INTOLERABLE ITCHING.
Fearful Eczema All Over Baby's Face
professional Treatment Failed.
A Perfect Cure by Cuticura.

when my little girl was six months
old l noticed small red spots on her
right cheek. They grew 80 large that
l sent for the doctor but, instead Of
helping the eruption. his ointment
seemed to make it worse. Then I
went to a second doctor who said It
was eczema. He also gave me an oint-
ment which did not help either. The
disease spread all over the face and
the eyes began to swell. The itching
grew intolerable and it was a terrible
sight to see. l consulted doctors for
months, but they were unable to cure
the baby. I paid out from $40 to $50
without relief. One evening | began
to use the Cuticura Remedies. The
next morning the baby's face was all
white instead Of red. ! continued until

Discovered Silver,

1t was a rabbit and a boy that first
discovered silver in the Cobalt region
of Ontario. The boy saw the rabbit
run into a hole, and started to poke
him out with a stick. While at this
he found a piece of silver ore that the
rabbit had scratched out In digging
his retreat. Millions of dollars have
already been taken out Of the ground,
and there are millions to come. All

CHAPTER xu.-Continued.

He looked at his watch; It was half.
past nine; the senate would convene
at ten; the resolution would not be
reached before half-past ten at any
rate; and so he determined to brave
Mrs. Overman Hodge-Lathrop again.
He turned back into the lobby; there
she was, hobnobbing with men; she
did not pass from group to group, aft.
er the manner of any other lobbyist,
but by some coercion he wished he
might be master of, she drew them un-
erringly TO her side. Now she had

instructions.
She had set her committee on less
important game; the ladies were scat
tered over the %rotunda, each talking to
a little set of men. When Mrs. Over
man Hodge-Lathrop saw Vernon COM
ing, she turned from Braidwood and
Porter and stood awaiting him.

flected that he had never known them,
as doubtless no one else had ever

But at tire same time It has been

She turned toward Braidwood and

left them.

She smiled with a fat sweetness,
"And, Morley" she said, order two
carriages for us at ten o'clock. You
may drive to the capitol with u.s."
And she went away.
Vernon ordered the carriages. and In
turning the whole matter over in his
mind he came to the conclusion that
he must deal with these complications

"Oh, not at ALL" she said, lightly,
in the most musical tone she could
command.

She began to hum softly, to herself,
as 1t were, some tuneless air. He re-
membered that 1t was a way she had
when she was angry. 1t was intended
to show the last and utmost personal
unconcern. In such circumstances the
tune was apt to be an improvisation and
was never m%elodious. Sometimes 1t
made her easier to deal with, some
times harder; he could never tell.
81 don't exactly see what we are
here for" he ventured, stealing a look
at her. She had no reply. He idgeted
with his fingers on the arm of the
sofa.

He stopped suddenly.

"Why didn't you answer my letters? ?
Why have you treated me this way? ?
That's what | want to know"
He leaned toward her. He was con,
scious of two emotions, two passions,
struggling within him. one of anger,
almost hate, the other of love, and
strangely enough they had a striking
similarity in their effect upon him. He
felt like %reproaching, yet he knew that
was not the way, and he made a des'
perate struggle to conquer himself.
He tried to look into her face, but
she only turned farther away from
him.
