men,
Later, when the child reached the
house, the greatest possible care was
also taken to guard against surprise,
since the suspicious of the spies had
been keenly aroused. The child, they
swore, had been kept in the villa three
hours in the belief that the countess,
in her anxiety to see her baby, would
return. But when after a wait of three
hours she failed to appear again the
little girl was finally smuggled through
a back gateway and again hidden
somewhere in the country.
The countess swore that never
again, after this display of deceit to
just torture and insult her, would she
think of reconciliation or ever see
his face again. The count retorted
that he was the father of the child
and its natural guardian, since : its
mother had seen fit to leave his pro-
lection, and that he would keep it till
he saw fit, for sufficient reason, to
change his mind
The countess returned to America,
and after having consulted with all
her powerful relatives and friends in
this country, secured her child from
the count. as already to1d.-Chicago

WASTED A FORTUNE ON SKIN
TROUBLE

81 began to have an itching over my
whole body about seven years ago and
this settled in my limb, from the knee
to the toes. 1 went to see great many
physicians, a matter which cost me
fortune, and after / noticed that I did
not get any relief that way, went for
three years to the hospital But they
were unable to help me there. 1 used
all the medicines that could see but
became worse and worse. I had an
Inflammation which made me almost
crazy with pain. When 1 showed my
foot to my friends they would get
really frightened. 1 did not know
what to do. I was so sick and had be-
come so nervous that positively lost
all hope.
'T had seen the advertisement of
the Cuticura Remedies a great many
times, but could not make up my mind
to buy them, for had already used SO
many medicines. Finally did decide
to use the Cuticura Remedies and
tell you that was never so pleased as
when noticed that, after having used
two sets of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura
Ointment and Cuticura Pills, the en-
tire Inflammation had gone. I was
completely cured. 1 should be only
too glad if people with similar disease
would come to me and find out the
truth. would only recommend them
to use Cuticura. Mrs. Bertha Sachs,

n.
AVTW American child from its
NS American soil, according to
G a dispatch from ST. Peters
burg.
Is it likely that the car of Russia
will succeed?
The child is the daughter of the
Countess Gizyki, who has separated
from her husband, Count Joseph
Gfzycki, and is living in this city. She
is daughter of Robert M. Patterson,
the well-known local newspaper pro-
prietOr, who died suddenly in Philadel-
phia the other day.
The countess secured her child from
her husband after an extraordinary
series of thrilling adventures, kidnap-
fngs at midnight and at MONDAY and
wild automobile rides
In these violent encounters her hus-
band was the victor. The countess
was only able to obtain her child in
the end by getting a written order
from the car and paying 100000 for
it
Now it is said that car did not
sign the order, that it was forged and
that he knew nothing about it. There
fore, he proposes to take the child
back to Russia, as she is Russian
subject and was taken away by trick
cry.
Certainly this case was very mys-
FERROUS one, even before the latest
revelation was made public The
American newspapers contained very
sympathetic accounts of the countess
cruel treatment by her unworthy
noble husband, the agonies of a moth
er's heart deprived of her child and
her desperate efforts to gain posses
sion of the little one.
President Taft Interested.
1t was announced that the countess
uncle, Robert Mccormick, recently
United States ambassador to ST.
Petersburg, was using his influence in
that capital to obtain the child for his
niece. 1t was said that President
Taft was interested in the case
Then the countess made a flying
trip to Russia. A cablegram soon an
nOunced that she had secured her
child, but had been compelled to pay
100000 for her. Fresh thrills of in
dignation in the United Statesi
The countess came back to the
United States with her little daughter,
escorted by her cousin, Joseph Medill
Mccormick. They tried to escape OBJ
servation. When cornered by the re-
porters the countess would merely
say:
II can say nothing as to the ar
rangements by which I obtained pos
session of my little girl
She would not even say whether
she had paid money or not
Why was the countess so reticent
and so mysterious? She had won
victory over husband whose conduct
she had frequently denounced. Why
not publish the details to the world?
The explanation. as it has been
printed in Vienna newspaper, adds
new and highly dramatic chapter to
this romance. Count Gizycki, we are
told, was frantic with rage when his
little daughter was last taken from
him. He started on a sleuthing ex-
petition and discovered that fraud
had been practiced on him.
Count Says He Was Tricked.
The count states that when he last
obtained possession of his daughter he
left her on one of his estates in the
interior of Hungary and then went to
Vienna. At his hotel there he found
an order from the Russian ambassa-
dor, saying that he was wanted in St
Petersburg Immediately. AS he was a
Russian subject with an important po-
sition and estates in Russia he obeyed
the officiai order, without stopping to
inquire what was wanted of him.

UP TO CONGRESS
SAYS Mr.. TAFT
President viii Use No Big
Stick" in Forcing the
Railroad Bill
THINKS SOMETHING CAN
BE SAVED FROM WRECK

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON. May 6-Congressional
leaders who had family hoped to discover
the big stick and bring it forth from
some hiding place in the White House to-
day were forced TO accept feather pillow
as the only weapon with which to do
battle for the administration railroad bill.
Ready to accept the mutilated admin
stration bill practically as it now stands
in the Senate. President Taft arrived to-
day with a well defined plan for his in
rendered campaign for the bill
Two of the President pet projects were
the doomed cause of the bin legalizing
pooling. or tariff agreements, and the
eliminated provision for The acquisition Of
minority stock by companies holding 81
per cent. of the stock Of railroads, but the
President, through the long watches Of
his trip from st. Louis reached the con-
clusion he would not make a fight for
them
II he can stiifen the backs Of his sup
porters enough to hold the bill to pres
ent enasculated form, he will be satisfied.
He feels that there is enough good in the
bill, wrecked as it is. to warrant his ac-
ceptance Of the measure.
The Presidents attitude throughaut his
weeks jaunt about the country has been
that the responsibility for the bill no
longer rests with him. but with the Re
publcans in Congress. It is very prob
able that despite appeals from leaders
today and tomorrow, he will steadfastly
maintain that attitude and avoid mixing in
the fight at all.
Tafts present attitude is peace at the
price Of the bill as 1t now stands, and as
little Republican internal strife as poss-
ible. it is certain that unless radical
change in the present measure arc made
there is not much danger Of Taft vetoing
measure. although he holds that means
of escape for a final defeat Of his plans.
