Not an Inch of Healthy Skin Left

Not an Inch of Healthy Skin Left.
My little son, a boy of five, broke
out with an itching rash. Three doc
tors prescribed for him, but he kept
getting worse until we could not dress
him any more. They finally advised
me to try a certain medical college,
but its treatment did no good. At
the time l was induced to try Cuti-
cura he was so bad that | had to cut
his hair off and put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on him on bandages, as it was
impossible to touch him with the bare
hand. There was not one square inch
of skin on his whole body that was
not affected. He was one mass of
sores. The bandages used to stick to
his skin and in removing them it used
to take the skin off with them, and
the screams from the poor child were
heartbreaking. l began to think that
he would never get well, but after the
second application of Cuticura Oint-
ment I began to see signs of improve
ment, and with the third and fourth
applications the sores commenced to
dry up. His skin peeled off twenty
times, but it finally yielded to the
treatment. Now l can say that he is
entirely cured, and a stronger and
healthier boy you never saw than he
is to-day, twelve years or more since
the cure was effected. Robert Wattam,

CHAPTER VI.

When Roger Hews was dispatched
to Pennsylvania az tho confidential
agent OF Carboy, Passavant & Cozine
to verify the strange story told by
Andrew Meleen on his death-bed he
unearthed q far more curious and
complicated series OF episodes, so
unusual and unexpected az to suggest
to his fertile and not prescriptions
mind a plot by which the knowledge
thus gained might DO turned to his
own advantage In several ways.
Briefly told. this Is what he discov.

together Of fact and inference:
When Minna Meleen found herself,
as she supposed. deserted by her hus-
band so soon after their marriage. IN.
able to bear the taunts and gibes of
the village women, she left the out
skirts Of Hazleton. then little more
than q hamlet, and tramped across the
mountains to Nanticoke. Here, being
a complete stranger. she resumed her
maiden name Of Minna Tod, passing
herself of az a widow. and making a
living by sewing and doing chores.
Here O daughter was born to her. A
year and more had elapsed since
leaving Haxleton. when seemingly
authentic tidings reached her that her
husband. Andrew Meleen, had been

Believing herself a free woman, and
being still young and handsome, her
scolding tongue and fiery temper
somewhat cooled by her misfortunes
she permitted herself to be once more
wooed and won. this time by an arti
san named John Trevecca.
In less than a year she presented
rvecca also with a daughter. but
this time she died during her &C
couch.ment, and the infant with her

married again and that his own child
still lived.
To the day Of her death John Trevec.
ca supposed she had been really a
widow when she married him-as, Of
course, did Minna herself. The only
deception she had practiced consisted
In the concealment Of her true name.
When Minna died, John T~revecca
cherished her flrst.born. the little
Eunice. as his own. bringing her up
under his name. giving her a good
education. even sending her 10 q
country seminary for a couple OF
terms: then. in turn. he moved away,
and no n in Nantic0ke heard of him
for many years.
So much OF the past Roger Hews
had discovered when he returned to
San Francisco to report to Mr.. Car.
boy. We have seen how he SUD-
pressed the essential facts, complete.
ly misleading the astute lawyer. When
he vent east for good 1t was with
the idea Of tracing John Trevecca and
his stepdaughter. He hoped that the
girl still lived, and that. fortified with
proofs OF the foregoing facts, he could
eventually produce her as the right
full heir to the millions of old Andrew
Meleen-for that she was his legiti.
mate daughter. born In lawful wed.
lock. no n would be able to gainsay
In the face Of the evidence he could
produce.
In one OF two or three ways Hews
proposed to turn this valuable secret
to his W profit: If the girl were
alive and unmarried and In humble
circumstances. he would try to make
her his wife and divulge the truth
afterwards: in which case Roger Hews
would have somewhat to say con.
corning the spending and scattering
OF old Andrews boarded wealth. II
tho girl were already welded to an.
other. then he hoped to find his &C
count by selling her INT her husband
the story on the best terms possible.
Thirdly. II neither Of these things
were the case. then he could find q
market for his wares with Wilfrid
Stennis. who might be expected tc
pay handsomely for the suppression
OF the secret. thus insuring to himself
a clear title to the property.
II was a clear case Of Heads l win

see. only n contingency could de

Minna and Andrew Meleen might b,

Meantime, he had no objection

After the Rats.

As n country Germany has fewer
rats than any other In the world. This
Is due to the interest taken by the
government in their destruction. II q
boy applies to the mayor Of his town
he Is furnished with traps and paid
half a cent for every skin he brings.
In large towns there are 100 boys at
work all the time. The cost of traps
and bait makes each skin cos the
government about a penny. but as
every rat destroys Ave dollars worth q
year. this makes a tremendous saving.
The mice. though destructive. are
not looked after by the government.
II is expected that every household
will protect itself. However. Q reward
Of a penny Is paid for every three
skins
