrary to the spirit of humanity to
ruthlessly kill the. birds or destroy
their homes The bird lovers merely
ask cooperation Of the people in pro
tecting their home friends.

There may be few exceptions,
of course. A very clever barrister or

exorbitant sums and get them, may
grow rich in time. But your average

CHAPTER xxx-(continued.)

S''5NT En- Overwhelmingly
|s3i Ihe summer sun shone in her hair,
and the south breeze famed her face
like caress of love; the leaves
rustled above her head and grew still,
the birds whisteld and sang from a
hundred branches; but she needed
nothing that was external to herself.
Grayton's words still echoed through
her heart like great anthem of praise
and thanksgiving.
The passing of a vehicle brought her
back at length to herself, and with a
smile on her lips she turned round and
walked back into the house, Eliza,
the maid, noticed that day that Miss
Esther, as she always called her, sang
good deal when she was alone, but
when she was giving her orders in the
Kitchen she was very absent minded.
After that the days passed away
slowly enough, and the first thrill
died down into feeling OF great long
ing and expectancy. 1t was very
sweet to be loved, and sweeter still to
love in return. But. was that passion
ate assertion Of his affection to be
the beginning an end? Was there to
be no following word? SWas she to
be left there wondering and hoping
and never another syllable to break
the long silence?
1t seemed like it. The days passed
away one after another and length
ened into weeks, but no letter came.
Whether Grayton was better or worse,
living Or dead, no one seemed to know
He wrote once to Clement soon after
he got to Yorkshire, and then COM
plete and absolute silence fell He
seemed to desire no further commune
cation either with Clement or any one
else.
Meanwhile, however, Mr.. Jackson
was making the most of his opportuni-
ties. Business appeared to call him
frequently into Cornwall, and every
time he went down into the Duchy
he found an excuse for calling at
Mawgan Chase.
Mrs. Mawgan was always delighted
to see him. 1t gave her an opportu
nifty of hearing more about her son
than Clement chose to tell in his let
tiers. Moreover, with Mr.. Jackson's
help and friendship, she saw how
Clement might in time work himself
into a much more prosperous position
than the one he held atpresent. Hence
she considered it good policy to keep
on friendly terms with her sons en-
ployer. u,
n Esther was no less demonstrative,
and put less warmth into her welcome
She liked Mr.. Jackson very much, and
a spin in his motor car was always
a delight, but she could not quite I'M
derstand why he should come to Nav
gan Chase SO often.
She understood a few days later,
and found herself faced with the
strongest temptation that had ever as.

land; which has been sowed to oats

OF two years ago the winter wheat
killed out somewhat, and our crop
yielded only ten bushels to the acre,
but the spring wheat went "a bushels

be prepared for storms and cold, at

there are exceptional crops, it Is fair

depend on having yield In average
