"Just about two years ago, some form
OF humor appeared on my scalp. The
beginning was a slight itching but 1t
grew steadily worse until, when combed
my hair, the scalp became raw and the
ends Of the comb-teeth would be wet
with blood. Most of the time there was
an intolerable itching, in a painful,
burning way, very much as a bad, raw

becoming totally bald.
Sometimes the pain was SO great
that, when partially awake, I would
scratch the worst places so that my fin
ger-tips would be bloody. 1 could not
sleep well and, after being asleep o short
time, that awful singing pain would
commence and then I would wake up
nearly wild with the torture. Aneighbor
said it must be salt rheum. Having

Promise.

II promise the husband replied as
he turned away sobbing.
Then an agreement was draw up at
the deathbed, 1t read as follows:
Newark, n. j., Nov. 16, 1905.
ITO Madella D.. Seibert, My Wife:
"My Dear Wife-As you request
me. as a deathbed request, to agree
that our daughter is to be brought
up and cared for by your sister,
Mrs. Elfreda f. Defendorf, until
she is old enough to choose for her
self. | agree that she shall be cared
for as long as Mrs. Defendorf h
be able and capable of so doing.
"Given of my own free will and
accord.
"GODLOVE C. SEIBERT."
In July last the mother of Seibert,
who lives in Orange, got possession OF
the child and brought her to the home
of the child's father in Buffalo. The
father made the statement that his
child was not properly treated at the
home of her aunt. He said that the
child did not nave proper sanitary sur
roundings and is threatened with tuber-
fulosis. He also declared that Mrs.
Defendorf taught the child to disre-
spect him. He says that he signed the
deathbed agreement merely to please
his dying wife, and that Mrs. Defendort
has violated the agreement in not
properly caring for her charge.
Mrs. Defendorf charged that the faith
CT Goes not possess the character or
ability to take care Of the child and
that Seibert's second wife is not a
proper person to take care of Madella.
No information could be obtained to-
day at the Second avenue address eX-
cept the fact that Mrs. Defendorf left
for Buffalo a few days and was
not expected back until next week.
