RAW ECZEMA ON HANDS

Il had eczema on my hands for ten
years. l had three good doctors but
none Of them did any good. I then
used one box of Cuticura Ointment
and three bottles of Cuticura Resolyent
and was completely cured. My hands
were raw all over, inside and out, and
the eczema vas spreading all over my
body and limbs. Before / had used one
bottle, together with the Cuticura
Ointment, my sores were nearly
healed over, and by the time l had
used the third bottle, l was entirely
well. To any one who has any skin
or blood disease I would honestly ad-
wise them to fool with nothing else,
but get Cuticura and get well. My
hands have neve given me the least
bit of trouble up to now.
my daughters hands this summer
became perfectly raw with eczema.
She could get nothing that would do
them any good until she tried Cuti-
cura. She used Cuticura Resolvent

Parade of The Knights.
The grand parade" of Tuesday was
the largest parade of Knights Templar
ever held. The preparations were
elaborate and Michigan boulevard was
most deliberately decorated. The sir
knights formed in line of march on
the boulevard south of Thirty-first
street, and signal to move was given
by the guns of Battery B, |. N. G.. the
detachment for the purpose being
composed of Knights Templar all of
whom are members of the battery.
The same detachment fired the salute
to the grand master.
Marching ~northward in Michigan
boulevard, the parade passed, near
Hubbard cour,, beneath an entrance
arch built in the form Of an ancient
battlement with its towers and tur-
rets. This was intended to represent
the entrance to the city. and as the
column passed under 1t, buglers sta
toned on its heights heralded the an
proach o2 each grand division.

Liddy was right. AS soon as 1 could,
I went uo to the trunkroom, which
was directly over my bedroom The
plan of the upper story of the house
was like that of the second floor, in
the main. One end. however, over
the east wing, had been left only roug-
ly finished, the intention having been
to convert it into a ballroom at some
future time. The maids rooms, trunk
room, and various storerooms, includ-
ing large airy linen room, opened
from long corridor, like that on the
second floor. And in the trunkroom,
as Liddy had said, was a fresh break
in the plaster.
Not only in the plaster, but through
the lathing, the aperture extended. /

feet away, perhaps, could touch the

It was very much of a disappoint-
ment- 1 had expected a secret room,
at the very least, and think even Mr.
Jameson had fancied he might at last
have clew to the mystery. There
was evidently nothing more to be dis
covered; Liddy reported that every
thing was serene among the servants,
and that none of them had been dis
turbed by the noise. The maddening
thing, however. was that the nightly
visitor had evidently more than one
way of gaining access to the house. and
we made arrangements to redouble
our vigilance as to windows and doors
that night.
Halsey was inclined to pooh-pooh
the whole affair. He said a break in
the plaster might have occurred
months aga and gone unnoticed, and
that the dust had probably been
stirred up the day before. After all,
we had to let it got at that, but we
put in an uncomfortable Sunday. Ger

long walk in the morning. Louise
was able to sit up, and she allowed
Halsey and Liddy to assist her down

and palms, cheerful with cushions and
lounging chairs. We put Louise Ia
steamer chair, and she sat there
passively enough, her hands clasped
in her lap.
We were very silent. Halsey sat on
the rail with a pipe, openly watching
Louise, as she looked broodingly
across the valley to the hills. There
was something battling in the girls
eyes; and gradually Halsey's boyish
features lost their glow at seeing her
about again, and settled into grim
lines. He was like his father Just
then.
We sat until late afternoon, Halsey
growing more and more moody. Short
ly before six he got up and went into
the house, and in a few minutes he
came out and called me to the tele-
phone. 1t was Anna Whitcomb, in
town, and she kept me for 20 minutes,
telling me the children had had the
measles and how Nine. Sweeny had
botched her new gown.
